Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 549 The Second Summoning Altar

Wang Tao agreed to become a committee member of the base, a person with real power and great authority, but one who doesn't get involved in any matter.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care about anything. Wang Tao will definitely get involved in some key and important matters.

Before leaving, Gu Yun told Wang Tao that if he wanted, he could go to the committee to guide the work tomorrow. However, the specific time of joining the committee and the inauguration ceremony would have to wait. Because the other committee members had not yet been selected, Wang Tao was the first one to be confirmed.

This committee is different from the previous ones. The number of people this time is going to be more streamlined, but Gu Yun can't explain how to do it. Wang Tao can go to the committee himself or wait for Gu Yun's notice.

He also specifically told Wang Tao to make sure to set aside time to attend the inauguration ceremony. If Wang Tao really didn't have time, they could even wait until Wang Tao was done with his work.

After all, Wang Tao is the first person in Changhe Base. Although he has not appeared in public many times, he is still very famous and has many fans. If he does not show up, then this ceremony will lack some meaning.

As for the official time of taking office, it may be one to two weeks later.

Wang Tao is planning to go out tomorrow. In that case, he will calculate the time and come back in a week.

At night, Qu Shilin woke up. Without any surprise, she successfully advanced to the fifth level.

[Health Volume: 220000/220000]

[Blue amount: 70000/70000]

[Level: Level 5]

[Impurities in the body: 3%]

[Awakening: Insight]

"Congratulations!"

Wang Tao, along with Ding Yuqin and his group, smiled and congratulated Qu Shilin.

"I am also a fifth-level awakener..."

Qu Shilin was a little bit unbelievable at first. After all, not counting Wang Tao's Spark Club, there was only Cheng Yiyi, a fifth-level awakener in the entire base. It was too easy for her to become a fifth-level awakener. She felt like she was dreaming.

Then Qu Shilin became excited again - she accepted this exciting fact, she was indeed a fifth-level awakener!

And finally, Qu Shilin suddenly revealed an expression of confusion and realization.

"what happened?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

Qu Shilin's face seemed to be changing, with a very rich expression on it.

"I seem to understand how to make the fifth-order gene medicine... I seem to understand the things that I didn't understand before... But I have some new doubts..." After Qu Shilin's face changed several times, he immediately shouted, "I want to go to the laboratory!"

"..."

I can only say that Qu Shilin is indeed a successful scientist. With her spirit of research, it is impossible for her not to succeed.

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

"Why are you so polite?"

Wang Tao took Qu Shilin to jump on the golden eagle and sent it back to the research institute. By the way, he told her about the issue of taking Xiaohuo with him. Qu Shilin said it didn't matter, hers was Wang Tao's, there was no need to distinguish between them.

After returning, Wang Tao talked to everyone about his going out tomorrow.

"Are you going alone, or taking us with you?"

Ding Yuqin looked at Wang Tao with some anticipation. She felt that she had not worked with Wang Tao for a long time.

Wang Tao thought for a while and said:

"I'll go by myself this time."

The main purpose of his going out this time was to take a look at the Silver Snake Base and the place that Shen Cuishan mentioned that was suspected to be the summoning altar.

The former was not a big deal. Even if the Silver Snake base was in chaos, it was still made up of survivors. Wang Tao was not worried about his own safety. He just needed to be more vigilant. But the place that was suspected to be the summoning altar might be dangerous.

After all, the summoning altar can summon seventh-level creatures. If there is any danger, there may be trouble if there are too many people.

"OK then……"

Ding Yuqin didn't ask much, but just felt a little disappointed.

Wang Tao smiled and pinched her little face.

"Next time, after I figure out the situation at the Silver Snake Base, we'll go over and take a look together."

"Good~"

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Wang Tao first sent Lan Yulian and the others out of the city. After all, Wang Tao was not at home, and they had nothing to do at home, so they decided to go out to hunt monsters and obtain crystal cores.

This time it was a new crack, called Crack No. 2. The previous one was Crack No. 1. There were no high-level monsters in Crack No. 1. Given the current strength of the Spark Club, it was naturally not worth exploring.

Although crack No. 2 is far away from crack No. 1, it is the second closest crack to Changhe Base.

There are a few more cracks further away, but they are too far away, so it is safer to explore the ones nearby first.

It is not yet known what dangers are inside this No. 2 crack, but Ding Yuqin and the others are all fifth-level awakeners after all, so even if they encounter danger, they can deal with it calmly.

Wang Tao actually wanted to go into the crack and take a look, but considering that he had his own things to do, he gave up.

After watching everyone enter the crack, Wang Tao thought that he should get them some flying mounts. After all, the golden eagle had been following Wang Tao, and it would be inconvenient for others to not have flying mounts.

The golden eagle had said before that there were other flying mutant beasts in this area, but they were all driven away by the golden eagle. So Wang Tao should pay more attention in the future, and he should be able to encounter them. As long as they are not flying zombies, they should be able to be caught and used...

"Pay more attention next time..."

After Wang Tao muttered to himself, he let the golden eagle fly towards the Silver Snake Base again.

The entourage this time was similar to the last time, with Wang Tao himself, Lightning and Jiang Shixue. But this time there were two more minks, and it was quite fun to have these two lively guys along the way.

After a while, the golden eagle began to slow down, and the place that Shen Cuishan mentioned, which was suspected to be the summoning altar, was approaching.

Shen Cuishan only gave a rough idea of the place, and Wang Tao had to look for the exact location carefully, after all, there was no house number available.

However, not long after Wang Tao arrived at this area, he found a clue - he saw a group of survivors.

There are more than fifty survivors in this group, most of whom are ordinary people wearing thick clothes and strong bodies, and they are led by six fourth-level awakeners.

This combination is very strange, because ordinary people appearing in this environment is seeking death, unless there are powerful awakened people to protect them. But it is obviously unreasonable for the awakened people to go to great lengths to protect such a group of useless ordinary people who appear in this place where no one lives...

Wang Tao had reason to suspect that this group of people was going there to "improve their strength", and those ordinary people were the sacrifices for these six awakened ones.

So Wang Tao followed them secretly in the sky.

The wind and snow were very strong and the golden eagle was quite far away, so it was obvious that this group of people could not find it.

The group of people walked slowly for a while, and when they came to the foot of a big mountain, they suddenly disappeared one after another. Looking carefully, they found that they all entered a very hidden cave.

"This is it!"

Shen Cuishan had told him before that the place where one could improve their strength was in a cave. That should be it.

"Go and have fun by yourself. I'll call you when I need something."

Wang Tao left some nutrient solution for the golden eagle, then put the two minks in his pocket, and finally held Jiang Shixue in one hand and Lightning in the other, and jumped off the back of the golden eagle. Wang Tao was very cautious about the summoning altar. If there were creatures above level six here, the golden eagle, which was too big, might alarm it. So it was better to be low-key and just jump down from the air.

When he was about to land, two huge wings suddenly opened behind Wang Tao. His landing speed suddenly slowed down, and then he landed gently on the ground.

Since obtaining the pair of dark-blood wings, Wang Tao has not used it to fight much, but he has to admit that it feels really good to fly.

brush--

Wang Tao let go of Jiang Shixue and Lightning, and folded his wings. The two little minks poked their heads out of Wang Tao's pocket.

"Let's go, let's go there."

Wang Tao took a few quick steps and saw a very hidden cave.

The outside of this cave is blocked by many rocks, and there is a lot of snow on the rocks, so whether from the top or from the front, the existence of this cave cannot be seen. It can only be discovered from a specific angle.

"It's quite hidden..."

Wang Tao used his mental power to carefully explore the cave entrance, but did not find anything wrong, no summoning altar, and no humans.

"The cave seems to be very big..."

Wang Tao didn't hesitate and went in directly.

After entering the cave, it was obvious that the temperature here had risen a lot, but there were no lights or torches here, and it was completely dark. But this was naturally no problem for Wang Tao and his team, who all had night vision.

After taking a look at the messy footprints on the ground, Wang Tao immediately followed.

Not long after, Wang Tao saw some lights in front of him, which were torches on the wall.

At the same time, Wang Tao vaguely felt a very special and mysterious atmosphere.

"Pay attention, we are almost there..."

After a moment, the view suddenly became clear.

An empty hall appeared before my eyes, with a few thin torches hanging high on the wall. In the middle of the hall, the shadows of a group of people were swaying in the firelight.

"There are a lot of people!"

Wang Tao estimated that there were more than a hundred people here, most of whom were ordinary people with little fighting ability. Half of these ordinary people were just brought here, and they were still wearing thick clothes and wrapped tightly. The other half of the ordinary people showed their faces, and you could see the excitement on their faces.

In addition to these ordinary people in the middle, there are 12 fourth-level awakeners on the periphery.

These 12 awakened ones are all fully armed and have their faces covered, not showing their true faces.

However, their disguise could not hide from Wang Tao's mental detection. Wang Tao randomly picked an awakened person with big breasts, took a look with his mental power, and unexpectedly discovered that it was an acquaintance.

"Shen Cuishan? She's here again... She's really not afraid of death."

Wang Tao shook his head and did not go up to greet them. He and Jiang Shixue hid in the shadows together.

The hall is huge, and there are only a few torches, so there are a lot of shadow areas. This makes the place even more mysterious...

"Brother, is there a summoning altar here?"

Jiang Shixue communicated with Wang Tao using her mental power.

"Should be. I sensed a mysterious aura that is very similar to the summoning altar in my hand..."

Wang Tao explained.

When the summoning altar is placed, Wang Tao cannot see the specific information. Therefore, Wang Tao cannot see it intuitively and can only judge by experience.

But what made Wang Tao curious was that didn't it say that sacrifice could only improve one person's strength at a time, and the others had to wait in line? How come there were 12 awakeners in it now? Could they be improved at the same time?
……

"You guys came too late!"

In the crowd, a thin awakener spoke. His voice was very hoarse, like scratching glass, which was unbearable. However, Wang Tao could feel that he must have deliberately pretended to have such a voice in order to hide his true identity.

"You're talking without any pain in your waist! It's snowing so heavily outside, and we brought so many people with us. We're lucky to be able to come here today! Next time you bring people here, I'll see if you can still talk slowly!"

Another person spoke up. This person was one of the six awakened ones who brought the survivors here.

"Oh, it's not like I haven't brought it before. I always came here in advance."

"You only brought a few sacrifices! You just carried the sacrifices and left, while we brought half of the total number of sacrifices! How can you compare?"

"..."

The two were not very satisfied with each other and started arguing.

The ordinary people had kept their heads down, not daring to join in the bickering between the big guys. But when they heard the word "sacrifice", they all became curious.

Sacrifice? What sacrifice?
They didn't see anything that looked like a sacrifice during their journey. They didn't even bring much food with them, saying that there was enough food in the Silver Snake Base for them to eat. But they were also very curious. Aren't they going to the Silver Snake Base? Why did they end up in this cave? There's a dead end in the cave...

"Okay, stop arguing! Do you still want to improve your strength? Business is more important, so hurry up and offer these sacrifices. Finish the job quickly and go home early!"

Someone shouted impatiently.

"Humph!"

The two men glared at each other and stopped arguing.

Then the 12 awakened ones all looked at the group of ordinary people, their excitement and excitement were not concealed at all. The hearts of the ordinary people suddenly skipped a beat, and they suddenly had a bad premonition.

"God of Fire, please enjoy your sacrifice... Please grant us strength..."

The 12 awakened ones surrounded this group of ordinary people, pointed at them, and muttered some weird words.

No matter how dumb these ordinary people were, they knew something was wrong. They were very panicked and subconsciously wanted to leave, but they suddenly found their bodies going limp and they collapsed to the ground exhausted.

"Hahaha! Don't run away, sacrifices! Offer yourself to the great God of Fire!"

One of the awakened ones laughed crazily.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tao was ready to take action. It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but since he saw it, he would definitely stop the sacrifice.

But Wang Tao stopped again, because he felt that the summoning altar did not seem to have activated the sacrifice...

"Huh? What's going on?"

After a while, the awakened ones were a little confused to see that the sacrifices were still alive and well.

"Why doesn't the God of Fire eat the sacrifices?"

"Are the steps wrong? They should all be correct..."

"what's the situation?"

"..."

"Wait! It seems that... the number is wrong!"

"That's impossible. 108 sacrifices plus our 12 believers. Isn't that what we agreed on before? Is there a lack of sacrifices? Let me count again..."

"No! It's not that there are fewer sacrifices, but that there are more believers! Besides the 12 of us... there are other people here!"

In the dark, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

"Eh? The rules of this summoning altar seem to be different from my summoning altar..."
