Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 5 The legendary hidden props

It is a huge ancient tree that burns like fire, with thousands of strands of light falling down like waterfalls. Its vines are like the most gorgeous silk in the world. It stands in the city like a **** descending to the world, overlooking the misery. of earth.

Skyscrapers are so humble and insignificant in front of it.

How could such a majestic tree appear in the city?

Lu Fuji has never seen such a spectacular sight.

 He was enveloped by the brilliance and fragrance of the ancient tree, as if his soul had soared to the sky, the frequency of his breathing and heartbeat became stronger, and his energy and energy were fuller than ever before.

 It feels like arriving in heaven.

 Not only him, but everyone felt the warmth and chill.

 Warmth comes from the sacred tree.

 The chill comes from the ancient altar under the tree.

The believers knelt and worshiped in front of the altar. They were wrapped in moon-white robes, and the outline of the bones were smeared with blood on their backs. At first glance, they looked like corpses wrapped in shrouds.

An old priest stood in the center of the altar, with a blood-red heart pendant suspended in his palm. It clearly looked like a flesh-and-blood organ, but it was wrapped in a metal shell. It vibrated like a living thing. , flowing out gurgling blood.

 Thick blood dyed the soil red and was about to spread to where the cocoons were.

"Look, our holy object is so magnificent. We, the ants, can only mutilate ourselves under its mystery. I can get it because of luck. This is a great gift from the holy mountain. , according to research, it is an extremely special life form, but no one has been able to truly awaken it for more than a hundred years.”

The old priest shouted enthusiastically: "Today we will use its power to return the sacred tree to its original posture and purify this world that has been tainted by false gods!"

Lu Fuji finally understood that the unburied corpses in the church, the strange diary, and the crazy believers under the golden ancient tree were all self-evident.

 They were involved in the rituals of a group of heretics.

The cocoons here are specially selected, so the people in the cocoons will have difficulty in giving birth. When they emerge from the cocoons, they will turn into bloodthirsty and ferocious mummies, becoming what the heretics call White Walkers.

It means that they were lucky and were not found in the cocoon, otherwise they would have been used as sacrifices and turned into corpses that exuded a foul odor.

Wait a minute!

 Hidden plot that will only appear in the public beta!

If Lu Fuji didn't find any so-called hidden props when he cleared the dungeon during the initial test, then the variable should be here, the special plot mentioned by his parents!

 Is it possible that the hidden plot is this group of heretics?

 And the so-called holy object in their hands is the ultimate prop!

 The prayers stopped abruptly.

The old priest raised his head, half of his face was sickly pale, and the other half was rotten and festering like a mummy, with no emotion in his eyes.

The white-robed believers also turned around and stared at them. Their rotten faces were like evil ghosts crawling out of hell, with empty expressions and stern eyes.

 Police Officer An and Boss Zhang braked suddenly and forcibly stopped.

 “I said we were lost, do you believe it?”

 Lu Fuji raised his hands high.

Gurgled.

 Everyone was frightened by this battle.

It seems that what they arrived at was not heaven, but hell.

A strange smile appeared on the old priest's lips, and he said hoarsely: "Are these cocoon breakers who were forgotten in the land of the past? They are really the best sacrifices, catch them!"

The believers got up from the ground, sharp daggers sticking out of their sleeves.

Lu Fuji originally had a glimmer of naive hope.

 Let’s see if we can negotiate.

 Looks like there is no chance.

 “Get them!”

 The old priest gave the order, and the believers rushed out.

  ·

  ·

 Police Officer An roared: "Run!"

 “Spread out, spread out quickly!”

Lu Fuji and his companions fled in all directions. There were a lot of tombstones in this cemetery, which was very suitable for hide-and-seek. Those fanatical believers had strong individual combat power, but their numbers were not very large.

If you want to catch them all, it will definitely not be possible in a short time.

Unexpectedly, the speed of the believers was so fast. Even though they had already escaped in advance, they were still overtaken in just a split second. When sharp daggers pierced their backs, screams could not be heard.

boom!

Police Officer An fired again, and one shot blew off a believer’s head.

 “I didn’t expect there were police officers.”

The old priest said solemnly: "Take his gun away!"

Lu Fuji's eyes flickered, thinking of the mummies in the cemetery, and shouted: "Quick, run back, those mummies should be attacking indiscriminately, we can take the opportunity to escape!"

I have to say that Lu Buer’s proposal was really eye-catching. Officer An and Boss Zhang asked everyone to run back, but a group of black figures appeared in the fog, and there were chaotic footsteps.

Lu Buer's heart felt cold. He didn't expect that the way back would be blocked.

Not only that, he also heard the sound of mummies running towards him.

 It’s over!

　　When the fog cleared, the person rushing at the front was rolling and crawling, as if someone had driven the ducks here, and behind him were the crazy mummies, bloodthirsty and ferocious!

Lu Fuji felt that the man looked familiar, so he thought no.

 “Brother Lu?”

That guy is clearly Jose. He is now covered in snow water and filth, like a loach that has rolled in the mud. It is obvious that his journey has not been easy.

As expected, Jose also arrived at the cemetery, and they rushed in the direction of the light source, eventually meeting up with the other survivors.

“I finally found you. When I see you, my eyes are filled with tears!”

José looked as excited as a bull, and he was followed by a group of survivors. It seemed that the overall survival rate was quite high, probably because he had not experienced the attack of mummies.

 Just when He Sai ran to the tree, his footsteps stopped abruptly.

The believers headed by the old priest all turned their heads, staring at their group of delicious lambs with crazy and ferocious eyes, and a strange smile appeared on their grins.

“Do you still want to shed tears now?”

 Lu Buer wiped his face and said angrily.

 “I’m sorry!”

José's expression became increasingly ferocious, and he grabbed his arm: "Run!"

 The survivors dispersed in a hurry, and the believers rushed forward with smiles.

 “Brother Lu, you go first!”

Jose roared angrily, took out an oversized chainsaw from behind, and when it was turned on at full speed, it made a deafening roar. He rushed out like Lu Bu wielding a halberd, immediately frightening the believers. Know who this is.

Lu Fuji finally knew how this guy survived, he was the real **** of war.

“José, where did you get this chain saw?”

"I found a military equipment box on the way here. There are a lot of things in it, but not much that can be used... By the way, Brother Lu, why do you stink so much? Have you eaten shit?"

 “Shut your stinking mouth and get closer to me if you want to survive!”

They were talking back to back, as if they were chatting in the trenches, but instead of being surrounded by bullets and bullets, they were surrounded by fanatical believers who were watching eagerly.

The mummies finally launched an attack. The main targets of the attack were the new survivors. Because they were not coated with corpse liquid, they were torn apart in an instant.

 And those fanatical believers are not attacked, most likely because their bodies are also rotten, exuding a putrid smell, like corpses.

The scene became chaotic for a while, but the old priest stared at the brothers in distress. He held the blood-red heart pendant and rushed over with a tiger's lunge.

 “Brother Lu, be careful!”

José yelled: "Behind your back!"

Lu Fuji hurriedly swung out the electric baton and hit him on the head!

Unexpectedly, the old priest stretched out his withered right hand and easily grabbed his electric baton. He let the electric current shoot out but remained motionless. He exerted a slight force on his palm and flattened the stick body little by little!

 “Damn it, this Lao Deng is so powerful!”

Lu Fuji cursed loudly, and then the old man punched him in the abdomen. The huge force knocked him out and rolled on the ground several times like a ball.

José saw this and rushed forward with a chainsaw, but was also punched and knocked over.

"You who have only been baptized by the sacred tree and have not mastered the sacred rhythm have not started the true path of evolution. You are not the true cocoon breakers. You are very weak!" The old priest threw away the withered electric baton. Throw it on the ground.

José grabbed his chest and struggled to get up, cursing: "Why does this old man talk so much nonsense? Don't you know that villains die because they talk too much?"

Lu Buer's belly was also tumbling, and he rolled and said hoarsely: "Don't you always mock me when you play Landlords?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old priest's bones made a crackling sound as he strode towards them.

That kind of cruel and bloodthirsty eyes, as if appreciating the blood food. “Lao An, save the child!”

 Boss Zhang rolled around and shouted: "Grenade!"

 Police Officer An subconsciously took out a grenade from his pocket.

That was the life-saving trump card they picked up on the road.

But at this moment he hesitated because he was afraid of killing the two children as well.

Lu Fuji happened to catch a glimpse of the grenade. Knowing the importance of this thing, he pushed himself up and rushed out. He raised his fingers and said, "Come on, Lao Deng, kill me if you dare."

As expected, the old priest came back angrily.

The deer neither hid nor retreated, but instead smiled.

 Lao Deng, fell into the trap.

The reason why you have to rush out is that you have to use your own body as bait. You have to keep a safe distance from your companions, and you also have to ensure that the other party can 100% eat the grenade.

Of course, he also used his own life and death to force Officer An to throw the grenade.

Even if it doesn't explode at this time, he will die.

 It’s better to just blow it up.

 There is no guide to the hidden plot, so he can only take risks and try, and the worst he can do is die.

  Since they are terminally ill anyway, it would not be a bad idea to die.

At this time, Officer An could no longer hesitate. He pulled out the ring and threw the grenade.

At this moment, when the old priest rushed over, the grenade that passed through the air exploded on his back, blowing him away.

 There was a bang, like thunder rolling.

Even though there was an old priest across the way, Lu Buer was knocked over by the explosion.

His brain was shaken by the aftermath of the explosion. Everything in his vision became blurred and doubled. There was a sharp roar in his ears, and the world was spinning.

Officer An's grenade was thrown accurately. He was only injured by the aftermath of the explosion. Although it was fatal to ordinary people, it was still bearable for him.

 As for the grenade's damage, the old priest almost blocked it all, and it was full of damage.

 “Brother Lu! Brother Lu!”

José’s call could be heard faintly in my ears. It was clearly close at hand but seemed to be far away.

Lu Fuji reluctantly raised his head, and was shocked to find that Lao Deng was staggering towards him. A piece of this guy's head had been blown off, and thick blood flowed horizontally, which was tragic and terrifying.

 Hell, this is not even dead.

His scalp was numb, and when he was about to forcefully get up, he happened to see the blood-red heart-like pendant rolling over and finally falling into his hand.

  ·

  ·

 The remaining sanity allowed Lu Bueryi to find a way to survive.

Since this group of lunatics want to use this thing for sacrifice, then he can hold the pendant to convince the believers!

He reached out and grabbed the pendant, but it felt like he was holding a hot iron.

The blood-red heart pendant pulsated strangely in his palm, and instantly melted into a dark, viscous substance that got into his palm in an instant.

 Only the metal shell is left, with a faint light shining on the surface.

Gone!

Lu Fuji was shocked. He felt a tingling sensation in his palms, as if an unknown substance had penetrated into his body, flowing along the blood vessels to every corner of his body, and finally passed through the patch in his brain. The place where the disease often occurs is completely stopped.

And a strange heart mark suddenly appeared on his palm.

“A special disease variant has been detected, the fit is 100%, the rarity rate cannot be calculated, and it is determined to be an orphan case!”

 “The seeds of the gods are being fused…”

 “Dark matter devouring authority is now open!”

 “Failed to start!”

A cold mechanical voice seemed to be ringing in my head: "It has been detected that the host has not completed evolution. Please become an evolver as soon as possible and open up the permission to the God's Seed!"

The mechanical sound fell silent, and the metal shell turned into a dead object.

Lu Fuji was dumbfounded. He just heard the heretics describe this strange heart during the ceremony. It is said that it is a special life form, but no one can awaken it.

Now this thing is integrated with myself.

 “Special disease variant?”

 Wait a minute, maybe this is what my parents said.

 Special hidden props hidden in the dungeon!

 Because the moment the seeds of the gods merged, he actually had a strong desire to prey, as if the mummy in front of him was no longer a terrifying monster, but food that could be hunted.

 A strong feeling of hunger came over me.

 Even had the urge to devour those monsters.

Lu Fuji felt extremely ridiculous, but now was not the time to think about this. There was a more fatal crisis waiting for him.

　　Originally, the old priest was also dizzy from the explosion, but he immediately lost his mind after seeing this scene.

 “You ugly creature, how dare you touch our sacred relics?”

 Lao Deng roared crazily and raised his withered hands to strangle him: "What did you do to the holy object? Give it back to me! Give it back to me immediately!"

Lu Fuji cursed in his heart. If this so-called god's seed was an easter egg left by his parents, then it should have been his.

This Lao Deng obviously had a plan to kill himself by taking advantage of him!

It’s a pity that this god’s seed is currently unable to activate the corresponding permissions because it has not evolved, so it is of no use at all at this time.

At the critical moment, he sat on the ground and backed away crazily, slapping the ground constantly.

José's chain saw had been blown away. He rummaged through the equipment box but couldn't find anything useful. In the end, he could only take out a...flare gun.

 Flare guns can also cause damage when fired at close range.

 “Throw it over, throw it over!”

Lu Fuji glanced at the flare gun with his peripheral vision and growled.

José didn’t know what the flare gun was for, but he could only throw it at him.

 Lu Fuji grabbed the flare gun, but the old priest had already rushed over, his withered right hand tightly locked his throat, and the other hand kept groping on his body.

 Probably he wanted to find the holy object.

 Police Officer An and Boss Zhang wanted to save him, but it was too late.

 Just as Shika Fuji was preparing to fight back with the flare gun, something suddenly occurred to him.

 In the end, he did not choose to shoot Lao Deng in front of him with a flare gun.

　　But it is launched towards the sky.

boom.

 The mist is illuminated by red light.

The old priest's face was also illuminated, but he ignored it and just kept roaring: "Give it back to me, give me back my sacred object! Where did you hide it? Give it back to me quickly! "

 His hands became harder and harder.

 Fortunately, because of his serious injury, he couldn't use much strength.

 But even so, Lu Fuji couldn't resist.

Lu Fuji tried his best to struggle but to no avail. As time passed by, just when he was about to be strangled to death, there was a faint sound of wind.

 No, it’s not the wind.

 The old priest and his followers were stunned.

 Lu Fuji knew he had made the right bet.

May I ask what a group of crazy believers are most afraid of when they hold a secret ceremony in a forbidden area?

Of course it was discovered by the Orthodox Church.

What Lu Buer has to do is to lure their enemies over.

Under the light of the ancient golden tree, the thick blood spread along the dry earth, as if nourishing the tree roots deep underground. A strong wind blew in the snow and fog, and the golden vines swayed like dragons and snakes.

 Everyone looked up at the sky and saw the shadow of the helicopter falling from the sky.

“Call the Admiralty Department, this is the patrol team numbered B537. There is a life disaster in the place of death, and a cleanup mission is about to be carried out, and the rescue of the cocoon breakers will begin. Report completed.”

There was a faint sound of knives, suddenly breaking the terrifying screams.
