Final Priesthood

Chapter 101 The Magic Mountain

　　Mi night.

 A hooked moon.

In a ruined courtyard of a deserted village, the Crow God's Attendant, completely enveloped in the rich black air, stood quietly twenty meters away from the road.

 Under the moonlight, the black energy on his body surged violently.

Suddenly extended, shooting towards Luyuan like a tentacle.

"stop!"

Lu Yuan suddenly pressed the "pause button".

The scene in front of me suddenly stopped, everything was frozen.

Lu Yuan thought, and his consciousness immediately entered the body of the Crow God.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　�

 A strange and powerful feeling arises spontaneously.

His vocal cords felt like they had been slashed, and there was a lump of old phlegm stuck in his throat that he couldn't cough up.

 The limbs are all deformed, and the bones in many parts of the body are twisted and growing, making the experience very bad.

Lu Yuan endured the discomfort and slowly released the "pause button".

 Of course, we still maintain the "slow playback".

 He carefully experienced the feeling that this body brought to him when the black energy surged.

 The turbulent death energy seems to emerge from the depths of the flesh, flesh and bones of the body.

There are nodes one after another in these parts where death energy flows out.

 While releasing the death energy, it is also constantly absorbing the death energy from all around.

 “Save!”

A word popped into Lu Yuan’s mind.

 Then the whole person suddenly became enlightened.

His consciousness quickly returned to his original body, and after freezing the Crow God, he directly tried to activate [Death Wind Coil].

Wisps of black energy gathered in the palm of Lu Yuan's hand.

Part of it comes from his own output, but most of it appears out of thin air.

“The death energy I summon when I activate my skill basically comes from the death energy naturally remaining in the surrounding environment. This is fundamentally different from the Crow God Warrior.”

 Lu Yuan’s mind is turning and analyzing quickly.

The Crow God Attendant stores the death energy in his body and draws it out directly when using it.

 He is called temporarily.

The body does not need to remain in contact with the dead energy for a long time, and naturally it avoids the possibility of being infected by the dead energy and causing physical deformation.

“It’s equivalent to the career panel eliminating the side effects of this extraordinary power.

 The cost is that the efficiency of mobilizing dead energy is slightly slower.”

The Crow God's Attendant, who was far away from the road, leaped forward and stood still, taking a deep breath.

  Level 3 [Absolute Concentration], Level 1 [Special Power] and the special move [Crane Shadow Floating] are activated at the same time.

In an instant, his arms became stronger and thicker, with veins protruding like a giant python protruding its head.

Different from the past, this time the green and black giant python is still wrapped with strands of black death energy.

"boom!"

This punch hit Crow God's chest firmly, and the whole fist was deeply dug in.

Unfortunately, the Crow God was immobilized, as unresponsive as a wooden stake. He just jumped back a few meters.

 After Lu Yuan pressed down the punch, he looked at the Crow God Waiter again.

I found that the thick death energy on the Crow God's chest had been cut by him as big as a bowl, and the flesh and blood inside was dented. It is estimated that many bones must have been broken.

"My death energy can offset other people's death energy, and I can finally hurt him."

A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face, he was very satisfied with the power of this punch.

He doesn't need the death energy to gather quickly, because his fundamental reliance is on his own martial arts strength.

 Death Qi can only be regarded as an extra layer of blessing.

 Add some "corrosion" and "defense breaking" effects to his attacks.

“When I punched [Crane Shadow Floating in the Air] just now, the vision of the crane shadow in my mind seemed to have changed a bit.”

Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and started to remember.

 When he just punched, the vision of the crane's shadow floating in the sky naturally appeared in his mind, and the image of the crow's dream he had experienced before seemed to flash in his mind.

 Subsequently, [Crane Shadow Floating in the Sky] punched and produced subtle changes.

 It’s hard to say, but it does exist.

“Could it be that I am really on the right path?”

The road is long and thoughtful, standing there quietly savoring it.

 “It is no longer needed for the time being.”

Lu Yuan carefully removed the last peephole surveillance camera installed downstairs in his house and stuffed it into his backpack with emotion.

Several stray cats were wandering around his feet. Lu Yuan smiled, took out a few ham sausages that were originally intended to be fed to the crows from his backpack, tore open the packaging and fed them to them.

 After finishing off the second burrowing rat monster with his own hands, Lu Yuan's whole mood suddenly relaxed a lot.

 The big stone that had been pressing on my heart disappeared, and even my breathing seemed to become easier.

 “Gugu—gugu—”

The sound of someone feeding pigeons could be heard on the road outside the front yard. Lu Yuan, who has excellent hearing now, immediately recognized that it was his mother Zheng Qiuling.

He looked slightly moved and walked out of the courtyard with his backpack.

As soon as I walked onto the road, I saw my mother standing in front of her store, grabbing a handful of millet and feeding a few black ones with a "coo-coo-coo" sound.

crow? !

“Mom, do you know what kind of bird this is?”

Lu Yuan walked up and pointed at the little crow who was pecking at the rice in front of him, with a strange look on his face.

Zheng Qiuling glanced at him and said, "Crow, do you think your mother is an idiot?"

 “It’s not bad luck.”

“Thanks to your young age, you are still a top student in high school, but you are still as superstitious as an old lady.”

Zheng Qiuling clapped her hands, shook the rice grains out of her fingers, and then waved to Lu Yuan mysteriously.

 “Come, come here.”

Lu Yuan came forward curiously, but was dragged into the store by his mother.

 Then quietly opened a drawer inside the counter.

When Lu Yuan took a closer look, he saw several bright gold ornaments and a diamond ring belonging to the boss.

"this"

 “It’s all they took in their mouths.”

“These days I often find things at the door as soon as I open the door.

 At first it was broken glass, broken pieces of iron, etc., and then it turned into gold and diamond rings.

 When I checked the surveillance, guess what, it’s all the work of these little guys.

What kind of crow is this? It is clearly a black heralding bird! "

Zheng Qiuling smiled happily.

Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this before he realized what he was saying.

 That's right, crows like to collect shiny things.

It would be great to have a bunch of crow brothers under your hands, and use them to find gold in the sewers and gutters.

 A great way to make money.

 Why didn’t I think of this before? These 14 points of intelligence were really wasted.

Lu Yuan was both emotional and happy.

At that moment, I made up my mind to ask the crow brothers to bring something valuable to my mother every now and then.

 It can also be regarded as a disguised improvement of family conditions.

 You can only pick it up, not steal it. This principle still applies.

“But you’re right, it’s really not good to have so many crows gathering at the door every day. We don’t mind, but others might.

  It will affect business back.

Or think of a way to lure them back? "

Lu Yuan suddenly felt funny when he saw his mother's "want and want" look.

Hushly reached into the drawer and took out the diamond ring inside. He held it between his fingers and rubbed it gently. It immediately turned into a small handful of transparent scum.

 “Fake, made of glass, worthless.”

 Lu Yuan specifically explained to Zheng Qiuling, then asked: "Where is my dad?"

 “Go to the police station.”

 “What are you going to do at the police station?”

Lu Yuan was shuddered subconsciously, but he heard Zheng Qiuling say: "It's a good thing.

The last time your dad called the police, he helped the police provide clues and solved a big case.

　　I said the city is going to give your dad an award! "

There is such a thing.

Lu Yuan blinked and suddenly thought of something.     But cannot confirm.

Lu Yuan talked with his mother for a while. A customer came to buy cigarettes, so he picked up his backpack and prepared to go upstairs.

He plans to return the dismantled surveillance cameras at a discounted price later.

 If you can’t return it, sell it second-hand.

 It is estimated that it will not be used in the future.

Just as I was thinking about it, the cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.

　　is the sound of someone initiating a video call to him.

 Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone to check.

 When he saw the name of the incoming call contact clearly displayed on the screen, he was slightly startled.

 Sister Lu Jing?

 Bedroom.

The blinds are slightly closed, and the air conditioner at the bedside is blowing cold air, bringing a refreshing feeling.

Lu Yuan was sitting at his desk, holding his mobile phone in his right hand and looking at the screen intently.

 The connected video showed Lu Jing’s face.

"sky!"

Lu Jing, who was tightly wrapped in a dark green hunting jacket, opened her eyes wide and let out an exaggerated exclamation.

“Xiaoyuan, why did you become like this?

"

Lu Yuan snorted, moved the phone slightly up to cover his strong and well-developed chest muscles, and said angrily: "What does it mean to be fat? What I call strong!

Don’t talk about me first, haven’t you become inhumane too? "

As usual, what follows should be a dialogue between siblings.

To Lu Yuan’s surprise, Lu Jing’s face froze after hearing this.

He didn't say a word, and his whole body suddenly became quiet.

 “What’s wrong? Sister.”

Lu Yuan noticed the sudden change in Lu Jing's mood and couldn't help but ask.

"nothing."

Lu Jing shook her head and answered softly, almost covered by the sound of wind and sand around her.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

 In fact, when the video was connected, he just wanted to say that he just endured it.

 Compared with the last video, Lu Jing has changed a lot.

The whole person looks dark and thin, with yellow hair, a haggard face, and no luster on his skin.

 It’s like someone who hasn’t slept for several days or nights.

There was an indescribable panic in their expressions, and the slightest movement would make them jump like rabbits.

 Lu Jing’s condition is very bad!

 “The road is quiet.”

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and called Lu Jing's full name in a deep voice.

 “What on earth happened, tell me.”

 “It’s really nothing, Xiaoyuan.”

 Lu Jing smiled, and it was obvious that she wanted to act normal in front of Lu Yuan.

Her eyes were always glancing around unconsciously, as if she was wary of something.

 The screen of the mobile phone is only as big as a palm, and Lu Jing cannot see the scene around her from a distance.

You can only pay attention to some scenes revealed behind her—

　　It looks like a board with various photos posted on it, as well as some scrawled words with unknown meanings.

Lu Yuan was watching when he suddenly heard Lu Jing say: "I'll be back in a while."

"Um?!"

Lu Yuan was startled, and his eyes fell back on Lu Jing.

“Didn’t you say that this project will take a long time, at least half a year, or even a year?”

“It ended early, and there was only a little finishing work left to do.

The professor in the project team saw that I was a girl, so he let us come back early.”

 Lu Jing pretended to be relaxed, her eyes flashing all the time.

Lu Yuan thought for a while and asked: "What happened to the dead people under the temple you mentioned last time? I want to know."

 “I can’t tell you this.”

Lu Jing shook her head, "This is a project secret, and you must not tell it to others."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown, but quickly calmed down.

 Ask calmly: “When will you come back specifically?”

“Next month. I’ll be with a few friends then. Just remember to pick me up at the airport.”

"good."

Lu Yuan nodded and wanted to ask something more.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" sound came from the phone screen.

The screen went black instantly, as if the phone had fallen over.

Humbling sounds like someone screaming could be heard faintly coming from a distance.

“Lu Jing! Lu Jing! Are you there?!”

Lu Yuan grabbed the phone and quickly stood up from the table, his whole body suddenly became nervous.

　　Don’t let that kind of **** plot happen to me!

The anxious Lu Yuan could not suppress the surge of emotions in his heart, and punched the wall with a bang. A small crater was made on the wall in front of the desk, and the white wall surface fell down.

 “Xiaoyuan!”

Grandpa Lu Yueping’s questioning voice came from outside the house.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to grab the anime poster posted on the wall, and pulled it off with a "swish" to cover the small hole he made.

 “It’s okay, Grandpa, the chair turned over.”

Lu Yuan replied calmly.

 “Oh, be careful.”

The footsteps approaching the bedroom door turned around and faded away again.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and picked up his phone.

The eyes instantly relaxed.

fine.

 Lu Jing’s figure appeared on the screen again.

At this moment, she seemed to be standing up, leaning against the wooden board behind her. The photos and words on the wooden board were clearly visible to Lu Yuan's sight.

“It’s okay, it’s just that a pit suddenly collapsed, which shocked everyone.

 Fortunately, there were no casualties.”

Lu Jing and Lu Yuan were explaining and seemed to remain calm.

Lu Yuan saw that her lips were bitten until they turned white.

“Okay, okay, I won’t tell you anymore. I still have work here, so I’ll hang up first.”

Before Lu Yuan could ask, "Would you like to video chat with grandpa for a while?", the call on Lu Jing's side was hung up.

The air conditioner was humming, and the small room fell into an inexplicable silence.

Lu Yuan stared at Lu Jing’s chat profile picture on the phone screen for a while without saying anything.

 Suddenly.

 He put down his cell phone and sat down again at the table.

 Then turn on your computer and do a quick search on the Internet.

 Occasionally, I will reach out and take out the book at hand to read.

 Thinking, meditating, taking screenshots, writing and drawing

 Twenty minutes later.

 All the work in Lu Yuan's hands stopped.

His eyes fell on the notes spread out in front of him.

 On the clean and flat paper, a pure black sketch outlines a strange elephant-shaped pattern.

 Under this pattern, there is a line of strange scrawled text.

 Under the text is written the free translation of Lu Yuan’s neat handwriting—

“The eternally cracked black earth, He will use blood to cover every stone in the Magic Mountain.”

These symbols and words.

　　This is the secret that Lu Yuan just glimpsed behind Lu Jing's back.

The fourth update, the total number of updated words is almost 18,000.

I haven’t slept much since last night. Let me adjust it for two days and then determine the time for regular updates every day.

Finally, please give me a monthly pass and a full subscription! (Bang bang bang!)
