Anyway, we are about to arrive near the royal city, and we will naturally see the blood corpse by then, and find out what kind of monster it is.
...
As the route went deeper, Lin An chose to restrain his aura after arresting several humans who looked like officials.
There is no other reason.
In the cities and fortresses along the road, there are more and more auras representing ascetics.
The coercion exuded by many of them made him wary.
Even when passing by a fortress, he saw two ascetic monks flying in the air, carrying a giant human face statue as they flew past with expressionless faces.
The stone statue is thirty to forty meters high, and its carved appearance is somewhat similar to that of Buddha.
Unless you look carefully, the stone statue is not a common Buddha statue in the real world.
Lin An even thought that Buddhism or Vajrayana was believed in here.
Being able to carry an object of such weight and fly really surprised him.
If it were Lin An himself, he might be able to control the movement of a colossus of an average size with his telekinesis, but he would definitely not be able to fly with it in the air.
Judging from the ability of ascetics alone, it is no less than those who have awakened to the third level of spiritual power.
therefore.
He simply used a mechanical compass to dress himself and Xiong Hanzi up as ascetics in this world.
I just don’t know if I can hide it from the ascetics of this world just by relying on the disguise provided by the compass.
From the captured officials, Lin An also learned information about some of the ascetics.
Human beings in this world seem to be obsessed with becoming ascetics.
Like the machine-like ascetics he had seen before, their methods of cultivation were relatively common.
They will organize and plan the route before setting off, and then prepare a corresponding set of rituals for themselves.
Once the route and ceremony are determined, nothing will be changed under any circumstances.
If it changes, it means that there is no hope of becoming an ascetic in this life.
That's why.
If you make the wrong "plan" and route when you start practicing, it means death.
According to the officials who were questioned.
Lin An also knew a saying.
For the people of this world who want to be ascetics.
Even if you die on the road of "eternity", you can still be eternal.
give up halfway.
It is equivalent to eternal depravity.
...
"It's so damn evil..."
Xiong Hanzi held a straw in his mouth and scratched his head.
Looking at the towering city walls in the distance, I couldn't help but feel a little wary.
After observing and capturing humans for questioning during this period, he and Lin An already knew a lot of things.
This is already the front line of the war, and a large number of ascetics have gathered in each fortress to guard it.
The fortress in front of us is the best example.
...
Next to the abandoned inn, Lin An closed his eyes and meditated, adjusting his condition to the best.
It is only an hour away from the Royal City.
Here, he could already see the giant city wall that was more than 100 meters tall and towered like a tower.
On the wall, heads swayed like ants.
From time to time, the soldiers guarding the city would put down the hanging tower, which was like a simple pulley device, and take turns with the ground troops.
That is the war fortress closest to the royal city.
The surrounding city walls were covered with dried blood scabs, dyeing the blue-gray masonry black red.
uncanny workmanship.
Such a transcendent creation was built entirely by human effort and ascetics.
He saw no less than dozens of cities like this.
This kind of amount of work would be long and difficult in the real world using large equipment.
It looks like.
The original plan needs to be changed.
In order to explore the secrets of this world and complete the mission, Lin An planned to copy the methods of the amoeba copy.
Violently control the upper levels, gather all human forces to obtain intelligence, and complete the mission.
Simple, crude and efficient.
But now it seems that we can only find a way to sneak in first.
He hasn't fought against the Ascetics yet, but Lin An is already wary of the combat power of this world.
"Captain Lin, can't we just sneak in?"
"I see a lot of people coming into the city."
After swallowing seven or eight individual soldier rations, Xiong Hanzi smashed his mouth with regret and couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't we already dressed as ascetics?"
"Damn, he's dressed like a beggar..."
He took a look at himself and saw the full set of blue armor that he had stripped off Lin An's "corpse".
At this time, he had changed into a linen robe under the cover of the mechanical compass.
Some resentment.
After adjusting to the best condition, Lin An slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly:
"Yes, yes, but we still need to capture a few caravans."
"You may not have noticed."
"When approaching these fortresses, the conditions for entering the city are much stricter."
"It looks like there are many ascetics among the soldiers guarding the city who are responsible for the inspection."
"They will take a booklet and verify the information."
"Go in directly and you won't be able to answer the questions. It's likely to cause unnecessary trouble."
Sensing the atmosphere in the nearest fortress, Lin An couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
Be discovered, or break in.
I'm afraid the trouble will be great.
Somewhat strange.
Obviously the productivity here is not developed.
But from this detail, he saw the Great Xia Dynasty's ability to control everyone.
Under normal circumstances, ancient dynasties did not have such conditions.
The royal power does not go to the countryside. This is a true reflection of the ancient dynasty.
And here, the Daxia Dynasty seemed to know everyone's identity information very well.
Where you come from, where you go, career age.
The degree of belief is no less than that of modern society with scientific and technological management methods.
Regarding this abnormality, Lin An could only acquiesce that it was caused by the ascetic's ability.
I have never had formal contact with ascetics.
For a while, Lin An preferred to be more cautious.
It's not that I don't want to fight the ascetics in advance and make some preparations.
But along the way, he never saw any ascetics in the wild.
These special beings are almost all in cities, gathering in groups at every turn.
After hearing this, Zhang Tie scratched his head and spit out the straw in his mouth:
"Okay then, should we wait for a caravan and blend in among them?"
"But Team Lin, the closer this is to the front line of the fortress they call it, the fewer caravans there will be."
"Can't you pretend to be an ascetic and sneak in?"
"When I look at a group of crazy people, I won't say a word at all."
"Let's just hang behind their backs and pretend to be fellow ascetics. I don't think they will say anything to expose us..."
Lin An shook his head after hearing this.
Zhang Tie's approach was too risky.
It is obvious that these ascetic monks behave like robots on the road of "cultivation" and are indifferent to external affairs.
But their goal is these fortresses and royal cities.
After arriving at the place, these people will most likely get out of this state.
"Wait a minute."
"We really can't sneak in like this anymore."
"Although there are few caravans, there are still supply caravans."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin An's eyes suddenly flashed with silver.
Almost at the same time, Xiong Hanzi suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.
...
"boom!!"
Flames exploded into the sky.
Looking at the small orange-red explosive cloud, Lin An was stunned on the spot.
A piece of shrapnel shot at high speed scattered in the air and disintegrated.
The fragments and ring-shaped shock waves produced by the explosion were clearly the effects of missiles.
Cannonball explosion?
In an instant, he remembered the system prompt when entering the secret realm.
[Deathmatch mission, detect other players entering the secret realm.]
Did this explosion come from a player who also entered the secret realm?
A player on the other side had a conflict with the fortress army!?
"Walk!"
“Go and have a look!!”
Without hesitation, Lin An glared sharply and led Xiong Hanzi directly to the source of the explosion.
However.
Just the next second.
A roar came from the troops leaving the fortress.
"Enemy attack!"
"It's the blood corpse sneaking in!"
"Disperse the enemies in columns!! Avoid the attacks of blood corpses"
