Zhusha's proposal was rejected by Zhenjin, and the priest's voice suddenly became serious: "Templar, you have to think about the overall situation."
Zhen Jin's eyes were firm: "I would rather think about my companions, Father!"
Zhusha snorted coldly, and suddenly a bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air and struck Zi Di.
Zidi had no time to react and watched helplessly as the lightning finally struck at her feet.
After being stunned for a moment, everyone immediately burst into an uproar.
"Father, what are you doing?!"
"Did you control that lightning just now?"
"What on earth do you want to do?!"
"What do I want to do?" Zhusha roared, "I just want to save time! Now is not the time to doubt each other. Send me the artifact quickly! Otherwise, the next lightning strike will not be so casual."
"Xiong Dun, Chai Zha, how long will you guardian knights continue to linger?"
"Send the artifact up quickly."
"This is an order!"
"Don't worry, they won't stop you. Because we, the Templars, only want to think about our companions."
At the end of the sentence, Zhusha's tone was obviously sarcastic.
Xiong Dun, Chai Zha and others took a step forward and looked at Zhen Jin: "I'm sorry, sir."
Zhenjin gritted his teeth and held a stalemate with several guardian knights for several breaths before finally taking a step back and getting out of the way.
Under the gaze of everyone, the four guardian knights lifted the sapphire gold coffin, brought the mermaid's fairy tale, and climbed to the fourth floor together.
"Lord Zhusha?!" The four guardian knights all had their hearts skipped a beat and looked shocked.
They saw the scab again and found that the priest had changed beyond recognition.
Initially, Chasha was in good health and in the prime of life, but now he is haggard and skinny, with deeply furrowed brows, a distorted expression, and bulging veins on his forehead.
When Zhuosha saw the four of them, he laughed miserably and said in a volume that only the four of them could hear: "Do you think there is no price for occupying this central tower? After all, I am just a silver-level priest, and here
It’s the headquarters of the legendary alchemist!”
Priests, pastors, and devout believers will all receive divine power to a greater or lesser degree because of their faith. Under normal circumstances, Chaosha's body always contains divine power and is continuously nourished by divine power. Over time, Chaosha's physical quality will also be improved.
Especially vision.
However, in order to invade the central tower, all the divine power was not enough when the scab was intact. What's more, during the process of arriving here and in the fierce battle just now, he had repeatedly used magical spells and consumed a lot of divine power.
The divine power was far from enough to invade the central tower, so Zhusha could only use unconventional means.
He squeezed his own vitality and overdrawn his potential for future advancement, and then he burst out with extraordinary divine power.
"Lord Chaosha..." Several guardian knights were shocked, and their voices were choked with sobs. They knew very well how huge Chaosha's sacrifice was.
"It doesn't matter." Zhusha smiled, "As long as we enshrine these two artifacts and inform the higher-ups about the situation here, the credit and rewards we get will far exceed our efforts. When the time comes, I will even It is possible to become a red archbishop. And you are no longer just knights responsible for protecting priests."
"Sir, when can we leave here?"
"We are almost successful. The tower spirit has been severely damaged and is retreating. We will be able to open the portal soon." When Zhusha said this, his eyes flashed, and he was very confident about this.
Ouch!
A monkey-tailed brown bear attempts to rush to the third floor.
The huge white-bone feathered deer was stuck at the entrance of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, but man-made monsters like the monkey-tailed brown bear were not in this category.
Zonge wielded the bone hammer and drove back the monkey-tailed brown bear.
The monkey-tailed brown bear was quickly bitten by the crocodile-headed hammertail boas behind it, dragged it down, and began to devour it.
Several bat monkeys joined forces and were about to rush over, when they were sprayed by several jets of acid and fell down one after another.
The green lizard that sprayed acid was quickly trampled by the powerful white rhinoceros that came over from the spear scorpion group, and fled in panic.
There is chaos in the second level, lacking the unified guidance of scent, and these man-made monsters kill each other.
The pressure on the survivors stationed on the third floor dropped sharply.
However, the irony is that Zong Ge thought that it would be better if the pressure was greater.
"The situation is not good, Zhenjin. Zhusha is controlling the central tower. The key is, we don't know what his current progress is!" Zong Ge took advantage of the gap and said to Zhenjin.
Zhen Jin frowned, with a troubled look on his face, and sighed deeply: "What else can we do? We don't have divine power, and the only one who can invade the center is Chu Sha."
"He also controls lightning..."
"Don't worry, he is the priest of the Shengming Emperor after all, and magic cannot be faked."
Zong Ge couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhen Jin's response, and then his mood became even worse.
The half-orc's heart sank, and he suddenly understood: "It's not good. Zhenjin is brave and fair, but too merciful. This is his strength and his weakness. Now Zhusha has seen through it and is holding on tightly. Zhenjin He wants to protect others, especially his fiancée here. He is too young!"
"Another point is that Zhen Jin is a Templar and Zhu Sha is Father Shengming. The two have the closest relationship. Therefore, even though the priest deliberately threatened Zhen Jin with lightning, Zhen Jin still believed that the priest would never harm him."
The Templars are an armed force directly affiliated with Emperor Shengming. Priests, priests, etc. are also civil servants directly affiliated with Emperor Shengming. The two are in the same system and have the same belief.
If the two fight against each other, the gods will definitely be dissatisfied. If Zhenjin attacks Zhusha, if the circumstances are serious, he will be deprived of his Templar status and will be wanted. On the other hand, if Zhusha is unfavorable to Zhenjin, the church will Their status will be reduced or completely reduced to zero, and they may even be defined as traitors.
Therefore, Zhusha's lightning did not strike at Zhenjin, but chose Zidi.
But it didn't actually hit Zidi, it was just a warning.
Zong Ge's eyes were filled with gloom, and he analyzed the situation secretly: "The current situation is not good. Only Zhusha can invade the center. Now he has been acting for a long time, controlling most of the center tower, and can activate lightning, firmly occupying it.
initiative."
"I have no way of judging how much of what he said is true or false. I'm afraid there is a danger of the mana pool drying up. But it's also very possible that he has been able to open the portal."
"It's really too bad that these two artifacts were sent up. We lost an important bargaining chip to contain the scab."
"But if we don't send it, we might be struck to death by lightning!"
"Listening to his words, this priest is full of credit and credit. Obviously, in his heart, artifacts are more important than people!"
"Zhen Jin is a Templar, so he won't have such worries. But our identities will not be taken seriously by Zhu Sha. In this case, we will be very dangerous."
"And now, the only things that can make Chaosha worry are these man-made monsters in front of him."
"Damn it!"
"I used to wish that these man-made monsters would die, but now I need them to show a stronger offensive to ensure my own safety?"
"How ironic!"
Zong Ge is a tough guy who understands well the principle of kindness not commanding troops, and he also understands the benefits of raising an enemy with self-respect.
He was both disappointed and understanding about Zhenjin. After all, Zidi was the young knight's fiancée.
"What should I do? It's such a headache."
Zong Ge is not good at dealing with this kind of thing. Although his father is in a high position, as an illegitimate son, he only received martial arts instruction in his childhood and was not nurtured in strategy.
Otherwise, he would not have had the most outstanding record after joining the army, but still be squeezed out by his colleagues.
To a greater or lesser extent, other people have had the same idea as Zonge. Read
The threat of Zhusha and the lightning that fell at Zidi's feet made everyone feel chilled and confused. When they saw Zhenjin, they were driven beyond belief, and everyone's morale quickly declined.
Therefore, although the monsters killed each other, under the attack of monsters from time to time, the survivors' defense line was obviously unstable, and there was a frightening wavering.
"Hold it!" Zhusha saw this situation keenly. In fact, he was already prepared.
He then shouted loudly: "As long as we survive the final difficulty, we will all be rescued!"
"The credit you have now is enough for you to start over."
"Zhen Jin, don't forget, I am your assessor. As I said before, our current achievements are by no means just a mere title of Lord of Baisha City."
"Muban, you stole a large number of crossbow blueprints from the guild. With this credit, you can return to the guild and even become the branch president!"
"Cangxu, you may not know that the civil strife in the Shatta family has subsided. Although you were betrayed by your son, he has been implicated and imprisoned because of the same faction. The Shatta family is bringing things back to order. You have this credit, If you have my guarantee in the future, the Shatta family will cancel the wanted order against you, admit your mistakes, and you can go back to being a scholar."
"Zidi, your Wisteria Chamber of Commerce and the Zhenjin Family are in alliance, but you are still in trouble. After this battle, I will bridge the gap for you and let part of the Shengming Parish become your trading partners. You should understand that this is very important to the Chamber of Commerce. How important it is."
"Sandao, you do value integrity. But because of your integrity, your mercenary group does a lot of dirty work, right? Although it has been disbanded, I can find a position for you people to settle down, such as a guard in a certain city. If you can truly believe in the Holy Emperor, I can even lead you into the Order of Guardian Knights!"
"Zong Ge... I know your identity. You are an illegitimate child. You want to make a great contribution. You want to go back with your head held high and take back everything that belongs to you. Then you should seize this opportunity now, right? "
…
Zhusha's words once again moved the survivors.
He actually knew the survivors very well, and his understanding was so profound that he seemed to understand everyone's thoughts and demands.
He clearly remembered the name of every survivor, and he did not miss anyone in these words, even ordinary people like Bai Ya.
This is an excellent quality for a preacher!
He promised Bai Ya that as long as he cooperates with him, he will be able to become a knight in the future if he shares the credit!
"Father, I...believe you!" Bai Ya showed a look of yearning.
The morale of the people no longer dropped, and the front line became more stable.
What's more important is that Zhusha takes too much initiative, and everyone has no way to counter him, they can only choose to believe.
However, in the fourth layer.
After Zhusha made an encouraging speech, he snorted coldly, with disgust and disdain on his face: "A bunch of scum deserve to share this credit with us! Let you die here and atone for your own sins."
"Father?"
"There are Templars here."
"We are all in the same boat. After all, we have come all the way and supported each other..."
Several guardian knights showed unbearable expressions.
Zhusha snorted coldly: "Of course I will save the Templars!"
"But I can't take the others with me."
"The more I occupy the central tower, the more information I get. Judging from the records of war dealers' teleportation in the past, with the current mana, it is already very difficult to teleport away two artifacts. I can only take away a few people."
"Do you want companionship? Or do you want credit?"
Zhusha's eyes were sharp and he glanced around. The guardian knights all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the priest.
Zhusha smiled proudly, but at this moment, another golden monster rushed over.
It's not that big, but it's actually a gold-level bat monkey!
Everyone is outnumbered and the front line is about to collapse.
"Damn it, I still have to untie the magic circle on the third floor and take out that strange blood ball." Chasha was anxious and shouted to the next floor, "Zhenjin! Go up quickly and use all your strength.
"
"I know your concerns, it doesn't matter!"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will purify everything for you."
Zhen Jin's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, he was already in the state of "God's Knight". What Zhu Sha meant was undoubtedly to completely transform Zhen Jin.
He seems to have understood the biggest secret of needle gold!
Zhenjin hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and charged.
But the direction of his charge was not the Golden Bat Monkey, but the fourth level of the ladder.
"Stop!"
"Zhenjin, what do you want to do?"
"If you don't stop, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
Zhen Jin turned a deaf ear and drove faster and faster.
Everyone was shocked, not expecting Zhen Jin to be so reckless.
Then the next moment, everyone was even more shocked.
Several bolts of lightning struck in succession, striking the needle gold and killing the young knight on the spot.
"No!" After being stunned for a moment, Zidi immediately let out a shrill scream and ran towards Zhen Jin's body, but was grabbed by Heijuan beside her.
"It's too dangerous!" Heijuan shouted, "President Zidi, please calm down."
"Dad!!!" the big man roared, reacted and rushed towards Zhen Jin's body.
The big man ran with all his strength and fell to his knees, ignoring the violent friction of his knees on the floor tiles.
He carefully turned over Zhen Jin's body. The surface of Zhen Jin was dark and lifeless.
"Dad, dad, wake up, wake up..." The big man's eyes were red and tears were pouring out.
But it's clear that Zhenjin is dead.
Everyone felt that his life breath was completely gone.
After all, in this forbidden environment, how can the human body withstand the attack of lightning? Even those man-made monsters collapsed under the lightning.
"No, that's not true."
"Master Zhenjin...is dead?!"
"Is Zhusha crazy? He actually killed the Templars! Even if he has great achievements, he can't stand up based on this alone!"
While Zong Ge and others struggled to resist the golden bat monkey and were defeated step by step, they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
"Murderer! Murderer! The murderer of dad, I want to kill you!!" The big man roared, with a ferocious look on his face, and rushed towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
"Don't go!!" Zidi screamed.
But it's too late.
The next moment, there were several more lightning bolts in succession, knocking the big man to the ground, twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, and unable to move.
