Sang Qi didn't know how the priest Wu Zhu discussed it with several elders. He only knew that the sacrifice was quickly determined, and the auspicious day of the zodiac derived from the priest's divination was set in three days.
"It's so hasty." Chen Shen frowned and muttered to himself.
Sang Qi had no objection. She raised her finger and pointed at the jar of poisonous insects placed on the table by Chen Shen, signaling Chen Shen to take a closer look.
After tying up the Great Elder, Chen Shen has officially separated from the Great Elder. However, as the player who was chosen by the Great Elder in the first place, he has to continue to carry this Gu insect with him.
One of the player's tasks.
Chen Shen frowned, he didn't like this Gu insect. To be honest, who would like something that sucks their own life force to survive?
But he trusted Sang Qi, so he looked into the jar.
Afterwards, Chen Shen looked surprised.
The first Gu worm I got was a very small white worm. It was like countless ordinary bugs out there. It slowly turned darker and redder in color after sucking blood. But at this time, this Gu worm was
Lying at the bottom of the jar, something like cracks appeared on the surface of its body.
Like an ugliest scar, the Gu worm trembled and shook its body in place, as if something was about to break out of the ground.
"This..." Chen Shen's eyes widened: "Isn't it going to turn into a butterfly?"
This thing just looks like a caterpillar at first, but it turns out it can shed its skin?
Sang Qi raised his head and said, "Have you ever seen a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly without first spinning silk into a cocoon? This thing seems to be shedding its skin like a snake."
Chen Shen's expression was solemn: "It has mutated."
"If I remember correctly, it started molting in the morning, but even the cracks haven't completely come out yet." Sang Qi thought: "According to my speculation, I think it will probably molt successfully on the day of the sacrifice."
The young man's expression froze.
He lowered his eyes silently and looked at the Gu, and said in a cryptic voice: "The progress of feeding Gu worms among the players who have survived until now is very different. On the day of the sacrifice, I don't know what these things will molt into, and whether they will be as complete as butterflies."
Mutations--"
He suddenly remembered the question he had asked the goddess before, and Chen Shen looked indescribably irritable.
In the end, will these Gu insects eat their hosts?
Sang Qi glanced at him and smiled: "So, we must find out what happened before as soon as possible and solve the incident. After all, the main task is to survive."
"Ah, yes, speaking of this, that system only allows us to survive, but there is no set time limit." Chen Shen raised his hand and gestured: "This is completely different from the novels I have read, and the progress in the middle has never been broadcast.
, such as special props or exploration speed or something?"
Sang Qi spread his hands: "Maybe this is a hands-off shopkeeper."
…
…
Every player has different thoughts.
Almost all the players who are still alive on the third elder's side have gathered under Chen Haoran. He understands the whole process and has clues that other players don't know. He is the best choice if you just want to hold on to him.
Chen Haoran held the clues and expressed his loyalty to the goddess, saying that he would stand on her side no matter what.
According to the experience of other players who have played this dungeon in the past, the goddess is almost an unrivaled existence in the dungeon, and all the elders in the village are just mortals in front of her.
So Chen Haoran couldn't understand how that girl dared to disobey the goddess that day. The strangest thing was that she actually escaped without a trace.
Zhou Xu came back from the outside in disgrace and reported to Chen Haoran about the sacrifice. There was a large fence surrounding the outside and he couldn't get in. He could only see from a distance what seemed to be a very high platform.
"...There seems to be some friction between the three elders. They didn't even say anything to each other." Zhou Xu said.
Chen Haoran rolled his eyes impatiently: "I can't see this, so you still have to tell me?"
Zhou Xu smiled awkwardly and did not dare to refute.
Now, he can only suppress his shame in order to survive.
The girl on the side came over. She glanced at Zhou Xu and saw that it was his girlfriend Xiaohan.
Xiaohan didn't say anything. He just walked to Chen Haoran and squeezed his shoulders. He whispered softly: "Don't be angry. There are only a few days left for the sacrifice. Didn't you say that the sacrifice is very time-consuming and laborious, and there are so many casualties?"
?”
Xiaohan is a typical gentle girl, she is never angry and speaks softly at all times. Chen Haoran was also attracted by her temperament at first.
Chen Haoran snorted: "Okay, come here, I'll tell you something."
Other players gathered around.
"The magnetic field in the village will change during sacrifices, and the voodoo insects have also reached their final maturity stage. Affected by the magnetic field, the voodoo insects may break away from the owner's control and attack people around them, or even bite the owner." Chen Haoran said: "So, if
Any Gu insect with black and red cracks on its body must be handed over to me, do you understand?"
"Brother Chen, if there are no poisonous insects, they will be eaten as food by the poisonous poisonous insects around them..." Someone raised his hand weakly.
These Gu are so weird that some people wanted to throw them away before, but this Gu is not only a restraint for them, but also a layer of protection. Without the Gu, the aura on the body is delicious food for other Gu.
Being bitten by ten thousand poisons until even a skeleton is left is a scene that no one wants to experience personally.
"What are you afraid of? We have already said that the magnetic field will change, and it will be the same whether there is Gu or not." Chen Haoran waved his hand, not wanting to say any more.
The others dispersed, not daring to offend him.
Chen Haoran rubbed his eyes. He naturally had his own selfish motives. For example, he never told anyone.
There is also the most important clue.
In this copy, the magnetic field during the sacrifice will attract thousands of Gus to fight, and there is a Gu with black and red cracks on its body, which will be the final winner, and it will devour the other Gus.
If you get this, you will get a precious item that can be taken out of the dungeon.
Chen Haoran looked at his voodoo jar with gloomy eyes. His voodoo did not have such characteristics, so he had to find a way to steal it from others.
Fortunately, these idiots didn't dare to disobey him.
…
…
Three days passed very quickly.
Sang Qi has not seen the priest much in the past few days. He seems to be very busy and stays at the sacrificial venue all day long.
The venue is surrounded and no one else can enter.
Occasionally, Wu Zhu would come back to the yard in the dark night. When Sang Qi asked him casually, he shook his head slightly.
He just raised his hand to rub the girl's head and said hoarsely: "Go and drink medicine."
No more clues could be obtained, so Sang Qi settled down and waited patiently for the sacrifice to come.
She read the diary and the encyclopedia many times, and was very interested in the "outsiders" mentioned by the former great elder in the diary.
