Chapter 1415 Fifty Seven. The Fire of Meishan Town
Chapter 1415 Fifty-seven. Fire in Meishan Town
As if a strange fog has not dispersed, the thick fog shrouded Meishan Town, painted orange by the firelight.
"We have too much time to take care of ourselves, and the coal mountains are burning."
The dark Eight-Handed Cultist said to the arriving Lu Li.
The smog is the smoke caused by burning coal mountains. It is pungent and highly toxic, and almost no one can be seen on the streets.
"Snowflakes" like goose feathers fell from the sky, and only when they were crushed away did they reveal their gray-black reality.
"Where is the patron saint of Meishan Town?"
After the Land of Light got on the right track, the evil gods were subdivided into alien gods, evil gods and guardian gods.
The dark-skinned cultist resembles Ophelia and a miner who has lived underground for months and whispers bitterly: "He can do nothing but protect us from being buried in the sea of fire..."
"The Land of Light will help you put out the fire in Meishan Town."
Faced with Lu Li's promise, the oracle of the patron saint of Meishan Town spoke in the mouth of the believers: If Lu Li was in danger of destroying Meishan Town, they would help the Land of Light fight against the swamp.
Swamp Mother rejected this exchange on behalf of Lu Li: She hoped that "the Land of Light will solve the crisis for Meishan Town, and Meishan Town will contribute to the world", rather than a simple exchange: "The Land of Light will help Meishan Town, and Meishan Town must help
return."
Lu Li sent the news back to the Land of Light. The Twisted Shadow needed to be in charge, so the priests and believers under his command went to Meishan Town.
It is an eternal truth that pagans are against pagans - but there are exceptions in the Land of Light, especially since they are here to save Coal Mountain Town.
During the break where the believers gathered, Lu Li left the town to investigate the burning situation. The believers in Meishan Town were not lying. The patron saint could only protect the surrounding areas of the town. The land a little further away shone with a dark red color like purgatory, and there were collapses and rising depressions everywhere.
Poisonous smoke, as if the world is burning.
The open-pit coal mine where Meishan Station is located is full of criticism... If there is a dispute with the enemy, they don't even need to attack, they just need to light the coal mountain, like now.
Lu Li returned to Meishan Town and found that the Twisted Cultist had brought the God of the Deep Sea - He was swimming in the fish tank, spinning against the wall of the tank as Lu Li arrived.
No one realizes that this ornamental fish-like life was once the pinnacle of this world——
"Why did you bring Him here?"
"My Lord believes that the God of the Deep Sea needs to grow, and he will help us eliminate the fire faster."
The God of the Deep Sea is like a spring, and his existence will make it easier for believers to brew sea water.
About two hundred Twisted Cultists gathered, and their singing took over Meishan Town. However, neither the local residents nor the believers objected to this heretical prayer - because the "snowflakes" melted and black rain fell from the sky.
The townspeople pushed open the windows, and then the dark rain shrank behind the windows, and then there was the sound of coughing and spitting.
Rainwater is salty.
The ground on the street became moist, but the rainwater outside Meishan Town evaporated instantly and could not even fall to the ground.
The pattering of rain gradually intensified.
The water will fall deeper and deeper until the burning coal mountain is completely doused.
Lu Li asked the believers in Meishan Town to go to the church to pray and gather strength for the patron saint, because Meishan Town would have to face a terrifying heat wave next, and then let the Land of Light bring in a group of demons.
The torrential rain came in a blink of an eye. The ash that fell slowly after being washed away returned to the original color of the sea water, gathered along the ditch, and turned into a rushing stream toward the outside of Meishan Town.
The wet area slowly spreads outward along Meishan Town and underground, and the seawater evaporates to form a purgatory steamer that covers the town and steams flesh and blood in an instant.
But it's just right for the devils in hell.
Lu Li asked them to search for the hot burning earth veins based on the instinct of hellish life, and let the twisted cultists extinguish them along the traces - the dark fire underground can destroy Meishan Town more than the flames on the surface.
The heavy rain that fell only in Meishan Town continued with no sign of stopping. The deep rain curtain replaced the smoke, and as they seeped into the ground, they burst the flames and formed steam to reassemble the rain clouds, forming a continuous virtuous cycle.
Lu Li is no longer needed here for the time being.
With the assurance from the cultists that they would go to Midnight City, Lu Li left Meishan Town and came to Storm Point.
The coldness that was completely opposite to the sultry heat took away the sweltering heat. Lu Li stepped onto the pontoon bridge behind the high tide and came to the core church of Storm Point, where he found the believers who looked embarrassed.
They couldn't help Lu Li.
There is neither a crisis nor a shortage of manpower in Storm Point, but it simply cannot help - Midnight City is inland and there is no vast lake for them to set off storms.
However, because of Lu Li's arrival, Storm Point decided to let the priest lead some believers to Midnight City to help.
Before Lu Li left Storm Cape and headed to the next location, businessman Anthony brought news from Midnight City: "We already know what happened in Meishan Town. Some of the believers have come... Finally, there is good news."
"What's the bad news?"
"Many. For example, the successive disasters frightened the monsters, and they fled after we arrived. Claire and the others said that the World Tree was leaning... The swamp may have started to take action. For example, New Leaf Town just rejected us."
"The devil's contract is not enough?"
The Mentalist Demon is still in Midnight City, so there should be no shortage of contracts.
"The rope should only be put around the neck of a sheep or horse."
The devil's contract cannot bind those powerful monsters. The reins are always around the necks of slaves and beasts, not allies.
But Swamp Mother says they are starting to get into contact with the real weirdness that can affect the outcome. Such as the Dark Park, the Flesh Nest, the Lake Vortex, the Tilted Spire, and the power of the old sewers.
"Has Girls' Grace Church agreed to support?" Lu Li thought of them.
"I was about to tell you that we suddenly couldn't contact them..."
Lu Li wrote down the question and continued to ask: "What's going on in Xinye Town?"
"I don't know. Xinye Town just rejected us and didn't tell us the reason."
"I'm in Cape Storm. Now I'm going to New Leaf Town. After contacting these allies, I will go back to the old sewers to find the Church of Maiden's Grace."
"Good luck."
…
New Leaf Town is not an ally in the strict sense. Although it maintains trade relations with the Land of Light, it is still far from an ally.
A simple assumption: if the Land of Light is invaded, Newleaf Town will not help. And vice versa.
Moreover, the Patron Saint of New Leaf Town has some prejudices - he believes that the Land of Light is invading Midnight City and is not protecting the world, and he cannot realize the dangers of the swamp -
No matter humans or gods, they cannot imagine the existence beyond common sense.
"The swamp awakened and hunted down the Ghoul King, who will then invade the Midnight City."
So when Lu Li confided his crisis to the local gods, he didn't care what happened in the distant dark wilderness - it was too far away from them, and -
"I can't believe you..."
The spirit possessing the sacrificial spirit answered Lu Li.
Lu Li was not surprised by this and calmly narrated:
"My cursed title is 'The Dreamer', and dreams will tell you what is happening in Midnight City."
