After the spacecraft disappeared out of thin air from the bottom of the Blood Lake, it caused a large-scale cavity backflow. Tons of lake water and hundreds of meters of water pressure hit the bottom of the lake hard, causing a large-scale shock. This time
The noise must have spread outside, but anyway, the little green people and the spaceship have left, so Hao Ren doesn't have to worry about any further trouble - at most, it will leave an unsolved mystery in the hearts of the locals, anyway, the Blood Lake is
The most indispensable thing is unsolved mysteries.
Nangong Wuyue helped everyone withstand the impact of the lake water pouring back. At this time, the people swimming in front of the team were all swimming. Hao Ren watched the siren girl swim like a half-dead fish and subconsciously turned her belly to float upward.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Is this okay with you?"
Nangong Wuyue slanted his body to clear the way in front, and said harshly: "It's okay! I'm just a little dizzy! Don't underestimate the sea monster's ability to survive in the water..."
Vivian looked at Nangong Wuyue unbearably: "...But you are so upset..."
Nangong Wuyue tried his best to straighten his body, but then shook his head without success: "Occasionally, you can discover a lot by looking at the world from a different angle..."
When Doudou saw this situation, he happily followed Nangong Wuyue, and also learned to float belly up. Hao Ren quickly grabbed the little guy's tail and pulled her back: "Learn something better! This posture is not good.
auspicious!"
Nangong Wuyue became dizzy after being shocked by the water pouring in from the lake. In order to maintain balance, she turned into a mermaid form (although she didn't seem to have much balance). At this time, she suddenly turned her head and looked at her tail, and started to get entangled again: "...you are talking about me.
Is there a thorn or not..."
Hao Ren felt like he was sweating while soaking in the water: "How long have you been struggling with this problem?"
When everyone got ashore, four ascetics who had been waiting for a long time came up to them. They still looked as straight-faced and expressionless as before. Hao Ren estimated that even if the four Vajras encountered the end of the world, as long as the end of the world was not their goddess
They were so excited and worked hard that they could remain dumbfounded like zombies. The bearded man came to Hao Ren: "Have those green creatures left?"
"Don't mention the green creatures. We are also human beings, called Campbells - we are even called meat people in the eyes of some incorporeal aliens." Hao Ren was so righteous at this time that he completely forgot about him.
Kabbalah was always referred to as a little green man thing, "The spaceship has already sent off, and the last movement was really loud, which was a bit of a miscalculation... But don't worry, there was no accident other than the louder sound."
The young female ascetic among the four (it’s okay to call her a nun, right?) then asked: “You didn’t see anything strange at the bottom of the lake, did you?”
"No," Lily replied smoothly as she was playing with two black stones picked up from the bottom of the lake, "What should I see?"
The four masters immediately shook their heads in unison, saying that it would be better if there was no vision. At this time, Hao Ren looked up at the completely dark sky, identified the direction based on his memory, and then walked towards the lake where he had stayed last time.
Bian Xiaozhan: "Let's go quickly. There was a lot of commotion just now, and it might have alerted the nearby Crusaders. It's hard to explain why we are still wandering by the lake at this time."
Everyone headed towards the outpost by the lake. On the way, Vivian glanced at the ascetics who remained silent: "Several masters know our situation. We are not from this world, but we have no ill intentions towards this world. After that,
If we encounter someone interrogating us, especially if there are church personnel interrogating us, I hope that some of you can help cover it up. In addition, regarding the Holy Temple Orb, I hope that some of you can help us bear witness as agreed."
The bearded man walked leisurely and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry. The clergy will definitely abide by the agreement - although the clergy should not lie, this matter involves sacred objects, so we naturally know how to adapt to circumstances. And no matter what you say.
I received a lot of care from you when I was 'seeing the world', and it's time to repay me."
Although the bearded group always has a straight face, they are actually very talkative. In fact, as long as they have a "mission", the degree to which these ascetics adapt to changes is simply amazing. In order to protect the orb and return it to Zhao intact, they can
Surrender, you can be a prisoner, you can die, you can fight, you can even violate the bottom line of ordinary priests to work with pagans or even deceive and kidnap. It can be said that they can do anything except handing over the sacred objects of the goddess. Saints and villains
Everything is fine. These are the special priests trained by the Huiyao Sect. They have pure thoughts, clear actions, and focus only on the "sacred mission" throughout their lives.
Simple, but extremely paranoid.
Hao Ren and Big Beard have been in contact with each other for two or three days. They can't say how well they understand these weirdos who are always thinking silently, but they have more or less figured out how these people behave from their occasional conversations, and they also know how to communicate with them.
They get along, so he and Vivian can ask the four bearded men to guarantee that this does not violate the rules of the four ascetics.
Betsy looked up at the starry sky in her hometown. She seemed worried all the way. She finally went home, but the way she went home was different from what she had imagined. The mercenary girl who was cheerful every day also had moments of sadness.
. But after being sad for a while, she threw her troubles behind her and became happy again: "That's right! You have to receive the reward after you go back! Bearded Master, when we hand over the orb, we have to go together.
I was also a noble at that time... I wonder which big shot will award me the honor! If Marshal Ofra hasn't left the west yet... Hey, hey hey hey..."
When Vivian heard Betsy's weird laughter, she couldn't help but feel numb all over. She hugged her shoulders and ran to Hao Ren: "Why am I so allergic to this kind of laughter?"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "Hesiana——"
Vivian immediately thought of many things that made her skin crawl. She turned around and glared at Betsy: "Don't laugh like that! I'm allergic!"
"In other words, it's useless for you to be canonized as a knight and get a manor now." Nangong Wuyue glanced at Betsy, "Every time you stay here for fifteen days, even if you get a big house, it's like living for a servant.
Already."
"Don't remind me of this!" Betsy immediately jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail, "Can't you just leave after enjoying yourself!"
The group of people were all very nice. Although they were joking all the way, they walked quickly and soon arrived at the small station by the lake. When the silhouettes of simple wooden houses appeared in front of them, Yzaks suddenly stopped everyone in a low voice: "
Wait a minute! Something happened up front!"
Hao Ren looked up and immediately discovered a problem: the outpost in the distance was completely dark, without even a single light. The brilliant stars and the light of two moons shone on the outpost at the same time, but no one could be seen inside.
There was no human habitation. And after careful observation, Hao Ren also found that many buildings in the post seemed to have been damaged. What impressed him most was that there were several arrow towers at the corners of the post, but now there were only a few thick wooden piles left there.
Betsy didn't see the situation of the outpost clearly at the moment, but she just wondered why there were no lights inside: "Hey, why does it look like there's no one there? Aren't these outposts by the lake supposed to be stationed for a long time..."
Lily sniffed hard, and the fluff on her ears and tail stood up: "There is a little bit of bloody smell, it will dissipate soon, it should be a few days ago."
"Someone is attacking the Holy Lake Post?!" Big Beard and the others finally couldn't keep calm at this time. The four of them rushed forward, "Hurry over and take a look at the situation!"
Hao Ren hurriedly ran over, and after a while he reached the lakeside highland. Only then did he see more details: the wooden wall around the small outpost had basically collapsed, and the magic barrier that originally shrouded the outside of the wall had also dissipated.
It was clean, and two-thirds of the front wall of the outpost was shattered and scattered around the high ground as if it had been trampled by some huge creature. He followed the bearded man into the camp, and everywhere he saw were buildings that collapsed in the same way: walls
The body was broken by brute force, the solid wood was shattered and scattered, and many building fragments were even forced into the ground.
It was as if giants had sacked the outpost.
Hao Ren suddenly remembered the stone giants he had dealt with once: Could it be that the defense line of Leighton Town had been breached in the two months after he left? The stone giants had already rushed to the inner line of the Holy Lake?
But the situation in the Holy Lake didn't seem to have changed, and the camp on the small island in the middle of the lake was also brightly lit - he had just asked Doudou to swim up there to take a look, so there was nothing wrong with it.
At this time, the bearded man had already circled the camp, and his tone was very serious: "What on earth is going on? Pagans attacking the Holy Land?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
