Chapter 337 Lu Wu's Discovery (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
With the continuous disappearance of handymen, the disciples of the Black Prison Sect already felt that something was wrong.
They had also searched for the missing servants several times before, but they could not find any trace of the escaped servants.
At that time, they thought that these escaped handymen might have been eaten by wild beasts in the Imperial Mountains, so they didn't take them seriously.
But now this situation has occurred again, and it has become a little abnormal.
Although there are some servants in Black Prison Village who can't bear this kind of life every year and choose to escape, the frequency of this kind of thing happening is extremely low. Most of the servants have long been numb to their current life. In addition, they have repeatedly demonstrated bloody demonstrations, and some of them have escaped.
Only a handful of people have ideas.
But now the frequency of occurrence is really high, especially recently, it happens continuously, which makes the disciples of the Black Prison Sect feel a little bad.
The eldest disciple, Xiao Lang, glanced at the crowd of servants, as if he wanted to see something.
But Black Tiger was hidden among the crowd of handymen, looking up at him dully like the other servants around him, without showing any flaws.
After asking the servants again, he still couldn't get an answer, so Xiao Lang could only dismiss the servants, and then dispatched his disciples to go out to search again.
While deciding to resist, Black Tiger made a plan for his daily itinerary.
Since he has started practicing now and his physique is getting better and better, working is much easier than before. After quickly completing the day's workload, he will find a place during the last part of the task, when he goes out to fetch water.
He went into hiding to practice for a while, and then returned to the sect again.
After that, I will look for handymen during game time in the evening to carry out the process of assassination, refining, and devouring, and then go online to collect soul coins in the last few hours.
Everything went on in an orderly manner, and Black Tiger's spiritual roots grew vigorously, reaching the level of excellent spiritual roots (third level) in only half a month.
It was getting dark, and the black tiger went out again to look for tonight's prey.
This time he targeted the room of a female handyman. After quietly entering the room, he killed the female servant using the same technique.
But just when he was about to refine it, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open.
"It turns out you were the one behind it!" A disciple in charge came in with a whip in hand.
(The Black Prison Sect’s disciples are divided in levels from low to high: steward disciple, entry disciple, direct disciple, true disciple, eldest disciple, elder, head)
Hei Hu's heart suddenly shrank when he saw this, and he quickly wanted to escape, but the steward disciple had already blocked the way, and Hei Hu had no way to escape.
For three years, Heihu had a heartfelt fear when facing the disciples of the sect. Although he was already a cultivator, this fear was still engraved in his heart and could not be erased.
"How do you want to die? By the way, where are the other handymen you killed?" The steward said with a grin, approaching Black Tiger step by step.
Black Tiger didn't answer, and kept shrinking back.
Seeing that Hei Hu dared not respond to him, the disciple in charge reached out and swung the black leather whip and hit Hei Hu hard, making him tremble.
"I ask you again, where are the other handymen you killed?"
In fact, the steward disciple was not surprised that Black Tiger killed other handymen.
The reason is very simple. In this kind of environment, it is too easy for handymen to have psychological problems. There have been crazy handymen who attacked other handymen, but the only ones that puzzled him were those who died.
Why is the body missing?
Looking at the black tiger huddled in the corner, the steward disciple's anger surged in his heart. In his eyes, the servants were nothing more than animals in captivity, and disobeying him would lead to death.
The black tiger huddled in the corner looked very pitiful, but as a disciple of the Black Prison Sect, he never sympathized with the weak, because he was a superior cultivator and should have been at the top of the food chain.
Just when the black leather whip was about to be struck again, a fierce light suddenly flashed in Black Tiger's eyes, and he jumped out suddenly. The disciple in charge was caught off guard and received a heavy punch in the throat.
"Ugh...cough..." The disciple quickly covered his neck, feeling that breathing became difficult.
Now that he had taken action, Heihu became furious and punched the steward disciple's right arm again. He quickly snatched the black leather whip from his hand, then tied it around the steward disciple's neck and began to squeeze hard.
twist.
No servant had ever dared to attack them, and Black Tiger's attack really made the disciple in charge unable to react.
At this time, the black leather whip tied around his neck gradually tightened, and the barbs pierced into his blood vessels little by little. The steward disciple was horrified, and began to struggle hard. He slapped the black tiger with both hands, creating a streak.
A blood-red handprint.
However, Heihu did not dare to let go and gritted his teeth and persisted, because if the steward disciple did not die, then he would definitely die.
As the disciple in charge continued to struggle, Black Tiger's eyes gradually became bloodshot, and he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Although he was already a cultivator, there was still a big gap in strength between him and the disciple in charge. The slaps during the struggle made Black Tiger's internal organs shake. If he hadn't been determined to die, he would have been unable to hold on and collapsed.
While gritting his teeth and persisting, the disciple in charge's struggles became increasingly weak, and finally there was no movement.
However, Black Tiger still didn't let go. He tightened his grip on the black leather whip. After five minutes, he suddenly let go. Then he lay on the ground and started panting.
After some time, Heihu, who had recovered some strength, turned his attention to the disciple in charge, with a ferocious look on his face.
Now that he has killed the disciple in charge, he will naturally not waste it. The quality of the spiritual roots of these cultivators must be extremely high and will be of great help to him.
This is also true. In this era of declining spiritual energy, those who can cultivate are undoubtedly not geniuses with high-quality spiritual roots.
However, this refining lasted for about 5 hours. Black Tiger then refined the steward disciple into a blood pill and swallowed it. Then he spent another 2 hours refining another handyman.
Black Tiger then turned back to his wooden house.
After launching the game, Black Tiger first opened the properties panel as usual.
【Black Tiger(player)】
Level: Level 45
Spiritual Root (Special): Superior Spiritual Root (6/100)
(Having understood the method of seizing the foundation, you can seize the spiritual roots of others and feed your own spiritual roots)
Skill progress: 5.9% of the first level of Seizing the Basic Technique
Because refining wasted a lot of time, Hei Hu knew that he would definitely have to be beaten severely tomorrow, but after seeing his improved spiritual root, Hei Hu felt that everything was worth it.
Because he knew that he was one step closer to getting rid of the control of the Black Prison Sect.
…
Lu Wu discovered something strange recently.
The reason was that the artifact fed back an abnormal prompt, and players in a small area were dying abnormally every day, and this had been going on for more than half a month.
In fact, it is normal for players to die. After all, the player base of Zhanzhan Online is very large. Death due to various reasons in reality is also very normal.
The souls of those dead players will also be pulled into the space by the artifact.
For these dead players, Lu Wu will not directly continue to put them into the game.
After all, players are somewhat connected to each other, and many of them are even friends in real life. If they die in real life, but they are still playing the game online, this will definitely cause a big sensation.
For these players who died, Lu Wu adopted four plans.
Ordinary players are basically transformed into NPCs, have their past memories erased, and then continue the game with different identities.
By doing this, other players will not be able to discover the problem, which is very safe.
But what they don't know is that maybe the NPC they talk to at a certain time will be their dead friend in reality.
However, Lu Wu, a more talented player, would not do this.
Lu Wu will store the souls of these players in the artifact space, preparing to continue to appear in the game as players with a new look at the right time.
Because these players are very valuable and can create benefits for Lu Wu that ordinary players cannot match, they are suitable for continuing to exist as players.
Of course, the memories of these players will also be modified. Although they know that they are players, their memories related to reality will be blocked. Even if they learn about the existence of reality through communicating with players, they will still be blocked by the artifact.
This category belongs to special players who are not connected with the real world and only exist in the game. However, there are not many such players, and there are less than a hundred of them now.
There is also a very special type of super talented players.
This group of players, Lu Wu, would neither turn them into NPCs nor turn them into players. Instead, he exiled their souls to the most mysterious "Wandering Sea" in the Huangquan Sea and let them wander in that sea.
Explore the secrets of the sea.
The Wandering Sea area is different from other sea areas in the Underworld Sea. It is the seat of the Underworld Sea God, the central holy place of the entire Underworld Sea area, and the destination of the souls of most living creatures after death.
It is close to the Six Paths of Reincarnation and is also a place where souls are reincarnated and reborn.
What Lu Wu needs these super talented players to do is very simple, that is to find other talented souls for him and use them for his own use (for details, please see the "Special Chapter" later in Chapter 195)
As for the players who are registered by Lu Wu and affectionately called "bad guys" by other players, Lu Wu will basically ensure that they will not die in reality, and use artifacts to mark their safety to ensure their safety.
Because they will be the most important force in the player's natural disaster army that Lu Wu will build in the future, Lu Wu will naturally not let anything happen to them.
However, Lu Wu was still concerned about the deaths of players, so he asked Beili to set up death monitoring in the artifact. The artifact would monitor the situation 24 hours a day and divide the death situation into three criteria: normal death, accidental death, and abnormal accidental death.
Therefore, this series of abnormal and unexpected deaths in a small area naturally attracted Lu Wu's attention.
According to feedback from the artifact, there are only more than 3,000 players in that small area. However, players die abnormally and accidentally every day, which seems a bit unusual.
In order to find out the reason, Lu Wu directly used the artifact to retrieve the soul information of all players in that area.
Then he discovered that among the more than 3,000 players, more than 100 were cultivators. Although most of the cultivators were only at the threshold of cultivators, Lu Wu was still surprised.
After all, it is not easy to still have a gathering point for practitioners in this age of Dharma ending.
While checking the soul information of these players, Lu Wu also discovered something that surprised him.
Because one of the players is the potential player "Black Tiger" who he has paid close attention to recently and has begun to practice the "Bad Seizing Technique" created by the Evil God. He is expected to be included in Lu Wu's pocket book.
During an in-depth investigation, Lu Wu also discovered the Black Prison Sect, the stronghold of the demon sect with heinous practices, and also discovered the evil deeds Black Tiger had done in order to survive.
Lu Wu, who had a very upright outlook on life, immediately prepared to use the third consecutive series of authority, but at this time he was stopped by Beili.
The reason is very simple, because Beili discovered something interesting, and this matter is closely related to Lu Wu. As long as they wait for the incident to ferment, they may have unexpected gains.
