It was already dark at this time, and Heihu, who returned to Heijing Village, could not escape a beating with a black leather whip.
Fortunately, after Black Tiger became a cultivator, he had a rough skin and thick flesh, so this beating was no longer as difficult to resist as before.
After returning to the wooden house where he lived, Black Tiger began to plan his next hunting plan.
After he told the Evil God about his situation, the Evil God gave him a way to help him accelerate his growth.
Blood sacrifice to the entire Black Prison Sect!
He will enslave everyone, including the sect disciples, and refine them alive into the blood food he needs for his growth.
This idea seemed crazy to Black Tiger, but to Evil God it was nothing more than a trivial matter.
And he had already planned for Hei Hu how to do it. As long as Hei Hu did what he said, nothing would be a problem.
The Evil God's idea is very simple. There are tens of thousands of blood sacrifice formations in his mind, all of which can refine the entire Black Hell Sect at once.
Most of these formations require their own energy to operate, but a small number of them rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to operate automatically.
However, the Evil God did not use these two operating methods this time.
After all, he is now in the human world in the Age of Dharma End, and it is really difficult to rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to operate the formation.
The other kind of consumption is even more undesirable. With Black Tiger's current strength, the blood sacrifice array will be sucked into people the moment it is opened, and it will be completely unable to support the operation of the blood sacrifice array.
So the evil god came up with the law.
The power of law is everywhere and is the original force that builds the world. Even though the human world has reached the end of the law, the power of law has never faded or decreased, because law is a special energy body that is always constant.
If it dissipates, the Three Realms will inevitably collapse.
So the Evil God thought of using the power of law to run this blood sacrifice formation.
Although the Evil God is just a conscious body at the moment, he was once an ancient god and has conducted in-depth research on the laws. He also has traces of five laws engraved on his body, which will not be erased even if he dies. Therefore, he borrows the power of the laws to deal with the evil demon.
It is not difficult for God.
But before that, the Evil God still needs Black Tiger to make a lot of preparations.
He first began to teach Black Tiger the formation diagram for building the blood sacrifice formation, and then the preparation of materials. Since it was a blood sacrifice formation, blood was naturally the best outline material for the outline formation without the aid of spiritual materials.
Based on Black Tiger's current situation, there are two ways to obtain blood. One is the blood of beasts, and the other is the blood of handymen. These two ways can be done at the same time.
Since the Blood Sacrifice Array occupies a large area, the amount of blood required is naturally also very large, so it must be based on the blood of wild beasts, and then the handymen. After all, hunting the handymen is risky.
There is another very important step in the process of outlining the Blood Sacrifice Array, which is that the Blood Sacrifice Array must be hidden and must not be discovered before the Blood Sacrifice Array is completed, otherwise all efforts will be wasted.
This step can also be easily accomplished by the Evil God, because the "Law of Illusion" among the five laws he masters can completely hide the blood sacrifice formation and prevent anyone from discovering it.
After all the plans were finalized, Black Tiger took action...
For half a month, Black Tiger would complete his day's work as quickly as possible every day, and then start collecting the blood needed to outline the formation while he was out carrying water.
He will not store this blood, but will use it directly to outline the blood sacrifice formation outside the Black Prison Village. Fortunately, the Black Prison Village is shrouded in thick fog all year round, so Black Tiger secretly outlines the blood ceremony around the Black Prison Village.
The array's behavior was not discovered.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the evil god's plan.
It is precisely because of this plan of the Evil God that Black Tiger's recent hunting activities of handymen and sect disciples have slowed down.
However, people within the Black Prison Sect are still panic-stricken.
Because this time not only the disciples disappeared, but even the elders disappeared with them.
The disciples searching the mountain only found Elder Xuehan's clothes by the lakeside, but no one could be found. He seemed to have disappeared like the other missing persons.
Frequent strange events during this period even alarmed Xuan Tianji, the head of the Black Prison Sect.
After the investigation was fruitless, Xuan Tianji finally couldn't sit still this time and went out to investigate the matter in person.
Afterwards, Xuan Tianji summarized all the existing clues based on the disciples' descriptions and began to analyze them all night long.
During the investigation, Xuan Tianji discovered that since the first mysterious disappearance, there have been 378 missing people, but there are very few clues, because all the missing people have only left their clothes, and there are no other clues to prove what kind of attack it was.
Without them, the hunter cannot be found based on these weak clues.
However, Xuan Tianji discovered a trend in missing persons during his investigation.
At first, the people who disappeared were all handymen, then the disciples in charge, and after a few days, they were the entry-level disciples, and then the direct disciples. As the days passed, it seemed that the upper limit of the missing people's strength was also increasing.
This trend is as if the secret murderer is also getting stronger. Especially after hunting Elder Xue Han for the last time, his strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
This speculation really frightened Xuan Tianji, because this kind of growth was too terrifying, and Xuan Tianji would definitely not believe that there was such rapid progress in cultivation in this era of Dharma-ending times.
Even if the murderer secretly regards the missing people as blood food, it is impossible for his strength to develop so quickly, because the refined blood food can absorb 1% of the essence according to Xuan Tianji's understanding. It is not bad at all, and it is impossible to grow so quickly.
, he immediately rejected this speculation
But then another possibility popped into Xuan Tianji's mind.
What if the murderer has the ability to 100% refine blood food? Only in this way can we explain why the murderer in the dark grows so quickly!
In order to investigate clearly where the problem lies, Xuan Tianji has been running around the area where the missing persons have disappeared in the past few days and started to investigate.
In the end, he did find a clue, that is, in the water grass cave where Elder Xuehan disappeared, he actually found traces of dried white brain matter stained on the ground.
After discovering traces of dried brain matter, Xuan Tianji became more certain of his guess.
Obviously a battle broke out here. Although it is not clear whether the brain belongs to Elder Xuehan or the hunter, since the brains have been punched out, why is there no blood?
This already shows that the hunter in the dark has the ability to devour blood and is growing in this way.
Although these clues cannot directly help Xuan Tianji find the secret hunter, they give Xuan Tianji a direction to investigate.
At this time, Xuan Tianji also had a sense of urgency, because the secret hunter was growing rapidly, and he had to find the hunter before he was powerful enough to kill him.
During the subsequent investigation, Xuan Tianji thought about the possibility of invasion by foreign enemies, but this guess was quickly overturned by him.
After all, there is plenty of blood food in the outside metropolises that can be devoured. Why did the Black Prison Sect come all the way to grow by devouring servants? Therefore, it is most likely the work of insiders.
So Xuan Tianji thought of the elders in the sect, but when he thought about it carefully, Xuan Tianji couldn't help but shake his head, because if those elders really had this ability, then he would definitely not be the leader. It would be completely unreasonable to do this after enduring it for decades.
no need.
It's not a foreign enemy or an elder, but it's very likely that it was done by one of our own within the Black Prison Sect.
These clues allowed Xuan Tianji to start investigating the recent events within the sect. Through this investigation, Xuan Tianji suddenly realized what the problem was.
Among the recent events in the Black Prison Sect, one of them is that he announced that all the handymen will start using virtual helmets to help him earn soul coins!
Xuan Tianji is very clear about what is in the game Zhanzhan Online.
There are adventures there, and some big opportunities that can affect reality!
The disappearance occurred only half a month after all the disciples and servants of the sect began to use virtual helmets.
This time Xuan Tianji's thoughts suddenly became clear.
At this time, Xuan Tianji had realized that it must be a disciple of the sect or a handyman who had a great opportunity in the game and obtained a powerful practice technique.
Thinking of this, Xuan Tianji felt strong jealousy in his heart.
After all, what I had been working hard for in the game for several months but could not get was something that others in the sect got in just half a month, and I felt very unhappy.
After knowing the reason, Xuan Tianji changed the direction of his investigation. Instead of looking for real-life clues, he turned his search direction to the game.
Start reading from the official website forum, and read forward day by day to see if there are any big opportunities recently announced by the whole district.
Xuan Tianji is undoubtedly very smart, and his investigation direction is also very correct.
I quickly found a post posted by a player a month ago.
[That great master came out to show off your "The Great Technique of Seizing the Foundation". The name of this technique is a bit interesting, and I was inexplicably scared after hearing it (funny)] Posted by: Crayon Shin-chan
The magic to seize the throne!
Xuan Tianji is now certain that this is the technique that the hunter learned. It was only after he learned this technique that he started hunting in reality.
Xuan Tianji then began to continue browsing. He needed an accurate target, and these players' posts could provide him with clues.
During the search, Xuan Tianji soon discovered another surprise.
[Kung Fu? Wocao, it’s the first time it’s appeared. The boss is coming out to show off and satisfy our curiosity! (beat gongs and drums)]
(Pictures attached) (Region-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Hei Hu for obtaining the god-level skill "The Great Technique of Seizing the Foundation"!)
Seeing the screenshot in this post, Xuan Tianji laughed loudly, because this was exactly what he wanted. With a name, he didn't have to worry about finding the secret hunter.
At this time, it was already certain that Xuan Tianji was not the fault of any disciple of the sect, because he knew the names of all the disciples of the sect.
Now the final clues all point to the handyman!
However, he was not familiar with the boys. After all, in Xuan Tianji's eyes, the boys were just livestock, so why did he need to know their names.
However, the disciples in charge below are very familiar with the names of the handymen they manage. It is not difficult to find this handyman named "Black Tiger"!
…
In the evening, the elder's call came from the sect, and all the disciples, including the servants, quickly ran towards the front of the sect.
After all the servants and disciples arrived, Xuan Tianji came forward in person this time without any ink, and asked directly:
"Whose name here is Black Tiger!"
Xuan Tianji's question made the servants and disciples a little stunned.
At this time, Xuan Tianji spoke again: "Whose name here is Black Tiger!"
At this moment, Black Tiger's forehead was dripping with sweat. He didn't know exactly where he was exposed. Moreover, because he had to outline the blood sacrifice formation recently, he had even reduced the frequency of hunting. Logically speaking, he would not expose himself.
At this time, Black Tiger had no idea that the players on the official forum had already sold him out.
"Master, I wonder what I have to do with this person?" an elder beside him asked with some confusion.
"He is the hunter in the dark!"
Xuan Tianji's words were shocking, and all the sect disciples and servants were in an uproar.
Heihu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. The luck in his heart was gone, and he only had the thought of running away.
At this time, the handymen standing next to Heihu suddenly dispersed, exposing him.
These handymen were naturally familiar with Black Tiger, and they betrayed him before the disciple in charge could speak.
