Chapter 549 The Second Summoning Altar

Wang Tao agreed to become a member of the base committee. He has real power and great authority, but he doesn't care about anything.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't care about anything. Wang Tao will definitely participate in some key and important things.

Before leaving, Gu Yun told Wang Tao that if he wanted, he could go to the committee to guide the work tomorrow. However, the specific time of joining the committee and the inauguration ceremony had to wait. Because the other committee members have not been selected yet, Wang Tao is the first one to be confirmed.

This committee is different from the previous ones. The number of people this time will be more streamlined, but Gu Yun can't explain how to do it. Wang Tao can go to the committee himself or wait for Gu Yun's notice.

He also specifically told Wang Tao to make time to attend the inauguration ceremony. If Wang Tao really doesn't have time, they can even wait until Wang Tao is done.

After all, Wang Tao is the first person in Changhe Base. Although he has not appeared in public many times, he is still very famous and has many fans. If he doesn't show up, the ceremony will be a little bit less interesting.

As for the official time of taking office, it may be one to two weeks later.

Wang Tao is going to go out tomorrow. In this case, he will calculate the time and come back in a week.

At night, Qu Shilin woke up. Without any surprise, she successfully promoted to the fifth level.

[HP: 220000/220000]

[Mana: 70000/70000]

[Level: Fifth Level]

[Impurities in the body: 3%]

[Awakening: Insight]

"Congratulations!"

Wang Tao brought Ding Yuqin and his party and smiled and congratulated Qu Shilin.

"I am also a fifth-level awakener..."

Qu Shilin was a little unbelievable at first. After all, not counting Wang Tao's Spark Club, Cheng Yiyi is the only fifth-level awakener in the entire base. It was too easy for her to become a fifth-level awakener, and she felt like she was dreaming.

Then Qu Shilin became excited again-she accepted this exciting fact that she was indeed a fifth-level awakener!

Finally, Qu Shilin suddenly showed a confused and surprised expression.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

Qu Shilin's expression was very rich at this moment.

"I seem to understand how to make the fifth-order gene medicine... I seem to understand the things that I didn't understand before... But I have some new doubts..." After Qu Shilin's face changed many times, he immediately said loudly, "I want to go to the laboratory!"

"..."

It can only be said that Qu Shilin is worthy of being a successful scientist. With her spirit of research, it is impossible not to succeed.

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

"What are you polite about."

Wang Tao took Qu Shilin to jump on the golden eagle and sent it back to the research institute. By the way, he told her about the problem of taking Xiaohuo out with her next time. Qu Shilin said of course that it didn't matter. Hers was Wang Tao's, and there was no need to distinguish between them.

After returning, Wang Tao talked to everyone about his problem of going out tomorrow.

"Are you going alone, or taking us with you?"

Ding Yuqin looked at Wang Tao expectantly. She felt that she hadn't acted with Wang Tao for a long time.

Wang Tao thought for a while and said:

"I'll go alone this time."

This time he went out mainly to see the Silver Snake Base and the suspected summoning altar that Shen Cuishan mentioned.

The former is easy to say. Even if the Silver Snake Base is in chaos, it is composed of survivors. Wang Tao is not worried about his own safety. He just needs to be more vigilant. But the suspected summoning altar may be dangerous.

After all, the summoning altar can summon seventh-level creatures. If there is any danger, there may be trouble if there are too many people.

"Okay then..."

Ding Yuqin didn't ask much, but she was a little disappointed.

Wang Tao smiled and pinched her little face.

"Next time, after I figure out the situation at the Silver Snake Base, we'll go over and take a look."

"Okay~"

No one spoke that night. The next morning, Wang Tao first sent Lan Yulian and the others out of the city. After all, Wang Tao was not at home, and they had nothing to do at home, so they decided to go out and hunt monsters to get crystal cores.

This time it was a new crack, called Crack No. 2. The previous one was Crack No. 1. There are no high-level monsters in Crack No. 1. With the current strength of the Spark Club, it is naturally not worth exploring.

Although Crack No. 2 is far from Crack No. 1, it is already the second closest crack to the Changhe Base.

There are several cracks farther away, but they are too far away, so it is safer to explore the ones nearby first.

It is not known what dangers there are in Crack No. 2, but Ding Yuqin and the others are all fifth-level awakeners after all, so they can deal with danger calmly.

Wang Tao actually wanted to go into this crack to take a look, but considering that he still had his own things to do, he gave up.

After watching everyone enter the crack, Wang Tao thought, should we get them some flying mounts? After all, the golden eagle has been following Wang Tao all the time, and it is not convenient for others to have no flying mounts.

The golden eagle said before that there were other flying mutants in this area, but they were all driven away by the golden eagle. Then Wang Tao should pay more attention in the future, and he should be able to encounter them. As long as they are not flying zombies, they should be able to be caught and used...

"Pay more attention in the future..."

After Wang Tao muttered to himself, he let the golden eagle fly towards the direction of the Silver Snake Base again.

The entourage this time was similar to the last time. In addition to Wang Tao himself, there were Lightning and Jiang Shixue. However, there were two more little martens this time. It was quite fun to have these two lively guys along the way.

After a while, the golden eagle began to slow down. The place that Shen Cuishan mentioned was suspected to be the summoning altar was approaching.

Shen Cuishan only said a general place. Wang Tao had to look carefully for the exact location, after all, there was no house number now.

However, after Wang Tao came to this area, he found a clue soon-he saw a group of survivors.

There were more than 50 survivors in this group, most of whom were ordinary people wearing thick clothes and strong bodies, and the six fourth-level awakeners led this group.

This combination was very strange, because ordinary people appearing in this environment would be looking for death, unless there were powerful awakeners to protect them. But it was obviously unreasonable for the awakeners to go to great lengths to protect such a group of useless ordinary people and appear in this place where no one was going to shit...

Wang Tao had reason to suspect that this group of people was going to "improve their strength", and those ordinary people were the sacrifices of the six awakeners.

So, Wang Tao secretly followed them in the sky.

The wind and snow in the sky were very strong, and the golden eagle was far away, so this group of people obviously could not find it.

After walking for a while, the group of people came to the foot of a big mountain, and suddenly disappeared one after another. Looking carefully, they found that they all entered a very hidden cave.

"That's it!"

Shen Cuishan had told him before that the place where strength could be improved was in a cave. That should be here.

"Go and play by yourself, I'll call you when I have something."

Wang Tao left some nutrient solution for the golden eagle, then put the two little minks in his pocket, and finally held Jiang Shixue in one hand and Lightning in the other hand, and jumped off the back of the golden eagle.

Wang Tao was very cautious about the summoning altar. In case there were creatures above level six here, the golden eagle with a large body might alarm it. So it's better to be low-key and jump directly from the air.

When he was about to land, two huge wings suddenly opened behind Wang Tao. His landing speed suddenly slowed down, and then he landed gently on the ground.

Since he got this pair of dark blood wings, Wang Tao has not used it to fight much, but he has to say that it feels really good to fly.

Swish——

Wang Tao let go of Jiang Shixue and Lightning, and folded his wings. The two little minks showed their heads from Wang Tao's pockets.

"Let's go, let's go."

Wang Tao took a few quick steps and saw a very hidden cave.

The outside of this cave was blocked by many stones, and there was a lot of snow on the stones, so whether from the top or from the front, the existence of this cave could not be seen. It can only be found from a specific angle.

"It's quite hidden..."

Wang Tao carefully explored the entrance of the cave with his mental power, but did not find anything wrong, no summoning altar, and no human beings.

"The cave seems to be very big..."

Wang Tao did not hesitate and went in directly.

After entering the cave, it was obvious that the temperature here had risen a lot, but there were no lights or torches here, and it was pitch black. But this is naturally no problem for Wang Tao and his team, who all have night vision.

After taking a look at the messy footprints on the ground, Wang Tao immediately followed.

Not long after, Wang Tao saw some lights in front of him, which were torches on the wall.

At the same time, Wang Tao vaguely felt a very special and mysterious atmosphere.

"Pay attention, we are almost there..."

After a moment, the vision suddenly became clear.

An empty hall appeared in front of him, with several thin torches hanging high on the wall, and the shadows of a group of people in the middle of the hall swaying in the firelight.

"There are quite a few people!"

Wang Tao estimated that there were more than a hundred people here, most of whom were ordinary people with little combat power. Half of these ordinary people were just brought here, and they were still wearing thick clothes and wrapped tightly. The other half of the ordinary people showed their faces, and you could see the excitement on their faces.

In addition to these ordinary people in the middle, there were 12 fourth-level awakeners on the periphery.

These 12 awakeners were fully armed and covered their faces, not showing their true faces.

However, their disguise could not hide from Wang Tao's mental detection. Wang Tao randomly found a big-breasted awakener and used his mental power to check it out. As a result, he unexpectedly found that it was an acquaintance.

"Shen Cuishan? She's here again... She's really not afraid of death."

Wang Tao shook his head and didn't go up to say hello. He and Jiang Shixue hid in the shadows together.

This hall is very large, and there are few torches, so there are a lot of shadow areas. This also makes this place more mysterious...

"Brother, is there a summoning altar here?"

Jiang Shixue communicated with Wang Tao using mental power.

"There should be, I feel a mysterious breath, this breath is very similar to the summoning altar in my hand..."

Wang Tao explained.

When the summoning altar is placed, Wang Tao cannot see the specific information. So Wang Tao can't see it intuitively, and can only judge by experience.

But what made Wang Tao curious was that didn't it say that sacrifice could only improve one person's strength at a time, and the others had to line up? How come there are 12 awakeners in there now? Can they be improved at the same time?

…

"You are too slow!"

In the crowd, a thin awakener spoke up. His voice was very hoarse, like scratching glass, which was unbearable. But Wang Tao could feel that he should have pretended to have such a voice on purpose in order to hide his true identity.

"You are talking without any pain! It's snowing so hard outside, and we brought so many people. It's good that we can come here today! Next time you bring people here, I'll see if you still say you are slow!"

Another person spoke up. This person was one of the six awakeners who brought the survivors here.

"Hehe, it's not like I haven't brought them before. I came here in advance every time."

"You only brought a few sacrifices! You just carried the sacrifices and left, and we brought half of the total number of sacrifices! How can this be compared!"

"…"

The two were not very satisfied with each other and started arguing.

Those ordinary people had kept their heads down and didn't dare to join in the bickering of such big men. But when they heard the word "sacrifice", they were a little curious.

Sacrifice? What sacrifice?

They didn't see anything like sacrifices along the way. They didn't even bring much food, saying that there was enough food in the Silver Snake Base for them to eat. But they were also very curious. Aren't they going to the Silver Snake Base? Why did they come to this cave? There is a dead end in the cave...

"Okay, stop arguing! Do you still want to improve your strength? Business is important, hurry up and sacrifice these sacrifices. Get it done early and go home early!"

Someone shouted impatiently.

"Humph!"

The two glared at each other, but didn't continue to quarrel.

Then the 12 awakened people all looked at the group of ordinary people, and their excited and excited eyes were not concealed at all. The hearts of these ordinary people suddenly trembled, and they suddenly had a bad premonition.

"God of Fire, please enjoy your sacrifice... Please give us strength..."

The 12 awakened ones surrounded the group of ordinary people, pointed at them, and muttered some mysterious words.

No matter how stupid these ordinary people were, they knew something was wrong. They were very panicked and subconsciously wanted to leave here, but they suddenly found that their bodies softened and they sat on the ground with exhaustion.

"Hahaha! Don't run, sacrifices, and offer them to the great God of Fire!"

One of the awakened ones laughed wildly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tao was ready to take action. It would be fine if he didn't see it, but since he saw it, he would definitely stop the sacrifice.

But Wang Tao stopped again because he felt that the summoning altar didn't seem to start the sacrifice...

"Huh? What's going on?"

After a while, seeing that the sacrifices were still alive, the awakened ones were a little confused.

"Why doesn't the God of Fire eat the sacrifices?"

"Is the procedure wrong? Everything should be correct..."

"What's going on?"

"..."

"Wait! It seems that... the number is wrong!"

"Impossible, 108 sacrifices, plus our 12 believers, isn't this what we agreed on before? Is there a lack of sacrifices? Let me count again..."

"No! It's not that there are fewer sacrifices, but that there are more believers! In addition to the 12 of us... there are other people here!"

In the dark, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

"Huh? The rules of this summoning altar seem to be different from my summoning altar..."
