Chapter 723 Player City Lord and Bible Strengthening
Although the source of the poisonous barrier in the plagued land has been eliminated, the devastated land will not be able to recover for a while. Many residual poisons in dangerous areas can still kill people in an instant, but the same can be found if suitable methods of utilization are found. Eventually, these poisons will be of great value.
During the rule of the Plague God Cult, they often collected various poisons and exchanged resources with surrounding forces. When the poisonous barrier in the sky subsided, various treasures hidden deep in the poisonous fog were revealed to the sky, and the difficulty of collection suddenly decreased.
Especially when the Epidemic Cult had just been destroyed, the ground was full of free wealth. Experienced poison-seeking veterans took advantage of the situation and rushed into dangerous places to search desperately. They turned "the most daring" into a reality again and again, and followed the trend. This led to more people participating, setting off an alternative gold rush.
This made a dangerous profession that only a few people participated in become popular in the diseased land. The ways for primitive humans to make money were pitiful. When they suddenly saw such a prosperous road, they went crazy.
For a time, related transactions became a pillar industry of the Dream-Shifting Cult.
With the fall of the Dream-seeking Cult, these wild resources were naturally assigned to the Church of Tribulation. How much wealth the practitioners can obtain determines the rate at which the power of faith is generated. But in the long run, destructive and wanton plundering will sooner or later To completely barren this land and make poisonous resources sustainable is the best way to maintain stability over time and is also a major source of income for the church.
However, there was insufficient manpower before, and even the internal affairs of the base area could not be handled well. Various matters outside the base area could only be said to be powerless. They had to allow more and more "gold diggers" to rush into the wilderness one after another. The church could only They can collect certain taxes and fees through resource transactions that occur in the stronghold, and they don't even have the energy to combat "smuggling."
Of course, the Church of Tribulation can also imitate the Cult of Plague, locking all its believers in dark cracks in the ground, and eradicating the loss of resources until it is able to control the wild.
It's just that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. When the church is not stable, it can easily cause public resentment. This method is not in line with the original intention of establishing the church. Besides, there are countless robbers from other places. Instead of letting outsiders take advantage, it is better to People on your own turn a blind eye.
Fortunately, after the manpower problem of the Suffering Church has been alleviated, the church's senior leaders, who have the foresight and conditions, have begun governance actions.
At this moment, in a swamp outside Plague City, dozens of suffering cultists are working together to seal a blue pool.
At first glance, the water in the pool is clear and sparkling, and there is nothing special about it. However, in fact, the blue water has the ability to rot bones and is a rare toxin essence. However, considering the wild conditions in the plague land, no matter how dangerous it is, It is impossible to generate such a pure poisonous pool in any poison gathering zone, so after in-depth exploration, as expected, a rare micro-plane was discovered underwater, and the poisonous essence seeped out from the cracks in the plane!
When the church leaders in Plague City learned of this situation, they immediately reported the situation and then received an order to seal the water pool.
This micro-plane has the potential to become a forbidden area for the Church before the situation is discovered. No matter what, it must be firmly controlled by the Church of Tribulation and cannot be snatched away by others.
As a result, dozens of strong church men in Plague City, led by the city lord and chief priest, sealed the green pool. Now several hours have passed and the sealing progress has come to an end, but some crises have also come.
"Lord Bing, Lord Bing, found traces of murlocs on the southwest coast near the coast. There are more than a hundred of them. The leader of the murlocs is powerful. There are many elites in the guard. The highly toxic landscape of the plague land cannot stop them. Soon they will You will meet us, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
A suffering cultist came in a hurry from afar, with an anxious look on his face, and reported the enemy's situation.
"What does the officiant think?"
The chief priest of Plague City who was presiding over the seal was an old man from the Dream-Shifting God Cult. His strength was only that of the epic god. In today's era when gods are in power, he was indeed a bit behind the times, so he directly threw the burden to the questioner: "It is up to the city lord to make his own decision. .”
"That's alright, I'm not welcome!"
The city lord smiled slightly. In fact, he was just being polite and didn't care too much about the opinion of the chief priest of Plague City. Seeing everyone around him looking anxiously, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't panic, the pope has already given instructions to make sure these fishmen never come back." , you continue to follow the chief priest, perfect the seal, and return to Plague City immediately after the completion. I will go over to check the situation first, and I can keep you safe no matter what. I still have this strength."
"Thank you City Lord!"
"City Lord, thank you for your hard work!"
"Don't worry, City Lord, we will act accordingly."
The Suffering Cultists present were sincerely grateful, including even the nominal leader of the base, the chief priest of Plague City. Previously, he learned that Plague City was going to be forcibly stuffed with a foreign city lord, and he was also a Fire Seed. The chief priest of Plague City was inevitably a little unhappy, but when When the crisis really comes, with such a powerful being, all the unhappiness disappears in an instant.
"Well, you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll be right back."
The player city lord immediately turned into a burst of green poisonous smoke and floated towards the coast.
And his true identity is a well-known wretched master. He has met Yu Jin several times in the gold rush town as a "Survival Expert". He was recommended by Yu Jin as the Lord of Plague City. With his ancient god-level strength, he serves as the leader. The Lord of a City is definitely a lowly person. Likewise, he is also the strongest player among the players who defected to Ember, ranking among the top five in the entire Church of Suffering.
Definitely worthy of being called a strong supporter!
Ordinarily, with the conditions of a survival expert, you can find better positions all over the world. The little faith salary you get as a city lord is simply not enough to fill your teeth.
However, the unique conditions of the Plague Land were very suitable for improving his special skill [Alchemy Poison Body], so the survival expert took the initiative to contact Ember through various connections, and sought such a position in the Church of Suffering, and earned another fortune on the way. Some extra money.
Under the development of survival experts, the alchemical poison body has grown astonishingly. Although it is not comparable to the [Eternal Body], it is also an extremely good incarnation skill, integrating attack, life preservation, displacement, control, change and many other characteristics into one. , which is very suitable for survival tactics of survival experts.
The green poisonous smoke he turned into quickly crossed the swamp, and he spotted several murloc pioneers in the distance, exploring something furtively. Some high-value poison items could be seen behind their hands. Obviously, Even during the invasion, they did not forget to raid and seize treasures.
"Hey, I'm afraid that if you take your life, you won't be able to get it back!"
The survival expert sneered and was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, he suddenly transformed and released a larger area of light green poison barrier, covering a large area nearby. He also dropped some fairly good treasures and waited for the fishman guards. Take the initiative to bite the hook.
"Goo quack quack quack!"
After a murloc pioneer uprooted a poisonous plant in front of him, he was about to express his joy in murloc language, but when he raised his head, he saw a poisonous fog barrier appearing in the distance.
Not only it, but several cold light murlocs nearby also noticed this poisonous barrier. However, instead of being afraid, these guys were stimulated by the very rare poisons in these sea areas. They wished they could go to the poisonous barrier now. Search for more rare treasures.
The most common way to strengthen the body in the world of ancient gods is to stimulate the body in various ways. In order to strengthen the body of the previous saints, Mogel went to the plague poison pond to catch elemental poison fish, and these grew in the plague. The poisonous items on earth are naturally not as valuable as the poisonous fish, but they are also the enhancement items that the fishman elites dream of, so their abnormal reactions are really normal.
The few murloc vanguards blinded by greed no longer bothered to explore the enemy's situation. They spread their legs and ran towards the poison barrier, causing the murloc guards behind them to hurry up and follow them. Then they discovered the poison barrier. traces.
After a period of chatty exchanges, the murlocs mobilized collectively to move closer to the poison barrier. The number was not a hundred as before, but three hundred-man guards, led by three ancient gods of the astral world. The number of powerful gods was in double figures. The name of the elite is enough to destroy any place of faith in the plague land, except for the plague capital and the plague city.
The survival expert who was hiding in the poison barrier muttered when he saw such a battle: "It is indeed coming with a fierce force. Is it true that as the Pope of Misery said, the murlocs are preparing to land in a large scale? So, should these vanguard troops be killed or retained?"
While deep in thought, the murloc pioneer who was the first to arrive near the poison barrier discovered a treasure-level precious poison. He danced with joy and immediately resisted the poison barrier, stepped into it, and grabbed the treasure before the other murloc vanguards. In his arms.
Ji Li Gua La Ji Li Gua...
Several murlocs who were a step behind shouted anxiously and rushed into the poison barrier regardless of the situation to fight for the treasure. In the end, they were almost beaten to death for another treasure. The deeper they went, the more valuable the treasure became. It was shocking. The fish people fell into madness without realizing it, and a trace of blood appeared in their eyes.
This is a sign of poisoning.
Mental toxins carefully prepared by survival experts can produce effects similar to [Suffering and War], amplifying emotional fluctuations and triggering ethnic civil war.
The guards who came later, except for a small part who stayed in the outside world and were responsible for guarding, most of them broke into the poison barrier. The three ancient gods of the star world, relying on their strength, rushed to throw themselves into the trap, but they were also poisoned by the mental poison. , just waiting for an explosion point, it can light the fuse and kill these hundreds of murlocs.
"Three astral murlocs can only be said to be barely able to survive!"
The survival expert decided to take action. Although it might scare the snake away, the fish heads delivered to the door should not be wasted.
At this moment, a poisonous treasure that he deliberately dropped entered the eyes of three astral murlocs at the same time. The value of this treasure can be seen by survival experts, not to mention these strong murlocs. or.
Greed instantly floods the brain under the stimulation of mental toxins, and the war is about to break out.
The fishman guards who stayed outside soon heard the roars of their respective leaders and rushed out of the poison barrier. They learned that they were fighting for a treasure. Without waiting for the reaction of the remaining guards, the battle started in an extremely heroic manner. Declare the end.
Two of the three astral murlocs died on the spot, and the remaining one did not have the last laugh, but was massively attacked by extraordinary murlocs.
This treasure went round and round in the hands of several murlocs, but in the end no one could get it. A large number of murlocs ended the fight by dying together. Only a few murlocs escaped from the poison barrier in time because of fear. Save a life.
Three hundred-man guards were reduced to less than fifty in an instant, and the exploration operation was suspended.
The surviving murlocs did not think about the accident and thought in the direction of conspiracy. They only thought that this poisonous barrier was a truly dangerous area that even the ancient gods of the star world could not easily enter. The remaining murlocs immediately decided to return to the coast. Knowing the situation, but because of worries The poison barrier aura spread, and they didn't even dare to stay nearby. They all retreated and stared at the death miasma from a distance with lingering fears.
"I guess I can attract a few big guys. With my current ability, I may not be easy to fool. I'd better report it first and ask for follow-up!"
The survival expert thought for a while, did not act rashly, and directly asked the Pope of Suffering for a solution.
At this moment, the Pope of Tribulation was holding the "Bible of Tribulation" that had undergone another change and comprehending it carefully. When he saw an inquiry from an expert on survival, he immediately waved his hand: "Act according to the opportunity, kill if you can, and leave if you can't. Church The manpower has been deployed, and there is no need to hide and tuck in at this time. The murloc army is coming fiercely, and a tough battle is just around the corner. However, we must not let the war spread to the place where the faith originates. It is best to resolve all crises in the wild. Survival expert , can it be done?”
"As long as the Pope can block the Abyss Shark, I have this confidence."
"Okay! I promise you!"
The Pope of Suffering laughed and said, stroking the [Sorrow Bible] with a faint and strange brilliance, and made a promise to the survival expert.
When the Scarecrow used this unusual item as a guide to connect the Tribulation Church and the Disaster Dragon, the Tribulation Bible became a holy object that could bring him, the Lord of the Church, significant help in the land of Tribulation. .
Now, in his opinion, to deal with an abyss mad shark, you don't even have to drain your faith reserves. Therefore, when faced with the conditions of a survival expert, he answered particularly easily.
The Pope of Tribulation is in a good mood, and the power of the Tribulation Bible is like an even more powerful force for him. The strength is even greater than Ember's imagination, because the suffering prayers that form the Tribulation Bible are originally born for "nothingness". The Tribulation Pope has recently participated in Mr. Fool’s exploration of nothingness, so after re-obtaining the Bible of Tribulation, he even felt that another bottleneck of the nothingness plan had become loose.
"Don't get too carried away. It's better to be careful if something unexpected happens."
At this moment, Yu Yan, who was standing opposite the Pope of Misery, shook his head: "On the church side, you have to watch first. I have to go out to do some things. One of you and I are doing it in the light and the other is in the dark. I can't measure him." You dare to do this!"
"Don't worry, maybe you won't need to take action, I will solve it myself."
"It better be so."
