Chapter 556 Capturing the Lost City!

This waterfall did not last too long.

It was not that the river water on the ground had run out, but that the crack that Bai Pu had opened was very narrow. During the process of water scouring, gravel and silt gradually blocked the crack.

Such a huge underground world is really troublesome if you are not familiar with the terrain.

Fortunately, Bai Pu had prepared in advance. In his mind, there was a 3D structural diagram of the entire Original Sin Continent, which was constructed in combination with the information of the Church of Thorns. The running track of the Lost City was also constructed simultaneously.

Next, just follow the track calculated in advance and find it all the way.

Bai Pu always let the four bishops and servants maintain a spiritual resonance with each other, release their spiritual power, and conduct long-distance detection.

This place, which Bai Pu called the Earth Vein Corridor, must be very dangerous.

The reason is simple. Bai Pu came here to complete the "rank promotion task".

In addition to the standard task process, the rank promotion task also has three derivative branches.

Bai Pu has already completed the standard mission: killing three alien travelers, and the bronze branch mission: killing a high-ranking lord of the Church of Thorns.

He is not satisfied with the rank of bronze major, and wants to try the silver branch:

Explore the secrets of the Lost City and obtain a holy artifact from the Lost City!

Think about it, the bronze branch is to kill high-ranking lords, so how difficult is the silver branch?

Conservatively estimated that there are more than one lord-level enemies!

Therefore, caution is a must.

Soon, the bishop servant who had a spiritual connection with Bai Pu, Bishop Yakino of Mulan City, sent a spiritual wave, and several bishops detected that there was a "living thing" ahead, about two or three kilometers away.

Bai Pu tapped his eyebrows lightly, emitting a wisp of mental power. The spiritual connection of the four bishop servants locked on Bai Pu, and Bai Pu immediately felt that his mental power was "pushed" and had several times the powerful kinetic energy, which quickly spread forward.

This is the spiritual connection between Bai Pu and the bishop's servants, the spiritual power sharing mode.

In this mode, Bai Pu can temporarily have the spiritual power detection strength of the high-level lord level.

Bai Pu's own spiritual power talent is extremely excellent, and he can clearly reflect the area where the spiritual power line sweeps, just like taking a photo and recording it in his mind.

Combined with Bai Pu's powerful intelligence extraction and analysis capabilities, almost all valuable clues within the detection range will not escape his observation.

"It's them."

In Bai Pu's spiritual power vision, he can "see" a mountain pillar in the distance, and there is a group of people busy. These people, without exception, are all wearing robes with thorn patterns, and they are believers of the Church of Thorns!

In fact, it is not surprising that the Church of Thorns discovered the earth vein corridor and speculated that the lost city may appear in the earth vein corridor.

Because Bai Pu speculated this conclusion based on the intelligence data observed by the Church of Thorns.

Bai Pu's information was only the intelligence seized by several Thorn branches in the southwest jungle, while the Thorn Church occupied the entire Original Sin Continent, and the level of detail of the information was far beyond what Bai Pu had.

Moreover, Bai Pu did not forget that the Lord of Suffering, believed in by the Thorn Church, was an absolute god, and the messenger of God he sent to the Original Sin World, the Thorn Mother, was also a powerful existence far beyond the level of the awakened.

Whether it was the Lord of Suffering or the Thorn Mother, it was not difficult to infer the trajectory of the Lost City from so much information.

"They may also have a lot of things I don't know."

Bai Pu's mind was racing, "Based on the fanaticism of the Thorn Church believers, it is almost impossible to expect to subdue them head-on and obtain intelligence through interrogation. In this case... change the strategy and switch from head-on confrontation to lurking and joining!"

...

The group of Thorn believers were busy, divided into several teams, measuring around the "pillar" supporting the ground and the dome.

One of the believers scratched his crotch, muttered a few words, ran to a secluded place on the side, and unzipped his clothes.

The sound of rushing water hitting the ground sounded, and it echoed very clearly in this underground world.

Suddenly, the believer was shocked, as if he felt something. He opened his mouth to shout, but a powerful iron elbow hooked his neck hard, and another big hand covered his mouth.

Without the other believers noticing, the black-clothed believer was dragged to the corner.

Ten seconds later, another "believer" wearing a black hood and wrapped tightly in a black robe walked out of the corner.

"Huh... As long as I don't meet a lord who is good at mental exploration and has keen perception, I won't be exposed."

Bai Pu kept his head down and mixed into the group of black-clothed believers.

He chose this believer for a reason. From his observations during this period of time, the black-clothed believer he chose should be a small fry at the bottom. No one would ask him what to do, but only someone would tell him what to do.

Especially because of the submissive nature of this black-clad believer, many believers of the same status as him bossed him around and pushed their own responsibilities to him.

After Bai Pu "returned to the team", no one asked him where he had been, and no one discovered his flaws. Soon, someone came to order Bai Pu to help them dig a hole.

Bai Pu did as he was told, and he silently endured all kinds of contempt and scolding.

Soon, Bai Pu learned some useful information.

It turned out that since the last time the Lost City appeared, the Church of Thorns had found a passage to the Earth Vein Corridor from the bottom of the cenote!

Afterwards, the church leaders sent a large number of devout believers to survey and dig at the key nodes of the Earth Vein Corridor and bury strange rune stones.

The rune stones of this team were guarded by the leader of the team, a warrior-level holy warrior. He was very cautious and did not let anyone approach the rune stones! Bai Pu could only take a few glances from a distance, and it felt a bit like the rune text in the Lost City.

However, Bai Pu could not remember the specific shape of the rune text, so he could not be sure.

"What did the Church of Thorns bury so many rune stones for?"

Bai Pu frowned, and he couldn't help thinking of the Lost City.

"If... the Lost City is a self-aware life form..."

"The Church of Thorns is doing this for one purpose, and that is to capture the Lost City!"

Bai Pu's eyes suddenly opened, and he immediately secretly checked the will of the spirit world: "The Lost City is the matrix of the world of original sin! Right?"

The will of the spirit world seemed to be a little stuck, and it took a few seconds to give feedback:

"Not entirely."
