Chapter 167

At this point, Epper sighed heavily again and asked everyone: "Just tell me, is your brain squeezed by the door?"

The scene fell into silence for a while.

It's not that everyone doesn't know how to answer, but this situation is too speechless, and they don't know what to say.

After a while, Lu Lin asked: "Then, what about the people of the Samsara Sect?"

"Too many people ran away, the cathedral was almost shut down, and most of the people of the Samsara Sect were called back," Epper said, "Then after the detailed planning, a team of people was assigned to each city to take care of the elderly and children who couldn't leave the city. For the convenience of management, everyone was concentrated in several places. The hospital is concentrated here. Patients and some elderly people, there is another gathering point in the city, and the children are basically there."

"In other words, these people have abandoned their own elderly and children for this matter?" Jack Zhengyi was shocked again.

"Some people do. I heard that someone carried his father on his sickbed and his father's sickbed to help move the lake. To be honest, it's better not to do anything," Epper said, and sighed again.

Lu Lin couldn't count how many times she sighed.

I thought she had been away for so long that she might not care about the Endless Church.

Now it seems that it's the opposite. The Endless Church doesn't seem to have a low status in Epper's heart.

Come to think of it, if you really don't miss it, there's no reason to suddenly want to come back and see it.

"But think about it on the bright side. At least there was no accident, right?" Lu Lin smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere, "It shouldn't have any impact on us, right?"

"That's the truth," Epper said, looking up at the city in front of him, curling his lips, "Forget it, let's go, there are no supplies to sell to us here, and we'd better wait until we get to the cathedral to buy things."

After that, Epper was the first to walk in the direction they came from.

Everyone looked at each other and followed.

After taking two steps, Lu Lin suddenly felt something on his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw that it was indeed the little snow ferret that had returned.

"Huh? Why did you just come back? Where did you go just now?" Lu Lin asked in confusion.

"I went to pick some fruits," the little snow ferret said, and reached out from the void, and a bright red fruit appeared in its hand, and then it opened its mouth and started to eat.

"Oh, that's it," Lu Lin nodded.

After walking a few steps, Lu Lin suddenly felt something was wrong.

Wait.

How could this guy eat fruits?

It eats human souls and undead creatures, and the only food it really eats is souls, and undead creatures are also used by it to feed the underworld.

This little guy is essentially a soul?

Souls can never eat ordinary fruits, right?

Unless...

Lu Lin stopped.

Hearing the footsteps behind him suddenly stop, Lan Jie was stunned for a moment, then turned back and asked in confusion: "Huh? Boss, what's wrong with you?"

However, Lu Lin did not answer, but slowly put on the crow mask and looked at the fruit in the snow ferret's hand through two lenses.

Then, he saw a strong black gas in the fruit.

That was the unique breath of the dead.

Chapter 272 But to be honest, this thing is really good at loosening the soil

"Is there any relationship between the Infinite Church and the necromancy and the necromancy school?" Mopper looked at Lu Lin with a puzzled look, "This... must be considered as mutual hostility? Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Then, did this kind of fruit grow here before?" Lu Lin stretched out his hand and put a red fruit in front of Mopper.

"Huh? What kind of fruit is this?" Mopper picked it up and frowned, "This thing... No, this thing is not a fruit, it's not even a plant, where did you find this thing?"

Lu Lin looked at the snow ferret on his shoulder.

The latter pointed to the ground below.

Everyone looked in the direction of its finger, but found nothing.

"Found it down there?" Lu Lin asked.

"Yes, just that one piece, growing on the tip of a slender branch," the snow ferret nodded.

Lu Lin looked at Moth Amber, who frowned and then jumped down from the tree.

Everyone looked at each other and followed.

Lan Jie appeared directly on the ground below.

Jack Zhengyi jumped straight down, and when he reached the ground, he used his magic power to slow down and landed smoothly.

Si Li flew down directly on the staff.

Only Lu Lin and Li Mi stood there staring blankly.

Lu Lin turned his head and looked at the snow ferret on his shoulder.

The latter swallowed the fruit in his mouth, grinned at him, and then jumped down.

Seeing the ferret spread its limbs and fall down like a flying squirrel, Lu Lin sighed and could only take Li Mi with him to find the big climbing turtle they rode when they came up, and then sit on the back of the big climbing turtle and slowly go down to the ground.

A few minutes later, Lu Lin finally reached the ground.

Looking around, he found that everyone was standing in a circle not far away, and seemed to be surrounding something.

Lu Lin walked over and saw that on the ground in front of everyone, there was a two-meter-long white insect with two heads and countless small feet lying on its back.

On each head of the bug, there are two thin, long tentacles like willow branches, and at the tip of the tentacles hangs a small red ball, which is the "fruit" that the ferret ate before.

"You finally came down," Sili looked at Lu Lin, "Do you recognize this thing?"

"This..." Lu Lin looked at this strange bug, and then a formula suddenly came to his mind.

[Dead Spirit Formula] · [Dead Spirit Puppet] · [Kru's Dead Puppet Two-Headed Bug], a special kind of dead spirit puppet.

Most dead spirit creatures actually rely on special environments and the magic power of the summoner to exist for a long time.

The simplest example is the skeleton soldier.

Skeletons have no muscles, tendons, or nerves on their bodies. Many joints are even broken. From a biological point of view, it is absolutely impossible for them to move.

The reason why this thing can move is either because there is a special environment that can provide it with magic for action, or it simply relies on the magic left in its body when the summoner summons it.

Therefore, most undead creatures cannot exist for a long time in ordinary environments without the supply of the summoner.

But [Kru's Dead Puppet Two-Headed Worm] is different.

This is a self-sufficient advanced undead puppet.

It looks like a bug because it uses its bone structure to create a shell similar to the exoskeleton of an insect, and inside its body, it is filled with soft flesh and bone powder used to repair the shell.

This thing lives in the soil all year round. As long as there is enough flesh and blood in its body, it can convert it into magic power for its own actions.

When there is not enough flesh and blood, it will float to the ground, revealing the tentacles on its forehead, and lure nearby animals with the fruit at the front. Once an animal or human attracted by the fruit approaches, it will immediately rush out from the ground and cut it into pieces.

When the flesh and blood in its body are almost accumulated, it will drill into the ground again.

As for why this thing didn't attack the ferret before...

As a high-level undead puppet, this thing is not very strong in combat, but in exchange, it has a "brain".

Two living people are needed to refine it, so that the brains of these two people can maintain their original functions after the refining is completed.

Therefore, this thing has a very high IQ. It can not only perform quite complex work, but also has the ability to judge the situation.

It is estimated that it can't afford to offend this little white ancestor, so it allows the snow ferret to pick the fruit on their heads.

After listening to Lu Lin's introduction, everyone frowned.

Undead puppets, or advanced undead puppets.

And it seems that there are more than one nearby.

According to common sense, this kind of thing should not appear in this area.

Moreover, this thing can't even be recognized by moth amber, you can imagine how rare this thing is.

If it wasn't picked by the snow ferret and attracted Lu Lin's attention, it is estimated that they would never have discovered such a thing.

"It takes two living people to refine one..." Jack Zhengyi's face was very ugly, "That is to say, at least here, there are four people's lives..."

"Hehe, since this thing has appeared, how could there be only two," Si Li shook her head, "What else is needed to refine this thing besides two living people?"

"I don't know what it takes for a necromancer to summon this thing, but if alchemy is used, it is not cheap to refine it," Lu Lin said, "If you convert it, the cost of one is five or six gold coins, not counting people, but I don't know how many there are underground."

"No, we will know soon," Mo Amber said, and a emerald green long staff taller than her appeared in her hand, like a huge banana leaf spiral.

At the front end of the long staff, a ball of transparent liquid was wrapped in the center of the spiral and suspended in the air, like a dazzling gem at the end of the staff.

The next moment, the lower end of the long staff was fiercely stabbed into the ground.

Then, a gentle force spread out.

Everyone felt a surge of warmth in their bodies, and the fatigue along the way was mostly relieved at this moment.

But the warmth was short-lived. After only three seconds, the land within a kilometer of the house suddenly shook violently.

Everyone was shocked. At first, they thought it was an earthquake. When they looked down, they found that all the plants in the entire area except the giant trees began to grow wildly.

Suddenly, accompanied by a long plant root breaking out of the ground, a white two-headed worm was pulled out from the ground and fell heavily to the ground.

After one, the second, then the third, the fourth...

One by one, the two-headed worms were pulled out of the ground, but Momber's face became more and more ugly.

Because, just in the underground of the kilometer radius around this city, there are dozens or hundreds of such worms hidden.

You know, this is not some skeleton soldier that is everywhere on the street.

There is such a density in the nearby kilometer, how many will there be in the entire area of ​​the Infinite Church?

How many living people are needed as materials?

How much money will it cost to purchase the relevant raw materials?

Such a big move, it can't be used to help them loosen the soil in the forest, right?

If the other party really deployed this thing throughout the Blue Leaf Forest of the Infinite Church...

Just thinking about it, Mo Amber felt a chill slowly crawling up his spine.

Chapter 273: Behind the absurd appearance, there is always a surging undercurrent

Within the jurisdiction of the Boundless Church, a banquet was being held inside a tree-top city.

Or, actually, this can't be called a banquet. After all, people here live the same life every day.

The dining table is filled with fine wines and delicacies, surrounded by handsome men and beauties from the outside world as well as rare and exotic animals. Every day, they are either watching someone perform a show or playing some ridiculous and lewd games.

They are all members of the Infinite Church, and they are basically high-ranking members.

Some people come from the meat pie, and some people come from the vegetarian pie.

At this time, the two sects of believers under them were fighting to the death on the border, but at this time, they gathered together happily and enjoyed a table full of sumptuous food.

You have a bite of beef with tomatoes, and I have a bite of meatballs wrapped in vegetables. How can you tell which of these people is a meat-eater and who is a vegetarian?

If they are believers from both factions, they would not know what to think when they see that the extremely high-ranking officials who have been talking about eating meat or being vegetarian all day long are as treacherous as murder and arson. At this moment, they are actually sitting together with the other high-ranking officials to enjoy a nutritionally balanced meal.

However, although these people are all at the banquet, it can be seen that they are not actually the highest status beings here.

Their seats are arranged on both sides of the hall, and the performance stage is in the center, always facing a fixed direction.

Sitting there is the real core of this banquet.

It was a huge black bear.

Or to be precise, a werebear.

He belongs to the "Bear Spirit Clan", one of the rarest races among the "half-orc" races that are quite rare in the world.

Almost all people in this race are natural druids, possessing a very high affinity for natural magic. Since the founding of the Infinite Church, this race has always been a core component of the Infinite Church.

But perhaps also because of their huge size and strong affinity, the birth rate of their race has always been unsatisfactory. If they marry other races, only one in ten offspring will inherit the relevant bloodline, and it is extremely easy to have dystocia.

As for intermarriage, the pregnancy rate is extremely low. It is normal for a couple to have only one child in their lifetime.
