Chapter 142 Commission Begins
Wu Chang looked at the bloody last words that were red to black in front of him. Combined with the scene he had just seen in the resentment, he could be sure that it was not a coincidence that the miracle stone fulfilled his wish and sent him to the midnight cemetery copy.
While the miracle stone fulfilled his wish, it was also fulfilling the wish of the moon in the midnight cemetery copy.
To end everything in the midnight ranch, you must get through everything and defeat all the opponents in front of you.
Will he win?
He will win!
With such a deep resentment, he can't not win.
Recalling the scene he saw in the resentment, the culprit of everything, the biggest bad guy in the copy plane, is undoubtedly Mikel I.
Black-hearted, ruthless, meticulously planned, and with eight hundred eyes on his body.
He overlooked everything that happened in the Mikel Kingdom from the perspective of Miracle Moon. In short, he was in the perspective of God.
Many things that Moon couldn't understand, he could easily see through as a player of the Gou system.
For example, after integrating the Great Sage and acquiring the human way of thinking, Miracle Moon believed that Mikel I launched the plague in order to maintain his rule.
However, in Wu Chang's opinion, things are not that simple.
From the fact that Mikel I made a wish to the Golden Throne, and the resonance between the small miracles in the Golden Throne and Miracle Moon, he had long discovered the secret of the Golden Throne and knew that the Golden Throne could fulfill his wish.
He only needs to perform a wish-fulfillment performance in front of everyone, just like the Soul Light Sect, to always be the chosen one in people's hearts, and his status will never be shaken.
Obviously, Mikel I deliberately created the illusion that miracles were rare and he was abandoned by the gods, seducing those ambitious nobles to appear, and then taking advantage of the plague to solve these nobles together and reap the wealth in the hands of these nobles.
At the same time, the scarcity of miracles can inspire various sects to pursue miracles, and regard triggering miracles as a lifelong goal.
Faced with an incurable plague, the Spiritual Medicine Sect led the sect into the City of Pain, which was a manifestation of giving up life in pursuit of miracles.
Mikel I's understanding of Miracle Moon far exceeded that of others, from launching a plague, eliminating ambitious nobles, and giving birth to the first miracle.
He took the initiative to expose the Golden Throne, led all the scholars and nobles of the kingdom to join the game, and jointly arranged the Blood Moon Eternal Life.
Then the Blood Moon Eternal Life hid a hand, but only he succeeded in getting half of the immortality, and the nobles such as Patos, even if they could stay awake, were only less than half of his.
All the people involved in the entire Blood Moon Eternal Life were chess pieces on his chessboard, and he was firmly calculated to death.
The only point he missed was that when he erased the consciousness of the great sage in the first miracle, he also "killed" Miracle Moon.
If Miracle Moon was still alive, it could understand the wishes of Mikel I and others, but its consciousness was wiped out. Before it was wiped out, it was influenced by the Great Sage and was full of disgust for Mikel I and other wishers who wanted eternal life.
Miracle Moon, which caused its consciousness to disappear completely, made Blood Moon's eternal life complete in a weird way.
Since everything must be completely ended, Mikel I must be killed first.
Wu Chang's eyes moved away from the Miracle Tree and began to look at other areas in the secret room.
The existence in the secret room that attracted the poison of mortals was not the Miracle Tree full of resentment in front of him, but the thing buried under the Miracle Tree.
He pushed aside the roots of the Miracle Tree entangled with flesh and blood, and saw a fist-sized sphere underneath, like a black hole wrapped inside.
Erosion core.
It can also be regarded as an old friend.
The erosion core in front of him is far larger than the erosion core condensed in the Moonlight Shelter, which is also a B-level copy. Its size is different from the normal size, which is exactly what attracts the poison of mortals.
Careful observation revealed that the roots of the Miracle Tree in contact with the Corrosion Core were constantly wriggling like sucking. Every time the Miracle Tree absorbed energy from the Corrosion Core, it could make the Miracle Tree grow.
Wu Chang realized that the Miracle Tree in front of him was not the Tranquility Sect moving the Miracle Moon down from the sky, but the Corrosion Core was used to ripen some fragments of the Miracle Moon into the shape in front of him.
The Corrosion Core can provide energy for the Mortal Poison to reversely absorb Lehman's divine power, and can also provide energy for the Miracle Walker Race to accelerate their growth and achieve the effect of ripening.
This reminded him of the prop description that popped up when he touched the Corrosion Core, which only had four simple words, the source of power.
After experiencing the Corrosion Copy, Wu Chang had a certain degree of understanding of the Corrosion Copy.
Regarding the Corrosion Copy, there are a lot of information that can be publicly consulted in the Administration, but there is very little information about the Corrosion Core.
This is definitely not that the Administration does not know the existence of the Corrosion Core, nor is it that they do not have enough information. The most likely situation is that the information about the Corrosion Core requires too high a level of authority.
With his current level of authority, he could not access it.
He had previously speculated that the Corrosion Core should be an important resource, but it would only work in the second or third layer of the Abyss.
The scene of the Tranquility Sect using the Corrosion Core to ripen the Miracle Tree completely confirmed his speculation.
Known as the source of power, the energy in the Corrosion Core could indeed be absorbed, but his current level was too low and the energy level was not enough, so he could not use it.
Facing the erosion core under the miracle tree, Wu Chang hesitated. If it was the erosion core condensed after the normal copy was broken, he would not hesitate and choose to let the poison of the mortal swallow it.
But it was different at this moment. He could feel that the erosion core in front of him belonged to the midnight cemetery copy.
He was not sure what impact it would have on the copy if the erosion core of the copy was destroyed before the copy was broken.
Is it simply to make the copy pollution value return to zero, or to be regarded as directly destroying the copy and directly settle.
If it was a normal copy, he might choose to gamble, but this copy was not possible at the moment.
Whether it was the desire to eliminate his current hidden dangers by completing the copy, or the resentment of the miracle moon that was red to black, they were all things he was determined to get, and there must be no mistakes.
Even if the copy would not collapse after absorbing the erosion core, it would be too extreme, and it might make the Tranquility Sect crazy and directly destroy the midnight cemetery copy.
After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to exit the secret room.
He would temporarily deposit the erosion core in the Tranquility Sect, and come back to get it after he completes the copy breakthrough.
After exiting the secret room, he did not continue to explore the Soul Light Cathedral, nor did he dispel the power in the Soul Light Cathedral as originally planned.
The harvest tonight was enough, and it was enough stimulation for the Fire Master. The leeks should be harvested one by one, and there is no rush.
The Fire Master blocked the Soul Light Cathedral for a whole day, saying that the Soul Light Cathedral caught fire and needed urgent repairs.
Within a day, all guards searched the cathedral in a carpet-style manner, checking every corner of the cathedral inch by inch.
Every mosquito that flew out had to be stopped to distinguish the male and female before being released.
Outsiders like Han Er were questioned in detail even though they were operating under the eyes of the recyclers throughout the process, and even the Fire Master came to check it out in person.
The result was of course that nothing was found.
The blockade lasted until the second night, and finally it could not be blocked anymore, because the night of the blood moon was coming.
As an important participant in the night of the blood moon, Han Er, who was cleared of suspicion, was released from the Soul Light Cathedral and took the carriage of the recycler to return to the gravekeeper's hut in the evening.
Waving goodbye to the recycler, Han Er turned to look at Wu Chang who walked out of the wooden house and asked curiously: "What did you do to make the Soul Light Sect so angry?"
Wu Chang shrugged and said: "There was such a big commotion that night, you should have heard the wind."
Han Er looked around like a thief, and whispered: "Did you really steal their holy objects?"
Wu Chang curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "How can it be considered stealing between us believers? We have different beliefs and competed fairly for the holy objects. In the end, the holy objects chose me."
Han Er waved his hand, not caring about Wu Chang's statement, and said anxiously: "Can you take it out and let me see it?"
"Now is not the time, you will know when the time comes." Wu Chang kept it a secret, returned to the gravekeeper's wooden house, took out the oil lamp and shovel, and started patrolling with Irene.
Haner and the client agreed to a time in the second half of the night, and before that, he had to complete a night patrol.
It was not yet time to break through the dungeon. If the completion rate was deducted for absenteeism when the gravekeeper searched for a day, it would not be worth it.
Just five minutes into the cemetery, Wu Chang saw a zombie not far away, staggering towards him. He skillfully swung the shovel and knocked the zombie down.
The zombie hit by the shovel stopped moving on the spot, and did not need to be purified by the Soul Cleansing Banner, nor did it get up again.
As the most experienced gravekeeper at the moment, Haner saw the abnormality at a glance and asked: "What happened in the cemetery on the day I was locked in the Soul Light Cathedral?"
Wu Chang shrugged and pretended to be relaxed: "Nothing, just a few gravekeepers died two days ago, and the cemetery they were guarding was out of control last night."
When the real me hid with social phobia yesterday, Wu Chang's body was not idle outside.
While patrolling, he found that zombies kept coming from the 43rd cemetery.
These zombies only had a thin blood moon power, so thin that they could only stand up once. They only needed to be knocked down and the blood moon power would dissipate.
After the patrol, he turned on the advanced stealth to take a look.
This was a big deal. The four cemeteries from 40 to 43 had completely fallen. There were at least hundreds of zombies crawling out of the ground.
Although these zombies were fragile, they were transformed by the blood moon power and were extremely powerful. Their attributes were not inferior to those of the Black Mountain bandits in Sui Sui Ping An.
The gravekeeper guarding the 42nd cemetery was a berserker with half-orc blood, strength, and close combat. He was the last person who didn't have time to introduce himself that day.
His strength is the weakest among the eight players. In addition, he is a close combat player who fights with injuries and fights for his life. When facing a wise dungeon boss, he may be frightened by his momentum, allowing him to grasp the rhythm of the battle and achieve the effect of defeating the strong with the weak.
But facing the unintelligent and numerous zombies, his berserker's desperate fighting style quickly turned into a life-threatening fighting style.
In the sea of monsters, even if he can kill ten zombies at once, as long as he is exposed and touched by the zombies, his blood volume will not be able to hold up over time.
Just as Wu Chang expected, Wu Chang saw him transform into a green-skinned orc, rush into the zombie group and kill everyone, and then fled in panic before he could last more than five minutes.
The orcs went to Cemetery No. 39 to ask for help, but Lei Hu came over and just took a look, then left a message saying that he would talk about it at dawn, and took the other players back to their respective cemeteries.
The loss of four cemeteries in a row allowed the zombies to spread around.
However, it is worth mentioning that they seemed to be afraid of something. Except for a few stray zombies, most of the zombies spontaneously bypassed Cemetery No. 44 and headed towards Cemetery No. 45 and further back.
Haner swallowed his saliva, moistened his somewhat dry throat, and asked, "So how many cemeteries are out of control now?"
Wu Chang thought for a while and said, "About fifteen."
As soon as this sentence came out, Haner's face changed instantly.
"You seem anxious?" Wu Chang asked.
Haner smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not be anxious? Remember what I told you before, the existence of the gravekeeper is also part of the blood moon immortality?"
Wu Chang nodded and said, "Remember."
Haner said, "The existence of the gravekeeper is actually equivalent to a barrier. Although the original purpose of its establishment was to concentrate the power of immortality in the cemetery and prevent it from being diluted by ordinary people outside, from the actual effect, the barrier formed by the gravekeeper did block the power of the blood moon immortality and prevented it from leaking out."
"The fall of the cemetery means that the gravekeeper is either dead or ran away. Either way, it will cause damage to the barrier."
Haner looked up at the full moon in the sky, his face full of worry.
"This means that when the blood moon immortality occurs tonight, the power of the blood moon will affect places outside the cemetery. I hope it will not affect the city of Serina."
Wu Chang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
What he wanted to say was that Haner's hope might be dashed.
As long as you have seen the resentment of the miracle tree, you will find that creating miracles requires strong emotions and desires.
Mikel I was able to trigger the first miracle because of the despair caused by the plague.
The Soul Light Sect controlled by the Fire Palm did not take any further action in the midnight cemetery copy that they had already controlled, and they secretly hid a miracle tree. It is easy to guess that their purpose is also to trigger a miracle.
Trigger a miracle that is no less than the first miracle and the eternal life of the blood moon.
The Fire Palm, who left after doing this, is definitely more reckless and has no bottom line than Mikel I. Wu Chang has reason to suspect that even if there are no zombies, before the eternal life of the blood moon, the Fire Palm will find a way to destroy the barrier and let the blood moon power directly affect the city of Serina.
But for Han Er, not knowing all this is a good thing for him.
The night patrol tonight ended quickly. Several people returned to the gravekeeper's cabin. Before they had time to play a few Landlords, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the cabin.
The three of them collected the cards and walked out of the wooden house. They saw nine knights, accompanied by two carriages, parked outside the wooden house of the gravekeeper.
Wu Chang took a quick look and found that among the nine knights, five of them had the power of the blood moon in their bodies. It was obvious that they were disguised as the resurrected nobles in the eternal tomb.
However, the strength of the blood moon power in their bodies was far inferior to that of the guy sitting in the carriage.
A bishop of the Soul Light Sect got off the carriage and walked in front of the two. He greeted Han Er and confirmed the details of the commission. Then he brought Han Er and Wu Chang to the carriage.
The bishop knocked gently on the door of the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lowered, revealing a face of a middle-aged man full of majesty.
The bishop introduced: "This is Duke Luz, who is also the client of tonight's commission. You will follow us in a while. You only need to open a tomb, and the commission will be completed."
At this point, the bishop showed a brilliant and weird smile.
"After the matter is completed, you will not only receive rewards from Duke Luz, but also join the Soul Light Sect. It's a very simple commission, right?"
