Abnormal paradise - #512 - Chapter 505: Blackmail, Books and the Plague Land

When I returned to the Shennu settlement after two days, the environment had changed drastically.

The settlement square that was severely damaged by [Cold Land Aurora] has not only been repaired, but also been transformed into a more solemn preaching venue. Tens of thousands of black and red stone benches are neatly arranged around the Temple of Dreams, with a large scale. Extremely huge.

These stone benches, made from volcanic slag, contain a touch of volcanic power and are immune to cold waves. It is about three feet long, enough to accommodate twenty believers sitting side by side. If everyone recites prayers sincerely, the volcanic power in the bench will be stimulated to warm the whole body, so that the cold night will not hurt the body. Moreover, the believers’ will will be nourished by the prayers, keeping them full of energy throughout the day without any signs of drowsiness.

According to the leader of the settlement, who is now the beloved of the epic, repairing the settlement and renovating the square have almost depleted the meager wealth of the Shennu settlement. With only the limited share of the volcanic mine, it will take several years to recover.

But according to Ember, this costly construction project has many benefits. Not to mention how many believers it can attract to the Dream-Shifting Cult and how much faith it can increase. Just because it has greatly improved the living environment of the slaves at the bottom, Yi Yan has to give his cheap teacher a thumbs up.

You know, the cold wave is raging in the cold place, and the slaves at the bottom without flint will definitely freeze to death and frostbite.

The low-grade flint produced in the mine can last through the long night if it is heavy enough. However, boundless greed caused the intentional deprivation that Ananda had suffered to occur frequently and repeatedly, making it even more difficult for the low-level slaves who were already facing survival difficulties to support themselves. A large number of casualties occurred almost every night.

This in turn led to the birth of a large-scale corpse collection business in the Shen slave settlement.

Whenever the slaves who were alive to see the sun left the small stone houses where the heat disappeared, the body collectors would run straight to the quiet houses, collect the slave corpses, and transfer them to the believers responsible for building the altar for replenishment. The altar of thousands of miles outside the whole settlement.

With tens of thousands of warm benches, the number of casualties will be greatly reduced. Ember will definitely provide full support. However, the ignorant leader of the settlement complained to Ember. It will be difficult to ensure that the Wanli Altar can be repaired in time in the future.

“Fix it! Repair it! I wish I could destroy it with my own hands!”

Yi Yan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and caught a glimpse of the sullen face of the leader of the settlement. He thought that progress in strength did not mean progress in thought. Although the leader of the settlement had become a favored one, it would be difficult to change his philosophy in a day. All he could do was see how Ananda taught through words and deeds.

“Wait a minute, my cheap teacher is good at everything, but he is loyal to the Dream Picker to the point of foolish loyalty. If the Dream Picker wants his followers to be buried one day, he might respond on the spot! The slave who was finally saved will still be alive. Everyone has to fit in.”

Yi Yan raised his eyebrows, feeling that as a student, it was his duty to change the teacher’s misconceptions, but Ananda didn’t give him this chance at all and sent him to the Plague Land with a single finger.

“The Lord’s appearance the night before has aroused the vigilance of all parties, but once the wheel has started rolling, there is no reason to stop!” Ananda, whose face was still pitiful and his clothes were still ragged, showed a powerful momentum that made Yi Jin fearful.

Yi Yan thought to himself that using the two primary skills and various powerful means to defeat the soul song that was close to the god level should not be a problem, but if it were the current Ananda, he felt that he had no chance of winning.

A few days ago, he was just a slave who was about to die, but he was transformed by the Dream Picker into the top powerhouse among the near gods. Ember couldn’t help but pay more attention to this powerful existence that once dominated half of the world of ancient gods.

“The Plague Land and the Thunder Land are aware of it. The two major divine religions have repeatedly sent people to spy on intelligence in the past few days, but they don’t know that the great master of dreams has been fully prepared!” Ananda looked over suddenly, ” Ember, you will take a trip to the Plague Land as my master. The remaining power of the Dream Master is hidden there. By secretly activating it, you can bring the Dream World back to the Plague Land, and the [Plague Matrix] is the next big one. The main character of the banquet.”

[Tip: You have triggered the third link of the exclusive mission “The Road of Misery”, “Step forward”. Please go to the “Plague Land” to activate the remaining power of the “Dream Picker”. There are a total of seven hidden places of legacy power. You must activate at least four of them before you can take on subsequent missions. The more activations and the faster the speed, the greater the help you will get in subsequent missions. 】

“The great master of dreams planted seven [dream seeds] in the seven settlements in the Plague Land. After many years of nourishment, they have now blossomed and bear fruit. The endless dreams accumulated by all humans in the Plague Land over the years have gathered together. In the fruit!” Ananda looked at Ember, his indifferent eyes showing a hint of enthusiasm, “Ember, do you know what this means?”

“Students don’t know.” Yu Jin shook his head very honestly.

“Once the dream fruit is activated, the infinite dream will escape. Some of the ones belonging to the dead will be integrated into the Kingdom of Dream Picker under the inspiration of the dream master, while the other part will return to the place where they should have appeared. A Human beings who have never experienced the wonder of dreams suddenly sink into the sea of ​​dreams. In just a few days, they will abandon the mother body of the disease and become dream believers!”

“Hiss… so domineering?”

“So domineering!”

Seeing the astonishment on Yu Yan’s eyebrows, Ananda showed a slightly arrogant look: “Now I teach you the [Secret Eye of Dreams], and the fruits of dreams that are difficult for even gods to detect will be invisible to you. But you are not a believer in dream picking, so it is difficult for you to see them.” To unleash the full power of the Dream Eye, if you want to activate the Dream Fruit, you need to stare at it for at least an hour. Why not join the Dream-Collecting God Cult, and the time required will be greatly shortened.”

After saying this, Ananda looked at the embers and made it clear that he wanted his proud disciple to “find his way back.”

Yan Yan still declined, at least until [The Departed Walker] completed its upgrade, he didn’t want to attract lice to himself.

The dream picker is obviously not a good person, and he needs to deal with the Creator with the same solemn attitude.

“Oh, that’s all, you will figure it out one day.” Ananda sighed, waved his hand and waved a beam of light, which poured into Ember’s eyes, causing his Dark Eye to be upgraded to the Secret Eye of Dreams, which not only allowed him to see dreams The fruit also greatly increases the detection ability.

“Go ahead. The Beloved One values ​​you in every possible way, so you just settled in [Sick Village] in the name of delivering the flint.”

After saying this, Ananda closed his eyes and sat under the statue of the Dream Picker.

“Uh-huh…Teacher, do you just trust me so much?”

“What are you worried about?” Ananda did not open his eyes.

“Didn’t you say that Beloved Master Li Du values ​​​​students very much? What if, I mean just in case, he is really willing to spend a lot of money to win over students…” Yi Yan didn’t finish his words, but his meaning was already very clear. He said that he was nicknamed the Apostate Madman, why don’t you get some more tangible benefits as soon as possible?

The puppet girl standing aside glanced at Ember, thinking that there was no other person in the world who could rip off her teacher like this.

…

I don’t know whether Ananda was out of sincere care for the students, or was helpless because of Yi Yan’s shameful methods. In short, according to Yi Yan’s request, he entered two one-time battle cry spells into the [Blank Bible].

Yi Yan flipped through the pages of the Bible that were no longer blank, and happily took the puppet girl on a business trip.

“Hey, after my experiments in the big library, this [Blank Bible] can perfectly record the battle cry skills of up to three levels of gods. The so-called perfection means that it can completely copy the priority and special effect level, keeping them at the same level. Sublimated state! With the addition of two powerful battle cries from Teacher Cheap, plus one I developed myself, this trip to the sick village is completely risk-free!”

Yi Yan smiled slightly and stayed in the big library for two whole days. Others thought he was publicly venting his anger because he missed the secret treasure in the library. As everyone knows, Ember quietly reaped many benefits, not only upgrading the copy pen, but also completing many skills, and also officially putting [Annihilation Plague] on the starting line of the path of mystery, just waiting to go to the Plague Land to practice.

However, in terms of the highest value, it is still the rare item and equipment at the pinnacle of this epic – [Blank Bible].

Perfectly recording three god-level battle cries is equivalent to giving the battle cry inheritance an additional ninety points of data limit out of thin air, which is more than twice that of [Energy Core·Dragon Claw], further enhancing Ember’s combat capabilities.

In addition, the puppet girl’s willpower has improved after reading a large number of books from the Ancient Research Society, but to what extent it has improved needs to be proven in actual combat. What’s interesting is that during this contact with the Big Library, although she did not have a conversation with Andersen, she suddenly came up with the idea of ​​drawing a “fairy tale book” after seeing the role of the painter played by Ember.

Just affected by the relapse, this book does not look like it is for human children…

“Well, as a professional, I do have to praise you for your rapid progress as an artist, but as a good and lawful person, I’m worried that you will end up creating an incredible evil book!”

On the way to the Plague Land by borrowing the plane of shadow, the puppet girl kept sketching with a copy pen. Ember took a moment to take a look, and his eyes almost burst out. With his current level of perception, only by using the [Secret Eye of Dreams] he had just obtained could he break through the thick fog that shrouded the drawing paper and clearly see the strange “living things” painted by the puppet girl.

With a long nose, intelligent eyes, and tentacles all over the body, the vaguely human figure, combined with the current knowledge, allowed Yi Jin to reluctantly deduce that this should be a normal dream-picking believer, after becoming a near god or even a god.

Someone like Ananda who couldn’t even find any inhuman characteristics was obviously an abnormal case.

Looking at the puppet girl who couldn’t draw straight lines at the beginning, but now she can draw lifelike dynamic paintings, Yi Yan, the person who guided the introduction step by step, besides praising the puppet girl’s genius, is worried that the “fairy tale book” she calls may Some troubles are coming.

“Thank you for the compliment, I will keep up the good work!”

The puppet girl smiled at Ember, but she seemed to only hear the first half of the sentence.

However, Yi Yan had some doubts. Her words of “keep up the good work” were for the second part of the sentence.

Regarding this, Ember felt the need to have a serious talk. Of course, the original intention of discussing in detail is not because the copy pen is occupied. The upgraded blood pen spirit can temporarily detach from the pen body. At this time, it is still working conscientiously in the [ecological field]. Mainly because he saw that the copywriting brush was constantly absorbing the weird atmosphere in the painting, attacking towards a higher level, and this improvement in turn fed back on the book, making the weird painting even more indescribable.

Before going offline yesterday, Yi Yan still remembered that he could see the book screen at will, but after just one night, he had to use the secret pupil of dreams to see through the thick fog.

Such an astonishing change forced him to take it seriously.

“Let’s make it clear in advance. Someone else has entrusted me with the custody of the bloody pen spirit in the copy pen. I have no objection to whatever you draw, but we can’t cause any trouble.”

“Don’t worry, if something goes wrong, I will stop in advance.” Feeling the seriousness of the ember, the puppet girl replied seriously, “Father said that using your mind to describe the weird things in the world of the ancient gods will have a great impact on me. Improving your will is very helpful. If you don’t use this method, I’m afraid I won’t be able to block the whispers of the gods for you, and my intuition tells me that the final book will have a huge effect, and maybe it will be initially reflected in a few days.”

Hearing this, Yi Yan smiled and shook his head. Unexpectedly, the puppet girl paid more attention to the whispers of the gods than he did. Seeing that the puppet girl was full of confidence, he followed her.

During the conversation, the two of them had left the cold land where the cold wave was raging and entered the plague land where death was everywhere.

The most striking feature of this vast area occupied by the mother disease is the pervasive poisonous mist. Even if the strong winds in the cold land can blow away the light green poisonous gas at the junction, as long as the wind stops, the poisonous gas will come back and occupy this land again. .

Yi Yan did not rush deep into it, but observed the landform features. Different from the cold places with mountains, the world in front of him appeared to be extremely flat. If there were more flowers, plants and trees that were accustomed to the toxic environment, and the poisonous gas could be removed, here Definitely very suitable for human habitation.

But according to his understanding, the seven major settlements in the Plague Land were all built in cracks in the ground.

Although this method can reduce the harm of poisonous gas on the surface to a certain extent, the bad effects of the Plague Land have already penetrated deep underground, and will slowly poison the humans living in the cracks in the ground.

Before Ember came, he was very puzzled. Since the environment was so bad, why he didn’t move to a place suitable for survival. However, when he found a huge crack in the ground near the diseased village, the toxic dark green gas almost enveloped the sky, and he suddenly realized that the mother body of the disease was It is to use the natural dilemma caused by the cracks in the ground to trap humans!

“Of course a cold place is not a good place, but if you really want to escape, you can still do it. As for here…”

Yi Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold gaze looked through the thick lenses of the crow’s mouth mask at the beloved Li Du who rushed out of the crack in the ground to greet him.

The puppet girl beside him, after finishing drawing the “Dream Picker Believer”, turned the book to a new page, continued to hold the pen in hand, and poured poison on the beard-bearded Beloved on the white paper. Picture it…
