In comparison, Zhao Chenshuang's plan was even crazier.
She is also planning to use the dirty blood ritual, but she is planning to create a "hybrid".
Murlocs, pig-faced people, cursed villagers, and tourists themselves are mixed with different known bloods to create hybrids with different proportions - since the dirty blood ritual is likely to only be effective for "rotten blood", this process It's actually not troublesome.
It happened that Deng Wei and others could not see the castle on the top of the mountain, so these people were taken away by Zhao Chenshuang to arrest people. It is not known what the current progress is.
In comparison, Ning Yeyi was easier to find.
After going through the reset, if nothing unexpected happens, Ning Yeyi will definitely act according to the "message" left in advance. At least until she finds the other party, she will not deviate from that course of action.
Lu Ning quickly ran to the Moon Lake cave he found first. After plugging his ears in advance, he walked slowly along the cave and walked inside.
After walking several times, she was already familiar with her movements. She quickly passed through the glowing moss area and reached the underground cavity of Moon Lake.
On the water surface where the golden light shines, there is an extra crystal coffin, which is filled with water with golden light spots floating continuously. You can vaguely see a person sealed in this coffin, floating slowly, but without any independent action. .
Seeing this scene, Lu Ning immediately pulled out the shotgun, and when his fingertips touched it, the muzzle of the gun was suddenly filled with blue electricity.
boom!
The broken projectiles struck the crystal coffin not far away with a blue arc. Immediately, large cracks appeared in the perfect coffin. The current rushed into the water inside, and soon annihilated all the golden spots. The man in the coffin twitched slightly and opened his eyes.
Click!
The water flow turned into a blade, easily tearing the cracked coffin from the inside. A black figure with short hair jumped out instantly. Countless water splashes turned into water spikes in the air, and the figure was faster, still stained with water. He pressed his hand directly towards Lu Ning.
One hit missed.
Lu Ning's figure blurred for a moment, and in an instant he had already taken two steps away. With a flick of his hand, he eliminated the lightning on the shotgun. He picked up a bullet with his left hand, inserted it from the barrel, and put the gun back in the holster.
"Are you almost awake? The way I call people may be a bit rough."
She looked at Ning Yeyi who was shaking the water droplets from her hair and said calmly.
To be honest, if the clothes and some features were not still there, she probably wouldn't recognize the person in front of her.
Ning Yeyi's pupils had turned silver, almost blending into the whites of her eyes. Two cracks appeared on both sides of her mandible, and her mouth began to protrude forward. What was especially obvious was that there were long growths between the fingers of her hands. The webs of aquatic animals have emerged, and the corners of the eyes are also cracked toward the sides of the cheeks.
"Talk to me when you talk, my ears haven't recovered yet."
After a while, Ning Yeyi finally spoke. At this time, the water nail fixed in the air turned into water again and fell back into the lake like a heavy rain.
"Are you really here to share the divine blood?"
"Ah... I almost got lost." Ning Yeyi scratched her head, showing a frightened expression, but her face now looked slightly terrifying.
"Now it seems the effect is not bad."
"Let's leave. Those fishmen are probably coming soon after hearing the noise. Let's talk as we walk."
As the non-optional task "Investigating the Secrets of Moon Lake", its difficulty is judged to be not too great, which means that everyone can complete it. However, few people can resist the murloc's singing, so how can they investigate?
Ning Yeyi slowly told what happened after her "reset".
"I woke up in the cell and found that I was alone, and the security was increased. Someone came to patrol every hour to check, but I quickly noticed the marks on my clothes."
The traces were previously created through the rule that "things held by those who have not been reset will not be reset." Ning Yeyi's coat was double-layered. She put the required information in words she could understand. He tore off the mark on the inner fabric in the form of a picture, and then handed the torn off strip of cloth to Lu Ning for safekeeping - this way, she would not be left in the dark because of the reset.
Then at night, the tourists who had not gone to the castle returned to the village again and made a fuss. Ning Yeyi took advantage of the chaos to escape, and then found the Moon Lake Cave according to the reserved route map, avoiding the time reset at night. , then walked inside and began to test the method that everyone can use...
Destroys hearing.
In this various scenarios where death can occur at any time, it is no big deal to make a certain level of sacrifice. Not only tourists think so, but also the people who set up the scene seem to think so. When Ning Yeyi pierced her ears and could no longer hear the mermaid's singing, that mysterious power could no longer affect her. After verifying this, she continued on to the next project, which was to share the divine blood. .
The fish people were very happy and welcomed her into the lake. They gave her the ability to breathe underwater through some secret magic, and then took her through an underground waterway under Moon Lake and came to the real "Moon Lake".
It was in the heart of a mountain, a full moon illuminated by gold. The diameter of the lake was more than five kilometers, and it was completely different from the small crescent-shaped lakes outside.
In the mountain that is largely occupied by water, there is a rock wall sunken in. Inside is a cemetery with an area of about 200 square meters, used to place the corpses of the fish people's "gods".
Ning Yeyi saw "God" there.
Its body is huge, about seven or eight meters in length. It is piled at the end of the cemetery like a pool of mud. Eight transparent tubes extend from its body. What flows in the tubes is a sticky substance as bright as a star river. For liquids, the end of each tube is connected to a bag made of fish bubbles to collect the mucus that slowly flows out.
What surprised Ning Yeyi the most was the fact that this huge "god" was still alive.
That was the first time she realized this problem. For "god", "death" and "body death" are not the same concept.
Just like humans regard brain death as the end of life, "gods" seem to have certain criteria for judging this. At least in the eyes of the fishmen, their gods are already dead.
The fishman who led her in took off a half-filled fish bubble, replaced it with a new one, and then left the cemetery with Ning Yeyi. After returning outside, Ning Yeyi was awarded a shell mark by a fish-man who looked like the oldest, and then returned the same way.
Before she left, she took a look at the surrounding walls. They were full of faintly glowing symbols and pictures, which seemed to record a period of history.
Next, comes the water burial ceremony - a ceremony for the fish people to share the divine blood.
The ceremony requires the supply of an entire Moon Lake. The performer must lie in a specially made water coffin, inject divine blood into the body, and submerge it with golden water to simulate the necessary environment for "birth." The blood of the god will replace all the blood in the body within twelve hours, which will inevitably cause some physical changes. Then, when the gold in the water completely dissipates, the executor will be reborn.
The process was very simple, but it was broken by Lu Ning halfway through.
"Thank you for arriving in time. This ritual is really dangerous."
After Ning Yeyi finished talking about her experience, she expressed her gratitude to Lu Ning.
"If the water burial ceremony is completely completed, I will become a fish-man. Although I will gain power second only to 'god' due to the purity of my blood, I will never be able to leave here."
"Your ears..."
"I've almost recovered. The divine blood is indeed very powerful. Not to mention its recovery and strengthening effects, information can still be retained in the blood - even if it's only the fishman's part."
She reached out to brush her hair out of habit, but she touched the crack on the side of her face.
"Uh... Am I ugly now?"
Lu Ning looked at Ning Yeyi's somewhat terrifying face and nodded seriously.
"You can recover when you go back..."
"Forget it, I don't rely on my reputation to make a living." Ning Yeyi shook his head, uncovered this article himself, and continued, "The fish people cannot stay out of the water for more than an hour. With this restriction, no matter how strong their other abilities are, I don’t even want it anymore.”
Indeed, one hour is not enough to go up or leave this mountain range, which means you will be left in this scene forever.
"The second-level elimination method...a method of elimination other than death."
Neither Ning Yeyi nor Lu Ning expected that most first-level tourists were still stuck in the equation of "death = elimination". However, as they advanced, the elimination methods began to change.
"But, I haven't completely transformed yet. At most, I just need to replenish water. Relatively speaking, I don't have too many bloodline magics that I can use. Ah... it feels really good to gain strength."
Ning Yeyi said, stretched out her hand, and some green water squeezed out from some grass and trees on the roadside and formed a water ball in front of her. She opened her mouth and swallowed the water ball.
Lu Ning looked at the flowers and plants that were quickly drying up due to loss of moisture. She paused slightly and followed Ning Yeyi again before she noticed.
"The information you left is only the key content. I will tell you what I need to tell you again. Now let's go find Shen Xinyue together."
"Shen Xinyue? Have you never found her?"
"Cheng Wuling should have found her. Although we don't know when, we should be able to get another back-up from her." Lu Ning explained.
"Well, if you lead the way, will you say that you are acting as a backup, which means we have already failed?"
"Failed, everything was restored, but there are still some things that have not been restored... At least all the divine creations we know can avoid time reset, so the priority of time reset is actually lower, and real enemies can also take advantage of this effect Come and observe our movements.”
"To hear you say it, we haven't actually made any real progress."
"The benefits to you will be far less than the risks. This is what I learned from the first scene."
