"It's a pity that it collapsed too quickly and there was no time."
Xu Yong murmured as he looked at the ruins.
Wang Chen said: "There is nothing to regret. Killers will always be killed. If they do this kind of thing, they must be prepared to lose their lives."
"You misunderstood, I mean there are still some people who haven't had time to search."
Xu Yong said.
"Uh... are you so short of money? Do you want to go abroad, or don't you want to go home?"
Wang Chen asked.
"No, there are still some people under house arrest in the camp. Men are used as coolies or as bait to face vicious beasts, while women are used as tools to vent their anger."
"The most miserable among them have been enslaved for two or three years." Xu Yong looked desolate. "These things I collected are going to be distributed to them. I think they are compensation, although it is very limited."
"That's why I say these guys didn't die unjustly."
Wang Chen shared his hatred for the enemy and subconsciously looked towards the ruins angrily.
Unexpectedly, with a "click", his neck could actually rotate, although it was still a little stiff.
He tried to slowly move his body joints and gradually regained his body's mobility.
"What are your plans next?"
Wang Chen asked as he moved his wrist.
"Go back to the vicinity of the camp, secretly contact the coolies, and kill the few scavengers who are left to guard. I will go back to the city after I have distributed the looted items to everyone."
Xu Yong responded.
How many people did the scavengers leave to guard the coolies?
Aren't you afraid that the coolies will rebel?
After all, the coolies should be strong men like Xu Yong, and it will be difficult to deal with them when there are more people.
Wang Chen was a little confused, but then he thought about it. I'm afraid that the mental state of those enslaved people was already very bad. Anyone with a weapon could probably keep an eye on them.
He has completely lost his spirit of resistance.
"What do you think? I'll go back to the camp with you later, but before that I still have things to finish." Wang Chen pointed to the ruins of the temple, "There is something buried under here that I haven't taken out. Your strength seems to be quite strong. Big one, can you help me lift the rocks?"
Xu Yong nodded.
"That's not a problem, my profession is Lifu."
[Lifu] is a profession that focuses on life. Although professionals in this profession can have strength beyond ordinary people, for ferocious beasts, pure strength is meaningless, and they must have enough lethality to kill them.
Moreover, the strength increased by the [Lifu] profession has not reached the point of breaking through ten guilds with one force.
So they climbed up the ruins!
Wang Chen identified the approximate location of the altar and called Xu Yong to carry the gravel together.
Xu Yong relied on the strength brought by his profession, while Wang Chen relied on the storage ring. He put pieces of gravel into the storage space, and when it was almost done, he walked aside and dumped it.
It's just that those broken stones that are too large require more energy. Wang Chen needs to find a way to break the broken stones before they can carry them.
Luckily for them, there weren't many large broken rocks like this.
Soon, the surrounding rubble was almost cleared.
When Wang Chen grabbed a floating stone, he discovered that the black energy that sealed the fountain of vitality had instead become a kind of protection, holding back the collapsed gravel.
It's like there is an invisible energy field.
"That's not a big problem. The Fountain of Life should not be harmed."
Wang Chen thought.
He cleaned up the floating gravel, took out the Heart of Darkness, and then pressed it against the black air lingering on the Fountain of Life.
The black energy was quickly drawn away by the Heart of Darkness, becoming almost invisible.
At this time!
The system prompt sounded in Wang Chen's ears:
[Release mission: Kill the Dark Tide Priest]
[Explanation: The Dark Tide Priest has been hiding inside the Fountain of Life, trying to transform the Fountain of Life to increase his power. Your act of destroying the seal of the Fountain of Life awakened it, which was devoted to transformation. The giant skeleton python is its servant! 】
[Reward: 30,000 lottery points]
Wang Chen was shocked!
He had vaguely speculated that there were still enemies to deal with!
But I didn't expect that this old man was hiding in the fountain of vitality.
If it weren't for the reminder of the system mission, he might have lifted the seal without any precautions, and then the dark tide priest suddenly jumped out and gave him a knife.
That Wang Chen really capsized in the gutter.
But now the situation is reversed, and he has to be the sixth child.
Wang Chen called Xu Yong and asked him to hold the Heart of Darkness to continue absorbing the black energy, while Sen Zhilan waved it.
The light on the stick flashes!
"Lightning barrier (not reversed)!"
Three lightning-shining barriers protected Xu Yong, floating quietly around him.
Wang Chen thought about it and felt that he was still worried, so he tore up another magic scroll.
"Guard of the Spring (Silver Level)!"
The waves of condensed water covered Xu Yong, and the waves flickered with electric light from time to time.
"Double protection, there will be no problem now."
Wang Chen, don’t worry for now!
He stepped aside to make other preparations, his eyes fixed on the altar.
The black air lingering between the three candlesticks became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely after the heart of darkness stopped beating.
The vitality of the spring of vitality also broke through the blockade of black energy and spread, and both Wang Chen and Xu Yong felt refreshed.
"Xu Yong! Get aside quickly!"
Wang Chen guessed that the Dark Tide Priest was going to cause trouble and shouted.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yong quickly held the Heart of Darkness and ran away in three steps and two steps at a time, and did not stop until he was outside the ruins.
See!
A figure filled with black energy slowly emerged on the stone platform above the altar.
It was wearing a black hooded cloak, and its hands that looked like chicken feet held a staff that looked like white bones.
"This is the first time we meet, so please give me a small gift!"
As soon as Wang Chen saw the figure appearing, he suddenly tore up the magic scroll in his hand.
"Blue Thunder Binding (Gold Level)!"
Green and white electric arcs danced in the magic array, and a huge chain made of lightning flew out, one end connected to the magic array, and the other end wrapped around the Dark Tide Priest.
The blue-white electric light is much more dazzling than the thunder element skill cast by Wang Chen. Just looking at it will make your eyes feel sore, as if you have been burned.
The Dark Tide Priest was trapped as soon as he stuck his head out. Just as he was about to break free, terrifying electric energy was transmitted from the magic circle. The thunder chain that was originally as thick as his forearm suddenly swelled to the thickness of his calf.
"howl--"
The Dark Tide Priest was shaken by the electricity and screamed miserably.
"pretty!"
Wang Chen felt a little relieved when he saw that the priest was tightly controlled and the elemental energy intensity of the gold-level scroll was so terrifying.
There was a flash of light between his fingers!
He held another handful of reversed Phoenix Spirit Butterfly powder in his hand and threw it towards the Dark Tide Priest.
This was Wang Chen's last inventory. In order to ensure that the butterfly powder could bring enough effects, he used all of it.
"In this case, there is only so much I can do for the time being."
Wang Chen turned his gaze to the Dark Tide Priest, with a purple light flashing in his eyes.
Now is the time to learn more about the Dark Tide Sacrifice and think about the next strategy against the enemy.
[Eye of the beast! 】
moment!
A lot of information about the Dark Tide Priest appeared in Wang Chen's mind!
