While Lu Pingping and his party were camping and fighting monsters outside the forest, the real owner of the tomb was also dealing with his own work.
".Those damn outsiders! They dare to die in this temple and blaspheme the resurrection ceremony of our Lord."
Fanatic believers, angry at the defilement of their master's temple.
Catherine's guess was not wrong. No matter what the truth was, the Beast God cultists who had reached this point could no longer stop.
The ground was already covered with blood. A group of unlucky bandits met the real owner here. Each one of them had hung on farm tools such as dung forks and hoes. If the hoes with their own "death spirits" were also farm tools.
Among a group of believers, a woman dressed as a peasant woman has an appearance and temperament that are clearly inconsistent with her status. She is obviously the core of the team despite the heavy protection of her companions.
And if Catherine were here, she would find that although this was her mother, she was much younger than the "middle-aged peasant woman" in her impression.
The battle they had just experienced was nothing to these high-level priests, but Marian, the leader, looked at the corpse of the thief in front of her and fell into deep thought.
"Trouble"
No one is stupid. As the leader of the team and the person at the helm who has managed to survive so many years after the Church of the Beast God was destroyed, she has mastered a large amount of "Archbishop" and "Pope Pope" level religious knowledge and the mysteries of magic.
What was the situation outside? She looked all the way over, and she also understood that the seven plagues were engraved on it by them. They had been studying the history of that thing for at least seventy or eighty years.
But here, there is a little problem. Believers interpret prophecies for their own benefit, that is, all interpretations are in their favor.
The resurrection of the dead was interpreted as the resurrection of the dead god. They painted the appearance of their own gods in the murals. This was their expectation, and in a sense, it was private property.
But now, they have also experienced a real "resurrection of the dead". As the leader, Marianne naturally knows that it is not a real resurrection, but a "corpse mutation".
She has realized the truth, and realized that due to the wrong interpretations of her predecessors and ancestors, tracing the origins of her group was destined to be impossible.
But it couldn't stop.
"blasphemer, blasphemer."
"Sure enough, they are the apostles of misfortune who prevented our Lord from resurrecting. High Priest, give the order and let us clean them out completely!"
"This is a test, this is an opportunity for our Lord to witness our piety!"
Looking at the fanatical high-level believers in front of her, Marianne used to be filled with joy that could only be felt by the human heart, but now, her scalp felt numb.
Do you reason with fanatics? Do you want to reason with those fanatical believers who have been waiting for this day for decades, two or three generations? The predecessor and the former high priest made a mistake in interpreting the prophecy, and the tomb was built in vain. All the years of waiting and planning were in vain. This is more harmful than denying the other person's life.
The high priest knew that her authority came from her faith. If she dared to say these "blasphemous words", the next moment, all believers would kill her as the first priority in their lives.
"As the helmsman and controller of the church, you must not become a fanatic. On the contrary, you must understand God, understand God, and use God. You may not even be a true believer, but you must not be too close to God."
This is what the high priest who took office said to Marianne.
Eleven years ago, Marianne also said the same words when she was teaching her daughter, the future high priest.
This is not a coincidence. On the contrary, larger churches have similar teachings and unspoken rules. Those who are too devout and fanatical are suitable to be the leaders of the flock, but are not suitable to be the shepherds who guide the direction.
In many worlds, various churches may tell you that faith can solve all problems, but the boss of the boss who says this knows that this is a lie. If he also believes it and dares to do anything for his faith, then that church It is only one step away from complete madness and destruction.
Whether it is Marianne or Catherine, regarding the belief in beast gods, it is difficult to count them as devout true believers, let alone fanatics.
Like her daughter, she immediately realized that something was wrong and that the resurgence of the "Beast God" would only cause disaster.
So, don’t the believers in front of you know anything about it? No, there is probably nothing else in their eyes. They have sacrificed their lives in order to revive the gods, and there is no possibility of stopping.
Maybe there are a few outliers and rational people among them, but at this time, he is not stupid enough to speak out and provide an ideal analysis.
Marianne hesitated, but facing the high-level believers who were fanatically demanding a fight, she knew what to do. This was all she could do.
"Then, let us turn these heretics and blasphemers into sacrifices before our Lord is resurrected. Go, hounds of the bloodthirsty one, and hunt down those blasphemers!"
The high priest's order immediately excited these believers.
They immediately took action, taking advantage of the local geographical advantages, to start looking for the intruders in the tomb.
Beast god cultists, evil bone thieves, unlucky silver herders, red sand thieves, hungry mutant monsters, five forces gathered in this small group of underground tombs before Lu Pingping and his party arrived.
They killed each other underground, fought for each other, and fought each other to the death.
In the extra day and a half, countless life-and-death fights took place between the various forces in the catacombs.
But in general, the beast god believers who have mastered the geographical and institutional advantages have a certain advantage. In most cases, they have the initiative and are hunters rather than prey.
They first took advantage of the agency to separate those intruders who had taken the "robbery road" and focused on attacking the most numerous evil-skeleton bandits.
Their strength even forced the Evil Bone Bandits and Red Sand Bandits, who were originally fighting to the death, to engage in limited cooperation.
At this moment, two more high-level beast god priests blocked the Red Sand Pirates and Bandits.
Two people faced seven people, but the side with more people was completely at the bottom. Not only were the crazy beast god cultists not bad in strength, but they had experienced hundreds of battles, and they did not hesitate to die.
Seeing that a massacre was about to happen again, the party with more people was forced into a desperate situation.
Suddenly, the ceiling opens
"boom!"
The heavy object fell directly onto the Beast God cultist, knocking him away.
And how could his opponent miss this opportunity.
In an instant, flying knives, gunshots and evil magic sounded at the same time, turning the unlucky guy who was knocked down into a hornet's nest.
"Damn it!"
The remaining beast god cultists ran away, but before leaving, a "hate mark" was thrown on the attackers who were "reinforcements".
This is a common ability that many churches have. When you kill or completely offend a high-level or important person in a certain church, you must be careful about being cursed with this kind of curse. At that time, the troubles will be endless! The chase will last from beginning to end!
At this time, the attacker, Xue En, who had just fallen down, was looking at the surrounding environment with a confused look on his face.
A moment ago, he was knocking in that room, but in the blink of an eye, he was in this strange place.
Uh, the bottom of my butt is a little wet, maybe I got something bad sitting on it.
"Where are you? Who are you? Wait, what are you doing with your guns?!"
