The towering tree man, whose whole body was covered by the holy fire and burned into a huge torch, died, and his huge body turned into a towering mountain of flames.
When the big and small cats in the rescue team were still thinking about how to cross the Flame Mountain and enter the temple of the Mother of Night inside, pouring rain fell from the sky and extinguished the flames.
It's just that the rain that fell was very turbid. Like the black rain that Cingmao Village encountered that day, it was corrupted rain mixed with a lot of black mist.
Fortunately, the gods seemed to have anticipated this situation, and erected a rain-proof barrier in advance to surround the rescue team.
When it rained last time, the kittens were in a hurry to catch fish and had no time to play. This time, when the flames went out and there was nothing to do, they started to play.
Naughty kittens, the cats moved to the edge of the rain shelter and tentatively stretched out the shovel.
Seeing that the shovel was not blocked by the barrier, they carefully extended their cat paws to catch the water and play in the rain.
Just after stretching out for a moment, their cat's paws were covered with black rain and turned black.
Soon, the kitten corrupted by the black rain let out a piercing scream, quickly hid away from the big cat, and put the cat's paws to the edge of the torch to bake.
When the black rain was dried and evaporated, their pain disappeared, and they were a little eager to continue playing with their paws in the rain.
The civets are also cats, and the joy brought by this kind of death is simply irresistible.
"Stop playing, or you'll pull the cat's whiskers!"
Isis caught the most naughty kitten, pulled her cat's beard, pulled hard, and warned fiercely.
Cat whiskers are a weakness for civets.
But this weakness is not physical, but mental.
Once a kitten's beard breaks off or becomes stained and no longer looks beautiful, other kittens will laugh at it.
"A cat is a beardless cat!"
This dirty word unique to the civet tribe is extremely lethal to the face-conscious kitten.
Once it is called a "beardless cat", the kitten will be depressed for at least a whole day.
After being frightened by Isis with this terrible punishment, the five kittens immediately became obedient.
They sat in rows, huddled together, playing with each other's cat tails, waiting for the black rain to stop.
…
Hu Jingkun is also pulling the cat’s beard.
He sighed while playing with Bailu and looking at the rescue team on the screen.
"I'm really poor..."
Miracles only cost 5 points of faith to change the weather in some areas of the world, thus achieving the effect of heavy rain.
Initially, what Hu Jingkun wanted was a clean rain, not a black rain.
Just a miracle set according to his thoughts, the cost of faith was actually as high as hundreds of points, making the poor god shake his head crazily.
——The clouds in the black fog world are rich in high concentrations of black fog. If you want to make clean rain, you need to spend a lot of faith to purify the clouds, which is not worth the gain.
A certain poor god couldn't bear to spend such a large amount of faith, so he only chose the ordinary rain miracle.
Anyway, just give the rescue team an "umbrella" and let them wait for the rain to stop.
Bitter little kitten, leave your faith to the gods.
"Lord Kami, is Sister Kikyo in the temple?"
Bai Lu, whose beard was being pulled by the Lord God, was not worried about his beard being torn off at all, and asked with a grin.
She knew that Lord Kami just liked to play with cats and didn't really use force, so her initial fear gradually turned into indifference.
——Being played with by a god is probably a beautiful thing, and no cat would dislike it.
"The person from Platycodon is not here, but the soul should be there."
Hu Jingkun clicked on the Civet Village information and took a look. After confirming that the number was still 48/49, he responded.
After the believer dies, the soul will go to the god's kingdom, where he will be reincarnated as a petitioner, praying to the god forever and provide faith.
Just like the previous kitten Amethyst, after death, her soul enters the large light ball above the civet village and becomes the petitioner of the Cat God.
Once you become a petitioner, you are no longer a living person...a living cat.
Kikyo's tail is raised, but she is still in the civet clan's count. Obviously she is dead but not completely dead. She has not yet become a petitioner of the Mother of Night, so she can be saved.
As for where the soul of Platycodon will be... nine times out of ten, it will be in the temple of the Mother of Night carried by the nurturing tree.
"Thank you, Mother of Night, Lao Tie, for the opportunity. Thank you very much~"
Hu Jingkun rubbed Bai Lu's belly and said with a smile.
What will be in the temple of the Mother of Night is really exciting.
…
After waiting for about ten minutes, the black rain in the sky finally stopped.
The rainwater on the surface cannot find any organisms that can corrode it, and it quickly seeps into the soil, making the ground dry.
They will slowly release black mist over a period of time, continuously raising the darkness index here.
It is worth mentioning that in the area outside the black forest, the concentration of black fog is much higher than that in the forest. There is no light source to provide vision, and things cannot be seen clearly from three to five meters away.
Even the civets who are resistant to the black mist cannot survive for too long without the torch in an environment of this density.
…
After the rain stopped, the remains of the tree people had turned into charred mountains emitting white smoke.
The rescue team carefully avoided those parts that were not extinguished and moved through the coke mountain bit by bit.
Fortunately, their destination was not far away. After walking for a few minutes in the Coke Mountain, they arrived outside the temple surrounded by Coke.
It is different from the wooden temple of the Cat God.
The temple of the Mother of Night was built using special construction techniques. The overall shape is like hollowing out a huge rock to build a temple.
The outer wall of the temple is inlaid with a large number of gold and gemstones, the mother of night's faith logo, which is very majestic.
It was just that after a fire, this majestic temple had been burned black and looked a bit miserable.
"Mother...is this...the...temple of the Mother of Night?"
Hongye stuck out his tongue and said breathlessly.
The civets are intolerant of high temperatures, so the environment here is unbearable for them and they need to dissipate heat.
Kittens will stick out their tongues to dissipate heat. Hongye is in the form of a cat girl, but she also subconsciously sticks out her tongue to dissipate heat.
And there is a serious problem, the ground here is hot to the cat's feet.
At this time, there were two kittens lying on Hongye's shoulders, carrying two kittens in both hands, and one on his head.
The paws of these kittens are too tender to withstand the high temperature on the ground, so they can only crawl to the red-leafed big cats for shelter.
"Um."
Isis stood in front of the temple made of pitch black stones, feeling a little nostalgic.
She grew up in another temple of the Mother of Night. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to step into the temple of the Mother of Night again after so many years.
——Although at this time, she no longer believes in the Mother of Night.
Thinking of the cruel deeds of the Mother of Night and her Holy See, and comparing them with the kindness of the Cat God, Isis shook her head and took the lead in walking in.
"Let's go in and take Kikyo home."
…
[Your believers enter the temple of a strange god, and after destroying the core of the temple, they can plunder the accumulated faith]
Looking at the new prompt that suddenly popped up in the game, Hu Jingkun raised his eyebrows.
What is certain is that the Mother of Night did fall into a deep sleep.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for believers of other gods to touch his temple without any reaction.
If it were Hu Jingkun, if he saw an enemy entering his lair, no matter whether there was a problem or not, he would definitely beat him up first!
After all, according to the game's prompts, if believers destroy the core of the temple, they can help the gods to plunder their faith.
If those believers didn't want to do bad things, what would they do by running into the temples of other gods?
"Don't blame me, it's because this belief is so fragrant."
Hu Jingkun touched his chin and gave Isis the order to find the core.
Since the Mother of Night sleeps so soundly, he, an enthusiastic adventurer who likes to go into villagers' homes and rummage through boxes and cabinets, must help sort out the clutter in the temple.
——Dear, your temple has too many beliefs, which is not conducive to unity. Give some away and let the cat help spend it!
