Chen Chuan walked into the camp, and when he came out, he handed the leftover object into Xu Chan's hands.

"Old Xu, while I'm away, you will still be responsible for keeping this relic. If something unexpected happens, it's up to you to decide what to do, without taking my side into consideration."

Xu Chan took it and Su Rong said: "Supervisor, I understand."

After Chen Chuan explained, he went back to make preparations. After all, he didn't know what was going on in the camp over there. The skinner had said before that an unknown ceremony was being prepared in the camp, so he had to be prepared no matter what.

He packed up some weapons and items, put them into a bag, and then picked them up. He held the Snow Lord Sword in the other hand and walked to the edge of the earthworm. He greeted Chaoming and waited for it to flap its wings.

After flying into the air, he jumped down several times from above, and then ran quickly among the insect waves.

The insect tide has become much sparser on the surface now, but it is still full of insects on the ground. The insects vary in size, some are as small as rice grains, and some are as big as water tanks. At this moment, he stepped into it.

, as if something had been touched, they began to gather towards him one after another, and flapped their short wings, trying to jump and fly towards him.

The most terrifying thing about these bugs is their number. Once they envelop the entire person, they will keep coming one after another until they are swallowed up.

After he stood on the ground, there was a sudden explosion, and a torrent that broke through the air wall immediately knocked away all the surrounding insects, and then rushed out at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and among the insects

A road was plowed that would not be closed for a while.

Relying on this explosive high speed, Chen Chuan rushed towards the camp location indicated by the skinner.

The location he explained was actually only a rough range, because this person was originally moving with a large army and did not have the ability to distinguish directions in a blended area. He only knew the general surface features.

But this didn't bother him. As long as he knew that the camp was facing the wide and long side of the rock, even if he couldn't find it at first, it wouldn't take much time to circle around it.

Fortunately, there was no need to go to such trouble, because he soon discovered some traces of campfires ahead that had not been completely burned out. Although large numbers of insects were crowded around, they deliberately avoided them, which pointed him in the direction.

In less than two minutes, he arrived outside the camp and stopped near the campfire in front. Immediately, there was a rumble behind him, and all the nearby insects were blown away by the blast of air.

He glanced inside a few times. Although the insects were outside and did not enter, this did not bring him any sense of security. Instead, it aroused his vigilance.

This is a place that even insects don't want to enter, so it's obvious that there is something inside.

After taking a few glances, he stepped into it before the swarm of insects came around again, and Chao Ming followed from behind, hovering in the sky to detect the surrounding situation for him.

After walking about ten steps inside, he found that the entire camp was quietly deserted. It seemed that the camp had been abandoned a long time ago. The surroundings seemed extremely quiet, and at this moment, he felt a sense of sadness rising in his heart.

A sense of danger.

He stopped, thought for a moment, and then focused on the spiritual mark in his hand. As if just inadvertently, Professor Xue walked past him, moved half a step forward, and looked around the camp.

He opened his eyes and said: "Well, this situation..." He looked in one direction and said, "Let's go over there first."

Having said that, we should go ahead.

Chen Chuan followed his footsteps and walked in that direction. After bypassing a group of scattered tents, he saw an area surrounded by barbed wire. The ground inside was covered with wooden stakes.

It was inserted there in a certain pattern, with a slightly raised flat ground in the middle, and something covered with cloth, but the thing inside seemed to have been damaged.

Chen Chuan took a few glances and immediately made a judgment: "This is a secret ritual."

Professor Xue said: "I remember that you are familiar with the esoteric rituals. You are right, but this is not the old way here." He walked over and came to the cover and said, "Open it and take a look."

.”

Chen Chuan stepped forward and used the Xuejun knife to open the piece of cloth. He saw that inside was a scratched and crushed wooden statue, and his original appearance could be vaguely distinguished.

Professor Xue knelt down and took a few glances, and said, "Well, the style of the early people is correct. Judging from the layout here and the statue, this is some kind of ritual of the early people.

The People of the Beginning had a large number of rituals for communicating and exchanging sacrifices with the opposite beings. After the Linax Federation occupied Yinglu, they obtained many ancient classics from the People of the Beginning. In addition to the fighting secrets, they were secret rituals.

most.

You must know that they ate a lot of it during the Tantric Ceremony of the First People, so they used it all later."

Chen Chuanchuan: "If you look at it this way, the strength of the original people was not weak at all. How did they fall to this point?"

Professor Xue said: "Because the original people were not one body, they themselves were divided into dozens or hundreds of states and thousands of tribes, and they had been vendetta against each other for thousands of years. When the immigrants from the Western Continent arrived, they still

Those who actively help to kill their compatriots, well, in their eyes are not like that, but they are enemies for generations.

Rather than saying they died at the hands of the Linax Federation, it would be better to say they died due to the combined efforts of our own people and foreign enemies."

He commented: “In this world, any large country is difficult to be broken from the outside. Only when there is a problem within itself can it be exploited or even broken.

Well, I'm going too far, let's take a look at this first..." After looking outside a few more times, he said, "This ceremony should be a ceremony of transfer of sustenance and transfer. The people of the Linax Federation seem to have a lot of ideas.

They hope that they should obtain the power of storage from a certain existence.

It roughly followed the original ceremony layout. Well, some changes were made. They used metal sheets and wires to replace the cornflower leaves and Varro tree branches. If you really can't find suitable ritual items, it doesn't matter if you use this.

Questions can also ensure that the ceremony goes ahead.

But the ceremony itself is the process of reaffirming the original contract, because the existence on the other side will try every means to deprive you of the power you want to obtain, so in order to ensure that they cannot cheat anyway, this requires the completeness and detailed restoration of the ceremony.

ensure.

Sufficient and tedious preparation is the prerequisite for executing the contract. If it is not sufficient, not only will it not be completed, but it will leave loopholes for the other party to exploit. You must know that each of those ritual rules has been summed up with countless lives and flesh and blood.

Nothing is superfluous.

As for the current situation, it is obvious that the ceremony was carried out in a very hasty manner, possibly because of the threat of insect quicksand, so it had to be done. However, such execution will cause more problems. I wonder if the person in charge of the ceremony does not know, or does not care.

, or have other plans."

Chen Chuan heard that he was very knowledgeable and said, "I didn't expect Teacher Xue to know so much about esoteric rituals."

"How should I put it..." Professor Xue smiled, "My ancestors once served as high-level officials within the old state religion, and my family has studied this aspect. Although I am incompetent and have embarked on another path, I have been influenced by what I have heard and seen.

You still know a little bit."

Chen Chuan nodded, looked around and said, "Teacher Xue just said that this ritual is to communicate with the existence on the other side, thereby transferring power?"

Teacher Xue looked at the claw marks on the broken statue on the ground and said: "The ritual itself should not have been successful, and from this situation, something else came along with the loopholes in this ritual."

Just as he was talking, Teacher Xue's figure suddenly felt a faint fluctuation, and at the same time, his second self also showed a trace of blurring.

When Chen Chuan raised his head, he suddenly discovered that the surrounding scene had changed. He was no longer standing in the camp, but in a wilderness.

There is a huge cowhide tent in front that is very characteristic of the original people. Not far away is a burning bonfire, and in the tent, there is a strange sound at this moment, which is like a rapid tearing of flesh and bones and gnawing of bones.

sound.

And right at the door of the tent, there was a small pile of bones that had not been chewed clean. It looked like they were all human bones. There were also torn clothes, twisted and smashed implants and guns mixed in.

Chen Chuan turned a step at this time so that he could have a better look at the situation inside the tent. However, just such a step seemed to disturb the things inside, and the sounds inside suddenly stopped.

After a while, the tent was lifted up, and a woman who was two meters tall and wearing eyeshadow walked out of it.

She had twin ponytails, skinny limbs, and sharp nails on her ten fingers. The exposed limbs were covered with blue-black scales, her face had some kind of covering bone, and there were many coverings on her body that seemed to be

A breach made by forcible squeezing and tearing.

Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, because he saw a slight light overflowing from the holes. This was the power of spiritual awareness, and he could feel that these powers were not used to repair wounds, but due to the power of spiritual awareness.

It occurs when the strength is too abundant and spreads throughout the body, causing the body to be unable to bear it.

When the woman looked at him, there was an almost crazy and salivating look in her eyes. She seemed to regard him as some kind of food, but she also seemed to be afraid of something. She did not rush towards him for a moment, but leaned down.

He reached out with one hand and picked up a long and thick stick from the ground.

After taking a few glances, Teacher Xue said: "There are signs of high-level spiritual power infusing her body, and some of the power is used to transform her body. Otherwise, she would not be able to withstand the accumulation of these powers.

But no matter how much there is, it will be gone. The being behind her is obviously very stingy with her, and only keeps her existence and does not want to give her too much, but..."

He reminded Chen Chuan, "Even so, the power she possesses now has exceeded the limit of a fighter normally defined. You have to be careful."
