This weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel

Shansang Ancient City.

"Zhou Zhuangshi!"

"You're finally back!"

"We thought you had an accident!"

Zhou Ji was recognized by several officers as soon as he walked into the city. The Woniu Mountain area is only so big in total, with a maximum population of only more than 100,000. As the most famous local hero, there are quite a few even in Shansang City. fame.

Zhou Ji felt that the town was lifeless, the streets were covered with dead vines and weeds, and all kinds of debris and garbage seemed to have not been cleaned for months.

Every soldier looked very tired, and the civilians in the city were even more skinny. Their eyes were almost dull and numb. A depressing and even weird atmosphere permeated the city.

Something doesn't feel right.

For a moment I couldn't tell what went wrong.

"Brother Zhou!"

At this time, a young man dressed as a general came over. He looked to be in his thirties, but his actual age must be younger. He was wearing a piece of badly worn armor, with a sword hanging from his waist. He was excited because of his excitement. His eyes were red.

Feng Yi.

One of the guards of Shansang City.

He had a life-long friendship with Zhou Ji.

"Great, I know that my brother is very skilled in martial arts. How could he easily die at the hands of a foreign race outside the city? It's just your left arm..."

"I tried to assassinate the leader of the dragon lizard people, but unfortunately my skills were inferior and I failed. Now I am very lucky to have saved a life." Zhou Ji talked about his experience in one word, "How was the situation in the city during this time?"

Feng Yi sighed: "Due to the constant harassment by the aliens every day, the soldiers in the city are very tired, the food and grass in the city are almost exhausted, and the city lord is preparing to hold a large-scale scarlet festival..."

"What did you say? Scarlet Festival?"

The city lord Wang Zhi has been obsessed with sorcery for the past ten years. There are many special methods or array creations that require the consumption of human and animal blood every month, and even human sacrifices to maintain them.

Although most of these methods are very cruel, the vast majority of people who were sacrificed alive in the past were also criminals who committed crimes. Even if the punishment was too severe, it was still acceptable.

Why do we need to hold a festival at this time? It’s not the time to offer sacrifices yet!

Feng Yize explained with an ugly face: "In order to gain enough power to compete with the foreign races, the city lord selected a hundred children from the whole city to sacrifice to the Scarlet Mother."

Zhou Ji was furious: "Is Wang Zhi crazy?!"

No wonder I felt something was not right since I came back.

He finally realized that the children were gone.

Feng Yi hurriedly said: "Brother, be careful what you say!"

Zhou Ji was furious: "Be careful what you say? In order to practice evil methods over the years, he has become more and more serious. Now he even doesn't spare his children. What is the difference between this kind of behavior and that of an animal?"

Feng Yi sighed: "Although the city lord's approach is too extreme, the whole city is facing an extremely difficult situation now. If we can't break the situation, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death..."

"If the price of living must be paid by children, why would a man be willing to die?"

Zhou Ji turned around directly: "I want to see Wang Zhi!"

Feng Yi dissuaded him: "Brother Zhou, don't do stupid things. The city lord's temperament has become increasingly weird in the past two years. Not only will it be impossible for you to convince him, you may even anger him."

"So what? If I turn a blind eye to this, I will be ashamed of my foster father's teachings!"

Zhou Ji entered the city in advance this time to make an effort. If he could convince the city lord in a peaceful way without using violence or bloodshed and sacrifice, and finally bring the city to Hang Yu without any bloodshed, this would undoubtedly be the most ideal result.

in other words.

Regardless of whether something like this happened or not.

Zhou Ji would try to find a way to meet with Wang Zhi to test his attitude.

In order to practice the secret method of evil skills, Wang Zhi always lives in seclusion on weekdays, and he doesn't know what his current situation is!

Of course.

Before meeting Wang Zhi.

Zhou Ji did not forget about the players either.

He told Feng Yi everything about Lord Hang Yu and asked him to make arrangements as soon as possible to bring in the twelve Natural Disaster Army soldiers. If his negotiations failed or even failed to come back, these twelve Natural Disaster Army soldiers could Become an internal agent and help Master Hang Yu seize the city by force.

After making detailed arrangements.

Zhou Ji went directly to the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was transformed from the former county government office. It covers an area of ​​more than 100 feet long from north to south and 50 feet wide from east to west. There are more than 40 houses, all covered with tile roofs, and the roof ridges are decorated with animal pottery components. There are several meters high walls all around. of walls.

At this moment, the entire city lord's palace was shrouded in a layer of red mist, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside from the outside. After some thought, Zhou Ji did not choose to report it, and directly climbed over the wall and entered.

There is a large expanded courtyard in the center of the city lord's palace.

I saw a crystal the size of an egg floating on the central altar.

This object is the divine luck stone bred in Shansang County. It can not only form a barrier near Shansang County to block the erosion of the nightmare of the abyss, but also has the function of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The entire altar exuded a strange aura.

Although Zhou Ji couldn't see it with the naked eye, he could feel that with the altar as the center, some kind of secret and dark formation covered the entire courtyard, and within this range were placed hundreds of things similar to large vats.

When Zhou Ji came closer, he saw that his eyes were about to burst.

The ones placed in the tank were clearly young children.

Although most of them seem to be still breathing, they are already in a coma and dying. There is some kind of force that is constantly sucking out the vitality and soul of the children. They will definitely die within a day or two at most.

Zhou Ji decisively turned around and pulled out his sword. A high-pitched tiger roar exploded, and a burning tiger-shaped sword energy bombarded the altar in front. The powerful force instantly destroyed a corner of the altar.

The altar was damaged.

The ground shook.

The formation was terminated.

This will naturally attract attention.

Nearly twenty burly, masked guards heard the sound and arrived.

These guards of the city lord's palace are all close soldiers trained by the city lord through unknown means. Although they are all mute and cannot speak, they are quite powerful and they are loyal to the city lord.

Zhou Ji was not afraid of being surrounded, but instead raised his knife and shouted loudly: "Old Wang Zhi, get out of here!"

"What a courage!"

A man in red clothes walked out of the soldiers. This guy was at least seventy years old this year, but he looked younger than Zhou Ji, but his temperament gave people a sinister and cold feeling. He was the former Shansang County Lieutenant and now the City Lord Wang Zhi.

"How dare Zhou Jiqian ruin my important affairs!"

"Wang Zhi, you were once a loyal and loyal man, why did you sink to this level and do such a dirty thing!"

Wang Zhi said calmly: "What do you know, ordinary man? Only by summoning more power of the Scarlet Mother can we protect this city. Compared with the death of everyone and the extinction of blood, the price paid is nothing."

Zhou Ji angrily rebuked: "Don't deceive yourself. Rather than trying to lead the people to survive, it is more to satisfy your own selfish desires and ambitions. You are not worthy of sitting in this position now."

Wang Zhi suddenly laughed, his laughter unusually harsh and crazy.

Zhou Ji asked: "What are you laughing at?"

"Of course I am laughing at you for being stupid. Who are you worthy of dictating in front of me? But what you said is absolutely right. I am always just for myself!"

Wang Zhi's expression became more and more crazy: "Everyone in this city is just a pig or sheep in captivity. The only meaning of these people's existence is to please the Scarlet Mother, even you!"

Hopeless!

This guy has gone completely crazy!

Zhou Ji's face darkened. He had realized that Wang Zhi's mind had been completely corrupted and he had turned into an unscrupulous and profit-seeking monster at this moment!

Negotiations are meaningless under such circumstances.

It is impossible for Wang Zhi to hand over this city obediently, but if he can take this opportunity to kill him, the lord can take the opportunity to enter this area and become the new leader of this place.

"Death to the old thief!"

Zhou Ji chose to strike first, condensing the flame breath directly on the blade, and struck Wang Zhi with a fierce tiger move. As a result, four or five soldiers rushed up to block the blow with their bodies.

A dozen other soldiers also quickly came up with weapons.

Zhou Ji couldn't care less at the moment. He used the tiger sword technique to stand with these soldiers. Although these soldiers were not weak, they were not so strong that they could not cope with them.

After a fierce fight.

Although Zhou Ji was injured in more than ten places, he succeeded in cutting down nearly twenty of his soldiers.

What confused Zhou Ji was that Wang Zhi was watching the show from beginning to end. He just watched helplessly as all twenty of his loyal bodyguards died under Zhou Ji's hands. This had to be said to be very strange.

Wang Zhi smiled coldly, "You have become weak!"

Zhou Ji said in a deep voice: "It's enough to kill you!"

"Haha, you don't know anything about the power of foreign gods, so I'll let you experience it today!"

A dark red bone appeared in Wang Zhi's hand at some point. This bone seemed nothing special at first glance. It looked like a skull fragment of a certain creature. But if you feel it carefully, you will find that there is a strong oppression from this mysterious bone. feel.

While talking.

Wang Zhi lifted the skull and activated some kind of evil magic.

The twenty corpses of the soldiers at the scene changed. Their flesh and blood shrank and disappeared at an extremely fast speed. Large groups of scarlet aura evaporated from them, and finally quickly gathered in front of Wang Zhi and turned into four bloody giants.

Each giant is about four meters tall, made of flesh and blood as thick as wax, and exudes a disgusting stench!

They look extremely ferocious, with thick limbs and strong muscles, like a fitness instructor. However, they have five irregular heads on their necks, and each head has a different expression on its face.

Zhou Ji has never seen such a weird method.

From this point of view, the soldiers around Wang Zhi were not living people at all, but were probably puppets created by evil magic. It was difficult to kill them with ordinary means, so Wang Zhi showed no concern.

Don’t wait to think.

The four blood giants took the lead in attacking.

It looks clumsy, but is actually incredibly fast.

They can control their arms to transform into weapons with terrifying lethality, such as sledgehammers, axes, sharp blades, etc.!

Even with Zhou Ji's skill, he was in a very awkward position when faced with the siege. After narrowly dodging more than a dozen attacks, he finally found a flaw and slashed a giant with a knife.

The blade easily penetrated the body.

It's like being cut into a ball of water.

The giant was not affected at all.

A backhand blow sent him flying into the wall.

Zhou Ji vomited blood and felt that his ribs were cracked, his internal organs were damaged, and some kind of filthy and evil energy was eroding his body. Fortunately, he was wearing the green quality armor sent by the Scourge Army, otherwise he would have been unable to stand with just this one blow. Woke up.

"My attacks are useless..."

Zhou Ji looked at the giant he had just chopped down.

I saw that the huge incision on my body had basically healed.

This shows that these blood giants do not take physical damage and can only attack with energy or spells.

Zhou Ji was already exhausted at this moment, and he was injured. If he continued to struggle, he would definitely lose. As the saying goes, shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first, capture the king. He pretended to attack the blood giant and then changed direction and suddenly shot towards Wang Zhi's Kill in the direction.

Wang Zhi had already been prepared.

A blood-red shield was condensed.

Zhou Ji struck twice in succession, but failed to cause any damage to the shield.

At this time, the four blood giants made another move. Each blood giant released dozens of tentacles from both hands, attacking quickly from all directions. Zhou Ji managed to cut off a few tentacles, and then he was entangled and restrained.

"That's it!"

Wang Zhi stepped forward and put his hand on Zhou Ji, who was unable to move. He saw a surge of blood quickly spreading throughout his body, and finally turned into a blood wax-like substance, completely sealing Zhou Ji's body.

"Hahaha, even though he is an idiot who overestimates his abilities, he is still a high-quality sacrifice!"

This battle is over.

Zhou Ji was completely defeated!

…………

Luoshui base camp.

"Zhou Ji is still too reckless!"

"Fortunately among the misfortunes, Wang Zhi did not kill him immediately. Maybe he can be saved later."

Hang Yu fell into thinking after watching the whole process. If he was just doubtful before, now he is sure.

Although Wang Zhi was not twisted and demonized into a terrifying monster by the will of the abyss like Pei Yuanshao and Ma Yuanyi, he had also been affected by the forces from the abyss, and what affected him should be the skull he obtained from unknown sources.

The abyss is a very complex, huge, and indescribable concept.

Although most pollution sources are directly formed by the supreme will of the abyss, there are also many special pollution sources that come from some abyss evil gods or more indescribable taboo existences.

These beings are usually the ultimate beings hatched from the nightmares of the abyss planes. They already have divine origin and extremely high status, so they can not only escape the dreams of the plane in which they were born, but also can control the dreams of other planes. cause impact.

The Scarlet Mother mentioned by Wang Zhi should be a certain Abyss Evil God.

Of course, it is impossible for an ant like Wang Zhi to directly come into contact with an evil god-level existence. His knowledge does not come directly from the Scarlet Mother, but from the skull in his hand.

If Hang Yu guessed correctly.

This skull should be the remains left by a powerful family member or descendant of the Scarlet Mother. This fragment fell from the outside world to the Three Kingdoms Plane of the Abyss in the early days of the advent of the Abyss. Finally, it was obtained by Wang Zhi by chance. From then on, it has Wang Zhi exerted influence.

Special pollutants like this.

In fact, it is not very rare in the abyss.

Wang Zhi obtained a large amount of knowledge and even power from the skull, and also obtained the method of worshiping and communicating with the Scarlet Mother, but this influence and gift was full of malicious intent!

According to Hang Yu’s understanding of the abyss.

Although this skull is just the remains of some evil god's descendants or descendants, it still has powerful abilities. It eroded Wang Zhi step by step, most likely to cultivate Wang Zhi into his resurrected body.
