Chapter 5 The Legendary Hidden Item

It was a huge ancient tree that burned like fire, with countless strands of light falling like waterfalls. Its vines seemed like the most gorgeous silk in the world. Standing in the city, it was like a god descending to the earth, overlooking the miserable earth.

The skyscrapers were so humble and tiny in front of it.

How could such a noble and majestic tree appear in the city?

Lu Buer had never seen such a spectacular sight.

He was enveloped by the glory and fragrance of the ancient tree, as if his soul had ascended to the sky, his breathing and heartbeat became stronger, and his spirit was fuller than ever before.

It was as if he had arrived in heaven.

Not only him, but everyone felt the warmth and chill.

The warmth came from the sacred tree.

The chill came from the ancient altar under the tree.

The believers knelt in front of the altar. They were wearing moon-white robes, with the outline of bones smeared with blood on their backs. At first glance, they looked like corpses wrapped in shrouds.

An old priest stood in the center of the altar, with a blood-red heart pendant suspended in his palm. It looked like a flesh organ, but it was wrapped in a metal shell. It was beating like a living thing, and blood was flowing out.

The thick blood dyed the soil red and was about to spread to the place where the cocoons were.

"Look, our holy object is so magnificent. We ants can only hurt ourselves under its mystery. I was lucky to get it by chance. This is a great gift from the Holy Mountain. According to research, it is a very special life form, but no one has been able to truly awaken it for more than a hundred years."

The old priest shouted enthusiastically: "Today, we will use its power to return the sacred tree to its original state and purify this world polluted by false gods!"

Lu Buer finally understood that the unburied corpses in the church, the strange diary, and the crazy believers under the golden ancient tree were all self-evident.

They were involved in a group of heretics' rituals.

The cocoons here were specially selected, so the people in the cocoons would have a difficult birth, and after breaking out of the cocoons, they would become bloodthirsty and hideous mummies, becoming the heretics' White Walkers.

In other words, they were lucky and were not found when they were in the cocoons, otherwise they would have been used as sacrifices and turned into a corpse emitting a foul odor.

Wait a minute!

The hidden plot that will only appear during the public beta!

If Lu Buer had cleared the dungeon during the initial beta and did not find any so-called hidden props, then the variables should be here, the special plot that parents mentioned!

Is it possible that the hidden plot is this group of heretics?

And the so-called holy objects in their hands are the ultimate props!

The prayers stopped abruptly.

The old priest raised his head, half of his face was sickly pale, and the other half was rotten and festering like a mummy, with no emotion in his eyes.

The white-robed believers also turned around and stared at them. Their rotten faces looked like evil spirits crawling out of hell, with empty expressions and grim eyes.

Officer An and Boss Zhang braked suddenly and stopped their steps.

"I said we were lost, do you believe it?"

Lu Buer raised his hands.

With a gurgle.

Everyone was frightened by the scene.

It seemed that they had not arrived in heaven, but in hell.

The old priest showed a strange smile on his lips and said hoarsely: "The cocoon breakers who were forgotten in the land of the afterlife? They are really excellent sacrifices. Catch them!"

The believers got up from the ground and took out sharp daggers from their sleeves.

Lu Buer was still holding a glimmer of naive hope.

See if he can negotiate.

It seems that there is no hope.

"Catch them!"

The old priest gave an order and the believers swarmed out.

·

·

Officer An roared, "Run!"

"Scatter, scatter!"

Lu Buer and his companions fled in all directions. There were many tombstones in this cemetery, which was very suitable for hide-and-seek. The individual combat effectiveness of those fanatics was very strong, but there were not many of them.

It would definitely not be possible to catch them all in a short time.

Unexpectedly, the speed of the group of believers was so fast that even if they had escaped in advance, they were still caught up in a short moment. When the sharp dagger pierced their backs, screams were heard.

Bang!

Officer An fired again, and a believer's head was blown off with one shot.

"I didn't expect there would be police."

The old priest said grimly: "Take his gun!"

Lu Buer's eyes flickered, and he thought of the mummies in the cemetery, and shouted: "Quick, run back, those mummies should attack indiscriminately, we can take the opportunity to escape!"

It must be said that Lu Buer's proposal was indeed eye-opening. Officer An and Boss Zhang called on everyone to run back, but a group of black shadows appeared in the fog, and there were chaotic footsteps.

Lu Buer felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't expect the way back to be blocked.

Not only that, he also heard the sound of mummies running wildly.

Finished!

When the fog cleared, the man in the front was rolling and crawling, as if he was being driven by someone, and behind him were the crazy mummies, bloodthirsty and hideous!

Lu Buer felt that the man looked familiar, and thought to himself, no way.

"Brother Lu?"

The guy was He Sai, who was now covered in snow and filth, like a loach that had rolled in the mud. Obviously, his journey was not simple.

As expected, He Sai also came to this cemetery. They also rushed over in the direction of the light source and finally met up with other survivors.

"Finally found you, fellow villagers meet, tears well up in my eyes!"

He Sai looked as excited as a bull, and behind him were a group of survivors. It seemed that the overall survival rate was quite high, probably because they had not experienced the attack of mummies.

But when He Sai ran under the tree, his steps stopped abruptly.

The believers, led by the old priest, all turned their heads, staring at their delicious lambs with crazy and ferocious eyes, and grinned with a weird smile.

"Do you still want to be tearful now?"

Lu Buer wiped his face and said unhappily.

"Fuck!"

He Sai's expression gradually became ferocious, and he grabbed his arm: "Run!"

The survivors scattered, and the believers rushed forward with smiles.

"Brother Lu, you go first!"

He Sai roared, took out an oversized chainsaw from his back, and when he turned on the full power, there was a deafening roar. He rushed out like Lu Bu wielding the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and immediately scared the believers. I don't know who this is.

Lu Buer finally knew how this guy survived. He is really a god of war.

"Jose, where did you get this chainsaw?"

"I found a military equipment box on the way here. There are a lot of things in it, but not many of them are useful... By the way, Brother Lu, why do you stink so much? Did you eat shit?"

"Shut your stinky mouth. If you want to live, stay close to me!"

They talked about the past with their backs to each other, and it felt like they were chatting in a trench, but there was no rain of bullets around, but fanatics who were eyeing them.

The mummies finally launched an attack, and the main target of the attack was the new survivors. Because they were not coated with corpse fluid, they were torn apart in an instant.

And the fanatics were not attacked either, probably because they were also rotten and exuded a foul smell, just like corpses.

The scene was chaotic for a while, but the old priest stared at the two brothers in distress. He held the blood-red heart pendant and rushed over like a tiger.

"Brother Lu, be careful!"

He Sai yelled, "You're behind me!"

Lu Buer hurriedly swung out his electric baton and hit him on the head!

Unexpectedly, the old priest stretched out his withered right hand and easily grabbed his electric baton. He stood still despite the current, exerted a little force with his palm, and flattened the baton a little bit!

"Fuck, this old man is so strong!"

Lu Buer cursed, and then was punched in the lower abdomen by the old man. The huge force directly knocked him out, and he rolled on the ground like a ball for several rounds.

He Sai rushed up with a chain saw, but was also knocked over by a punch.

"You who have only been baptized by the sacred tree and have not yet mastered the sacred rhythm have not opened the real path of evolution. You are not real cocoon breakers. You are very weak!" The old priest threw away the shriveled electric baton and threw it on the ground.

He Sai covered his chest and climbed up with difficulty, cursing: "Why is this old Deng talking so much nonsense? Don't you know that villains die because of their talkativeness?"

Lu Buer's lower abdomen was also churning, and he rolled over and said hoarsely: "Don't you often mock me when you play Landlord with a king bomb?"

As soon as the voice fell, the old priest's bones made a crackling sound and strode towards them.

That cruel and bloodthirsty look seemed to be admiring blood food.

"Old An, save the children!"

Boss Zhang rolled and crawled, shouting: "Use a grenade!"

Officer An subconsciously took out a grenade from his pocket.

That was the life-saving trump card they picked up on the road.

But at this moment he hesitated, because he was afraid that the two children would be blown to death.

Lu Buer happened to catch a glimpse of the grenade, knowing the importance of this thing, so he forced himself to stand up and rushed out, hooking his finger: "Come on, old Deng, come and kill me if you have the guts."

The old priest really came back angrily.

Lu Buer didn't hide or retreat, but laughed.

Lao Deng fell into the trap.

The reason why he rushed out was to use his body as bait, to keep a safe distance from his companions, and to ensure that the other party could eat the grenade 100%.

Of course, he also used his life and death to force Officer An to throw the grenade.

At this time, even if it didn't explode, he would die.

It's better to explode directly.

There is no strategy for the hidden plot, so he can only take the risk and try it. The worst case scenario is death.

Anyway, he was already suffering from a terminal illness, so it wouldn't be a loss if he died.

Officer An didn't have time to hesitate, he pulled out the pull ring and threw the grenade.

At this moment, when the old priest rushed over, the grenade that had passed through the air happened to explode on his back, blowing him away.

With a bang, it was like thunder.

Even though there was an old priest in between, Lu Buer was knocked out by the explosion.

He was stunned by the aftermath of the explosion, everything in his sight became blurred, and there was a sharp noise in his ears, and the world was spinning.

Officer An threw the grenade very accurately, and he was only injured by the aftermath of the explosion. Although this was also fatal for ordinary people, it was still within the tolerable range for him.

The damage of the grenade was almost blocked by the old priest, and he suffered a lot.

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu!"

He Sai's call came faintly in his ears, clearly close at hand and as if far away in the sky.

Lu Buer barely raised his head and suddenly found that Lao Deng was staggering towards him. A piece of his head was blown off, and thick and fishy blood was flowing everywhere, which was horrible and terrifying.

Damn it, he is not dead yet.

His scalp was numb, and when he was about to force himself to get up, he saw the blood-red heart-like pendant rolling all the way over and finally fell into his hand.

·

·

The remaining rationality made Lu Buer find a way to survive.

Since this group of lunatics wanted to use this thing for sacrifice, he could use the pendant to control the believers!

He reached out and grabbed the pendant, but it was as if he was holding a hot iron.

The blood-red heart pendant actually pulsated strangely in his palm, and instantly melted into a dark and viscous substance, and drilled into his palm in an instant.

Only the metal shell was left, and the surface was flickering with a faint light.

Gone!

Lu Buer was shocked. He felt a sharp pain in his palm, as if an unknown substance had penetrated into his body, flowed along the blood vessels to every corner of his body, and finally stopped completely after passing through the part of his brain where the disease often occurred.

And a strange heart mark suddenly appeared in his palm.

"Special diseased body detected, the fit is 100%, the rarity cannot be calculated, and it is determined to be a single case!"

"The God Seed is merging..."

"Dark matter swallowing authority is opening!"

"Opening failed!"

The cold mechanical sound seemed to sound in his mind: "It is detected that the host has not yet completed the evolution. Please become an evolver as soon as possible and open the God Seed authority!"

The mechanical sound fell silent, and the metal shell turned into a dead object.

Lu Buer was stunned. He had just heard the description of this strange heart by the heretics during the ceremony. It was said that it was a special life form, but no one could wake it up.

Now this thing has merged with himself.

"Special disease variant?"

Wait a minute, this thing might be what my parents said.

Hidden in the copy, special hidden props!

Because when the seeds of the gods merged, he actually had a strong desire to hunt, as if the mummies in front of him were no longer terrible monsters, but food that could be hunted.

A strong sense of hunger surged in his heart.

There was even an urge to devour those monsters.

Lu Buer felt extremely absurd, but now was not the time to think about these things, there was a more deadly crisis waiting for him.

The old priest was also dizzy from the explosion, and he lost his mind when he saw this scene.

"You ugly creature, how dare you touch our holy objects?"

Lao Deng roared madly, raised his withered hands and wanted to strangle him: "What did you do to the holy object? Give it back to me! Immediately, give it back to me!"

Lu Buer cursed in his heart. If this so-called seed of the gods was the Easter egg left to him by his parents, then it should have been his thing.

This old Deng robbed him of his chance, obviously he wanted to die!

It's a pity that this seed of the gods cannot be opened for the time being because he has not evolved, so it is useless at this time.

In the critical moment, he sat on the ground and retreated frantically, slapping the ground constantly.

He Sai's chainsaw had been blown away. He searched over and over in the equipment box but couldn't find anything useful. In the end, he could only take out a... flare gun.

The flare gun can also cause damage when fired at close range.

"Throw it over, throw it over!"

Lu Buer glimpsed the flare gun with his peripheral vision and growled.

He Sai didn't know what the flare gun was for, but he could only throw it to him.

Lu Buer grabbed the flare gun, but the old priest had already rushed over, his withered right hand locked his throat tightly, and the other hand kept groping on his body.

Probably trying to find the holy object.

Officer An and Boss Zhang wanted to save him, but it was too late.

When Lu Buer was about to fight back with a flare gun, he suddenly thought of something.

In the end, he did not choose to shoot the old Deng in front of him with a signal gun.

Instead, he fired into the sky.

Bang.

The fog was illuminated by the red light.

The old priest's face was also illuminated, but he ignored it and just kept roaring: "Give it back to me, give me my holy object back! Where did you hide it? Give it back to me quickly!"

His hands became stronger and stronger.

Fortunately, because of the serious injury, he could not use too much strength.

But even so, it was not something Lu Buer could resist.

Lu Buer struggled with all his strength, but it was useless. As time passed, just when he was about to be strangled to death, there was a faint sound of wind.

No, it was not the sound of wind.

The old priest and his believers were stunned.

Lu Buer knew that he had made the right bet.

What would a group of crazy believers who secretly held a ceremony in a forbidden area fear the most?

Of course, being discovered by the Orthodox Church.

What Lu Buer had to do was to lure their enemies over.

Under the light of the golden ancient tree, the thick and fishy blood spread along the dry earth, as if nourishing the tree roots deep underground. A strong wind blew in the snow and fog, and the golden vines swayed like dragons and snakes.

Everyone looked up at the sky and saw the shadow of a helicopter falling from the sky.

"Calling the Linhai Navy Department, this is the patrol team numbered B537. A life disaster has occurred in the Land of the Dead. We are about to carry out the cleanup mission and start rescuing the cocoon breakers. Report completed."

The sound of a knife was faintly heard, suddenly breaking the terrifying scream.
