Chapter 309 [So, What’s the Price? ]

In Shane's perception.

Kull was in a dark cave, his expression was gloomy and revealed madness, and he was muttering something in a low voice.

Combined with the crude rituals scrawled on the ground, the mottled blood dripping on it, and the [Lava Ore] powder emitting an ominous red light...

If you say that this is not a sacrificial ceremony for some evil god, I am afraid no one will believe it!

The corner of Xia En's mouth twitched slightly, and he reflected on himself: "It seems that I pushed him a little too hard...could it drive him crazy?"

"[Lord of the Rhine]...I pray to you, please give me power..."

Kuhl's prayers sounded again.

Hearing the title [Lord of the Rhine] in his mouth, Xia En was a little unable to hold himself tight.

Although this is the name that Shane himself left on the parchment, hearing Kure recite this title carefully and reverently, something feels strange?

I always feel like I'm wearing a tiger's skin, bluffing like a magician.

But having said that, Xia En's description of [Lord of the Rhine] is quite fair, right?

[Walker who travels through the "Secret Sea"] - means that he can use [Deep Sea Diving] to travel through the [Secret Sea].

[Travellers in Thousands of "Secret Realms"] - refers to him using [Submarine Anchor Point] to teleport into different [Secret Realms].

[Lord of a World] - Refers to Xia En being the master of the secret realm of [Rhine].

Doesn’t every one of these match?

"There's nothing wrong with it, there's nothing wrong with it at all..."

Xia En murmured softly, suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart.

Although he has never been an evil god, he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running away. He still has some knowledge of the communication process between evil gods and believers.

So Xia En began to respond with the help of that mysterious thread.

"I have heard your voice."

Perhaps because this "thread" has just been formed, it is still fragile and unstable.

Or perhaps because the ritual arranged by Kuhl was too crude, there was some distortion during the transmission process.

From Kuhl's perspective.

He had just silently recited the name of [Lord of the Rhine] when a low and chaotic murmur came from his ears.

The sound sounded like dirty flesh and blood churning in a boiling pot, or like disgusting and sticky limbs squirming.

But the strange thing is that Kull still understood the general meaning from the messy and vague whisper——

【Your words...I already know...】

"The [Lord of the Rhine] is real!"

"The contents of that leather paper are true!"

After a brief period of nervousness and fear, Kull couldn't help but widen his eyes, a strong joy appeared on his face, and greed and desire grew.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally found a way to defeat Bronzebeard and become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] again!

As for the strange and chaotic voice of the [Lord of the Rhine], although Kuhl had strong fear and uneasiness, he had previously regarded the [Lord of the Rhine] as an "evil god".

With such characteristics, it was exactly in line with his expectations, so he wouldn't be too panicked.

Kuhl composed himself, suppressed the fear and excitement in his heart, and whispered as reverently as possible.

"[Lord of the Rhine], I want power!"

"Any form of power will do, please."

After saying this, Kull kept his eyes closed, quietly waiting for the [Lord of the Rhine]'s response.

After a moment, the majestic, indecipherable whisper sounded again.

【So...what's the price? 】

Hearing this, Kull's heart suddenly sank and his face turned pale.

Yes, the god he communicates with is not a kind person, but a real evil god!

Since you want power, you have to pay a corresponding price!

The most common price is life, vitality and sacrifices.

Thinking of this, Kull immediately became frightened and asked softly: "What... do you want?"

[This time...your sacrifice...I have received it...]

【More...More...】

In the intermittent murmurs, Kull understood what [Lord of the Rhine] meant.

Then, an indescribable secret force entered his body along the invisible thread.

"This...this is?!"

Kuhl's mind was shaken, and he carefully felt the secret power entering his body.

The nature of this secret power is extremely special and different from any secret power that Kull has ever sensed.

It seems to have all the characteristics of secret power, can be transformed into any kind of secret power, and also has an indescribable and amazing activity.

Ever-changing and mysterious.

Moreover, as soon as this secret power entered Kull's body, it spread to his limbs and bones, and seemed to be subtly transforming his body.

Kull can clearly feel that his body is becoming stronger!

After a while, this secret power lay dormant in his body, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

But Kull felt that he could wake it up at any time.

"call……"

Kurchang exhaled a thick breath, stretched out his hand and pressed hard on the rock wall, and a small hole immediately appeared.

"Is this...what I can do?"

The bearded dwarf's body trembled with excitement, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes were full of excitement.

He actually really gained new power from the [Lord of Rhine]!

"By the way, what is that secret power?"

Kull carefully mobilized a ray of secret power and placed it on the rock wall in front of him.

Just the moment it came into contact with the rock wall, many cracks appeared, as if the secret power penetrated directly into the depths of the rock formation, destroying it from a deeper level.

This kind of power is really thrilling!

"Is this the power of [Lord of Rhine]?"

"So strong! Too strong! Hahaha..."

Seeing this scene, Kull couldn't help laughing loudly: "If I can continue to obtain this kind of power, even Bronzebeard won't be my opponent, right?"

He muttered to himself with greedy fire burning in his eyes.

"Bronzebeard, Hope, Mary, wait!"

"The position of clan leader will definitely be mine!"

At this moment, Kull felt like he was the protagonist in some legend.

Although he encountered major setbacks, he mastered the ability to transcend common sense because of his unexpected encounters. From then on, he soared into the sky and could no longer be stopped.

Small characters like Bronzebeard and Hope are just small obstacles on the way to his rise.

The feeling of having power was so good that Kull couldn't help but be deeply intoxicated and addicted to it, and even became a little arrogant.

However, Kuhl didn't know...

All gifts from fate have already been marked with a price tag behind them.

The [Lord of Rhine], also known as Xia En, gave Kull the secret power through invisible threads. It was none other than his exclusive [Secret Power of the Void].

Because this secret power can simulate the characteristics of almost all secret powers, Shane naturally adjusted it to suit Kull and took root in Kull's body.

From Kuhl's perspective, he may feel that his physical fitness has been strengthened and his body's secret power has become full.

You will naturally come to the conclusion that you have become stronger.

But, from another perspective.

Shane's secret power has taken root throughout Kull's body, naturally including the heart, trachea, brain and other vital parts.

He only needed one thought to take Kull's life.

Even if Kull stops praying to him in the future, his entire body will become extremely weak due to the loss of the support of [Secret Power of the Void].

It is not impossible to get seriously ill directly.

However, Shane believes that Kuhl will continue to repeat this process.

Because, after enjoying the taste of power, he can no longer tolerate the weak self he used to be!

Especially for people like Kuhl, this mentality will be particularly obvious.

It can be said that from the moment Kull prayed to Shane for strength, his life was no longer his own property.

This is the price Kuhl paid!

"hiss……"

Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help but take a breath.

Thinking about it carefully, this behavior probably, maybe, seems, maybe... is indeed no different from what the evil god does?

However, when he thought that Kuer had framed him, Xia En's mentality instantly calmed down.

He has never shown any kindness towards his enemies.

Xia En said to himself: "I just don't know what Kull's reaction would be if he knew that I was the [Lord of the Rhine]..."

"By then, his expression will be wonderful, right?"

at the same time.

Kuhl knew nothing about his tragic fate in the future. He took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Wait a minute, [Lord of Rhine] said he received a sacrifice?"

"But I obviously didn't put any sacrifices..."

Kull glanced around the ritual track in confusion, and soon discovered that the [Lava Ore] powder that previously glowed dark red had disappeared at some point.

Kuhl suddenly realized: "It turns out that the sacrifice is [Lava Mine]!"

Realizing this, his eyes couldn't help but twinkle.

Naturally, he has a lot of [Lava Mine] in stock at home.

More importantly, as the most outstanding craftsman in the [Warhammer Tribe] second only to Hope, the forging of many equipment in the tribe was completed by him.

In the process, you will also get the [Lava Ore] given by the tribe.

At that time, you can completely hide some of it privately and sacrifice more [Lava Mines] to the [Lord of the Rhine] in exchange for more power.

"This is completely feasible, but you have to hide it from that old guy Hope..."

Kuhl began to silently think about the feasibility of this matter.

If Xia En knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say - "You are such a fucking talent!"

Good guy, you have just had contact with the "Evil God" and are you ready to sell your tribe?

This is probably the so-called "holy body of a born cultist", right?

Currently, the most valuable things to Xia En in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are the [Lava Mine], followed by the equipment made by the dwarves.

——If the [Moon-Winging Clan] in the [Rhine Secret Realm] can be equipped with dwarf equipment, their combat effectiveness will be greatly increased again.

Therefore, Xia En also listed these two as the targets of "sacrifice".

On the other side, after Kull was ready to be a traitor, he completely cleared the rituals at the scene and whispered to himself at the same time.

"Praise the [Lord of the Rhine]!"

He believes that his life trajectory will be greatly changed by [Lord of the Rhine].

And just then.

A tremor on the ground suddenly came from far away.

"What's going on?"

Kull's expression changed slightly and he looked down the cave.

I saw a group of dwarves wearing armor and holding axes, passing through the passage below quickly.

Like a fast-moving army!

"It's the Wild Axe Tribe! They're coming!"

Kul's heart jumped suddenly - from the iconic axe, he easily recognized the identity of the other party.

Not only that, he even saw that there was a giant wolf with flames burning in its eyes in the team.

The huge and strong body, sharp claws and teeth, and fiery red hair... all filled with a terrible sense of oppression.

Just standing there was enough to scare ordinary dwarves and make them unable to resist.

There is no doubt that it is a real [Fire Seed]!

To be precise, it is a [Fire Wolf], and a tamed [Fire Wolf]!

Yes, in the [Furnace Secret Realm], some powerful dwarf warriors can defeat and subdue [Fire Seed] with their own strength.

And turning these [Fire Seeds] into their own mounts or companions, they can also become the precious labor force of the entire tribe.

At this time, an exceptionally tall dwarf was sitting on the back of this [Fire Wolf].

He was at least two heads taller than the average dwarf, and his hair was as red as flames, and swayed slightly as the [Fire Wolf] moved forward.

That body obviously contained explosive power.

——The obedient and extremely well-behaved [Fire Wolf] under him, and the awe-inspiring eyes of the surrounding dwarves, are the best proof.

When he saw this person, Kul couldn't help but take a breath, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

Explosion·Yangyan!

The first warrior of the [Yangyan Tribe]!

Even in a remote place like the [Warhammer Tribe], Kul had long heard of the deeds of this warrior.

It is said that Explosion·Yangyan was originally an abandoned child of the Yangyan Tribe, raised by a [Fire Seed].

Perhaps it has something to do with his growth experience.

As Burst Yangyan grew up, he quickly showed a strong talent, was extremely compatible with the [Furnace Secret Realm], and had a deep understanding of the power of fire elements.

In the second year after being brought back to the tribe, Burst defeated all his peers and was called a genius that is rare in a century.

However, due to his childhood experiences, Burst's personality is very strange.

In other words, he is more inclined to the wild side, and even had a bloody record of tearing the enemy apart in battle.

Many dwarves therefore developed a strong fear of him and called him the [Son of Fiery Flame], which means the child of the [Fiery Seed].

Although Kul had already known in advance that Burst would join the war.

But how could they come so quickly?

Kul suddenly woke up. Perhaps, when the secret letter was sent, the team of the Wild Axe Tribe had already set off!

Now, what should he do?

At this moment, Burst, sitting on the wolf's back, raised his head and looked in the direction of Kul.
