After traveling with him for some time, Lin Sanjiu realized that Jujube, the brown-lipped god, was having a hard time.
He didn't have a territory, and he didn't have any duoluozhong as his minions. He only had a few statues that he didn't know how to hide in a place that he wouldn't tell Lin Sanjiu. Judging from his size, Lin Sanjiu guessed that he didn't have many statues. Usually, Jujube would fail seven or eight times out of ten when he ambushed other gods. In the remaining two or three times, the god that he ambushed would get angry and turn around to hunt him down.
Just when he was about to change his strategy and capture a "meat man" to carve a statue for him, this meat man actually showed him a surprising ability. Jujube was full of anticipation for Lin Sanjiu to join him.
"This is how unfair this world is," he explained to Lin Sanjiu with a gloomy expression. "The powerful gods can easily become more powerful, but for us, who are relatively weak, it takes a lot of effort to become stronger."
"It seems like there's also a Matthew effect in the Salvation of God..." Lin Sanjiu's imagination ran wild.
"By the way, don't you have the ability of Word of Law?" Lin Sanjiu sat on Jujube's shoulder and asked, "It's impossible for every god to know what your ability is. Why don't you just find a god that doesn't know you and use it on him?"
"If it's that simple, I would have been the only true god in this world. It's a broken ability. It can only be used on gods whose Divine Power is 9 levels lower than mine, or on non-gods or ants. " Jujube had tried his best to keep his voice down, but Lin Sanjiu could still hear the buzzing of his vocal cords.
"What level are you?"
Jujube refused to answer her question. He turned his head and said, "Did you see the three gods? You're just a small shrimp at level 10. If you want to level up, you'll have to try anything. However, it'll be difficult to succeed … So, whether or not you'll be able to take all of that False God's belongings in one fell swoop depends on your ability. "
Lin Sanjiu gulped. "You... Can you describe that God again?"
Jujube snorted through his nostrils to show his dissatisfaction. "I'll say it one last time. Remember it! The false god looked like an old man with a very long nose. His Divine Power was around level 20, and he had collected three or four abilities, all of which were slightly stronger than mine. He was lucky. The territory isn't big, and there aren't many duoluozhongs either. There are only about a hundred of them … "
From the looks of it, Jujube's ability shouldn't exceed level 30. Lin Sanjiu sighed inwardly. She had no idea how she was going to fight a Level 20 God.
She once told Jujube that her missing friend was a very smart person. If she could find him first, it would not be difficult for her to attack anyone. But Jujube was not stupid. He refused her at once. "Who knows how long it will take to find him? Am I supposed to search like this? It's fine if you want to find them, but we can't neglect our mission to attack the False Gods. "
What made it even harder for Lin Sanjiu to bargain with him was that Jujube had indeed fulfilled his part of the promise.
Along the way, they passed by many places that were said to have "God's Territories". Jujube did not attack them and only headed toward the nearest desert. The vastness of the Salvation of God had far exceeded Lin Sanjiu's imagination. Even with the size of a god, it took them almost two weeks to see a blurry line of yellow sand in the distance.
It had been so long, and Ji Shanqing must have gone far away. Even if Lin Sanjiu didn't consider that, she couldn't help feeling disappointed. With just a glance, she could tell that this wasn't the desert where she had lost contact with her grand prize.
It was also a desert, but this place was filled with endless sand dunes of various sizes, covered in rings of different shades of sand. From the layers of sand, there were sparse thorns, shrubs, and cacti … Although there was only an expanse of yellow and dark green in his field of vision, it was far more bustling and lively than the other desert.
Even though there was no trace of her grand prize, a promise was a promise. Jujube was very insistent on it. He had to conquer this God's Territory before he left.
"After I take down all the statues of this False God, my Divine Power will increase a little. Then, we can go to the next desert much faster," Jujube said to Lin Sanjiu. Aside from his broken Spirit Word, Jujube seemed to have another ability to blend into his surroundings. He crouched down like a frog and stared at the desert in front of him as he whispered to Lin Sanjiu.
They had been crouching for the whole afternoon, but the sand dunes in front of them were still as silent as before. Aside from the sand that was stirred up by the wind and the strange ball-like plants that rolled across the sand dunes, there was not a single person in sight.
Lin Sanjiu braced herself and waited for the night to fall.
At night, the air in the desert suddenly turned cold. It was so cold that it was as if someone had suddenly turned down the air conditioner. Before Lin Sanjiu could react, she had already sneezed.
"Don't make a sound!" Jujube immediately scolded her with his whisper. He spat out a gust of stinky wind from his mouth, causing the shrubs around them to rustle.
Lin Sanjiu instinctively looked at the shrubs, and at that moment, she leaped up from his shoulder.
"Down there," she whispered as she stared at the roots of the shrubs. The sand, which was originally in a ring shape, suddenly began to move in circles. It was moving faster and faster, as if it was going to swallow everyone who dared to stand in the sand. As far as the eye could see, every sand dune was moving like a sand gyroscope.
Jujube was startled to find that his feet were buried in the sand. He tried to get up, but before he could do so, he saw a hole in the middle of the quicksand, revealing a dark abyss underneath. It was as if the earth had opened its mouth.
Both of them took a few steps back and realized that the speed of the quicksand had slowed down again. It was as if the quicksand was only moving to reveal the hole underneath.
"What … What is this?" Lin Sanjiu asked blankly. "This is one of the abilities of the false god," Jujube replied briefly before he hid himself again.
Slowly, blurry shadows of flesh poked out from the hole in the ground one after another. As if they were afraid of the outside world, the figures crawled out hesitantly. Under the dim moonlight, their dried and bloodless skin and tired and numb faces were gradually revealed.
"They are Inhumans!"
Just as the thought flashed across Lin Sanjiu's mind, she saw Jujube let out a long breath. He stuck out his long brown tongue as if he was unable to control his excitement. He swayed his tongue in the air for a moment before he retracted it.
Unlike the Inhumans in Deva's territory, these Inhumans had a frighteningly pale complexion as if they had not seen the sun for years. Their bodies were hunched over, and their bony ribs could be seen clearly from their backs. They didn't deserve to be called Inhumans. Most of their hair had fallen out, leaving only sparse clumps of hair on their paper-white scalps. None of them wore clothes, but it was hard to tell whether they were men or women.
"So, the old god you mentioned hid his territory under the desert …" Lin Sanjiu whispered, "But why did all these Inhumans come out? Why didn't the duoluozhongs care about them? "
Lin Sanjiu didn't expect that the answer to her question would soon crawl out from the hole. After all the Inhumans came out, a few moments later, one after another, strange-looking heads emerged from the hole. They were the duoluozhongs that were following behind them.
It seemed like the duoluozhongs had chased the flesh-men out of the quicksand, using them as pathfinders. Perhaps the duoluozhongs were relieved when they saw that everything was peaceful outside. They swarmed out of the quicksand like a swarm of locusts, sending chills down Lin Sanjiu's spine.
Lin Sanjiu was puzzled. When she turned around, she was met with a pair of large eyes that were as dull as black holes.
"What are you still doing here?" As Jujube spoke in a low voice, a pungent wind blew past Lin Sanjiu, stirring up a cloud of sand behind her. "Go and find out what's going on," Jujube said.
From the looks of it, he was afraid that this was a trap set by an old god.
After all, in Salvation of God, Inhumans and duoluozhongs were precious resources. Not to mention the role of Inhumans, they directly determined how many idols a god could have. On the other hand, duoluozhongs were indispensable to the defense of a territory. They could search for idols, defend their territory, hunt down posthumans, and create more duoluozhongs. It was indeed unusual for such a precious resource to be left out in the open like this.
However, when Lin Sanjiu landed on the sand and walked toward the hole, she saw a long, thin, and pointy head that looked like an anteater poking out from a sand dune in front of her. Then, the duoluozhong opened its mouth, and the long head split into two halves, "God, the one and only true god! I can feel your presence. Please accept your wandering people! "
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She turned around, but Jujube still hadn't shown himself. He did have a chameleon's ability. The night sky was empty, and there was only a patch of sand and bushes. It was hard to tell that there was a god here.
"The false god we served was killed by another false god. However, for some reason, the other false god didn't stay and left us behind … It's our honor to meet the one and only true god …"
