Hao Ren gaped at the scene in front of him. It took him a while to realize that this siren was so powerful.
"Phew —" Nangong Wuyue let out a long sigh. The expression on her face kept changing. No one knew what she was thinking. She then wound her way up to the sleeping child and returned to Hao Ren's side. "It's done here. The child must have been drugged. She'll be fine once she gets some fresh air. "
Hao Ren glanced at the child and realized that she was still a little girl. It was just that she was so dirty and dressed in rags that he did not recognize her. He turned to look at the situation in the stone hall and was disappointed to find that there were no survivors. The cultists had either turned into a pile of mud after their vitality and magic had been exhausted, or turned into sand by Nangong Wuyue's strange ability. It seemed that it was impossible to capture them using ordinary methods.
The two of them searched the hall carefully, trying to find any information about this secret cult, but to no avail. Hao Ren began to rummage through the clothes and equipment left behind by the dead cultists. He found that these cultists were probably residents of Leyton and the surrounding areas. From their clothes, there were farmers and merchants, rich and poor, and even professional soldiers and mercenaries. He even found a small pendant on one of the muddy cultists. He could not help but exclaim in a low voice, "A Royal Knight?"
There were actually soldiers of the Royal Knights among the heretics?! Where did this cult come from?!
At this time, Nangong Wuyue also found something. She found a coat of arms on the inside of the dusty leader's clothes. The coat of arms was the symbol of the Disciples of Glory. "There's one from the Disciples of Glory here!"
Hao Ren quickly ran over to have a look and confirmed that the coat of arms was indeed embroidered on the body of the clergy of the church. He then searched the dusty clothes and found a thin booklet. He immediately flipped through it.
The booklet recorded long paragraphs of crazy words, as if a delirious person had directly printed their messy thoughts on the paper. The more Hao Ren read, the more he frowned. The messy sentences and the content of the paragraphs made him very uncomfortable. All the words described the greatness and wisdom of a certain "goddess" in various ways. At the same time, they constantly condemned the crimes of the Disciples of Glory for stealing the power of the true God and deceiving the world. Hao Ren wondered how such a messy and dry pamphlet could brainwash a group of people like this. He just felt that it was ridiculous.
But as ridiculous as it was, the contents of the booklet were still very important. Hao Ren thought of the shared illusions from the gigantic brain's memory and vaguely linked them to the Disciples of Glory and the cults in front of him. He felt that the key to the relationship between the three was in these crazy paragraphs. He asked the MDT to scan the contents of the booklet and then threw it into his Dimensional Pocket. He was going to find a chance to hand it over to a "professional" in Leyton.
He knew that it would be troublesome to investigate these things when he was not familiar with the place. In comparison, it was better to lead the Disciples of Glory or the Knights to investigate this matter.
After realizing that there were no more clues in the stone hall, he and Nangong Wuyue left the cave together. At this moment, the night was still dark outside. It was about two to three hours before dawn. The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and it seemed that a storm would start before dawn. Wuyue used her tail to curl up the little girl that she had rescued earlier and followed behind Hao Ren. She seemed to be preoccupied. Hao Ren was still thinking about what the "gigantic brain" was. After a moment of silence, Hao Ren decided not to think about these things anymore. He turned his head and glanced at Wuyue with a smirk. "I didn't expect you to be so good!"
Wuyue's expression was inexplicably a little ugly. She curled her lips and said, "Don't mention it. I've only just recovered."
Hao Ren looked at her curiously and asked, "You've recovered? Tell me what happened just now. "
The siren maiden scratched her head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You know the saying that sirens are immortal, right?"
Hao Ren nodded. He had heard about it from Vivian a long time ago.
"It's not that sirens are immortal, but they can resurrect continuously." Wuyue pointed to her body. "See? It's made of water. As long as there's water, we can resurrect infinitely many times. I'm not good at fighting. What I did just now was not an offensive ability. I just resurrected once, using the water in the body of those believers. "
Hao Ren suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"I don't usually like to use this trick." Wuyue seemed to have recalled an unbearable past. "Firstly, it's a little cruel. I'm a soft-hearted person. Secondly... Secondly, it will cause trouble. You know, I'm only half a siren. My talent is probably a little lacking. Originally, when a siren resurrects, we need to be highly focused before we can choose our resurrection point. But I often get distracted. Sometimes, I die in a daze... "
Hao Ren was stunned by this explanation. "Die in a daze? That works? What happens after that? "
"After that, I don't know where the resurrection point is." Wuyue stuck out her tongue. "I'll randomly choose a place with a lot of water vapor on the entire planet to rebuild my body. When I was wandering around the world, I was accidentally hit by a train and died. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I was unlucky enough to swim for two months."
Hao Ren's eyebrows twitched. "You can't swim that fast?"
Wuyue sighed. "I got caught up in the ocean currents and got lost. Besides, you know that I've never been to the deep sea..."
Hao Ren was speechless. He thought to himself, "Every monster girl has their own weird side. No wonder Wuyue was afraid of fighting. She could not win a fight. She could only rely on resurrection to trick people. But this resurrection had a 50% chance of throwing her to the other side of the earth." He suddenly felt a little guilty. "Sorry, I should be the one protecting you... You got hurt just now."
"That injury is nothing. A siren's body is not fixed in shape. I'll just treat it as a few cracks from a failed transformation." Nangong Wuyue waved her hand nonchalantly. "Besides, it's all thanks to you for getting rid of that floating meatball. Speaking of which, what is that thing? "
"God knows." Hao Ren shrugged.
At this moment, the sky was covered with thick clouds. Suddenly, a thunderbolt sounded. A thunderstorm was coming. Hao Ren saw the situation and smiled awkwardly. "Well, looks like it doesn't know either."
The two did not waste any more time. They teleported back to Leyton. As they did not know where to put the little girl, they brought her to the guest house where they stayed.
After a while, Vivian and Y 'zaks' team came back. The team that went out to investigate the situation tonight was finally complete.
As soon as Lily saw Hao Ren, she jumped up and down excitedly like a dog. Her tail whipped up a small whirlwind. "Mr. Landlord, Mr. Landlord, we found something! We found something!"
Vivian hurriedly picked up the cups and other things on the table and grabbed Lily's tail. "Can't you change your habit of going crazy when there's someone around?"
Lily carelessly licked Hao Ren's hand and said, "We found a tentacle underground. Battie and I fought the tentacle for 300 rounds... Of course, it's mainly my credit."
Vivian squinted at Lily and said, "You have the nerve to say that? You ran all the way with your tail between your legs. "
Cold sweat trickled down Hao Ren's forehead. Lily's way of speaking always made people misunderstand. This husky was like a girl with her own .avi...
In the end, it was Vivian who explained the situation clearly. She added, "Later, we went to the Gnarled Grove to confirm that the tentacle was indeed the root of the grove. But the trees in the grove didn't look strange and didn't seem to have sensing ability. "
"The root of the Gnarled Grove?!" Hao Ren was shocked. He thought that what he found tonight was scary enough, but what Lily and Vivian encountered was even more unbelievable. "The roots are spreading to the surface?"
Lily squatted on the chair and wagged her tail slowly. "It's not necessarily spreading. After all, we only saw a tentacle. Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Hao Ren felt that her speculation was very characteristic of her — that is to say, it was useless.
It seemed that the waters in Beinz were deeper than he thought.
