The straight-line distance from Bi Village to Gorgalon Crater was not very far. After all, Xiao Ai and her family had gone there to pick fruits to hide from the famine. If it had been too far away, they would have starved to death on the road.
In fact, because Tang En had opened up a path and built bridges all the way through, they arrived at their destination that night in the off-road vehicle.
Gorgalon Crater was a very wide crater. A huge meteorite had landed here and created a crater with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. As time passed, the bottom of the crater was covered by dust and soil and became flat again, and vegetation appeared. Because the outside mountain peak, which was thousands of meters high, blocked the exchange of species with the outside world, the crater began to evolve naturally, forming a very unique ecological area inside the crater.
There were many ancient species that could no longer be seen in the outside world, and it was of great research significance. However, there were no biologists in Prandal.
"When we first came here, we went in along a path in the valley."
Xiao Ai pointed to the mountain wall and said, "Those naturally formed paths are very dangerous. Many people accidentally fell down and died. I can still remember the path back then. I can take you in."
"That's not necessary."
Tang En snapped his fingers, and a huge amount of magic burst out in an instant. He cast a levitation spell for more than forty people. Then he put away the off-road vehicle and flew into the sky. Following that, he used the Hand of Magic to drag everyone over the outer crater and directly into the inner part of the crater.
Xiao Ai's eyes widened, and she looked at Tang En with great admiration and said, "If we had this power back then, not so many people would have died."
She had wanted to be a guide and lead the way in, but she did not expect Tang En's solution to be so simple and violent. He just flew in directly!
"Don't think about it."
Mongol Kahn, who was next to them, said grumpily, "We have been in the human world for so many years, and we have not seen many mages with such strong spellcasting ability."
Vanilla was startled and asked Angus, "Master Angus, can you do it?"
Angus shook his head. "Yes, but not as casual as him."
In fact, flying so many people in the sky was not only a test of a mage's own Mana Pool, but also a test of a mage's control. Maintaining so many people in the sky and controlling their positions at the same time consumed an astonishing amount of mental strength. If he accidentally neglected some unlucky person, that unlucky person would fall to his death.
Tang En's strength was indeed far superior to Master Angus's, but …
Was there a higher realm above the legendary rank?
Could it be … a demigod?
Vanilla's expression became a little strange.
"The area inside isn't small. It's estimated to be one or two hundred square kilometers. The vegetation is also quite dense. It's completely different from the desolate plains outside."
Tang En flew ahead with them while looking for the shamans. "Where is the Double Moon Lake that they mentioned? If it's a large lake, it's impossible to miss it from high up in the sky … Xiao 'ai, do you know? "
"I've never heard of the name Double Moon Lake, but we've seen a lake here before."
Xiao 'ai looked down at the jungle below and said a little awkwardly, "But I can't tell where the lake is from the sky. I only remember that there was a huge oval-shaped boulder nearby …"
An oval-shaped boulder?
What the hell, could it be the meteorite that hit here?
Tang En began to pay special attention to the oval-shaped boulder, and his magic spread out in all directions to find the target.
But he didn't find the meteorite, but Tang En found a lot of traces of Orc activity.
"Found the target."
Tang En took the crowd and suddenly accelerated to the left, which was the central area of the impact crater.
"Boulder?"
"No, a large number of Orcs. At this time, only the shamans would gather here."
At this moment, Gorgon Crater had completely become the world of the shamans. If they entered from below, they would probably be discovered before they even stepped into the jungle. Traces of shaman activity could be seen everywhere in Gorgon Crater, but there were a lot of them gathered there.
Tang En looked down at the forest below and said, "I hope we can make it in time."
We must make it in time!
Vanilla clenched his fists and was ready for battle.
Soon they flew over the destination, and Xiao 'ai exclaimed, "It's here! That lake! And that boulder! "
After Xiao 'ai's reminder, Tang En found that the green tree in the middle turned out to be an oval-shaped boulder covered with moss. The front of the boulder was slanted into the lake, and from the sky, the entire lake looked like two opposite crescent moons.
"Double Moon Lake."
Tang En smiled and stared at the vague figures in the woods below. "We've found the right place."
Angus flew to Tang En's side and whispered, "The situation is a little troublesome. Are you still used to not making a move?"
"I'm thinking about it."
"A conservative estimate is that there are more than 100,000 shamans in the woods below, maybe more. It's impossible to defeat them with only the people you brought."
After all, shamanism had been passed down for thousands of years, and its followers were all over the Ryan Empire. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there were a million of them, let alone 100,000.
"What if we just execute a decapitation operation?"
Tang En said in a low voice, "After all, one of our missions is to find a shaman priest who can impart totem knowledge, and the other is to rescue Vanilla's sister. If we take their leader away, this cult should collapse on its own, right?"
Angus shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Tang En's idea. "This cult has been passed down for so long, it certainly won't collapse so easily, unless we can kill all the shamans here."
Tang En licked his lips and said, "Seems like a good choice."
"Are you crazy?!"
Angus was stunned. "There are hundreds of thousands of shamans gathered here. Are you going to kill them all? Even demons are not so cruel! "
"No, they're crueler than demons."
Tang En sneered and said, "I don't think they're civilized creatures who eat their own kind."
"That's right."
Mongol Kahn strongly agreed with this point: "They are just stupid and ignorant beasts, there is no need to pity them. Think about what they have done to the villagers of Pitt Village. It is not just them, there are many more people who have been persecuted by the Shamans. Killing them will benefit the entire Prandal."
"Are you done?"
Vanilla had already put on his boxing gloves and stared down coldly. "Can we start now?"
Angus shook his head and said, "You'll only get yourself killed if you continue like this."
"I just want to save Coco."
"Saving her is easy."
Tang En glanced at the buildings by the lake and said in a low voice, "As long as we can find Coco's location, we can save her."
"Then why don't we take action?"
"The problem now is how to completely eliminate the threat of the shamans."
In fact, Tang En had thought about it more than anyone else. He had come from Earth and had seen too many evil cults. He knew very well the bad influence these cults had on society, and they had to be completely eradicated.
But the troublesome part was that repairing the Scepter of the King in Irus still required the knowledge of the shamans' totems. He could not simply wipe them all out of Prandal.
"What do you guys think?" Tang En suddenly thought of a way. "How about controlling their leader and subtly changing the cult?"
"It's difficult."
Vanilla shook his head. "Do you think controlling the leader will change the way those people do things? You're too naive. "
"If you think about it carefully, you're right."
Tang En also rejected this idea. If the higher-ups of the shamans found that something was wrong with their leader, they would probably join forces to kill him and choose a new leader.
This was a type of cancer that had spread deeply and was incurable. The only thing that could be done was to completely wipe out all the cancer cells from the world.
"Then let's save Coco first, and then kill them all."
Tang En waved his hand casually. "Anyway, we can get the answer by interrogating their souls … Wait, the soul diamond is in the Martyr's Palace. I have to make preparations first."
Since they had decided to go on a killing spree, they could not let the souls of these orcs go. Even if their souls were filthy and worthless, they could be stored in the Martyr's Palace as consumables to maintain the stability of the demiplane.
[Nola, connect to the Martyr's Palace for me and call Victor.]
[Okay!]
Nola, who had been idling around to watch the show, was suddenly energized. She waved her small hand and opened a spatial passage to the Martyr's Palace. The next moment, Victor appeared in front of everyone in military attire with a confused look on his face.
"Tang En?" Victor became excited. "You finally have something to do?"
Although the Martyr's Palace was very leisurely and there was no need to worry about the Grim Reaper harvesting their souls, Victor and the other warriors were bored out of their wits. They had no choice but to fight every day to exhaust their excess energy. In any case, they were already souls, and this space would continuously replenish their soul strength. They wouldn't die no matter how they fought. Over time, these Einherjars formed a fearless fighting style.
After seeing Tang En again after a few months, Victor thought that he had forgotten about the Martyrs.
"I'm not asking you to fight. There's a batch of souls that you need to receive."
"Souls? Where? "
"The souls of the Beastmen below, but they aren't dead yet."
"Damn, you want to massacre the entire Ryan Empire?!"
Victor immediately became excited. "How long has it been? You've already attacked the Ryan Empire?! My god, the Irus Empire will truly prosper in your hands! "
"I'll have to disappoint you. We didn't fight our way here. I'll explain the details later. Later, activate the Soul Gem and guide those souls into the Martyr's Palace."
Victor nodded. "No problem, but how do you plan to settle them?"
Twain smiled coldly, and said, "These Orcs are all followers of Shamanism. Even death cannot wipe out their crimes. Just put them together with those guys from the Dark Serpent. I think it's always good to have more 'fuel'."
Victor's eyes flashed. "As long as you're not afraid of angering Calomarif by killing so many Beastmen, I have nothing to be afraid of."
"Do you care how many bugs die in your backyard?"
Tang En smiled brilliantly. "Now, let's start looking for Coco's whereabouts. After we rescue her, we'll act. I want these Shamans to live to see tomorrow's sun."
