Chapter 218 - The Terrifying Tributary (2)
Chapter 218: The Terrifying Tributary (2)
Even after walking out of the fog, Situ He still had lingering fear in his heart.
He turned his head to look at the fog world that was gradually dissipating.
Situ He understood that the fog was still there.
However, the moment he walked out, the fog world had already been hidden in another dimension.
Only a special method or a special token could open the path to the fog.
He turned off his precious flashlight and took a deep breath.
“Are you still there?” Situ He looked at the book in his hand and asked.
He didn’t get any response.
It seemed that the voice that reminded him in the fog had already gone away.
Situ He thought for a moment and knew that the voice was probably the guard sent by the owner of the bookstore to escort him safely through the fog.
That was why he was able to escape unscathed in front of so many terrifying monsters!
He thought about what he saw in the fog.
The three-legged giant monster had rows of compound eyes that flickered like electronic components.
Groups of glowing spheres floated forward from the fog. The fluorescent light on its tentacles was still colorful even in the terrifying fog.
And the lump of flesh wriggling in the depths of the fog!
That crazy strength and terrifying radiation energy, even the fog was boiling as it wriggled.
And these terrifying monsters!
Any one of them could probably bring the world to eternal damnation!
However, they scrambled to line up and went to the bookstore in the fog in a very disciplined order.
According to the voice, they were paying tribute!
In other words, the owner of the bookstore in the fog was the owner of these monsters?
“It seems that our estimation of him is still too low!” Situ He thought, “His status is probably beyond our imagination!”
Therefore, he walked back to the parking space beside the Quiet Street, opened the car door, and picked up a satellite phone in the car and dialed.
“Commander-in-chief…”
“I’m out!”
“Yes, it’s very safe!”
“But…” Situ He said seriously, “Commander-in-chief, I’m afraid that the coefficient of our estimation and evaluation of him is still a little low!”
“Yes…”
… … … ..
Walking through this strange jungle.
Ran Bing felt her hair stand on end, and her scalp went numb.
Because..
The jungle of this underground world..
The large trees around her..
All seemed to be living animals!
Thump! Thump!
The sound of heartbeats rose and fell in this jungle.
The layer of humus under her feet was lightly stepped on. There were faint dark red blood clots that were stepped out from the withered leaves.
Under the crumpled bark, one could clearly feel that there was blood flowing.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
As she moved forward, an unsettling feeling came from the top of the tree.
Ran Bing’s vigor was high. It was as if countless pairs of eyes were peering at her from all directions.
“What the hell are these things?” Ran Bing asked.
But she didn’t get an answer.
Only the rifle in her hand was emitting layers of faint halos.
These halos transmitted to the surroundings.
It made this forest quiet.
Until Ran Bing walked out of this forest, she wasn’t attacked.
Even so, she still couldn’t help but let out a breath.
That forest made her depressed!
Walking in it, it felt like walking in hell surrounded by countless monarch level scarlet beasts!
But..
She didn’t have time to think too much.
Because it was already dark.
When she raised her head, she could see that on the rocks at the top of the pyramid, the cubic crystals were being extinguished one by one.
It was as if they had entered a cycle or started a new pattern.
Fortunately, Ran Bing already had night vision.
So, she could still clearly identify the road ahead.
Yes!
In front of her, an Old World Asphalt Road appeared.
Although it looked old and dilapidated, weeds had even appeared on the road.
But this was an asphalt road!
Ran Bing walked on this road, she even saw some ruts.
Obviously, a long time ago, there was a heavy mechanical vehicle driving here!
Continuing forward, after walking for about half an hour, Ran Bing found an abandoned gas station.
A sign that was already full of rust was lying at the entrance of the gas station.
Ran Bing flipped the sign over.
She saw the letters on it.
God!
Simple, clear, and straightforward three letters.
It also made Ran Bing’s pupils contract.
She knew very well what God represented in the Old World and the western culture?
It was the Lord, the God.
It was the Redeemer, and also the Judge.
Under the rusty metal signboard, Ran Bing saw the symbol of the umbrella.
“So… They found something here that made them think that they could evolve into God?” Ran Bing thought, “This made them so arrogant that they even named a gas station after God!
God’s gas station!
With a rifle in her hand, Ran Bing walked into the gas station where most of the buildings had collapsed, leaving only ruins.
In the ruins, Ran Bing found a blurry map.
After carefully identifying it, she recognized that it was a traffic map.
The map showed the outline of this underground world.
The dot and the center were the pyramids.
The three letters “God” were highlighted in red.
There was no doubt that this gas station had been built before the Old World collapsed.
Ran Bing took a deep breath when she thought of this.
Just as Ran Bing was about to leave the ruins of this gas station, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a picture frame buried in the ruins.
She walked over and picked up the photo frame.
It had been buried here for a long time.
The protective layer of the photo frame had been completely corroded, and the photos inside were a little blurry.
But..
The man in the photo who was wearing an umbrella uniform made Ran Bing feel a little familiar. She felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
She held the photo frame.
She finally remembered.
“It’s in floating city…” Ran Bing looked at the young man in the photo.
His appearance was too similar to the Pope of the Church of Light in floating city!
They were practically carved from the same mold.
So..
“Either the Pope of light is him!”
“Or the Pope of light is his descendant?”
No matter what the outcome was, it led to a terrifying question.
That was, the umbrella still controlled and affected the surviving humans to this day!
In fact, thinking deeper…
The floating city could be their plan!
This made Ran Bing’s hands and feet go cold!
She couldn’t help but think of the actions of these churches in the floating cities.
They had proclaimed their beliefs and doctrines.
They had declared that the old world had been destroyed because they didn’t believe in their gods.
They had declared the abolition of all social systems in the Old World.
They didn’t recognize fathers, sons, siblings, families, and marriages.
At the same time, they never came to the surface and never participated in the gathering of resources.
In the past, Ran Bing had thought that they were cowards.
But now it seemed that..
It wasn’t as simple as being cowards!
… … … … ..
Han Li stood on the sailboat and steered the small sailboat across the ocean.
Along the way, all the monsters in the ocean saw her from afar and ran far away.
That was because, behind Han Li’s sailboat.
It was dragging a terrifying big fish!
This fish was completely red, and its body was secreting some thick mucus. Its three huge red eyes bulged out.
On its abdomen, four tentacles had already drooped down.
Obviously, this was a terrifying creature that all the monsters in the ocean were afraid of.
But now, it was killed by Han Li!
Its blood was still flowing out.
And its heart was held in Han Li’s hand.
Plop! Plop!
The heart that was still beating strongly transmitted a message of begging for mercy and submission.
However, Han Li turned a deaf ear to it.
Beside her ears, rustling murmurs continued to urge her.
“We have to hurry!”
“There’s not much time left!”
These murmurs were unprecedentedly lively.
The ‘Spiritual Sacrifice of the Deathwalker’ in her arms also continued to beat, urging her.
Almost a day had passed.
There were only two days left!
Two days later, the Great Ruler’s tribute channel would close.
Who knew when it would open again?
In any case, it wouldn’t be the time that humans had in mind.
Images kept appearing in front of Han Li’s eyes.
One terrifying creature after another passed through the fog.
They were lining up to pay tribute!
Yes!
Tribute had to be queued up!
The Great Silver Key would put the tributes into the fog in order.
If they were late, the tribute channel would be closed.
Therefore, Han Li knew that she had to act as soon as possible.
Find a qualified tribute as soon as possible!
“One hour!” She looked at the heart in her hand and said, “In one hour, I have to reach that archipelago…”
“The archipelago where the Shadow Devil Queen’s teleportation portal is located!”
The heart beat violently and sent a message of consent.
“Very good!” Han Li threw the heart back into the chest of the strange fish.
When the heart fell into the chest, the strange fish immediately regained its vitality.
Then, it began to pull the sailboat with all its strength and galloped on the surface of the sea at an unimaginable speed.
In space above its head, a satellite captured this shocking scene.
It was a huge, terrifying fish, a huge sea monster that had once sunk a human aircraft carrier.
It was pulling a small sailboat as it sped on the surface of the sea at supersonic speed!
This super S class sea monster that was recognized by the United Nations Security Council was now even more docile than a house cat.
“General Han has become stronger!” A representative said.
“Yeah!” The other representatives were also amazed when they saw this scene.
Now, Han Li had been awarded the title of major-general of the United Nations Security Council!
This was a reward for her contribution!
Because almost all the powerful countries had started to build schools according to the knowledge recorded in the book provided by Han Li, and selected a large number of young people.
Moreover, there were already students who had awakened the talent of Arcana.
Without relying on the strength of monsters and evil spirit, mankind had mastered the power of psionic power for the first time!
Although the power of Arcana was still very small at the moment!
But..
Everyone knew that as long as they continued to push forward.
One day, mankind could rely on their own strength to reclaim the world!
Destroy the monsters and evil spirit and bring peace back to the world!
But..
Looking at Han Li now, all the representatives knew that they knew too little about this miraculous demon hunter!
“Where is she going?” One of the representatives asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
But..
Judging from the route, the representatives were clear.
Major-general Han Li was going to the archipelago that had fallen.
The archipelago that was occupied by countless monsters and evil spirit.
It was also one of the few dark-black fallen territories that the United Nations Security Council had marked!
The land that was almost completely eroded by the world known as the Abyss!
So..
“What is major-general Han Li going to do there?”
“She plans to reclaim a piece of human land by herself again?”
The representatives thought in their hearts, looking forward to it.
… … … … … … ..
Ling Pingan yawned and pulled the shutter down.
It was already 12am.
It was time to sleep!
So, he locked the door and said to the cat bastet, “Little darling, you should be tired today!”
“Sleep early!”
Meow!
The little guy meowed softly.
Then, he slowly climbed his head onto the soft towel.
Ling Pingan looked at the cute little girl and was very satisfied.
So, he turned off the light and walked upstairs with his phone.
Creak, Creak, Creak. The sound of the stairs echoed in the bookstore.
Soon, Bastet heard the sound of its owner entering the house.
So, it raised its head gently.
The amber cat’s eyes looked out of the glass door.
Meow!
The kitten meowed softly.
In the fog, there were already countless monsters lining up.
Among them, there were countless terrifying existences that could easily tear bastet into pieces along with his divine kingdom.
However..
The kitten raised its head gently.
Meow!
It meowed softly.
Paying tribute was never a simple thing.
Bastet remembered that he had watched a television.
It seemed to be called journey to the west. At the end of the television, the four master and disciple went through a lot of hardships and finally came to mount numinous and obtained the scripture.
However, what they obtained was only a blank scripture.
Buddha had personally said that the scripture could not be passed down lightly, nor could it be taken empty.
If he wanted the true scripture, he would have to exchange it for real gold and silver!
Now..
It was just so-so!
He wanted to pay tribute to his master?
The quality of the tribute was, of course, guarded by the Great Silver Key.
But..
As his master’s pet.
How could bastet let these guys complete the tribute easily?
The silver key did not need any benefits because other than its master, no one else could satisfy the Silver Key’s wishes.
But he..
Was still a pitiful, weak, and helpless kitten!
So!
Bastet stood up, and he gently stretched his body.
The pyramid was reflected behind him.
Want to pay tribute?
Give me the benefits!
Otherwise..
Meow!
A cat meow echoed in the bookstore.
A faint blue flame fell beside him.
A green vine phantom quietly appeared around him.
The three of them worked together and stared at the door, at the edge of the thick fog, at the guys who were about to pay tribute.
