Chapter 1316 Task Process
Precisely because they retain this hope, these members of the sect have not been ruined. Many of them are still holding on to their positions, waiting for the salvation brought about by successful research.
Of course there are members of the cult who have been ruined.
When Lu Mei discovered that there were too many members in a regional religious sect, she sneaked into the sewers here and found a rotten bug here.
The insect collapsed in a corner of the sewer, and the gorgeous religious robes on his body had been taken off and thrown aside.
“I didn’t expect that a stranger came here.” The insect even spoke, without any desire to attack Lu Mei.
Their area is already very famous at this time, and the place where time stands still has received a lot of attention.
Many people wanted to obtain this so-called eternity. In the early days, many outsiders naturally poured in.
More than one battle broke out between locals and outsiders fighting for land, but in the end most of them turned into living corpses.
A small number of people who had just come in and were not contaminated by the Worm of Time were lucky enough to escape through a special passage. After spreading the word about the horror of the Eternal Land, another group of people came.
But as most of this group of people stayed in the eternal land, gradually no one entered the eternal land again.
In the early days, there were also people who wanted to obtain the method to unlock the Eternal Land from the Worm Cult, but they all failed.
At this time, he either became an experiment of the Insect Cult, or he turned into a living corpse out of despair.
"I want to unlock this land." Lu Mei directly stated her purpose. The insect now has some shriveled parts in its body. Although it is not a living corpse, it is not healthy. In this case , directness is the best way to communicate.
"Hehehe, you all have the same idea." Chongzi said with a smile, but he immediately provided the corresponding information.
"When the Land of Eternity mutated, the leader of the academic sect in the city, Hollander, noticed the problem. He conspired with a group of outsiders to seize the holy relics used by the sect to perform rituals, and then used the holy relics on the edge of the Land of Eternity. It opened a hole.”
“Most foreigners escaped through this opening, which is now at the small gate of the southern garden.”
“Besides, there are three holy relics that he took out.”
“One piece was transformed into a key by him, but the other two have been lost.”
“Because the cult lost its holy relics, no matter how much research it was done, the results obtained were pitifully small.”
“Only you can achieve it now.”
“It’s just me?” Lu Mei frowned and asked.
“That’s right, in order to ensure that there would be no problems with his opening ceremony, Hollander created the exorcism lamp to target most of the living corpses.”
“You should have seen it before.”
Lu Mei nodded. The lamp she saw not far from the city gate was the so-called driving away lamp.
The ‘old man’ living inside is still active, but other living corpses do not dare to approach.
That lamp exudes the will to drive away, and any living corpse that approaches will be driven away.
“The people in the cult suffered heavy casualties in that battle. Even the cult leader, who was most completely transformed into insects, had traces of living corpses on his body.”
“The south garden is wrapped in the light of expulsion, and no one from the cult can enter. They can only wait for the arrival of outsiders.”
"However, after several non-living outsiders were sent out several times in a row, they would simply 'disappear' in the garden. I don't know if there was any danger there, so they were completely killed and suppressed, or if they found the key and chose to leave directly. "
“In short, the three original holy relics, as well as the Insects of Time created during the ritual, as well as some fragments of Time produced during the ritual, are closely related to the entire Eternal Land.”
“Only by finding them all can we find a way to reverse the impact of the original ritual and eliminate this eternal place.”
“Have so many things been thrown away?” Lu Mei couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t underestimate the impact of despair on people.” Chongzi said: “With the loss of the holy relics, the research progress of the members of the sect has been delayed.”
“More and more members are becoming desperate, and the traces of living corpses on their bodies are also increasing. This is the time to think about themselves.”
“The Insects of Time ran away not long after they were born. They couldn’t find them, so they naturally took the fragments of Time as their own.”
“These fragments allow them to enjoy the glory of time in this eternal place.”
“With no hope of unlocking the Land of Eternity, finding a place to live in seclusion and using the fragments of time to live a better life is what they want to do.”
“If your real purpose is to leave the Eternal Land, then don’t bother.”
“As long as you find the key of Hollander, which is at the small gate of the south garden, and as long as it is not contaminated by the worm of time, you can get out of this eternal land.”
“Although there may be unknown dangers in the garden, it is better than falling into despair here.”
As Chongzi spoke, he turned over and ignored Lu Mei.
It is as if the NPC has explained everything and only waits for the game progress to be completed before communicating again.
Lu Mei digested this information, and most of the information should be true.
With this in mind, Lu Mei continued to sneak into the sect.
They are using this method to fight against the degradation of their own souls.
Side by side, in the absence of crucial things, they performed the eternal rituals they had developed before. If it fails once, do it again, and then again and again, in this way, praying that one day, the ritual will suddenly succeed.
Lu Mei walked around a lot here, and he found that these people's reactions to the outside world had degraded to a certain extent.
As long as you don’t intrude directly into them as a living person, they won’t react and will continue to do their own thing.
This shows that their zombie transformation is serious to a certain extent.
Lu Mei found their ritual information.
The things recorded in it are not much different from what was said in "Putting Rotten Bugs", it's just a little more detailed.
The Insect Cult believes in eternity and they pursue eternal life.
By chance, they discovered the holy relics, which were piles of high-level powers.
It contains the power of time, so they wanted to use this method to create a bug that could stabilize its body and resist time.
Then, this kind of bug can coexist with the human body to realize the eternity of the human body.
Afterwards, they used two sacred relics related to eternity of life as the cornerstone of the ceremony.
Then the ceremony began.
The ceremony was incredibly smooth, and they completed the relevant preliminary work easily.
And the bug they wanted to create was successfully created. This is the so-called insect source of time.
The source insect has no ability at the beginning, and it only stagnates for part of the time.
They used the source worm as the mother worm and began to produce large quantities of time worms, and also strengthened the rituals.
Finally, the Time Worm integrated into this area, and the Origin Worm decisively fled and disappeared without a trace.
With only the function of ritual, a few fragments of time were peeled off from the time realm and fell into the hands of these people.
The Eternal Body became the Eternal Land, and the entire area was transformed into the current situation.
Subsequently, Hollander discovered the problem, and then led some residents, as well as foreigners attracted by the changes, to seize the holy relics.
Then using the south garden as a base, he created a light to drive away and opened a small door.
As a result, a group of people were seriously injured during the battle with the cult. They died more than once, and their bodies had already been parasitized by the worm of time.
Handle opened a small portal, and they could not leave the Eternal Land.
So that team also broke out into civil strife.
Some of them took away two other holy relics and hid somewhere.
It was also under this circumstance that the light of expulsion spread to all parts of the Eternal Land.
The statement about being able to leave through the small entrance in the garden was also spread back to the Order at this time.
Then there was really no one in the garden. Those who could leave left. Those who could not leave gradually turned into zombies. They couldn't stand the large number of driving lights in the small garden, so they were all driven away.
They did not want to mix with the living corpses, so they could only hold a small light to drive away the living corpses, trapping themselves, and began waiting endlessly somewhere in the city.
Afterwards, civil strife also occurred in the sect, and several fragments of time were stolen by some members of the sect. Apart from the rituals, there was nothing left in the entire sect.
Lu Mei then looked through some of the information collected by the sect.
It contains information about the fragments of time and the whereabouts of the two holy relics.
Among them, the ‘old man’ who had previously advised Lu Mei to leave quickly was suspected by them of possessing a holy relic.
Memorizing all the above information, Lu Mei started her own collection journey.
During this process, she also felt some subtle things, as if they were about to invade her body.
It was just this intrusion that she fixed with anchors and stopped it.
If nothing else, those things that invade are the so-called insects of time.
The insects of time are hidden in time. They are formless and basically unobservable.
In this eternal place, as long as there is a change, it will slowly be infected and parasitized.
If injured, the speed of this infection and parasitism will continue to accelerate.
Finally reaching a certain limit, it is completely connected to this eternal place and can no longer be separated from it.
The power of time is something Lu Mei has not yet controlled. She still needs to solve the problem here as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we really have no choice but to leave early from the small door and give up on rescuing this place.
First update, sorry.
