The sudden disturbance made all the participants realize that something was wrong.
However, this kind of demon ghost that had transformed from a human was not strong in combat.
Lin San was able to kill one person with a spear. The other participants were all slightly stronger, so they naturally wouldn't suffer any substantial damage.
However, as the number of participants increased, the participants also felt that it was troublesome.
Seeing the townspeople gathering in one place, it naturally attracted the attention of the contestants.
At this moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room heard the shouts of the residents of the small town and started discussing.
"Are these illusions or reality? How strange!”
"What are they shouting?"
"I think he said, Earth Lord?"
"What is a local god? I've never heard of it before!"
"Could it be the title of some official position in ancient times, like the county magistrate or something?”
"Perhaps, but to be honest, I've never heard of it.”
"The Earth Temple is where the Earth Lord lives?”
"Living in a temple? Could he be a monk?"
"Could it be that this Earth Temple can protect them?”
"How strange."
"I have a feeling that something big is about to happen!”
“……”
Yunxiao, who was moving with the crowd while paying attention to the comments in the live broadcast room, could not help but fall into deep thought.
Just like what the viewers in the live streaming room said, his memories proved one thing.
That was, the Dragon Country in this world, regardless of whether it was history or unofficial history, and even the records of various books with different aspirations, basically did not have a truly systematic mythological system.
The mythical stories and mythical characters that he was familiar with in his previous life had not been circulated in this world at all.
Even if there were some wild gods who fabricated small stories, they could not withstand scrutiny. Over time, no one paid attention to them.
Most of the legends in this world were based on folk heroes and martial arts stories.
During festivals, they only worshipped their ancestors and not the gods.
As a result, when they heard the word 'Earth Lord', no one knew what it meant.
In a world without any myths and legends, the title of 'Earth Eunuch' suddenly appeared in the forbidden land!
Yunxiao, who had the memories of two lifetimes, was keenly aware that there must be a huge secret in it!
With doubt in his heart, Yunxiao quickened his pace and ran in the direction where the crowd had gathered.
Along the way, more and more people were invaded by the black ghost qi. The more they went, the stronger the mutated demon ghosts became and the bigger their bodies became.
Initially, Lin San only needed one shot to kill one.
Now, he needed more than five moves to deal with one.
Moreover, the speed of the demonic ghosts 'mutation was still increasing!
It was even to the extent that some Ghost Commanders who were not strong in speed would be immediately surrounded by more and more demonic ghosts as soon as they were caught up by a large demonic ghost. No matter how strong they were, they would not be able to escape the fate of being surrounded and dismembered by a large number of demonic ghosts.
"It's over. Squad 22 has been wiped out. The live broadcast signal has been cut off!”
"Team 6 has also been delayed. Only one of the three escaped!”
"Zhang Hao of the seventh team was forced to use a secret technique to release his spiritual power and barely saved two members!”
"Team 11 is gone too!"
“……”
Through the bullet screen in the live-stream, Yunxiao also learned about the terrible situation of the other teams.
Normal villagers couldn't communicate or come into contact with them, but mutated demon ghosts were real demon ghosts that could eat people!
There were originally only 30 people left, but now, there were only a dozen people left.
Finally, after a battle with the demons, the destination that the townspeople had high hopes for finally appeared in front of them.
Earth Temple!
"We've arrived at the Earth Temple!"
"Everyone, quickly go in. The Earth Lord will definitely protect us!”
"You'll be fine after entering the temple!"
"Earth Lord, save me! Please save us!"
"Save me, Earth Lord!"
"My child, my poor child!”
“……”
Finally, they charged into the temple with all their might. The residents of the town wailed and cried, kneeling and kowtowing to the statue of the earth god in the temple.
At this moment, everyone also saw that the demons and ghosts that were originally running wildly stopped outside the Earth Temple and did not dare to enter.
In fact, most of the demon ghosts even screamed in fear and fled far away.
The other participants who followed him into the temple also saw the statue of the earth god worshiped in the temple.
He had white hair and a white beard, and he had a kind face. He was sitting on an armchair, holding a large walking stick in his left hand and a large gold ingot in his right hand.
There were a few words carved on the plaque above the statue.
'The God of Virtue, the Earth Duke.'
He was not much different from the Earth Lord in Yunxiao's impression.
The others, as well as the viewers in the live broadcast room, were also surprised when they saw the statue.
"I thought the Earth Lord was a human. I didn't expect it to be a statue.”
"Wow, those monsters really stopped outside and didn't dare to come in.”
"Some of them even ran away in fear!”
"A statue is that powerful?”
"Righteous God Fu De, Earth Duke? Could it be that there really are gods?"
"This old man looks kind. I didn't expect those monsters to be so afraid of him.”
"With the protection of this Earth Temple, we should be safe for the time being.”
“……”
The audience was surprised by the magic of the Earth Temple.
However, Yunxiao kept frowning as he looked at the statue of the local god.
Because he could clearly sense the emotions of the demons and ghosts as they retreated.
The instinctive fear was not like the fear of evil spirits towards gods. Instead, it was more like the fear of a small animal being devoured by a ferocious beast.
Moreover, according to the situation at the beginning, this town should have been abandoned for a long time. Those villagers should have all passed away.
If what happened just now was a repeat of history from many years ago, and the villagers outside were devoured by demons and ghosts, then how did these villagers who ran into the temple die?
Thinking of this, Yunxiao's eyes narrowed when he looked at the statue of the local god again.
"Be careful, there's something wrong with this Earth Temple. Let's retreat first!”
As soon as Yunxiao said that, the others were stunned, as if they did not understand what he meant.
Yunxiao did not care about the others. He pulled Lin San and Yaya out of the temple, one in each hand.
At this moment, an unforeseen event occurred!
Whoosh ~
The kind earth statue in the temple suddenly emitted a thick black gas. In less than a second, it filled the entire earth temple.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the environment of the entire Earth Temple changed drastically!
It was dark and eerie, and there was a ghostly aura around them. There were ghosts crying and screaming in the surrounding black gas, making people feel annoyed.
What shocked the contestants even more was that the ground beneath their feet began to soften in an instant. As a large number of pitch-black shadows appeared, familiar figures slowly emerged from the ground.
It had the head of a bull and the body of a human. Its four limbs were like hooves, and it held a steel fork.
It had the head of a horse and the body of a human. Its eyes were blood-red and it held two hooks in its hands.
Roar ~
It was the Ox-Head and Horse-Face that they had encountered before!
