Chapter 240 Temptation
For some reason, Lie clearly didn't know what sitting cross-legged meant, but he understood it immediately and understood it very clearly. Even in their previous conversation, there was no language barrier between the two. This surprised Lie, who realized it later.
Without giving it much thought, he immediately sat down cross-legged according to the analysis of this strange existence.
"Close your eyes and concentrate..."
With the help of the strange core, Lie, who had never meditated before, fell into a meditative state very smoothly.
Then in the next second, wisps of slightly dark spiritual energy quickly appeared in his body.
As requested, Lie absorbed them.
As time passed, his mental strength gradually grew.
Ten minutes later...
There was a silent loud noise, and some energy fluctuations appeared around Lie's head.
Feeling the power of breakthrough, Lie opened his eyes instantly and said in ecstasy, "I broke through, hahahaha... I finally broke through!"
The Weird Core listened to the mortal's wild laughter, and his heart was filled with contempt.
What is there to be happy about when the strength increases to the level of an ant?
In his eyes, Lie's strength was just like that of an ant, equally small and pitiful.
Moreover, the laughing Lie did not realize that as he made a breakthrough, his mind had been somewhat polluted...
After the intense ecstasy, he murmured to himself, "No wonder that stone often sits cross-legged and closes his eyes. So this is what he is doing?"
"So that's how it is. No wonder his strength has improved..."
It was not until then that Lie finally understood how the stone that made him jealous to the point had managed to achieve the breakthrough.
Because just now, with the help of the strange core, he also felt the feeling of meditation and realized the benefits of doing so.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, the Weird Core felt even more surprised.
What happened to that stone?
Just when he was confused, he heard Lie said respectfully, " What do you need me to do?"
After tasting the sweetness, he couldn't wait to continue the experience.
Keep improving and then surpass that stone!
Lie's eyes were full of desire.
The strange voice echoed in his mind.
"Humble mortal, I need you to perform a ritual using the flesh and blood of your people..."
When Lie heard that this strange existence actually wanted him to sacrifice a thousand of his fellow tribesmen, he was shocked.
Because of the strange core, he directly understood what one thousand was.
If we really have to offer sacrifices, at least half of our fellow tribesmen will die!
Lie was scared.
Sensing the strange core of his thoughts, he could not help but snorted, "Foolish mortal, just a thousand tribesmen, what is this?"
" As long as a few years pass, the population will naturally recover, and you won't lose anything. On the contrary, as long as you complete it, I can not only grant you invincible power, but also eternal life, allowing you to live forever."
"Think about it, after a while you will die of age, and then everything will disappear."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Invincible power, and eternal life..."
The devil's words, whether true or false, echoed in Lie's mind very temptingly.
As these words came out, Lie's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Just as the Weird Core had expected, after tasting the sweetness, Lie, who heard the news, did not directly choose to refuse. Instead, he breathed rapidly and fell into hesitation.
The strange voice laughed.
"Mortal, don't worry. I can give you time to think about it. You will make the right choice one day."
Now this mortal's strength is still too weak, and he can't complete the task at all. He needs to spend some time to improve before he can complete the blood sacrifice task.
The longer time passes, the more sweetness this mortal will taste, and the more he will be influenced by him, and he will naturally make the right choice at that time.
The weird core laughed.
Lie didn't know what the Weird Core was thinking, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.
While the two of them were discussing things, Su Qi, who was watching from high in the sky, also heard everything they said.
"Sacrifice, summon the real body?"
Su Qi frowned.
Even a trace of consciousness is so powerful, what will happen if the real body descends?
"Forget it, let's take a look first."
After hesitating for a moment, he did not stop it immediately.
Because he was not sure whether he could eliminate that consciousness.
"Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. If we can't eliminate them, we will be exposed..."
In particular, the true identity of that strange guy is still unknown. If it is exposed rashly, things will be even more disadvantageous to him.
Being cautious, Su Qi shook his head and decided to wait and see how things develop for the time being.
Moreover, misfortunes often follow blessings, and blessings often follow misfortunes. Things are always a mixture of good and bad. Things that seem to be unfavorable to you may not necessarily be without benefits.
"Speed up the deduction." Su Qi said.
[Time is passing...]
Things are constantly changing.
Soon, the sky became completely dark, then became bright again, and it was the next morning.
In the morning light, the white-haired Stone and the youthful Lie met.
The two passed each other, and Shitou didn't react at all, while Lie's reaction was quite big.
There seemed to be a ball of fire in his eyes. He stared straight at Shi Tou's back, and a hint of fighting spirit quietly appeared in his eyes.
Um?
Shitou was very sensitive and noticed something immediately. He turned his head and looked behind him. He saw that it was a stranger from the same tribe and was a little puzzled.
He noticed that there was something wrong with this man's eyes, and there was something strange about him, but he didn't know what exactly was strange.
Noticing that the strange fellow turned and left, Shi Tou also shook his head and turned to leave.
"He is the stone?"
The overlapping strange sounds were a little surprising.
"Yes." Lie replied respectfully.
“It looks like nothing more than that.” The Weird Core sneered.
Lie was surprised and said, "That stone broke through twice, and this is just like this?"
The Weird Core said calmly, "It's a little strange that he could break through twice, but that's all."
"You can't see it, but I can see it clearly. That mortal has been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time and can't break through at all."
"Being able to break through twice is already his limit. With that short-sighted mortal, there is no way he can break through a third time."
"You are different. With my help, you will surpass him sooner or later..."
The weird core laughed.
Lie was delighted when he heard this.
[Time flies by, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye...]
Lie, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass, suddenly felt his body shaken and waves of energy appeared on his body.
After calming down, Lie looked proud and laughed wildly, "Hahahaha... I made another breakthrough!"
However, before he could laugh for long, a scornful voice interrupted him.
"You are such a waste! If you hadn't absorbed so slowly, you would have broken through long ago."
Lie's expression froze when he heard that, and his arrogant expression disappeared, a little collapsed.
