Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 142: Supporting Tianshan Mountain (XIV)
As the people from the noble family took action, the other temple priests also followed suit.
In an instant, the entire mountain top was in chaos.
But at this moment, a young hand picked up the token.
Everyone was stunned.
Because the one who picked up the token was the sacrifice, the token had fallen not far from them.
Previously, these offerings were restrained by the temple priest's creations and could not move.
As Lu Ran used the token to recover the power of a group of temple priests, some of the creatures disappeared due to lack of power, and some children naturally gained freedom.
It’s just that everyone’s attention was focused on Lu Ran and the token, and no one cared about these children.
Even if they were free, they wouldn't be able to leave here.
However, no one expected that one of the children would pick up the token.
“Don’t worry, he can’t activate the token without power…” After all, the old temple keeper has lived a long time and knows some obscure knowledge: “Go and get the token back and continue the sacrifice!”
One of the temple priests nodded, and a hemp rope appeared beside him, flying towards the child to tie him up.
Instead, the people from the noble families who had been in the front chose to stop and wait and see.
"Who said I can't use it." The child looked at the flying hemp rope without any fear. Instead, he smiled and raised the token in his hand.
The hemp rope suddenly collapsed, and at this moment a large amount of golden particles burst out of the temple priest's body, and all his strength returned to zero.
"The sky is lonely!" Liudao Huantian spat out these words with an ugly expression.
"Oh, I've been recognized." Tian Jiliao touched his head, with a hint of embarrassment on his childish face.
Tian Jiliao, who disappeared as soon as he entered this illusion , turned out to be one of the sacrifices.
He was under control from beginning to end. No wonder he couldn't respond no matter how Denghuo contacted him before.
If you look closely, you will find that there is something a little strange about the solitude in the sky.
"You are not a child?" A person from a noble family asked this question in surprise. He was quite familiar with children, and his own strength was also related, so he could see the weirdness of Tian Jiliao now.
"There's nothing I can do. I was chosen to have a special identity." Tian Jiliao did not deny this. His current body was not that of a child, but a dwarf.
According to his identity, he was a hidden man prepared by Feng Hesheng, who infiltrated the sacrificial team in the guise of a dwarf, and then waited for an opportunity to complete the destruction.
"The mountain god..." A temple keeper was calling the mountain god in a daze.
When they asked the mountain god whether he was satisfied with the sacrifice, they were letting the mountain god judge whether the sacrifice was qualified.
But the mountain god did not respond to this.
In this case, even if Lu Ran did not call a halt to the sacrifice, there would still be problems with their sacrifice this time.
Although spare sacrifices were brought, when unqualified sacrifices were offered, it would only cause the blood cocoon to rupture, allowing the source of annihilation to overflow.
The mountain god must be unaware of the seriousness of the problem, but he still remained silent.
All it can be said is that at this time the mountain god has completely given up on them, the temple priests.
Although these temple priests have been restricting the mountain gods in overt and covert ways, they seemed a little lost when they were completely abandoned.
"I see. I have to thank you!" Liudao Huantian glanced at Lu Ran, then paused and said, "Let's cooperate!"
He is a cold-blooded and rational creature of self-interest. Even if he is very angry at the moment, he will force himself to make the right choice.
This is the situation at the moment. The other party has the source of their power in their hands.
Now the only way to go is cooperation.
Otherwise, it would be a fight to the bitter end, and all of them would lose their power.
Even if they surrounded and beat Tian Jiliao to death, they would not be able to fight against the punitive team that was on its way.
Of course, he was also looking for an opportunity. If Luo Pingchuan could still use his ability to transfer the token out, they would still have a chance.
And even if they cooperate, there must be master-servant and strategy.
"You can't use this token many times!" Liudao Huantian and others did not stop their actions. They said while separating Tian Jiliao and Lu Ran.
Tian Jiliao’s current situation is similar to Denghuo’s. His mind is special because of his original body, but no matter how special it is, there is a limit.
Tian Jiliao now doesn’t even have a medium to use his power, so he can only rely on his mind to forcefully activate the token.
"You can try." Tian Jiliao was wary of the people from the aristocratic families who might suddenly take action.
He and Luo Pingchuan are now like gunmen in a western duel, wary of each other. Whoever strikes first will win.
However, because they were not sure, they chose to remain deadlocked.
To be honest, Tian Jiliao has a greater advantage now, and it would be safer to eliminate Luo Pingchuan's power first, but he did not do so because Luo Pingchuan's ability is very useful.
According to the current situation in the world, if you want to save the world, you must use some special powers.
According to his observation just now, Luo Pingchuan is relatively special. She can use the power of her own dream erosion relatively easily. As long as she doesn't explode with force, she doesn't need to worry about damaging her mind.
Mixed in with the sacrificial team, Tian Jiliao also obtained a lot of information.
"Anyway, our goal is the same, which is to obtain the inheritance." Liudao Huantian said seriously: "Let's cooperate. When the expedition team arrives, you will hand over the token to us, and then we can solve the current world's problems together."
“That’s very sincere.”
"If you are sincere, then tell your people to stop." Tian Jiliao's heart moved, as if he was about to activate the token in his hand.
When he said stop, he was referring to those people who were quietly preparing to attack Lu Ran.
For the aristocratic family camp, Lu Ran was a man who deserved to die no matter what.
Betrayed them twice and caused so much trouble at this critical moment.
Not to mention, the only person who can use the token on a large scale and is willing to stand against them is Lu Ran.
As long as Lu Ran dies, Tian Jiliao will not be able to use the token many times.
Whether they cooperate or fall out with each other, they are in an active position.
This is also the reason why they separated Lu Ran and Tian Jiliao as soon as possible, and even wanted to kill them directly now.
"Impossible, the traitor must die!" Liudao Huantian refused to compromise.
"Don't worry about him, he has concerns, just do it!" As he said that, Liudao Huantian's gaze fell on several people from aristocratic families.
Obviously, these people are the victims of this operation.
They would take the risk of Tian Ji Liao taking their power back.
If I die now, I may not be able to inherit the legacy.
But it was obvious that they did not have the confidence to resist, because the other people from the noble families who had not been ordered tacitly put pressure on them at this moment.
They have no way of breaking away from the will of the group. If they resist now, they will only be ostracized by the aristocratic families in the future, and may even cause resentment from their own families.
Besides, this is just an illusion. It seems that there is no problem in giving in once in the illusion...
So these people had no choice but to obey Liudao Huantian’s orders.
Tian Jiliao narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything more. Instead, he held the token tightly, ready to take action at any time.
Every decision and every action will determine the direction of everything in the future.
But at this moment, a sound of wind suddenly came from a distance.
The man in golden armor rushed forward, and the golden armor on his body made a crackling sound due to the pressure brought by the sinking sky. The man's face turned red and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
But it didn't stop there.
With his arrival, more people rushed to the top of the mountain.
The expedition team has arrived.
