black wizard Zhu Peng

Some people say it is a miracle of ancient civilization; some people say it is a fake polished by modern technology, the biggest lie of this century; some people say it is a god of salvation, which can save the world from being destroyed before the end of the world... …

Zhu Peng flips through books at a very fast speed, with dozens of lines at a glance, like a photographic memory, and almost never picks up a book to read it again after putting it down, so after this journey, as time goes by, he The books stacked beside him are already half the height of a person.

"Qino, is there anything you can gain?" Kidman sat in the co-pilot's seat, she turned her head and asked.

"Most of the content written in these books is hearsay, but in terms of basic division, the crystal skull seems to be the most powerful in three aspects: calculation, prediction, and resurrection of the dead. Even if it is a legend, it must have relevant basis Yes, the civilization inheritance of the exterminated Taiguli people is also closely related to these three aspects." Zhu Peng closed all the books, slightly closed his eyes and raised his head, and began to sort out his thoughts comprehensively.

Wizards majoring in virtual brains are best at this aspect. At this moment, Zhu Peng seemed to be a terminal processor in the center of a huge database, abandoning all his emotional calculations, and completely based on the current situation with absolute reason and the highest perspective. There are data to deduce the future, which is also the origin of the ability of the "Virtual Brain" meditation method to predict the future. A simple understanding...is scientific fortune-telling, based on all known information, to deduce a certain possibility of future development, That is, trend operation.

Take the Sino-Japanese War as an example. At the beginning of the war, Western countries overwhelmingly believed that China, which had undergone drastic reforms, would definitely win, because the difference in national strength and war potential between the two sides was unreasonable, but the Sino-Japanese War really started The semi-colonial and semi-feudal China at that time was defeated in front of the Japanese modern war at a speed that stunned the western powers.

This is the fragility of feudal farming civilization in the face of modern industrial civilization, and the gap in rank.

However, in the end, China won the final victory as the Western countries initially thought. This is the so-called trend calculation.

On the gambling table where the two sides are shopping, Japan has 7000 million chips, and China has [-] million chips. No matter how good the game skills of the Japanese are, China, the powerful fat man, will bet again after losing. In fact, as long as he wins, Japan will spit out the profits it took before.

Because the big fat man on the opposite side pressed it and refused to let it get off the table easily.

Therefore, after the war, China did not want Japan's war indemnity at all. Although that sum of money was large, it was dead money. China wanted Japan's interest-free loans and technical assistance.

Technical assistance, this is the key to turning dead money into living money, and interest-free loans tie Japan to the chariot of China's economic development... If you want me to pay back this money, don't be in technology To a certain extent, the manipulation of aid is also the result of the founding leaders deducing the future with absolute rationality and a supreme perspective.

It's cool to ask for a large amount of war reparations, but that money can't save China. Let this country have modern technology and industrial foundation as soon as possible, which is the real salvation. As for the interest-free loan, I still don't want to pay it back. Besides, even if it is repaid, the interest-free loan, is the 40 yuan 1 years ago the same as the 1 yuan now?

Besides, why should I pay you back the money I borrowed with my ability?You have to go back on your own.

Just imagine, if China was defeated that year, Japan would still provide large amounts of interest-free loans and technical assistance?

After all, this is a cruel world that speaks by strength. The past, present, and even the future have never changed.

At dusk that day, Zhu Peng met with Miss Milu, the client of this mission. The three of them lived together in the small town of Stern next to the Sodaro Forest, almost listening to the Taiguli people in the Sodaro Forest. Horror legends grew up little by little, which is why Miss Meru's younger brother Dart had the idea of ​​exploring this ancient forest.He then confirmed the horrors of the forest.

"Hello, Mr. Constantine Chino, you have always been my younger brother's most admired idol, may I ask, shall we enter the Sodaro Forest now?" Miru is wearing black-rimmed glasses, although not beautiful but A very intellectual girl, she shook hands with Zhu Peng a little excitedly.

Zhu Peng noticed that the girl was wearing a work suit, and she seemed ready to enter the forest anytime.

"I understand the urgency of you and your family, but on the one hand, my assistants are already tired, and on the other hand, I need to do some preliminary investigation... It's been two weeks, so let's take another day to let us It’s worth the extra preparation, I think.”

"...Okay, sir, you are the most professional, I will listen to you." Hearing this, the girl seemed a little downcast, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed with Zhu Peng's statement.

"Kieman, go to the client's house and check Dart's room to see if there are any clues left behind. Vicki, go hire the best forest guide or hunter in the town and explain the situation to him. The commission might be higher. A little bit." After gaining the client's understanding, Zhu Peng assigned a part of the work to Kiman and Wei Qi, while he himself went to the Sodaro Forest alone with the Burning Crossbow on his back.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, this town relies on the Suodaro Forest, there are actually a lot of loggers and hunters, and if the scope of work is only on the periphery, there will be no problem.

The primeval forest in front of me is too vast and huge, and the remains of the Taiguli people's civilization are in the deepest core of this forest.

Snapped!

After shooting a fat hare with one shot, Zhu Peng retracted his revolver, walked over to take some hare's blood and put it in his palm, then poured low-grade holy water to dilute it, and the two blended peacefully without any strong reaction.

(There is no negative energy radiation effect at all, and the power is completely absorbed in the core area? At least, the animals and plants in this area grow naturally.)

"Are you here to hunt deer? If so, then you have to go further inside. I am Jill Kant, the best hunter in the area. It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhu Peng observed the Suodaro Forest At that moment, a robust middle-aged man with silver hair in a gray vest turned out from the depths of the forest.

Holding a double-barreled shotgun in both hands, he walked to the front, admired Zhu Peng's marksmanship, and then extended his palm to shake hands with him.

At this moment, Vicky trotted over from the direction of the town. He was slightly limping at this time, but it was not obvious. The growing strength of his body and the speed of his pace made up for his shortcomings.

"Teacher, Jill Kant, the best hunter in the town, went hunting today. Should we hire someone else, or wait another day?"

"No need, they've already delivered the goods to your door." Zhu Peng said after looking up and down Jill Kant, who was holding a double-barreled shotgun in front of him.

……

That night, at the client's home.

A ball of Fierce Fire burned in the palm of Zhu Peng's hand, and then he "pierced" it into Wei Qi's thigh. Wherever Fierce Fire went, the bone spurs disappeared, and its power almost recast the boy's thigh bone.

After the completion, his palm revealed a soft light again, healed Vicki with the holy water, and quickly completed this simple operation.

"Try it and see how it feels." Zhu Peng said Ruoyan after stopping his hand.

Vicky, on the other hand, spit out the glue stick he was biting, stood up and walked around the room with a sweaty but excited expression.

"Teacher, it's completely healed, my leg is completely healed!"

"...If this mission wasn't very dangerous, I wouldn't have cured this leg for you at all. During your disability, your hard work in cultivation has increased by 20.00% compared to the past, especially for the damage to your legs. Exercising, if you can continue to do this and heal your legs after many years, your leg skills can be very good, but you can’t take care of it for now.” If you lose your current life because of the pursuit of future achievements , will inevitably appear stupid.

"Teacher, will this task be difficult?" Wei Qi asked seeing Zhu Peng's serious expression.

"The Taiguli people in the most prosperous period had extremely high civilization achievements in the feudal era. Their calendar and astronomical system have been amazingly accurate so far. They are a race with a population of one million...but in one day The space is completely destroyed, how far do you think the power to destroy it has reached?" Having said this, Zhu Peng sneered.

"But that's why it's so interesting."

The next day, under the guidance of the jungle hunter Jill, a group of people who bought a lot of forest equipment entered the Suodaro Forest.

Jill Kant is a widower, middle-aged, widowed and childless. He is a man who loves hunting and adventure. Once people are interested in his work, the depth of his research is often unmatched by ordinary people.

That's why Jill can become the strongest hunter that the town deserves. Every year, just taking tourists into the forest to hunt deer, he can enjoy a leisurely life, but this time his hunting goal has become different, from deer hunting to hunting. Ghost hunting.Of course, Zhu Peng's reward was generous enough.

In the dense and humid jungle environment, a group of seven people moved forward slowly.

Zhu Peng, the guide Jill Kant, and Milu's siblings. Among them, Miss Milu's younger brother and younger sister were underage, but they insisted on dying together. Zhu Peng tilted his head and chose to let them go.

Jill Kant walked in the front, followed by Kiman and Vicki, then the three Meru siblings, and finally Zhu Peng who was wearing a windbreaker and carrying a burning crossbow on his back.

The first and middle stages of the journey were still very peaceful, with Jill Kant, the strongest local snake, saving a lot of tedious troubles, but when they arrived at the goal two days later and found the tent that Dart had set up before, the situation gradually became weird stand up.

"This doesn't look like the scene of a mountain bear attack. It's too clean. It's not winter. If it was a mountain bear, it wouldn't drag all the dead bodies away." The aggressive beasts during the mating period will indeed attack tourists' camps , but under the premise of sufficient food, most wild beasts will not eat a large amount of human meat, unless there is a very lack of salt, otherwise the high bio-accumulation in the human body will discourage wild beasts.

"There is no trace of eating the obvious food, and the belongings in the tent have not been taken away. The other party came here purely for killing and hunting...the possibility of being a monster is already very high..."

In the end, before Kiman could say the word "too high", Zhu Peng suddenly pulled out his revolver and shot into the dense forest.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, when the six-round revolver hits the third round, the fast shadow running among the bushes can be seen vaguely.

It's just that his running speed was extremely fast. With Zhu Peng's marksmanship at this time, he was still only staggered on the fifth shot, and the sixth shot was sure to hit the opponent's back, and the other four bullets were all empty.

"Don't chase." At this moment, Kidman and Wei Qi drew out their guns, but Zhu Peng stopped him.

He himself moved over and poured some low-level holy water on the blood spilled by the opponent after being shot. The light golden solution reacted violently with the black red blood, and the holy water rustled as if it had suddenly turned into sulfuric acid. White smoke rises from the foam.

(The right owner has been found.)

"Vich go ahead, all of you stay on guard here, don't disperse and leave if it's not fatal." Throwing the burning crossbow behind Vicky, compared to Kiman or this kid who spent more time practicing crossbow skills, At the same time, Zhu Peng cast a spell to summon the Vajra Giant Ape to stay and protect everyone, while he followed the newly summoned Scarlet Fire Dog to chase and kill the monsters running far away with blood and breath.

Among the dense forests, Zhu Peng chased for more than 20 minutes with a scimitar, and finally found an elk with a piece of flesh and blood on its horn and a claw on its buttocks by a small stream.

(It has a certain intelligence, and has the ability to counter-chasing and hide its own breath.) The elk was too tired to run at this time, and Zhu Peng went up and took the piece of meat that the monster had dug out of himself from its horn. The flesh and blood did not let the dog of red fire smell it again, but used it as a medium to activate the power of the fate card, and disordered memories suddenly flooded into my mind again:

Gorgeous and magnificent forest buildings, splendid civilization settlements, noble and sacred high priests in red... Then the camera turns sharply, and the panic-stricken adults are talking about doomsday prophecies, crazy high priests and red-eyed religious... Warriors, a scene of blood, like a hill of burned corpses, on the stone tower, the sacred crystal skull gleamed with blood, and the high priest standing on the corpses of his clansman laughed wildly until he He was also engulfed by the bloody light.

(I found it, the doomsday prophecy, the family blood sacrifice of the Taiguli people...so that's it.) As the power of fate dissipated, the flesh and blood of the monster in Zhu Peng's hands turned into something like ashes, and he threw it away casually up.

Now the power of destiny is extremely precious, and Zhu Peng would not be willing to use it if it was not important enough, but if the religious artifact sacrificed with the blood of millions of people can bear it, it means that it is at least an epic demigod, and it is worthy of him. Waste a little.

When Zhu Peng returned to the previous camp on the same road again, the scene was in a mess. The King Kong giant ape had been attacked and dissipated. Not too much.When they saw Zhu Peng walking out of the dense forest with a scimitar in hand, everyone let out a long breath.

"Originally, I planned to go to Gaotan City to hang out with Mr. Constantine Chino after finishing this vote. Now it seems that the job of a witcher is really bad. I'm still an honest person in my hometown. Be my guide." Gil Kant suffered a paw on his back, and the injury was not serious, but after being washed with holy water and bandaged, there was no problem in his movement, and he was talking and laughing at this time, and his mood was actually more exciting.

"Teacher, the ogre did come to attack us again after you left, but I shot a crossbow at its arm and repelled it temporarily." Wei Qi walked up and handed back the burning crossbow, but Zhu Peng He waved his hand and refused.

"There is no need to hold on to it anymore, I have found the location of its lair. Dalt is indeed not dead, but I want to remind you that the next journey may become more and more dangerous, although we will not endanger it. Protect you as long as your own life is safe, but you have already started to be injured, if you continue to walk, I am afraid you will die." The first half of the sentence was said to Vicki, but the second half of Zhu Peng's sentence was It was to Miss Miru, the entrusting task.

Zhu Peng is reluctant to talk to this lady with glasses, because the name of the other party is quite convoluted when addressing her, especially this woman is often very stubborn.

"You are already an adult and the guardian of your younger siblings. Naturally, you have to bear the price for your choice. If you continue to move forward, you and your younger siblings are likely to die, but if you go back at this time, you will also have to face The danger of monster attacks... The mission I accepted is to hunt down and eliminate monsters. Protecting you is actually not within the scope of our duties. In the round just now, my assistant has already protected you once. In the next journey, I will They will never be allowed to put their lives in danger because of protecting you, although it is too much to say, but do you understand what I mean?"

"...I understand, Mr. Constantine, but if I can't see my brother, I can't feel at ease at all. My younger brother and sister feel the same way as me. After the death of our parents, our brother and sister live together, and we are a whole. "The girl thought for a while, hugging her younger siblings and saying this.

"Admirable family affection, disgusting stupidity." Shaking his head, Zhu Peng raised the silver revolver in his hand, and he took the lead in walking towards the remains of the Taiguli people.

The Taiguli civilization is one of the five major jungle civilizations in the world. It has outstanding achievements in astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, art and mysticism. The concepts of Taiguli wizards, Taiguli tricks, etc. are widely used in this world. However, such a civilization that once reached a population of one million in its heyday was completely destroyed in a day.

In a normal world, this kind of thing has been investigated countless times by archaeologists and troublemakers in that world, but the entire Suodaro Forest is very close to the edge of the world's great rift, so under the influence of civilization restraint, The one-day destruction of this civilization with a population of one million has been downplayed or even forgotten.

When Zhu Peng and others came to this relic of civilization, the city of the jungle, what they saw was a huge building half jungle and half city, lacking human habitation, the vitality of Sodaro forest was slowly disappearing its former traces, However, among the ruins, we can still see the prosperity and glory of this civilization in the past.

It is not easy to build such a stone city purely with handicrafts. Although it is impossible to compare with modern cities, the stone city is still filled with a thick history and simple magnificence.

The Taiguli people especially like the slate murals, which depict the astronomy and calendar of their civilization, historical contributions and biographies of heroes.

"Oh, according to the Taiguli people's calendar, our current era seems to be coming to an end, the end of the world. It turns out that the end of the world is not over, but they died first, which is really interesting." Because of the vivid descriptions on the slate murals, even if Kiman and Vicki didn't understand the Teguli characters, they could still get a rough idea.In particular, Jill Kant and the Miru siblings are all locals, and they more or less know something about the Taiguli people, and they are willing to tell Kiman and the others.

While looking at the slate murals and listening to the explanations of his companions, Vicki, holding the burning crossbow, said something with a smile, but his teacher gave him a very strange look, which made the young man Feeling a little strange in horror.

"That's right. I'm afraid it's not a good thing to see through the future that one's own strength is not enough to deal with first. The Taiguli people will die because the development of astronomical derivation is too clever." Zhu Peng walked ahead, and he followed the trajectory of fate. Guidance, he quickly found the monster's lair after turning around and turning around.

That monster was actually the only son of the holy high priest of the Taiguli people, and the only survivor in that bloody catastrophe. It was just a child who witnessed such a tragedy, and then grew up slowly on the mountain of corpses, with long-term negative energy. After being soaked, it will soon become half-human, half-demon, half-human, half-beast, especially since this place is close to the edge of the world's great rift, the breath and power of the lower plane are more likely to grow and infiltrate.

From Zhu Peng's point of view, it might be easier and happier for that child to die under his father's scepter.

Chapter 29 Deathly Hallows, Epic Power

Dalt was hung in the mid-air of the grotto, struggling to survive with the sewage falling from the top and the dripping flesh of unknown meat. After half a month of tossing and tossing, he was only more than a mummy. Just one breath.

However, in his trance vision, the entrance of the grotto suddenly opened, and the tall and strong monster that deeply frightened him came to him with a stench and blood.

(Finally...it's my turn, am I going to die too?)

Emotions also need energy as a driving force. Dalt, who was almost exhausted, didn't feel much fear. He even felt relaxed and calm to die.

The neck was bitten by the fangs, and the pain hit. Just as the vision gradually dimmed, the sound of gunshots and the dazzling light of the knife suddenly pierced the young man's perception.

Dalt's eyes widened instinctively. He saw a man in a black windbreaker with a scimitar fighting with the demon in this small cave.

The classic image of holding a revolver in his left hand and a silver scimitar in his right hand gradually became clear in Dalt's mind...Konstantin...Mr. Konstantin Chino?

This cognition, this name, this man seems to have a magical power, Dart inexplicably rekindled the flame of survival, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, after Zhu Peng came to this world, Constance Ding Qino gradually became known as the strongest demon hunter.

Accompanied by the sound of gunshots and the brilliant light of the sword like a silver moon falling from the sky, the terrifying and strong demon let out an earth-shattering loud howl, and then it fled out enduring its own serious injuries.

Glancing at the young man's bleeding neck hanging in mid-air, Zhu Peng didn't know what kind of mood he was in, after all, he didn't chase him up and even killed the demon with his hands.

Either because Dart's injury became more and more dangerous as it protracted, or because of a little pity for this unfortunate child, or because of the vigilance hidden in his heart, in short, Zhu Peng chose to let go of the devil and walked quickly In front of Dart, he bit off the stopper of a bottle of intermediate holy water and poured it on his neck and face.

"Hold on, don't relax, you are breathing now, you can't die if you hold on, and no one can save you if you don't hold on." Pour the remaining half tube of holy water into the opponent's mouth as a stimulant Here, this usage is the same as that of ginseng, which hangs life but does not cure injuries. After doing all this, Zhu Peng untied Dart from the rattan rope.

At this time, faint gunshots and desperate wailing came from outside. Zhu Peng frowned slightly, and then he supported Dart with one hand, and the two walked out of the devil's secret lair together.

After walking out of this cave, the first thing I saw was Jill Kant holding a double-barreled shotgun, standing triumphantly on the black-haired demon corpse. It seemed that after Zhu Peng was seriously injured and escaped, the demon In the end, he was picked up by the people who followed behind.

Vicky used the Burning Crossbow, and Kidman used two treasure-level firearms, plus Jill Conde, the instantaneous firepower output of these people is not weak at all.

"younger brother……"

"Dart!"

When the three Milu siblings saw the young man supported by Zhu Peng, they all jumped up with ecstasy on their faces. Zhu Peng let go and pushed the messy Dart to his relatives.

Seeing the black blood flowing from the monster's body continuously seeping into the ground like water stained with a sponge, Zhu Peng frowned slightly.

The originally peaceful Stone City of the Dead was gradually surrounded by a cold wind gushing from the Nether World, and the surrounding forests were buzzing, as if countless people were whispering a name!

"Let's go, there seems to be something wrong here."

Since Zhu Peng, an expert, said so, the others are of course following the good example. However, when everyone ran a few steps away, Zhu Peng suddenly turned around and saw Jill Kant standing there with a dazed expression. move.

"What are you thinking? Let's go!"

Looking at Zhu Peng, Jill Conde grinned, and then bloody red water overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and then the most outstanding hunter in the town fell to the ground with a bang. Behind him, the head that had just clearly The strong demon who had already lost his breath stood up at some point, pulled out Jill Kant's heart with one claw, and then swallowed it whole in front of Zhu Peng.

"Roar!!" After devouring the heart, the devil roared and roared, his animal nature was like a tide!

Accompanied by the roar of this demon, the entire Taiguli city of the dead began to shake violently around it, the sky began to bleed, and a chaotic and majestic magic power spread from the cracks in the depths of the ground. The high priest of the Taiguli people back then, relying on his absolute religious authority and military strength, sacrificed the entire ethnic group with blood. The primitive priests of the million level, if the level is enough, the evil gods of the fifth level extraordinary will look sideways.

Even if the level of the Taiguli civilization itself is too low, there is a serious waste of energy utilization, and only one percent of the million-level power can be effectively used in the end, it is already a very terrifying magic power unit. The reason why the third-level Taiguli civilization can sacrifice blood to the fourth-level bloody holy artifact: It really worked hard, and finally forced a qualitative change through quantitative changes.

"Run to the distance, one can run out is one."

(So ​​that's how it is... I said why the holy high priest of the Taiguli people, who sacrificed the entire ethnic group, would be soft on his son at the last moment. It turns out that he was intentionally left as a key, and his blood is to wake up this sleeping The alarm clock of civilization.) The wind howled, the earth shook, and cracks in the ground spread like dragons and snakes, and at the same time, the entire sky was gradually rendered bloody red.

At the very center of the Taiguli Stone City of the Dead, on the top of the dilapidated cone-shaped stone tower, at some point, a crystal skull exuding an incomparably sacred and terrifying brilliance appeared.

Under its illumination, a semi-illusory skeleton wearing a blood-colored sacred priest’s clothing condensed in the void. He spoke the ancient religious terms of the Taiguli civilization. Local people like Dalt and Dalt couldn't understand what he was talking about, and they only felt that the sacredness and solemnity should not be offended.

But Zhu Peng understood it through the Spy Shadow system using the source energy as the medium. Although it is complicated and convoluted, the core connotation is: after a long and eternal sleep, the great holy clan is finally guarded by the power of the crystal skull. , Return to the world again, and repeat the supreme glory of the sacred family.

(...The crystal skull, the highest sacred object of Taiguli civilization, is the most powerful in three aspects: calculation, prediction, and resurrection of the dead. It turns out that when the doomsday is coming, deduce the most likely way to survive the doomsday, and finally get The blood sacrifice of the family, and then the conclusion of the resurrection of the family, his only son is the coordinates left by the Taiguli people in this world... The most tortuous road I have ever seen in my life is your fucking routine, but this Is it possible for complex extreme micro-management to work?)

He ordered Kiman and the others to run out at full speed, but Zhu Peng also knew that it was impossible to run out.

The holy high priest of the Taiguli people, who was as terrifying in planning and execution, flipped his hands into the clouds and covered his hands with rain, oppressing this area so much that the sky collapsed. The living sacrifices within the enveloping range easily escaped?

Holding a revolver in his left hand and a sacrificial silver knife in his right hand, Zhu Peng rushed towards the stone tower in the center of the dead city. His strength at this time was already able to perfectly display the effect of the magic leather windbreaker on his body, and plundered with all his strength. When it was galloping, the magic fur trench coat flew up like a pair of black giant wings.
