Don’t panic when the apocalypse comes, stock up on food first and then guns

In his words, "A useless person is not worthy of being your master."

Just like that, Wuweizi put all his effort into it.

During the day, they worked with the Taoist and Buddhist sects recruited from the three major bases to set up the Seventy-Two Spirit Gathering Formations, and at night they helped the man-eating tree absorb the energy from the tree's heart.

In order to show off in front of his favorite future disciple, the old guy actually took out his best skills.

After working day and night, he looked visibly more haggard.

This also resulted in the man-eating tree's speed in absorbing the tree heart skyrocketing with his assistance.

Unlike in the past, when the man-eating tree consumed a lot of energy, its size would grow larger, but this time, there was no change in the size of the man-eating tree.

Even to the naked eye you can't see any difference.

If Jiang You had not been able to feel the energy continuously being injected into his body through the man-eating tree, he would have thought that this old Taoist priest was deceiving him.

Half a month later, after the last bit of energy was absorbed, only a crisp shell remained in the tree core, which broke into pieces with a slight pinch.

The seventy-two spirit gathering arrays around Black Moon Village have also been set up.

Jiang Youshi didn't ask too much about the spirit gathering array.

She didn't understand these Buddhist and Taoist things at all. They were totally beyond her scope of knowledge.

It just makes me dizzy when I see it.

But one has to admire the three major bases. The number of people from the Buddhist and Taoist sects they called upon numbered tens of thousands in total.

He also learned it from Wang Qichuan.

The Seventy-Two Spirit Gathering Formation is actually intended to snatch vitality from the abyss.

Chen Meiyu tried her best to absorb the vitality from the ground, and they couldn't stop her.

So he decided to take a different approach and follow Chen Meiyu's example by absorbing the vitality directly from the abyss. Compared to the vast area of ​​the ground, the size of the abyss was only about the same as ten thousand mountains.

It is still unknown who will be sucked dry first.

"Absorbing the vitality of the abyss..."

Jiang You was shocked. "You really dare to think so. The energy of the abyss is disordered and chaotic. No one knows what the consequences will be if we absorb such vitality energy."

Wang Qichuan, "We have tried using a small spirit gathering array to absorb a large amount of abyssal energy. Those Taoist and Buddhist practitioners will be the first to undergo irreversible changes."

He took Jiang You to the entrance and said, "The previous small-scale spirit gathering array was presided over by three Taoist masters. Facts have proved that the spirit gathering array is effective, but... the backlash is a bit serious..."

He pointed in a direction.

Jiang You looked over and saw the outline of a not-so-large, abandoned formation vaguely visible among the grass and trees.

Wang Qichuan's men peeled away the man-high weeds, revealing a stone sculpture sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Humanoid stone sculpture.

Whether it is the patterns on the clothes or the mistiness of the whisk, they are all portrayed vividly.

Even the cricket that fell on the head of one of the Taoist priests looked lifelike.

"This is..." Jiang You didn't think that anyone could have such a miraculous skill, unless it was true.

Wang Qichuan, "Among the three Taoist priests, two of them were drained of their vitality by the Spirit Gathering Array while they were in charge of it. The remaining one is so deformed that he is not willing to see anyone yet."

"Two?" Isn't there only one stone sculpture in front of you?

"What about the other one?" Jiang You asked.

Wang Qichuan pointed at the ground under her feet, and Jiang You noticed that she was standing on something soft and wet, like ground weeds.

But unlike normal ground vegetables, these ground vegetables are thick, and stepping on them feels like stepping on a ball of gelatinous substance.

Wang Qichuan, "This is another person who lost his life. He melted directly into water, even his bones disappeared.

It’s right under your feet.”

Jiang You, "..."

"Do other people know the consequences?"

"Everyone knows it." Wang Qichuan nodded.

"Then they..."

"Yes!" Wang Qichuan interrupted Jiang You before she finished speaking.

“Everyone knows the possible consequences, but those who can gather here are willing to bear such consequences.

Jiang You, actually I have lived for decades and I still don’t understand this world.

There are many selfish people, many kind people, and even more vicious people, but there is one type of person that I can neither become nor laugh at.

Everyone who came here knew clearly the consequences of the spirit gathering array.

But they are willing, willing to use their lives to turn the tide..."

Jiang You thought about the people who had participated in the sacrifice before. Those people were deceived by her.

However, these people from the Buddhist and Taoist sects are now aware of all the consequences.

Even though he knew how dangerous the outcome was, he still threw himself into the flame and gained nothing.

Just like the high priest of the Tower of Dawn.

They throw themselves into the flames one after another, just to fight for a possible future for future generations...

Seeing these people, Jiang You felt a little upset.

I hate this kind of people the most, they make themselves look like less than human.

At this moment, with the entrance to the abyss as the center, the Soul Gathering Array and the Soul Locking Array are winding around like circles of iron chains, surrounding the entrance to the abyss in the center.

Not far away, a skinny young Taoist priest was arguing with a monk.

He calls me "bald donkey" all the time.

He always says "stinky nose".

The two argued fiercely over which of Buddhism and Taoism was more orthodox. They said it was a debate, but in fact it was just a quarrel. It was hard to tell that they were comrades in the same trench.

Wang Qichuan followed Jiang You's gaze and said, "Jiang You, people like us are destined not to become heroes."

"Cut~"

Jiang You sneered, "What's the point of becoming a hero? Like the high priest, with no body left but a name in the world? Fame is for the living to hear, not the dead."

She glanced at Wang Qichuan and said, "Wang Qichuan, stop it. Why are you trying to brainwash me? Just say what you want to say!"

Wang Qichuan chuckled, "There is indeed something I would like to ask you for a favor."

"what's up?"

Wang Qichuan said, "People from the Taoist and Buddhist sects in this world are almost certain to die if they enter the spirit gathering array. I know that you have a kind of fruit..."

Jiang You interrupted him, “The fruit of the man-eating tree does contain the power of fire, but it can only increase vitality and cannot guarantee immortality.

And after eating the fruit, life and death will be in my hands.

The people you have gathered are not just ordinary people. Are you willing to hand them over to me like this?"

"We can't use your fruit for nothing..."

Wang Qichuan laughed and said, "And if the vitality of the ground is really sucked away, we won't even have tomorrow, so what is there to fight for?"

Jiang You nodded, "That's right. What about after the spirit gathering array? What other plans do you have?"

Wang Qichuan shook his head, “What happens next depends on whether the Spirit Gathering Array can be successful. If it succeeds, we can talk about the future.

If the spirit gathering array fails, then there is no point in saying more."

Jiang You sneered, "Still keeping me in suspense? Never mind, I don't really want to know. I'll give you the fruit tomorrow."
