Start with liberation

The projection of Itakua, the anger on the terrifying face suddenly disappeared, staring straight at Wu Qing with a smile that was not a smile, and the voice echoed hollowly,

"No, you are not human, but the breath is very strange... Whose flesh and blood container are you? Nyarlathotep? Gauze Nicholas?"

Itakuya is rare among the old gods, can communicate with humans, and has the existence of divinity and humanity at the same time.

Wu Qing responded silently to his question, but he had heard Xiong Hua talk about the general situation of the belief in the old gods in this small thousand world before. Almost all the old gods were abandoned by this steam age and were incompatible with the steam society , a group of monsters that are about to perish...

The last days of the gods - this is how the age of steam was evaluated in Xing Zhe's exploration notes.

In the chat with Xiong Hua, Xiong Hua mentioned Nyarlathotep, an existence who likes to split into countless clones...

Wu Qing may have been mistaken by the projection of Itakuya for a new avatar.

But Wu Qing's thoughts were quickly interrupted again, only to hear Itakuya smirked twice and said,

"...No, no, you are not a vessel of flesh and blood... Interesting, neither a human nor a vessel of flesh and blood, but possesses the aura of an Outer God...Although it is not strong enough, I forgive your offense, if you want to Look for me, and come to the 'Gathering Place', the white city now named Toronto...don't hesitate, you will come sooner or later, after experiencing the power of steel and fire..."

The farther back the sound became, the more ethereal it became, like an echo on the lake in winter.

Finally, with a click, Itakuya's projection froze into ice and landed on the lakeside, washed away by the high tide of Donna Lake.

It was as if such a freak had never existed.

Wu Qing put away the Chihe Knife, wiped the bleeding from the corner of his mouth, didn't care, let out a cold groan,
"Crimson's threat level...forgive me, hehe..."

As for the breath of the Outer God?
Wu Qing pondered for a moment, it should be said that Doumuzheng Shengqiang and Molizhi Tiandharma Body.

"Heaven" means "God" in Sanskrit, and Malizhitian can also be called Molizhi God.

But these are not important, the important thing is...

Wu Qing looked around at the scene after the battle.

The slowly burning trees were gradually doused by the rain, and the gray smoke stood up, locked in the night rain.

All kinds of black scorching marks on the lake beach, the big crater blown out by the steam bomb, was soon infiltrated by the lake water, the stump of Denisa, the headless corpse of Epazojokan, and the unrepentant Karl, Three corpses were lying in a mess on the puddle of water on the lake beach, bleeding.

The four mules tied to the tree trunk screamed hoarsely after repeated explosions.

Even Wu Qing's body was covered in blood and mud, making him look quite embarrassed.

But after such a lively confrontation, Wu Qing still didn't know why Epazojokan teamed up with Denisa, a white wilderness monster, and why he attacked his side.

It's just that there is an extra curse in the status bar that I don't know what it does.

Like a ticking time bomb.

"are you crazy."

Wu Qing patted his forehead and cursed in a low voice, his face was stinky.

"It's just an inexplicable neurosis..."

After all, he didn't figure out what attack Epazoyokan and Denisa came for.

After the death of Epazoyokan, the phantoms of the thousands of Shaw warriors he guided also disappeared. At this time, the lakeside in front of the lake cave seemed a little empty.

Wu Qing suddenly thought that the phantoms at the beginning were not lethal, and what they did was to drive the remaining bounty hunters into the lake cave by intimidation.

Maybe that's the purpose?Drive everyone present into the cave...but this creates a new question, why do you want to do this?
no idea.

After all, it's just Wu Qing's guess. Maybe Epazojokan guided the phantom just to scare and disperse the bounty hunters before defeating them one by one.This is also uncertain.

Wu Qing stared at the dark lake cave for a long time, thinking about the conversation between Karl and himself before Denisa came.

Donner Lake, which was renamed 20 years ago because of the incident of the Donner Pioneering Brigade, was originally named Truckee Lake 20 years ago.

That is, on the treasure map that Wu Qing got, the location of the treasure is Lake Truckee.

His main purpose of coming to the Sierra Nevada this time was to find the treasure near Lake Truckee, as much as 1 ounces (500 taels) of gold.

Then by coincidence, gold was picked up at the mouth of a lake erosion hole on the edge of Donner Lake, formerly known as Truckee Lake.

Wu Qing took out the parchment treasure map from the mustard space, and the skin on her eyebrows wrinkled several times, looking very puzzled.

So, this treasure map may not be a treasure map, but a mine map?
That's right, the words "treasure map" were not written on this piece of parchment, just "gold" and some unclear words.

If it is an exploration map of an old miner who caught the first wave of the California gold rush more than 20 years ago, it is completely fine.

But this is a bit boring, he doesn't have time to play any real-life gold miner games, it's too slow.

Wu Qing's eyes narrowed tightly, and he glanced at the lake cave again. He didn't choose to leave directly, but threw the Doumuzheng victory spear into the sky, and the swift and violent figure like a shooting star took out the Le Faucier II in the air. Ten consecutive shots were fired seven or eight times.

The roar was incessant.

Holding the Doumu Zhengsheng gun, he fell rapidly from a height of [-] meters, and Wu Qing, whose sleeves were fluttering, took advantage of the flames of the explosive bomb to see the outline of the entire Tangner Lake.

Then compare it with Lake Truckee on the map... Wu Qing's face suddenly pulled down, and he used the bucket again, stepping on the ground and sucking his teeth.

Really, the contours are directly aligned, especially the position of the red cross, which happens to be the position of the lake erosion cave on the shore of Donner Lake.Wu Qing is now [-]% sure that Lake Donner is Lake Truckee, and the gold mine that the federal soldiers and bounty hunters are looking for is the treasure marked on the treasure map.

After a long time, Lao Tzu's treasure is actually a gold mine? !
If he is a native of this small thousand world, it's okay to say that if he is more ruthless, he may not be able to hold this "treasure" in his hands, but he is not, and it is estimated that he will return to the Heavenly Realm in about twenty days.

This time is not enough time to open a mine.

And if Wu Qing's previous guess is correct, the purpose of Epazoyokan's release of the illusion is to scare the bounty hunters into the lake cave where the gold was found, which means that he must have prepared a back move in the lake cave.

Coupled with the "Mountain and River Curse" whose effect is unknown, what if...

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, it is not Wu Qing's style to go to the mountains.

But just leaving like this, Wu Qing was not reconciled.

It's all here, why don't you go in and have a look?
Of course, the most important thing is that Wu Qing still has the energy to spare. Neither Dinessa nor Epazoyokan put too much pressure on Wu Qing. I don’t know how many games I have done in this small world. Except for Cao Zhuo, no one can make Wu Qing feel like he is in a dead end.

Enter the lake cave and have a look.

Now that the decision was made, Wu Qing found Denisa's cursed gun from the debris of Denisa's body.

Wu Qing was once reminded by Xiong Hua kindly that although after killing the monsters in the wilderness, you can use their cursed guns, but every cursed gun is a medium, between the old gods... To put it simply, the new owner of the Cursed Gun will almost without exception follow in the footsteps of the old owner and become the corresponding fanatic of the old gods.

This is why every wilderness is a cultist.

However, Wu Qing didn't feel any malice from the Cursed Spear, nor was it affected.Maybe it's because of inheritance or the influence of Dharmakaya.

So from a strict definition, Wu Qing is not a wilderness stranger, he is not a cult member, he is an oriental qigong master holding a cursed gun in the eyes of others...

Back to the moment, Denisa's [Walker Revolver Deathwind Attendant] should be the only spoils of this battle.

It's fancy looking, with cartouches on the bolt and hammer, deep carved white feathers in the wooden patch of the handle, and a small silver cap box with a small spring mechanism at the end.There is a raised rib in the middle of the barrel, with English words embedded in gold, which translates to:
"I am also outside the world."

The Walker was an early model of the Colt revolver.

Aside from the skills of this cursed gun, the craftsmanship and loading method are too backward. The old-fashioned loading method is to fill the horn powder cartridge with black powder, then stuff it into the projectile, and then compress it with a folded pressure lever.It is more troublesome than the paper fixed bullets of Le Faucher [-].

The power is not as great as that of Le Fusher Twenty, and the skills are not as direct as Le Fusher Twenty.

Wu Qing glanced at it twice, then threw the [Dead Wind Attendant] into his mustard space without interest.

I plan to spare it, or find a way to consign and sell it after I go back.

Then he couldn't help but cast a disgusted glance at the corpse of Epazoyokan. He had already dealt with the three cold-blooded Xiao people, and they were all oily... How could he not be disgusted?

After tidying up briefly, Wu Qing took a look at the whitish body of former captain Karl on the ground, and shook his head. In the slowly falling drizzle, he walked into the dark and damp lake cave without looking back.
