Chapter 196 The Man-Eating Monster
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

On the morning of the third day, Lin Ze received a notice from the sect and came to the headquarters of the sect to perform a power-enhancing ceremony.

The person in charge of the ceremony was a high-ranking disciple named Gao Jianhai.

After arriving at the headquarters of the sect, Gao Jianhai took Lin Ze to the prayer room.

It is said to be a prayer room, but it is actually a spacious and bright hall. There is a tall statue in the center. It is the fire infant, the god revered by the Fire Infant Sect. The image is exactly the same as the photos in Chihuo City.

The two stopped in front of the statue, and then Gao Jianhai explained in a solemn voice: "The ceremony is very simple, just pray as usual, and ask the gods to grant the power of the flame."

Lin Ze glanced at the statue, recalling the information about prayer in his mind, and after a pause for a few seconds, he knelt on one knee, closed his eyes and made a gesture of prayer.

As soon as the idea of ​​praying to increase the power of the flame surfaced, he felt a connection appear in the depths of his mind.

Following the connection, Lin Ze vaguely felt a scorching and fiery will.

"We got in touch, so is it possible that there really is a god?" He was surprised in his heart.

Although the name of this copy of the game is "Ability God", Lin Ze has always been dubious about whether there is a real god. Some suspect that the Fire Infant Sect is just using the name of the god to maintain the rule. It was not until this time that his doubts in his heart were shaken.

"However, this will seems a little weird."

In Lin Ze's feelings, this will is filled with a lot of flames, scorching and blazing, which is very consistent with the identity of the god who controls the power of flames, but in addition, it also contains traces of tyranny And distortion, but the latter is hidden very deep, he can only feel it faintly, but can't touch it deeply.

And when Lin Ze's thoughts came into contact with the surrounding flames, he felt his whole mind tremble, and suddenly he woke up from his prayers. He opened his eyes and found that the statue in front of him had a faint crimson light at some point, followed by Little particles of light overflowed from the surface of the statue, floated in front of Lin Ze, and gradually condensed into a light-colored light cluster the size of a pigeon egg, crystal clear like a ruby.

"This is the power of flame." Gao Jianhai next to him suddenly said, "Catch it and absorb it."

Lin Ze stretched out his hand according to his words, and let the ball of light slowly land on his open palm. As soon as it touched the skin of the palm, the ball of light instantly submerged into his body like ice water melting.

In an instant, he felt that he was much more closely connected with the energy of the fire element in the air.

Call out the panel and see that the flame power has increased to 2 scales.

"It's only increased by 1 scale." Lin Ze felt a little speechless, but after thinking about it, the flame power has become twice the original scale. If you think about it this way, the increase seems not too small.

"Okay, the ceremony is over here." Gao Jianhai interrupted his contemplation, "I hope you will continue to work hard to increase your strength and strive to raise the member level again as soon as possible."

"I understand, thank you." Lin Ze got up from the ground, paused, and asked, "Deacon Gao, may I ask, what is the scale of the flame power possessed by the three-star disciple?"

Gao Jianhai glanced at him and said casually, "3 scales."

"Every time a member of a formal disciple increases a level, the flame authority that can be possessed increases by one scale in turn. Only when he reaches a high-level disciple, the scale of flame power possessed will increase significantly."

Lin Ze nodded suddenly, his eyes glanced at the flame embroidery pattern on the chest of Gao Jianhai's uniform, and the five groups of flame embroidery patterns represented the latter's status as a five-star god disciple.

"I don't know how much the flame power of the five-star disciples is?"

Doubts are doubts, looking at Gao Jianhai's appearance, he probably wouldn't tell himself, so Lin Ze wisely didn't ask any more questions.

After the ceremony, he immediately switched to the terminal to exchange skills, and then went to the public hall to practice, and found that the fire element energy he could control had increased a lot, almost doubled.

"Sure enough, the power of flame is actually equivalent to the authority to manipulate the energy of the fire element."

Lin Ze opened his palm, and a fist-sized flame condensed in his palm.

As the power of the flame increased, it became easier for him to do this kind of thing, but the flame power of 2 scales was still a long way from being able to manipulate the flame freely, and he didn't know how many scales it would take to reach the point of freely manipulating the flame.

Shaking his head to disperse the flames, Lin Ze continued to practice.

Late at night, in the living room.

Lin Ze sat on the sofa, watched the clock on the wall go to twelve o'clock, felt that the whole world became quiet for a moment, and just as usual, he left the residence and went to the street outside.

He explored almost the entire city center in the past few nights, but still found nothing.

"According to that heretic girl, the phenomenon of late-night devouring happens every night. In other words, the unknown danger that causes ordinary people to disappear appears every night. If you continue to search, you will encounter it sooner or later. It's just that I don't know how long it will take. time."

Lin Ze thought for a while, and decided that he would no longer hide his body carefully like before tonight, but search directly and wantonly to improve the search efficiency.

Just like when he was tracking the heretic girl, he used aura to condense a visor on his face. After covering his face, he walked to the middle of the street and began to search around.

After not having to hide his body carefully, Lin Ze's efficiency has improved a lot. He quickly searched around the building, and then simply condensed his flame wings and flew up to the sky to look around.

After flying four to five hundred meters along the main avenue, he finally saw Youdao's figure flashing away a thousand meters away.

Seeing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but be overjoyed, flapping his flame wings, his whole body flew out like lightning, and arrived at the sky above a park in less than ten seconds. After feeling it for a while, he soon noticed a breath hiding in the fountain in the rear garden.

He scattered the flame wings and fell directly from the sky, hitting the hard ground like a boulder, making a muffled bang, which shocked the people hiding in the flower garden.

"Ah!! Don't eat me! Please don't eat me! I have three highs! It doesn't taste good at all!"

Lin Ze looked at the shivering man lying on the grass like an ostrich in front of him. He was wearing a home pajamas with a lot of dirt and dust on it, and he was missing a slipper on his feet. He looked very experienced. I ran away in a panic.

After the man yelled in horror, he lied on the ground with his head in his arms, but after a while, he found that there was no movement behind him. He raised his head carefully and looked back. When he saw Lin Ze, he was stunned for a moment.

"You, are you human?"

"Same as you." Lin Ze said.

Hearing this, the man couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then looked Lin Ze up and down for a while, and after confirming that he was human like himself, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hold, I'm sorry!" The man came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly at Lin Ze, quickly got up from the ground, and then remembered the scene just now, and opened his mouth again, "Wait, wait! Then you just How come from the sky."

This guy's reaction is half a beat slow!Lin Ze thought to himself.

Without waiting for him to explain, the man suddenly came to his senses: "I understand, you are a disciple of the Fire Infant Sect! Isn't that right!"

Lin Ze didn't answer. It's not a good thing to admit that he is a disciple of God at this time.

However, the man clearly recognized that he was a disciple of the Fire Infant Sect, and suddenly became excited.

"That's great, Master Shentu. I thought I was the only one who encountered this kind of thing. The whole city seemed to disappear suddenly, and there was no one in sight."

Lin Ze interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Li Hua."

Lin Ze nodded and continued to ask, "You just yelled not to eat you, what happened?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Hua seemed to remember something terrible, his face turned pale, he hesitated for a while, and then tremblingly said: "That, that's because I met a monster!"

"monster?"

"Yes, it's a huge head burning with flames!" Li Hua swallowed, his expression frightened, "When the monster saw me, it yelled to eat me, and then rushed towards me. Scared the hell out of me!"

"Then how did you escape?"

"At that time, I was in the underground parking lot, and there was a fire hydrant next to it. I had an idea, and sprayed the monster with the dry powder fire extinguisher inside, then escaped from the parking lot when it was unaware, and ran a long way to hide in this park. Here, I'll meet you next."

Li Hua still had a lingering fear on his face.

Lin Ze's heart skipped a beat. After searching for so long, he finally found something.

Judging from Li Hua's words, most of the monsters he encountered were the real culprits that caused the phenomenon of devouring in the middle of the night. They ate up ordinary people who hadn't disappeared after twelve o'clock and were still able to move freely. , Ordinary people who are eaten are equivalent to disappearing from this world without knowing it.

Now, Lin Ze finally knew the true face of the late-night devouring phenomenon, but new doubts arose, where did those monsters come from?Why did Chihuo City turn into what it is now after twelve o'clock?

"If you want to find the answers to these questions, you must first find the monster Li Hua mentioned."

Lin Ze soon became concerned, and just as he raised his head to speak, his expression changed suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head to look not far to the right.

At the same time, a shrill voice that was neither male nor female suddenly sounded.

"Quack, look what I found, two humans with high soul strength!"

Accompanied by the sound, in the small forest not far away, a few trees on the edge collapsed, and the branches and leaves burst into flames.

The fire instantly tore through the darkness, reflecting a figure rushing out of the woods.

It was a huge head with a diameter of more than two meters, and the whole body was burning with flames.

The head seemed to be a baby's head magnified countless times, the skin was pale white, smooth and hairless, the eye sockets were dark and deep, there were no eyeballs, and the grinning mouth was covered with sharp, cone-like dense sawtooths.

As soon as the flame head appeared, the dark eye sockets stared straight at Lin Ze and the two, as if looking at them, and the corner of his mouth finally opened a ferocious arc.

"If you eat it with the head attached, it must be delicious!"
