On the surface of the world, the earth remains unchanged for thousands of years as usual, but on this land, every living thing must rely on the earth to survive.

Zuo Yingyue walked on the ground, surrounded by big cities with surging traffic. She would stop to check the ground every distance she walked. Her actions seemed inexplicable to outsiders, but only she knew that she was checking the condition of the ground.

There is nothing wrong with the earth on the surface, but in fact everyone on the ground is connected to the earth.

She had read in an ancient document that the ground was not really the ground, but a huge monster called a lichen.

Lichens are so huge that they cover the entire planet. All life on the ground survives on lichens.

Zuo Yingyue stood up and looked at the pedestrians passing by, immediately confirming her thoughts.

She had been investigating Si Chen before, but could not find the direction. Only after meeting Su Lun did she find traces of Huan Shan from Su Lun.

While she was thinking, she suddenly felt the power of the inner world moving quickly not far away. When she looked over there, she realized that Su Lun was chasing something.

Su Lun also discovered Zuo Yingyue. His speed was almost the same as Zhou Qing. If he directly pursued Zhou Qing, he would keep running away. He would never be able to catch up and would have to wait for the next opportunity.

Anyway, there were vines following Zhou Qing, so he turned around and walked towards Zuo Yingyue.

Zuo Yingyue also walked towards Su Lun. She still had some questions in her mind that needed Su Lun to answer.

They met on the roof of a building. Zuo Yingyue asked Su Lun, "What did you find?"

Su Lun waved his hand and said: "The person I suspected before started to become a little crazy. I suspect that he is changing towards a believer, but I don't know who Si Chen he believes in."

He was also a little uncomfortable because the other party ran too fast, so he didn't find any useful information at all.

Zuo Yingyue also sighed. She thought Su Lun had discovered something.

She said: "I have discovered something here."

"Your ability should come from a Sichen named Huan Shan! I found information about Huan Shan."

After Zuo Yingyue finished speaking, she looked at Su Lun, and she quickly received a positive answer.

She continued: "Huan Shan is one of the twenty-three Si Chens, responsible for controlling the birth and death of life. Legend has it that she is a queen who once had abnormal ideas because of her love for beautiful clothes. After becoming Si Chen, she controls all things. Life and death, collecting the most beautiful skins to use as clothing, the entire land here is made of Huanshan."

"The earth is a monster."

Zuo Yingyue stood by the building and looked down and said. After careful investigation, she was able to confirm that the entire surface was a living monster.

She continued: "I call this monster a lichen. On the surface, all creatures on the earth's surface live on the earth, but in fact, lichens affect life on the earth's surface all the time."

"Some people lichen will kill the target they want to kill, and then take away the beautiful skin. Some people discovered the monster lichen, and these people found a way to replace the skin."

Su Lun nodded secretly when he heard this. If it is true as Zuo Yingyue said, then as long as he knows how to get the skin from Lichen, he can change his appearance at will, not only becoming another person, but also becoming another person. Become a beast and a monster.

Su Lun suddenly remembered something. The ogre from before might be related to the lichen and the skin that the lichen swallowed.

One of the explanations for the ogre's sudden disappearance was that he had changed his form. If the ogre had changed into a human form at that time, he would not have been able to tell it at all, so he did not wait until the ogre showed up. The ogre might have already appeared at that time. Transformed into other creatures and left.

Su Lun suddenly thought of Zhou Qing. There was a lot about Zhou Qing. In addition, Zhou Qing suddenly committed murder this time. Zhou Qing might be an ogre, but he had a human skin on his body.

He had never thought that the ogre was still related to Huan Shan, but now he was happy and someone was hiding in the dark to do things.

Su Lun thought to himself. He took out the triangular coat of arms he had discovered before from his pocket. At that time, he found that this thing was a bit strange, but he didn't know what the problem was. Maybe Zuo Yingyue knew something useful.

He said: "This is probably what the ogre left behind. Have you seen the lines recorded on it?"

He guessed that the patterns on it were some kind of ritual, but he knew too little about rituals to know what the rituals on it meant.

Zuo Yingyue took the coat of arms and looked at it. She frowned. She had seen this pattern somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

But one thing she was sure of was that it was indeed a ritual.

She looked at the coat of arms for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.

She said: "This is a puppet spell, a ritual that turns people into puppets."

Zuo Yingyue was a little surprised, because the puppet curse also came from Huan Shan. Huan Shan can control life and death, and can also control living creatures. One of his abilities is puppet.

She continued: "The Puppet Curse is also a ritual of ringing the fir. This ritual is very difficult and requires healthy people. Then a dead skin is prepared. After the ritual begins, the living person's thoughts will gradually become extreme, and finally they will be completely controlled by emotions. , whenever a part of human reason disappears, the dead skin will replace the living person.”

"It's equivalent to making the soul of a living person into a puppet that can only obey orders, and the skin can choose freely. It can choose humans, monsters or other things. As far as I know, most people use powerful The monster’s skin performs the ritual.”

Su Lun also felt something was wrong when he heard this, because judging from the problems he discovered, Zhou Qing was the living person Zuo Yingyue mentioned, and the ogre was the skin. Someone was secretly refining the puppet, and Zhou Qing was just a person who was kept in the dark. the victims.

Su Lun looked around and murmured: "It seems we have been exposed."

After he knew that Zhou Qing was just a puppet, he immediately guessed that he had been exposed to others.

Although he was very careful when investigating, he never concealed his traces. As long as someone observes Zhou Qing at all times, he will definitely find him as the person who is following Zhou Qing.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in the distance was approaching.

Su Lun and Zuo Yingyue both looked at the figure. It didn't take long for the figure to appear. It was a woman about the same age as them.

The woman was naturally Lu Ying. She had discovered Su Lun and the two of them very early, but she had not traveled out and had been observing everything secretly. If it was not for her purpose, she would not have shown up.

She said to Su Lun and the other two: "You two have been strutting around for so long before you realize that you have been exposed. I really don't know how you climbed up from the lower world."

With a sneer on her face, she waved her hand, and the triangular crest immediately flew up and landed on her hand.

Zuo Yingyue already thought that she didn't hold the triangular emblem just now, and the other party's ability might have completely surpassed hers.

Su Lun and Zuo Yingyue both understood after hearing this that the other party was just like them, from the lower world.

He said: "Since we all come from the lower world, why don't we cooperate? There are so many weird places in this world, and it is difficult for only one person to learn useful information."

He doesn't know who the other party is, but he wants to win over anyone he can.

Lu Ying laughed when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "You are too naive. I have to say that you know too little about this world. If you know a little more, you won't say such things."

She continued: "There are twenty-four hours in this world, and there should be a corresponding Si Chen for each hour. However, there are only twenty-three existing Si Chens. I don't need to tell you about the last hour. You should all know it. Then in the end One hour is Si Chen's position, whoever can become the next Si Chen can control the world."

Su Lun understood what the other party meant. Twenty-four hours are twenty-four god positions, and now there is only the last one left. As a visitor from the lower world, as long as he knows this, he should strive to become the last Si Chen. In order to achieve the goal, all visitors from the lower world should be hostile, so there is naturally no possibility of cooperation.

Lu Ying continued: "It's too late for you to realize this now. For the sake of Si Chen's position, I have to ask you to die obediently."

As soon as she finished speaking, a monster ran over from a distance.

Su Lun took a closer look and found that the monster running over was Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's whole body has changed a lot. His whole body looks like a standing beast, only his head is still like a human being.

However, as time goes by, Zhou Qing's last traces of humanity are disappearing, and he slowly turns into a complete monster.

Zhou Qing turned into an ogre, an ogre with black hair all over his body and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Lu Ying said: "He is an ogre puppet that I trained with great difficulty. It's really good for you to try your hand at it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the ogre rushed towards Su Lun and the two of them, without any intention of testing them.

Su Lun and Zuo Yingyue both knew that a battle was inevitable, and they immediately began to fight back.

Su Lun took out a large number of sleeping talismans, while Zuo Yingyue took out a long sword.

Soon the two of them were entangled together. The vines transformed by Su Lun were torn apart by the ogre as easily as slime. Zuo Yingyue's long sword could not harm the ogre at all. The ogre's skin was far thicker than the ogre's. Steel is hard.

Seeing this, Lu Ying laughed and said: "It's useless. This ogre was carefully selected by me from the summoned creatures. It is definitely not a creature that you people who have not even come into contact with Si Chen can deal with."

Although she was laughing, she did not take it lightly at all. She observed the battle at the same time and was ready to help the ogre at any time.

She is also someone who has slowly climbed up from the lower world step by step, and will never commit the taboo of looking down on her enemies.

It didn't take long for Su Lun and Zuo Yingyue to retreat steadily. They had been defending and had no chance to attack. This ogre was completely suppressing them.

As Su Lun retreated, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. With their current means and strength, they simply couldn't fight Lu Ying. Even if they wanted to escape now, they might not be able to escape.

He suddenly smiled and said a way, as long as a powerful force was added among them to disrupt the battle, both he and Zuo Yingyue would have a chance to leave.

Su Lun glanced at Zuo Yingyue. As long as the time was right, they would escape immediately.

Although he didn't speak, Su Lun's words could be understood quickly through body language.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the vibrations felt on the building were even stronger.

Lu Ying frowned slightly when she saw this. She knew that Su Lun and the others must have done something, otherwise the earth would not suddenly be shaken.

Just when she was suspicious, a tree with no leaves but a large number of fruits stood out from the earth. The fruits on the tree were the corpses of monsters one after another.

During the battle, Su Lun recognized a cedar ring ritual that had already been drawn, and the ritual took effect instantly.

When he captured Zhou Qing before, he grabbed all the monsters Zhou Qing created and dragged them into the mud. He originally wanted to use the corpses of these monsters to create some powerful creatures that obey orders, but he didn't expect to use them now. .

There were at least dozens or hundreds of monster corpses on the tree. After the fir ringing ceremony took effect, all the corpses on the tree turned into blood and flowed into the fir ringing ceremony.

At the same time, the big tree was also growing rapidly. With the power of the fir ring ceremony, the dry tree came to life directly.

The old tree grew eyes and a mouth. When it saw Lu Ying, it immediately stretched out a large number of vines towards Lu Ying.

Lu Ying was shocked. She didn't expect Su Lun to have such a ritual in his hands. She had never known about it before.

At this time, the ogre immediately retreated to protect Lu Ying. Lu Ying could only rely on the ogre to avoid it. Su Lun had already seen this.

However, neither Su Lun nor Zuo Yingyue planned to continue the head-on conflict with Lu Ying. If the battle lasted for a long time, Lu Ying would definitely have the advantage.

After Su Lun and the two were not attacked by the ogres, they immediately evacuated the surroundings. They could not waste time here.

Lu Ying didn't have time to deal with the two people who escaped. She thought she could easily take down Su Lun and the two, but she didn't expect Su Lun to still hide Si Chen's ritual.

She focused all her attention on the dead tree in front of her. She had the ability to deal with this dead tree, but it would take some time.

I saw the ogre cutting off the branches of the dead tree with a swipe of his claws, and it didn't take long to clean up the dead tree, which was not very threatening to her.

The remaining tree roots drill back into the ground. As long as the roots continue, these trees will not die.

Lu Ying found out that they had not been completely eradicated, and was very angry. When she came to her senses and dealt with Su Lun and the other two, Su Lun and Zuo Yingyue had already disappeared without a trace.

She looked around, and finally had no choice but to give up. Although she did not get rid of Su Lun and the others, he completed the initial task.

She made Zhou Qing into an ogre, a mindless body that only obeyed orders.

With this body, she can do many things, and she will be fine as long as this puppet is still around.

Lu Ying took the ogre and left quickly, and the area was quickly taken over by the police.

The police had no idea what was going on here, and they only saw signs of a lot of damage around them.
