198: If you want me to do something, the price is different!

Song Zhong placed his hand on the queen ant's head, and dark red patterns, like centipedes, crawled all over the queen ant's body.

Dark red mist enveloped Song Zhong and the queen ant's corpse.

From within the swirling red mist, faint singing seemed to drift out.

But upon closer listen, the singing was like a mournful wail, then in an instant, like playful laughter and scolding.

Occasionally, one or two passing paper figures accidentally touched the red mist, and their originally pale paper turned blood red…

Within the red mist, the queen ant's body disappeared inch by inch into thin air, like a random scribble being erased by an eraser.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the Ant Nest Sacrifice!"

Song Zhong was stunned, looking at the prompt on the System panel, feeling a bit strange.

Didn't he only sacrifice one queen ant?

But soon, he understood what the System meant.

He did indeed only sacrifice one queen ant, but this queen ant had just sacrificed its entire tribe not long ago.

By condensing the Bloodline Power into itself, it naturally bore the Karma of the entire tribe.

Thinking of this, Song Zhong couldn't help but feel excited.

"If that's the case, this sacrifice value probably won't stop at 1000 points."

Based on the Kraken's main brain last time, Song Zhong had originally estimated that after sacrificing the queen ant, the sacrifice value he would gain would be between 1000 and 1500.

But now, the situation was different.

Sure enough, the System immediately provided the settlement information for this time.

"Congratulations to the Host for completing the Ant Nest Sacrifice, gaining 2563 sacrifice points. The Host's current sacrifice points are 4639."

"It seems there's an unexpected surprise! Unfortunately, the current sacrifice value is still a little bit short, and I don't know if there are other Mysterious things in this Fengdu Ghost City."

Song Zhong examined the faith tombstone in his System space. After this period of refinement, the light of faith within that tombstone grew more and more.

The overall shape of the tombstone also became more ancient. Previously, the light emitted by the tombstone was golden yellow, which was quite dazzling.

Now the color had become heavier, and the broken Godhead lay quietly in the light of faith, without any movement.

Two of the ten bronze coffins beneath the tombstone showed abnormalities.

Those two were precisely the coffins of Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

The two bronze coffins emitted a faint green light. Song Zhong slowly walked forward and placed his palm on them.

Buzz!

Thump!

Muffled thuds suddenly came from within the two bronze coffins. The sound was indescribably strange; although it came from inside the bronze coffins,

the sound was very penetrating, like a bronze bell in an ancient temple deep in the mountains.

An invisible fluctuation spread out, and in the depths of Fengdu Ghost City, an ancient-looking bronze mirror slowly vibrated…

Song Zhong looked thoughtful. He chuckled, "So, you want this. Now, we can talk about the price…"

The red mist dissipated, and Song Zhong planned to leave here, walking towards the depths of Fengdu Ghost City.

He didn't expect to look up and see a circle of red paper figures surrounding him.

"This is…"

Song Zhong hesitated for a moment, then felt a different Power Of Faith rapidly merging into the faith tombstone in his System space.

"Is this the down payment? It looks pretty good."

A smile appeared on Song Zhong's lips, and surrounded by this group of strange red paper figures, he headed deeper.

…

In the primeval forest, Lin Qi Ye and the others looked towards the black smoke deep in the forest.

Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they all knew that the meteorite that fell from the sky was definitely related to Song Zhong.

Lin Qi Ye gave Shen Qingzhu a look, and Shen Qingzhu immediately went forward to talk to the believers.

"Da Bin Ge, it seems something unexpected happened ahead. Should we go up and take a look?"

The believer stopped, looked at the distant smoke for a while, and then slowly said,

"This is a miracle. We should leave!"

Shen Qingzhu was completely baffled now. What was going on? What miracle?

Didn't you go to great lengths to come north to find ruins?

Now you see black smoke and you're not looking anymore?

Isn't that too childish?

Lin Qi Ye and the others behind him also had a bunch of question marks in their minds.

Leave?

Where are you going?

Shen Qingzhu's face showed a puzzled expression, and he continued to ask, "Da Bin Ge, what do you mean by leaving?"

The believers did not directly answer Shen Qingzhu's question, but instead said mysteriously,

"Shen Qingzhu, I know you have other purposes for coming here. You are not us."

As soon as Da Bin Ge finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately dropped to freezing point.

Shen Qingzhu quietly took a step back and gently touched the ring on his hand.

Lin Qi Ye and the others were also on edge. It seemed the other party had seen through them long ago, but why did they wait until now to say it?

"Hehe, everyone, don't get agitated. The New Ancient God Church's aim is to create a new world, so we are not enemies."

Shen Qingzhu looked at the believers opposite him suspiciously, "Then you…"

Before he could finish his question, he saw the believers opposite him just smile faintly at them, and then the space behind them suddenly twisted.

At the same time, almost simultaneously, all the believers in the entire primeval forest disappeared.

Lin Qi Ye and the others stood still, at a loss.

"Sigh, it seems I don't have the talent for being an undercover agent!" Bai Li Pang Pang felt a little down.

Cao Yuan patted his shoulder, "It's okay, you've done very well."

"Perhaps we were full of holes from the beginning," An Qingyu said. "Regarding the New Ancient God Church, we know almost nothing about them, so in their eyes, everything about us is out of place."

"But why didn't they expose us on the spot? The first time we encountered them, they could have easily attacked us," Lin Qi Ye said.

This was also a common doubt in everyone's hearts.

If a direct conflict occurred, the Reserve Squad's combat strength was too weak.

Shen Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "Perhaps, as they said, we are not true enemies."

"Ah?" Bai Li Pang Pang looked troubled. "They let us off the hook now, so are we now involved with a terrorist organization? Is this really okay?"

Lin Qi Ye shook his head, "Forget it. The most important thing right now is to quickly go and see what happened ahead."

Several people nodded one after another. Everything was to prioritize the mission.

Lin Qi Ye and the others no longer paid attention to what happened before and arrived at the side of the cliff at the fastest speed.

Just as they reached their destination, they suddenly found seven figures standing by the cliff.

They were wearing gray Night Watcher cloaks.

Lin Qi Ye's heart filled with joy when he saw them.

"Mask Squad? I didn't expect you to actually come!"
