Chapter 211: Letter From the Priest

In front of the black forest, Xue Na was on guard, while Chen Ping, Su Xixi and others sat limply on the ground.

"What happened just now?"

Su Xixi looked at the dismembered Experimental Subject No. 1, still a little unbelievable.

It seemed that the power of the stars had made Su Xixi's strength soar in a short period of time.

However, this powerful feeling did not last too long, and the severe pain in the body made Su Xixi sweat profusely.

Xiaobai hurried forward to check: "You can't control that kind of power yet, and now you are being backfired!"

"Is there any way?" Chen Ping also walked over.

"It will take some time!" Xiaobai nodded.

At the same time, the body of Experimental Subject No. 1 emitted a faint red light, and Chen Ping went to observe.

He found that there was a pool of purple liquid on the ground, and it was moving slowly.

"You protect Xixi and Xiaobai, I will go over and see, I will leave a mark on the road!"

As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, the pool of purple liquid suddenly accelerated.

The mechanical wings behind him unfolded, and with the help of the wind wings, Chen Ping could barely keep up with the pool of purple liquid.

About ten minutes later, the ruins of an ancient temple gradually came into view.

The outer wall of the temple, although eroded by time, still has its majestic outline. The huge stone pillars are like a forest, each of which requires several people to hug, and the surface is carved with complex totems.

The broken dome casts mottled light and shadow, and the interior space is extremely vast. On the towering ceiling, the remains of exquisite murals can be vaguely seen.

On the central altar, a statue of an ancient god stands tall. Although it has been weathered, its majestic momentum is still awe-inspiring.

Chen Ping's mind moved, and a magical flame attached to the surface of the pool of purple liquid, quickly burning it out.

Originally, he wanted to use the star fire in the Star Cauldron, but since the Star Cauldron absorbed the star power in the star fragments, it could not be contacted or used.

The reason why he took action to deal with the purple liquid was because in the distance, a group of "people" wearing dark robes, with hoods covering most of their faces and only a pair of fanatical and determined eyes, were approaching Chen Ping.

[Scarlet Truth Church Believers] (Platinum Five Stars): Affected by the spirit of the Apostle Stalker, most of them can no longer recover to normal, but they still have the most firm faith, but they have changed from pursuing the Scarlet Truth to obeying the Stalker's orders. (Ability Assessment: 1321)

The strength of these believers is slightly higher than that of the No. 5 experimental subject, lower than that of the No. 1 experimental subject, and is basically the same as the ability of the tree spirit or tree demon.

Chen Ping's wound had already scabbed, and the armor penetrated by the No. 1 experimental subject could no longer be restored, and the properties of the black plague suit were also destroyed.

So, he simply changed into four pieces of purple equipment, the overall properties were reduced a little, but it was much stronger than not wearing armor.

In the distance, the shadowy believers were chanting something in their mouths, as if praying to a mysterious power.

Suddenly, a believer rushed towards Chen Ping, brandishing a dagger, bringing up a gust of wind.

Chen Ping evaded the attack swiftly, and drew out his weapon to fight back.

Another believer waved his staff in the distance, and a strange light shot towards Chen Ping, who rolled over in a hurry to avoid it.

The strength of these believers was not high, but there were many of them, and they cooperated very well. Every time Chen Ping wanted to fight back, other believers would attack and interrupt Chen Ping's actions.

Chen Ping's basic attributes were not much different from theirs, and with the bonus of his equipment, he could normally crush the believers. However, the opponent's cooperation made him feel powerless.

Pulling back, Chen Ping wanted to use magic attacks, but every time he wanted to gather elemental power, the statues in the temple would emit a faint red light, and the elemental power in Chen Ping's body would instantly dissipate.

Unable to cause large-scale damage, Chen Ping fought and retreated, and when he reached the periphery of the temple and had enough space to move, he called out Xiao Hei.

At this time, Xiao Hei was completely sober. With the tacit cooperation of the two, they slowly cleaned up these believers.

"Master, this wine is really good! Next time you go, ask the boss lady to make a few more cups!"

Xiao Hei had a face full of aftertaste.

"You want to drink more? How many days have you been drunk?"

"Master, you don't understand. When you look at the world with drunken eyes, everything is gentle. One sip makes you drunk, two sips make you drunk, and three sips directly say good morning. You sleep really well!"

"Then I'll make a wine gourd and put you in it in the future!"

"It's a deal, but there must be wine in the gourd!" Xiao Hei replied seriously.

After a long time, the number of believers became fewer and fewer. There was no distinction between day and night here, and time basically depended on the scarlet bracelet.

"Brother Chen, Xixi has recovered, but there are many tree spirits here, and we may not be able to meet you for the time being!"

Chen Ping just raised his hand to check the time and received Xue Na's message.

"Be careful. If I solve this problem, I will come over to help you!"

As the number of believers decreased, the pressure on Chen Ping and Xiao Hei also dropped sharply.

After cleaning up the believers for most of the day, Chen Ping and Xiao Hei returned to the temple again.

Along the corridor full of damage and potholes, they walked into the building behind the temple.

There were rooms here, but they were too old and covered with a thick layer of dust.

Chen Ping searched carefully and saw some books about the Scarlet Truth Church. In one book, there were also a few pages of letters.

"Most of the believers of the Glorious Church have never heard of the Bloody Truth Organization. Today I was appointed as one of the leaders of this secret organization, otherwise I would not have known of its existence!"

"The Bloody Truth is an extremely terrifying organization that will completely destroy our Glorious Church!"

"From today on, I will hide in the darkness alone, find all the people of the Scarlet Truth, eliminate them all, and punish those who betrayed the Glorious Church and violated the doctrine!"

The letter was signed by a man named Lauren, and the time was 987 in the first calendar.

"Five years ago?" Chen Ping frowned slightly, but he didn't know whether the time here was consistent with the time on the mainland.

Then, Chen Ping checked the content of the next page:

"It turns out that behind the Scarlet Truth is the Apostle Stalker! It is the legendary Apostle! It actually appeared here!"

"The believers of the Radiant Church are being attacked by the Stalker's spirit, but we can't resist. Can we only surrender?"

"No! I can't watch our Radiant Church, a sacred heritage founded by the great goddess Leslie and passed down for thousands of years, perish in silence!"

"With my strength, I am no match for the Apostle. It is meaningless to go after it now!"

"Maybe the legendary forbidden spell... must work. This is my last hope!"

"Maybe I won't be able to write a diary anymore, but my undying resentment will remain forever!"

"If one day, someone comes to explore the glory of the Radiant Church out of curiosity, he will find this remaining belief in the collapsed temple!"

The time of this letter is 988 years of the first calendar.

The last two letters did not record the time:

"The forbidden spell is really effective! It's just that I have practiced it for too short a time and cannot cause harm to the stalker, and I have paid the price of my body for this recklessness. Fortunately, because of the forbidden spell, my soul is still there. For now, I can only live in the believers controlled by the stalker. I am more confident now, because now I can get rid of the physiological functions of birth, aging, illness and death!"

"The believers have died strangely one after another. This must be related to the stalker. This is good news for me. The believers can get rid of the stalker's mental control after death, and I can also use forbidden techniques to resurrect them all. As long as enough believers die, I can rebuild the Glorious Church and make the church great again!"

Chen Ping put down the letter and began to look through the book. The book recorded a powerful forbidden spell, but it was very costly to use, and a large number of lives had to be sacrificed, including the life of the user.

For such a forbidden spell, Chen Ping would not practice it, but he still put it away.

In addition, there are some yellowed papers with some materials recorded on them. Collecting these items can resist the mental interference of the stalkers.

The scarlet bracelet only prompts the core of the elves, which is not as detailed as the believer's. Because the believers are immune to mental control after they have no body, they don't collect these items.

"Others? How did you get here!"

Chen Ping, who was checking the items to be collected, was interrupted by a voice.

Turning his head, he saw the believers in blue robes standing at the door.

Although his attention was on these letters, Chen Ping did not relax his vigilance at all, including Xiao Hei, who was also on guard.

Even so, they did not find anything unusual until the believer made a sound.

Chen Ping immediately took out the fire knife, and the scarlet bracelet also scanned it. It showed that the priest of the Scarlet Truth Church was much stronger than ordinary believers, and should be considered an elite monster.

"Are you... Lauren?" Chen Ping kept a distance from the priest, and Xiao Hei flashed and stood beside Chen Ping, ready to attack at any time.

"Have you read my letter?"

The instructor narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a fierce killing intent.

"I came here to kill the stalker!"

Chen Ping immediately stated his purpose.

The data on the scarlet bracelet showed that the opponent's ability was not strong.

But Chen Ping knew that most of the time, these data did not represent the real strength.

If the content of the letter was true, it meant that the believer in front of him was a guy who had the ability to cast forbidden spells.

Chen Ping did not have the confidence to really defeat the opponent. At this time, he should try to avoid war.

"Kill the stalker? Just you?"

The instructor chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.

"The Tenth Apostle, the Abyss of Sin, was purified by me!" Chen Ping said righteously.

"The source of sin?" The divine instructor was slightly stunned.

"Yes, and the 72nd demon Andumari was also killed by me!" Chen Ping nodded.
