The Twin Messengers are not only targeting Jiang Nuo, but also everyone who doesn't belong to this village.
Jiang Nuo glanced back at the few temporary team members, exchanged a look with Si Yan, and the two of them looked at Zhang Quan at the same time.
Zhang Quan: "..."
Even though I'm not human, there's no need to treat me like this.
Despite his complaints, Zhang Quan had no reason to disagree with what his master wanted to do.
He nodded, indicating that he could.
The three of them made their decision in just a few seconds. Jiang Nuo, just like before, confirmed again through the Twin Messengers, "As long as they're my friends, that's fine, right?"
His handsome face was full of cleverness and cunning, practically screaming "I'm up to no good!"
Having learned their lesson, the Twin Messengers instinctively sensed something was amiss. They pointed at Si Yan and the other four, emphasizing in unison, "The selection must be from among these people."
They were afraid that Jiang Nuo had found some loophole again.
Insidious and cunning humans!
[Hahaha, is the messenger afraid of God Nuo No? Does he have some other plan?]
Jiang Nuo would never disappoint a ghost who easily believed him.
Isn't this another way of spoiling fans?
Hehehe.
The little girl covered her mouth and bent over laughing gleefully, "Serves you right, serves you right!"
Si Yan grabbed her braid without hesitation and cut it off with a snap. "Disobedient brats need to be punished."
The little girl's eyes widened.
The little girl couldn't believe it.
She touched her bare, prickly braid, her face flushed with anger, "You actually ruined my..."
Feimina cast a spell, her smile pure and lovely, " God, it must have been so hard for you. This hairstyle is uglier than the apple pie the old lady next door made, but... it's definitely quite creative."
The little girl, who was forcibly silenced, was so angry that she jumped up and down in frustration.
The Twin Messengers and all the villagers stared intently at Jiang Nuo, but to their surprise, he cooperated obediently this time, taking the empty wine jug and walking to Zhang Quan's side.
"I've decided on you."
Tuoba Hong was surprised and tried to persuade him, but was frightened back by Si Yan's gaze.
"Brother, you..." Tuoba Hong looked at Zhang Quan with sympathy.
Zhang Quan didn't even blink. He picked up a dagger, cut his wrist, and bled. His expression was so calm that it was as if he wasn't the one whose wrist was being cut.
"Wow, that's some serious willpower." Tuoba Hong said to Zhou Ling, "I think we should invite him to join the association."
Zhou Ling: "Trying to steal someone from Jiang Nuo? If you're tired of living, you can just kill yourself right now."
Tuoba Hong: "..."
That makes sense; this guy is absolutely devoted to God Nuo.
"Damn, this is real bloodletting! Jiang Nuo, can't you think of any other way?"
"No, why should we actually listen? He's so confident, it makes me think he has a way to protect the team members..."
Come on, God Nuo must have his reasons for doing this; even Zhang Quan hasn't said anything.
[ Zhang Quan doesn't seem to be in any pain at all. Is this the power of being an idol?]
It's not the idol's influence that's the problem; Zhang Quan would only start to worry if the Half-Corpse Soul suddenly became afraid of pain.
He used the act of being bled to quietly ask Si Yan and Jiang Nuo.
"Could you give me something nourishing? I'm so tired of human food."
Although he was transformed from a human into Half-Corpse Soul, he was no longer in a human body, so food could only satisfy his cravings and provided almost no nutrition.
God knows how empty he felt after he finished eating.
Jiang Nuo took a few sticks of incense and stuffed them into Zhang Quan's clothes, saying, "Don't be shy."
Zhang Quan was instantly satisfied, and those who were watching him closely could see that the more blood he bled, the more relaxed his expression became.
Even though the wine jug, the size of a head, was almost full of blood, Zhang Quan still showed no problems, and even looked rosy and enjoyed himself.
Twin Messengers: "..."
They saw Zhang Quan's expression of enjoyment and even confirmed that the wine jug contained bright red blood.
I don't quite understand how this human can be even more monstrous than a monster.
In low-level game arenas, mini-bosses are completely unable to distinguish between high-level Half-Corpse Soul and humans.
Despite the surprise and frustration, neither of the two processes resulted in the death of a single person inside.
All procedures have been completed, the gods are beginning to descend, and the Twin Messengers cannot afford to waste any time.
The Twin Messengers flew to the giant tree, looking down at all those around them, and said in unison, "People who suffer year after year, please sleep peacefully under the comfort of the Nine-Headed Mountain God!"
The villagers knelt in unison, their foreheads pressed to the ground, chanting, "The dying flames cannot extinguish the believer's will; He is about to be reborn!!"
Jiang Nuo and the others felt out of place, so they simply sat down as well, determined not to kneel.
After the unanimous call, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the Immortal Lake, the water rippling and surging, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
All the fluttering butterflies crashed into the lake, their water-soaked wings becoming incredibly heavy, and the lake was quickly covered with a thick layer of dead butterflies.
The sunlight disappeared, and dark clouds gathered.
The Nine-Headed Mountain God appeared before the world amidst a deafening roar of thunder.
It had a human head and a snake's tail, a pair of enlarged butterfly wings behind it, and eight other heads growing from its neck, making it extremely bizarre.
Jiang Nuo: "Hmm... no wonder the monsters here have such strange intentions, turns out this guy himself is an ugly monster."
His voice is really loud.
At least the kneeling villagers could hear it, and they looked at the offending villagers with fear and trepidation, but dared not insult them on the spot for fear of angering the gods.
Why don't you kneel?
The deity opened his eyes, which were filled with an intense, eerie light. His handsome features were like those of a god, and he appeared dignified and imposing without being angry.
Si Yan sensed a very strange divinity, just like the clothes of the Twin Messengers and the temple outside.
The reason it is so strange is that its divinity is not pure; it even contains Dark Power. The two opposing forces are perfectly integrated in this "god".
Everyone stared at them, their eyes filled with oppressive intent, as if they were looking at some sinners of the ages.
Jiang Nuo, with her rebellious nature, not only refused to kneel but stood up directly, making her appear even more abrupt.
"What kind of deity are you? I've never seen you before, why are you kneeling?"
The deity's imposing aura and deep voice exuded immense power. Completely unperturbed, He calmly surveyed Jiang Nuo with a serene gaze, even stating, "Those who kneel may make any wish."
"Gods can grant any wish of believers."
It is so tempting. In this world, what is easiest to satisfy is one's desires, but it is also the hardest to satisfy.
Everyone has desires, and with desires come endless wishes.
They yearn to fulfill all their desires, and even more so, they yearn to fill the chasm of their inner desires.
Jiang Nuo replied, "I don't like making wishes."
He curled his lips into a smile, almost sarcastic, his left eye, glowing with a deep red light, icy cold.
"What I want, I can strive for myself, not rely on you... a monster with only the shell of a god."
