The circular square located in the center of the city stretches out dozens of passages leading to every corner of the city.
These passages are wider than here, with sculptures and buildings on both sides of the road. Whenever a certain time comes, crowds of people will gather on both sides of the road.
At the end of these roads, there will be a prison, shaped like a ferocious beast.
Dozens of giant beast statues surround the surroundings, forming a majestic and strange lineup, guarding the giant tower in the central square.
In these gloomy prisons, prisoners were held for sacrifice.
The residents in the city will actively capture the sacrifices and then imprison them in cages.
On a fixed date, the prisoners will be killed and sacrificed, and their blood will be absorbed by the vortex on the tower.
It is said that such sacrifices can please the great gods and bring blessings to the residents of the city.
This is indeed the case. As the number of sacrifices continues to increase, there are more and more monks in the city.
The residents who received the benefits were more enthusiastic about offering sacrifices and often attacked other tribes to capture sacrifices.
Or if you spend money to buy it, you can get a large number of slaves, and there may even be someone who provides services for the purpose of making money.
For the residents of the city, worshiping the gods is a top priority and must not be affected in any way.
After each sacrifice, the cell becomes empty, but is quickly refilled.
This goes on and on for a long time...
The above content all comes from the account of a resident.
At this moment, he was clutching his neck, with a desperate expression on his face, and collapsed to the ground like mud.
In a remote corner, no one saw what he was going through, let alone provided help.
Until the last moment before death, the residents suddenly realized that there was something wrong with torturing and killing their own residents.
It seems that the skin and flesh are too loose and will fall off at any time.
After dragging the body to a corner and making sure that no one would find it soon, Tang Zhen left leisurely.
While walking, Tang Zhen reached out to hold his shoulders, first pushing the slipped flesh back to its original position, and then fixing it in the dark.
This body does not belong to you, and will always slide and move involuntarily during strenuous exercise.
Because the conditions are limited, we can only try our best to overcome them.
If you take off the mask and costume, you will find that the covered parts of the strong man's body are actually tightly strangled by muscles.
His hands and feet were like long boots and gloves, and they were also worn on Tang Zhen's body, making it difficult to find any abnormalities.
Such scalpel skills are simply miraculous and impossible for ordinary people to do.
Demons and ghosts in certain worlds are very good at this, and can use corpses to create perfect flesh and blood shells.
It can connect to its own blood vessels and organs to maintain the vitality of the body without any problems even for decades.
If you don't want it, you can cut off the meridians to break open the body and find a new body.
The strong man guarding the cage had died countless times, but his body was used to the extreme by Tang Zhen.
Low-level monsters and ghosts do not have such means and must change their bodies every once in a while.
Sometimes, in order to deodorize and maintain skin color, I have to cover my face with various spices and paint my face with pen and ink.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was imitating the low-level Painted Skin Ghost, and the effect was quite good.
Using the body of this strong man, Tang Zhen deceived the guards and witnessed the entire process of the sacrifice.
Looking at the numb monks, their heads were chopped off by the executioner, but they never made any move.
Immediately afterwards, he ambushed a resident in an alley and obtained some information from him.
At this time, Tang Zhen had determined that there were no very powerful monks in this city.
Otherwise, his poor disguise would have been seen through by high-level monks long ago.
The occurrence of such a situation should be related to the era we are in. After all, this was tens of millions of years ago.
In the ancient and ignorant era, the number of monks was quite rare, and most of them only mastered superficial methods.
They are as humble as ants. Facing the terrifying behemoths of chaos, it is already very difficult for them to stay alive.
As time goes by, the monks will become stronger and stronger, and they will gradually prosper thousands of years later.
In this city that existed thousands of years ago, the strength of the monks is not very strong, but it is still not something that the monks can fight against.
Just because the monks acted as prisoners and sacrifices to be killed, their strong cultivation had disappeared without a trace.
Under such circumstances, the monks were unable to fight against those primitive monks who had originally looked down upon them, but were now powerful enough to crush them.
Even if you fight and resist, you will eventually end up being beheaded.
This is just the surface. According to Tang Zhen's experience analysis, things can never be that simple.
For example, Tang Zhen at this moment avoided being beheaded and sacrificed, but this does not mean that he can escape safely.
Although they were freed from the small cage, there was still a larger cage in which the monks were imprisoned.
Although there was no investigation, Tang Zhen was certain that there was no way to escape from this strange city.
It is a real existence, but it is completely isolated from the entire world. Prisoners without any cultivation have no means of escaping.
There is only one way to escape, which is to break the rules of this world and destroy key items so that they can no longer function normally.
If you cannot do this, you will be imprisoned forever.
It's just that the monks can't escape from the fragmented world created by ancient creatures, let alone a group of prisoners who have become ordinary people?
There is another point that is most critical and the main reason that makes the monks numb and desperate.
Any such scene is basically in a cyclic state, and will start running again after a certain period of time.
The prisoners who were killed will reappear in the prison, including Tang Zhen.
Anyone who encounters such a situation will feel crushed and despairing until they completely lose confidence.
Tang Zhen discovered some details, which can also be called loopholes, proving that the existence of this world is not rigorous.
These loopholes, large and small, may be exploited to reverse an unfavorable situation.
The problems that Tang Zhen discovered should also be discovered by other Loucheng monks.
Ancient creatures were born from chaos and were born with a flaw: their thinking was simple and slow.
Even if his strength continues to improve, reaching a level comparable to that of a god king, his improvement in intelligence is still very limited.
In the fragmented world constructed by it, it is not uncommon for some shortcomings and loopholes to appear.
But even so, it's still of little use.
Warriors know the dragon's fatal weakness, and soldiers know the identity and appearance of the enemy chieftain, but that doesn't mean they have the ability to kill him.
A nuclear bomb can destroy a city, but how many people can obtain such a thing, or in other words, manufacture it?
Even if you discover the existence of a vulnerability and try hard to crack it, you may not be able to get out of the predicament.
There must be monks working secretly, but they are in different time periods and are not known to outsiders at all.
During the previous sacrifice process, some prisoners tried to resist, but they were eventually killed by the soldiers.
Obviously, these prisoners still had the idea of resistance in their hearts, but unfortunately they were eventually outnumbered.
The monks were sent to the fragmented world in batches, perhaps with this consideration in mind, in order to prevent the prisoners from uniting as one.
When someone resists passionately, other prisoners look indifferent. How can they succeed?
But we can't blame these prisoners, because when they resisted, they also didn't get the expected response.
A monk's mind is as hard as steel, and he shouldn't be so decadent, nor should he give up so easily.
But if they are quietly influenced by certain forces, the mentality of the monks will indeed change.
After reaching a certain level, you can't help but feel depressed and decadent, and finally show a posture of numbness and resignation.
After making a preliminary judgment, Tang Zhen immediately started taking action, just to verify whether his guess was correct.
