Precisely because they retain this hope, these sect members have not been ruined. Many of them are still holding on to their positions, waiting for the salvation brought by successful research.
Of course, there are also members of the cult who have been ruined.
When Lu Mei discovered that there were too many members in a regional religious sect, she sneaked into the sewers here and found a rotten insect here.
Chongzi collapsed at a corner of the sewer, and the gorgeous religious robes on his body had been taken off and thrown aside.
"I didn't expect that a stranger came here." The insect even spoke without any desire to attack Lu Mei.
Their area was already very famous at this time, and the place where time stood still had received a lot of attention.
Many people wanted to obtain this so-called eternity, and in the early days, many outsiders naturally poured in.
More than one battle broke out between locals and foreigners to compete for land, but in the end most of them turned into living corpses.
A small number of people who had just come in and had not been contaminated by the Worm of Time were lucky enough to escape through the special passage. After spreading the word about the horror of the Eternal Land, another group of people came.
But as most of this group of people stayed in the Eternal Land, gradually no one entered the Eternal Land again.
In the early days, there were also people who wanted to obtain the method to unlock the Eternal Land from the Worm Cult, but they all failed.
At this time, he will either become an experiment of the Insect Cult, or he will turn into a living corpse out of despair.
"I want to unravel this land." Lu Mei directly stated her purpose. The insect now has some shriveled parts on its body. Although it is not a living corpse, it is not healthy. In this case
, directness is actually the best way to communicate.
"Hahaha, you all have the same idea." Chongzi said with a smile, but immediately provided the corresponding information.
"When there was a mutation in the Eternal Land, the leader of the academic sect in the city, Hollander, noticed the problem. He conspired with a group of outsiders to seize the holy relics used by the sect to perform rituals, and then used the holy relics on the edge of the Eternal Land.
It opened a hole."
"Most foreigners escape through this opening, which is now at the small gate of the southern garden."
"In addition to this, there are a total of three holy relics that he took out."
"One of them was transformed into a key by him, but the other two have been lost."
"Because the religious group lost its holy relics, no matter how they researched it, the results obtained were pitifully small."
"Only you can achieve this now."
"Just me?" Lu Mei frowned and asked.
"That's right, in order to ensure that there would be no problems with his opening ceremony, Hollander created the exorcism lamp to target most of the living corpses."
"You should have seen it before."
Lu Mei nodded. The lamp she saw not far from the city gate was the so-called driving away lamp.
The 'old man' living inside is still active, but other living corpses do not dare to approach.
That lamp exudes the will to drive away, and any living corpse that approaches will be driven away.
"The people in the cult suffered heavy casualties in that battle. Even the cult leader, who was most completely transformed into insects, had traces of living corpses on his body."
"The south garden is wrapped in the light of expulsion. No one from the sect can enter. They can only wait for the arrival of outsiders."
"However, after several non-living outsiders were sent out several times in a row, they would simply 'disappear' in the garden. I don't know if there was any danger there, so they were completely killed and suppressed, or if they found the key and chose to leave directly.
"
"In short, the three original holy relics, as well as the worms of time created during the ceremony, as well as some fragments of time produced during the ceremony, are closely related to the entire Eternal Land."
"Only by finding them all can we find a way to reverse the impact of the original ritual and eliminate this eternal place."
"Have all these things been thrown away?" Lu Mei couldn't help but ask.
"Don't underestimate the impact of despair on people." Chongzi said: "With the loss of the holy relics, the research progress of the members of the sect has been delayed."
"More and more members are becoming desperate, and the traces of living corpses on their bodies are also increasing. This is the time to think about themselves."
"The Insect of Time ran away not long after it was born. They couldn't find it, so they naturally took the fragments of Time as their own."
"These fragments allow them to enjoy the glory of time in this eternal place."
"With no hope of unlocking the Land of Eternity, finding a place to live in seclusion and using the fragments of time to live a better life is what they want to do."
"If your real purpose is to leave the Eternal Land, then don't go to such trouble."
"As long as you find the key to Hollander, which is at the small gate of the south garden, and as long as it is not contaminated by the Worm of Time, you can get out of this eternal place."
"Although there may be unknown dangers in that garden, it is better than falling into despair here."
As Chongzi spoke, he turned over and ignored Lu Mei.
It's as if the NPC has explained everything and only waits for the game progress to be completed before communicating again.
Lu Mei digested this information, and most of the information should be true.
With this in mind, Lu Mei continued to sneak into the sect.
I found that most members of the sect seemed very busy, but in fact they were doing nothing at all.
They are using this method to fight against the degradation of their own souls.
Side by side, without key things, they performed the eternal ritual they had developed before.
If it fails once, do it again, and then again and again, in this way, pray that one day, the ritual will suddenly be successful.
Lu Mei walked around a lot here and found that these people's reaction to the outside world had degraded to a certain extent.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as you do not directly break into them as a living person, they will not react and will continue to do their own things.
This shows that their transformation into living corpses has reached a certain level.
Lu Mei found their ritual information.
The things recorded in it are not much different from what was said in the "Putting Rotten Bugs", it's just a little more detailed.
The Insect Cult believes in eternity and they pursue eternal life.
By chance, they discovered holy relics, which were accumulations of high-level power.
It contains the power of time, so they want to use this method to create a bug that can stabilize the body and resist time.
Then this bug can coexist with the human body to realize the eternity of the human body.
After that, they used two sacred relics related to the eternity of life as the cornerstone of the ceremony.
Then the ceremony began.
The ceremony went incredibly smoothly, and they completed the relevant preliminary work easily.
And the bug they wanted to create was successfully created. This is the so-called insect source of time.
The Origin Insect didn't have any abilities at the beginning and was only stagnant for part of the time.
Using the source worm as the mother worm, they began to produce insects of time in large quantities, and also strengthened the rituals.
Eventually, the Time Insect integrated into this area, and the Origin Insect decisively escaped and disappeared without a trace.
With only the function of the ritual, several fragments of time were peeled off from the time realm and fell into the hands of these people.
The Eternal Body became the Eternal Land, and the entire area was transformed into the current situation.
Then Hollander discovered the problem, and then led some residents and outsiders attracted by the mutation to seize the holy relics.
Then, using the south garden as a base, he created a driving lamp and opened a small portal.
As a result, a group of people were seriously injured during the battle with the cult, and they died more than once. Their bodies had already been parasitized by the Worm of Time.
Hollander opened the small portal, and they were unable to leave the Eternal Land.
As a result, civil strife broke out in that team.
Some of them snatched two other sacred relics and hid them somewhere.
It was also under this circumstance that the Light of Expulsion spread throughout the Eternal Land.
The idea of being able to leave through the small entrance in the garden was also spread back to the cult at this time.
Then there was really no one in the garden. Those who could leave had all left. Those who could not leave were gradually transformed into living corpses. They could not stand the large number of expelling lights in the small garden, so they were all driven away.
They did not want to mix with the living corpses, so they could only use a small light to drive away the living corpses, trapping themselves, and began waiting endlessly somewhere in the city.
After that, civil strife also broke out in the sect, and several fragments of time were stolen by some members of the sect. Apart from the rituals, there was nothing left in the entire sect.
Lu Mei then looked through some of the information collected by the sect.
It contains information about the whereabouts of the Pieces of Time and the two holy relics.
Among them, the 'old man' who had previously advised Lu Mei to leave quickly was suspected by them of possessing a holy relic.
After memorizing all the above information, Lu Mei began her own collection journey.
During this process, she also felt some subtle things, as if they were about to invade her body.
But this intrusion was fixed by her anchor and stopped.
If nothing else, those invading things are the so-called insects of time.
The insects of time disappear in time, they are formless and basically unobservable.
In this eternal place, as long as there is a change, it will be slowly infected and parasitized.
If injured, the speed of this infection and parasitism will continue to accelerate.
Eventually it reaches a certain limit, and it is completely connected to this eternal place, and can no longer be separated from it.
As for the power of the time realm, Lu Mei has not yet controlled it, and she still needs to solve the problems here as soon as possible.
Otherwise, we really have no choice but to leave early from the small portal and give up on rescuing this place.
