Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 28 Possession, Becoming the Leader

"Is the wind picking up?"

On the ground, Zong Yuanming looked around blankly, unaware that a strong wind had suddenly risen around him.

A fierce gale blew in from all directions, making them stagger and even blowing away the clouds in the sky.

Something's not right! Nine out of ten points are wrong!

Drop drop!

The alarm on Zong Yuanming's body went off, and the numbers on it were skyrocketing at an extremely fast pace.

This is a common divine power testing device in the shelter. It can detect the concentration of divine power in the environment. The average concentration in a normal environment is around 1 point.

Percentages can only provide a vague comparison of high and low, while specific numerical values ​​are needed to truly see the difference.

Generally speaking, a concentration of 2 points can be considered a highly concentrated environment of divine power. In the Blackrock Mine, the concentration of divine power is 17 points, reaching the level of a second-order anomaly.

And now, that number is increasing dramatically.

"50 points, level 3."

300 points, fourth level.

1000 points! Tier 5!

"Why is it still rising?! This has already reached the level of an extraordinary natural disaster!"

A natural disaster did indeed strike them.

The howling wind had turned into a storm, relentlessly tearing apart everything in sight, with flying sand and stones obscuring the view.

Zong Yuanming stared intently at the number in his hand: 7863 points, at least at the seventh level.

Natural disasters of this magnitude are enough to alter the landscape over thousands of kilometers, causing irreversible catastrophes.

He shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

If this number appeared in some out-of-control, abnormal area, it wouldn't be surprising. But the natural disaster they were witnessing was happening right before their eyes, rapidly unfolding before their very eyes.

There are only two possibilities that could cause this phenomenon.

One possibility is an unavoidable and sudden natural disaster, indicating that the world has taken another big step towards collapse.

The second type is: "The extraordinary!"

Zong Yuanming: "There's a seventh-tier transcendent being down there, or a divine relic of that level!"

But no matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with him.

boom!

The earth suddenly cracked open, and boiling magma rushed in like a fiery dragon.

Run!

Zong Yuanming turned and ran, but just like his career, his luck hasn't been very good lately.

boom!

His head was struck by a flying rock and suddenly exploded.

As his consciousness faded and his vision blurred, he couldn't help but feel regret: "If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted this mission."

……

"cloak!"

The moment he realized his divine power had vanished, Cheng Feng made a decision: to distance himself from Wang Yu's location.

Since the exit is blocked, he can simply find another way.

Countless raging winds swirled around Cheng Feng, enveloping him like a cloak and forcefully tearing apart everything around him, including the earth and rocks.

The hurricane swept up from underground, carving a tunnel through the ground.

Even with a three-minute trial card for maximum attack and defense, Wang Yu couldn't catch up with Cheng Feng, who was riding the wind. He could only reduce a large portion of Cheng Feng's divine power and then watch him leave.

Fortunately, the Heart of Blackstone was left behind. The mutual repulsion between the divine powers of different pantheons prevented Cheng Feng from moving quickly with it.

Although he got away, Wang Yu had guessed the other party's identity.

The number of legendary powerhouses is extremely limited, and there is only one person belonging to the 'Wind' God system, namely the city lord of Silver City in the southern plains region.

She shook her head, putting those things out of her mind; she had more important matters to deal with right now.

Now that the Heart of Blackstone is in her hands.

Then there would be no need for this Blackstone Core race to exist.

I'm sorry.

A half-hearted apology determines the other party's fate.

……

The storm gradually subsided.

Stepping back onto the ground, Wang Yu's expression was a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The good news is that, with the help of the Black Heart, she redeemed all of her brother's souls.

The bad news is that only the soul remains.

Jie Sheng explained that to help Wang An regain his physical body, it would be equivalent to recreating a life. This would require investing a large number of sacrifices to gamble on the black box rewards, or sacrificing things with the attribute of 'life'. Jie Sheng would then create a body for him after he had figured it out.

But Wang Yu did not choose either of these methods; she chose another approach.

Possession.

By erasing a person's original soul and then putting Wang An's soul into it, he can be resurrected. Even if there is a temporary discord, at worst, a new body can be created when resources are more abundant.

Wang Yu couldn't wait to revive Wang An.

Cruel, but efficient.

Just like the storm created by Cheng Feng, even if it was only to save himself and escape, it still killed most of the people present.

The land was in complete disarray.

"Help...help me..."

A weak voice came from not far away. Wang Yu looked into the distance and saw Sun Tu lying in a pool of blood, most of his body crushed by the pieces of flesh. He looked like he was about to die.

"Brother, do you think I'm a bad person?"

"There are no good people or bad people in the wasteland. Those who were good people are dead. Now all we need to do is survive, survive at all costs."

With the help of the black box, Wang An was successfully resurrected from Sun Tu's body, and his injuries were mostly healed by the miracle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After being resurrected, Wang An immediately prostrated himself in gratitude, uttering words of loyalty, which made Jie Sheng shake his head inwardly.

Haha, I haven't even asked his name.

But Jie Sheng didn't care about such trivial matters. He turned back to studying the Black Heart he had just acquired. After all, they were just in a trading relationship, and as long as the other party could continue to provide materials, that was fine.

Whether they use the black box for good or bad, Jie Sheng doesn't care. After all, he's not from this world, and he's not even human anymore.

……

Zong Yuanming's shelter team was completely wiped out, including Chen Quan, the leader of the White Stone settlement, who was accidentally submerged and swallowed by the lava.

At this point, only about thirty people remained in the group, most of them wounded.

Fortunately, Zong Yuanming's contract with them was still valid, so even though Zong Yuanming was dead, they could still claim their compensation from the "shelter" based on the contract.

A mere few spots, an astronomical reward for the survivors, is nothing more than a number that a powerful organization like the shelter can manipulate; they certainly won't renege on their promise.

The power to distribute the compensation under this contract naturally fell into Wang An's hands.

He is now the only survivor among all the participants, and the previous leader, Chen Quan, is dead. Now is his chance.

As for whether anyone will disagree?

"Let me introduce you. This is a Chosen One; she's the one who just saved me."

"Now that Chen Quan is dead, I am the new leader. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Wang donned the swirling robe, no longer concealing his identity, and descended before the crowd as a chosen one.

Wang An himself inherited Sun Tu's status as a prospective chosen one, and now with the protection of the chosen one, who would dare to disagree?

Looking at the trembling crowd before him, Wang An nodded in satisfaction.

He went from being a scavenger to becoming the leader of the settlement.

Next up is Strange Stone City.
