Chapter 1974 There is a treasure

Although some people do keep spiders, centipedes and the like as pets, for the vast majority of people, these things are not worth keeping.

As recyclers who have been active in the void for a long time, Alyssa and her team actually have very few opportunities to come into contact with insects. All cargo and personnel on board will be strictly disinfected, and no insect eggs will be hatched on the warship.

You can imagine the psychological trauma of suddenly seeing such a large and densely packed group of things.

It was safe, at least temporarily, and everyone immediately began to check each other to see if there were any bugs hiding on their bodies.

Benben sprayed the magic flame sprayer at it, and it jumped back and forth under the licking of the flames as if it was taking a bath, and a lot of burnt insect corpses really fell out from the gaps.

And Shanna, who is always inseparable from Benben…

She was crying loudly. It seemed that even Sanafia, who was willing to kill without blinking an eye, couldn’t hold back when faced with something as disgusting as a bug.

“What on earth is that? Why are there so many bugs popping out?”

Alyssa also looked frightened. She comforted Sana and then quickly asked Li Chengxi.

“It should be some special sacrificial ritual. The swarm is the embodiment of the will of my enemies.”

This is actually quite metaphysical, let’s take Pharasma as an example.

If a believer does something that makes Pharasma unhappy, he will smell a smell of dirt in his nose and blood will begin to seep from under his fingernails. On the contrary, if he does something that Pharasma appreciates, the believer will see scarabs crawling out from his feet or nightingales singing overhead.

The principle is similar to this, but the manifestation of the Lord of the Centipedes is too disgusting.

He is truly an evil god.

“And I think it’s not just a simple sacrifice, but a sacrifice to increase strength.”

“The man with disheveled hair?”

“Well, it’s very possible.”

The spider goddess Rose will grant power to her believers if they offer satisfactory sacrifices.

This is not only because the believers please Rose, but also because the sacrifices offered themselves meet the conditions for God to grant power.

Li Chengxi casually bestowed divine power on Ordai, Zora, and Viola. On the one hand, it was because it was in the Demon Realm, the territory of the Demon King God, and the authority was the highest.

On the other hand, since he is a racial god and Viola and the others are all demons, it is very easy.

And for such a long time, Li Chengxi neither gave divine power to Yang Yiyi nor to Alyssa. It was not that he was stingy, but he simply had not found a way.

“In short, you should be careful. I suspect that the followers of the Centipede Lord were not brought here by accident. They may have come to the planet fortress on purpose. Their specific purpose is not clear yet, but judging from their behavior, they are most likely in a situation where they need to increase their strength.”

Cult members will not casually use their own people as sacrifices. After all, if all the people are used up, how can they cause trouble?
Li Chengxi has already sent a group message about this matter.

The camp of good gods represented by Bahamut, Heironeous and Lathander strongly condemned the sacrifice of the evil gods in their reply, while the evil gods including Tarona replied that this was normal, our sacrificial ceremony was like this, as long as the believers were willing to do it, your people would be fine, and there was no need to worry.

The replies from neutral gods like Pharasma were more mixed, some simply replied with a “received”, while others told Li Chengxi that if there was no conflict of core interests, he should not take the Centipede Lord too seriously.

Farashima’s reply was even clearer, saying that she had checked the Lord of the Centipedes and found that he was not a pseudonym of the enemy. You should have thought too much, but the Lord of the Centipedes was indeed a dog coin. You should be careful, because that grandson is not a good person.

Of course, this is not what Farazma originally said. This is what Li Chengxi understood it to mean.

Speaking of which, the followers of the Lord of Centipedes are coming here, could they also be here to grab the position of space priest?

This thought inevitably popped up in Li Chengxi’s mind.

How did they get the news? Logically speaking, only Li Chengxi and the Glow Ion Yin Xiu Society knew that the Space Priesthood was in the fortress. Li Chengxi only found out about it recently after looking at the location. Given the piety of the Glow Ion Yin Xiu Society, it is unlikely that they would leak the secret.

Anyway, it was originally just a simple adventure to find a space priest in the fortress.

Now it seems that things have become complicated.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Alyssa and the others rested there for a while. In addition to removing the bugs that might be hiding on their bodies, everyone needed to relax and soothe their tense nerves.

About five minutes later, everyone was back on the road.

I definitely can’t go towards the terrace. If I had known it was so disgusting, I should have never gone there.

Alyssa now really needs to find some treasure or something. Only shiny gold coins can make up for her psychological trauma.

I went to the terrace because I heard a sound, and then I went back to the entrance hall, where I could actually see a gravel road leading to the castle not far away.

Following this road, Alyssa and the others soon saw a collapsed ruin emerging from the fog.

This was supposed to be a sentry tower in the castle. The tower had completely collapsed, with only a broken base still sticking out of the ground, while the rest of it lay backwards and hit the outer wall of the castle not far away.

The scanner did not show any life signals. There was no one nearby. Alyssa was about to leave when Li Chengxi reminded her:
“Look at that base. Yes, it’s the base of the collapsed sentry tower.”

Alyssa looked over and didn’t see anything noteworthy.

“It’s under the rocks. Let Benben move the biggest slab. There’s something good inside.”

When Alyssa heard it, she immediately became interested.

Even if she knew what the space priesthood was among the many priesthoods, she was not actually interested in it, after all, she was a mortal.

But if you say there are good things, that means they can be sold for money.

This is very interesting.

The stone slab that Li Chengxi mentioned was very large and nearly half a meter thick. Even if the gravity here was only one-third of the standard gravity, it was definitely not a weight that could be moved by hand.

However, the golem Benben is extremely strong and tough. It grabbed a corner of the stone slab and pushed it hard, and the stone slab was pushed to the ground on the other side.

Alyssa couldn’t wait and quickly stretched her head to look, but apart from the stones, she only saw some almost rotten leather.

“Leather is treasure, it’s a rotten quiver with good stuff in it.”

Li Chengxi had made it so clear. Alyssa dubiously pushed aside a few stones that were blocking the way, and immediately pulled out a triangular leather product from underneath.

This thing is usually hung on the waist or carried on the back of an archer to hold arrows. However, it is now so rotten that its original appearance can hardly be seen.

Alyssa turned it upside down, and several arrowheads that had not yet rotted fell to the ground with a clang.

The treasure you are talking about, could it be these broken arrowheads?
“The stuff is still in there, tear open the quiver.”

As the leather was torn, Alyssa finally saw what the treasure Li Chengxi was talking about was.

A thin line like a bowstring, but shimmering with gold and silver…
