Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 25 Blackrock Core People 1

The two men looked at Sun Tu again, which gave him goosebumps.

Sun Tu waved his hands repeatedly: "Never mind, forget I asked."

He suddenly felt regret; damn it, he should have never come in.

Sun Tu had heard that humans risk mutation if they stay in abnormal environments for too long. He wondered if these two were going crazy.

He angrily raised his foot and kicked the stone wall in front of him.

however……

boom!

A huge commotion erupted beneath his feet, and the stone wall appeared as if it had been bombed by explosives, leaving a crater and sending large pieces of rock flying.

"what?"

Sun Tu was stunned. How could this be? Where did he get such strength?

He looked blankly at the other two. Wang Yu still had no expression, like a person with a blank face.

Cheng Feng put his hand to his mouth in an exaggerated gesture, then laughed and let out a loud "Bang!"

Sun Tu tried to kick again, this time with little force, but the effect was explosive.

Seeing this bizarre scene, a possibility couldn't help but come to his mind: could it be that, unknowingly, he had been affected by the abnormal environment and was hallucinating, and the one who had gone mad was not someone else, but himself?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Sun Tu clutched his head and ran back the way he came without looking back, trying to escape this place.

Clearly, this whole scene was the product of someone's twisted sense of humor. Wang Yu, however, saw it clearly: when Sun Tu kicked out, a divine force attached itself to his foot at an extremely fast speed and then exploded, creating this effect.

"You're just going to play him like that?"

"Haha, don't you think this young man is quite interesting?"

Cheng Feng moved extremely fast; even Wang Yu didn't have time to see the color of that divine power clearly, indicating that his strength was definitely not low.

But she wasn't too worried. With the black box in hand, she wasn't afraid of any danger. That was her confidence. At worst, she would just expose the other party and sacrifice herself to get the gods to intervene.

No matter how powerful the chosen ones are, can they be as powerful as the real gods?

In fact, Wang Yu's idea was correct; Cheng Feng was indeed wary of the black box in her possession.

Upon arriving at the White Stone settlement, he habitually scanned the surrounding area and discovered Wang Yu, who was hiding in the crowd.

Cheng Feng was so curious that he naturally wanted to investigate. As expected, the investigation not only failed to achieve any results, but also caused him heavy losses.

The moment his divine power touched the other party, he felt an irresistible suction force, and the degree of fusion of his divine power instantly dropped by 2%! If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would probably have had all his divine power absorbed in the blink of an eye!

You have to understand that at his level, 2% of divine power is an extremely terrifying number. Even with his talent, it would take him several months to recover.

However, he didn't come away empty-handed. In that brief moment of contact, he gained a fairly good understanding of Wang Yu's situation.

A second-tier pantheon of wisdom, a fourth-tier divine relic, and a black box of unknown rank on his body—it was that box that absorbed his divine power.

Fortunately, Wang Yu is a god of wisdom; if the other party were a cultist, Cheng Feng would have killed her without batting an eye.

Cheng Feng could only accept his bad luck regarding the loss of his divine power level, since he was the one who probed first, which was theoretically a very offensive act.

Of course, the main reason is his personality. As a traveler who travels to various regions, Cheng Feng is very open-minded and acts entirely according to his own will.

Fortunately, his abilities were just enough for him to do these things; this time it was purely accidental.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Stonecore People's lair is behind the wall. I don't want anything else, just one collectible from inside. You can do whatever you want with the rest. How about it?"

Cheng Feng raised his finger, and wisps of breeze gathered from his fingertip, carrying immense divine power, and cut down towards the black stone wall.

This time, Wang Yu finally saw it clearly: it was 'wind'!

With a loud crash, the wall finally collapsed, revealing the scene behind it.

As the light shone in, what came into view was a vast expanse of stones, among which were some stone core figures that had already taken on human shapes.

Glug glug!

The moment they saw them, the Stone Core People erupted in a piercing, grinding sound.

A dense array of stones came into view; how many stone core people must have lived here!

The rolling pebbles I saw earlier were just the cubs of the Stone Core People; they only had a little intelligence and were not yet capable of absorbing minerals to strengthen themselves.

But the stone core beings in front of us, which have humanoid forms, are different. They can not only absorb rocks to shape their bodies, but also have the power to manipulate rocks.

By human standards, they are born chosen ones! They automatically acquire extraordinary powers upon reaching adulthood.

This makes perfect sense. A race created by the gods, what else could it be but the chosen ones?

"How did you guys get in, Gururu!"

Just then, a stone core human who was noticeably taller than the others stepped forward. He appeared to be a pure black stone core human, and the stones on his body trembled incessantly, emitting a rough, hoarse sound.

They originally intended to remain hidden and let these humans back down, but unexpectedly, the other side broke through the wall and broke in.

……

There are strict requirements for how to address a deity, which is both to express respect for the deity and to represent the piety of believers.

The titles of deities consist of divine names and personal names, supplemented by eulogies of their deeds.

For example, the deity worshipped by these Stone Core People, the "Spirit of Rocks," Kata.

"Spirit of the Rock" is the divine title, and Kata is the name. By calling upon the divine title and true name, one can express faith to the divine. Similarly, the divine can hear the call of the believer's heart and respond to it.

In addition to these, deities also have many popular names. When not praying, people tend to prefer these common names. For example, the "Spirit of Rocks" is called the God of Rocks, the Rock Whisperer, the First Stone Man, etc.

However, this god of rocks has not responded to his people for hundreds of years.

The current leader of the Black Stone Core Clan is named Mo Shi, a two-meter-tall stone core human. According to human standards, he is a fourth-tier powerhouse with a divine power fusion rate of 37%.

Moreover, this is not his limit. As the Stone Core People age, their core ore is constantly polished by the divine power of rocks, and the core density continues to increase, and the power will also continue to increase, even reaching the fifth level at the highest!

As for those above the sixth rank, that's a level that ordinary chosen ones can't reach. You should know that rank is also known as the legendary rank, and the conditions for advancement are extremely demanding.

Not only is a certain level of divine power fusion required, but also a corresponding great deed.

As for the epic rank above that, and even higher, the near-godlike rank...

Compared to other races, the Stonecore People are just an ordinary part of the masses. After all, even their god, Kata, is just a species created by the Earth God.
