About the story of a brave man being a potato for a thousand years and then the world was destroyed

As soon as the words fell, the heavy door burst into golden light.

Then, the door slowly opened, and behind it was a circle of circular buildings that were sunken downwards.

In the center of the sunken building, there was a cylindrical altar, and a cable bridge of unknown material extended from the door to the altar.

On the altar, there was a statue of a girl that looked the same as before, but more delicate and sacred.

As the door slowly opened, the statue actually slowly opened its eyes, and then showed a sweet smile to everyone.

In the outer area, Mo Wente led everyone to a high tower.

This tower is about dozens of meters wide and more than ten stories high. There are seven in total, standing in various places in the underground space.

"Is this the tower we want to see?" Ya Yin frowned and looked at the tower. "I didn't feel any special fluctuations. Is there something inside?"

"Yes, that's right, but before you go in, you may have to be mentally prepared," said Mo Wente, glancing at Liu Ji, "especially your students. He is not like us. He may not be too used to this kind of scene."

"He is not as fragile as you think," Ya Yin shook his head, "and since he is in this world, he will get used to it sooner or later."

"Okay, but remember, no matter what you see, don't help," said Mo Wente, turning and walking towards the tower, "otherwise, you will kill them."

Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what it meant, they could only keep Mo Wente's words in mind.

After Ya Yin relayed it to Liu Ji, she seemed still worried and took his hand like a child.

Then everyone walked into the tower.

As soon as they stepped into it, the originally quiet space was instantly filled with crying sounds, and the smell of feces and urine instantly filled their nasal cavities, making everyone subconsciously cover their mouths and noses.

This is the lowest level of the tower.

There are countless columns standing in the empty house, and thorny vines extend from the columns, locking the necks of children who look only two or three years old.

Urine and feces almost covered the ground, and golden filaments hung from the ceiling, with golden liquid beads at the end.

And those children, enduring the pain of their necks being scratched by the thorns, tried to tiptoe, and greedily sucked the liquid beads, just like babies in swaddling clothes sucking milk.

69. Sorry, I'm old, and I suddenly forgot how to get there

Disgusting.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Ji could only feel two words, disgusting.

The foul smell stimulated his nasal cavity, and the unethical picture impacted his mind.

And this is only the first floor of the tower.

Going up a few floors, the content changes.

The tied ones are some smaller children who can't even walk properly. Their situation is roughly the same as the ones below, but probably because they are younger, there are no thorns on the vines tied around their necks.

However, I don't know if it's because of the bad environment, sickness or some other reasons, some children here are in good spirits, but some seem very weak, and even feel like they may die here at any time.

During this period, Liu Ji couldn't help it once and wanted to rescue these children, but was stopped by Ya Yin.

"You can't save them," Yayin said, "They all have curse marks in their bodies. If the caster doesn't remove them, they will die if they leave the tower."

As she spoke, Yayin took a deep breath and said in a pitiful tone: "The shackles tied around their necks are not just shackles, but also safety ropes to protect their lives..."

Liu Ji wanted to ask if the curse marks couldn't be removed, but seeing the same sadness in Yayin's eyes as his own, he knew that there was no need to ask this question at all...

If it could be removed, she should have started doing it long ago.

Resisting the complex emotions surging in their hearts, everyone walked towards a higher place.

As they went higher, the age of these earthwalkers' children became younger and younger. Later, the whole floor was full of hungry babies, who were in cradles woven with vines, sucking the nectar at the end of the golden thread.

At this point, there were obviously many more children of the same age than on the first floor, and the physical condition of the children was also increasingly different. Some were crying vigorously, while others were dying, and it felt like they might never be able to open their eyes again in the next second.

However, on the way up the tower, no one had ever seen a child's body.

They all understood that the older the floor, the fewer people of the same age, which could only be because some of their peers had died in the process of growing up.

As for how the bodies were dealt with after death, no one knew.

Going up further, the contents of the tower changed again.

There were no babies, but instead, there was a group of pregnant earthwalkers tied to the vine platform.

They were naked, with dull eyes, looking at the ceiling indifferently, with their mouths slightly open, waiting for the nectar that kept falling from the hanging golden wire, and it seemed that because they were about to give birth, their legs were forcibly separated by the vines, and urine kept falling down along the gaps in the vine bed.

"Ya Yin, do we really have to go up..." Looking at the scene in front of her, Guo Guo seemed to be unable to hold on, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

"No one will feel good," Yayin sighed, "I'm here, I'm going to see this place thoroughly. If you can't stand it, just close your eyes and hold my hand..."

As he said, Yayin stretched out his left hand to her.

Guoguo hesitated for a moment and held Yayin's hand, but took a deep breath and still chose not to close his eyes.

At this moment, Yayin held Guoguo's left hand and Liu Ji's right hand.

If you look at her height, she is like a child being held by two elders, but the fact is just the opposite. She may be the one who is like an elder.

Mo Wente glanced at them, sighed lightly, and said, "There are only the last few floors left, let's go."

As he said, he took the lead and walked upstairs.

Someone took the first step, and it would be easier to follow him.

Going up one floor, there are still some pregnant women who walk on the ground.

Going up one floor, it's still...

Then, finally, everyone reached the highest floor.

Here, hundreds of dull-faced earthwalkers, both male and female, were entangled together, numbly reproducing.

The smell of feces and urine alone was pungent enough, and mixed with the smell of hormones and body fluids, it was even more disgusting.

Looking at those men and women, from the perspective of earthwalkers' aesthetics, each of them had regular features and a well-proportioned body, but with those dull expressions constantly mating, how could they be seen as human beings?

Ya Yin finally understood why the little earthwalkers in the whole city were more handsome than each other.

Obviously, they were all earthwalkers, and there was no reason why the small group on the other side of the desert was uglier than the ones on this side.

The reason why the little earthwalkers here looked so distinctive was clearly because someone, or something, was breeding them artificially.

This entire tower was clearly a seedbed for breeding earthwalkers.

And the earthwalkers that were bred...

Ya Yin looked at the huge training grounds outside the window.

"Damn it," she murmured, "what on earth did the people who built this place intend to do..."

"Okay, now, you should go in and receive God's blessing," the priest smiled and made way for the circular temple.

Inside the temple, the girl exuding a sacred aura smiled and stretched out a hand, as if welcoming her brave warriors.

Seeing this, the earth walkers were full of excitement and got up and wanted to move forward.

Especially the thin little earth walker, who was the first to get up and wanted to run forward, wishing he could grow a pair of wings and fly to the statue.

However, he was grabbed by the ankle and fell to the ground with a plop.

He turned his head in astonishment and found that the short foreigner behind him was holding his ankle for some reason.

"Let me go!" He said anxiously, kicked his legs, and before he could break free, he couldn't wait to look forward again.

Seeing that the other earth walkers had already run to the girl who seemed to be the incarnation of the god, and could feel her brilliance and look up at her smile from a close distance, the little earth walker felt anxious.

At this time, the short foreigner said: "Calm down, you are here to join the army, not to make a pilgrimage."

This sentence was like a cold water poured over the little earth walker. He was stunned for a moment, and then he woke up in an instant.

Yes, he came here to defend his hometown and to contribute to the race like his parents whom he had never met. Accepting the blessing of God was just a ceremony. What was he in such a hurry for?

Just as he was in a daze, the black-robed priest came over, looked at everyone, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you going to receive the blessing of the gods? What are you doing here?"

"Well, that makes sense," the strangers raised their heads one by one, "Then why don't you go in first?"

The black-robed priest looked at the dwarf in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He asked coldly: "What do you mean? Are you doubting? Are you blaspheming our gods?"

"No," the short stranger raised his head and said with a smile, "I just suddenly forgot how to walk, so I want you to show me how to walk into the temple?"

70. Yain is right, beautiful girls can really lie

The priest glared at the dwarf in front of him, and his hand holding the scepter was shaking because of anger.

But the person in front of him sat on the ground calmly, looking at him with a smile, as if he didn't care about his anger at all.

And just when the two were in a stalemate, the little earth walker who was lying on the ground thinking about life suddenly noticed the change in front of him.

The beautiful girl who seemed to be the incarnation of a god seemed to be performing some kind of ritual for the seven earthwalker soldiers.

She gently lifted the cheek of one of the soldiers, stared into his eyes, and smiled sweetly.

The soldiers on the side looked at him with envy, and the earthwalker soldier himself was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He stared at the girl's eyes and breathed rapidly. He seemed to feel that he was not pious enough even kneeling on the ground. He also put his hands together and clasped his fingers tightly, wishing to dig blood from his fingers.

Then, the next second, the girl slowly opened her mouth.

For some reason, the soldier also subconsciously opened his mouth.

Then, some kind of mist-like strange energy slowly came out of the soldier's mouth, twisted and floated in the air, and then slowly flowed into the girl's mouth.

Then, two streams of golden energy suddenly rushed out of the girl's eyes and poured directly into the soldier's eyes.

A shrill scream came out of the soldier's mouth, and his body began to twitch violently. The veins on his arms bulged, and the whole person looked extremely painful.

The soldiers around him panicked immediately and retreated in fear, their eyes jumping back and forth between the priest and the girl in doubt.

They didn't understand what was going on, why the sacred blessing ceremony would have such a painful step.

Outside the temple, seeing that the ceremony had begun, the priest's face turned completely black.

He paused with the staff in his hand, and an invisible energy spread out.

In an instant, the little earth walker felt that there was darkness in front of him, and some invisible power surged out of the darkness, trying to drag him into the darkness.

However, the next moment, a holy light split the darkness directly in half.

When he came to his senses, he suddenly found that the priest had retreated several meters away, holding the scepter that was cut into two sections in both hands, and there was a horrifying wound of several dozen centimeters on his chest, with a look of horror on his face.

The little earth walker came back to his senses and saw that the tall outsider behind him had changed his clothes at some point. His mithril armor was shining. The eyes through the gap of the helmet were as sharp as a wolf. He held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. The golden holy light shone on the sword, purifying and decomposing the bloody blood on it.

"What is going on..." The little earth walker's eyes jumped back and forth between the two people, and he felt that his brain was a mess.

What was the scene just now? Why did the female knight want to chop at the priest? Was it to save herself? Could the scene he just saw be related to the priest? But why did the priest attack them?

Just when he was confused, another shrill scream came from the altar not far away.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound and found that another earth walker soldier was being grabbed by the head by the girl and performing that strange ritual on him.

The soldier before stood aside with his eyes blank, as if he had lost his soul, and did not move.

At this time, the other soldiers obviously also found that something was wrong. Just as they were about to escape, they were tied up by the roots that suddenly sprang out from the bottom of the rope bridge and hung in the sky, crying and struggling.

"Ha... As expected, there is no army from another world at all," the short earth walker casually pulled off the broken mail on his body and sighed, "It's a good thing that I was worried about the tyrant before, but in the end, alas, it was in vain."

As he said, he picked up the little earth walker named Jizi like a chicken.

"In that case, let's go first, bye," he said, and put Jizi on his shoulder and turned to run.

Seeing this, the priest pretended to chase, but the female knight slashed at him with a holy light. He couldn't dodge in time and was slashed away. He hit the outer wall of the temple, vomited blood, and had another horrifying wound on his chest.

"Ah, bastards, these foreign pigs," he raised the half-scepter in his hand, slammed it to the ground, and roared, "Desecrating the gods! You all have to pay the price!"

The next second, the whole area began to tremble, the outer wall of the altar rotated and unfolded, and the training ground was divided into small plots. From the separated cracks, architectural structures similar to the circular temple rose layer by layer, like layers of hemispherical shields, which would wrap the entire area in the complex building of Jin.

The three people who were running away had just run a short distance when they were blocked by the high wall that suddenly rose in front of them.

But the next second, a silver beast appeared under the feet of the three people. The beast spread its cloud-like wings, took the three people into the air, and flew over the high wall to the distance.

However, at the outermost side of the space, the towering building had turned into a complete hemisphere, covering the entire area.

“Haha, struggle as much as you can. Anyway, you can’t escape,” the black priest laughed, and strands of black silk threads flowed out from the wound on his chest, connecting the wound together. Soon, it was healed as before.
