Chapter 3515: World fragment _1
Translator: 549690339
The circular square in the center of the city extended to dozens of passages that led to all corners of the city.
These passages were wider than this one, and there were sculptures and buildings on both sides of the road. At a fixed time, both sides of the road would be filled with people.
At the end of these roads, there would be a prison that looked like a ferocious beast.
Dozens of giant beast statues surrounded the area, forming a magnificent yet strange formation, guarding the giant tower in the central square.
Prisoners for sacrifice were kept in these gloomy prisons.
The residents of the city would actively capture sacrifices and then lock them up in cages.
On a fixed date, the prisoners would be killed as a sacrifice, and their blood would be absorbed by the vortex on the tower.
It was said that such a sacrifice could please the great God and give the residents of the city protection.
This was indeed the case. As the number of sacrifices increased, the number of cultivators in the city increased.
The residents who had gained benefits were even more passionate about offering sacrifices. They often attacked other tribes to capture sacrifices.
They could also buy a large number of servants with money, and some of them would even provide services to earn money.
To the residents of the city, worshipping the gods was their top priority, and they couldn’t be affected in any way.
After each sacrifice, the cell would become empty, but it would be filled up again very quickly.
This cycle continued for a long time.
All of the above information came from the story of a resident.
At this moment, he was holding his neck, his face full of despair, and he was lying on the ground like mud.
In the remote corner, no one had seen what had happened to him, let alone offered help.
Until the last moment before their death, the residents suddenly realized that there was something wrong with interrogating and killing their own residents.
It was as if his flesh was too loose and would fall off at any time.
He dragged the corpse to a corner and confirmed that no one would discover it within a short period of time before he left unhurriedly.
While he was walking, Tang Zhen reached out to hold his shoulder. He first pushed the flesh that had slipped back to its original position and then secretly fixed it.
This body didn’t belong to him, and when he did intense movements, he would always slide down involuntarily.
Due to the limited conditions, they could only try their best to overcome it.
If one were to remove his mask and clothes, one would discover that the parts of his body that were covered were actually tightly bound by muscles.
His hands and feet were like boots and gloves that were also worn by Tang Zhen. It was very difficult to discover any abnormalities.
This kind of dissecting knife skill was simply divine, and ordinary people could not do it at all.
The demons and devils of some worlds were very good at this. They could use corpses to create perfect flesh shells.
It could connect to one’s blood vessels and organs to maintain the life of the body. It would not be a problem even if it lasted for decades.
If he didn’t want it, he could also cut off his meridians and break his body to find a new body.
The brawny man who was guarding the cage had died countless times. However, his corpse had been used to the extreme by Tang Zhen.
The low-level demonic ghosts did not have such a method and had to change their bodies every once in a while.
Sometimes, in order to remove odor and maintain skin color, they had to use various spices to cover up their faces and use brush and ink to draw on their faces.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was imitating the low-level Painted Skin ghost, and the effect was quite good.
Tang Zhen used the brawny man’s body to hide from the guards and witnessed the entire sacrificial process.
He watched as the numbed cultivators were beheaded by the executioners, but they didn’t do anything.
Then, he ambushed a resident in an alley and obtained some information from him.
At this moment, Tang Zhen had already confirmed that there were no powerful cultivators in this city.
Otherwise, his low-level disguise would have been seen through by a high-level cultivator.
Such a situation should be related to the era they were in. After all, this was tens of millions of years ago.
In ancient times, the number of cultivators was quite small, and most of them only had shallow means.
They were as insignificant as ants, and it was already difficult for them to survive in the face of the terrifying primordial chaos Beast.
With the passage of time, cultivators would become stronger and stronger, and slowly, they would see the prosperity of tens of millions of years later.
The cultivators in this city that existed tens of millions of years ago were not very strong, but they were still not an existence that cultivators could fight against.
It was because the cultivators were playing the role of prisoners, the sacrificial offerings to be killed, and their powerful cultivation base had disappeared without a trace.
Under such circumstances, the cultivators had no way to fight against the primitive cultivators who were now able to crush them.
Even if they fought back, they would still end up being killed.
This was only on the surface. According to Tang Zhen’s analysis, the matter was definitely not so simple.
Just like Tang Zhen at this moment. He had avoided being beheaded and sacrificed. This did not mean that he could safely escape.
Although they had escaped from the small cage, there was an even bigger cage that imprisoned the cultivators.
Although he did not investigate, Tang Zhen was certain that he could not escape from this strange city.
It was a real existence, but it was completely isolated from the rest of the world. The prisoners without any cultivation had no means of escape.
There was only one way to escape, and that was to break the rules of this world and destroy the key items, making it impossible for it to function normally.
If he couldn’t do this, he could only be imprisoned forever.
However, in the fragment world created by ancient creatures, even cultivators could not escape, let alone a group of prisoners who had become ordinary people.
There was another crucial point that caused the cultivators to feel numb and despairing.
However, such a scene was basically in a state of cycle. After a certain time, it would start again.
The prisoners who were killed would reappear in the prison, including Tang Zhen.
Anyone who encountered such a situation would feel despair until they completely lost their confidence.
However, Tang Zhen had discovered some details that could also be called loopholes. It proved that the existence of this world was not rigorous.
These loopholes, big and small, could perhaps be used to reverse the unfavorable situation.
The problem that Tang Zhen had discovered should also be discovered by the other cultivators of Lou Cheng.
Ancient creatures were born from chaos and were born with a natural flaw. Their thinking was simple and slow.
Even if one’s strength continued to increase, reaching the level of a God King, the increase in intelligence was still very limited.
In fact, it was not unusual for flaws and loopholes to appear in the fragment world constructed by it.
But even so, it was still not very useful.
The Warriors knew the Dragon’s weakness, and the soldiers knew the identity and appearance of the enemy chieftain, but that did not mean that they had the ability to kill it.
A nuclear bomb could destroy a city, but how many people could get their hands on it, or even create it?
Even if they found a loophole and tried to crack it, they might not be able to get out of the predicament.
There were definitely cultivators working on it in secret, but they were at different times and were not known to outsiders.
During the ritual, some prisoners had tried to resist, but they were killed by the soldiers in the end.
It was obvious that these prisoners still had the thought of resisting, but unfortunately, they were outnumbered in the end.
The cultivators might have been sent to the world fragment in batches to prevent the prisoners from being united.
When some of the prisoners were fighting back with their blood boiling, the other prisoners were indifferent. How could they succeed in this way?
However, the prisoners could not be blamed, because when they resisted, they also did not get the expected response.
A cultivator’s mind was as hard as steel. By right, they shouldn’t be so dispirited, nor should they give up so easily.
However, if they were silently influenced by some power, it would indeed change the mentality of cultivators.
After reaching a certain level, they would become depressed and dispirited, finally showing a numb and resigned attitude.
After having a preliminary judgment, Tang Zhen immediately began to act. He only wanted to verify if his guess was correct.
