National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

The next day.

Early in the morning, Fang Heng and his group entered the cave of the Sea God Island sacrificial site under the guidance of Priest Bridget.

Compared to last night, the aura of faith in the sacrificial site was even stronger, and a faint red mist lingered throughout the entire site.

As the priests chanted, the believers knelt down in prayer.

Fang Heng and his group stood at the back of the line, showing no intention of kneeling or worshipping, but instead looking at the old man sitting in the center of the sacrificial ceremony.

Meng Qingyu whispered, "Your Majesty, that man is Soye, the high priest of the Sea God Island."

Suddenly, Sawyer opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Fang Heng and his group.

Suddenly, a mental suggestion struck everyone.

Cao Ge's mental strength was not strong. He subconsciously stared into Sawyer's eyes and was suddenly struck by the spirituality. He immediately had an impulse to kneel down and worship the old man along with the believers.

He quickly suppressed the impulse in his heart and looked away from the old man.

"Wake up, Cao Ge."

Upon hearing Fang Heng's voice, Cao Ge's heart skipped a beat, his spirits lifted, and he fully recovered, his initial impulse to worship vanishing.

He looked again at High Priest Soye in the center of the sacrificial site, a chill running through him.

It's said that the followers of Poseidon's Island are skilled at brainwashing, but I never expected it to be a direct spiritual shock.

They really stop at nothing.

If Fang Heng hadn't intervened, he almost wouldn't have been able to stop him.

Sawyer realized that the spiritual power released by the deity was affected by some unknown interference and had not been able to take effect on Fang Heng and his group, which surprised him.

Just as Darcy said, this group of people is not easy to deal with.

The sacrificial ceremony ended a little over ten minutes later.

Darcy, accompanied by several believers, approached Fang Heng and his companions.

"Gentlemen, High Priest Sawyer wishes to see you. Please follow me."

……

A moment later, Fang Heng and the others met the High Priest in the reception room.

"Welcome to the Island of Sacrifice. We have heard that there was some unpleasantness between you and the warships of the Lyman Empire yesterday. Please believe that this was not the intention of the Island of the Sea God. We have no intention of getting involved in any conflicts between empires."

Sawyer looked at the group and nodded slightly, saying, "I am impressed by your strength in single-handedly repelling the warships of the Lyman Empire. I heard from Priest Bridget that you came to the Island of the Sea God to seek a statue of a deity?"

Fang Heng said, "Yes."

"The Island of the Sea God will not grant statues of deities to outsiders unless one of you is willing to become a follower of the Sea God. After that, and after passing a series of tests by the Island of the Sea God, the Island of the Sea God will bestow statues of deities upon you based on your contributions to the Sea God."

Sawyer looked at the crowd, "Are you willing to accept this?"

"of course."

They had inquired about how to obtain the deity statue from the island of Poseidon yesterday with other merchant ship personnel in the accommodation area.

Most people come to the island to obtain statues of deities.

The Island of Poseidon only requires one follower of the Island of Poseidon within a team.

This believer demanded that no other faith be held.

Fang Heng had already made preparations in advance.

One of the natives in the team was a believer in the Island of the Sea God.

However, it has not yet received formal recognition from the Island of the Sea God.

“Very good. You can have him come to me as soon as possible to complete the ceremony. In addition, we happen to have a special task that we can submit to you right now, which can help you gain the recognition of the Island of the Sea God as soon as possible.”

"Please wait a moment."

Fang Heng interrupted, "High Priest, we have no interest in ordinary deities; we want the most powerful ones."

"Oh? The most powerful deity?"

Sawyer looked at Fang Heng, thinking to himself about Fang Heng's arrogance. He then lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "I sense your greed, but I must remind you that ordinary people cannot control the full power of gods, and high-ranking gods cannot be easily manipulated."

“We will find a way,” Fang Heng said. “In addition, we are willing to complete the task assigned to us by Poseidon’s Island, but I hope the difficulty of the task can be increased, as we are in a hurry.”

"As you wish."

Sawyer remained calm and gestured with his eyes to a priest beside him.

The priest stepped forward and handed a document to Sawyer.

Sawyer flipped directly to the last few pages, glanced at them briefly, and said, "In that case, I need you to enter the Whispering Isle, find the divine authority of the Whispering Isle, and bring it back here."

[Hint: The player team has triggered the quest - The Divine Authority of the Whispering Isle].

Quest Name: The Divine Authority of the Whispering Isle.

Task difficulty: SSS.

Quest Description: The Isle of Poseidon hopes you can help them gain divine authority over the Isle of Whispers.

Mission requirement: Obtain divine authority.

Task Rewards: A large amount of Poseidon Island favorability points and a large amount of Poseidon Island contribution points.

Upon hearing about Whispering Isle, the expressions on Cao Ge and the other players' faces immediately turned grim.

Fang Heng noticed the expressions on their faces, but didn't say anything. He just glanced at the mission description and asked, "If I successfully complete the mission, will I be able to obtain the strongest deity statue on Seagod Island?"

"Naturally, if you can complete the mission, you can choose any deity of this Sea God Island."

"Okay, we'll take this mission and set off now."

"I am here awaiting good news from you all."

Sawyer smiled and watched everyone leave.

"High Priest, do you really agree to let them choose any deity statue on the Island of the Sea God?"

"Hahaha."

Sawyer couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Their strength is indeed quite good, but that's all. They think they can reclaim divine authority from Whispering Isle? You must be joking."

"However, with their abilities, they might be able to teach those unruly barbarians on the island a lesson."

"The High Priest is wise."

Darcy was completely convinced.

The high priest's move achieved three goals at once.

This way, the mission entrusted by the Lyman Empire was fulfilled, the reputation of the Isle of the Sea God was preserved, and a little trouble was brought to the Whispering Isle along the way.

……

After bidding farewell to the sacrificial site, Fang Heng and the others returned directly to their merchant ship and set sail for Whispering Island.

Fang Heng asked, "What kind of place is the Whispering Isle?"

"In terms of maritime ownership, that area belongs to the Yac clan."

Meng Qingyu took a deep breath and continued to explain: "Initially, the Yak clan stationed troops on the island. Suddenly one day, a drastic change occurred on the island, and the garrison on the island lost their minds and rebelled against the empire."

"The Yak clan tried to suppress it several times afterward, but all failed. In the end, they had no choice but to abandon the island. Other empires also tried to take control of the island, but they all failed."

"Later, rumors spread that the island was influenced by an unknown evil deity, and that those who entered the island would lose consciousness and become puppets of the evil deity. Over time, any ship passing by Whispering Island would detour." (End of Chapter)
