The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 374 Blood Locusts and Intelligence
"How do I know if what you say is true or false?"

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered and he started to question directly.

Upon hearing this, the tall man immediately said, "If you swear to join my Psychic Church, I will teach you the Psychic Irrigation Method right away."

Liang Yuan grinned and said, "Okay, then I'll join. Let's talk about it."

The tall man immediately shook his head: "Joining my Psychic Church is not something you can just agree to casually."

"Oh? Then what do you think we should do?"

"I have a small bottle in my arms. If you drop a drop of blood into the bottle and swear to the bottle, I will believe that you really want to join my Psychic Church." The tall man's eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled.

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out to touch the other person's arms.

During the search, not only a bone bottle was found, but also a compass, several power stones, and some rune bones.

Liang Yuan picked out the bottle, and the tall man shouted, "Yes, this is the bottle. Open it and drop a drop of blood into it. Swear on the bottle, and I will believe you."

Liang Yuan ignored him and looked at the bottle.

This bottle should be made of the bones of some mutant creature. The mouth of the bottle is plugged with a wooden cork, and blood-colored lines are painted on the pale bottle.

It should be some kind of special rune, but I don’t know what its function is.

Liang Yuan used his mental power to probe inside, but unexpectedly discovered that the bottle had the ability to block the detection of mental power.

Liang Yuan did not open the cork rashly, but shook it gently.

There was a sound of liquid shaking from inside.

"What's in here?"

The tall man's expression remained unchanged as he said, "It contains the essence and blood of the followers who have joined my Psychic Church during this period."

Liang Yuan asked in confusion: "Why did you believe it after I dropped blood and swore an oath?"

The tall man said, "If you really want to join, just drip the blood and don't ask any other questions."

Liang Yuan chuckled, thought for a moment, and looked at the fat man of medium height next to him.

"You tell me."

Liang Yuan released the fat man's puppet strings, allowing him to move above his head.

The fat man looked obviously frightened. He said quickly, "Brother, Brother Qin will not lie to you. If you want to join our Psychic Church, you have to swear an oath with your blood."

Liang Yuan smiled: "I ask you questions and you answer them. Don't say unnecessary nonsense."

As he spoke, he took out an iron nail, pointed it at the fat man's body, and said, "If your answer does not satisfy me, I will give you this nail."

The fat man shuddered all over and said quickly: "I can't say it, I really can't say it, I swore an oath on the blood bottle...ah——"

Liang Yuan slapped him directly, driving the nail into his bone.

The fat man immediately let out a scream.

Liang Yuan took out another nail and said calmly: "Tell me? I still have a lot of nails."

The fat man was trembling all over, obviously not someone who could withstand torture.

He opened his mouth and cried out, "Please spare me, I really can't tell you. If I tell you, I will be burned to death by the blood flames immediately."

Liang Yuan ignored him and continued to torture him.

The fat man finally couldn't bear the torture and howled, "I say, I say, this is the blood bottle of our Psychic Sect. There is a blood locust in the bottle——"

Before the fat man could finish his words, a blood flame suddenly burst out from his body.

With a whoosh, the blood flame burned rapidly, and the blood in the fat man's body exploded like fuel, and his flesh and blood dried up and shriveled quickly.

The fat man screamed continuously, but in just a few breaths, he was completely turned into a charred mummy!
Liang Yuan was horrified and quickly took a few steps back, looking at the blood bottle with some doubt.

He had just been concentrating his mental attention on the blood bottle and the fat man.

But during the whole process, Liang Yuan did not notice any attack.

That ball of blood flame seemed to have suddenly emerged from his body.

Even the blood patterns on the blood bottle did not change at all.

"how did you do that?"

Liang Yuan became suspicious and immediately looked at the fat man's body.

Could it be that the fat man's body was poisoned?
Did the conversation just now trigger some kind of toxin?

So that's why he died of spontaneous combustion?

The most frightening thing is the unknown power.

Even Liang Yuan felt a little suspicious.

His mental power quickly explored the fat man's shriveled body.

When his mental power swept over the other person's body, Liang Yuan immediately discovered that there was no blood left on the body, as if it had been burned dry.

All of his internal organs were shriveled.

But Liang Yuan did not find any signs of poisoning.

His expression darkened slightly, and he looked at the bone blood bottle again.

After thinking for a while, Liang Yuan suddenly raised his finger and flicked it lightly.

Bang-!
A gust of wind shot out like an explosion.

The wind from his fingers whistled, crushing and bursting the bone blood bottle almost instantly.

Suddenly, with a bang, the blood bottle exploded and blood splattered everywhere.

In the blood, there lay a soft-bodied worm as big as a little finger!

Liang Yuan's attention was instantly attracted by the insect.

The worm was blood-red all over, its body was soft, and it twisted and crawled in the blood.

There are circles of golden ring-shaped patterns on its body, shining with a strange luster.

Liang Yuan counted them carefully and found a total of seven golden ring-shaped lines.

He quickly moved his mental power towards the insect and felt that the life force in its body was weak and not very strong.

Even its mental power is only as strong as that of an ordinary mutant fish.

For a moment, Liang Yuan couldn't help but frown, wondering how this thing was valued so much by these people of the Psychic Church. He immediately tried to disperse his mental power to create the "puppet thread" and quickly control this strange soft reptile.

The whole process is easy.

This soft-bodied creature has been completely controlled by Liang Yuan.

But even so, Liang Yuan still couldn't feel that there was anything special about it.

Liang Yuan frowned and looked up at the two people who were still alive.

His eyes fell on the tall man, he released his control of his head again, and asked in a cold voice: "What is this?"

The tall man's face no longer had the previous enthusiasm, but revealed boundless fear.

"I, I can't say it. I'll die if I say it. I'll die."

Liang Yuan's eyes turned cold as he asked, "Okay, I don't need you to tell me. I'm asking you, can it control the life and death of the person whose blood is dripped into it?"

"Yes……"

The tall man nodded. This question didn't seem to be within the scope of his oath.

"You want to trick me into giving it blood so that it can control me?"

"I... I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me..." The tall man begged for mercy hurriedly.

Liang Yuan sneered and asked a few more questions.

The tall man didn't dare to say anything about what this thing was or how to attack.

Liang Yuan asked around and only confirmed that it was called "Blood Locust" and could restrain the bleeding person by devouring the bleeding person's blood.

Liang Yuan didn't understand exactly how this was done.

And it seems to be related to the oath made when the blood was shed.

It was the first time that Liang Yuan saw such a strange mutant creature.

This psychic religion really has something to it.

Then Liang Yuan picked up the items he had found on them.

The compass-like object caught Liang Yuan's attention.

He inquired, "What is this?"

The tall man quickly asked, "Can you let me go now?"

Liang Yuan sneered: "Are you negotiating terms with me?"

"No, no, I just want to live. I finally awakened my superpowers, I really don't want to die, please..."

Having seen Liang Yuan smash the blood bottle with his own eyes, he no longer had any awe for the Psychic Church.

The tall man in front of him completely gave up the idea of ​​fooling Liang Yuan and kept begging.

Liang Yuan scolded: "If you don't want to die, answer my questions honestly!"

"Yes, yes, this is a psychic detection compass. Its function is to detect the strength of psychic energy. There is a rune behind it, which is a detection rune."

"Exploring runes?"

Liang Yuan quickly turned over the back of the compass and saw a rune on the back.

The shape of this rune is round, and the pattern of the runes inside is not complicated.

"Detection runes are widely used in Guangfu. They are not only used in psychic detection compasses, but also in psychic detection glasses."

"It can measure a person's spiritual power strength, oh, that is, the strength of the supernatural power you mentioned, and thus determine the person's approximate strength."

"The psychic detection compass can detect the psychic strength within a certain range."

"In addition, the Guangfu military has developed a psychic detection radar based on the characteristics of the detection runes, which has a wider inspection range."

The tall man quickly told what he knew.

When Liang Yuan heard this, he was slightly shocked.

The detection rune has such a wide range of applications, but it has never been mentioned in military broadcasts.

It seems that this is listed as one of the core rune technologies by the military.

Liang Yuan quickly thought of a problem. This rune detection technology can be applied in various aspects to check the strength of spiritual energy in various places.

These psychic cult guys came all this way, could it be that they detected that there was a problem with the psychic energy intensity here?

"Did you rush here from Guangfu because you detected that there was a problem with the spiritual energy intensity here?" he immediately asked.

The tall man's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, "Not entirely. Previously, the three major sects of Guangfu were targeted by the military, and several major battles broke out, causing heavy casualties."

"We, the Psychic Church, are here to recruit talents and collect supernatural stones, and also to find a place of refuge."

"Then why did you come here?" Liang Yuan was not fooled by him and immediately asked the core question.

The tall man hesitated for a moment, and was startled when he saw Liang Yuan's murderous intent. He quickly said, "I am just an ordinary believer. I don't know much."

"I heard that the captain and his men discovered a place with very high psychic power nearby, so we came here."

"Later, we accidentally discovered that there were still survivors in this community, so we simply captured them and used them as reinforcements."

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked: "A place with high spiritual power? Where is it?"

"I don't know, I really don't know." The tall man shook his head quickly.

Liang Yuan thought about it and changed the question: "In what kind of place would the spiritual power be very high?"

"Where there are abundant psychic stone mines, or where a large number of psychics gather, the psychic power will be very strong."

"Because often places with high spiritual power intensity will have spiritual stone veins."

"Besides that, I heard from the people on the ship that floating islands usually have strong psychic powers."

"Floating island?"

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows and immediately noticed the word he said.

"Yes, floating islands. I don't know where the floating islands come from. I heard that these floating islands are not in a fixed place."

"They drift with the waves, and the islands vary in size. The big ones may stretch for tens of kilometers, while the small ones may only be a dozen or twenty square meters."

"Some people say that if we find the floating island, we may be able to find a way to survive in this flooded world."
