Chapter 181: The Necromancer's Altar
"Body research?"
Lea looked puzzled; since when did the Church do such things?
But William didn't explain much.
After setting up the ritual implements around, he squatted beside the tall Mountain Man.
"Holy Nails can indeed lock the source of this guy's power." He thought to himself.
Just now, relying on [Holy Eye], William found several special locations on the Mountain Man's body where the evil aura was unusually dense.
Therefore, he thought of using power blockade, and it turned out to be effective.
Without energy support, this Mountain Man was just physically strong.
To prevent mistakes, William drove several more Holy Nails into its joints.
In this way, even if this guy suddenly recovered power midway, it would leave him enough time to retreat.
Aside.
After seeing the priest's actions, Lea looked somewhat surprised.
She didn't expect to encounter a clergy member here who could use "Power Blockade."
This was an advanced combat method.
In many horror events, the power on evil spirits and demons likely originated from a higher existence.
Therefore, physical purification methods were too singular.
But through the form of power blockade, the monster could be briefly separated from the existence behind it.
In this way, after killing the monster, even if the evil power flowed back again, it would be difficult to continue doing evil.
But not all exorcists possessed such ability.
This required the former to eliminate various interferences and keenly detect the "Source of Power" on the monster.
In the Knight Order, only powerful Templar Knights could do this.
Lea herself could only determine it by elimination method—cutting a few more parts.
"He looks quite young; could his strength actually be the same as a Templar Knight?" She pondered secretly.
On the other side.
William successfully woke up the tall Mountain Man through [Atonement Persuasion].
This move really startled the female Knight aside; fortunately, the former had no intention of attacking.
But seeing the priest try to communicate with the Mountain Man next, this Knight was amazed for a while.
"Have you seen this girl?" William took out Jenny's photo.
This guy was indeed an elite-level monster; sure enough, it knew a lot of information.
Through the other party's description, Jenny entered the dense forest more than ten days ago.
And it was the tall Mountain Man who sent her deep into the dense forest.
Seeing Jenny's tender skin and flesh, they planned to use her as a spare breeding tool, but before that, she needed to be baptized.
Knowing this news, William breathed a sigh of relief.
This situation indicated that Jenny was very likely still alive.
At the same time, he was also somewhat speechless; a group of cruel and bloodthirsty guys actually practiced baptism?
But the tall Mountain Man really didn't lie.
Every human female who obtained the right to "Conceive" must be soaked in a pool full of blood.
After that, she would have sex with higher-generation male Mountain Men one by one.
Ensure that the child born possessed enough "Pure Bloodline."
This news simply shattered William's moral integrity.
In the original work, he already thought this group of cannibals was perverted enough.
Unexpectedly, in this American horror world, this group of guys became even crazier.
"Why do guys bewitched by Satan all like to play with such disgusting things?" William complained inwardly.
Besides this, he also learned information about the depths of the dense forest.
Sure enough, there were many altars there, where numerous dead spirits were entrenched. It was a "Fortress" used by Mountain Men to resist intrusion.
And there were more traps deep in the dense forest, and a large amount of black fog pervaded it.
Only Mountain Men themselves could pass safely.
Jenny should be detained in a certain camp in the dense forest.
Only after accumulating enough "Breeding Tools" would the Mountain Men hold a baptism.
William frowned; it was hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be then.
At the same time, the Mountain Men deep in the dense forest were also more powerful.
They could live in the dense forest from birth, waiting for the lower Mountain Men on the periphery to send food.
And the tall Mountain Man was sent to the edge of the forest because its bloodline was not pure enough.
Lea looked strange, her gaze constantly wandering between William and the Mountain Man.
At this time, in her perspective, this priest asked in human language, while the Mountain Man made meaningless roars.
But surprisingly, the two sides could actually communicate!
Lea rubbed her cheeks, thinking she was hallucinating for a moment.
A moment later, William stood up and selectively told the female Knight the information he just obtained.
"How do you communicate with it?" Lea asked curiously.
Then she poked the Mountain Man again and tried to ask the other party, but was pushed away by the latter.
"This is the ability given to me by the Lord. As long as you pray devoutly to the Lord, you can be like me." William smiled slightly.
"You are very humorous, Mr. Priest." Lea also responded with a smile and asked no more.
After that, William asked about Lea's identity and purpose, which was naturally glossed over by the latter.
"Don't worry, I have no malice towards the Church," Lea said.
"We'd better hurry up; those missing tourists can't wait too long."
After purifying the tall Mountain Man, the two continued to move deep into the dense forest. During this period, William kept a certain distance from the other party.
Before long, they came to a wooden house and found a pair of Mountain Man mother and son inside.
At this time, the female Mountain Man was feeding.
The baby bottle contained foul-smelling dark green sewage, making both of them frown.
And that Mountain Man child looked even more surprising. From the outline, a human form could barely be seen.
But its face had no obvious features; the whole face had only an irregular opening, which seemed to be the mouth.
"I'll leave the small one to you."
"Okay."
Lea and William tacitly excluded this Mountain Man cub from the "Child" category.
Without any suspense, the female Mountain Man was cut at the joints and soon lost mobility.
After killing the Mountain Man, Lea cut open the other party's abdomen and observed inside for a while.
"What are you looking for?"
At this time, the priest's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Just checking if it's completely dead."
Lea turned around casually, and then saw William pushing a baby carriage.
"This is?"
She looked puzzled; didn't we agree to just give this thing to...
But William said: "These Mountain Men obviously have a sense of group consciousness; maybe this guy can be used as a hostage."
Lea froze on the spot immediately.
"Aren't you..."
She really wanted to ask, Aren't you a priest? Since when did the Church do such things?
But on second thought, this monster couldn't be called a child, so what the other party did seemed fine.
However, a priest carrying a monster cub still looked very incongruous.
Deep in the dense forest.
After crossing a certain boundary, the black fog in the air obviously became denser.
William glowed with white light all over, isolating all these evils. Lea also took out a dagger, on which some special energy emerged, wrapping her inside.
Before long, the two encountered an altar.
Black fog pervaded around, and ghostly shadows were eerie.
Lea frowned immediately; she didn't expect spirit monsters to exist in this place.
"We..." She just turned her head, but found the priest walking straight towards the altar.
"Hey, I advise you to make way, otherwise this guy's life is not guaranteed."
William pressed a crucifix against the Mountain Man's neck, full of threat.
Seeing this, Lea looked at the former repeatedly.
"Why do I feel he is very skilled at doing this?" She wondered inwardly.
In the next moment, the dead spirits rushed over violently.
But the altar seemed to have some kind of restriction; these dead could not leave too far.
For a time, the forest was filled with ghostly screams.
But William raised an eyebrow.
When those dead spirits rushed over just now, he clearly saw the other party's gaze locked on the Mountain Man cub.
"Could it be..."
William carried the cub close to the dead spirits and shook it around deliberately.
Sure enough, as he guessed, these dead spirits had very heavy resentment towards Mountain Men.
"Cough cough, as long as you cooperate obediently, this cub is at your disposal." William changed his tune immediately.
The corner of Lea's mouth twitched.
"Your stance changes too fast!"
However, the dead spirits still looked fierce and did not respond to William's words.
"Give up; these souls are full of resentment and can no longer communicate," Lea said at this time.
"We'd better find a way to expel them..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw those dead spirits suddenly become calm.
Then they actually stood in a row under William's command.
Lea rubbed her eyes, unable to believe everything in front of her.
"Is this guy still human? Even dead spirits listen to his command!"
On the other side, William put away the [Amulet of the Necromancer].
Then he said again: "You can speak out any grievances you have. Ms. Lea and I came here this time to solve your difficulties and completely eliminate that group of hateful Mountain Men."
As soon as this remark came out, many light blue energies emerged around the dead spirits immediately.
Then various scenes began to play on the altar.
The content was similar to what William saw on the abandoned altar before.
These people were brutally killed when they were alive, and then their souls were imprisoned in the altar.
After accumulating enough resentment, they would be sacrificed to Hell.
And William also got news about Jenny.
About three days ago, Jenny stopped here.
But the accompanying tourists were killed at the altar, while she continued to follow the Mountain Men deeper.
"Don't you want to ask anything?" William turned his head.
Lea hesitated for a moment and said: "Help me ask where the Progenitor Mountain Man is."
William raised an eyebrow; this sentence revealed a lot of information.
But he still turned to ask.
Unexpectedly, there was really a harvest.
According to these dead spirits, the entire Mountain Man race was divided into three layers.
The position where William and Lea were located was the second layer. The Mountain Men here had strong bodies and extremely fast speed.
But the most terrifying thing was their cooperation ability.
Mountain Men could release black fog to each other, polluting everything around.
As for the Progenitor Mountain Man, it lived in the core third layer.
The dead spirits were also vague about that place, only knowing that since the birth of Mountain Men, that place had been a cursed land.
And only Mountain Men with the purest bloodline could live in that forest.
William told Lea this news.
The latter said no more, just thanked him.
William had a faint guess in his heart but didn't say much.
Next, he asked the dead spirits to sit neatly on the edge of the altar.
Then he found a branch and walked in front of the group of dead spirits.
"What are you doing?" Lea wondered.
"Giving them a lesson."
