None of the villagers expected that Lucius would be so direct and shoot all those bugs.

You must know that the villagers in the oasis actually knew about the existence of bugs for a long time, and although they didn't know that bugs were incarnated as temple priests, they were still very aware of the existence of bugs.

In the earliest days, in order to allow each village to obey the orders of the temple and automatically donate their blood, the white-robed priests came to the village to collect blood, and they would bring insect warriors and let the guards of those scarabs intimidate the villagers and make them obedient.

It's like when Lucius met those white-robed priests in the previous village, in order to deal with the villagers' riots, he would also move the bug warriors out.

The villagers in the oasis know very well that those insects are the guards of the scarabs, and they have very terrifying powers, and they also have a very high status.

Usually, the white-robed priests selected by each village are to be respectful to the insect warriors.

From time to time, it happens that Bug Warriors attack the villagers in the oasis, but the villagers are usually afraid to speak out.

Because the villagers knew very well that even if they spread the word and reach the priests of the temple, no priest would come to their aid.

It can be said that in the eyes of the people of the oasis, the status of the Zerg under the command of the scarab beetle in the oasis is higher than that of the temple.

When they saw the temple priest, who was actually dressed as a bug, the villagers were actually not much shocked.

Now I see that those bugs were unceremoniously killed by Lucius, and in front of them.

This result frightened the villagers, who feared that they would be retaliated against by the bugs, and even more so that they would provoke the wrath of the scarabs.

However, not all the villagers were frightened, and some of the younger villagers in the village had already wanted to resist.

In the eyes of the young villagers, they are like cattle in the oasis. Oppressed by the temple priests and those damn bugs, now that they have the opportunity to overthrow the oppression, the young people are naturally eager to try, and some even offer to follow Lucius.

When the elders of the village saw that the young people of the village were going to follow, they quickly stood up and stopped the young people of the village.

A young man with some prestige in the middle of the young people in the village stood up and said to the elders who were blocking him, "Grandpa. Why? Why can't we go?"

The elder looked at the young man and said, "If you can't go, you can't go, do you all want to die?"

Naturally, the young man refused to give up: "But grandpa, after so many years, haven't we been oppressed enough?"

The young man's words immediately left the elder speechless, and the young man continued: "All these years, we have lived in an oasis, but in fact, what kind of life have we lived? We need to hand over most of the harvest of our hard work to the temple. ”

"Not only that, but we also have to feed these bugs with our blood. Or even giving the lives of our loved ones. ”

Hearing the young man say this, the expressions of the villagers present all dimmed, and even the elders who stopped the young man shook their heads and sighed. There is nothing to refute.

The young man walked up to Lucius, pointed at Lucius and said, "If it weren't for them coming, would you have thought about it, grandpa." You're going to be sacrificed, you're going to be sacrificed to those filthy worms, and if you die, what will we, our whole village, do?"

At this point, the young man suddenly grabbed a white-robed priest and glared at the white-robed priest.

The latter hurriedly said in horror: "Torem, you, what are you doing? What are you going to do? Are you crazy?"

The man, known as Torrem, unceremoniously punched the white-robed priest in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Angrily, he said to the white-robed priest: "This punch is for the sake of those dead people in the village, you ungrateful fellows, after entering the temple, not only did you not help the village, but you joined the same stream with those worms, helping them to bully and devour us. ”

Knocked to the ground by Torrem's punch, the white-robed priest neither fought back nor opened his mouth to argue.

The other white-robed priests who survived also bowed their heads in shame.

As Torrem said, they grew up in this village, but when they became white-robed priests, they didn't do anything for the village.

The elder still didn't want Torrem to follow Lucius, after all, Torrem was the grandson of the elder and the leader of the young people in the village, if even Torrem left, I am afraid that all the young people in the village would be eager to follow Lucius and them to the temple.

No one knew how strong the priests and scarab beetles in the temple were, and the elders really didn't want the young people in the village to take risks.

The elder stepped forward and grabbed Torrem and persuaded him: "There are some things that we can't ask about, we are just poor people who are sheltered in the oasis, relying on the ancient tree of life, and you are just cannon fodder for people when you go to the temple." ”

The elder clearly had something to say, and he made no secret of accusing Lucius of wanting to sober up his grandson.

Lucius looked at the elder with a smile, and slowly stepped forward and said, "Old man, there is something wrong with what you said, am I doing this for myself?"

Seeing Lucius come out to confront him, the elder immediately responded with a cold face: "We are just a group of defenseless poor worms, why should you involve us in the fight between you and those worms? We don't care who is in charge here, we just want to live." ”

"Hahahaha......" Lucius suddenly raised his head and laughed when he heard this, "Okay, it's good to live, you want to stay out of it? Even if I let you go, do you think those bugs will let you go?"

The elder was suddenly asked, and Lucius continued: "If we don't come, you will be food for the worms to swallow, and if we don't appear, sooner or later the scarab beetle will take back its shell, and then it will eat the ancient tree of life." ”

Lucius approached the elder step by step, stared at the elder and whispered, "Even if you are not treated as food and eaten by those insects, once the scarab worm eats the ancient tree of life and loses the protection of the ancient tree of life, will you be able to survive in the sea of sand?"

The elder was speechless, his eyes revealing a complicated expression, frightened by what Lucius had said.

Lucius took two steps back and said to all the village names: "Everyone's fate is in their own hands, and the key is whether you have the courage to manipulate your own destiny." ”

Ignoring whether the villagers could understand or not, and no longer caring about the villagers, Lucius said to Modexe, "Lead the way, let's go to the temple." ”

Seeing that Lucius led the people, turned around and left the village, and rushed towards the temple in the center of the oasis, the villagers immediately all looked at each other, and were silent for a long time, Torrem took the lead and chased in the direction of the temple, followed by the other young people in the village.
