Chapter 1283: Chapter 530: Eight Hundred Thousand Blood Volume

For this Seventh-tier Summoning Altar, Wang Tao had already gathered enough understanding. He was just missing the offerings and the summoning itself.

If zombies or other monsters could serve as offerings, Wang Tao would not want to waste this summoning opportunity. However, he was certain to accumulate 100% of the offerings before summoning, and his purpose in summoning was not to borrow the power of the summoned creature but to kill it and explode its equipment!

As for how to turn a target into an offering and sacrifice it, there was also an explanation on the Summoning Altar.

To make a target an offering, the prerequisite was that the target’s level must not exceed the Seventh Level, and it must stay within the altar for 24 hours. During these 24 hours, the energy of the Summoning Altar would invade the target’s body, transforming it into an offering.

If the transformation succeeded, the target would become an offering, and as long as the target was inside the altar, the user could sacrifice the target with just a thought. Just like how Tian Hua waved his hand and sacrificed Hu Zhe and others.

If the transformation failed, it meant that the person could not become an offering and naturally could not be sacrificed. For instance, Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and Lightning had not stayed inside the altar for 24 hours, so they would not become offerings.

Once the sacrifice was initiated, apart from the user, other lives below the Seventh Level within the altar could not leave, ensuring the success of the sacrifice. This was why, when Tian Hua summoned the Stone God, Wang Tao could not leave. This had nothing to do with his strength; it was purely a matter of being suppressed by the level.

According to the introduction on the Summoning Altar, the blood of the offering would flow into the altar, transforming into life energy, leaving no intact corpse of the offering.

But the current situation was a bit different; this Summoning Altar had a lot of vivid stone sculptures, all of which were Mammoth Base survivors who had been petrified...

Wang Tao speculated that the flow of the offerings’ blood into the altar was a rule of the Summoning Altar itself, and those petrified survivors were likely the work of the Stone God!

It should have been during Tian Hua’s first summoning of the Stone God that he had been influenced by the Stone God. The appearance of several Awakeners here must be related to the Stone God, so they would worship the Stone God and agree to do its bidding, such as bringing people to be petrified. The petrification of these survivors might bring some benefits to the Stone God...

Regardless, the lives of these three thousand-plus survivors should be blamed on Tian Hua and the Stone God. Tian Hua was already dead, and this so-called Stone God had been marked by Wang Tao; if he had the chance, he would definitely kill it!

However, the Stone God was a Seventh Level life form, and most likely of the Seventh-tier Calamity Level. Not to mention Wang Tao was only at the Fifth Level now, even if he reached the Sixth Level, he wasn’t confident he could defeat the opponent. So he needed to continue to strengthen himself...

While Wang Tao was researching the Summoning Altar, Jiang Shixue, having nothing else to do, went to study those stone sculptures.

Recalling what Wang Tao had told her, that Tian Hua’s Awakening ability was one that could petrify people, these exquisite stone sculptures...

"Brother, could these stone sculptures be survivors from Mammoth Base?"

Hearing Jiang Shixue’s words, Wang Tao nodded gravely.

Seeing these stone sculptures again, his heart still felt somewhat stifled. He approached the dozen or so people huddled together.

"Do you know where the survivors from your base have gone?"

These people immediately shook their heads.

They only knew that the survivors had followed their leader inside the hall, but now the hall had collapsed, and aside from the numerous stone sculptures, there were no survivors left.

"Do you know where your colleagues went?"

These people still shook their heads.

Many of their colleagues were also summoned away by the leader, but they did not know exactly where or dare to ask.

Wang Tao felt they were not lying; they genuinely did not know what Tian Hua had done.

So, Wang Tao pointed at those stone sculptures and said,

"Raise your heads and look at these stone sculptures; these are your colleagues and other survivors."

"Ah?"

These people were somewhat confused, as they clearly saw only rocks!

However, some of the smarter ones quickly caught on and couldn’t believe it, covering their mouths in shock.

Wang Tao asked a few more questions, including about the survivors from Ocean Base and Zou Jian, who had threatened Ocean Base.

They told Wang Tao that Tian Hua hadn’t lied; the survivors who came from Ocean Base had indeed been led into the hall by the leader, and as for Zou Jian, he had also entered the hall a few days ago and hadn’t come out since.

Clearly, these people were dead.

"Your leader has caused the deaths of so many people; we from Changhe Base will seek justice for these deceased survivors. You choose whether to come with me or to die."

Wang Tao said to them.

Though they didn’t know about some things Tian Hua had done, they were also accomplices and deserved some punishment. As for how to punish them, Wang Tao himself wouldn’t bother with it; he would leave it to City Hall. It was also an opportunity to see if more useful information could be extracted from them.

"I’ll follow you!"

Although following Wang Tao likely meant no good end, it was better to cling to life than to die; they didn’t want to die.

Wang Tao quickly searched the Mammoth Base one more time, and aside from some Crystal Cores, he didn’t find anything useful. So he gestured to Jiang Shixue and Lightning.

"Let’s head back first; we’ll come back to explore this Rift later."

He had just asked those few people; inside this Rift there were not only Mutated Plants but also Mutated Animals. However, they were all deep within the Rift, and they didn’t dare go too far. This Summoning Altar was most likely found by their leader here.
