The sky is approaching dusk, and the blood-red sunset slowly sinks in the scattered clouds, and the clouds reflect the sunset, and the sky is as red as drunk, setting off the deepening twilight, which makes people have an indescribable poignant beauty, as if even the heavens feel gloomy and sad for this sacrifice.

Looking at the altar in front of them, all the tribes fell into a dead silence, and some of the lost herdsmen, their faces were gloomy, and they all grieved for the two children who were about to be sacrificed to the beast.

"It's getting late, let's go on stage. The tribal patriarch sighed inwardly, still with difficulty.

"Don't be afraid, child, mom will soon be with you and dad. A herdsman woman was full of tears, caressing a three-year-old child, her eyes glinting with despair.

"Mom!" the three-year-old child didn't seem to understand his mother's crying, but stretched out his little hand to wipe his mother's tears.

"Prima, when the festival is over, Mom and Dad will go to accompany you. Vera burst into tears, and both she and Dorne were ready to die together.

Dorn endured his grief, picked up Prima, and walked with Vera to the altar, while the herdsman woman also carried her child to the altar.

The parents of these two families, every time they stepped on the steps of the altar, their hearts were like knives, and they suffered an indescribable grief, and they could only grit their teeth and keep stepping on the steps.

"Alas!"

When the patriarch saw this scene, he was also very sad in his heart, but he couldn't find words of comfort, his throat moved twice, and he could only sigh heavily.

Although there were only a few dozen short stairs from the ground to the altar, it was as if they had been tormented for a century, but they would rather suffer such pain, and hoped that this staircase would never go far, so that they would not have to lose their children.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and they quickly walked up the stairs to the altar.

On the altar, the parents and children of the two families hugged each other tightly again, and neither seemed to be willing to let go.

"Except for the priest, let everyone else leave the altar. ”

The tribal patriarch said with difficulty, clenching his palms, his heart was dripping blood, and he was also full of grief, if he could, he would rather exchange his own life for the lives of those sacrificial children.

"Here, child... Wait a minute, Mommy... Soon... Come back. The herdsman woman whimpered, her eyes full of reluctance, and tears soaked the hem of her clothes.

The three-year-old nodded obediently at his mother's command.

"Prima, take care of your brother, and we'll pick you up in a moment. Dorne clenched his fists, his eyes filled with guilt for his daughter and hatred for his own powerlessness.

Dorne, Vera, and the herdsman woman gritted their teeth and turned away from the altar, their eyes full of tears, their eyes splitting and their eyes red, and they did not dare to turn to look at their children again.

Because Dorne knows very well that once they turn around and see the child, their hearts will collapse, they will not be able to give up on the child, and they will make some crazy moves.

"Brother, we

of parents came to pick us up soon after. Prima hugged the three-year-old child and looked at the figure of her parents who were gradually moving away, and she seemed to have a bad premonition in her heart.

"It's getting late, let's start the ceremony. "The tribal patriarch said with difficulty.

As the words of the tribal patriarch fell, the bonfire was lit, and among the people of the tribe, a mournful music sounded, and almost the herdsmen looked at the sacrificial children on the altar, and they were silently weeping.

And Dorne and their choked weeping sounded, and their hearts were so grieved that they even lowered their heads, not daring to look at their own children on the altar, for fear that their impulsiveness would ruin the ritual and destroy the tribe.

As if unwilling to see this scene, the blood-red sunset quietly fell in this sad atmosphere, and the dark night gradually came.

After ten minutes, the mournful music stopped, replaced by a terrible cry, and the herdsmen clenched their palms and red eyes, all hating their powerlessness.

"Go back, the beast will come soon. ”

The tribal patriarch took a deep look at the priest on the altar and shook helplessly, they were powerless to change all this.

The other herdsmen nodded with difficulty, and stepped into the carriage one after another, many of them were not the first time to experience this kind of thing, but they could only reluctantly accept all these discoveries.

Prima and the three-year-old children on the altar looked at the carriages that began to leave the place, and they panicked and wanted to leave the altar, but their bodies were fixed with red cloth, and with their strength, they could not break free.

"Mommy!"

Prima and the others shouted loudly, their voices were hoarse, and their whole bodies were trembling, they were still children after all, and it was really difficult for them to accept this sudden scene.

"Patriarch, we want to stay here with our children. ”

When Dorne heard the cry of his child, he couldn't help but stop, and they all bit their lips, and the smell of blood spread all over their mouths, and they really couldn't get down and leave.

Hearing this, the tribal patriarch glanced deeply at Dorne and the others, and did not speak, but nodded.

The patriarch of the tribe didn't stop it, because only the sacrificial boy was there, and the giant beast had other people present, so it didn't matter, it would become its food anyway.

"Thank you, Patriarch. After the Dorne saluted the patriarch, they turned and walked away

The other herders shook their heads silently, knowing that when Dorne had no important concerns, they would choose to be buried and accompany their children, ready to die together.

"Take care. ”

The herdsmen who had passed by the Dorne patted them on the shoulders and boarded the carriage and began to leave.

Within minutes, the rest of the herders had already left, leaving only two families of herders, desperately waiting for the beast to arrive.

"Don't be afraid, child, Mommy will pick you up right away. ”

"Prima, wait a minute, the ritual will be over soon. ”

......

Dorne suppressed the urge to rush to the altar, and shouted to the two Prima on the altar, as if they wanted peace

Comfort their children.

The two Prima on the altar, though terrified of the rest of the tribe leaving, their parents did not leave, which calmed them down a little. But the body still couldn't help but tremble.

Not long after the other herdsmen left, a huge and inexplicable roar resounded in the wasteland, and the grass on the grassland suddenly rose and fell in the wind, followed by the roars of fierce beasts.

At the intersection of the wasteland and the wasteland, on the edge of the wasteland, there are ghostly lights gradually emerging, with the help of the light emitted by the bonfire, a group of shaking black shadows slowly approached, and the rustling footsteps made a loud noise.

The two Prima on the altar looked at the approaching beasts, their eyes full of fear, and they kept crying out to their parents.

Dorne ascended the altar and stopped on the steps of the altar, and they would not let the child die in front of them, even if he would be a victim of the sacrifice.

"Mom and Dad, those beasts are coming, come up to the altar!" Prima cried out, wanting her parents to come up, but the parents below the altar had no intention of coming up.

When Dorne heard this, uncontrollable tears welled up, they were completely desperate and ready to die, but they were going to die before the child.

"Brother Mo Yu, didn't you say that it would appear during the ceremony, why hasn't it come yet?" Prima was horrified and desperate at this scene, praying in her heart for Mo Yu's arrival, she knew from her father's mouth that Brother Mo Yu was very powerful, and he would definitely be able to drive away these fierce beasts.

Da! Da! Da!

In the midst of the roar of the beast, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, Dorne thought that they were hallucinating, and in this case, there should be no horses.

But as the sound of the horses' hooves became louder and louder, Dorne seemed to be sure that they were not hallucinating, and with the help of the swaying fire and the faint starlight, in the direction of the grassland, a black shadow galloping towards them.

"How is that possible?"

When Dorn and the others saw this black shadow clearly, an incredible color appeared on their faces, this black shadow was not from the tribe, but Mo Yu, who had already left a few days ago.

"It's Brother Mo Yu! Brother Mo Yu really didn't break his promise. After Prima saw Mo Yu's figure, her heart seemed to calm down a little.

Lu!

After a dozen breaths, the grass trampled by the horses' hooves splashed, and Mo Yu's figure had already reached Dorne in front of them.

"Little Brother Mo Yu, why are you here? Hurry up and leave, you won't be able to leave any longer. Dorn asked, and without waiting for Mo Yu's answer, he urged Mo Yu to leave here quickly.

Dorn didn't want Mo Yu to die in vain, and he didn't want Mo Yu to ruin this sacrifice and let the giant beast anger the tribe and cause ruin to the tribe.

"Brother Dorne, I said I wouldn't leave. Mo Yu chuckled.

"Little brother Mo Yu, leave quickly, there's no need to give your life for us," Vera also persuaded, they were early in the morning

Be prepared to die, and don't want to pull other people to bury them for them.

Mo Yu shook his head and said, "Leave this matter to me, I won't let Prima become a sacrifice." ”

When Dorn heard this, he still urged, "Leave quickly, this will affect the tribesmen." ”

Mo Yu glanced at Dorn deeply, did not continue to say more, turned his head to look in the direction of the wasteland, at the place of the dividing line, there were already one or two hundred fierce beasts gathered, gradually approaching the altar, I am afraid that it will not take a few minutes to come here.

"Mo Yu, leave.... Dorn still wanted to persuade, but Mo Yu waved his hand, planning his words.

"Brother Dorne, I know your troubles, but I really can't watch Prima become a sacrifice, and this sacrifice can only continue with my death. ”

After Mo Yu finished speaking, he pulled out his twin knives from his horse, without any hesitation, and ran towards the approaching fierce beasts without looking back.

Hearing this, Dorn shook his head helplessly, he knew that there was nothing to say now, he could only pray that Mo Yu would be safe, or that the giant beast would not anger the tribe because of this matter.
