"No! the same clan that falls, the ancestral forest prays for blessings, or you can get the knowledge of the human world. "It's a rare thing for Anima to say so many things in one breath.

The markings on his body almost melted into the old mare Zizig of the stout oak tree next to him, and he was silent.

After more than a dozen breaths, she struggled to squeeze out two words: "Whatever you ......"

After all, this tribe will be handed over to the young horse, and while her old man is still in control, it will be good for the future of the tribe to let the young successor experience the consequences of recklessness...... It's just that the Star Pickers who have already suffered heavy losses will be able to withstand future disasters?

None of this was spoken, her physical condition had deteriorated and her injuries were getting worse, and there was not much time left for the Star Pickers.

......

After having dinner on a small lawn in the middle of the forest, four real and false star pickers from the human realm continued their journey to the northeast of the camp under the leadership of Anima.

An hour later, they came to the end of the Grove, an open field full of ruins, and to see how fresh the ruins were—they must have just been destroyed.

As she walked through the ruins, Anima kept looking up at the sky and her expression became nervous.

Zhang Ning found a few very familiar beige lumps among the ruins of a pile of small stone houses, and he was about to step forward to investigate carefully, when he was knocked away by a Xiuzhen Realm star picking horse rushing over.

Hey, it's the other way around?!

The other two horses came over and squeezed Zhang Ning out of the ruins of the stone house.

The first star picker stretched out his long tongue and rolled up the beige lump and chewed it "clucking". The other two Xiuzhen Realm Star Picking Horses also came over to grab food.

Anima looked back at them and didn't stop, but her eyes were full of sadness. After a few breaths, Anima continued to walk forward, and the three star-picking horses of the cultivation realm obediently followed, and Zhang Ning had to follow.

As he walked, he observed the wreckage—some of which had been warehouses with grains and ears of wheat among the stone slabs, some of which seemed to have been inhabited by humans because of a tattered burlap shirt thrown on the haystack, and some of which were ...... The stone house that collapsed just now must be a sugar room, could it be that Mr. Jun Yan also lived here?

A group of five star-picking horses, real or fake, made their way through the ruins in an oppressive atmosphere, and they entered a woodland again, but instead of a tree with a tree, it was a tall cedar tree like a spruce.

The tall and dense branches of the trees obscured the light of the sky, and the forest was quite dim, and even the sound of insects was much quieter.

At dusk, they finally reached their destination, the tallest area in the heart of an unknown cedar forest. Every tree here is 100 meters high, and the cool breeze blowing in the evening creates a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

In the center of the woodland is a circular stone platform of mottled color and unknown material.

Anima motioned for Zhang Ning and the three Xiuzhen Realm Star Picking Horses to stand on the cobblestone platform, and after they stood firm, Anima immediately chanted:

"Where the stars go, the fairyland wanders. The foal is ignorant, and the ancestors are blessed ......"

...... He sang it ten times.

The "foal" on the stone platform had a distorted face, and he couldn't spit out the undigested grass until he endured it—what kind of bullshit prayer is this?Is it forcibly matched for the sake of rhyme?The cultural level of the demon clan is terrifying!

As the last tail note ended, the three Xiuzhen Realm Star Picking Horses lay on the ground together.

Zhang Ning has already discovered that as a horse, he can lock the knee and elbow joints when standing, that is, use the bones as support to relax the muscles, so the horse can stand to sleep and rest, not have to lie on his stomach to rest, which should be a function evolved as a predator in order to be able to quickly escape from predators. It can be seen that the two-tailed horse king Kagozoo is lying on the throne, most likely to show off his authority and show off his strength - even if he is lying on his stomach, he can cope with various crises.

But after the prayer was over, the three Xiuzhen Realm Star Picking Horses were like being drained of their souls and smashed on the stone platform like three pieces of horse meat. This is...... Was it sacrificed?

Zhang Ning could only pretend to fall on the round platform.

When Anima saw that the four world-picking horses were ready and waiting to receive the "blessing of their ancestors", Anima turned and left.

......

An hour later, confirming that Anima did not plan to return soon, Zhang Ning jumped up, stomped his hooves, shook his tail, shook the fallen leaves on his body, and flashed back to Qiankun Baoshao.

It took him ten breaths to adjust the turbulence of spiritual power in his body, two breaths to change back into his human form, and another breath to get dressed - in the demon world, Zhang Ning couldn't change back into human form at will, because using the "Transfiguration" immortal technique to restore his human form also required spiritual support.

After a tea time, Zhang Ning was already comfortably leaning on the recliner, stroking the red-haired spa cabin and drinking iced fruit wine.

That's right, he's a pleasure-hungry protagonist, and it's impossible to share the joys and sorrows with the three livestock dragons.

Zhang Ning was monitoring the movements in the forest while thinking about the future direction of the plot - he believed that his level of lingua franca in the demon world, according to Anima, should not have planned to sacrifice the four of them. He guessed that there would be a routine of 'possession of the soul of the demon of the highly compatible star picking horse, and excavating the memory picture of the star picking horse in the human world'.

Fortunately, the three star-picking horses had never seen themselves transform, so it was not a big problem.

When the child was young, the crisp "jingle bell" sound resounded throughout the woods.

Zhang Ning jumped out before he could transform!

Now, the whole forest was completely different from what he had seen before—

The black trunk of the tree turned a translucent brown as if blood was flowing in between, the conical canopy was greener and verdant than before, and dozens of pale star-picking horse bones hung from the branches of each tree, all in a unified posture of star-raising horns pointing directly into the night sky.

The starry corners glowed with a hazy golden light, and the bones swayed gently with the night wind, making a "tinkling" crashing sound. After a few breaths, each of the skeletons of the star-picking horses oozed white mist-like tentacles, all of which stretched towards the central stone platform in a race against time.

Zhang Ning stood beside the stone platform with a solemn expression-

It's Christmas so soon?
