Chapter 97: The Priest Appears
The tourists around were extremely quiet, all quietly watching the girls in the light of the fire. In the loud and high-pitched singing, a sense of sacredness and solemnity spread through the crowd, and everyone invariably stopped taking pictures.
In the midst of the song, the door of the house that Huayang and Shura focused on yesterday suddenly opened, and a tall thin black man wearing a robe of animal skin, a feathered hat on his head, and three red and white oil paints on his left and right cheeks walked out.
Huayang and Shura glanced at each other, and the two began to retreat without a trace, this person should be a tribal priest, he is now coming out to preside over the entire divine sacrifice ceremony, then no one in his room will pay attention, and the two of them can take the opportunity to sneak in to find the puppet stone.
The tall and thin man strode forward with his head held high, followed by a young man who looked to be in his twenties, holding a wooden tray in his hand, covered with animal skins, bulging underneath, and I don't know what it was.
"In the late stage of the Xuan Realm, he can only be regarded as a good master. When the priest came over, Huayang released his internal force to feel the momentum on his body, and finally determined that this priest was only a late stage of the Xuan Realm, and it was very good in this kind of place.
The recruits in the organization are all in the Yellow Realm, and with at least a little experience, combined with the medicine provided by the organization, it is easy to break through to the Xuan Realm. As long as the killers who take over the task, most of them are in this realm, so Huayang will say that the level of this priest is good. Because there are no such good conditions for organization here, you have to rely on your own efforts to break through.
"It seems that the puppet stone is most likely in the hands of this priest, but it is not known where he put it. "Shura is the pinnacle of the Xuan Realm, and he is a priest in terms of strength, not to mention that he is a killer, and his combat effectiveness is definitely stronger.
"Let's go to his room first, maybe you'll find something. At this time, Huayang and Shura had retreated to the outermost part of the crowd, and the two of them looked at the unaware tourists around them, and their footsteps continued to move backwards.
At this moment, the girls' singing suddenly became muffled, and Hua Yang glanced inside, only to see that the priest had already walked to the reliquary pillar, and reverently lifted the animal skin from the tray in the priest's apprentice's hand, revealing a stone dagger the length of a palm.
The priest picked up the dagger with both hands and cut a wound in the palm of his hand, and the originally weak momentum suddenly rose, even the raging flames were suppressed by a single section, and the surrounding maidens and warriors knelt down on one knee at the same time to show respect for the holy relic.
"Wait. Huayang tugged at Shura's sleeve slightly, his eyes staring involuntarily at the stone dagger. Although this dagger didn't look amazing, after the priest held it in his hand, the momentum made Huayang a little surprised.
Hua Yang could clearly feel that the momentum of the priest who was originally only in the late stage of the Xuan Realm had risen all the way to the level of a Heavenly Realm master, and he could feel that this improvement was not only in terms of momentum, but also in the strength of the priest itself!
Seeing this scene, Huayang was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that this tribe still had some treasures. If he can get this dagger in his hands, then Huayang can at least increase his chances of winning by one point when facing the masters of the Heavenly Realm.
"This is a treasure, should we steal this dagger?" A trace of greed flashed in Shura's eyes, and he also saw the extraordinaryness of this stone dagger, even if he didn't use it, he could sell it for a sky-high price.
For the masters of the Heavenly Realm, money is nothing, if they can use the money to buy a weapon in their hand, they will definitely not hesitate to offer a sky-high price, and even exchange all kinds of rare treasures that ordinary people have never seen.
"Judging by the priest's actions just now, there should be any restrictions on the use of this dagger. Hua Yang squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly, he saw the priest's slash on the palm of his hand just now, but most of this kind of weapons that can only be used by feeding blood are a bit evil.
"Really, that's a shame, let's hurry up and find the Golem Stone. A look of disappointment flashed in Shura's eyes, since there were all kinds of restrictions, the value of this weapon was greatly reduced, at least it was not worth his shot.
"Wait a minute, we can't afford to act rashly now. When the priest took out the dagger, he borrowed some of the power of the dagger, and if we did it now, it was likely that he would be discovered by his greatly increased strength. Hua Yang looked at the priest in front of the relic, and said lightly.
This dagger is worthy of being a sacred relic in the tribe, originally the priest in the late stage of the Xuan Realm was greatly enhanced by its blessing, and if Huayang touched someone's room again at this time, he would definitely be discovered by the priest.
"What are you afraid of, it's just a late stage of the Xuan Realm, if he really wants to do it, I don't need you to show up, I can clean him up alone. A hint of disdain flashed in Shura's eyes, and he looked at the tall and thin priest contemptuously and said.
Although the priest's momentum rose, Shura, who was only at the peak of the Xuan Realm, didn't notice it, he only thought that the priest's actions just now were just pretending to be a ghost, and he didn't think about why Huayang would suddenly stop the original plan that had been discussed.
"You're not afraid of him alone, but if you add that dagger, it's not certain which of you two will clean up and whom. Huayang stood at the back of the crowd and watched as the priest respectfully placed the dagger on the reliquary.
"Wouldn't it?" Shura looked at the dagger on the stone pillar, but didn't see any way, so he could only frown and say, "If he is so powerful, then wouldn't our plan to find the stone be in vain?"
Huayang and Shura came for the puppet stone, if even Huayang was not the priest's opponent, then they didn't dare to go even if they knew where the puppet stone was, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to get out of the tribe's one-third of an acre.
"Let's see, this approach won't last long, we'll wait until the right opportunity to do it. Huayang stood calmly, confidently watching the priests and girl warriors dance together.
Although the priest's current strength has risen, this method of relying on external objects will not last long, according to Huayang's estimate, after the end of the divine sacrifice ceremony, the priest's strength will also fall back to a normal state, or even weaker than the normal state.
In the thick of the night, eight bonfires burned, and in the light of the fires, the maidens and warriors chosen by the tribe sang and danced, and the priests stood in front of the reliquary, their hands raised in the air, and whispered something in their mouths, as if asking for the blessing of their ancestors.
After about five or six minutes, the priest suddenly shouted, and the girls' singing immediately stopped. I saw the priest turn around, raise his hands at the tourists around him, and say loudly: "May the souls of the ancestors bless you!"
