Volume 2: The Secret of the Illusion Chapter 81: The Prophecy of Salvation
Since it is a sacrifice, there must be sacrifices, and there must be objects of sacrifice.
It is likely that the sacrificial offerings were the bags that had been thrown out of the hole, and now that the priest was already dancing the sacrificial dance, it must have been the object of the sacrifice as well.
Sure enough, as the priest dance progressed, the sky gradually darkened, and the sea water outside the blister cover of the Dragon Palace Illusion became darker and darker, and finally turned directly into ink.
Those dragons kneeling on the ground didn't dare to come out, although they didn't raise their heads, but the light and darkness around them changed, making them feel that the sky had changed color, which also proved that the thing that scared them was coming.
When the day was as dark as the night, when the sea was as black as ink, and everyone's vision became the worst, suddenly a huge round mouth was fastened into the hole of the blister cover.
The huge mouth like an abyss, the saw-like fangs that surrounded the mouth, only a little wriggling, swallowed all the sacrifices brought by the dragons, and there was not even a trace of residue left.
Mu Cheng Xiaochi stood in the reincarnation space, looking at the scene outside the cave with a serious face, the matter seemed to be more serious than the two of them imagined, they thought they could explore the reality and reality, but now they didn't even see the object of the sacrifice.
And just by looking at this thing's mouth, you can imagine its terrifying size.
Roar!
The monster ate the sacrifice, and seemed to be a little unsatisfied, roared dissatisfied, struck the blister cover, and left the spiritual food mouth.
And those dragonmen who were kneeling on the ground, when they heard the roar of the monster, their faces changed greatly, and they did not satisfy the monster!
"Bastards, you moths, you can't do this little thing, the Hades are very dissatisfied now because they haven't eaten enough, if the next sacrifice is still like this, then you can take your own lives as a sacrifice for the Hades!
The white-robed dragonman kicked Lie'an down, scolding and threatening the dragonmen kneeling on the ground, and the dragonmen kneeling on the ground all trembled when they heard the words of the white-robed dragonman.
Liean got up again, kneeling in front of the white-robed dragonman and begging.
"Lord Priest, we really don't have food to feed the Hades, look at what we eat and wear, where we look like we can afford to get so much food.
Recently, the items given by God are getting less and less, after the sacrifice is over, there is still a surplus, which can be shared by everyone, but now it is not enough to even be a sacrifice, and we have to go door to door to post it, we are really powerless, can you ask the Mother of Dragons to help us?"
"Hmph, it must be you dirty inferior dragonmen who angered the gods, so they sent down the punishment, but now you want the Dragon Mother to help you pay for your sins, shameless things, get out of me, the next sacrifice, I don't care what method you use, you must satisfy the Hades, otherwise, hum!"
The white-robed priest kicked Lie'an away again, shook off his robe and left, leaving a group of dragonmen who dared not speak in anger.
After the white-robed dragon man was completely gone, all the dragons dared to raise their heads, stand up, gather together, and help the injured Lie'an up.
"Why, why, we're all dragonmen, why do this to us? Just because our ancestors helped a bad human? It's so unfair. ”
One of the young dragons, who looked very weak, complained indignantly.
"That's it, when it goes on like this, it's going to be a head, and we're going to die anyway, or we're going to do the opposite. ”
Another young dragonman with a scar in the corner of his eye should also be in harmony.
"Bastard, Liewen, Liezhan, what kind of nonsense are you talking about! If it weren't for our ancestors, the old dragon king would not have been seriously injured and has not woken up to this day, our ancestors have done too much, and it should be repaid by our descendants. ”
One of the older dragonmen, listening to the juniors' rebellious words, shouted to stop them.
"But Uncle Cang, it's been hundreds of years, no matter what kind of debt it is, after a hundred years of repayment, it should be over, right? And now you look at the attitude of the Dragon Mother, it is clear that she wants our Fierce Dragon Clan to be extinct! This is not to repay the debt, this is murder!
Uncle Cang, don't you really have any ideas?"
The weak-looking young dragon man, named Lie Wen, painstakingly admonished this older dragon man, Lie Cang, that is, Uncle Cang in their mouths.
When Lie Cang heard Lie Wen's words, he was silent, sighed, and looked at Dragon Palace City and said slowly.
"I understand what you think in your hearts, but if it weren't for our ancestors who lured the wolf into the house, how could the old dragon king be seriously injured and unconscious, and how could he attract such a terrible monster as the Hades.
It's not that I don't want to rebel, but I can't, and I can't rebel, over the years, the Burning Dragon Clan is too weak, how can it be the opponent of those strong people in Dragon Palace City, and if we don't work hard to sacrifice to the Hades, then what awaits us will be the disaster of extermination.
I believe that the Mother of Dragons is definitely not such a mediocre and ruthless person, she is probably still too sad, just wait for her to recover, endure again, endure again, and it should not be far from victory. ”
"Confused, pedantic, Brother An, you are the strongest in our area, we all respect you, listen to you, what do you say?"
When Liewen heard Liecang's words, although he understood what Liecang meant, he always felt that this kind of thing of handing over his little life to the god of death was too outrageous, so he could only look at Lie'an for help.
But Lie'an listened to the conversation of several people, but suddenly fell into deep thought, and when he heard Liewen ask him, he asked the dragons a word.
"What if, I mean, if that prophesied human appears?"
"Brother An, when is it, you are still thinking about this, still making this joke, there have been no human beings for hundreds of years! ”
Lie Zhan is a violent temper, and when he heard Lie'an's question, he immediately slapped his forehead and reminded Lie'an.
On the contrary, Liewen was a smart man, and as soon as he heard Lie'an's words, he knew that Lie'an should have something to say, so he asked Lie'an.
"Brother An, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you have seen a human being?"
"I'm not sure either, but yesterday I saw two little children, one without horns and tails, very much like the older generation said humans.
But he has a younger sister with crystal horns and crystal dragon tails that only the royal family has, so for a while, I hesitated.
Later, after they left, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I asked relatives and friends in ten miles and eight towns, and found that there were no two children at all.
Do you remember the words of the prophecy that describe the Savior, the Savior, who fell from the sky, was a man, and was accompanied by a dragon twin.
We used to think that the interpretation of this sentence should be that humans and dragonmen intermarried and gave birth to a human and a dragon twins, they are the sons of heaven and can save the dragonmen.
But after yesterday's incident, I suddenly thought, is it that we are thinking too much, and the interpretation is too complicated?
Lie An told everyone about meeting Mu Cheng and Xiao Chi yesterday, and then explained the reason for such suspicions, and everyone was stunned by his analysis.
"No way, the ancestors' interpretation can't be wrong, Lie'an, do you know what you're doing?
Lie Cang was stunned for a while, then became furious, pointed at Lie An's head and scolded.
This time, it was Lie'an's turn to be stunned, didn't he just say a hypothesis, and wasn't everyone still discussing it? Why did it suddenly become a blasphemy against the ancestors?
The other dragonmen also thought like this, but although they were a little unhappy with Liecang's words, because Liecang was the eldest of the dragons, they didn't refute him.
But Lie Zhan was not only short-tempered, but also very straightforward, and when he heard Lie Cang say this about his respected Lie'an, he couldn't help but mutter.
"Old old-fashioned... ”
Lie Cang heard Lie Zhan's muttering, glared at him, knowing that it was useless to say anything in this group of young people, he sighed a little lonely, left the team alone, and went back.
When the other dragonmen saw Liecang gone, they all looked at Lie'an, wanting Lie'an to have an idea.
"They've been through that in the older generation, so it's inevitable that they feel guilty, let him go, it's good for him and for us. ”
"Brother An, let's not talk about the prophecy first, the most important thing at the moment now is the next sacrifice, according to the number of heavenly gifts in the past, unless we add all the surplus food in our village, it is impossible to feed the Hades King.
The problem is, we have handed over all the surplus food, and the adults are hungry until they are fine, the key is that the children are growing and have to train with you, so you can't starve them. ”
Seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten the most important thing at the moment, Liewen hurriedly reminded everyone.
When Liean heard Liewen's words, he sat on the ground and was silent for a long time, just thinking quietly.
Seeing that Lie'an didn't react, the dragons thought that Lie'an, who had always been capable, couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Suddenly, in the crowd, a dragonman's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and suggested to Lie'an.
"Why don't you temporarily suspend the children's training? As long as you don't train and stay obediently, you won't consume your physical strength, and you should be able to survive by eating grass and digging bark during this time. ”
It's just that as soon as this dragon man's plan was proposed, it was vetoed by Liewen.
"No, children are our foundation and our future, and cutting off their training is like drinking water to quench thirst, which is never a long-term plan.
And this time it's like this, so what about next time? I don't think that the amount of food that God will give you next time will be enough for Hades to feast on. ”
Being analyzed by Liewen like this, all the dragons stopped talking, and the depressed and silent atmosphere made the dragons a little breathless.
At this moment, a vivid voice came up with its own idea.
"Well, can't we report what happened to the human race? Doesn't it mean that if you provide relevant clues, you can get a lot of rewards? It's more likely to break away from your identity and enter Ryugu City. ”
Once again, the human matter was brought up, only this time it was raised, and the eyes of all the dragonmen lit up, and they all looked at the timid voice.
This is a little dragon man who has just become an adult, and he is not very good at first glance, he is very thin, and he doesn't know how he got into this sacrificial team.
