This is home to the Cult of the Evil Moon, a sect born on the edge of civilization and spreading among the wild tribes.

About a thousand years ago, some ancient shamans communicated with a strange being by chance through some way, hungry and fierce, dark and powerful, longing for flesh and soul.

This being is not a true god, but it has immense power, and it can be bestowed through a series of sacrifices.

When the first shaman called out its name, this evil sect was born.

In this way, relying on the sacrifice full of blood and savagery, the Cult of the Evil Moon began to be established covertly, and at first it was only circulated among the wild tribes, and even then it did not have its current name.

It can be said that in the eyes of the original shamans, this is the same as the primitive nature worship and totemic beliefs, and the worship of the spirits of nature and ancestors.

Through sacrifices, they can connect to the vast spirits of the Ancient Abomination and thus gain the power bestowed by the Evil Moon, which is a bit like the divine magic that the priests receive from the gods, at the cost of being affected by the madness of the Evil Moon themselves.

However, through sacrifices, gaining power and creating powerful shamans and warriors is a way for the barbarian tribe to survive......

History rolls forward, those primitive and bloody tribes were finally crushed by civilization, but this sect did not disappear, but with the dark power obtained by the sacrifice to the evil moon, it grew in the corners of human civilization, just like other inexhaustible cults.

For a long time, at least a thousand years, due to its loose structure and the continuous attacks of the Church of the Gods, it has never made any great waves, but it has clinged to the strong body of human civilization like a flea, filling its empty belly with the blood it has sucked.

But that changed about 300 years ago.

A group of powerful people, or rather, creatures, found them.

And, conquered them with a near-homogeneous and more powerful dark force.

After that moment, the originally scattered Cultists of the Moon reunited, convened an unprecedented meeting, and for the first time elected the first High Priest in the form of divination, and formulated a relatively strict doctrine, dividing the seven dioceses, and determining the responsibilities and powers of the Cultists, as well as the future purpose of the Sect.

At that meeting, the High Priest of the Evil Moon proposed the concept of the "Black Moon Descending" and called on all believers to work towards this divine future.

And here, it is the No. 1 diocese of the Evil Moon Cult, and it is also the place called the holy place by the cultists, Black Moon Town, which is the spiritual home of all the Evil Moon Cultists.

It is built at the foot of the hill and is naturally divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

Here, the gray stones are built into different houses, some hollowed out in one piece, close to ten meters, and some so short that they seem to be enough for a normal human to touch the roof while standing.

These buildings are arranged in a compact manner and spread out.

It was a place where people were ghosts, and if an outsider were to make it through the fog to this town, he would think he was going to hell, because the lintels and windowsills of every house were decorated with human bones, especially the spine and head.

Everyone's mind is distorted by some kind of being, where even a little girl of a few years old can turn her gaze towards strangers to cruelty and greed.

At this time, in the core area of Black Moon Town, there was a hall that existed in the belly of the mountain.

The enclosed hall was illuminated by six massive pillars of fire, the dark green flames enveloping everything in a grim curtain, and the cold rock walls were carved with twisted inscriptions.

An evil altar was surrounded by pillars of fire, and under each pillar stood a figure, except for the place under one pillar of fire.

The altar was shaped like a randomly split stone slab, the gray surface was as cold as death, its surface was large enough to hold several people, the sides were more than half a meter thick and carved with forbidden motifs, full of slaughter and sacrifice, dark prayers embedded in the stone tablets with teeth and bones, each stained with purple-black dried blood.

On the surface of the altar lay a sturdy man with a sturdy figure lying on his back, his limbs deeply sliced, and thick blood flowing into every deep groove and crevice.

"The sacrifice is about to begin. ”

"Theresa hasn't come yet. ”

A disgruntled voice came from under a pillar of fire, and a figure in a black robe and a pure black peaked soft hat spoke up.

"Black Snake, don't be in a hurry. ”

"The time has not yet come. ”

A shrill female voice floated over from the erratic translucent body under another pillar of fire.

"Mora, this is a sacred sacrifice to our Lord!"

"I can't afford anything to go wrong!"

The black-robed figure cast an angry gaze at the pillar of fire where Mora was.

"Definitely. ”

"The time for the sacrifice is coming soon. ”

"There's no reason for five people to wait for one!"

The body that speaks is unusually tall, with a height of more than three meters, his eyebrows and eyes are very tough, he has no hair, his upper body is covered with a cuticle that protects vital points, his skin is slightly dark blue, and there are naturally formed tattoo-like patterns, and his lower body has keratinized parts like a battle skirt to protect vital parts.

"Black Snake, Alain, I've arrived as fast as I can. ”

"You know. ”

"The Mage Federation's constant movements with me have restrained a lot of my energy. ”

At this moment, under the empty pillar of fire, a hideous insect the size of countless fingers crawled out and quickly formed a terrifying humanoid silhouette.

Immediately, an evil will descended.

With the spread of the corrupting power, the monster composed of countless insects suddenly came to life, and a pair of dark red eyes looked at the location of the black snake.

"You're late. ”

Black Serpent responded with an angry gaze to Theresa's gaze, if it was a flame, it would be enough to burn the other into a cloud of ashes.

"If my memory is correct, the sacrifice should be about ten minutes away.

With a hissing sound, the body was made up of insects, and there was only one humanoid Theresa, said lightly.

"Humph!"

After staring at Teresa for about ten seconds, Black Snake withdrew his gaze and did not make any further comments on this matter, but clapped his hands and said in a solemn tone:

"Now that everyone has come, I declare it as the High Priest. ”

"The sacrifice begins, the consecration for our Lord and our God!"

Everyone lowered their heads in silence, and the next moment, the black snake's lips moved slightly, and let out a small whisper, and at the same time, the surrounding rock walls began to ooze dark red viscous turbidity, as if the echo of thousands of people's cries and hiss was intertwined with his whispers, turning into a kind of maddening murmur.

In the midst of this reverberation, the stone slabs on the surface of the altar shook more and more violently, and emitted heat, and all the prayers and patterns burst into a faint light, and the blood in the body of the man who was apparently a sacrifice began to ooze out at an accelerated rate.

Suddenly, the black snake stopped chanting, and silence took over the hall for a moment, broken only by the sound of blood gurgling.
