Chapter 21: The Sacrifice

It was only now that I could see clearly that the sarcophagus we were hiding in was not seamless, and for some reason there were a few small openings around the coffin, and the fire outside penetrated into the coffin along these stone cracks.

As soon as I leaned down on the gap in the coffin and looked out, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the cave......

We don't know when a string of raging fires lit in the cave around the wall, the whole cave has been illuminated as bright as day, Chen Mingyu's men are holding guns and shooting wildly around, and bursts of screams that are not like human voices are coming and going in the cave......

The god of water?

The first thing that comes to my mind is the god of water. They never appeared, just to ambush Chen Mingyu. The original hunter became prey in an instant.

I haven't seen the water god appear before my eyes, but I'm sure that when they run out of bullets, it's time for the water god to fight back.

Sure enough, after just a minute or two, someone stepped back behind his companion to change*. At this moment, however, the water god passed through the web of fire intertwined with bullets and plunged into the crowd......

After a water god struck the crowd, the nearby centaurs instinctively turned their guns. In normal times, their reaction was correct, but at this moment it was a fatal mistake, and the second and third water gods jumped into the crowd one after another, breaking up the opponent's formation.

Chen Mingyu's men and horses were still shooting frantically, but it was no longer possible to form an effective firepower network, and after a while, they were completely dispersed by the water god and began to fight separately. After one bodyguard after another was pounced on by the water god, the screeching sound of teeth tearing bones followed.

After Chen Mingyu's most powerful bodyguard killed two water gods in a row, he was also thrown near the coffin by the monster that suddenly appeared behind him. Before the other party could get up, he was pounced on the coffin by a water god, and after a strange sound of sharp teeth tearing his throat, blood burst out, and the water god also raised his head in an instant, and a piece of torn flesh on the bloody teeth stopped on the edge of the coffin.

I couldn't help but tilt my head back, and my head hit the lid of the coffin, and there was a loud "bang" on the coffin.

Worst!

I immediately clenched the dagger. If this muffled sound aroused the alarm of the water god, I am afraid that a fierce battle would follow.

When I looked nervously at the crack in the coffin, a dark yellow eye was also attached to the crack of the coffin. Ye Xun and I invariably leaned towards both sides of the coffin, but I could still feel that the eye was turning left and right outside the coffin, as if looking for traces of me and Ye Xun.

When Ye Xun and I were trying to curl up and retreat to both sides of the coffin, the lid on top of our heads opened a gap, and a claw with thin scales came in from the outside of the coffin, and after shaking slightly between me and Ye Xun twice, we felt along the edge of the coffin in the direction of Ye Xun.

The water god outside must have had very poor eyesight, otherwise it would not have chosen to reach out and probe, but should have looked inside the coffin.

But even so, Ye Xun and I can't hide near the water god, and it's only a matter of time before it is touched.

As soon as I wanted to draw the knife, I saw Ye Xun, who was a little backward, gestured to me a few times, and he probably meant to tell me not to move. I could only stare at the palm of the other's hand.

A few seconds later, Ye Xun reached the point where he could not retreat, and the raised claws of the water god almost touched the tip of Ye Xun's nose. The latter twisted his body into a strange posture at the moment when the water god raised his claws, and he actually lowered his head by sticking to the coffin, and the water god's claws almost touched the coffin board against Ye Xun's hair.

Ye Xun has either practiced jiu or bone shrinking, and a normal person's body will definitely not reach this level of flexibility.

Before I could be surprised, the water god turned his claws and touched in my direction.

Worst!

It's impossible for me to twist my body in a limited space like Ye Xun, and when the water god touches me, I have no second way to go except for the knife.

I grabbed the dagger and slowly lifted it, pointing the tip of the knife at the gap in the coffin. I knew that cutting the water god's claws with a knife would not do anything, and that only by stabbing it in the eye while it turned back could I inflict a heavy blow on the water god.

Just as I was about to make a move, there was a loud bang on the lid of the coffin, as if something heavy had hit the top of the coffin, and the arm of the water god was also caught alive on the edge of the coffin.

Before I could figure out what was going on outside, the water god withdrew his arm after a scream, and the fire once again penetrated through the gap that had been blocked by the water god. It seems that the other party should be chasing and killing the opponent who fell on the coffin just now.

I immediately leaned over to the coffin and looked back at the cave. I saw that the figures near the coffin began to become fewer and fewer, and the screams outside began to gradually subside, and I couldn't help but feel anxious: "Ye Xun, I want to go out, I can't let Chen Mingyu die." ”

Chen Mingyu can only be caught but not killed now, it is a cunning old Jianghu, I can think of things, he even thinks more than I think. If I can't catch Chen Mingyu, my classmates may be torn up by his men, and I can't bet that Chen Mingyu didn't make any arrangements.

"Don't move!" Ye Xun seemed to see what I meant, and said in a low voice, "Take a closer look, the people outside are not all dead. ”

When I changed my position and looked out, I saw that some people were not killed although they were captured by the water god, but knelt not far from the coffin, and Chen Mingyu was pressed by a snake-shaped water god.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, my heart couldn't help but lift up again - according to Chen Mingyu's water god, it was obvious that it couldn't withstand the bloody stimulation, and tentatively poked its head to Chen Mingyu's side, and the nearly foot-long snake letter slowly spit out from the side of its mouth, like two trembling silk threads swept towards the side of Chen Mingyu's neck.

Rao is a big man like Chen Mingyu, and under the stimulation of the snake letter, he couldn't help curling up like a quail in the wind and trembling for a while. But the water god did not stop because of Chen Mingyu's fear, but instead put it next to his ear and opened a snake kiss with fangs exposed.

I pulled out the dagger and was about to push the lid of the coffin, but Ye Xun rushed over and pressed my palm tightly.

I was just about to speak, but there were a few roars outside. When I looked out along the crack of the coffin, the water god had already let go of Chen Mingyu and stood beside Chen Mingyu tremblingly.

Simian!

I remember that voice! Isn't that the ape that lost a leg in the villa?

The beast's revenge psychology is extremely strong, the ape lost a leg, but prevented his companion from killing Chen Mingyu, is he ready to take revenge with his own hands, or does he have other intentions?

I didn't know why when the last scream in the cave went down. From the sound, I could probably tell that there were no living people in the cave other than the few people kneeling on the ground.

The next moment, a large number of water gods gathered around the coffin, and I was immediately shocked.

Could it be that they are going to open the coffin? If that is the case, Ye Xun and I will not even have the slightest ability to resist. I subconsciously stretched out my hand to the fox bell in my pocket, but Ye Xun stabbed me twice with his hand, meaning to let me wait and see what happened.

I understood what he meant, but I couldn't help but hold the foxbell tightly in my hand.

The water gods outside gathered about a meter away from the coffin, and they all knelt down and bowed to the coffin.

When the ape's voice came again, it was no longer a roar like just now, but a rhythmic low whistle, especially the end of the whistling sound, which could even drag on for three or four seconds.

As I put my ear to the coffin to hear what the other man was doing, the coffin we were hiding in moved in the direction of the altar again, only at a much faster speed than before.

Is the god of water sacrificial?

These water gods are a tribe that lives in caves, they have their own territory, and they have their own gods to worship? The ape is not only the leader of the water god, but also the equivalent of the sorcerer of the tribe, who presides over the rituals of sacrifice?

No sooner had this absurd idea popped into my head than I felt the coffin tilt upwards violently—the god of water had indeed brought the coffin to the altar and placed it in the center of the altar.

After a few moments, I felt the coffin sink sharply, and the sound of the rock rubbing against the outer wall of the coffin suddenly started. I could clearly feel that the coffin was sinking inch by inch into the center of the altar, and a stream of cold water was pouring out of the bottom of the coffin.

Only then did I notice that there were two rows of round holes under the coffin that passed through the water, and it was from there that cold water poured into the coffin.

What I thought of was that as long as the coffin sank to the same position as the altar floor, the inside of the coffin would be filled with water, and Ye Xun and I would have to drown in the coffin.

From the moment the coffin sank, all the water gods let out a roar like a cheer, and the ape's voice was exactly at the end of the coffin, and the sacrificial ceremony should have officially begun.

"Let's do it!" When I pulled out my dagger and looked at Ye Xun, the latter nodded slightly, took out a sheathed Miao knife from the guitar case and held it in his hand, turned around and lay down in the coffin full of cold water, supported the coffin lid with his feet and said, "Get ready." ”

As soon as Ye Xun's voice fell, his feet suddenly exerted force, and directly kicked the lid of the coffin, which weighed hundreds of pounds, from the coffin. The moment the coffin lid pressed against the edge of the coffin head and stood up in mid-air, Ye Xun and I stood up at the same time and jumped out of the coffin together.

No one expected that there were still two people in the coffin, and it wasn't until we jumped out of the coffin that the ape kneeling on the ground looked up at Ye Xun in shock.

At the same time, Ye Xun pulled out the knife from its sheath, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and slashed down at the ape's neck.

Although the Miao Knife is named because of its long and narrow blade, it is extremely powerful in close combat. After Ye Xun slashed down, the blade swept across the ape's neck, and the opponent's head fell to the ground on the spot, and the blood in the cavity instantly sprayed into the air. The ape's head rolled down under the altar, and below it were dozens of bloodied water gods......
