Those villagers outside didn't seem to have any combat power, Ye Li used the Yuan Shen to probe, even if a few of them had a little mana, they were not a threat to Ye Li, at most they were low-level strength around the Psychic Realm.

Ye Li glanced at that gentleman, he was also a smart man, and now he rushed in, it was not Ye Li who was in trouble, but this gentleman who was doing something behind his back.

"I'm fine, you all go back. Those two outsiders have been persuaded by me to leave, you all go, it's okay. ”

"Sir, are you really alright? The bear said that there were outsiders, and it scared us to death. You open the door and we'll see. ”

The gentleman snapped open the door, but he blocked the door and waved his hand: "What's so beautiful." Don't you guys have nothing to do? If you have nothing to do, come with me to the Great Elder. Those two outsiders weren't bad guys, and as soon as I said they left on their own. You don't have to be too nervous. ”

One of the strongest youths tried to look into the room, but was pushed away by the gentleman.

"But sir, didn't you say that the people outside are the same as that demon beast, how can they ......?"

"Don't you even listen to what I'm saying now? Hurry up, don't bother me repairing the stacks. If you don't leave, I'll go find the Great Elder!"

"Don't, don't, we'll leave. ”

The villagers turned around and left one after another, and Ye Li felt strange. One is that they seem to be very afraid of the Great Elder in their own village. Even if you have the power of life and death, you won't let others be so afraid, right? Could it be that you will casually sentence others to death.

The second point is that the look in their eyes before they left seemed to be a little reluctant? What kind of reason is this? I didn't hear that they were very afraid of outsiders, but why did Ye Li feel that they seemed to be waiting for outsiders to come in.

It's like ...... A group of suffering people, waiting for a savior.

Ye Li glanced at Crack, Crack has always been very smart, and his IQ is even above Ye Li, it is impossible for him not to see it.

"Ye Li, this village is so strange. I'm obviously afraid of outsiders, why do I feel like they're waiting for us? ”

Ye Li nodded: "I feel the same way." It seems necessary for us to meet the Great Elder for a moment. ”

Mr. heard Ye Li's conversation with them, and after driving away the villagers, he hurriedly made a shushing gesture: "Two big brothers, you really hurry up." The village doesn't like outsiders. Moreover, do not challenge the authority of the Great Elder, you will die an ugly death. There were quite a few cultivators who also wanted to challenge the Great Elder, but all of them were killed. ”

"Oh, there are other cultivators?"

The gentleman nodded, then found a volume in a pile of books and handed it to Ye Li: "Two eldest brothers, this is the history of our Great Elder, you can see for yourself." You said that we are destined, and since we are destined, I don't want to see the two of us go to death like this. Let's look for a chance to go, don't show up. ”

Ye Li and Split looked at the scroll in their hands at the same time, and gasped in unison.

"Good fellow, what the hell is this monster?"

The first page of the book is a monster. Could this be the so-called Great Elder? Ye Li didn't know how to describe it, this monster's head was very huge. Green, purple blood vessels can be clearly seen on it, and the crumpled scalp is tangled. At the very front of the head are two slender strips, which should be eyes.

The mouth and nose are very small, and the body below is also very small, and the overall height is only about 1.5 meters, and the head accounts for more than half.

"Is this a human being? This is your Great Elder, and he doesn't look like you villagers. ”

The gentleman took out a cigarette pouch and pot, lit it, and smoked it to himself: "Whew, two, keep reading and you will know." There's a reason why all of us are afraid of the Great Elders. ”

Ye was puzzled and continued to look at it.

This scroll is like a comic book, first the Great Elder descended to this village, and then there is a picture of him fighting monsters, some spiders, big bugs, and big snakes want to attack the village, but they are all expelled and killed by the Great Elder.

It is precisely because of this that the Great Elder is loved by the villagers. The demon beast didn't know where it came from, it would attack once a year at a fixed time, but before the Great Elder could make a move, he would immediately devour about ten villagers.

"Isn't this just a sacrifice? what's the difference between this behavior and those demon beasts? You're going to let him be so arrogant?"

"There's no way, the demon beasts will eat us too, and in the end our entire village will perish. With the Great Elders, we only need to sacrifice ten people a year to save everyone. So ......"

Ye Li continued to look through it, but suddenly found a piece of information.

"Wait, tomorrow seems to be the day of sacrifice. In other words, the day after tomorrow, the demon beast is coming?"

"Yes, every year is the biggest thing in our village. When the time comes, you two want to leave, but you can't leave. I thought he was the only gentleman in the village, so I could promise that I wouldn't be on the list of sacrifices. And...... Little girl, this is the only way I can save her life. ”

That woman with a problem with her head, this gentleman would have such a good heart? But Ye Li judged for himself that there was a high probability that he should have said so. All the villagers outside will be on the sacrifice list, but he, as the only gentleman in the village, is eligible to protect people.

"This Great Elder isn't from your village, is he?"

"No, he came suddenly during a monster invasion. Later, because he was very strong and protected our village, even if he looked a little scary, the villagers still respected him very much. It's only in recent years...... The Elder's temper became more and more irritable. ”

This gentleman's words box opened, and he couldn't hold it back for a while, and pulled Ye Li and split to say a lot. It is nothing more than complaining about the atrocities of the Great Elder.

"Many of the villagers' dolls were later selected by him, and we couldn't do anything about it. Later, I don't know who heard that in the outside world, there are not only monsters, but also saviors, as long as they are outsiders, they can save us. ”

Ye Li sighed to himself, no wonder I heard that there were outsiders just now, and they all wanted to see it, it turned out that they pinned their hopes on the people outside.

The so-called xenophobia is a deliberately created atmosphere.

"So, you two, I don't think you're bad people, so I'm kind enough to remind you. Great Elder, he is a servant of the gods, a savior, and his strength is still very strong, you are definitely not an opponent. ”

Ye Li and Split showed a weird smile at the same time: "Whether it is a savior or not, you will only understand after the fight." Isn't it a demon beast, I'm afraid I have seen more demon beasts than you know. Okay, we don't need you to show the way, you just need to tell us, and we'll meet ourselves. ”

This gentleman is not a too bad person now, so Ye Li will not affect him.

The old gentleman still refused to say anything, and in desperation, Ye Li had no choice but to go out with him to find it.

"Don't worry, you don't know anything, no one has seen it. We don't know you either, and we won't tell your secrets. ”

The old gentleman bowed gratefully: "Thank you both." ”

The village is not very large, but it is also within the reach of several large mountains. The back mountain, where all the villagers went before, has a large area of farmland, which is presumably to be labored.

And the buildings of the whole village are almost the same, and it is impossible to tell the difference.

There was no one on the street, and Ye Li and Crack did not deliberately disguise it, anyway, the power of the Yuan Shen could sense whether there would be people approaching around him, and it would be too late to hide it when the time came.

It's a pity that Ye Li didn't find them all day. And before the day dawned, torches were lit in the distance. Ye Li patted his brain: "Damn, we seem to be stupid." Tomorrow is the date of the sacrifice, and he will come out whatever he says. ”

He was stunned for a moment, obviously he was also too anxious, he didn't expect this, and the two laughed awkwardly.

"I have an idea. Crack, do you think it's feasible?"

"I think so. ”

Before Ye Li could say a specific plan, he had already guessed it. If you want to see the Great Elder, you don't have to work so hard at all. As long as the two of them disguised themselves as two of the ten villagers, wouldn't they be able to easily blend in? Besides, this list of sacrifices is simply random, and when the time comes, Ye Li and Split disguised themselves and volunteered, wouldn't it be good?

Thinking of this, Ye Li and Split hid their bodies and approached the position of the torch.

It didn't take long for the two to come to the middle of a farmland. Each family has its own place, some are a family of three, some are several families, the elderly, children, women, men, all gathered together.

The faces of the villagers were full of tiredness and sadness. This day is the most dangerous day of the year. If you get through it safely, the next year will be disaster-free.

But everyone has the same idea, these ten people are to be selected after all, for the whole village.

Ye Li came to the periphery of the crowd, picked out two guys who looked like they were single, tied them up and threw them to the side, and he incarnated into their appearance, entered the crowd, kept moving, and came to the front.

At the front of the crowd, there was a platform, around which flames had been lit, and the steps went up step by step, and in the middle was the old gentleman.

First read a paragraph, what to thank the Great Elder, thank the gods, subdue demons and eliminate demons, etc., and then closed the book, Mr. glanced at it, and it happened to be on Ye Li and Split's body, frowning, as if he saw something.

This old guy is not as simple as it seems.

At this moment, all of a sudden, the ground began to shake, and then behind the altar, a huge cave with rubble flying. What caught my eye was a huge head, and then the Great Elder finally appeared.

All the villagers knelt down to worship, and they didn't want to do this, but they were forcibly pulled by Ye Li, and the two squatted in the middle of the crowd.

"Bear with me, we'll clean up this guy when we get in. ”

"Hmph, and let him be arrogant for a while. What bullshit gods, Lao Tzu tore him with his hands. ”

The Great Elder was exactly like the one in the picture, but he looked older. The green head, with its well-veined blood vessels, could see blood flowing.

I don't know if my eyes are closed or open, and I can't see clearly at all.

The gentleman knelt at the front and shouted, "Welcome to the arrival of the Great Elder!" We and the people are ready, just waiting for the Great Elder to choose, and there will be no complaints. ”

The Great Elder didn't speak, his body moved to the altar, he glanced at it, and suddenly there was a roar of rage! Then a thunderbolt struck down right in front of the gentleman.

The old gentleman's face turned pale with fright in an instant, and he didn't dare to move.
