Chapter 168: Reduced to a sacrifice
"That being said, this is an inevitable crisis that must be prepared in advance???. β No? Otherwise, our clan has gone out with a heart, but it is facing the disaster of annihilation, how can we be willing. Rio knew that what Xi said was reasonable, but he still remembered it in his heart.
As a leader, you must be responsible for the future of the whole clan. This is a responsibility that Rio must assume.
"Now that you see it, whatever you want to take with you, whatever you want."
Xi Yan no longer shirked and began to collect treasures wildly.
She only has a two-foot square space storage bag on her body. The things that are loaded are limited, Xi Yan looks at this and wants it, and that also wants it. Hesitating about what to take with him.
Rio asked, "Don't have a place to bring?" That's why he let her take it with her.
"Who said that, I'm just hesitating which one to bring." Xi retorted.
"It's all about the same, it's the same with each one. You can look at whatever you like, and put it away. β
Xi understood that a choice had to be made. No matter how greedy you are, you have no place to put it, so you can only choose some of them to take away.
Rio's eyes widened in surprise as he watched Xi pick up one item after another. These things are of little value to him, but Xi Yan's actions have attracted his attention.
To be able to take so many things away, there must be a place to store them. That's what Rio is concerned about.
"Where did you put all your stuff? So much, how can I not see it at all. β
"Uh, don't you know, there's a thing in this world called a space storage bag?" Xi Yan said, the movements in her hands did not stop, looking at the beautiful pearls, corals, and glasses all in her pockets.
"And something so magical?" The first time I heard about it in Rio, it was terrifying. It's been a long day to see.
"Of course, otherwise I'll leave things somewhere."
Finally, the storage bag was full, and what was taken away was only the tip of the iceberg, so many sparkling treasures in colorful colors. Nothing seems to have changed. Only Xi Yan knew that her storage bag was very full.
"Can you show me?" Rio was intrigued and couldn't wait to see the magical storage bag right away. This thing is really a treasure, and it has so many things. I can't even see it at all.
"That's the one I have on my waist." Xi Yan said, her storage bag has always been hung on her waist as a decoration. When ordinary people see it, they will only use it as an ornament.
Rio stared at it for a while, not seeing anything famous.
"Is this thing really that amazing?" Rio is unconvinced. It looks like a cloth bag, and it will be so magically useful.
Xi Yan said impatiently: "Of course, why should I lie to you." When you have this thing, you will naturally understand. You can't see anything outside, only you can see inside. Chinese NoβNet?-.ββ'.-c-o-m-"
"It's amazing, where can I get it?" Rio asked.
"You'd better get out of here first, as long as there is money in the outside world, anything can be exchanged. The things you have here are all treasures, and you will definitely be able to exchange a huge sum of money in the future, which will be enough for your people. β
"yes. The treasure is of no use here, only finding a way out is the most important thing. Still, you reminded me that I need to keep these treasures safe, and they will be of great use in the future. β
"Of course, you have to keep it, you can't be so extravagant. It's me who came in today, if it's someone else, can you guarantee that he won't find a way to come in and take these treasures when he goes out? β
"You're right."
"Okay, can we leave?" Xi asked. With so many treasures, she was greedy when she saw them. But I can't take it away, it's too heartbroken, so I'd better leave early, out of sight.
"Wait. We're going to a place again. β
"Is that what you offered?" Xi Yan finally remembered that she agreed to other people's conditions, and she didn't take things for nothing.
"Well, follow me." Rio led the way, and Xi Yan followed.
Still walking at the bottom of the sea, the treasures around him continue to pass through. Xi tried her best to control zhì and not let herself reach for it. Walking through here is really too much of a test.
No one can look at the treasure in front of him without being moved. Of course, Xi Yan is no exception, especially after experiencing the dilemma of having no money, this kind of thinking is even stronger.
My heart was beating faster and faster, and my eyes were looking around uncontrollably. Xi told herself, calm down, you must be calm, you have taken so many treasures, there is really no place to put them.
Just when Xi Yan was about to lose her support, Rio finally stopped.
It was an arched golden glazed door, shining with golden light, and Rio stood outside for a while, as if he had made up his mind, before he said, "This is it, let's go in." β
Xi Yan took a closer look at the golden arched door, which was carved with intricate patterns, as if it was familiar.
Rio didn't know what he was doing in front of the door, and the golden door slowly opened.
Inside is a long surge. Seeing inside, Xi Yan was very surprised. Because, there is no sea water inside the golden gate, Rio has transformed into a human form and walked in. And when she entered, the transparent cover around her disappeared.
Looking back, Xi Yan asked, "Why can't the sea water come in?" β
"Since water beads can block water, of course there are other ways to block it. There is a spell to block the water. β
"Oh, what the hell am I doing to keep all the water out of the sea." Xi said.
Today is really an eye-opener, there are so many treasures, I almost dazzled. ββ.Chinese In the sea, surrounded by water, there can still be such a special space.
Follow Rio along the golden corridor, walk zigzag for a while, and come to a large hall.
The main hall is large in space, arranged in a circular layout, supported by six huge pillars. There are six passages leading to different directions. They had just walked in through the golden passage.
Rio said cautiously: "Follow me, don't walk around, there are several passages here, you can't enter casually, and no one knows what's inside." β
There was such a magnificent and huge hall at the bottom of the sea, Xi Yan's eyes couldn't help but look around. Six passages, different colors, but she is still present, all cast in different colors of glass. Secretly staggering, really extravagant.
Why did the original divine forbidden spell imprison them here? In the face of such a treasure, but not being able to use it, is also torturous. So much so that to this day, these treasures are no different from an ordinary stone in their eyes.
Rio walked towards the black passage, which surprised Xi Yan.
Judging by the color of these passages, she felt that black was the most dangerous one. But since Rio walked in, she could only follow obediently.
"Rio. Where does this passage lead? β
"You'll know when you get there."
If I knew that this was the answer, I wouldn't have asked. Xi Yan secretly slandered herself, Rio has stopped talking since he entered here. The smile on his face disappeared, and the whole person became very strict.
Twists and turns. Finally came to an end. On both sides of the black passage, there is a pearl at every other interval, scattering a soft white light, illuminating the passage.
Black arched doors prevented them from proceeding.
This time, Rio didn't open the door directly. Instead, he asked, "Are you really willing to go in?" β
"Of course, since I promised you, I will definitely keep my promise." Xi replied.
"No, I mean, the person who enters it must be willing, otherwise it cannot enter. The reason why I put forward conditions with you is so that you and I can get here, and you have to decide whether to go in or not. Rio explained.
It turned out that his conditions would be fulfilled as long as he walked here.
Looking at the black arched door, Xi Yan was a little reluctant. What's inside, he doesn't say. She had no way of guessing.
"What's inside?" Xi Yan still asked.
Looking at Xi Yan's serious eyes, Rio said: "Sacrificial platform." β
"What?" Xi Yan was taken aback. As soon as she heard about the sacrifice, she had a bad premonition. Often related to sacrifices, there are sacrifices. Could it be that what is needed here is a willing sacrifice, and she is one of them?
Rio said: "You heard it right, this is the altar. As I said, our people have been waiting for the opportunity to open the door to the outside world. β
"What does this have to do with me?" Xi Yan asked with difficulty, and she already knew it in her heart. Could it be that she is destined to be here, there is already an arrangement in the dark.
Rio looked at Xi Yan with complicated eyes. From the moment he saw her, he knew it. The opportunity has come. However, he chose to deceive.
The White Spirit Sacred Dolphin Clan has been imprisoned for too long, this opportunity is really rare, and she may be the only chance. Between Xi and the ethnic group. Rio made its choice.
Rio must never forget its mission. Even if Xi is innocent, he still has to make such a choice.
Xi Yan understood that at this moment, she had no way out. This is Whitsunday Island, and Rio is in control. There is simply no right for her to refuse. But she still asked.
"What happens if I don't agree?"
"The outcome won't change, it's just that willingness will make you suffer less," Rio said. β
At this moment, Xi Yan deeply realized that she believed in the bitter fruits brought by people.
However, when she broke in, YiqiΔ was already doomed.
The anger in her heart was only for a moment, and Xi Yan quickly calmed down. Since coming to the island, she has never seen the islanders fight, and she also regards them as a kind and weak race.
At this point, she no longer trusted her own judgment. This race must have unknown means, and her power alone is too small.
The scimitar was about to move, and Xi Yan struck a blow at Rio's front door.
In an instant, I saw that Rio just raised his hand, and the blow was instantly dissolved.
That kind of degree made Xi Yan's heart sink to the bottom. Sure enough, appearances are deceiving.
Just one trick has already explained a qiΔ. Rio's cultivation was far above her, and in front of him, she didn't have the slightest power to resist.
This leader, who has always been smiling, turns out to hide such a true side. Rio is still the first time he saw him, but his eyes have changed, and the temperament around him is no longer friendly and kind when he first met.
Knowing that her resistance was fruitless, Xi Yan stopped.
"Let's go inside." Rio said indifferently.
She didn't say anything, and no words could express the despair and desolation in her heart at this moment. Xi Yan thought, is every qiΔ on the island fake? So cute and cute, isn't there no zΓ i. A qiΔ just deceives her on the surface and immerses her in it.
The black arched door slowly opened, revealing a panoramic view of the inside.
The black circular altar is carved with intricate patterns, and the surrounding area is surrounded by black reliefs, which is lifelike.
At this time, Xi Yan even clearly saw that those reliefs had the appearance of a white dolphin, but they were different from them. The most striking thing is the statue in the center of the altar.
Something that has never been seen before, it seems to be inhuman. It has the appearance of a human form, but the head and limbs are completely different. His eyes were about to split, and his mouth was wide open, as if he was roaring at the sky.
This statue is a complete monster in Xi Yan's eyes.
Rio, however, bowed down to it and touched the ground with his forehead reverently.
This is the god who imprisons them? Xi Yan thought to herself.
Sure enough, I heard Rio say, "Noble deity, your sacrifice has been brought, please enjoy it to your heart's content." β
Nothing has changed on the altar.
Rio came to Xi Yan's side, and it is self-evident what will happen next.
"There's no other outsiders out there at all, right?"
Rio nodded, "All outsiders are the hope of our people's salvation, how can they leave." β
"The sacrifice must be from an outsider, not from your people?"
Rio shook his head, "No, it took generations for my people to find a way to redeem and build this altar. As long as the sacrifice is suitable, the confinement can be lifted. You are not the first, and it is possible that you will not be the last. β
Before walking to the altar, the question in Xi Yan's heart found the answer. But the heavier her heart became.
It was this altar, which had been soaked in the blood of many people, but it had never ended the forbidden spell of the gods. As for her, will she be the last? And even if it is, what's the point?
Every qiΔ on the island of the Holy Spirit is an illusion, and no one is worthy of her sacrifice. She was fooled like a fool by them and ended up here.
"Why don't you just bring me here?"
"You're the only one who's been in 10 years, cut off from the outside world for 10 years, and we want to see how people out there live and how they're different from us," Rio said. β
Getting such an answer, Xi Yan was furious, and she was really the object of teasing and was watched as a joke. How the hell did she get into such a predicament?
From the very beginning, there was no doubt. Such innocent cuteness made her vigilance completely disappear, and the environment she was alone in at that time were all factors that caused today's result.
Until this moment, Xi Yan didn't understand how she came here when she was floating on the sea.
"Do you know how I got in?" Xi Yan wanted to figure out the last question in her mind.
Rio shook his head, "I don't know anything about this. The Whitsunday Island is completely cut off from the outside world and knows nothing about what is going on outside. We only know that you are in, but we really don't know how. β
"What about Meng Bai, is she really a child?"
That cute little girl, Xi Yan didn't want to believe it in her heart, she really didn't have zΓ i.
"Does it still make sense to say any more?" Rio does not answer rhetorical questions. (To be continued.) )
