Chapter 334: Making a Mess at the Altar
The sky was getting brighter, and the mist was like veil. Vertices
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
She found herself being held in the arms of a tall man in black, shuttling through the cornices of Decameron. The man's posture was lithe, and he was holding Pregnant Qiao in his arms, and he was not even noticed by the demigod soldiers patrolling around.
His face was hidden in the hood, and she couldn't see his face clearly. But his bare skin was covered with blue tattoos. If she was not mistaken, this person was the one from the Golden Crow who had been following her. Was he who had stunned himself and rescued himself from the dungeon of the General's Palace? Why did he save himself?
Pregnant Qiao silently pressed the half-moon scimitar against the person's throat and said softly, "Let go of me!"
The man in black hooked his lips and said, "Little girl, I rescued you from that dungeon, you don't know how to be grateful, how can you repay your revenge?"
"I don't know you, and I don't need your help!"
The man in black kept walking at his feet, and chuckled, "Oh, is that really the case?
Pregnant Joe was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
If you want to leave the Realm of Flowing Fire and go to the next level of Infernal Hell, you have to climb over the 100,000 mountains and arrive at the country of Fuso in Yigu, where it is rumored that there is a portal to the Otherworld, guarded by the Jinwu people. She was indeed very interested in this man in black, because he was from the Golden Crow tribe, and maybe he knew how to cross the 100,000 mountains!
It's just that Pregnant Qiao was a little jealous of the man in black in front of him, he was agile, his exercises were unfathomable, and he was ruthless. When he was in the Savage Valley, he was targeted by this person, and he couldn't get rid of it! Could it be that he also came for the treasure map?
A breeze blew, lifting the hood from the man in black, revealing one of his faces. The facial features were upright, and it was also covered with tattoos, and to Pregnant Qiao's surprise, his eyes were pale golden, full of evil feelings.
The man in black lowered his head and glanced at Pregnant Qiao, and said with a gloomy face: "Do you know...... What happened to the people who saw me before?"
Pregnant Qiao rolled her eyes in her heart and muttered in a low voice, "It's not what I want to see......"
The man in black smiled evilly and said, "However, I won't kill you, it's still useful to keep you! I'm the seal of the Golden Crow clan, little girl, what's your name?"
Pregnant Qiao ignored what Feng said, and brought the half-moon scimitar in his hand closer, and a drop of red blood dripped down Feng's neck.
"You are so righteous to the little girl of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion who only has one side, and you even risk your life to rob the Dharma field to save her! Why are you so indifferent to your life-saving benefactor?"
Why, it's not because you're a cold-blooded executioner!
"Oh, maybe it's because of that. Just that night...... If I hadn't killed that person surnamed Hu in front of you, how could you go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to find Hongyu? What's more, that person didn't die either. โ
Her eyes widened in astonishment, and she said, "It turned out to be you...... We've all fallen for the tricks of you, a thief, and you planned it all to get that treasure map!"
The man in black raised his eyebrows and said, "You really didn't disappoint me, you got the two treasure maps." โ
"You're dreaming! I'm not going to give you a treasure map!"
The man in black snorted lightly and said, "It's up to you. โ
Pregnant Qiao's heart was a little apprehensive, the hand holding the half-moon scimitar tightened and tightened, the man in black had no defense against himself, did he believe that he would not kill him with one sword!
"Put down the knife in your hand, you can't do it! We're here, and the show is about to begin......"
On the horizon, a touch of morning glow opened the red curtain. Not far away, in front of the city gate tower, a high altar was erected, in front of the altar crowded, drums and music were noisy, and the sacrificial ceremony of the Decameron City had begun.
Pregnant Jo and the man in black hid in the crowd and looked up at the altar. I saw a high priest dressed in red and wearing a mask reciting the sacrificial words aloud.
"Ten days together, the sky is chaotic, the husband is galloping, and the people are gone. The righteousness of sacrifice is to follow the sages and cook and kill live animals to pray for protection from the calamities of the sun and the moon......"
Accompanied by the sound of drums, hundreds of demigod dancers holding pheasants and yuรจ (้พ ) dance on the altar, their expressions solemn and uniform.
General Gafeng, with short red hair and a dark robe, sat on the viewing platform and watched the sacrificial ceremony. Looking from afar, I saw that his face was full of anger and his face was gloomy and terrifying. Pregnant Jo quickly withdrew her gaze and searched carefully through the crowd. She searched for a long time, but did not see a familiar figure.
Wrap your arms around your chest and stand at her side. He glanced at Pregnant Qiao and said, "What are you looking for?"
Pregnant Joe didn't say anything, but continued to look in the crowd.
A giant beast with bound limbs was carried up to the altar, and the high priest on the altar, armed with an obsidian dagger, thrust through the beast's ribs, broke open its chest, pulled out a beating heart, and lifted it high above its head.
The beast didn't even let out a wail, and it died.
The High Priest threw the heart in his hand into the air, and the heart turned into a red flame and slowly burned.
The high priest said in his mouth: "Dedicated to the noble sun god, one sacrifice to the rivers, lakes and seas, pray for good wind and rain, and the other sacrifice to the mountains, rivers and earth, pray for a good harvest of grains......
The crowd under the altar began to agitate, and they all raised their arms and shouted, "Long live the sun god!"
With a shout, a huge bronze horse was carried onto the altar. It was not yet noon, and the fire poison was not so powerful, so the high priest ordered a fire to be erected under the bronze horse.
The altar burst into flames, and the bronze horse seemed to come to life under the light of the fire, and it opened a pair of bronze eyes and struggled in the flames.
She snorted coldly and rushed to the altar, where a huge lotus phantom slowly appeared beneath her feet. Dozens of white lotus petals flew in the air, and with a "whoosh", they shot towards the bronze horse on the altar!
"Whew!Whew"
The bronze horse was cut into several pieces by the Silent Ice Lotus, and the water in the horse's belly spurted out and swept towards the crowd under the altar, and more than thirty soaked women crawled out of the horse's belly.
"What a man, so bold to ruin the rites of the Decameron!" shouted the red-clad high priest.
Pregnant Qiao snorted coldly, and the half-moon scimitar in his hand flew out, directly cutting off the head of the high priest!
In the sky, a dark green poisonous Jiao opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Pregnant Qiao. As soon as she turned around, she hurriedly dodged behind her.
