1097 Terrible Moran

At that time, the barbarians were naturally unwilling to accept this great calamity, and they still had to live in this land, and it was extremely unfavorable for them to have such a fierce flower in the water source.

Therefore, when the barbarian ancestors settled down, they brought some warriors to get rid of this fierce flower.

However, there were more than a dozen warriors in front and back, and there were hundreds of people, but in the end, only one person was lucky enough to come out alive after losing a leg.

He told his people that this magic orchid was like having a consciousness of its own, and whenever someone approached it with the intention of harming it, its branches would automatically awaken and kill everything that came near it.

The branches of this ferocious flower were almost all over the bottom of the lake, and there was no way for them to get rid of it.

At this time, the barbarian garrison was also faced with another thing that caused them a great headache, that is, the epidemic, they found that although this place was far away from their enemies, no one had ever visited, but the water here was problematic, after drinking this water, the tribesmen fell ill in large numbers, and no herbs worked, and they could only watch them die.

The great heroes who led them were helpless, and almost wanted to set off and go to the next place, when someone found that the same dead animal had been seen by the lake where the fierce flowers had grown.

So they finally connected these two things, although the lake where the magic orchid grows has no waterway leading to other places on the surface, but the underground water system is connected, and the water they take in the station, maybe it flows from here, and the reason why they get sick is all because of this magic orchid here.

But another thing that puzzled them came again, and that was that when they first crossed the river to find the station, there was no problem with the water.

So, what went wrong?

They thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered that when they crossed the river that day, they woke up Moran because someone had a wound, and in the end, Moran was quiet, but because the great hero's wife sacrificed the child she had just given birth.

Could it be that the reason why Mo Lan was quiet and didn't even secrete those poisonous substances was because of the newborn child?

The barbarians had been battered by that time, and they could no longer afford to make another migration, so they explained the situation and recruited women from the tribe who were willing to sacrifice for their people.

In the midst of that stormy time, for the sake of the continuation of the race, a woman enlisted, and they went to the middle of the lake in a boat, and then took out the woman's child, and sank into the largest flower in the center.

Almost instantly, there was a sense of tranquility in the lake, and then, the plague that had plagued them for so long literally disappeared.

The barbarians paid the price of countless people before they finally understood the habits of this fierce flower.

It is easily awakened by bloody, violent fluctuations in the current, and once awakened, it will wreak havoc at the bottom of the lake, and produce pollen that flows with the water, and anyone who drinks this water will be plagued, and only the blood of a newborn baby can make it sleep.

After discovering this, the barbarians named this place the sacred lake and sent someone to guard it. But it is said to be a guard, but it is actually a guard, because the barbarians stationed here have only one task, that is, no one is allowed to go to the edge of the holy lake on weekdays, in case someone plays in the water or drips blood, and awakens the fierce flowers in the lake.

And even if nothing alarmed, the flower would wake up every once in a while, and every then the plague would break out, and the blood of the newborn would need to be sacrificed.

The rulers of the barbarians did not dare to tell the truth to the people of the barbarians, for fear of causing them to panic, so whenever the epidemic broke out, regardless of the health of the saint they worshipped, they would make the saint girl sick, and then the holy lake would be opened and the barbarian people would be allowed to worship in the holy lake.

But in the eyes of the barbarian people, it seems to be completely reversed, and as long as the saint is sick, the epidemic will be epidemic, and this is regarded as the approval of the saint by God.

Under the deliberate misleading propaganda of the barbarian rulers, the ordinary people of the barbarians have great reverence for the holy lake, and there are often countless people who go there these days, and these people who go to worship must have people who are pregnant with Rokko and happen to walk on the ice at night. Because the flower is so beautiful, as long as it is a woman, it is absolutely irresistible, and a pregnant woman is likely to pray for her child to be more beautiful and healthy, so she will tell her wish more closely.

So the woman who walked on the ice at the right time would become the chosen victim, and she would become the new saint.

The barbarians have no writing, everything depends on word of mouth, and the same is true of the things of the Holy Maiden and Molan, but from generation to generation, there will always be errors in word of mouth, and there will be cases where the words are already seriously ill when they are transmitted, and the transmission is not clear, or the people who listen to them have misunderstandings.

In short, the things of the saint have been passed down from generation to generation, and there are very few people who really know the ins and outs of the cause and the future, and even these elders have only vaguely known that there is a fierce flower inside, which is very terrible and terrifying, and can be awakened by blood.

The Great Elder pursed his lips tightly, he knew a little more than the Elder, and he also knew how the Holy Maiden was chosen, but this time it was completely out of the situation.

Originally, it should have been the first epidemic in the territory, and he knew that this saintess was immoral, and it was time to abandon it and find a new saint, and then bring people here.

But this time the epidemic did not rise at all, and since the last time the blood of a newborn was sacrificed, Moran had been very quiet, but at this time, the holy woman actually died, and she died in a place like that on the battlefield, without a hint of warning.

The barbarian tribe has never been without a saint for so many years, and the clansmen have begun to feel uneasy, so he had to announce the opening of the holy lake, and then stubbornly bring people here, hoping to meet a suitable person.

But after the big war between the barbarians and Tianyao, the old, weak, women and children of the barbarians have long been relocated, there are no people in this area at all, and there is such chaos here, even if someone wants to come to worship the holy lake, they may not have the courage, so they have been here for several days and have not seen anything.

At this time, a woman finally appeared in the holy lake, no matter whether this woman was pregnant or not, and who she was, he must first catch this woman and solve the matter of the holy woman.

If this woman is not, then after going back, raise it first, and then kill it when the time is ripe, and find the saint again.
