Somewhere in an exotic space, a sacrifice is about to take place. In the dark night, I saw the fires on both sides of the column, one higher than the other, extending to the altar in an orderly manner. On either side of the staircase stood men with weapons, some armed with halberds and others with swords at their waists, looking like warriors. At the bottom of the stone staircase stood a large number of people, most of them dressed in animal pattern costumes and fur hats, and only a few of them were dressed in gorgeous costumes and stood at the front.

Someone in the crowd was talking to each other, as if they were talking about something.

'More than 100 years have passed, there has been no war, there is peace in our people, there has been prosperity like never before, and it is wonderful that such days have passed. But why is there a sacrifice at this time? ’

It is rumored that the sacrifice is to use living people, but it has not been done for more than a hundred years. One of them trembled a little after speaking, and stopped talking.

"Hey, now that I think about it, it was really great when the Holy Monarch was in the Snow Ridge all year after year, blocking the soldiers and horses of the north and south from fighting, so that there would never be a war between the two sides. I wish the war would never happen again. A man muttered to himself, and there was some lamentation in his speech.

"What do you know, there is no killing without war, and without killing we are still the demons in the mouth of the south? We have the blood of wild beasts in our bodies, and we have the most primitive nature, we are barbarians, we will kill all the people in the southern regions and rob them of their resources." We are here to fight, to slaughter the southerners, to ravage the land under the feet of the southerners, that is the meaning of our existence, hahahaha. ’

That's right, the Holy Monarch didn't know what was crazy back then, and seeing that the southern regions were about to be in hand, he was temporarily said to have changed his mind, and he used his own strength to build a wall of qi for the southerners to prevent us from going south, if it weren't for the fact that the lands of the southerners are all ours now. ’

Don't talk nonsense, for if people hear it, they will lose their heads. We will do whatever we are told to do, and leave nothing else to mind and say nothing. ’

After a while, a shadow flashed on the altar. But I saw a tall and powerful woman quietly descending on the altar. She looked around, as if she had seen all the people and things, and knew it all in her chest. One was half-lying on a spacious purple ice crystal bench on the altar.

The scene was silent, and everyone's eyes were staring at her on the altar. They shouted in unison, "Meet the Holy Maiden," and everyone bowed to him one after another.

After finishing, the old man holding a skull staff in one hand walked slowly from the stone steps to the woman, "Holy Maiden, the secret sacrifice is ready, and it is ready to begin." The old man seemed to be a priest, and he spoke neither quickly nor slowly, and when he had finished speaking, he bowed his head slightly, as if waiting for orders.

'Go!' The woman seemed to be a little impatient to follow up, and spoke a little resolutely.

The priest stood in the middle of the altar and raised the scepter of the human head in his hand to attract the attention of his people. More than 100 years have passed, and we have been stumbling in the alternation of the sun and the moon for a hundred years, and this hundred years have been a hundred years of suffering for our demons. Tonight we gather together to pray to the great god of the night, that we may be given great strength to bring the southerners a baptism of blood under your guidance and submit them to our feet. ''Please accept our gift. When he had finished, he struck the scepter down on the altar.

Then the lights were lit on the top of the hill above the altar, and then there were bursts of shouts, and a large number of people could be vaguely seen being pushed down the hill by men with weapons in their hands. There was a scream from the top of the mountain, and the crowds disappeared under the red light. Most of the people under the altar were trembling with fright, and only some of the people were cheering.

More than 100 years have passed, and there are not many people left who have experienced human sacrifice. Some of the clansmen under the altar have been separated by generations, and the holy woman on the altar is still so unangry and arrogant.

It was so cruel that it was sacrificed by a living man. ’

"Listening to the older generation talk about human sacrifice, I thought it was scary, but what I saw in person today is really cruel. ”

"There are many of you babies who haven't seen it, hum haha, have you seen the stone carving beast head totem behind the altar, the symbol of the spirit of our demon clan for millions of years--- evil heavenly monster, vicious beast appearance, flamboyant fangs, legend has the power to destroy the world, the divine beast of our demon race. Those people just pushed it down and fed it. ”

"Isn't your words saying that we are going to wage war against the southerners again?"

"When the sacrifice is stable, the clansmen can remember the bloodthirsty nature of the demons, and once the war starts, they can send troops at any time to sweep the southerners. The sacrifice was also a warning to the opponents of the clan that those who were thrown down to feed the beasts were the restless race. ”

The human sacrifice on the top of the mountain was unbearable, and the miserable sound resounded through the heavens and the earth. The people who participated in the sacrifice under the altar were panicked, but they were silent. The saint on the altar sat silently, as if everything was a process.

"Holy Maiden, the blood sacrifice has passed, it is time to read the holy message" After a while, the priest asked the holy woman for instructions with trepidation, and the voice resounded through the altar.

"Xuan!" the holy woman Wei Ran got up and stood in front of the bench. After hearing this, the people under the altar also knelt on the ground and looked up at the altar, while the guards on both sides of the stone staircase were facing the altar in a half-kneeling position. There was silence as the High Priest read the oracle.

At this time, at the point where the center of the altar was pointed forward, a stone book had already appeared, half-suspended in the air. The stone book was large, one square square and closed, and looked a little ancient. The back of the stone book is clearly marked, and the S-shaped characters around it are connected to form a side paragraph, and the middle figure is concave and convex, but it is impressively printed with two ancient characters that have never been seen.

The Stone Book of the Holy Word! Having just experienced the blood sacrifice of the living, and now there is another stone book, many people are both frightened and curious.

The high priest walked towards the stone book, and when he approached, he first crossed his arms and bowed his head to show respect for the stone book. Then he slowly moved his gaze to the kneeling clansmen under the altar, as if waiting for the hour to come.

After a while, the priest slowly recited the secret words, and a mysterious sense of language floated in the quiet night sky, only to see that the stone book seemed to be inspired to slowly open it, and the clansmen under the altar were dumbfounded.

The high priest held the two corners of the stone book with both hands, his hands trembling a little, but his face showed joy. More than 100 years have passed, and the stone book is still spiritual, and it is opened as soon as I hear the priest's chanting. Although the stone book is an ancient and obscure script, the priest lineage is as old as the Holy Family, and it has the ability to understand the heavens and the earth, otherwise it would not have existed in the history of the Holy Family for so long, and this text is nothing to him.

But seeing the high priest slowly reciting, "Heaven travels the sun and the moon, and the Xuan and the Ming are combined。。。。。 The night spawns, and the demons eat people's hearts".

Just as everyone was listening intently, a shocking lightning bolt struck down on the eastern night sky, instantly illuminating the entire night sky, and then lightning and thunder enveloped the entire sacrifice and the surrounding places, and the wind howled. The people who participated in the sacrifice were frightened.

"The god of darkness has appeared, the god of darkness has appeared. "Give us strength," shouted the people, and they kept bowing their heads.

Then, the mountain began to shake, and everyone present shook with it, except where the holy woman stood resolutely, observing the situation around her with cold eyes.

"What's the matter, first lightning and thunder, then the earth shaking, and there are terrifying ghost screams. Could it be that the beast is coming out? The people under the altar were even more frightened, and many of them were so frightened that they sat down on the ground.

The shaking priest's mouth kept muttering, "Vision, vision, I'm afraid something big is going to happen, I'm afraid something big is going to happen." ”

By the time the priest set his eyes on the Holy Maiden, there were already two men wearing the mask of the Beast standing beside the Holy Maiden. "When did the Snow Hiding Team appear, is there really something big going on?" the priest muttered to himself.

Before the priest could come to his senses, the saint ordered the masked woman to say, "Order the guards to evacuate the people to safety, it looks like something is going to happen tonight." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men were gone. The swaying priest saw where the saint was standing resolutely, and the silver light of lightning shone on the ice armor on the saint's body, and the wind blew her hair, but her aura was not as bad as a hundred years ago, and a wave of power suddenly appeared, which seemed to have no effect on her.

The people under the altar were slowly evacuated, but the vision did not mean to dissipate all at once. The night of the Holy Domain has always been different from other places, and the starry sky is basically not visible at night, and the southerners also call the Holy Land the Black Domain. But tonight, an even more intense darkness is sweeping through the Sanctuary.

In the sky above the back mountain, the lightning is more fierce, the thunder is louder, and the black clouds are more fierce, and even the roar that has not been heard in the back mountain for more than a hundred years is endless. The saint's eyes were fixed on the sky, to see what could happen.

"High Priest, you look nervous. The saint said casually

"There are visions recorded in the history of the Holy Family, and every time they appear, something great happens. It has been since the last vision ... I don't know what's going to happen again this time. The High Priest spoke a little slowly, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.

"You mean that my mother gave birth to me and my brother on the night of the blood moon, isn't that great? My brother has become the most powerful in the history of the Holy Clan, and I don't lead you very well. You said it, High Priest!"

"That's ,,,,, you're right!"

The conversation between the saint and the high priest always felt a bit mysterious, and there were some things that only they could understand.

The vision of the back mountain is getting stronger and stronger, and dense black clouds are gathering from the rear to the top of the altar, and a powerful force is pressing down from the sky, shattering some of the stones on the back mountain, and some trees can't withstand the oppression and break directly. The howling wind was mixed with the roar of monsters.

Under the altar, there were guards arranging for the clansmen to evacuate, and some of the clansmen who had not had time to leave fell directly to the ground. At this moment, I saw that at the altar and the top of the mountain, there were people wearing masks who were making the same gesture and pushing their palms into the air. A powerful force formed a protective shield, temporarily blocking the pressure of the sinking air current.

Under the air hood, the wind gradually calmed down, and people had a chance to breathe for a while. The clansmen were evacuated from the altar one by one, and guards stood on either side of the stone steps. The priestess stood beside the saint, following her gaze at the black clouds that were piling up above.

The black clouds over the back mountain kept gathering, and the lightning flashed by, lighting up the night sky from time to time, and the oppressive momentum was unabated. Soon after, the clouds above began to surge, gradually forming the center of the vortex, which became larger and larger, spreading out in all directions. Suddenly, space was torn apart, and a large black hole appeared in the sky.

"The heavens cracked, and there was a hole in the heavens. The high priest was terrified. Lightning rushed around the entrance of the cave, but the lightning and flint could not penetrate it, only a deeper darkness could be seen inside. The crowd was amazed and amazed, even the well-informed high priest found it incredible.
