Chapter 18: Sacrifice
Lu Yi was afraid of the mana net, and he didn't dare to step forward to rob it, and after catching up, he could only follow his whereabouts all the way.
The hunters dragging the large nets also walked in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to do something, and did not stop to rest all day, until they reached the edge of Songling almost north.
The climate here has cooled down significantly, and the wind blowing in the face carries a swishing coolness. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking ahead, you can see an endless stream of snow-capped mountains in front of you.
The snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all year round, and countless bluish glaciers lie in between, probably because the ice crystals contain unique blue minerals, so that vast area is also called the Blue Ice Field.
The hunters finally stopped in a valley where there was a village much larger than Arashi Village.
At this moment, the entrance of the village was full of people, all dressed as hunters, each holding a sword in his hand, not like he was going to hunt, but like he was going to fight in a group.
There were many large nets scattered under their feet, some of them emitting glitter, and some of them were just ordinary nets.
Half of them are chickens, ducks, fish, geese, cows, sheep, deer and horses in the net, and the other half are demons like Xiao Yuan, with more than 100 heads.
Xiao Yuan was trapped in the net, his limbs were squeezed under his belly, his neck could not be straightened, his mouth could not be opened, and his fur was strangled into hundreds of diamonds.
Two people walked out of the hunters, one holding a tablet in his hand, and the other holding a portrait in his hand, placing it on the offering table, and then waving the machete in his hand and cutting off the neck of a sheep.
Blood shot out in the air, and everyone fell to the ground and shouted in unison: "Kneel down and ask the Great Immortal to come, and we will bow down and donate blood and food." ”
Lu Yi thought to himself, this was a blood food sacrifice.
He drew his dagger and was about to rush out, when he suddenly heard a muffled thunder explode in the sky!
He looked up, and a bolt of lightning struck, and from the dazzling white light flew a huge figure, as if the figure tore through the sky and emerged from the darkness.
A deep voice sounded above the heads of the people: "Who dares to disturb my purity! You call me, but you can prepare enough sacrifices, and if you do not satisfy me, let you sacrifice with you!"
Lu Yi was taken aback, the Yuan Demon would actually appear?
The huge figure hovered in the air three times, and it was a giant vulture.
The wingspan is ten feet, and the tip feathers are as open as five fingers, as hard as steel thorns.
The bottom of the long neck is draped with a circle of fluff like steel needles, which looks domineering.
The vultures shrank their wings and swooped downward, and a powerful gust of wind swept everyone unsteadily. He stood before the sacrifice, opened his mouth and picked up the headless sheep, and his iron claws grabbed the sheep and tore it in half, and then he threw his head up, and half of the sheep fell into his belly.
The people who knelt on the ground bowed their heads and did not dare to look at this bloody scene, for fear that the demon god would be angry and tear them in half because the sacrifice was insufficient.
Lu Yi was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and in the blink of an eye, the vulture ate thirty or forty sacrifices, getting closer and closer to Xiao Yuan.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound at the exit of the valley in the distance, and the earth shook.
The hunters jumped up from the ground and shouted, "Here they are!
Then he raised his head and said to the vulture: "Tell the demon god, the snow monster is coming! They entered the Songling Mountains from the Blue Ice Field, so that we are not at peace, and ask the demon god to make the decision for us!"
The vulture stared at the exit of the valley, where a cloud of dust was raised, and a heavy figure appeared in the dust.
He sneered, "Little snow monsters, wait until I eat them before I come to enjoy the sacrifice." ”
With that, his wings fluttered, and his huge body rose into the air.
The figure in the dust in the distance moved forward extremely fast, and in a moment it entered the valley.
The dust was noisy, and the hunters saw hundreds of white-haired monsters that looked a bit like apes. The leader is three times the size of the rest of the snow monsters, and his eyes glow red, and he is a primordial demon.
The snow monster saw the flying vultures from afar, and the hunters gathered below the vultures, opened their mouths and roared, and rushed straight at the pace.
With their swords in hand, the hunters roared in anger and rushed towards the dusty area ahead.
The two camps are close to each other!
The snow monster has four legs with sharp claws, and two rows of fangs in its mouth, comparable to a sword, and it is extremely powerful in the crowd.
The Orions have always fought with all kinds of fierce beasts in the forest, and they are brave and good at fighting, and at this moment, they have invited the vulture demon, which is full of confidence and high morale.
As soon as the two sides collided, more than a dozen snow monsters and seven or eight hunters immediately fell.
The bloody qi quickly spread over the valley, burrowing into the nostrils of both camps, and both sides were red-eyed.
The snow monster demon at the head was extremely powerful, covered in white long hairs and invulnerable, spewing out a zero-degree strong wind from its mouth, and the surrounding air blended with heat and cold, and a snowstorm instantly fell, rolling the hunters upside down into the sky, throwing them down fiercely, and falling into a puddle of meat mud.
And the vulture demon did not go to the snow monster, he rushed into the snow monster camp, shook off a pair of steel wings, like two sharp blades in his hands, and tore the snow monster in the waist everywhere he passed.
The snow monster didn't go looking for the vultures, but just jumped into the group of hunters and stormed left and right, killing and injuring a large number of people.
Taking advantage of the chaos ahead, Lu Yi quietly approached Xiao Yuan, pulled out his dagger and slashed towards the wire net.
But no matter how hard he tried, the wire net was still as stable as Mount Tai.
There was no way, he had no choice but to throw Xiao Yuan on his back and run wildly in the direction of Huangshi Village.
Xiao Yuan's hands and feet were tied and he couldn't move, and he could barely open his mouth: "We can't escape, the vulture has left a smell on the sacrifice, and he will catch up with you." ”
This is a day's trip from Arashi Village, and that war can't last that long, and when the vulture understands that he will chase him, he may be able to intercept Lu Yi halfway.
Lu Yi thought about it, threw Xiao Yuan to the ground, and climbed an extremely thick tree with a swish.
Xiao Yuan was stunned, and immediately scolded: "I have no righteousness, throw me away and run for my life!" and keep saying that Xiao Yuan is in vain, I treat you as a brother in vain. ”
Lu Yi climbed to the top of the canopy in three or two times, closed his eyes tightly, and the furnace was open! Circles of starlight lit up in his pupils, and the furnace rumbled.
He searched everywhere and finally found something not far from here.
jumped to the ground, left Xiao Yuan behind him and ran, without stopping for a moment, rushing towards the destination.
A lot of birds and beasts were startled along the way, and those birds and beasts looked around in surprise, but they couldn't even see a human figure.
As the saying goes, when you look at the mountains and run dead horses, the trees look very close, but in fact, you have been running for two or three hours in a row, and you still haven't reached that place.
Lu Yi felt that his speed was obviously much slower, and there seemed to be a large flame in his body that was about to roast him into jerky.
Xiao Yuan shouted, "Take a break, otherwise you will die." ”
Lu Yi was so tired that he couldn't speak, and suddenly his ears moved, and the cold hairs on the back of his neck stood up. There is a case!
Before he could carefully observe the surroundings, he heard a deep voice not far away: "Who dares to steal Lao Tzu's sacrifices!"
The vulture is coming!
Lu Yi couldn't care about the flames in his body and sprinted again, it should be close, not far ahead.
The dust behind him rose twenty or thirty feet high, but it also revealed his whereabouts. The vulture immediately locked onto the boy and the sacrifice on his back, and swooped down towards Lu Yi with a loud scream.
A gust of wind rushed straight to the back of his head, and Lu Yi suddenly leaned down and made a sharp turn!
A pair of vultures' iron claws grabbed him from behind!
Lu Yi supported the ground with one hand, quickly adjusted the direction and ran wildly again.
The vulture sneered, and with a hook on the right wing, the tip of the iron thorn-like feather hit Lu Yi's body.
Lu Yi pulled out the dagger to block, and the dagger immediately shattered into tens of millions of pieces, and Lu Yi and Xiao Yuan's bodies lost control, flew out upside down, and slammed into a tree trunk behind them.
The vulture landed steadily, approaching the two step by step, with a grim smile on his lips: "Although I have eaten so many snow monsters on the battlefield, Lao Tzu is already a little full." But who would be disgusted with eating too much blood? You two are just a snack after a meal. ”
Xiao Yuan closed his eyes sadly.
Lu Yi watched the vulture approach, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a tree not far behind him, with half an antelope hanging on the upper branches. That's it! What he saw from the top of the canopy.
Suddenly, my heart lit up.
The vulture screamed and stretched out its iron claws towards Lu Yi. At this moment, a thigh-thick snowstorm tornado blew from the forest, hitting the vulture's chest.
The vultures were in pain, and they were surprised, and there were snow monsters, didn't they flee back to the Blue Ice Field?
Turning his head, dozens of snow storm tornadoes blew out of the forest, carrying thousands of ice crystals, each as sharp as a knife. The sneak attack just now, if it weren't for the vulture's strong body, would have been beaten into a sieve.
The vulture screamed, and its winged steel spikes swung in unison, bang, bang, bang, bang, and knocked countless ice crystals down in a row, but they were also so staggered that they could barely breathe.
A figure flashed in the snowstorm tornado, and a majestic woman stabbed out with a sword in her hand, and at the moment when the vulture swung off the ice crystals, the sword light flashed, sneer!
The vulture's long neck was broken in two, and its wings were still waving in mid-air due to inertia, and it took a while to stop.
"Aunt Hua!" Lu Yi shouted excitedly: "I knew you were here!"
Aunt Hua blamed: "You kid is too risky, if I didn't go out today, you wouldn't be able to save your life." ”
The baby came running with a snort and smiled, "How did you know that Mom and I live here? ”
Lu Yi stretched out two fingers and pointed to his eyes: "Look with your eyes! I saw half an antelope on this tree from the edge of Songling, and I knew that you might be here, so I took a gamble, haha, it seems that I was lucky." ”
Aunt Hua high-fived and exclaimed: "Ah Yi's eyesight is so strong, it's really good! Baby, you see Ah Yi participating in the Enlightenment Furnace with you, he is far more than you now!"
The baby lowered his head: "Mom, you're here again." ”
Xiao Yuan shouted dissatisfiedly, "Has anyone come to untie me? I'm about to strangle to death." ”
Lu Yi hurriedly smiled and said to Aunt Hua: "This silk net is very powerful, I can't untie it." ”
Aunt Hua looked at it and said, "This is a silk net, made of shark tendons, light and dexterous, although the tenacity is not particularly strong, but it is enough to tie a bundle of your little demon." ”
After saying that, he spat out a breath of true qi in his mouth, slowly opened the Jiao silk net, and let Xiao Yuan out.
