Chapter 1984, Minotaur Sacrifice

Unlike the rough design of the original plan, after being improved by Terran and Dwarven craftsmen, the entire altar was built entirely of marble.

That whole image has been upgraded by more than one notch.

If the Minotaur Totem Altar on the original design is compared to a rough house, then at this moment, what is displayed in front of Luo Ji is the hardcover version.

A whole altar, presented as a circle, the outermost circle, eight directions, each with a semicircular groove, with these eight grooves as the starting point, the marble floor of the altar, began to extend a large number of totemic symbols that others could not understand.

However, Luo Ji saw a tendency to extend a little bit from it.

Those totemic symbols, not without regularity, but traces, eventually converged at the center of this altar.

In the center, however, there is no totemic symbol, a blank circle.

Faced with this situation, Luo Ji quickly figured it out after thinking about it for a while.

The Minotaur Totem Altar was undoubtedly built, as the system had clearly given a hint and triggered a special building project.

After unlocking and upgrading that particular building's item, an extension called 'Minotaur Ritual' soon appeared.

At that time, Luo Ji didn't think much about it, and spent ten orc points and one civilization point to unlock the item of 'Minotaur Sacrifice'.

Subsequently, the system gave him an explanation, which mainly told him how to perform the Minotaur sacrifice.

In addition to the entire ritual process, in order to perform a ritual, it is necessary to prepare a full twenty-seven kinds of materials, which are then mixed into a special liquid, which is needed during the ritual.

Two of these materials are relatively rare, six materials are unique to the orc civilization, and the rest are more common.

This ritual process and material list, Luo Ji had already sent it to Niu Xian remotely through the fax machine long before, and those two rare materials, after so many years of civilization in the Ten Thousand Worlds, they must have inventory, and they can easily prepare them, and even after this time, they have already been deployed, and then, it is almost time to officially hold the sacrifice.

At this time, even Niu Xian was a little nervous in his heart.

In order to ensure the success of the sacrifice, Luo Ji gave them another five days to prepare.

During this period, many Minotaurs, who had already received the news, also rushed back from other places in order to participate in this important sacrifice.

All of a sudden, the originally quiet Minotaur land became a little lively and crowded.

Five days passed quickly, and on the day of the festival, a large number of minotaurs gathered in the open space around the altar.

On the opposite side of the Minotaur Totem Altar, a high platform for viewing the ceremony has also been built, and Luo Ji sat on the high platform to watch the entire ceremony.

Considering the large number of minotaurs who participated in the festival, this first festival began at 7 o'clock in the morning.

Although they had rehearsed the whole process more than 100 times before, at this time, the minotaurs still couldn't help but be nervous.

Under this premise, to Luo Ji's slight surprise, the first person to accept the sacrifice turned out to be Niu Xian, who was the patriarch.

You know, according to the system, this minotaur sacrifice is a ritual that activates the ancestral totem with the help of the totem altar, so as to awaken the power of the minotaur bloodline.

However, not every Minotaur will succeed.

The Black Iron Totem Altar only provided him with a 10% success rate bonus.

In other words, it's to look at the bloodline, and to put it bluntly, it's to look at the face!

In this ritual, courage is required for the first one, after all, if it fails, it is not only a matter of losing face, but also a clear blow to one's self-confidence.

According to Niu Xian's idea, if he is the first to go up, if he succeeds, it will naturally boost morale and make a good start for this important sacrifice, and if it fails, then the young people in the clan behind will have nothing to be discouraged after the failure, after all, even he, the patriarch, has failed, what else do you have to worry about?

Realizing Niu Xian's intentions, Luo Ji also has to say that although Niu Xian is a fool, he is also coarse and meticulous when it comes to doing things.

In the middle of the thought, Niu Xian below had already taken off his shirt, revealing his muscular coiled body and slowly walked to the ring in the center of the altar, and then knelt on one knee, his eyes slightly closed and made a baptism posture.

At this moment, the Minotaur Ritual begins!

The minotaurs in the eight directions of the altar held wooden bowls in their hands, and while chanting ancient sacrificial songs in a high voice, they slowly poured the red slurry from the wooden bowls into the eight semicircular grooves on the periphery of the altar.

The red slurry flowed slowly along the totemic runes carved into the altar.

Luo Ji, who saw this scene clearly through the telescope, was also full of curiosity in his heart, the speed of the slurry flow was much slower than he expected, and he didn't know what would happen next.

And just when Luo Ji was thinking like this, because of the inflow of red slurry, the totem runes that gradually filled up seemed to resonate with the sacrificial ballad sung by the eight minotaurs, and the entire totem altar actually began to emit bursts of red light!

This slurry is quite rare, so in the previous rehearsals, they used to use water instead, but now this situation is obviously impossible to happen during rehearsals.

The burst of red light, although the eight minotaurs felt nervous, they did not stop moving, and at the same time, the sound of chanting sacrificial ballads became even higher!

Before you know it, the red slurry has completely poured into every line of the altar, and then quickly converges towards the central ring.

That's when something amazing happened again.

The moment the red slurry flowed into the central ring, it did not completely disperse as everyone expected, but still took on the shape of a rune totem, as if it had come to life, and climbed up along Niu Xian's burly body.

During this whole process, Niu Xian, who had been baptized, clearly felt a burning tingling sensation, and those red slurries seemed to be boiling, penetrating his skin little by little, as if they were going to penetrate into his blood!

At this moment, Niu Xian clearly heard the sound of blood flowing in his body, which was like a torrent in a mountain stream, flowing wildly in his veins.

Immediately afterwards, the increasing pain made Niu Xian's forehead already break out in a bean-sized cold sweat, and the green tendons one after another also burst out, and finally he couldn't suppress it anymore, and roared out completely!
