Chapter 20: The Mad Explorer
Life sacrifice.
As the name suggests, it is the use of living animals for sacrifice.
Among them, it is relatively normal to sacrifice livestock as a sacrifice, but in the Shang period of the earth, as well as in the Mayan and Aztec cultures, there was a terrible custom of sacrificing living people to the gods.
Su Xian traced Mark's memories and knew that there had been human sacrifices in this world, and the age of the gods was not uncommon, and it was a nightmare of pain and despair for the human community.
Even in this day and age, there are evil people who perform such rituals in the shadows.
……
In any case, since animal sacrifices existed in ancient times, it should be possible to sacrifice alive. The mass of flesh in front of us cannot be resisted, there is no ego, and its whole existence is a rare thing, which should be a sacrifice. ”
After clearing his thoughts, Su Xian began to act.
The sacrifice itself is actually a relatively solemn ceremony, and the formal sacrifice not only requires the preparation of altar offerings, but also the selection of time, banquets, and singing of sacrificial songs...... As the one who prays to God, it is necessary to carefully select, bathe, change clothes, and wash away the lead.
Of course, the reason they do this pre-work is basically to prove their piety to God and to attract God's attention, after all, there are so many believers, and God can't take it upon himself to accept a sacrifice every time.
Once God himself did not intervene in the sacrifice, the final lottery was randomized......
Of course, these are unnecessary things for Su Xian.
Keep it simple.
He once again removed the pocket watch, diamonds, and dice from his belt bag and held them in his left hand.
The pocket watch points to time, the diamond points to space, and the dice point to fate, and with a special emblem, it can point directly to the throne of the gods in the temple of the void.
He then rubbed his eyebrows, so that the emblem of the gods lit up, and the divine power was revealed.
Then he stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the skin of the lump and began to make sacrifices to the "gods".
"The miracle of time, the master of space, the lord of destiny...... I offer this 'mutated and rare thing' that my right hand touches as a sacrifice, and ask God to give back to me and give me a favor! ”
As always, Su Xian's ears once again heard his own voice of pleading.
He did not hesitate and immediately responded to his request.
"I accept your sacrifice and will give you back and give you favor."
……
The sacrifice passes, and the process runs.
The pitch-black flesh that was still expanding and growing only trembled for a moment, and then disappeared into the passage out of thin air.
The top of the passage lost its support and collapsed slightly, and gravel and mud powder poured down from its top.
Su Xian's gaze penetrated the void, and once again saw the hall of that "god", and saw the "shadow god" who temporarily took over the priesthood.
The lump of black flesh appeared on the altar under the throne,
The "shadow god" sitting on the throne stretched out his hand to the altar, and the sacrifice was absorbed, and the altar reciprocated, spitting out balls of light wrapped in "divine grace".
This meat ball is a mutant monster that was spawned by taking most of the "Immortal Pill", and its rarity is obviously a notch higher than that of the "Heart of the Mutant Wild Dog".
This grade can be seen from the size of those light balls.
Next, it's time for the random draw.
……
Su Xian wanted to continue to wait and see, but a shadow suddenly appeared in the gravel and mud powder.
He blinked, breaking free from his void vision, his gaze piercing through the mud powder to the other side of the passage that had been blocked by a mass of flesh.
The person who had just jumped out of the opposite corner was looking at him, and the two of them were looking at each other, so it wasn't funny.
"Mark Guynon!"
The other party first called out Su Xian's current identity.
But Su Xian only remembered this person after a little reminiscence-it turned out to be the long-lost explorer Li Anhua!
Of the six people present that day, the tomb robber Augusta and the history professor Garif were both confirmed dead, Professor Buck has been trying to contact the antiquities dealer Ume and the explorer Leanwar, but have been unsuccessful.
Su Xian never expected that he would be able to meet the long-lost explorer in this sewer!
"This explorer must know something!"
His heart moved, and he walked over to Leanhua quietly: "Mr. Leanhua, why are you here?" ”
The explorer's eyes were cloudy, unkempt, and covered in smudges, and he looked like a homeless homeless man.
He saw Su Xian approaching, but he was obviously frightened, turned around and fled: "Mark is really still there, sure enough!" He won't give up if he doesn't kill me. Either he dies or I die......"
Su Xian saw that he was about to escape, so he chased after him without thinking about it: "Mr. Leanwar, you stop first, I'm Mark, Mark Guynon, Professor Barker's student, you just said my name, you don't need to be afraid of me, I won't hurt you." ”
Leanhua didn't care, but his physical strength was obviously insufficient, and he was soon caught up.
Su Xian reached out and wanted to press his shoulder.
But when he noticed it, he turned around suddenly, bared his fangs like a dog, let out a low roar, and stabbed a bone with a ground tip in his hand into Su Xian's chest.
Su Xianmeng frowned, realized that something was wrong, and immediately grabbed it, and his big hand like pliers instantly grabbed Li Anhua's wrist and stopped his attack.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Leanhua, if you continue like this, don't blame me for being careless. ”
But after Leanwar was restrained by him, he roared violently.
The next moment, he suddenly used force and bit Su Xian's throat fiercely!
"Boom!"
The mud slab on the roof of the passage behind him fell down, and a large amount of gravel and mud powder poured down.
Su Xian listened to the voice, his mind turned, and his right hand violently pulled Li Anhua out of balance, and then used force under his feet, pushed his knees, and slammed into Li Anhua's abdomen.
"Bang!"
After this heavy blow, Li Anhua suddenly couldn't support it, and his whole body softened.
Although he is an explorer, he is now obviously weak and mentally problematic, like a mad dog!
Su Xian waved his hand, twisted Li Anhua's body and pressed it to the ground.
Then he stuffed the pocket watch, diamonds, and dice in his left hand into his waist bag, freed his left hand, and completely suppressed Leanwar.
This time, he was no longer polite: "Mr. Leanwar, you have a problem now, tell me everything you know, and I may be more lenient." ”
