Chapter 16: The Second Sacrifice
Point-like bookmarks still wiggle, sometimes pointing to the corpse of the mutated wild dog, sometimes to deeper darkness.
Su Xian calmed down, and finally chose to move on.
He leaned against the wall, cautiously approaching the dingo's carcass.
When they got closer, the bookmark suddenly stopped swaying and pointed straight at the dingo's carcass.
"This dingo carcass is a rarity?"
Su Xian paused, staring at the darkness behind the corpse.
There are no other voices in the darkness, and even if there are "demons", they are deeper.
He put his mind at ease, and immediately changed the "Luo β Card Album" to his right hand, and then shone it on the carcass of the wild dog.
But in the flickering light, the corpse did not change at all.
"What went wrong?"
Su Xian couldn't help but be stunned, but he immediately came to his senses, endured his physical disgust, and reached out to touch all parts of the corpse.
"Endless life, deformed evolution, wandering encounters, stubborn will...... Mutated Heart ......"
"Not the carcass of a wild dog, but the heart of a carcass. Of the entire corpses, this heart is the only rare thing. If you want to put it in the card book, it seems that you have to take it off separately, there is no way! β
Luckily, the dingo's heart had slipped out of its body and was hanging outside.
Su Xian pinched the blood vessels outside the heart and took it off whole.
After that, he shines a card album on his heart.
With a flash of light, the heart of the wild dog was included in the card album and coded as 3.
- No.3 The Heart of a Mutant Wild Dog

"A one-star item with Rarity in the category of material cards...... As the name suggests, it is simply a material. β
Although slightly disappointed, Su Xian still quickly thought of how to use this material.
"The heart of the mutant wild dog, if there is a perfect experimental equipment, you can study the secret of its mutation. But now I don't have that kind of room to spare. Since it is a rare item, it can be used as a sacrifice to the gods. β
So far, although Su Xian has mastered the method of sacrificing to that "god", he has only made his first sacrifice when he first came.
But now, he was ready for a second sacrifice.
"Under normal circumstances, the sacrifice to that 'god' requires the preparation of an altar engraved with a sacrificial array and the preparation of three catalysts that point to time, space, and destiny. The three catalysts Mark chose were pocket watches, diamonds, and dice. Pocket watches point to time, diamonds (polyhedron) point to space, and dice point to fate. Fortunately, I always carry these three items with me. As for the sacrificial array......"
He rubbed his eyebrows, and the divine emblem lit up, leaking a trace of divine might.
"That parchment has been absorbed by me and turned into a divine emblem, and is there a better altar than myself?"
So he took the pocket watch, diamonds, and dice out of his fanny pack, held them in his left hand, and pulled the "Heart of the Mutant Wild Dog" from the card album - in the form of a card, and placed it in his right hand.
After preparing the altar and the matchmaker, he began to ask the "gods" for divine grace.
"The miracle of time, the master of space, the lord of destiny...... I offer this 'mutant wild dog's heart' in my hand as a sacrifice, and ask God to give back to me and give me a favor! β
The sound of the sky echoed through the underground passage.
The brilliance of the emblem dispelled the darkness.
Su Xian's ears once again heard his own pleading.
In desperation, he responded to his words:
"I accept your sacrifice and will give you back and give you favor."
β¦β¦
The sacrifice is accomplished.
The "heart of the mutant wild dog" was taken away by God.
His gaze pierced through the void and saw the temple of the "god" again.
There is a throne in the temple, and on the throne sits the "shadow god" who temporarily takes over the priesthood.
The "Heart of the Mutant Wild Dog" appears 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".
Compared to the first sacrifice, the ball of light was significantly smaller this time.
Next, the "shadow god" will pick a favor and give it to the person who sacrificed it.
It's all completely random.
Su Xian continued to wait and see.
As before, the "shadow god" on the throne stretched out his hand, and the balls of light floated one after another, swirling and flying around it.
But this time, Su Xian didn't see the swords, crystal balls, scepters and other physical objects that he had before.
It is also a sacrifice, because the blessings received vary greatly depending on the sacrifice.
This time, there were basically no physical objects in the ball of light, all of them were things that had no practical effect, including colored points of light, striped halos, and spinning runes.
Su Xian's eyes turned, and he couldn't see whether these divine graces were good or bad, so he could only wait quietly.
A moment later, the "Shadow God" on the throne reached out and grabbed one from the large number of balls of light.
But here's where the real tension comes in.
Su Xian couldn't help but gather his spirit, and stared at the right hand of the "Shadow God".
And sure enough, the "shadow god" then handed over the first ball of light to his left hand, and then grabbed the second ball of light from the air with his right hand again!
β¦β¦
Good!
"One sacrifice, two divine graces! It wasn't a coincidence last time. β
Su Xian retracted his gaze and waited for the grace to come.
Two balls of light, one on the left and one on the right, immediately appeared in front of him.
In the ball of light on the left-hand side is a slowly rotating transparent rune.
In the ball of light on the right-hand side is a virtual bust.
He reached out and grabbed the rune in the first ball of light.
"The rune of time restores the user's state before 1 second."
It's rare to see such a normal description.
He himself was a little stunned.
In short, he first put the "Time Rune" into the card album, and then reached out and grabbed the half-body virtual image in the second ball of light.
"Toko Scat, cunning villager, trap maker, despicable leg control, dictator of stockings......"
β¦β¦
I have to say that the description of this half-length virtual image was completely out of Su Xian's expectations, he originally thought that this might be a special ability, but he didn't expect that the description was pointing to a character who seemed to have existed?
After thinking for a while, he simply put it into the card book, and then looked at the card description.

"Something as rare as the Time Rune, the rarity is only R? Is it because the 'gods' have created a large number of runes of this magnitude? This is very useful for dodging lethal attacks. It's a pity that it's consumable and can only be used once. And the 1s time is too short to grasp. β
"The spirit of villager Toko Scat? Character cards? Sustainable? Growing? And the rarity of this thing turned out to be SR? WTFοΌ β
Su Xian felt a little confused.
