Chapter 787: Something Terrible
Even, from some angles, it looks like a smiling woman.
The whole sculpture is black and brown in color, and in this color, there is a faint dark red.
In the light of the light, it looks terrifying.
The sculpture is neither of wood nor stone, nor of any kind of metal.
I suddenly remembered that Keli had mentioned it to us before.
The aborigines of the devouring swamp seem to believe in a deity called "Pula".
Could it be that this is its statue?
My eyes kept beating, and I looked up for nearly half a minute, but I didn't see what it was made of.
I don't know why, this thing will make people feel a strange feeling after watching it for a long time.
It was a feeling of human instinct based on terror and fear.
The speed of the heart's beating suddenly increased.
It took me several deep breaths to break free from that emotion.
Turning my head to look at my teammates, I found that except for Zhao Qiqi, the expressions of the others seemed to be a little stunned.
"Qiangzi, Deming, Wang Yi, Situ, what's wrong with you??" I quickly approached them, whispering as I reached out and pushed their bodies.
It took them several shouts before they came back to their senses.
"Huh?!"
"Huh??"
"Oh my god, what happened to me just now??"
Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Zhang Qiang's bodies all shook suddenly, and even Situ Cao shook slightly.
"What else do I want to ask you?! What's wrong with you just now, your expression is so ugly? I asked in a low voice, furrowing my brow.
"I don't know. After looking at that statue for a long time, I felt as if I had fallen into something terrible. Then I don't know anything. Wang Yi said, raising his hand and rubbing his temples.
"Yes, yes, yes! I was pretty much the same. What the hell is that?? It's horrible!! Zhang Qiang said, subconsciously trembling.
Zhao Qiqi stood on the edge of the house, looked quietly in the direction of the altar, and then said, "That sculpture should have some kind of hypnotic ability, don't keep staring at it." You'll lose your mind! ”
When Du Deming heard this, he suddenly realized: "No wonder." Only Gao Wei was not affected by the sculpture. ”
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Qiqi.
It is clear that there are some things that Du Deming did not say.
It is because I have a strong spiritual stance that I am not influenced by sculpture.
But what about Zhao Qiqi?!
Why is she also unaffected?!
I thought so from the bottom of my heart, but I also knew that now was not the time to think about these things.
Quickly retracting my thoughts, I looked at the others, "Leave this alone. Since there is a problem with the sculpture, then everyone should try not to look at it! Now the question is, where is the big box that Weng Qian mentioned!? I suspect that the fragments are most likely hidden there!! ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Wang Yi hurriedly reminded: "Don't talk yet!" You see, a lot of people are converging in the direction of the altar!! ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately quieted down.
Look cautiously over there.
I saw a large crowd of people gathering from all over the tribe in the direction of the altar, and stopped in the square in front of the altar.
And among these people, the most striking is a group of tribe aborigines who are at the forefront.
They made containers out of wood, carrying piles of fruit and meat, walked towards the altar.
Other natives watched as they walked towards the altar with reverence on their faces.
Behind the natives were mercenaries, members of the Guard, and caravans.
It looks like there's really going to be a festival here.
But......
I searched around, but I never saw the big box that Weng Qian mentioned.
Just when I was wondering.
The aborigines let out a strange call at the same time.
Then, the crowd split in two from the middle.
The inhabitants folded their hands, humble and reverent, and their bodies slightly bent, as if to welcome the arrival of something.
A few of us were wondering.
Eight natives carried a huge chest and walked along the way from the edge of the square to the center of the altar.
My eyelids jumped, could it be that the fragments were hidden there??
But......
There are so many people here, and even if the things are actually there, it's hard for us to get the pieces in our hands!
Just when the six of us were shocked, something even stranger happened.
That's right.
Soon after the large chest was placed on the altar, twelve more men appeared.
We have met six of them, and they are the members of the scientific defense team who just captured the six uncles and aunts.
And the other six people naturally don't need to talk about it.
It's those aunts and uncles.
At this time, they were still tied up with five flowers, but their mouths were gagged with cloth.
Their mouths kept sending out desolate whimpers, but no matter how much they struggled, they still couldn't escape the palms of these strange members of the scientific defense team.
Under the gaze of countless people, they were pushed from the square to the altar.
At this point, even fools can guess what kind of fate will greet them next.
It's just that......
I frowned slightly.
On top of the altar, only stood the huge, strangely shaped statue of the god 'Pula', which was more than ten meters high.
Other than that, there were only tributes of fruit and meat that had just been carried up.
And then, there's nothing.
So, in what way do they want to worship this so-called "god" they believe in?
By this time, it was close to evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on people's faces and the mysterious sculpture added a bit of weirdness to the atmosphere of the scene.
However, it is not what we imagined.
These aborigines did not immediately hold sacrifices.
After a native, who looked like a leader on the altar, shouted a few words, everyone silently lowered their heads and began to mutter.
It's as if they're praying for something, or calling for something.
Suddenly, all of a sudden, on the entire square, only the whispers of the aborigines remained.
Countless whispers converged and buzzed.
This sound seems to have some kind of strange energy that makes people feel intimidated.
Time passed like this, minute by minute.
Until the sun goes down and the dark curtain falls.
Night, finally arrived!
Scold......
The moment the sun set on the ground, the torches throughout the square were immediately lit by the aborigines.
Then, under everyone's gaze, the members of the six scientific defense teams quickly untied the ropes on the six uncles and aunts.
However, in the next second, something terrible happened suddenly......
