The ruby at the tip of the scepter shimmered in the firelight, and when you looked straight away, the vague shadow in it was breathtaking. The mottled and burnt brown lines snaked from the base of the gem, snake-like all the way, and finally disappeared into the depths of the pale palm.

She seemed to have completely lost consciousness after Wei Ming's appearance, and just stared directly at the face looming under his hood, without even blinking her eyes again.

"Holy Maiden, it's time."

At this moment, a shadow more than half a person tall flashed from behind Wei Ming, and he bowed respectfully, and after he raised his head, I recognized that this was the village chief I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Huh? Ah, yes, yes. You ......"

Her shoulders trembled slightly, and then she turned back to me and Yao and said sluggishly, but in that tone, it was difficult for others to hear except herself. Just as I was thinking about going up to ask, Yao, who had been sitting on the bench for a long time, stood up and walked towards the people gathered around the house without looking back.

"Hey—"

I exclaimed, but I obviously couldn't make Yao stop half a step, and in a matter of seconds, she was completely integrated into the sparkling fire outside the door. And she also had a slight chin in her jaw and followed with heavy steps.

In an instant, I was the only one left in the empty house, and the eyes of Wei Ming and the village chief also turned to me at the right time. Being so highly regarded by these two high-ranking leaders made me feel a little more unexpectedly honored.

It's just that this honor is something I can't choose.

"Oh, okay."

I sneered, and instead began to wonder how today's festival would end.

At this point, I had no choice but to let the vain courage in my chest lead me to the unknown danger.

Dawn was the darkest time of the day, the weak light of the torches could not penetrate the dense forest barriers, and the dark winding paths were covered with knee-high grass and ice crystal morning dew, which overturned and danced in the cold wind.

Yao and I walked in the center of the procession, and although we couldn't see clearly, judging by the number of torches, there should be no more than ten people with us to the place where the festival was held. Thinking about it, I squinted my eyes and looked at the village chief who was walking with Sty and Wei Fern, but for some reason, none of her two guards followed.

"Hey."

I leaned into Yao's ear and whispered,

"Wait, in case there is any danger, I will cover you and run first."

After finishing speaking, Ke Yao didn't even turn her eyes, she still walked forward without squinting, and the afterglow of the torch sprinkled on her face, shining as if it was a stiff sculpture.

"Huh!"

I was a little anxious, and my voice unconsciously amplified a little, and immediately a villager with a torch came up to me and glared at me viciously. I stared at the scar on the villager's face across my cheeks, and I was a little frightened, so I had to laugh and never dare to make any more movements. So, on the next journey, I not only lost the opportunity to communicate with Yao again, but also was forced to have an extra bodyguard who didn't look like a good stubble.

However, before I could be annoyed, the villagers in front of me stopped walking, and the sky was glowing with a little bright whiteness. I looked up and saw that the village chief, who had been with me along the way, turned around and shouted at us who were following us,

"It's here!"

Behind her, a clearing hidden in the woods, where a pitch-black obelisk shimmered in brilliant colors in the rising morning sun.

Then, Wei Ming left the group alone, and walked slowly towards the obelisk in the center of the clearing, every step was so deliberate, every step was so solemn, until he stood under the towering stone tablet, until the golden scepter was raised above his head. Like a high-spirited judge in the world, a military general wielding a sword on the battlefield! He opened his arms! To the newborn sun, to the towering mountaintops! Offer your own noble, holy prayers!

"Hands-on !!"

Unfortunately, this terrible scream did not come from Wei Ming's mouth.

I saw a bright green lightning bolt flying out! In the blink of an eye, there is a flash of silver! The sharp blade pierced Wei Ming's thin chest like a bamboo, and a few wisps of broken flesh and scarlet spurted out of it splashed on the surface of the smooth stone tablet like a blasphemous!

And the person behind Wei Ming, who holds the sword, is none other than Yu!

As if a hint was given, a few cold flashes flashed in the crowded line! Screams and wails came one after another, and the green grass was full of flying shards of internal organs, and corpses in different places with their heads!

It wasn't until there were only a few people left that I realized that the tragedy was actually going on.

"Yao! Come on! ”

I shouted as I turned my head sharply to look at me! But until all the oxygen between the lobes of the lungs had been depleted, I didn't see Yao in the gap of more than a foot—she was gone.

"Run? Little brother, where do you want to run? ”

A fierce voice sounded behind my ears, and a large, blood-stained hand clasped my shoulder. As if I were on the edge of an abyss, I twisted my neck with great difficulty, and found that the villager who had been next to me was pushing a hideous head in front of me!

"Damn! Rely on! ”

Looking at the throat with blood and joints attached to the bottom of my skull, I desperately retreated as if I had lost my soul! But no matter how hard I tried, that powerful giant hand always pressed firmly on my shoulder!

"Hahaha!"

As if both body and mind were greatly happy, the strong man laughed wildly and threw the fresh head in his hand on the ground, patted my back and comforted,

"Don't be nervous, my brothers won't do anything to you!"

But just then, he lowered his voice and came to my ear and roared,

"At least not now. Remember for me, I'm going to drink with your pig's head tonight! ”

After saying that, he let go of his hand playfully, and reported to the kind-looking old woman not far away,

"Village Chief! We didn't leave a living mouth for the surname Wei! ”

When the old woman heard this, the luster on her face had never been so rosy as it was now, and she grinned with jagged yellow teeth, and her voice was as hoarse as a vulture.

"Hahahahaha! Wei Ming, I want to see how you ———— now."

Slap, slap, slap, smack.

However, the village chief was only halfway through his words, and there was a burst of loose applause from behind the obelisk that stood on the monument. Then, in front of everyone's eyes, a figure that no one had expected walked out calmly.

"Wonderful, really wonderful."

Among the countless stunned pupils, the man in white was clearly Wei Ming, who had just died tragically on the spot!

"What? How-"

Although the village chief was shocked, he still turned his head and exclaimed,

"The !! of the Holy Maiden"

And she didn't dare to wait any longer, and pulled out the blade! Changed hands and slashed at the reborn Wei Ming! But at the moment when the blade was about to touch the white robe, a petite body rushed over and blocked the middle between Ying and Wei Ming.

"Sister."

A weak voice sounded, and her movements suddenly stopped! His eyes were full of incredible shock!

"Yao? Why—"

However, before she could understand the reason, Wei Ming's weird cold snort came from the side,

"Hmph, stupid."

The next moment, a circle of hollows suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of "Yao", and then the red blood line quickly cut down from the bottom of it! Passed through the immature face and rushed into its open neckline!

Just when she was stunned by this strange scene, "Yao's" body exploded violently with this bloodshot as the axis! Countless tentacles with fangs and claws burst out! Pounced on the terrified Pyne! Before it could react, it was swallowed whole by the cracked jaw, as if it had never appeared.

On the grass that had been dyed bright red, only Wei Ming with his hands behind his back and the bulging monster remained.

Then, Wei Ming slowly raised his head, his fierce eyes swept over the frozen faces of everyone present, and a majestic voice sounded from his mouth, as if from a barren hell,

"Welcome to Vivi fern, my Vivi fern!"

Sou!

The words just fell! The sound of breaking the wind in the forest curtain resounded in the sky! The afterimage of the flying lost screamed and sank into the eye socket of one of them! Before he could scream, the hapless villager fell to the ground, a lifeless corpse.

Whoosh!

Several more black shadows flashed, shattering the skulls of all the victims with precision, turning their fragile brains into filthy blood.

"Who?! Who is it?! Give Lao Tzu out!! ”

The strong man who was arrogant and domineering not long ago exclaimed as if he had lost his soul at this time, and at the same time shrunk his neck and looked around, his expression was like seeing a ghost,

"Kind of come out! Lao Tzu—"

But the fear, mixed with anger, did not last long, and the sharp wind swept by, and a pitch-black arrow feather suddenly appeared in the center of his forehead. After only a few shakes, the strong man stared at the protruding fish eyes and fell to the ground.

At this point, there was no sound in the jungle.

I looked at the corpses all over the ground, my brain was useless waste, blood rushing over the broken corpses, rolling up the foul smell that obscured all the tranquility of the morning.

"Wei ...... Wei Ming, why? Why?! ”

Suddenly, a roar of confusion sounded, and I looked ahead to see that the village chief had only been shot in the ankle. Then, as if remembering something, my hands kept groping my body, and it took me half a sound to make sure that the attack had not affected me.

"Hehe, the contemptible person is different from you, but he understands the use of his insignificant little life."

When I was relieved a lot, Wei Ming had already walked slowly to the village chief, looked down at the person who was still breathing at his feet and said,

"Seven years ago, the despised people first entered this place, but thanks to your help, they survived. And the contemptible man knows that he has nothing to repay, so he has to use all his life's learning to teach you how to control this stupid people. ”

Wei Ming suddenly lowered his head and looked at the village chief with a smile,

"Faith. Do you remember? ”

After speaking, he straightened up again and continued to preach unhurriedly around the village chief with a gloomy face,

"Just. Since the contemptible man assumed the position of his sacrifice, the power in your hands has diminished day by day. Presumably, when I see the grand occasion again, I must be full of regret in my heart! And with the return of the so-called 'Holy Maiden' and the growing stability of the Holy See, you conclude that this is the perfect time to kill the enemy and stop the hearts of the people under his command! And where else can this great cause be exercised?! ”

At the end of the speech, Wei Ming spread his arms wide, as if everything in the world was under his control.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the village chief hurriedly shouted towards Wei Ming,

"What about you! What do you want? Right?! Wealth?! These old decays can be given to you! ”

But hearing her promise, Wei Ming just smiled and shook his head, then slowly squatted, looked at the village chief's eyes and said coldly,

"The thing that the contemptible people want is the cultivation pool under Wei Ming!"
