Chapter 257: Ancient Sacrifices
A wave of unsettled waves
White python ghost sacrifice
I don't know how long it took, but the bearded man heard a strange roar coming from a distance. The voice was low, sounding like some kind of creature squeezing a "whin" out of its throat.
At first, the low roar was chaotic, coming and going, but slowly, the low roar became closer, more and more, and more urgent.
Eventually, the roars began to become regular, and the slow and rapid rhythm sounded like some unknown "ensemble".
The bearded man slowly opened his eyes and found that he was tied to a stone pillar at this moment.
The bearded man was shocked, he wanted to scream, but he found that he had no strength in his whole body, not only his hands and feet were weak, but he couldn't even open his mouth, and the muscles in his throat seemed to have lost sensation, and he didn't listen to his own call at all.
No matter how hard the beard tried, he could only make a voice like a kitten's coquettishness.
The bearded man tried his best to look left and right, and found that it was not only him who was tied to the stone pillar at this time, but also Liu Junxiao and Li Ergou were also tied to the stone pillar.
This room was not the stone house where they had been before, and the bearded man and Liu Junxiao had not been here.
Compared to the previous semi-artificial stone house, this place is obviously much more shabby, and it looks completely natural. The countless pale blue crystal stones on the walls exude a faint blue light, flickering and darkening, setting off this stone house extremely terrifying.
Compared to the previous stone house, it was much larger, with a total of twelve stone pillars arranged in a semicircular shape, enclosing a large pool in it.
The pool was filled with a black-red liquid that smelled fishy.
At first, the bearded man didn't know what the black-red liquid was, but as the black-red liquid continued to gush out of the bones and mutilations of various animals, and even human bones inside, the bearded man realized that the liquid in the pool was actually blood.
In addition, there were not only the three of them in this stone house, but also densely packed with all kinds of dwarf mules of all kinds and sizes at a distance of about one meter and a half from the blood pool.
The mules seemed to be afraid of the pool of blood, but they were in reverence for it.
One by one, they danced with solemn expressions, and from time to time they let out "woo...... Woo ......" roar, as if he was praying some kind of mysterious and eerie prayer.
There was a circle-shaped stone table near the center of the blood pool, and three human heads were placed on the stone table, and when the bearded man saw these three human heads, the whole person couldn't help but gasp.
He recognized these three heads, they were none other than Lao Li, Xiao An, and the Miao family man who didn't even know his name when he entered the forest with him before.
The bearded man suddenly felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he struggled twice to find that he could not exert his strength at all.
The bearded man turned his head to look at Liu Junxiao, and found that Liu Junxiao was still in a coma, and streams of blood flowed from under his left ribs.
"Brother Liu...... Brother Liu...... Wake up...... Wake up! The bearded man gritted his teeth, and it took a lot of effort to make a sound.
However, his voice was so low that he tried to shout a few times to no avail.
And at this time, the dwarf mules who kept roaring suddenly became restless, and the dwarf mules in front of the stone table wanted to retreat on both sides, flashing a path.
Immediately after, the thin monkey appeared in the bearded man's eyes.
Only this time the skinny monkey was not himself, and he also held a dwarf mule in his arms, the female dwarf mule with a big belly.
I didn't see him for a while, and the thin monkey seemed to have completely changed into a person, his whole body seemed to be completely drained, the skin on his whole body became dry and full of wrinkles, and his straight waist was almost bent into a hello. From a distance, the thin monkey turned into a living old man in a very short period of time, an old man with only skin and bones left.
But what's even more weird is that even so, when the thin monkey walked over with the short mule, his face unconsciously revealed a look of pride, joy, and even pride, as if he was a king, holding his unparalleled beauty concubine at this time, walking through the country he had laid down.
The thin monkey carried the dwarf mule all the way to the stone table in front of the blood pool, and gently placed the dwarf mule with a big belly on the stone table.
Immediately afterward, the thin monkey slowly dragged off his shirt, revealing his dry and blackened skin, drew a very strange symbol on his chest with his right index finger, and then began to wave his hands, muttering some unintelligible syllables in his mouth.
The skinny monkey's strange behavior is like a jumping god in the Northeast, his movements are full first and then fast, and his voice is getting louder and louder, bursting with "woo...... Woo ......" The roar filled the entire stone house in an instant.
The other dwarf mules slowly began to swing their upper limbs with the thin monkey, and the roar was so loud that the whole stone house trembled slightly.
The sound was like a steel needle, constantly stimulating the eardrums and hitting the human brain, and the beard clenched his teeth, panting hard, trying to make himself feel better, but no matter what he did, it was in vain, because the sound seemed to have crossed his eardrums and reached the nerves in his brain, and every time the mules roared, it was as if a steel knife had been pierced in his head.
And it seems that it is not only the bearded man who suffers this pain.
The dwarf mule lying on the stone table seemed to be in more pain than he was, and as the roar became more and more rapid and loud, the big-bellied mule began to let out a wail, and its big round belly began to shake incessantly, and one bulge after another swelled up, as if the contents were about to burst out at any moment.
And it was not only the bearded man and the big-bellied mule that were uneasy, as the strange roar in the mouth of the thin monkey rose and fell, the black-red pool of blood also began to become restless, and as one after another basin-sized bubbles continued to rise and burst, the blood in the pool of blood seemed to be boiling for a while, setting off countless splashes, and then a white object slowly poked out of the pool of blood.
Snake, a white python.
Slowly poking its head out of the pool of blood was a huge white python.
I saw that the white python was fifteen or sixteen meters long, and the scales on its body flashed with a light blue light, as if the head the size of a water tank kept swaying from side to side, and countless wreckage and severed limbs were thrown around, and countless blood water was splashed outside the blood pool, falling to the ground, and some splashed on the short mules that were closer, and instantly raised a puff of black smoke, and the dwarf mules that were in pain were lying on the ground and rolling and wailing.
The white python didn't seem to have any interest in the mules at all, its blood-red eyes stared at the mule on the stone table, or more precisely, it seemed to care only about the thing in the belly of the mule on the stone table.
Seeing the white python slowly leaning out, the thin monkey became even more excited, and he danced harder, saying that it was strange that the white python seemed to understand what the thin monkey was muttering.
Slowly, it began to sway to the rhythm of the skinny monkey's dance, to the left and to the right, and it looked like an ancient Egyptian snake player.
The thin monkey jumped for a long time like a great god, and suddenly reached out and picked up Lao Li's head on the stone table, and drew that strange symbol in the air again with his right hand, and then he threw Lao Li's head into the pool of blood with a wave of his hand.
When the white python saw the human head thrown in, it unceremoniously grabbed Lao Li's head, and then swallowed it in a big gulp.
It looked like a five or six-year-old had swallowed a piece of his favorite candy.
After throwing Lao Li's head, the thin monkey threw the heads of Xiao An and another Miao family man into the pool of blood without stopping.
Maybe it's been a long time since I've eaten such a good "snack", but the white python actually swallowed all three human heads into its stomach in one go.
After dealing with the heads of Lao Li and the three of them, the thin monkey stretched out the index finger of his right hand, I don't know why the thin monkey originally had no abnormal hand, at this time it looked like a monkey's claw, the fingers were thin and long, and the nails were extremely sharp.
I saw the thin monkey scratch the artery of his left wrist with his index finger, and a stream of blood spurted out instantly.
The thin monkey looked at the blood gushing from his arm, and it seemed that there was no pain at all.
He turned around and strode in front of the bearded three of them, tore the shirt of the nearest Liu Military Academy, and dipped his hand in the blood on his left wrist, drawing the same strange symbol on Liu Military Academy's chest.
It was a circular symbol, and within the circle there was a pattern that resembled a cross and a "fire" superimposed on top of each other, and the circle around the pattern was more appropriately a snake in a circle than a circle.
What pattern is this?
What exactly does this pattern mean?
Why did the ancient tree dungeon and this place have the same pattern before?
Could it be that there is some mysterious connection between them?
Are these dwarf mules really just a bunch of ordinary mandrills?
If they are just ordinary mandrills, just ordinary ape creatures, then what is the matter with these sacrificial activities and this mysterious cave?
No one knows the answer.
No one can give this answer either.
Or perhaps, the one who knows the answers to these things has already met Hades.
