Chapter 25: The Sacrifice
After resting for about twenty minutes, the clothes outside had been half-baked, Xiao Lengyan gave us a little more food, and I saw that the complexion of the black mist was obviously much better.
We set out again, and we were carrying the sticks that had not been burned.
"Ahead, turn right, and you can see the real altar." After walking for a long time, the black mist suddenly spoke.
After finishing speaking, he tightened his clothes, and stared at the long aisle on the right with dark eyes, which was no different from the one we walked all the way to, but if it was a sacrificial platform on the right, what was the place on the left?
"Where's that over there?" I point to the left.
"That should be the burial area of the previous tomb, if you are afraid, find a way to go back." Black Mist's gaze was always fixed on the long walkway to the right.
The floor of the walkway is smooth, as if it has been polished for many years, and there is no unevenness on the ground.
Xiao Lengyan raised his feet and walked in the direction of the sacrificial platform, and as he walked, he also reminded us that the ground was slippery, so we should be careful.
With every step we take, we instinctively stumble and lean our body completely forward.
After walking to the end of this walkway, it is really as the black fog said, in front of it is a stone room with an offering table, this stone room is very large, and there are porcelain bowls on the table, but the contents of these bowls have been black and hard, and I can't see what it is at all.
Xiao Lengyan looked around the stone room, and finally looked at me and the black mist: "You guys are waiting for me here, I'll go inside and have a look." ”
Inside what Xiao Lengyan said was the arched door in front of the stone room.
"Master Xiao, I'll go with you." Looking at the arched door, I had a sense of foreboding.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, but you have to promise me that you will be right here and not leave for a single step." Xiao stared at me coldly, his eyes were very serious.
"But Xiao Ye, are you alone?" I thought that in the dark, Xiao Lengyan was easily attacked by that "monster".
"I'll take this flashlight, and I'll be back before your torches run out." Xiao said coldly, and without waiting for me to speak again, he walked directly into the arched door.
His footsteps were already soft, so in less than a few seconds, there was a terrible silence all around.
Black Mist walked up to my side and tugged at my arm, and I looked back at him.
"He can't come back, let's go." Along the way, Black Mist pondered for a long time, and finally decided to make a last stand.
"If you want to go, you go by yourself, I will wait here for Xiao Ye to come back." I sat down slowly as I watched the arched door, and saw the torches close to me to keep warm.
Black Mist crouched down and looked at me, although he was younger than me, he could see the current situation clearly.
He knew very well that he had no way to move Xiao Lengran, but now that Xiao Lengran was not leaving, then he would have a chance to persuade me to go with him.
"I can't leave you alone." After he finished speaking, he looked at the aisle outside: "That person really can't come back, why is this forbidden place called the Forest of No Return?" That's because, after entering the territory of the gods, all living creatures will be turned into sacrifices, and in front of it is Hachime's lair, and your friend may have been eaten by now. ”
The Mandarin of the black fog, at this time, can be said to be very slippery.
In fact, he followed his brother, and he must have done bad things, and at the moment of life and death, I don't believe that he cares so much about the life of a stranger like us, the only possible reason is that he is also afraid.
He needed someone to walk out of here with him.
My determination and attitude are already here, and there is no need to say anything more.
Black Mist didn't react to me for a long time, and he was a little disappointed, but soon, he pursed his lips and nodded at me.
The look and expression in his eyes were like giving up on me.
"Since you chose to die here with him, then you give me the gun." Black Mist said as he held out his hand to me.
It turned out that after talking for a long time, it was the idea to shoot me.
"Nope." I refused.
In such a place, if you don't have a weapon on your body, you can't protect yourself at all.
Black Mist pursed his lips and stared at me: "You've already decided to die here, what are you doing with a gun?" ”
This boy, who still had a childish look on his face, actually spoke, and there was a breath in his eyes.
This kind of aura is too familiar to me, this is a murderous aura, a kind of eyes that only reveal when you want to kill.
This kind of look made me immediately defensive, and I reached out and felt the gun in my bag, which pointed directly at the black mist.
The black mist was stunned for a moment, and the fierce expression immediately retracted, turning into an innocent and pitiful demeanor.
"I just want to live, I want to go out and see my brother one last time." The black mist said that the inside of the dark eyes quickly turned red, and there were crystal tears about to overflow the eyes.
If he hadn't looked at me before, I might have been moved by his tears, and maybe he would have given him the gun.
However, after seeing his fierce eyes, I thought to myself, this black mist, although young, is very likely to be as vicious as his brother, maybe after taking a gun, he will force me to go with him.
Thinking of this, I yelled at the black mist: "Don't lean over, go over there!" ”
I motioned for him to keep a distance of about two meters from me, fearing that he would be agile, and if he suddenly pounced and snatched the gun from my hand, then I would probably not be able to parry, so I simply guarded a little first.
Hei Wu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his trick to work, but he still didn't move, looking at me pitifully.
"Okay, I don't want a gun, but at least let me get closer to you so we can all be warm." Black Mist is going to sit next to me when he finishes speaking.
"I said, let you pass!" I couldn't help but raise my voice, and my face became very solemn.
Hei Wu was stunned, and saw that my expression was not good, so he nodded obediently and sat a meter away from me, his eyes glancing at the gun in my hand from time to time.
Because of the black mist, I didn't dare to stare at the arched entrance, but instead distracted some of my attention from the black mist.
"Eh, what's that sound?" In less than two minutes, the black mist suddenly stood up and took a step towards me with his feet raised.
"What for?" I raised my gun warily at him.
"No, you listen, something seems to be coming towards us!" Black Mist's small eyes widened, and his expression didn't look like he was lying.
