609. Sacrifice to the gods

Situ's words made Su Huilan wake up like a dream. She had always felt that something was interfering with her conscious judgment, like tentacles messing around in her mental world, influencing her decisions.

She thinks that her mental strength is still strong and she can still have auditory hallucinations, so it is not surprising that Alice can see the resurrected Halsey. It was probably just a dream she had after being hypnotized!

It's just that Mrs. Larry at that time seemed very sober, although her willpower was much stronger than Alice's, but she was just an ordinary person, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Aoki felt that it was unlikely, the Itessa people did not have the Divine Staff in their hands, they could not mobilize the spiritual force field on the island, and they only relied on the superposition of the spirits of the three tribes of savages themselves, how could they be so strong?

"If it's really so strong, those priests don't have to agree to negotiate at all, just more than 1,000 people can form a formation and push it over." He said.

Situ said, "It should be that the altar has some kind of channel to connect with other spiritual energies, so their spiritual formation can't leave the altar. ”

Aoki narrowed his eyes and looked at the three suns in the sky, "Could there be a third party?" ”

"It's hard to say." Situ also glanced up.

Su Huilan also raised her head unconsciously. Whenever she saw three suns in the sky, she felt that the world was very illusory.

Dewar, who had been silent, said: "The Itsaans and we don't seem to be fake when they negotiate, at least subconsciously there is no element of deception." ”

Situ nodded, "This is also what I am puzzled about, it would be ideal if the Itesa people could unite, they are more familiar with Ramla than we are, activating the five altars is not a small project, without their help, it will be difficult for us to complete." And there are only three tribes here, and aside from the fact that the Tosho tribe, which represents fire, has been eliminated by Ronald Cohen, we have to at least face the Chayak tribe, which represents ice. ”

"It's all just speculation right now, we can't wait here, we have to go ashore and help them," Aoki said. ”

As he spoke, he took out a wicker stick from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, handed it to Su Huilan along with the wood soul in his hand, and said, "Help me take it, I'll go get the boat." Without even taking off the board, he jumped off the side of the ship, making a splash with a pop.

Before Su Huilan could react, there were two more things in her hand.

The ebony staff was a little heavy, and it had a very strange feeling when held in the hand, as if it were alive. Fortunately, it is not as hot as the soul of fire, but it gives people a sense of oppression from the vicissitudes of life, as if they are in a dense primeval forest.

However, Su Huilan's attention was all on the wicker.

When she was on the island of Tubuai, she knew that Aoki had this wicker in her backpack. Of course, she also knew the significance of the willow in Chinese culture, and guessed the origin of the willow.

It's just that she didn't expect that after experiencing so many dangers, the bag would have been lost a long time ago, and even her life was almost lost, but Aoki still put this wicker on her body.

The wicker was still glowing with green, as if it had never left the land, and it did not look like it was going to dry up at all, and a few young shoots had just emerged from the branches, slightly open, like a baby's mouth, looking for the mother's chest.

Su Huilan actually felt a trace of warmth from the wicker, like the feeling when she watched the snow melt in front of her house when she was a child and greeted the first spring breeze.

She suddenly remembered home, remembered her father, remembered everything on earth.

A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and landed on the back of her hand, crystal clear, reflecting the sunlight and the greenery of the wicker on her hand.

For the first time, she felt the power of life.

There were lush woods on the shore of the lake in the distance, but those trees, grass, and flowers had never made Su Huilan feel like this. It's all from another world, it doesn't belong to her, and she doesn't belong to this world.

She suddenly understood why Aoki was carrying this wicker all the time. But for some reason, a faint sense of loss rose from the bottom of her heart, making her hesitate and overwhelmed.

By the time she came to her senses, Aoki had swam far away, and was soon gone, except for the waves that swam after he swam towards the Swordfish.

When Aoki reappeared in the field of vision, he was already standing on a raft, wet, with his hair close to his face, a trench coat wrapped around his waist, and a long penny in his hand, which reminded Su Huilan of the stone monkey who crossed the ocean to seek immortality in Journey to the West.

The raft leaned against the side of the destroyer, and Aoki put a gangway on a fence and beckoned upwards, "Come down!" ”

Needless to say, the three Situ were already walking down the gangway.

Su Huilan stepped onto the raft, returned the soul of wood and wicker to Aoki, looked at his embarrassed appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said, "It's rare to see you change your appearance." ”

Aoki and the others got on the raft, so he walked to the end of the raft and pushed the raft away with a pestle on the hull of the ship.

Su Huilan heard his footsteps, only then did she notice the slap board on his feet and said, "Is your slap board stuck to the soles of your feet?" You won't fall off when you swim! ”

Aoki avoided the weight and said lightly: "If you drop it, it will float." ”

Su Huilan suddenly remembered that it was not the first time that such a miraculous thing happened, when he was washed here by the water from the Sanchi tribe through the backward waterfall, his slap board did not fall, but no one paid attention to it when he experienced such a dangerous situation at first glance.

She looked at Aoki, looked at Situ, and saw Dewar, who she had just met, and suddenly felt that there were monsters around her, and there was no normal person. But when you think about it, how can this be a normal world? Even she herself isn't necessarily a normal person!

She pursed her lips, asked no more, and looked to the shore, where the most important thing now was to find Lady Larry and Alice.

Maybe it was because of the warm sun, but when she turned around, she saw that Aoki's body was no longer so wet, and it had returned to its original state.

Su Huilan couldn't help but be in a trance, wondering if this guy had been in the water just now, or if it was her own fantasy. But in that case, where did the raft they ride come from?

At this time, they saw a small boat rowing out from the shore of the lake opposite. A crow roared in the sky, and the coal boss appeared in view.

"Quack, they've been kidnapped by savages! Quack, kidnapped! The crow crowed as it landed on top of Aoki's head.

"Slow down, tell me clearly, what do you see?"

"Whoa, I saw Lady Larry and Alice tied to two great pillars with firewood piled underneath, and the savages were going to burn them! Savages want to eat people! They're about to turn into skewers and sauced meat! ”

"Where?"

"Quack at the altar!"

"You said it was tied to two big tall pillars?"

"Yes."

Of course, Aoki knew that savages would eat people, and he and Su Huilan had seen them roast people on the fire to eat, but why were they tied to very high pillars?

"Is it ignition?" He asked.

"I didn't croaking when I left, and I don't know about it now!"

"What were the wildlings doing when you saw them?"

"I'm chanting! Hmm......" the crow thought for a moment, tilting her head, "could it be a pre-dinner prayer?" ”

"Oops!" Situ said, "The Itesa will sacrifice them to the gods!" ”
