Chapter 211: Blood Pool
The mountain baby apparently didn't expect us two sinister humans to finally attack him, his short limbs waving helplessly in the air, flying towards the swarthy cavern.
Just as he was about to scream in horror, a big hand covered his mouth... To be precise, it should have held his face.
I've seen it a long time ago, and there is actually a staircase under this cave, and I don't know where it leads, but the little mountain baby is too small to see clearly, so I think there is a bottomless abyss below.
"Alright, don't blow his head out."
I looked at the little mountain baby whose head was held by Zhang Mu and whose body was still struggling, and I couldn't help but show a trace of unbearable look. This stupid big guy is too special a tiger.
Zhang Mugan laughed and put the little mountain baby on the ground.
"Little thing, you still have to come with us, in case I find out that you want to play tricks. He's going to blow your head like he did just now! ”
I crouched down and threatened him.
Although Xiaoshan Baby's skin is tough and can block knives and axes, being pinched by Zhang Mu's head like that is definitely a terrifying experience. The little thing finally showed a look of fear. He nodded timidly and followed us.
Seeing that this little guy was quite honest, I began to look at the cave, the stairs under my feet were spiraling down, it seemed to be a big project, and I don't know if it was excavated by these monks themselves, or if it was originally here.
It was pitch black everywhere, and even the steps under our feet were a little invisible, except for the faint red glow emanating from the depths of the deep cavern.
"Let's go down."
I whispered and walked slowly down with the others.
Zhang Mu walked in front with a long sword in his hand and An Yihan to open the way, and I followed behind them, next to the little mountain baby. The two little girls followed closely behind me, and Zhu Yan stayed behind the hall at the end of the line.
The air in the cave was not circulating, and the further down we went, the more dull it became, and we didn't dare to turn on the flashlight to illuminate the way, so we could only touch it step by step by feeling.
I don't know how long I walked, but there was a light below, and torches were inserted on both sides of the stairs for lighting!
Is the thing here a human or a ghost?
I couldn't help but slow down and become more cautious.
With the bright light, the whole picture of the entire underground world can probably be seen clearly, and in the depths of this cave, there is a huge red pool of blood, and the strong smell of blood is emitted from there.
"Dada~"
Footsteps sounded, and I hurriedly pulled them into a shadow where no light could be found, and continued to stare at the situation below. From the depths of the cave, three people wrapped in red robes slowly came out. Walking slowly and stiffly, the three men walked to the edge of the pool of blood and lit several torches near it.
Then the torch lit up, and I couldn't help but gasp.
The ground next to the pool of blood was full of dried corpses, many of them animals, but many of them were mountain babies!
The mountain babies seemed to have been drained of blood, and their tiny bodies looked like worn rag dolls. Thrown to the ground at any time, their expressions were very painful, their golden eyes had turned a dim brown, and their small mouths were unwillingly open, revealing their fangs inside, which looked eerie and terrifying.
What surprised me even more was that there were quite a few human corpses on the ground, and those corpses were all monks in the temple without exception! They were wearing extremely recognizable Indian monk's robes, and with their withered faces, I couldn't have been mistaken.
What the fuck is going on! My scalp is starting to tingle, aren't these red-robed people human? But looking at their appearance, it seems that they are carrying out some kind of cult ritual, if it weren't for the original Ah San monks in the human temple, would the ghosts still seem to have nothing to do with the ritual again?
Or, these red-robed people are the Ah San monks in the temple, and the dry corpses lying on the ground are their companions. The truth of the matter may be that they used their companions as sacrifices. I have gathered enough blood for such a large pool.
If it's really the second case, then we really have to be careful, the guy who can be ruthless to his peers will definitely be more ruthless against the enemy!
A platform was built above the pool of blood. The three men walked up slowly, standing quietly on the platform, as if waiting for something.
The footsteps sounded again, and there were about twenty red-robed people who came this time. One of them was also dressed in a black robe.
"Fuck, where did these people come from!"
Zhang Mu cursed in a low voice, so frightened that I quickly covered his mouth, for fear that he would attract the attention of these people.
We tried to keep the sound of breathing as low as possible. I'm afraid this group of people will notice us. Fortunately, the place we are in is very hidden, and although more and more people gather, no one is aware of our presence.
The three red-robed men carried the three sacks onto the platform and put the sacks down. They went down again, silently gathering around the pool of blood with the other red-robed people.
The whole cave suddenly fell silent, and all the red-robed people stopped their movements, silently watching the man in the black robe slowly walk onto the platform.
The black-robed man walked onto the platform and stood still. He raised his hands high and shouted something I didn't understand, and the other red-robed people followed suit.
Well, this isn't a cult scene.
I stared at the people below. I wondered. If these people are all Ah San, why did they come to China? Our attitude toward cults here is harsher than the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and isn't it more difficult for these people to come here to make things happen? Or or. What other purpose did they come to China?
My brow furrowed, and I didn't blink my eyes.
The black-robed man began an impassioned speech, he danced around the platform, and even jumped up and down when he said it. For a moment I thought he was going to jump into a pool of blood to die for his gods.
After a long five minutes passed, the black-robed man finally finished his tirade, and the group raised their hands and chanted something, and the beginning of the ritual was completed.
There was calm again in the cavern, only this time, there was a disturbing commotion hidden beneath the calm.
Even though I couldn't see the faces of the red-robed men, I could still see the excited eyes under their hoods. It was an almost pathological paranoia and longing, and they looked eagerly at the black-robed man. It was like a pack of hungry vicious dogs, waiting for the pieces of fresh meat stained with scarlet blood.
The black-robed man slowly bent down, pulled out a small crooked dagger from the side of his boot, and gently held it in his hand. He walked towards a red-robed man on the platform. The man obediently cooperated with him to the edge of the platform.
The black-robed man suddenly made a move and ripped off the hood on the red-robed man's head, and the red-robed man underground suddenly cheered, as if he was in a carnival.
The black-robed man raised his hands again. Listening to the cheers of the people below, it was a young man who had his hood ripped off, his expression was very serene, as if he was going to do something that was supposed to be done.
He slowly craned his neck. Poked his head out of the edge of the platform, and at the same time, the black-robed man grabbed his hair violently, and the dagger in his hand slashed at his neck!
The red-robed people below cheered wildly again.
A blood-colored fountain erupted from the young man's throat, into the pool of blood below, and into the faces of the frenzied crowd.
This group of people is actually sacrificing their own people!
I was shocked, this was the first time I had seen a cult with my own eyes, and their wickedness and violence far exceeded my imagination. These people can lie dormant in this deep underground and not get out, they must be plotting something amazing, once they really make their realization, it may really be like the little mountain baby said, the outside will be ruined.
"Brother~"
Fluttershy and Yin are visibly scared. Both of them stretched out their little hands and grabbed the corners of my clothes, and I quickly turned my head, held their little hands, and gently comforted them.
The people under the platform roared like a party. Dancing like a group of demons, the black-robed man cut the throats of the remaining two red-robed people in this hellish situation, and then kicked their corpses down and fell to the edge of the pool of blood.
The excited crowd was quiet for a while, they watched with their eyes in anticipation, the black-robed man bent down and opened a sack, took out the contents and held them high in his hands, and the crowd was ignited again, and let out a cheer that was even more violent than just now.
Thanks to the fact that this is deep underground, if it is still in the temple, it is estimated that the sound of this carnival can be heard within a radius of ten miles.
The little mountain baby beside me suddenly shuddered violently, I hurriedly looked at it, and sure enough, what the black-robed man was holding in his hand was a mountain baby who was still struggling.
If it is not enough to sacrifice one's companions, do you still have to sacrifice the mountain baby?
What kind of wild way are these people playing?
I stared nervously at the little mountain baby next to me, for fear that he would not be able to resist rushing out and exposing our position.
"The blood and aura of the mountain baby is very abundant... No wonder the companions... Companions are dwindling! It turns out..."
Xiao Shan's babyish body trembled, and his golden pupils lit up like jewels.
Nimbus?
It dawned on me that it was no wonder that these people were crazy about capturing mountain babies, it turned out that they wanted their blood. But what is the use of this pool of blood?
I looked at the pool of blood that bubbled from time to time underneath, and my heart was full of doubts.
"If you can't bear to look at it, don't look at it... it! ”
Zhang Mu comforted the little mountain baby softly, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly shouted.
Before I could turn my head, a black figure had already passed me and rushed straight towards the group below.
This little mountain baby! I did it alone!
