Prologue 9 Strange Sacrificial Rituals

Suddenly, the ground to the right of the altar began to sink.

There was a sound of stone slabs clashing, and a wide passage appeared underground, and the passage was pitch black, and I didn't know where it led.

After waiting for a while, nothing came out, and Qi You was ready to go in and find out.

Just as Qi You's consciousness was about to enter the corridor, there was a heavy footstep sound inside. After a while, dozens of heavily armed giant pawns walked out of the corridor.

I saw that they were dressed in a pair of bronze armor, and a belt made of animal skins was tied around their waists; On his head he wore a bronze helmet with a few colorful feathers; Wear a pair of black animal skin boots underneath.

All of these giants were about 2.5 meters tall, and they wore a bronze sword at their waist and a wooden bow tied to their backs. The tallest giant was almost 3 meters tall and held a large bronze nail rod in his hand.

They don't look like the giants you dreamed of before, and they're slimmer, so you guess they might be cavalrymen.

"But how big of a mount do you have to be to be able to carry them?" Qi Yu thought.

At first, he was worried that they would find out, and he didn't know how to deal with these fierce people.

As a result, the giant soldiers turned a blind eye to him, and consciously lined up around the altar in a certain formation.

"It seems that they can't see me." Qi You muttered to himself, now he was relieved.

……

After the dozens of giant soldiers were assembled, some slaves came out of the corridor one after another.

The size of these slaves was very small compared to the size of the giant soldiers, only about 1.8 to 1.9 meters. They were dressed in thin linen clothes, and walked barefoot on the ground, without even shoes.

The slaves struggled to pull a dozen bronze and wood prisoner carts with ropes, and in the carts were kept in a number of barking animals.

Isn't these animals rats, black bulls, tigers, hares, pythons, wild horses, goats, monkeys, chickens, dogs, and wild boars?

"Hey, the last car of dragon-like animals can't be Komodo dragons, right?" Qi You was surprised.

"The Komodo dragon, also known as the five-clawed golden dragon, is the largest lizard ever found and is currently found on the islands of Indonesia and the Gambia in Africa." This information flashed through Qi Yu's mind.

The slaves pulled the twelve carts of animals to the edge of the altar and placed them in the corresponding positions of the zodiac statues. Then he stood on the other side of the altar, not daring to come within ten meters of the altar.

"It seems that these statues are really weird." Qi Yu affirmed his judgment again.

Eventually, out of the corridor came five strangely dressed guys, their faces covered in imprints of various colors.

"These people may be their sacrifices!" Chiyu guessed.

When these five sacrifices walked out of the corridor.

With a bang, all the giant pawns and slaves knelt in the direction of the altar.

The priests began to dance exaggeratedly, waving their hands and muttering incantations they didn't understand.

After the incantation was recited, the five priests also walked ten meters away from the altar.

I saw that the leading priest made a gesture with his hand, and I didn't know what he did, and a lot of bright red blood flowed from under all the prisoner carts in an instant.

The animals that had been called were also as if they had been anesthetic, and they all stopped calling and did not move.

At this time, he realized that the ground around the altar was slightly higher than the center of the altar.

Below the statue of the Zodiac there are twelve shallow ditches that extend to the place where the twelve prisoner carts are placed.

The blood from the prisoner's cart flowed down the ditches to the altar.

……

When the altar completely absorbed the twelve bloods, the statues of the twelve zodiac signs that had been in a static state seemed to be resurrected, and all of them moved.

In an instant, the Bagua Array in the middle of the altar also rotated, from slow to fast, and gradually emitted an inky halo.

A dazzling light flashed, and even the ruler of the conscious state had to close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he found that a silver object had suddenly appeared in the air above the center of the altar.

"This, isn't this the silver ball my mother gave me?" Qi You was stunned.

What surprised him even more was that the sacrificial leader ignored it and walked straight to the altar. Then he took out a wooden box from his bosom, went to the center of the altar, and directly filled the silver ball floating in the air.

"Isn't he affected?" Chiyu wondered.

However, soon Shakuyou had an answer, because he found that this sacrificial leader was wearing a dark gold round jade.

When the sacrificial leader walked into the ten meters of the altar, the runes carved on the jade began to emit a faint light.

"This jade should be a magic weapon, it can actually block the spiritual erosion of this zodiac statue."

Just as he was about to fly over to check on the jade, the space shifted again.

---------------------------------------------------

His consciousness came to a vast and boundless plain, where two powerful primordial armies were stationed.

One side holds a yellow banner with a wyvern dragon with teeth and claws, and there are about 100,000 troops.

On the other side held a black banner with a black giant bird painted on it, and there were about fifty or sixty thousand troops.

Why are they primitive armies?

Because in addition to the fact that the two sides of the battle have more personnel and more neat formations, their equipment is also too simple.

Of all the soldiers who participated in the battle, only a few of the giants had armor. Ordinary soldiers wore only leather armor and had only a bronze weapon in their hands.

These weapons are also varied, short swords, short knives, spears, hooked sickles, axes, hammers, wooden bows, everything.

As for the high-end goods such as shield carts, ballista carts, chariots, and catapults, they are not even mentioned.

There were even quite a few relatively short slave soldiers on the battlefield, who wore linen clothes, armed with wooden sticks and bamboo guns, and began to charge, and they were still at the front.

"It's not like you're here for a war, it's like you're here for an antique weapons exhibition." Qi Yu muttered to himself.

……

When it was time for the battle to begin, the mountains and fields were full of people, and the neat formations of the two sides when they assembled were scattered.

In addition to the slaves who were first used as cannon fodder, the second group of people who charged into battle were giant pawns.

I saw those giants who were more than 2.5 meters tall, wielding a palm-wide bronze double-edged sword in their hands, which could slash two or three enemies with a single sword. Covered in armor, they didn't need any protection, and rushed directly to the enemy camp position.

After breaking through the slave camp in front, the giants of both sides are about to clash.
