Chapter 5: Reflections Under the Stars

Sacrifices have been around for almost as long as the universe has existed, and generally speaking, sacrifices are divided into two categories, summoning sacrifices and forbidden offerings. www.biquge.info The so-called summoning sacrifice is to sacrifice some precious bodies and treasures to the demons hiding in the hell, so as to obtain their response and appearance, and when the warlock pays enough sacrifices, he can even get the demon's permanent following.

The forbidden sacrifice is a manifestation of the laws of hell, and although the forbidden art can only be used once, it far surpasses magic and arcane in terms of damage and control.

Note: Some mad warlocks will even sacrifice their bodies to gain incredible powers, often referred to as pain warlocks

――――"A Survey of the History and Characteristics of Sacrifices, Volume 9"

From the Warlock's Book tutorial, it was learned that this short ritual was just an entry-level trial sacrifice. Because of the quality of the sacrifice, the connection between the sacrifice and the demon was so short and fragile that the blood imp could only appear in front of Xu Mo for a short time. If Xu Mo was able to sacrifice ten times the blood of this sacrifice, then he would be able to gain a permanent following of the Blood Imp, although he still had to beware of the demon's rebellion.

But fortunately, Xu Mo left the ritual after only facing the blood imp for a while. Because even he didn't know if he would be so scared that he peed his pants if he stayed with that terrifying existence for a while.

Xu Mo sat on the lawn weakly, his brain was blank, he grew up in the city, he hadn't even seen a few dogs without chains, even if he went to the zoo to play, he was just across the river to enjoy the demeanor of those kings of the grassland. However, just now, he saw that incomparably terrifying demon with his own eyes! The demon he thought would never exist!

Although the traces of saliva on Xu Mo's face had been wiped away, it seemed that because the demon had a special body, he felt a corrosive pain in his cheeks. This pain constantly reminded him of how dangerous the situation just now was!

The Warlock's Book emerged from the purple light again.

Main Quest: Sacrificial Ritual

Mission Description: Warlocks cannot stay away from the devil of the abyss, the demon of hell from the moment of birth. It should be noted that the types of demon clans are extremely diverse, ranging from inferior demons with humble bloodlines to satanic demons that make the gods tremble. The Devil is only one race, the Devil Race is very sparsely populated, and they are very good at stirring people's hearts and seducing people to sign strange contracts. Now, it's time to meet the demons!

Reward: Open the space backpack slot and get a backpack space slot.

Mission Time Limit: None

The golden light flashed, and the words "Mission Accomplished" appeared on the Book of Warlocks. On the other page, there are a number of neatly arranged small compartments, and although most of them are gray, the one in the very corner glows with a soft yellow glow, indicating that things can be stored in it.

As soon as Xu Mo's mind moved, the sacrificial circle in his hand disappeared from sight, and the slightly shiny little grid in the book appeared as a pocket of the sacrificial array. The spatial props that he had only heard about in novels in the past appeared in front of Xu Mo at this moment, which immediately satisfied all his fantasies about magic, and the mood that had just been depressed because of fear also lifted up.

In just one day, Xu Mo experienced everything he had never imagined before. When he waved his hands, which were bloody from the skin, his face was pale, and his legs trembled, he knew that the days of peace and stability were gone, and that the only thing he could rely on in the future in the face of those trembling beings was his own courage and strength.

After playing with the magic of the space bar, Xu Mo put the Warlock Book back into his body. In his previous attempt, he had discovered that the only thing that could be included in the space slot was the sacrificial circle given by the Warlock's Book. This made his fantasy of carrying an airplane and a tank with him come to naught.

As soon as this task was completed, another mission journey began in front of Xu Mo.

Main Quest: Bloody Sacrifice

Mission Description: As a qualified warlock, how can you do it without a few demon followers around you? Even the lowest-level bad devil is enough for you to escort. Go to the Plains of the Water Rabbit to complete a massacre, bring back at least 10 corpses of the Water Rabbit, and complete a real Follower Sacrifice.

Note: The strength of a follower is directly proportional to the quality of the sacrifice

Reward: Open the XP bar

Closing the book of the warlock, the sun was already setting in the west, Xu Mo's stomach was already rumbling with hunger, he found some dry firewood from the pile of dead branches of the long-leaved vine, and then matched it with the fluffy yellow grass blades of oil wheat grass, and took a wooden stick against the stone and rotated continuously, and then lit the firewood in front of him with a little spark.

This is also thanks to Xu Mo's many mountaineering and camping experiences when he was a child, which made the drilling wood for fire that he had studied useful. He washed the skinned hare meat in the stream, skewered it with a stick, and roasted it over the fire.

However, perhaps because of Xu Mo's technique, the intact water rabbit could not make a perfect barbecue, and the rabbit meat that was finally cooked was scorched in large pieces, and the black and black exuded an unpleasant scorching smell. Xu Mo had no choice but to tear open the burnt rabbit skin, revealing the white and tender flesh inside.

After biting hard, I found that this rabbit meat had a strange watery smell that was disgusting. The large chunks of rabbit meat were not roasted, and there was still a little blood in them.

Xu Mo, who finally calmed down, finally had time to think about his current situation. Combined with the introduction of the "Warlock's Book", the plain he is currently in is not a part of a complete world, but a private half-plane opened up by the Ozmanda Empire, the god Noradafa.

However, what is the ecological chain of this half-plane?

Xu Mo thought while eating undercooked rabbit meat. If there is only one species of water rabbit in this half-plane, then the only end of this grassland is to be gnawed away from all vegetation and finally barren. However, for an unknown number of years since it was abandoned, this grassland has remained in a thriving state.

Strange, so strange, what is it that controls the number of water rabbits?

Xu Mo lay on the homemade rattan bed, looking up at the incomparably strange starry sky in front of him. At this moment, all worries seemed to suddenly move away from him.

The night sky of the Water Rabbit Plains is peaceful and beautiful. Maybe it's because the endless grassland is far away from the hustle and bustle of the human world, or maybe this half-plane that has been forgotten by the universe lacks communication with the outside world. Lying on a large net woven with long-leaf vines, Xu Mo opened his eyes and looked up at the clear blue-purple starry sky like jewels, his eyes gradually blurred.

The night sky is full of dazzling stars, and the stars here do not struggle on the edge of darkness and dawn like their faint counterparts on earth, almost disappearing into the sky, but compete with the moon with their dazzling brilliance. The stars are not monotonous gray-white, but become colorful and pleasant.

Not to mention the strange blue moon in the sky, the circle of orange-red stars like gold dust around the moon alone makes people's hearts intoxicated. Around the moon, there was a silver-gray nebula that spread to the south, and the stars in the nebula were extraordinarily gorgeous, as if the veil-like nebula distinguished them from those lonely and wandering planets.

Xu Mo slowly fell asleep peacefully, rattan beds, starry sky, breeze, everything constituted a beautiful night.

It's just that tomorrow, there will only be a wisp of sweet blood.
