Chapter 31: The Dragon Sacrifice
readx; And on closer inspection, in the little glow behind him, there was a herd of bright silver deer following behind, each of them flashing their colorful wings beautifully, and soaring into the distant sky, as if something was calling them in the star-filled firmament. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Divine Messenger ......" At this time, the black cloak looked up at the sky, and inadvertently said these two words that were likely to reveal his identity, but he didn't seem to care at this time, and at the same time, the hand that fired the dart also stopped in this unconscious moment.
However, Liu Jinyi quickly searched for the corresponding face from his impression, but the stakes were so high, and he didn't dare to make a judgment so easily, so he immediately turned his head and confirmed again: "You... Who the hell is it?"
But as before, the black cloak did not answer for a long time, and his eyes were just fixed on the rising deer wings, until it completely dissolved into fireworks in the sky, and then completely faded after shining the heavens and the earth.
The people under the deer's wings also inexplicably followed the flames completely hidden, and the sky changed back to a place where there were only stars, as if everything just now had never appeared.
And along with it, there was the black waterfall that was about to engulf Liu Jinyi and the Eight Banners, and even thousands of skeleton soldiers melted into the sand in an instant at this time, and scattered with the wind.
"Hey! You... Who the hell is it?" Liu Jinyi took a step forward and blocked in front of the Eight Banners, stretched his hands and feet into defense and shouted at the man again.
But the other party always ignored it, and looked up at the sky for a long time, before finally lowering his head, glanced at him, and just like that, he suddenly began to fly into the distance.
Liu Jinyi, who still didn't know why, wanted to chase after him, but after running for more than ten meters, he still couldn't let go of the eight people behind him, so he quickly reversed and cut the shackles of the eight people one by one.
"Who are you? Why is it in this place?"
When the eight people heard Liu Jinyi's question, they didn't answer immediately, but looked at each other, and they all felt that he was credible, so they finally said: "Actually, we are the sacrifices of the Flying Deer Clan!"
"What? Are you talking about a biennial dragon festival? Liu Jinyi's eyes widened in disbelief, because the dragon sacrifice of the Flying Deer Clan since ancient times is the same as the gilded knife in his hand, it will only appear once in two hundred years, and not every time there will be a corresponding person, or not every time the number of people can be gathered, but once these two situations occur, the consequences are very serious.
If there is no one who appears, the Flying Deer Clan, including the Flying Deer King, will be reduced by half, and if the number is not enough, then among them will be transformed into a few dragon demons, bloodthirsty and sweep across the desert, and in the end, they will basically kill half of the Flying Deer Clan.
Therefore, in order to ensure a sufficient number of people, a large number of children of the Flying Deer Clan will be assessed and trained from the age of two very early, and often after eight years of elimination, they can leave a group of teenagers who are affirmed by experienced elders in the end.
But this is not the most difficult, because the number of people who need to be sacrificed is different every year, so in order to ensure the success of the dragon sacrifice every two hundred years, it is often necessary for many people to step on a board boat to look for the middle of the sand sea, which is also an enduring family rule passed down from ancient times by the Feilu clan, that is, at the beginning of each year, one hundred of the strongest men of the whole clan must be picked, and everyone must carry as much food and water as possible to go to the center of the sand sea to find the "decree", two hundred years like this repeatedly, if no one has come back, Of course, according to common sense, no one should be able to live in the middle of the sand sea for more than ten days, because once you step on the board boat and step into the sand sea, it means that you will never have a second to stop, because after a while, you will forever hide under the deep waterfall below you.
However, as long as the person who can bring back the "edict" in the end, he will be elected as the Flying Deer King of the new realm, and now Liu Jinyi is looking for this person who successfully completed this mission two hundred years ago, and he also created a new record in the history of the Flying Deer Clan, in the sea of sand, he has stayed for 178 years, so there should be nothing else that can kill him except the gilded knife.
"How do you know about the Dragon Festival?" One of the blue-clothed young men was very surprised by Liu Jinyi's reaction, because the Dragon Sacrifice had always been a secret that the Flying Deer Clan would never leak.
"I just had ......," Liu Jinyi wanted to explain.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a person next to the young man in blue who pointed to the gilded knife in his hand in a panic: "Prince, hammer... Gilded Knife!" And his eyes were filled with fear for this black knife for some reason at this time.
Seeing this, Liu Jinyi hurriedly wanted to show his sword to show that he had no malicious intent, but the eight people suddenly became inexplicably nervous.
"Say! What the hell are you doing here for the Flying Deer Clan?" The boy in blue also took an attacking stance in an instant and asked sharply.
However, Liu Jinyi was not nervous, because he was the one who commanded thousands of troops after all, so he just calmly put away the knife again and looked disgusted: "Hey! Don't forget who saved you just now?! "
Obviously, the eight people who seemed to have a simple mind heard Liu Jinyi say this, and finally understood again, and felt that Liu Jinyi was really good, so they relaxed again in an instant.
But Liu Jinyi was very abnormal at this time, the expression on his face suddenly became serious, and he pulled the knife out of his arms again, and his two eyes stared coldly at the back of the eight people.
"You... You... What do you want to do?" When the young man in blue saw Liu Jinyi's murderous appearance, he trembled suddenly, but this also showed that he had been dedicated to the dragon sacrifice assessment since he was a child, and he rarely experienced the world.
"Don't ask so much! Take your brother and go first!" Liu Jinyi didn't explain so much, and after speaking, he turned over the eight people and chased after the front, because just now he saw the figure of the Flying Deer King, and suddenly flashed over, and the black cloak was followed closely behind.
However, the eight people also turned their heads to look at the scene behind them, but none of them showed that they wanted to leave, because the dragon festival had failed, and the sand sea had begun to rapidly approach the tribe, which also meant destruction.
However, Liu Jinyi didn't know what would happen after the failure of the Dragon Sacrifice, although he had heard the legend of the Dragon Sacrifice carefully, but the details were still only known to people within the Flying Deer Clan, so at this time he was still bent on chasing and killing the Flying Deer King, so when he saw the figure, he stepped on the gilded knife in his hand and flew up.
Of course, the eight people in the back also chased after them on the board boat, because they could only look for the sand rider that had not been found for generations, and only it could completely make this sea of sand disappear, and their own people could be saved from the disaster of family ruin.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Jinyi asked in confusion when he saw the eight people following him, because at their age, they shouldn't have to bear so much with their lives, and as far as he knew, the Flying Deer Clan had always had a hard and fast rule, and anyone who used it for the dragon sacrifice could not take risks for the sake of the entire clan.
"As you know, we Feilu people have always existed for the mission, and the mission is for the permanent continuation of the race, so when the race is threatened, it doesn't matter whether you are alive or not, so the Feilu people have been running for continuation from generation to generation, and this is why the life expectancy of many Feilu people is not subject to the age limit, born in this tribe, it is God's cruelty and God's gift." Just now, Liu Jinyi still felt that the young man in blue who had not dried up had a milky smell and his eyes were shining in front of him at this time, as if there was a lot of hope, and the seven people also nodded very affirmatively, with the spirit of not being afraid of death.
"Good! The afterlife is really terrifying! Liu Jinyi looked at the extremely determined teenagers in front of him, and couldn't help but think of himself ten years ago, although he didn't know his exact background now, but he was inexplicably similar to these eight people.
"Come, hold on to me!" Liu Jinyi unconsciously made a concession, although he knew what it meant to him, he still couldn't hold back.
