Chapter 388 [Sacrificial Ceremony]
He Ping did not leave the Yan Demon Tribe, although by now, his purpose of coming to the territory of the half-orcs this time has been achieved, he has obtained the Soul Eater Ghost Hand, and understands the method of extracting the Demon Eater Beast Beast Soul, but curiosity has made him stay, the more he knows, the more he does not know, and with it, he wants to know more and more, the Soul Eater Ghost Hand makes He Ping understand the method of extracting the Demon Eater Beast Beast Soul, but this strange glove tells him more than that.
The Lifestealer hand is obviously not something that can be made by the technology of the half-orcs, let's not talk about whether the degree of civilization is enough or not, the obvious development direction is different, the Lifestealer hand does not use magic power, which is completely a foreign product for the elven world with magic as the direction of civilization development, the Lifestealer hand is not made by the half-orcs, but something brought by the demon god, that is to say, before the demon god comes to this world, the Lifestealer hand is absolutely impossible to appear.
Without the Soul Eater Ghost Hand, at the level of the half-orcs, there is no way to extract the Soul Eater Beast to make Horcruxes, all the Horcruxes made by the Demon Eater Beast Soul are completed by using the Soul Eater Ghost Hand, the history of the Demon God Sect is only fifty years, and it was still very declining fifty years ago, but the Soul Eater Ghost Hand, or the Horcruxes made by the Demon Eater Beast Beast Soul, has a history of hundreds of years before the Blackhorn tribe attacked the Melione Forest.
From this point of view, a hundred years ago, the Blackhorn tribe already had the Soul Eater Ghost Hand, and mastered the method of extracting the soul of the Demon Eater Beast and making special Horcruxes, so providing them with the Soul Eater Ghost Hand, informing them of the existence of the Demon Eater, teaching them to make special Horcruxes, and guiding them to attack the mastermind behind the Meliane Forest, could it be the Demon God Cult, could it be the Demon God?
And this time, after the Demon God Cult initially completed the integration of several surrounding tribes, it immediately organized a coalition of several tribes to attack the Meliane Forest, if it weren't for He Ping's sudden appearance, the periphery of the Meliane Forest would definitely be invaded, and this was still the result of several tribes only showing their strength on the surface, if after occupying the periphery of the Meliane Forest, they would take out other forces, such as other tribes, such as the true strength of shamans, etc., Then the Meliane Forest is likely to suffer more serious losses than the previous Scarlet Forest War.
Whether it was the attack on the elves, or the common clue between the Lifestealer and the War-Eater, they pointed to the truth about the war launched by the Blackhorn tribe to the demon god, and now He Ping was basically sure that it was the demon god who showed the strange War-Eater to the half-orcs of the Blackhorn tribe through some method, and also misled the Blackhorn tribe to think that this was a demonic beast with magic immunity, and then provided the Life-Eater Ghost Hand to let them make a large number of that special horcrux.
So now the problem is, He Ping can guess that the demon god wants to exert influence on the elf world in every possible way, probably because they want to get something from this world, and choose the half-orcs, it is estimated that the half-orcs are also because the half-orcs are an intelligent race and have a certain civilization, but the level is not high, and they can be easily controlled, and the elves are too civilized to be easily bewitched, but He Ping can't guess why the demon god is so obsessed with that special horcrux, and why is he so obsessed with attacking the elf territory?
These questions seem to be irrelevant, but in fact they are the key, He Ping is also counting on being able to sell weapons to elves in the elf world to complete the upgrade of the system, if the demon god is sideways, causing something irreparable to happen here, then the fun will be great, at present, it seems that whether it is the main world, or the giant beast paradise and the military world, there will be no big business in a short period of time, if the market in the elf world collapses, then He Ping's system upgrade plan will be postponed.
Therefore, He Ping stayed in the Demon God Sect and stayed in the Yan Demon Tribe, just to find out the details of the Demon God, so as to maintain the market order of the elf world, originally He Ping thought that this new purpose might take a long time, and maybe even let him go back to the military world to take a look at the situation, but what He Ping didn't expect was that this matter would soon make progress, and it was still a lot of progress.
The aftermath of the theft of the Soul Eater Ghost Hand has not completely dissipated, He Ping received a notice that the Demon God Sect is going to hold a large-scale sacrificial ceremony, and all priests who can free their hands need to participate, and the warriors in the core area of the Charon Forest are no exception, after getting this notice, He Ping was moved, there is nothing for the priests to participate in this kind of activity, but the warriors must also participate in all of them, which is a bit contrary to common sense, it seems that the high-level of the Demon God Sect thinks that the theft of the Soul Eater Ghost Hand is done by a certain warrior.
Since joining the Demon God Sect, He Ping has not participated in any decent activities, he is the spokesperson of the Great Demon God Bal, so he has a high degree of freedom and the right to speak, although occasionally he will participate in some meetings, but most of the time he is under the guise of cultivation, to do a little bit of his own business, and the other priests have nothing to say about this, after all, he is still just a newcomer, if he is too keen on power, it will cause dissatisfaction.
This sacrificial ceremony is the first large-scale centralized activity after He Ping joined the Demon God Sect, according to what he knows, such sacrificial ceremonies are not held frequently in the Demon God Sect, only once in a while, and there is no rule, generally the Sect Leader De La Sol said that it would be held, then it was held, I don't know what the Sect Leader relied on to decide whether to hold it, there was a certain condition, or whether it was the meaning of the Great Demon God Baal.
Therefore, what will become of the sacrificial ceremony this time, He Ping is still very curious, but before the event started, He Ping did not expect that this event would be related to what he wanted to investigate, at first he just thought that this event was likely to be a trap made by the high-level of the Demon God Sect to find out the prisoner who stole the Soul Eater's hand, and when the event officially began, he realized that he was still thinking a little simple.
It is said to be a large-scale sacrificial ceremony, but in fact it is very simple, it is just that all the priests and warriors are gathered, and now there are a lot of people, originally He Ping thought that the so-called sacrificial ceremony was actually everyone gathered together, chanting scriptures, dancing, and then performing some other various rituals, but when a large number of horcruxes were brought up, He Ping felt that something was wrong.
Because, the appearance of the horcruxes that were carried up looked a little wrong, in addition to most of the various weapons and various other utensils, a small half of them were barrel-shaped, cup-shaped, pot-shaped, etc., Horcruxes with loading as the main purpose, and among them, He Ping also saw the same thing as the small barrel-shaped Horcrux made by the priest that night, and what made He Ping pay the most attention to this point, he felt that these Horcruxes contained a lot of magic power, and all the Horcruxes seemed to be sealed with the same beast soul!
Devouring Beasts! These Horcruxes are all special Horcreats that seal the Devouring Beasts! This conclusion made He Ping startled, how could there be so many? He Ping observed carefully and found that the small half-loaded Horcruxes were relatively new on the surface, and they looked like they had been newly made recently, but most of the remaining Horcruxes had obvious historical traces, and they didn't seem to have been made recently, and they seemed to be dozens or hundreds of years old, especially some of them were worn and broken, and those weapon Horcruxes were basically all wounded, and they had participated in actual combat.
At this point, of course, He Ping couldn't guess that these old Horcruxes must have been left over from the Blackhorn tribe back then, when the Blackhorn tribe perished, the population and materials were divided among the other tribes around, but only a small amount of that special Horcrux was left in the end, and the rest were missing, and now these are packed in boxes and carried up, which are very consistent with the characteristics of the relics of the Blackhorn tribe, from this aspect, He Ping is even more sure that the incident of the Blackhorn tribe's attack on the Meliane Forest is definitely related to the demon god, but, What is the purpose of bringing these things up at this time?
