Chapter 34: The Sacrifice
"What's going on?"
Luo Fang asked, the vibration under their feet made them unsteady on their feet, and the sky spun for a while.
Tourists gathered together, supporting each other, all with surprise on their faces.
They felt as if the whole island was about to be lifted, and the magnitude of the shaking was staggering.
If you look down from the sky and have a good view, you can see a deep ravine suddenly emerging from the center of the island and gradually spreading, and the whole island seems to be about to shatter from the middle.
It was as if there was a huge beast trying to break free from the ground.
However, it seems that a special force suddenly arises, gradually closing the cracked parts and crushing the broken force.
In the crack in the center of the island, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded, struggling and fighting.
However, as the ravine in the center of the island closed, the voice seemed to be suppressed, and gradually disappeared with unwillingness, anger and helplessness.
All the creatures who heard that roar felt a tremor from the bottom of their hearts, that is, the fear of facing the powerful and irresistible.
Within the headhunter tribe, the headhunter chieftain and all the natives all knelt on the ground, prostrate themselves, and shouted "Nga Da", which was the name of the god they feared and worshipped.
Inside the deep pool, the huge and formidable Titan Python, like a frightened reptile, curled up and motionless at this time, it was pretending to be dead.
All the birds and beasts on the island are prostrate and dare not move.
Hearing that roar, Luo Fang and other tourists also felt fear and pressure.
Everyone who was struggling to stand in the shaking was all unstable and sat on the ground at this time, and Pan Guangqing even knelt on the ground. They suddenly felt insignificant, as if they had become ants and would be crushed at any moment.
Fortunately, the sound quickly died down, the earth stopped shaking, and the surroundings were completely quiet.
It was as if nothing had happened, leaving no trace.
It is just a sense of fear that arises from the bottom of the heart, and it will always be engraved in the hearts of everyone.
Luo Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face turned pale, and his body even trembled a little. He glanced around and saw that everyone else was almost the same.
But when he looked at another place, Luo Fang's face suddenly showed surprise.
Because he saw Chen Mu, Chen Mu's arrival did not surprise him, he was surprised that Chen Mu was still asleep at this time, as if he had not been affected in any way.
"Just ...... What is that? Li Yan asked.
The crowd shook their heads, they didn't know what it was. If it was just ground movement, it could be explained by an earthquake, but what about that roar?
"I ...... I heard a rumor from the headhunter chief Savoa......"
At this time, Pan Guangqing suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"What rumors?" Zhou Zijian asked.
"Sava told me that the ancient gods they worshipped were suppressed under the island. Every year, sacrifices need to be sacrificed in order to continue to maintain the suppression, otherwise when the ancient evil gods come out, everyone will die! ”
Pan Guangqing's voice was very soft and slow, and everyone listened very carefully.
If it was before that roar, when they heard some so-called ancient evil gods, it is estimated that everyone would scoff at it and take it as a joke, but at this time, they had to believe it.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Yan complained about Pan Guangqing.
"I didn't expect it to be true!" Pan Guangqing said with some bitterness.
Zhou Zijian asked, "What does it mean to offer sacrifices?" What is the offering? ”
"Sacrifice...... That's five people! Pan Guangqing groaned for a moment and said slowly.
"What five?"
Pan Guangqing explained: "The sacrifice required the lives of five people, including a lascivious man, a pure man, a knowledgeable man, an athlete and a fool!" ”
"Is this a joke?" Wang Boxing said, and then he saw the solemn looks of the others, and said with a bitter face: "Okay, maybe it's not a joke." ”
"These five people...... Do you want to choose from among tourists? Luo Fang asked, and he suddenly felt his throat tighten and his lips dry.
Pan Guangqing nodded.
"And what if there aren't five of them? For example, a knowledgeable person, without such a person, is not doomed to death? Zhou Zijian asked.
Pan Guangqing shook his head, "According to Savoa, as long as you are close to these five qualities, it may not be completely consistent, just a little reliable." For example, a student represents knowledge, and if there is a student, it can replace a knowledgeable person. The others are similar, and they can be counted as barely compliant! ”
Li Yan had a look of surprise on his face and said, "Doesn't this mean that five of us must die." Otherwise, the evil god comes out and everyone will die? ”
His words made everyone's faces sink.
They looked at each other with an inexplicable meaning in their eyes. Obviously, if this is the case, it is better to die someone else than to die yourself. As long as the other people die enough, they can keep themselves safe.
At this time, everyone stood up and distanced themselves from each other, with a wary look on their faces.
The people who had finally united because they were dealing with the cursed monster together became jealous of each other again because of some of Pan Guangqing's words.
"Huh...... Hehe......" Luo Fang suddenly let out a dry laugh, "It's just speculation, isn't it!" It's just an unreliable rumor! I don't think it's enough to accept it. ”
"Well," Zhou Zijian said, "I think there must be something wrong with this rumor, maybe there is this evil god, but it definitely has nothing to do with us." We are not qualified to carry out such a dangerous mission, and the danger of this island is only three stars! ”
"That's right!" Li Yan agreed, and continued, "I think we don't think too much, it's important to concentrate on completing the task. ”
The words of the three made everyone else breathe a sigh of relief. Especially what Zhou Zijian said, it sounds very reasonable, if the ancient evil gods are really so powerful, the danger will be more than three stars.
However, although everyone relaxed a little, the pressure in their hearts still existed, and they were a little more vigilant about other tourists.
It was still dark, and it was Geng Shihao's and Pan Guangqing's turn to keep vigil, while the others went to rest.
Before everyone rested, they all glanced at Chen Mu and showed a strange look.
Chen Mu was still asleep and hadn't woken up, so naturally he hadn't heard what he had just said about the ancient evil gods and sacrifices, so he didn't have the same worries as them.
This made everyone envy Chen Mu for being able to rest better, and at the same time despise his nerves, and he didn't even wake him up from the movement just now, wouldn't it be easy if someone wanted to kill him?
At this time, Chen Mu, who was envied and despised by everyone, was in a state of confusion.
Because after the movement just disappeared, he has been in a hazy state, and there is no movement around him. The sound of roaring and struggling just now also fell silent as if it had been hit.
He seemed to be in a void, depressed and dazed.
After a while, Chen Mu felt a little tired, closed his eyes, and all the feelings disappeared......
After Geng Shihao and Pan Guangqing's vigil, it was Luo Fang and Li Yan who were in charge of the vigil, and when they ended, Luo Fang called Chen Mu, and Chen Mu was in charge of the rest of the vigil.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and after a while, the sky was bright, and everyone gradually woke up.
This night, there were no more cursed monsters. Luo Fang and the others thought that the other cursed monsters were afraid and did not dare to come, only Chen Mu knew that they were killed by him.
For tourists, it may be that the fright at night is too severe, and they do not let go of their guard. Although he had rested, except for Chen Mu, he could still see a little tiredness on the faces of others.
But fortunately, everyone's physical fitness is very good, and after washing their faces with cold water, they all recovered their spirits.
After eating some food, Luo Fang called everyone together and began to discuss, and there was only one topic of discussion, that is, how to kill the Titan Python!
Most people have seen the Titan Python, and even if they haven't, they've heard a lot from other tourists, and they can all feel the terrifying power it brings.
If it weren't for the fact that mission 3 explicitly called for killing the Titan Python, I'm afraid most tourists would choose to give up, because they really didn't have the courage to face such a behemoth.
However, after cooperating to kill the cursed monsters, everyone realizes that if all the tourists work together, the power they can exert is still very large.
On the other hand, after feeling the earthquake at night and the tremor of the roar, the fear of the Titan Python suddenly became much less. It's as if ordinary people see 100 million yuan, and then they don't feel anything when they see 1 million.
Everyone got together and first told about the situation when they saw the Titan Python to give others a reference.
Since everyone didn't see the Titan Python at the same time and had their own understanding of each other, they combined everyone's statements and learned more about the Titan Python.
"So, the Titan Python is injured?!"
Hearing Zhou Zijian mention the blood in the mouth of the titan python, everyone's spirits were lifted, which is indeed good news.
"Hmm!" Zhou Zijian nodded, "It looks like the injury is not light, and a lot of blood has been shed." Then he went into the deep pool and did not come out again. ”
Ouyang Hu and Luo Fang also affirmed the news of the Titan Python's injury, and everyone was even more overjoyed, and their faces showed joy.
"But even if it's wounded, how can we kill it?" Li Yan on the side suddenly said.
His words made the smiles on everyone's faces gradually converge, and their faces became heavy again.
Yes, such a behemoth, even if it is injured, is not easy to deal with.
"We can take advantage of the terrain!" Chen Mu, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.
Li Yan looked at Chen Mu and said eagerly: "Go on." ”
At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu bent down to pick up a branch from the ground, inserted it into the ground and pulled it out, leaving a small hole. Immediately, he picked up a stone and plugged the hole.
During this period, Chen Mu did not speak, but his actions attracted everyone's attention.
When Chen Mu got up again after doing all this, everyone's eyes lit up. Although Chen Mu didn't explain a word, his actions had already shown everything.
"That's a good idea!" Luo Fang said with some excitement, "As long as we block the deep pool from above, we will be able to smash the Titan Python to death or trap it below." Completing tasks is a breeze! ”
"That's right!" Li Yan nodded in agreement, but then he frowned again and said, "But, how do you block the deep pool?" ”
Although the deep pool was very similar to the small hole that Chen Mu had inserted with a wooden stick, it was ten million times larger, and it was not as easy as imagined to block it.
Luo Fang saw that everyone else was frowning and thinking, he gritted his teeth, took out two round things from the watch space, and said, "Use this!" ”
