The two points of fire that came felt like they should still be torches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Just this torch, there are several 'weirdos' in black robes, and now there are two, and I don't know how many of them came...
These black-robed people stood still, they should be waiting for these people to arrive, so what about after they arrived? … I think, maybe it's like the description in "Robinson Crusoe", these people are bouncing around me, dancing with their hands, singing a few old songs of the Ran tribe for a while, and after the foreplay is done enough, and when the appetite is raised, they will disembowel me and feast on me... Look at these guys around me, dressed like no one or ghost, walking and jumping around, they may be dancers of the Ran clan, when everyone enjoys human flesh and food, they perform a show...
I thought wildly in my heart, as if I saw someone holding a knife for skinning and deboning and a vessel for cooking human flesh, and I thought of my skin and stomach flowing all over the ground... I could hear the sound of footsteps, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly closed my eyes, afraid that I would see the same scene as I imagined...
Eventually, the footsteps came closer, and then the sound was gone. Driven by curiosity, I couldn't help it, so I narrowed my eyes and looked sideways...
Under the reflection of the torches, I saw a large group of people, led by two masked men, carrying a chair made of wood, and a man wearing a mask and a helmet sat on the chair. The helmet worn by this person is similar to what we saw before, the helmet worn by the stone statue warrior of the Ran Kingdom looks much different, except that the 'helmet feather' is longer, and as for the mask, it is also made of bronze, and the facial features are very majestic... Looking at the appearance of this person, I feel that it should be the leader of these Ran Min...
Looking at the other people behind me, all of them wearing bronze masks, and then looking at their hands, I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat... Sure enough, it was similar to what I had thought before, these people were holding large and small pottery utensils in their hands, but they didn't see knives, maybe they were hidden in their clothes...
"Hey! What are you going to do?! ”
I struggled and writhed, and no one paid any attention to me. The 'leader' waved his hand, lifted the chair to the two, and slowly lowered the chair to the ground. The people in the back, holding the utensils in both hands, walked towards me step by step...
"Hey! Let me go! I shouted hoarsely.
These people didn't know what to say, and all the voices came together to give me goosebumps when I heard it. When they came to me, they laid out the vessels around the stone platform where I was lying...
"What the hell are you bastards doing?! …”
After the utensils were placed, the people straightened up one by one, and I don't know if it was because the masks on their faces were too heavy, and the movements of these people were very slow. When they all got up, they muttered around me and walked in circles.
I felt tired and hungry as I struggled and screamed, and finally I lost my strength and was panting for breath. Suddenly, the men stopped, and then, without knowing what the man in the chair had said, they all scattered to both sides.
I looked over, and saw the man in the black robe with the torch, handing the torch to one of the people who had just walked around, and then came straight to me, and 'brushed' out of the robe with a bronze knife.
The knife was about twenty or thirty centimeters long, and the blade shone with a cold and faint light... At this point, I had forgotten to be afraid, my eyes were staring at the knife in this man's hand, and my mind was blank...
I watched this person roll up his sleeves little by little, and all thoughts were discouraged in my heart, I turned my head sideways, looked at the dark sky, and sighed. It was as if a bright light suddenly lit up in the dark night, and I suddenly thought of the kind of spell that the old man of the dead ghost told me in the 'Ghost Realm' to summon Ran Min... God, how did I forget this! I immediately mustered all my strength, loudly, and in a hurry, I recited the incantation, and in my urgency, it seemed that there was a mistake in it, and I couldn't care so much. After reading it once, I read it a second time, and after reading it twice, I gasped and looked at this man, only to see him standing there stunned, as if staring at me...
After a while, the 'leader' sitting in the chair 'muttered', and the man with the knife stepped aside. Then the leader got up, slowly came to me, leaned down, and got a little closer to my face...
I glared at him, and through the two small holes in the mask, I saw both of his eyes...
"Before I could say it, I was knocked unconscious by your people..."I don't care if he can understand my words, and said weakly, "It was the bronze man who had a grudge with your ancestors back then, those bronze people found by the Yang family, and then told me this spell, and asked me to hand over the bronze man to you, as a result, the bronze man was snatched away by the bastard surnamed Cao, and I chased it all the way..."
The leader didn't understand, didn't move, didn't speak, his eyes shining in the mask, staring at me... My heart pounded, and finally, the leader straightened up...
"Can you let me go?!" I said hoarsely.
The leader did not speak, but turned slowly.
"Hey!"
The leader walked toward the chair, and as he approached it, he turned his back and raised his arm. The man with the knife came towards me again...
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is knowing that you are going to die, but what is more terrible than knowing that you are going to die is that when you have lost everything, you suddenly grasp a life-saving straw and struggle back from the edge of death, but the straw is lost again, and you return to the edge of death again, that kind of despair is not something that words can describe...
The man with the knife came up to me and slowly lifted the knife.
"Come on!" I gritted my teeth and glared, my voice changing in tone and squeezing out from between my teeth, "I'm just watching you kill me, kill!" ”
The man raised the knife to his chest, and I thought he was going to stab it down, but what I didn't expect was that he actually raised his other arm, wiped it on the blade with his hand, and then reached over, and the blood fell on my chest...
I don't know what this is for, but after about a dozen drops, another man in a black robe came over, took the knife from this person, cut his own hand, and dripped blood on me.
When all the black-robed people were rotated, there was a lot of blood on my chest, slimy, and the smell was very pungent.
The leader didn't know what to say, and the black-robed men dispersed, and then all the torches were extinguished. Suddenly, someone shouted, and then everyone walked around me, chanting words as they went, bringing a gust of wind to the wind...
I felt a deep sense of uneasiness that something might be going to happen. Suddenly, the men stopped, and in the midst of that deathly silence, I saw two flickering shimmers of light in the sky, falling rapidly...
The two points of light fell faster and faster, and I suddenly reacted, these seemed to be the two eyes of some kind of 'thing', and then I understood that these Ran people should be engaged in a kind of sacrificial activity, and I was a sacrifice to this ghost thing from above...
Frightened, I screamed, stiffened up, and what I never expected was that I actually sat up! I didn't know what was going on, but seeing the two lights above me getting closer and closer, I didn't have time to think about it, I tried to jump down, I jumped off the stone platform, and there was a 'horn' sound, and the soles of my feet hurt sharply. Judging by the sound, it was a pottery that I had trampled on and cut my foot.
I endured the pain in my feet, and I jumped, and two people threw themselves at me, one of whom was knocked to the ground, and the other grabbed my arm, and I shook it off and rushed forward, and within a few steps, I was surrounded.
"Death to those who stand in my way!"
I yelled, punched and kicked, and ran as hard as I could. After running for a while, I came to a wooded area and plunged into the woods. The forest was not big, but when I came out of it, I was almost out of strength. I didn't dare to pause, gritted my teeth, and continued to run breathlessly, when suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me... Oh no, those people are chasing after them!
I gathered all my strength and rushed forward, but after a few steps, I felt something tripped over the soles of my feet, fell heavily to the ground, and fainted...
When I woke up again, it was still dark, where was I? Is it already dead? … I tried to move my hands and feet, and I was able to move them, but just a slight movement hurt into the bone marrow... I feel the pain in my heart, which means that I am still alive, but where am I? …
I had no strength to scream, and my brain was dull, and after a few moments, I struggled to sit up. As soon as I got up, I saw a flickering fire...
I thought it was the same people who came with torches, and curled up tremblingly. When the light of the fire came closer, I could see clearly that it was a man... As for the firelight, it's a very strange-looking lamp...
When I saw this man's face clearly, I just breathed a sigh of relief and lifted it up again. This man didn't wear a mask, but his face was even more terrifying than the masks worn by those black-robed people, his facial features were like he had been caught by something, a mess of scum, the upper two small holes were eyes, and the lower one was a mouth...
"You... What are you doing? ”
The man did not speak, but put the lamp on a small stone platform, and handed me the clay pot that he was holding in his other hand. Then I noticed that I was sitting on a small stone bed, and the place I was in looked like a cave...
Suddenly, I smelled a fragrance, and when I looked at it, the basin was shiny, like broth, and it was steaming...
Stimulated by the scent, my mind cleared up a lot, and I remembered the scene when I sat up from the stone platform, and someone must have secretly cut the rope that bound me. I raised my eyes to look at the man in front of me, and judging by the bark clothes he was wearing, it should be one of those Ran people. This man stood hunched over, and from his appearance, he couldn't tell how old he was...
"Did you save me?" I asked, choking up.
The man still didn't speak, pointed to the broth in front of me, turned around, and staggered out...
