The man's face turned pale with fright from this sudden scene, his eyes were full of fear, and his whole body shook and the whole person froze.

Speaking of which, this Yuan guy's psychological quality is also strong enough, and in this case, he can still maintain basic sanity. With a return of his hand, he pulled out the short knife at his waist.

A few of us around us were also stunned, but before we could come back to our senses, there were guys next to us who were also attacked in a similar way, and for a while there were screams one after another.

I subconsciously looked down and found that the feet of the second uncle next to me were also flashing red. Lantern Xiao immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful of your step. As he spoke, he raised his gun and shot at his feet. Everyone immediately pulled the trigger together, and suddenly the gunshots rang out, and the bullets hit the bones at our feet, and these thousand-year-old bones were immediately shattered and crackled.

I noticed that in addition to the fragments of bones, there was also bright red blood, and when I looked closely, I realized that there was a large amount of blood flowing from under the bones where we were standing, and it turned out that the blood from the sacrificial pool had gathered here, and we were standing on top of them.

I immediately reminded everyone, "Back off, everyone back off!!" ”

In the process of retreating, we looked at the guys who had been caught by the bloody hands, only to find that they had made amazing changes.

The red that clings to the guy's body is actually not a bloody hand at all, but countless red blood worms. The swarm of blood worms only slightly separated, but after a few moments it began to spread more rapidly to other locations.

In this short period of more than ten seconds, those guys who had been attached to the blood worms earlier had become red all over their bodies at this time, and they couldn't get out at all. Blood worms crawled down their necks to their faces and even into their mouths. These fellows opened their mouths wide to make painful sounds, but they couldn't speak, desperately reaching out in the hope that someone else would save them.

To be honest, in this case, anyone will be tormented, facing their friends or brothers who they usually get along with, but they can't be saved when they see death, and their hearts are like a knife cut. Some guys hesitated and wanted to reach out to those guys in distress.

Tian Laosi immediately shouted loudly: "Don't move!" No one is allowed to touch these people!! You can't save them, whoever holds them will die!! Tian Laosi's tone was a little sad, "If you are interesting enough, give them a good time!" When I said these words, I saw one of Tian Laosi's hands trembling violently, and I could understand the pain in his heart.

As soon as Tian Laosi's words fell, a few gunshots rang out, and those guys who turned blood-red all fell to the ground. Tian Laosi gritted his teeth and waved his big hand, "Everyone leaves!" Fast! As he spoke, he covered Yuan An's evacuation.

We retreated a few meters, away from the dense pile of bones. I crouched down to make sure that there was solid ground under my feet, and I was relieved.

Lantern Xiao asked me what I was doing, and I told him that what we were standing on just now was the place where the blood of the sacrificial pool was collected. Lantern Xiao nodded, "No wonder there is such an evil thing, so it is!" ”

The second uncle looked at the place where several guys in front of him died, "Those blood worms should be the same as those transparent monster worms we encountered in the sacrificial pool before, except that here they sucked blood and turned red." The second uncle said as he looked around the temple, "It seems that it should be the blood trough under the sacrificial pool that drains the blood here, and then all of it is collected in the blood canal here." After speaking, the second uncle turned his head to look at Yuan An, "Master An, what do you think?" ”

Yuan An nodded, "Second Master Zhuo is right, I haven't seen such a spectrum of blood sacrifice patterns for many years. ”

Most of the cruel forms of blood sacrifice existed in the slave era, while the more typical slave era in Chinese history probably only existed before the Xia and Zhou dynasties, and there is no exact historical evidence to support it. Since the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, the Jingtian system has appeared, and the characteristics of feudal society have begun to appear, and until the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, China is basically in the form of a merger of slave society and feudal society. Therefore, whether there was pure slavery in Chinese history has always been controversial in the historical circles.

Because of this, I understand what Yuan An said, and the blood sacrifice pattern he said can probably only appear in this kind of ancient relics.

Yuan An continued: "This place is centered on the temple, and the blood canal is in a state of surrounding, if I guess correctly, the blood canal here should be around the temple, similar to a moat. ”

After listening to Yuan An's words, Lantern Xiao said: "Regardless of whether it is around a circle or not, I think we should still look around the temple to see if there is a breakthrough to pass, all here, if you are stuck and return in vain, it will really be embarrassing to want to commit suicide!" Maybe...... No way!! Halfway through Lan Xiao's words, he suddenly exclaimed, and then looked around, "Tang Jian'an, where did that stupid X go?" ”

Actually, I'm not interested in Tang Jian'an's life or death, this person is ruthless, and it's not a pity to die. I didn't pay attention to his whereabouts either.

Tian Laosi snorted coldly, pointed to the location of the blood canal and said, "Will you die inside?" ”

Lantern Xiao shook her head, "No, I remember that he followed behind just now, and when he retreated, I pulled him out as well." Seeing that no one of us said anything, Lantern Xiao could probably guess the reason, so he continued: "Actually, I don't want to take care of Tang Jian'an. Our Tang family was originally a sparse number of men, and there were only two brothers in my father's generation, and now my father is gone, leaving only my uncle. And there are only two men in my generation, me and Tang Jian'an, I can't be idle, maybe one day I will be the same as my father, Tang Jian'an is like this, it is estimated that it will be difficult to fight in the future, leave him, at least our Tang family will not be extinct. Said this Lantern Festival self-deprecating wry, and then continued: "In addition, there is another reason that my grandfather, speaking of which, the old man is not thin on me, and my father will hit him a lot as soon as he leaves, and I don't want him to be stimulated again." ”

Lantern Festival's words are understandable from the perspective of family affection. The cold expressions of the crowd eased slightly, and I remembered the words I had yelled at him before, and I couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, so I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

At this moment, not far away, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and we hurriedly followed the sound, and saw a person standing up from the side, walking slowly to the side. I felt that this person's back was very familiar, and then Lantern Xiao exclaimed: "It's Tang Jian'an!" As he spoke, he chased after him with a shout, but he didn't expect Tang Jian'an to hear the shout, not only did he not stop, but ran quickly.

Tang Jian'an seems to be a little afraid of the bones on the ground, and he will quickly bypass it after seeing it, but fortunately, this is the case, otherwise he will run straight to the temple, and we can only watch him be eaten by the strange insects in the blood canal! Then, the task of inheriting the Tang family all fell on the Lantern Festival alone.

Tang Jian'an ran forward along the edge of the blood canal around the temple, and Lantern Xiao was chasing after him, and we were originally going to check along the blood canal, so we also followed quickly.

Everyone ran very fast, and it didn't take long for us to come to the back of the temple. Tang Jian'an and Lantern Xiao were running fast in front, I didn't expect Lantern Xiao to have such a strong potential. We must do our best not to be left behind by these two people, just when we were about to catch up with these two, Lantern Xiao suddenly said "oops", we followed to take a look, but found that Lantern Xiao had fallen and lay on the ground.

I reached out and pulled him up, "Are you alright?" ”

Lantern Xiao rubbed his legs, "X his uncle's!" What about Tang Jian'an? ”

We looked around and saw where we could still find his shadow. Lantern Xiao slapped her thigh in annoyance, then looked behind her, "What tripped me up?" ”

"This should be it!" Tian Laosi said as he kicked a tree trunk the thickness of a bowl on the ground.

Looking at the tree trunk on the ground, I couldn't help but wonder, "It's all roots here, where did you get a trunk?" With that, I looked up.

Wen Mo said lightly: "Don't look for it, this trunk must have been transported from above, and this trunk has been treated with antiseptic treatment, so it has not decayed so far." ”

Puzzled, I asked, "So why are these people doing this?" ”

Wen Mo pointed with a flashlight in the direction of the back of the temple, "There are many symbols on this trunk, and it must have a special use." And I saw a lot of similar tree trunks erected in that direction, and I thought the answer must be there! ”

I was stunned by what Wenmo said, and I turned my head to shine it with a flashlight, but I only saw a void of darkness, and I didn't see anything, "Boss, how did you see it?" How can I not see it? I turned my head to look at the second uncle, "Second uncle, have you seen it?" It's not like I have eye problems, right? ”

The second uncle smiled, "This kind of ability, you don't want to compare with Wen Mo, you will be hit!" As he spoke, he took me with him to check. So everyone walked in the direction that Wen Mo pointed to, although Lantern Xiao also followed, but his eyes kept searching for Tang Jian'an's traces.

Sure enough, as Wenmo said, after not taking a few steps, some tree trunks standing on the ground appeared in front of them, some high and some low, thick and thin, after a long time, some of them have tilted or even fallen to the ground, and the one that tripped the Lantern Festival just now should have rolled over after falling to the ground from here.

What surprised me was that the trunks were not arranged in a regular symmetry or regular manner, and from where we were, they looked a little disorganized. This area can be regarded as extremely important to the ancient ancestors of the underworld, and the things that can be found here will definitely not be done casually, but what these tree trunks represent, we have no idea for a while.
