Chapter 25: The Ritual

At this time, in the warm cave, there was only the crackling sound of the campfire burning, accompanied by the peculiar stench of the war lizards when they were angry, and the angry chief hissed intently at the old Greenpaw Elder, and the fear and uneasiness in the questioning snake hissed rapidly.

Twilight, Xie Zimu smiled.

He smiled and said, "Respected Elder, whether I am or not your so-called Mother God Messenger, but when you make us pay" Saying this, Xie Zimu glanced at the angry Chief Hiss with interest, and then continued to the Green Claw Elder with a calm face: "I'm afraid the price you paid won't be very small!"

With the black-red blood flame rising, a pair of bat wings pointing obliquely at the sky were gently flapping behind Xie Zimu, and the bonfire in the cave rose into the sky like a dragon, meekly winding around Zheng Yi, and where the fire could not shine, the muzzle of the rifle in the black hole was shining with the light of death.

In the stench that only emitted when the war lizardmen were excited or nervous, the chief of the hiss who suddenly rushed out blocked the middle of several people, and said anxiously: "Shh~~! Elder, ritual, judgment, messenger!" After speaking, he looked at Xie Zimu with a pleading face.

After pondering for a long time, Xie Zimu finally nodded and said, "If it has no impact on our personal safety, for the sake of both of us, I am willing to participate!"

Amid the stern hiss of the serpentine of Chief Rattle, the green-pawed elder with his cane nodded silently, and after taking a piece of burning wood from the campfire, it walked without a word to the aisle hidden in the corner of the cave.

As the Greenpaw Elder threw the firewood in his hand, two dragons snaked up along the flotting troughs piled up beside the aisle, about 60 feet of the aisle carefully tamped and covered with a layer of black dirt, and with the help of orange firelight, the walls were faintly visible in a messy and mottled mural.

The three people walking in the aisle tried their best to distinguish the contents of the murals, but they could only barely piece together a figure with a light wheel floating behind their heads and carrying bat wings from the same figure that appeared in multiple murals.

It wasn't until the end of the aisle that the trio found a few clear murals, depicting a group of strangely shaped alien creatures heroically fighting the hideous humans with golden light.

In the depiction of the whole mural, the number of human beings far exceeds the aliens, although the human beings are shrouded in golden light, but they are still depicted very obscenely, and the alien creatures that were originally the villains in the story are depicted extremely heroic, and the war lizard who occupies the center of the mural is depicted as extraordinarily tall and majestic.

At the end of the mural, the mural, which seemed to describe a bedtime story, finally ended with the defeat of the alien creatures, and on a mural with blood red as the background color, the defeated alien creatures, sheltered by several figures with light wheels floating behind their heads and carrying bat wings, hid in a pale blue oval halo.

Seeing Rebecca, who was deliberately lagging behind here, her face suddenly changed greatly, and after stabbing Xie Zimu and Zheng Yi, she pointed to the place that represented the sky on the mural, and said to the two: "Golden eyes!"

In the horrified gaze of the two, the golden eyes hidden in the human phalanx seemed to be watching them as well!

The three of them quietly exchanged a look, and then looked around vigilantly.

"It's here, messenger, it's here!" The three of them looked in the direction of Chief Hiss' finger, and saw a huge black goat's head placed on a pentagram made of red earth, and on the five horns corresponding to the pentagram were the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

The arc grooves in the black soil penetrate the five organs, and the blood dripping from the cobweb-covered organs flows down the grooves, connecting the five corners into a circle.

Five black-robed warrior priests emerged from the darkness, holding white candles flickering with blood-red candles, kneeling on one knee behind the five organs, and whispers like whispers rang in the ears of several people as low prayers rang out.

Elder Greenpaw, looking at the priests in prayer with a painful face, a touch of sorrow and resentment flashed in his eyes, and he felt that the Elder Greenpaw below said faintly: "Go in, stand on the head of the black goat, Mother Goddess..."

The Greenclaw Elder, who had only calmed down halfway, quietly looked at the pentagram that was emitting a light red light, and said flatly: "The blood of the mother goddess will distinguish your authenticity!"

Feeling the summoning of the pentagram, Xie Zimu forcibly endured the desire from the depths of his soul, and under the command of the Green Claw Elder, he stepped onto the head of the black goat step by step, and at this time, Zheng Yi and Rebecca returned to the passage under Xie Zimu's hint.

As the black-robed sacrifice in the field swayed his body like a candle, the murmuring prayers became more and more slight, until the groans of Bliss suddenly sounded, and the flickering candle flame and the black-robed sacrifice came to an abrupt end, and everything seemed to be still.

A peaceful, silent darkness enveloped everything in the cave.

At dusk, the high cry of the sheep sounded from the mouth of the black goat's head, and the groaning of Bliss sounded from the mouth of the black-robed priest, and in the darkness abruptly stopped, and the candle flame danced again.

With the sound of groaning and the cessation of the sheep's cry, the black-robed priest stretched out his hands to the white candle that was swaying with the blood-colored candle flame, and in the prayer that sounded again, the blood-colored candle flame that rolled up instantly ignited the black-robed sacrifice.

The grief-stricken Greenpaw Elder watched all this in vain, he trembled but still stood like a javelin, sad and sad that he hoped to put an end to all this evil.

But the black-robed priests, who were burned by the flames but still murmured prayers, were like hungry and thirsty lost people who had found an oasis of life in the desert, pious but greedy, holy but filthy.

The black-robed priests who burned in the raging fire devoured the organs in front of them like martyrs, until the organs were devoured, and the burning black-robed priests sat down cross-legged beside the head of the black goat, holding hands, and sang the final elegy in endless serenity.

As the embers dissipated, five drops of golden blood floated in the air, exuding the fragrant fragrance of grass after the rain and the infinite hope for life.

Until, the low cry of the sheep sounded faintly in the altar, the bright golden blood was like a tired bird returning to the nest, and in the endless gloom in the sheep's mouth, with the faint golden light in the sheep's eyes, the darkness in the cave, accompanied by the black wool of the black goat's head, passed away together.

In the endless warmth and warmth, light and brightness, a crystal ball emerges from the golden goat's eyebrows in the ode to the joy and sorrow of life, love and hate, love and hate.

"Hey, hey, my lord, you are the root of the existence of all things, you are the Lord of all spirits, you are the Lord of life, your golden eyes are watching everything, shining on all things, guarding existence!"

In the warm light full of life, time seemed to go back to the Greenclaw Elder, the rickety back straightened again, and the dull scales returned to their polish.

The green claw elder in the prime of life looked at Xie Zimu on the altar indifferently with his golden eyes, and said lightly: "For your altar, my people have paid too much, too much, it's time, it's time for you to pay back!!"

"Why? you turn your back on us?" a cold serpentine hissing voice suddenly sounded from behind Elder Greenpaw!!
