Volume 5 Ascending to the Heavenly Realm_Chapter 171 Dead End
Seeing that Sima Xuan wanted to kneel down for himself, Su Wu hurriedly stepped forward and picked Sima Xuan up. patted Sima Xuan on the shoulder and said, "I know that the old man will not be wrong!"
Sima Xuan smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "This is all thanks to the seniors, if there is no senior, the kid doesn't know what will happen!"
Su Wu smiled and said, "Hehe...... Without further ado, let's get down to business. ”
Hearing this, Sima Xuan nodded, and said, "The barbarian sacrifice ceremony mentioned by the predecessors started today?"
"Not bad!" Su Wu said affirmatively, "Today is the sacrificial ceremony, don't you see that every barbarian is very happy today?"
Sima Xuan nodded and said, "This junior has also noticed, why did the senior say that the opportunity to escape has arrived? Aren't we still in prison at the moment?"
Su Wu shook his head and continued: "Don't worry, this is because the sacrificial ceremony has not started yet, and when it starts, they will release us all and go to the scene of the sacrificial ceremony to serve them together." ”
Hearing Su Wu say this, Sima Xuan continued: "At that time, it was the time for us to escape, right?"
"Yes!" replied Su Wu, "when these barbarians are immersed in joy, the care of the slaves will be relaxed, and we will be able to take the opportunity to escape." ”
Sima Xuan nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Senior, have you found a way to restore my strength?"
When Su Wu heard this, the expression on his face was a little helpless and said, "I asked Jace today, but the result is not very optimistic." ”
"What's the result?" asked Sima Xuan anxiously.
Su Wu looked at Sima Xuan's appearance, sighed, and said: "Jace said that this seems to be a unique ability of barbarians, suppressing the operation of true qi in the body, and the more powerful the barbarians, the stronger this ability, I believe that as long as you escape from here, you should not be affected." ”
Sima Xuan nodded thoughtfully, and was about to speak, but he heard the iron door outside being opened. Sima Xuan and Su Wu looked at the corridor together, their hearts were in their throats, although they knew that it was the barbarian sacrifice ceremony outside, but what kind of decision they would make was unpredictable. However, the iron door that was constantly being opened, and the slaves who went out, made Sima Xuan and Su Wu's hearts return to where they should be. Soon, the iron doors of their cells were opened, and the two were kicked out of the cell, and soon the slaves were taken to a large square, where they were divided into groups and led by a barbarian to the rest of the square.
Sima Xuan and Su Wu were taken to a corner of the square, and then a barbarian appeared, leading them into a stone room next to the square, where all kinds of food were placed, and it seemed that they had been assigned to the kitchen. An older orc came over, saw Su Wu, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, you can take him to serve food outside." ”
Su Wu smiled, nodded, and followed Sima Xuan behind him and said, "Come and follow me, wait a minute, the time is not yet ripe." With that, he picked up a large portion of food and walked outside.
Sima Xuan also followed behind Su Wu, picked up a piece of food, and walked out.
The two of them went back and forth like this, carrying food to the barbarians' sacrificial ceremonies. When almost all the food in the stone chamber was taken out, the barbarian from before walked out and followed Su Wu and said, "You guys just stay here first, and when the sacrificial ceremony is over, take some food and go." ”
Su Wu had a smile on his face, and said again and again: "Thank you......"
The barbarian waved his hand and walked out. Su Wu looked at Sima Xuan beside him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Very good, it's good that young people can have such endurance!"
Sima Xuan said with a smile: "The seniors have won the award, the juniors have been here for so long, and the most learned is patience, otherwise the juniors may not live until now." ”
Su Wu nodded and said, "It's almost time, it's time for us to go out and have a look." As he spoke, he walked towards the outside of the stone room. Sima Xuan followed closely and also walked out.
Outside, the lights were bright, and the barbarians were performing some ritual around the altar in the center of the square. Around the altar were a circle of bonfires, and in each layer of bonfires stood a circle of barbarians, and Sima Xuan was quite surprised when he saw this. But he heard Su Wu beside him say: "This is differentiated according to the hierarchy of the barbarians, the closer the barbarian is to the altar, the higher his rank and the greater the power." ”
Sima Xuan nodded and replied, "So that's the case. ”
"Next is the celebration after the sacrifice, and then it's time for you to escape!" Su Wu said lightly.
When Sima Xuan heard this, he felt a little strange, so he asked, "Didn't the senior leave here with me?"
Su Wu shook his head and said, "I won't leave, I've been here for so long, but I feel that this place is more suitable for me, and it will be very unsuitable to return to the Eastern Continent." ”
"Senior ......" Sima Xuan wanted to persuade Su Wu.
But when he saw Su Wu, he waved his hand and said, "Don't persuade me, I have made up my mind." ”
Sima Xuan nodded helplessly, and said nothing more.
At this moment, the sacrifice of the barbarians has ended, and the celebration is about to begin. Su Wu also said: "Okay, it's almost time, let's go!" After speaking, he walked towards the outside of the square.
When he arrived at the exit, Su Wu looked around very carefully, but he didn't see any barbarian guards, so he turned around and made a gesture towards Sima Xuan, who also looked around and quickly came to Su Wu's side. Su Wu lowered his voice and said, "If you get out of here and keep walking towards your east, you will be far away from the jurisdiction of the barbarians, and I believe that your strength will be restored......"
Sima Xuan looked at Su Wu, he didn't know what it was like in his heart, and said: "Thank you seniors, if there are no seniors, I ......"
"Alright!" Su Wu interrupted, "Let's hurry up and leave while no one is there now, remember not to think about coming back for revenge!"
Sima Xuan was a little excited, and his eyes were a little blurry, but he couldn't help it, hugged his fist towards Su Wu, and then turned around and ran out. However, people are not as good as heaven, coincidental things can never be explained, a barbarian who came out of the convenience just saw the scene of Sima Xuan escaping, he immediately yelled, this roar does not matter, the surrounding barbarians also gathered over, Sima Xuan, who had just run out not far away, also heard this roar, when he turned around, he saw Su Wu rushing towards those barbarians, and shouted to himself: "Hurry up, run towards the east!"
Su Wu was able to stop these barbarians, and the two barbarians quickly caught Su Wu, and the other barbarians chased down towards Sima Xuan. Although the barbarians are strong, they are extremely fast. Soon caught up with Sima Xuan, and as the barbarians continued to approach, Sima Xuan also felt that his physical strength was constantly being lost, and it seemed that what the elf said was true, and the barbarians had the special ability to weaken the opponent's physical strength.
Just when Sima Xuan was about to be caught up, Sima Xuan kept running towards the east according to Su Wu's instructions, and at this moment, a mountain stream appeared in front of him, Sima Xuan looked down, the mountain stream was extremely dark, and he couldn't see the bottom at all. He looked back at the barbarians who were about to catch up with him, gritted his teeth, and jumped down the mountain stream. When the barbarians saw Sima Xuan jumping down the mountain stream, they no longer chased after him, but just turned around a few times near the mountain stream and left.
There was a faint sound of water flowing under the mountain stream, and the gravel on the two cliffs fell into the river, causing a splash of water that was more than a foot high.
