After a few more days, Zi suddenly brought Qin Zhao a piece of news.

"According to the high priest, in ten days, there will be a tide of beasts."

"Beast tide ......" Qin Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this, and groaned.

He had heard that the reason why the main city was built in the northernmost part of the human territory was to protect against the wise beasts of the north.

For countless years, the two sides have also clashed from time to time.

It's just that human beings, under the protection of the "Rat God", have never let the other party take advantage of it.

But there are a lot of doubts in it.

The first is the reason.

Qin Zhao really couldn't understand why the northern beasts couldn't get along with humans

Once, he also tentatively asked the shrine maiden Mingshu this question.

Ming Shu seemed to be very unimpressed, but said, "Where is the need for any reason?" ”

Looking at each other's expressions, it seems that it is like a person who wants to eat and drink, without the slightest strangeness.

At that time, Qin Zhao was secretly awe-inspiring in his heart, and he didn't mention it anymore.

If it is a survival instinct of the two races on this continent, then why is it that the wild beasts always attack the south, but the humans never think of exterminating the northern beasts?

In the Canglan Realm, the alien race often invaded Great Xia, and that was for the rich land of the human race, as well as the food to fill the stomach.

But in this Fengyang Continent, what is the use of those beasts asking for these southern lands?

Can they farm? Even if you really know how to farm, the environment in the northern jungle is not necessarily worse than that in the south.

What's more, the beast, to say that it is a taxon, that would be too broad.

Even with intelligence, can rabbits live with wolves?

It's the relationship between each other's food and hunters, how can it be mixed together.

In terms of instinct, the relationship between the natural enemies of wild beasts is probably much greater than that of humans.

"There's definitely something wrong with that! What attracts them? ”

If Qin Zhao didn't care much about these things before, it had nothing to do with him after all.

But now that the key point suddenly came out, he had to pay attention to a few points.

And the high priest, on what basis did he judge that there would be a beast tide in the last ten days?

While thinking, he said to Zi Chuanyin, "Is there anything wrong with the high priest these days?" ”

"The high priest is the same as before, nothing has changed, but something is wrong with the shrine maiden."

"Oh?" Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then reacted, it seems that Mingshu has indeed come less in the past few days.

But this matter is not important to him. Compared to the High Priest, Ming Shu is only a small role after all.

Skipped the matter and said in a deep voice: "Have you learned anything about the cause of the beast tide?" ”

"There are no clear clues yet." Naturally, Purple will not ignore the suspicions in this matter, and she has always paid great attention to all the details.

"There's some speculation though."

"Tell me about it."

"The beasts of the north may also have something to do with the so-called 'gods' of this world."

"Well, it's very likely." Qin Zhao nodded slowly, confirming her guess.

This guess should be the most plausible.

With this intention and ability, it stands to reason that there is no doubt that the "Rat God" is the "Rat God".

As for the reason, it is also very simple, it is convenient to collect faith.

If human beings had no sense of crisis, would they still be so wholeheartedly worshipping and worshiping as they are now?

The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, this is the simple truth.

Although the "gods" certainly cannot be called "lackeys", the meaning is not much different after all.

The so-called self-respect of the Kou is like this.

But that's just a possibility.

Even Qin Zhao instinctively felt that this guess was wrong. But he couldn't say what the problem was, and he always had some clues.

To be honest, judging from Ming Shu's previous reactions, I am afraid that there is a deep hidden secret, and Qin Zhao doesn't want to delve further.

His plan for the next step is clear.

Collect your luck, get some potatoes to bring home, and find a way to use it.

As for other things, there is no need to get involved.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do when the beast tide comes?"

While Qin Zhao was pondering, Zi asked again.

However, this question is probably asked for Yan Qingjun, who is at the core of the power of the temple at this time.

"You don't have to do anything, just keep an eye on the high priest." Qin Zhao's expression was indifferent, and he didn't have the slightest intention of making a move for the humans of this continent.

Not to mention that this matter is full of suspicions, even if it is really the instinct of the beast, what does it have to do with him?

To be honest, if it doesn't hurt you, then the gang will help.

But this is clearly impossible.

Qin Zhao will not do the things of sacrificing himself for others, he is the human emperor of Great Xia, and he is also responsible for the soldiers under his command.

will not use their own lives to help a group of strange races.

To the world, he was just a passer-by after all.

What's more, for so many years, since human beings can confront wild beasts, they must have their own methods, so why do they need him to help.

......

The next day, the high-ranking members of the temple met again.

In addition to the high priestess, shrine maidens, and holy women, there were also many priests who participated, and there were even high-ranking people who came from the branch hall.

This is all because of the response of the beast tide that the high priest spoke of earlier.

And among these priests, there are many people who are possessed by the generals of the Yulin Army.

"The beasts of the north have begun to move, so get ready."

The high priest said indifferently, his face solemn and calm, and he did not appear panicked because of the disaster that came.

"Your Majesty, what level of beast tide is this time?" A priest asked tentatively.

"Tide of blood."

The High Priest was silent for a moment, then whispered the answer.

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was originally quite calm seemed a little flustered.

Even Mingshu and the current "saint" Yan Qingjun all showed surprise.

In the past few days, Yan Qingjun has also had a general understanding of the situation of the beast tide.

There are five levels, namely white, gray, blue, black, and blood.

Among them, the blood tide means that the northern beasts almost poured out of their nests, which is rare in a hundred years.

Every time a beast tide of this level appears, it can be said that a catastrophe is coming.

"What's the panic? Blessed by the Rat God. The high priest glanced at the exclamations and immediately suppressed his voice.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?"

Seeing that her expression was calm, the rest of the people's minds also eased.

Yes, there is a rat god, so what are you afraid of?

Although the people in the field have not experienced this level of beast tide, their predecessors have the experience of resisting it.

If you can get through it before, why can't you now?

"Let's prepare for the sacrificial ceremony."

The High Priest sighed softly and said in a deep voice.

When Yan Qingjun heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't speak.

She didn't know what the high priest meant by "sacrificial ritual."

"Ah......h

He asked softly, "Does it have to be like this?" ”
