Chapter 55: A slight change
After successfully obtaining a Heavenly Spirit Grass, the Night God Sacrifice quickly left the towering cliff with a brocade robe and night walk. And Xu Sanbao and the others had already left here before the Night God Sacrifice, and they only needed to use that ancient jade pendant to reunite with them at the Night God Sacrifice.
The Night God Sacrifice withdrew the Heavenly Spirit Grass in his hand into his arms, and heard the roars of the two Sky Devouring Beasts faintly behind him, and the Night God Sacrifice couldn't help but show a touch of schadenfreude on his face.
These five people had planned to use them to contain the spirit beast that guarded the Heavenly Spirit Grass, but in the end they were used by the Night God Sacrifice in turn, and those five people must have felt very aggrieved in their hearts at this moment, and they worked hard to make wedding dresses for others, which was not a good feeling.
After using the jade pendant to sense the position of the other five, the Night God Priest lifted his body and galloped towards the place where the five people were. In just half an hour, the Night God Sacrifice successfully found the five people.
Xu Sanbao and the others couldn't help but show a touch of relief when they saw the Night God Sacrifice return safely, after all, when they retreated before, the Night God Sacrifice did not retreat with it, but stepped forward to deal with the Sky Devouring Beast, buying time for the five of them to escape. This kind of thing is not something that everyone can do.
Of course, this is only the thoughts of some of them, just like that Gu Yuelan, although she saw the Night God Sacrifice rushing towards the two Sky Devouring Beasts with her own eyes, she still didn't believe that the Night God Sacrifice would be the kind of good person who sacrificed himself for others.
In fact, Gu Yuelan's idea was not unreasonable. Because the Night God Sacrifice only turned around to pick the Heavenly Spirit Grass when he was sure at that time, if the situation at that time was really critical, and even enough to threaten everyone's lives, then the Night God Sacrifice would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation.
For Yagami Matsuri, only by continuing to live in this world can he be qualified to talk about revenge and the search for his parents.
Therefore, he would never put himself in danger for the sake of one Heavenly Spirit Grass, before he would use those five people to lure away the Sky Swallowing Beast, that is, he was very sure that the Sky Swallowing Beast would not give up the remaining two Heavenly Spirit Grass because of one Heavenly Spirit Grass.
And the reason why he has such a sharp mind is also because of the many life and death wanderings he has experienced in the two years of training in the Killing God Pavilion.
"Brother Nightgod, it's good that you're okay. Seeing that the Night God Sacrifice had returned safely, Xu Sanbao walked up to the Night God Sacrifice with a smile, and his tone of voice carried a hint of concern.
"Well, because those five people attracted the Heaven Devouring Beast, I successfully got a Heavenly Spirit Grass. The Night God Sacrifice nodded at Xu Sanbao, and then took out the Heavenly Spirit Grass that exuded a wisp of fragrance from his arms and showed it in front of everyone.
"Since those five people successfully attracted two Heaven Devouring Beasts, why did you get back a Heavenly Spirit Grass?"
Just when everyone opened their mouths to praise the Night God Sacrifice for taking back a Heavenly Spirit Grass, an inopportune voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the Night God Sacrifice. Hearing this slightly familiar crisp voice, the Night God Sacrifice looked up, and sure enough, he saw Gu Yuelan looking at him with an unconvinced expression.
The Night God Sacrifice naturally knew the meaning of Gu Yuelan's words, that is, he was questioning that the Night God Sacrifice actually got all the three Heavenly Spirit Grasses in his hands, and at this time, the Night God Sacrifice hid the other two and only took out one Heavenly Spirit Grass to divide it with them.
Although he knew that this Gu Yuelan was deliberately targeting him, the Night God Sacrifice still patiently explained, "Because I only took a Heavenly Spirit Grass, those two Sky Devouring Beasts didn't give up fighting with those five people, and instead came to chase me." If I take all three Heavenly Spirit Grasses, then the two Heaven Devouring Beasts will definitely come after me. ”
After explaining the reason, the Night God Sacrifice looked at Gu Yuelan's eyes with a playful smile, "Could it be that Senior Sister Gu Yuelan wants me to die in the hands of those two Heaven Devouring Beasts for the sake of those three Heavenly Spirit Grasses?"
"No, I've never thought about it that way!" It seemed that because the Night God Sacrifice had seen through her thoughts, Gu Yuelan looked a little flustered at this time, and her tone of voice couldn't help but tremble faintly.
"It doesn't matter if you have hostility towards me in your heart, but I want to make one point here, and that is that I will never choose to sacrifice myself for the so-called collective good. ”
The Night God Sacrifice glanced at Gu Yuelan indifferently, and then his cold and ruthless eyes swept over everyone again, and then said coldly, "In my opinion, this kind of behavior is no different from a fool. So in the event of a real threat to your life, you can always turn away and leave. I will not blame you for doing this, so what you will do at that time is up to you. ”
The reason why Yajin Matsuri said this was because he didn't want people to take it for granted that he would sacrifice an individual for the sake of the so-called collective good. And he would step forward to snatch the Heavenly Spirit Grass today when everyone was retreating, and that was also because he had calculated all this in advance.
Without enough certainty, the Night God Festival would never do such a thing, and his cautious character was almost paranoid to the point of paranoia, but in fact, it was understandable to think about it. Where the disappeared clansmen of the Night God family go, their sister Night God still needs to be taken care of by themselves, and in this situation, there is no reason why the Night God Sacrifice does not worry about his own safety.
As soon as the Night God Festival finished speaking, everyone present fell into a dead silence. In fact, if you think about it carefully, what the Night God Sacrifice said is not unreasonable, who would take care of the so-called collective interests at a critical moment that really threatens their lives? How many people can choose to sacrifice themselves in order to cover the safe departure of their companions?
And when Gu Yuelan saw the Night God Sacrifice saying these words frankly, the expression on her face also changed several times. Ask yourself, can she, Gu Yuelan, sacrifice herself to save her companions when they are in danger? Gu Yuelan's answer to this question in her heart is naturally negative.
But what really surprised her was that the Yashimi was able to speak honestly about all of this, and to say what she really thought about the issue in her heart. In her impression, the Night God Sacrifice was undoubtedly a despicable and shameless villain.
But a real villain will never say these words in front of everyone. A real villain, at such a moment, will inevitably promise that he will sacrifice himself for the sake of his companions and for the interests of the collective, but when it comes to the real moment of life and death, it is this kind of person who betrays his companions first.
And these villains will not only not hesitate to betray their companions who get along day and night for themselves, but will even find sufficient reasons for themselves, and will try their best to cover up the facts afterwards, which is the reaction that the real villains will make.
It's just that the Night God Sacrifice said his thoughts so frankly at this time, but this made Gu Yuelan's impression of him change a little bit. It's just that when she thought that the Night God Sacrifice had cut Lin Feng'er's weak woman's clothes to shreds in front of many inner temple disciples, Gu Yuelan was still dissatisfied with the Night God Sacrifice in her heart.
"That's all I have to say, if you want to follow me, then stay. If any of you can't accept what I've just said, then you can go away. After returning to the inner hall, I will explain to Senior Sister Qin Xiaoyi that leaving now is not considered disobeying her orders. ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, the Night God Sacrifice still maintained that calm appearance, and said with some carelessness.
