Chapter 283: Unspeakable (Thanks to Book Friend Yu Long for the Reward)

Following the flow of people in the city, the five of Su Xing soon arrived in the central area of the Holy City.

Because Su Xing and his party, except for Yongsong, were all members of the Hive Clan, so it naturally attracted the attention of countless residents of the Holy City.

But more people still set their eyes on the high platform in the central square.

β€”β€”On the high platform, there was a girl whose hands and feet were tied with hemp rope, and judging by her appearance, her age should be no more than twenty-eight years.

In front of the girl, an old man in a white robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground, muttering something in his mouth.

Not surprisingly, this should be the "sacrifice ceremony" in the mouth of the guard before.

On the high platform of the square.

With the whispered chant of the white-robed priest, the girl's whole body trembled uncontrollably.

It was as if she had seen something horrible and horrific, her eyes widened and she let out a terrible wail.

Finally, someone in the square couldn't stand it.

"Let my girl go!" In the crowd, an adult male who looked like the girl's father rushed to the platform, trying to untie the girl's rope.

However, not long after this person rushed to the high platform, he was stopped by several Holy Kingdom guards on the stage.

Looking at his daughter's tragic condition, a trace of resentment flashed in the man's eyes.

But soon, the resentment in the man's eyes disappeared, and he sobbed and said, "I beg you, can you let the Holy Lord let my daughter go?"

"Bold!"

The moment the man said "Holy Lord", the white-robed priest stood up from the ground.

Meanwhile.

Su Xing, who was under the stands, also felt an inexplicable terrifying pressure enveloping him after the man said the word "Holy Lord".

Wrong.

Su Xing soon realized that this pressure didn't seem to be coming at him.... but to all the inhabitants of the Holy City present.

And it's not just Su Xing.

The rest of the residents of the Holy City around the high platform also felt the pressure of inexplicable terror.

The crowd either looked frightened or fearful, and lowered their heads as if they were afraid of being noticed by some terrifying being.

For a moment, the central square became audible, and only the girl's continuous wailing continued to echo in the central square.

But fortunately, the oppressive atmosphere did not last long.

"Praise be to the Holy Lord!"

After the standard sentence began, the priest broke the strange silence of the square, and shouted angrily at the man, "You should be happy that your girl is going to be sacrificed to the Holy Lord, how can you cry like this?"

The priest taught, "Is it not the death of a man in the house? You are so pessimistic, and you spread pessimism like this, beware that I will let people arrest you!"

On a high platform.

The man sobbed a few times, glanced at the guards around him, and then forced a smile: "Praise the Holy Lord! I'm sorry, I was a little too happy just now, that's why I lost control of my emotions, and I'm not complaining."

"Whew..."

As soon as these words came out, Su Xing could clearly hear the sound of countless people around him.

And as the man bowed his head and admitted his mistake, the terrifying coercion that enveloped the entire square gradually faded with the passage of time.

After this episode, the sacrificial ceremony continued.

The white-robed priest sat cross-legged on the high platform and continued to whisper prayers.... As she prayed, the girl's wail grew weaker and weaker.

Meanwhile.

The middle-aged man who had been silently watching from the high platform, and at the same time dared not speak out, was also trying to suppress the anger in his heart.

His expression was sometimes angry.

But whenever you notice that someone pays attention to you, you will immediately change to a smiling face.

And so it was a quarter of an hour or so.

"Ahh

Finally, after the girl on the high platform roared like a return to the light, she gradually rose to the sky

Disappeared in plain sight.

At this point, the sacrificial ceremony ends ....

In the midst of the crowd.

After seeing this strange scene, Si Su lowered his voice and couldn't help but say to Su Xing: "Master Su, why did that woman just now disappear inexplicably? And the Holy Lord..."

I don't know why.

At the moment when Si Su said the word "Holy Lord", that inexplicable terrifying aura once again enveloped Su Xing's whole body.

But fortunately, Su Xing reacted in a timely manner and interrupted the other party, "Praise the Holy Lord!"

After saying this, Su Xing didn't forget to look around.

Seeing that no one else noticed this, Fang cautiously said, "This is not the place to talk, we had better find out the situation here first.... Until then, it's better not to speak lightly."

"Okay..."

Although Si Su is just a hive drone and has not seen much of the world, others are not stupid.

By this time, I had already understood that I should not say the word "Holy Lord" at will, otherwise a great terror would befall me.

So he nodded and said, "Master Su, I just saw on the way here, there seems to be a tavern on the street, why don't we ..."

"Don't be in a hurry to find a place to live yet."

Su Xing calmly analyzed: "This holy city is really evil, we might as well inquire in the city first, if the situation is not right, then leave the holy city directly, even if it is sleeping in the wilderness, it is better than losing our lives in this ghost place."

I don't know why.

At the moment when Su Xing said this, that indescribable terror enveloped him again.

Su Xing could clearly feel that this terrifying aura was spreading towards the surrounding area with him as the center.

From this, it is not difficult to see that this terrifying aura is specifically aimed at him....

At the critical moment, Su Xing was like a blessing to his heart, and immediately realized that there were some great rebellious contents in what he said earlier.

Then he immediately changed his words: "Praise the Holy Lord! I didn't mean to say that this holy city is bad, I like to live in the holy city, I like the atmosphere and the customs here!"

In the Holy City, the words of man seem to have infinite magic.

The terrifying aura that enveloped Su Xing's whole body appeared from his previous words, and it also disappeared because of his current words....

on the streets.

I don't know for what purpose.

After the terrifying aura disappeared, the middle-aged man who had lost his daughter due to the sacrificial ceremony suddenly walked towards Su Xing and the others.

"Praise be to the Holy Lord!"

The man stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to Su Xing and the others, "You.... Did you come here from somewhere else?"

"I..."

Su Xing wanted to say something, but saw the man shake his head slightly, as if signaling Su Xing not to speak first.

Then the man whispered, "You haven't found a place to live yet, have you? Why don't you come to me and rest for the night, if you want to know anything, I can tell you slowly."

on the streets.

Su Xing, 056, Bing Bee 018, Si Su and Yongsong all glanced at each other.

After exchanging glances, they all followed the man without saying a word, into a dilapidated, humble courtyard.

In the yard.

The man spread the pen and paper he had taken out of the house on the stone table in the courtyard and wrote, "If you have anything to say, just write it down on paper."

Again, the man wrote, "In the holy city, do not speak lightly..."
