Green candlelight flickered on the walls, and books lay quietly on the old and even moldy shelves.

Zuo Yang stood in front of one of the bookshelves, looking at the book in his hand and falling into deep thought.

He smashed the devices and ran in, and ended up in this library-like place.

When he first arrived here, Zuo Yang was very surprised, it was hard for him to imagine that there was a library in the place where such a group of monsters were, but it also aroused Zuo Yang's curiosity.

Data, data is the most important thing! Since coming here, the analysis function of Zuoyang's aura control system has been scrapped, and everything around him is out of his comprehension.

Since there is a library here, there must be information about their location.

Zuo Yang rummaged through one bookshelf after another, making sure that not a single book was left behind, and not a single piece of information was missed.

After searching for a long time, Zuo Yang gradually became disappointed, because the books here were written in a language he had never seen before.

The "language" is disorganized, like a child under the age of a month who is holding a pen and drawing it on paper, and Zuo Yang calls it "language" because they are in a book, and if they appear on the ground, he will never look at them more.

Finally, when he found the eleventh bookshelf in Zuoyang, he found a dusty book in the corner.

He picked up the book and dusted it off, revealing a few large characters written in Old English.

"...... the History of Mouth Town" Zuoyang's language system automatically translated the title of the cover, and suddenly there was a surge of excitement.

After so long here, Zuo Yang finally found something that he could read!

Zuo Yang flipped through it hungrily, like a child who had just gotten a new toy.

The book is written entirely in Old English, and as the title suggests, the book chronicles the history of a small town called "Mouth Town", a town full of tragedy.

According to the date recorded above, this is already a story of 1,000 years ago.

The town of Mouth is a border town far away in Youzhou, this town is close to the coast, the people of the town are fishing for a living, the traffic is blocked, the thinking is conservative, it can be said that it is backward and closed.

There is a clear class in the town, but this class is not divided by wealth, but by faith.

The whole town worships a god named Zat, whom they call the ancient god Zat.

Legend has it that Zat's palace was built at a deep seabed, and he was the ruler of the sea, and as long as he served Zat devoutly, he could drive away the terrifying storms of the sea and harvest endless fat fish.

The way to serve Zath is to perform the rituals of the old gods.

It is a dark and evil ritual.

The ritual priests would tie the strangers to a stone platform by the sea, behind which was a huge statue of Zat. After the priests had prayed, they would "purify" the strangers with their own blood and summon the messengers of Zat through specific spells.

The messenger of Zat would possess the huge stone statue and take the sacrifice with him.

Such a dark and evil ritual is performed by the people of the mouth every month, which is bound to consume a large number of strangers.

But the town of Mouth is blocked by traffic, how to find outsiders?

They have their own methods.

Every year, the people of Mouth Town exclude some sailors from going to sea and spread the word about Mouth Town everywhere.

In the news that the town of Mouth is a rich and beautiful place, the taverns are full of refreshing wines, and the restaurants can easily eat delicious fish dishes. Crucially, the news hinted that there was an abundance of gold deep within the town of Mouth, enough to sustain generations.

As they spread the rumours, these sailors would also print large numbers of maps for distribution to outsiders, showing the route to the town of Mouth.

The lure of enough gold to sustain generations was immeasurable at the time, but most people just heard it as a legend.

But one day, a man who claimed to have just returned from Mouth Town appeared, and he took out a large barrel of gold, and bragged to the people around him about how he found Mouth Town, and how he deduced the traces of gold according to the clues, and found this large barrel of gold.

Suddenly the town of Mouth turned from legend to reality, and the outlanders could no longer control their greed, and a large number of fanatical gold diggers began to search for the town according to the map.

No matter how remote the location is, no matter how closed the traffic, greed can drive human beings to overcome all difficulties.

In this way, groups of outlanders found the town of Mouth, and searched for traces of gold in this frontier town as much as possible.

But where did the gold come from in Mouthtown, and the man who found it was a pretending to be a citizen of Mouthtown, and it was all just a hoax.

Countless outlanders have fallen into the traps set by the townsfolk and have been restrained with a special green potion and stored as living sacrifices.

The male Glanders would offer the Zath directly, while the female Glanders would first have them conceive the priests' heirs, and then offer them to the Zath in the month after the birth of the sacrificial offspring, for in the teachings there is a strange fragrance for a month after the female childbearing ends, which is the favorite of the Zat.

Zuo Yang closed the book and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that Zuo Yang, Lin Qingyu and Su Qing have fallen into a trap, and those half-human, half-fish monsters should be the mouthtownspeople recorded in the book, whether it is the strange ritual, the terrifying statue, or the trick of deception through the treasure map.

But the strange thing is, what really happened in this millennium? Why did the townspeople of Mouth change from normal humans to half-human, half-fish monsters, why did people from a small town on the border of Youzhou run away to a large forest in Shenzhou, and why was this one the only book in Old English, while the others were symbols of chaos?

Zuo Yang also wanted to continue to find some information to solve his own problems, but obviously the person in front of him did not intend to give him this time.

Not far away, a half-human, half-fish monster was approaching Zuo Yang step by step, and there was no anger on the scaly face, but a bit of banter.

"I've searched every place in the messenger's body, but I didn't expect you to be here!" The monster shouted.

Zuo Yang was shocked, this monster was able to speak.

But he quickly calmed down, and since he could speak, he would definitely be able to get more information through communication.

"Who are you?" Zuo Yang asked.

"Kagon, leader of the great Gonkara." The monster stood five meters away from the left, and had no intention of making a move.

"The Gomakra clan? You're not a mouthful? Zuo Yang wondered.

"Mouth Town...... It's been a long time since we've heard this name......" Kagon's words were full of nostalgia, "since we received the blessing of the old god Zat two hundred years ago and became a family, no one has ever said this name. ”

"Why are you here? It's half a planet away from Youzhou. ”

"Heh, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Kagon pointed to the ceiling above his head and said, "More than a hundred years ago, after the abomination of the curse appeared, the old god Zath sent his messenger to swallow the entire town of Mouth, and since then we have lived in the space inside the messenger's body. ”

"You mean, this is the emissary's belly?"

"So to speak," Kagon nodded, "the messenger takes us around the world, spreading invitations and looking for suitable offerings. ”

"Sure enough, it's your trap!" Zuo Yang was shocked on the surface, but the spiritual power had been concentrated in his right hand, and he could enter the battle state at any time.

"Don't say it so ugly," Kagon's blood-red eyes stared at Zuo Yang, "If it weren't for the greed in your hearts, how could you go to the appointment, right?" ”

"That's a nice thing to say," Zuo Yang snorted coldly, "For more than a thousand years, it's hard to imagine how many people you have harmed with this trick!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Yang's right hand aura condensed into an ice crystal long sword, and he used force under his feet in an instant, and rushed to Kagon in an instant, brushing a few swords to take his head.

But Nakagon didn't move a single step, and his upper body twisted at various incredible angles, and he was able to dodge Zuo Yang's deadly sword technique.

Then Zuo Yang was hit in the abdomen, and he was kicked out by Kagon.

"Tsk, are you in such a hurry to become a sacrifice?" Kagon walked over to Zuoyang with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, we are in the emissary's body, and the ceremony will go on quickly." It takes time for the ceremony venue to be cleaned up, so let's have a good chat. I'm curious about your human world. ”
