Chapter Ninety-Nine: Falling
On the memorial platform, Ye Leng'an propped up there with one hand, and a beautiful smile rolled up at the corner of his mouth, "I hate it when people touch me casually." If you want to touch me, you have to pay a price. β
Contrasting with that beautiful smile was the dagger in her hand that shimmered with cold light, and the bright red blood on the sharp blade was particularly eye-catching. And on her body, there is no bright red on her hands.
"It's you, it's you who hurt my son." Dorjee's eyes were red, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, he was also full of hatred, "I'm going to kill you." β
"It's my hand!" Ye Leng'an smiled innocently, "But, I should also be considered self-defense!" I didn't kill him directly, it was already very face-saving. You know, he wants my life. β
At the end, there was even a hint of regret in that tone. It seems that it is a pity that Nadorocchi was not killed.
Dorjee's eyes became even redder, the whites of those eyes were almost bloodshot, and his facial features became distorted. The face is particularly hideous, and people feel scared when they see it. If someone else hadn't stepped forward to stop him, maybe he would have rushed forward by now and killed Ye Leng'an directly.
The Great Elder looked at Dorjee's excited appearance, and said with a serious expression, "Patriarch, don't be impulsive, focus on the overall situation. The most important thing now is the big thing in the clan, and nothing else matters. Moreover, now she is already a sacrifice, and she will not live to tomorrow. β
Dorjee took a deep breath, tried to calm his mood, and looked at Ye Leng'an's eyes as if he had been quenched with poison, "Ye Leng'an, since you are looking for death yourself, then don't blame me." I'm going to make you watch your blood run out and turn your whole body into a dry corpse. β
Ye Leng'an only thought it was funny, "It's like if I hadn't hurt that wretch, you would have let me go." Don't say it so nicely, from the moment I stepped into this village, you probably didn't plan to let me go! β
She didn't think that this Dorjee was a compassionate rotten person. There are a lot of lives in his hands, and when he thinks about it, sacrifices like today's should have been held in the past, and looking at the crimson blood stains on the ground, he knew that there were a lot of lives left here.
In fact, not only Dorjee, but the entire village is full of murderers, and I don't know how many innocent lives have died here. Thinking about it this way, just now, as long as Doroch has one hand, it is really cheap for him.
Doroki had been carried down at the moment, and the doctors in the clan couldn't help but shake their heads after showing him. They didn't know how Leng An moved his hand that night, but the cut surface was really too flat, and the angles of the cut between the meridians were very tricky, almost all of them were disconnected in the most vulnerable place, so that even if people wanted to connect it, there was no way.
So, after some diagnosis, they could only start stitching Doroch and stopping the bleeding. As for the rest, they can't help it.
After knowing that he was about to become a cripple, Doroqi's eyes, which had turned red from pain, were more like rushing through blood at this moment, which made people tremble when they saw it, and he looked at his mother Harimaya on the side, "Mother, you go and tell your father to let him kill Ye Leng'an as soon as possible." Wait a minute, even if she dies, I'm going to whip the corpse. β
He couldn't accept it at all, and he became a cripple at a young age. He was still happy that he was about to break the curse, but now something like this suddenly happened.
Even if the curse is really broken at that time, and he can leave this village, he is a cripple, and if he walks out like this, what future is there. And all this was brought by Ye Leng'an, a slut, and he would never let her go,
"Lucky, don't worry, your father will avenge you." Harimaya's face was gloomy, she had already lost her disguise at this time, and her whole person looked like an old witch, "That night Leng An is a sacrifice, no matter whether her blood can break the curse or not, after tonight, she will not survive." β
Dizan Maji on the side looked at her husband's appearance, and she didn't feel too distressed, but had a weird pleasure, and even felt that this was retribution.
Of course, she only dared to think like this in her heart, and did not dare to say it casually. Because she knows very well that if she really says it, then she may not be able to stay in this house, or even in this village.
Moreover, if it is really retribution, then she, as an accomplice, is no better. However, she is not afraid of retribution falling on herself, she is afraid that retribution will fall on her son.
However, now that things have come to this point, it is too late to say it. She has done too many bad things, and she can't go back for a long time. Now she only hopes that her son can have a way to leave this village, see the outside world, and live a good life.
Dorjee on the other side also knew his son's condition at this moment, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes became even colder, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Facing Dorjee's gaze, Ye Leng'an did not hesitate to meet him, without flinching at all, "It seems that I know the result!" Actually, you don't have to worry too much, it's just that he's just a cripple, and he's good compared to those flower girls who have lost their lives here. β
Although until now, she didn't know a lot about the things in this village. But she knows one thing, that is, there are many people like her who have been sent to the altar.
"It is their glory to be able to be dedicated to the great Gu God." Dorjee had a crazy smile on his face, "Moreover, they walked into our village by themselves, and it was God who helped us choose, no wonder anyone." β
He never felt like he was at fault. People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth are destroyed, they have been trapped in this ghost place for generations, and now they want to save themselves, is it wrong?
"It's just a fallacy." The corners of Ye Leng'an's mouth hooked up a disdainful smile, "Although I don't know what is going on with you, if you really think it is glory, then why don't you let your daughter become a sacrifice!" At the end of the day, it's you who are selfish. β
"Whatever you want," a sinister smile appeared on Dorjee's face, "you have now become a sacrifice and are about to be sacrificed, and you will not see the sun tomorrow." β
"Huh, huh?" Hearing Dorjee's words, the smile on Ye Leng'an's face didn't change at all, and he couldn't even see the slightest fear, "Do you think you can really treat me as a sacrifice today?" You know, there's a fine line between a hunter and a prey, so how can you be sure that you're the hunter? β
"What do you mean?" The Second Elder, who had been uneasy, couldn't help but stand up and take a step forward after hearing Ye Leng'an's words, "You did it on purpose?" Isn't it? β
From the very beginning, his heart had been beating wildly, as if something was about to happen that they couldn't control.
After seeing that Ye Leng'an was not stunned as they imagined, but awake, and even cut off one of Doroqi's hands, the sense of foreboding in his heart was even stronger. Moreover, looking at the cold appearance of that night, there was no trace of fear at all, which was even more abnormal.
In the past, those girls who were chosen as sacrifices, if they accidentally woke up in the middle of the process, were so frightened that they couldn't speak. Even if you are really brave, you will look for a chance to see if you can escape. Although they all end up the same, they will still try to escape.
However, now that night was cold, after waking up on the altar, there was no trace of fear and panic, but instead calmly talked to them, as if he had already guessed all this.
Even, how the dagger got into her hand just now, no one knows at all. After she moved the knife, she didn't even change a little, which only means one thing, it's not the first time she's done this.
Such a girl, how could they easily calculate it. Unless, the other party did it on purpose.
"Second Elder, what do you mean?" After hearing the words of the second elder, Dorjee's eyebrows jumped, and he seemed to be a little refreshed at the moment in those unreasonable places just now.
The other three elders were not stupid, and naturally they also heard the meaning of the second elder's words.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Ye Leng'an solemnly, always vigilant to see if the other party was going to play any tricks.
"Looks like I've reacted!" Ye Leng'an was still sitting there, looking light and breezy, "I'm curious, what's going on with your stockade?" Also, are you all raising Gu? β
In fact, what she was most interested in was Gu worms. As a healer, she actually didn't know much about Gu worms, so she wanted to figure it out. Of course, she was also very curious about why the people in this village couldn't get out.
"You know?" Dorjee's eyes widened, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes became more and more vigilant, "What is the purpose of your coming to our village?" β
After thinking through everything, when they looked at Ye Leng'an again, they didn't just see each other as a sacrifice, as their prey.
"You don't need to know my purpose," Ye Leng'an chuckled and shook his head, "You just need to know that you can't help me today, that's fine." However, at this point, I am afraid that there is no way for us to talk to each other properly. β
After speaking, Ye Leng'an stood up directly, holding a dagger in her hand, and when she looked at the people in the village, there was no extra emotion in her eyes, as if these people were just ants in her eyes.
Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Dorjee smiled disdainfully, "I thought you had some tricks!" That's just it! You won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that you can escape from here today alone! β
When he just saw Leng An's confident appearance that night, he thought that the other party had arranged something, so he was so calm. Now it seems that Ye Leng'an wants to rely on the strength of one person and then leave here. Heh, that's a joke.
No matter how powerful Ye Leng'an is, it is impossible to escape.
"Can you leave, won't you know if you try?" Ye Leng'an sneered, "Even if I can't escape today, I can kill a few people, I can be regarded as earning it, right?" β
When he said this, Ye Leng'an looked at Dorjee and the other four elders, "Perhaps, I should kill a few of you now, wait a minute, the dragons have no leader, and my chances of escaping are greater, isn't it?" β
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Dorjee and the four elders changed greatly, and they immediately stood together. Then, Dorjee took out a small piccolo from his pocket and began to blow.
Hearing that sharp voice, Ye Leng'an clenched the dagger in his hand a little, and his eyes were also observing the surroundings.
It wasn't long before she heard the sound of Sith falling, and then she saw a lot of snakes, insects, rats, and ants gathering in the direction of the altar where she was. Moreover, these are not ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it can be seen that these are poisonous.
From this hand, Ye Leng'an was sure that the people here definitely had Gu cultivation. Moreover, this Duoji is probably still one of the good hands, no wonder he can sit firmly in the position of the patriarch.
For these things, although Ye Leng'an was not afraid, she couldn't help but get goosebumps when she saw this dense crowd of snakes, insects, rats and ants. She felt that after today's events, she might suffer from intensive phobias.
The people in this stockade obviously didn't intend to let her leave here. Or, in other words, these people are already numb to such a thing! After all, there are quite a few flower girls who have died here.
In that case, there is no need for her to show mercy. No one in this stockade can stay. Otherwise, even if Dorjee and these four elders died, there would still be others on top. When the time comes, those girls who strayed into this place, if they are chosen, will inevitably die in this place in the end.
There is no place for such sin.
Thinking of this, Ye Leng'an's eyes were cold, and with a wave of one hand, the natal flame came out, and directly burned all the snakes, insects, rats and ants that surrounded him.
However, in an instant, the snakes, insects, rats and ants that were still dense had completely disappeared, and as soon as the wind blew, they dissipated directly, leaving only a faint smell of burning.
Ye Leng'an's hand made Dorjee wait until he was shocked, and his originally confident expression changed, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his expression was even more shocked.
"Who the hell are you?" The Great Elder stepped forward, "Are you an Ability, a Fire-type Ability?" β
Although he had been trapped in this place, the Great Elder still vaguely knew something about the things outside. So, when he saw the sudden flames, the first thing he thought of was the Adept.
"My business has nothing to do with you." Ye Leng'an looked cold, "However, after doing so many bad things that have lost your conscience, today I am your retribution." β
At this moment, Dorjee and several elders glanced at each other, and then nodded.
Seeing the movements of these people, Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, and then a sense of danger flashed in his heart. It's just that before she could do anything, she felt empty under her feet, and a big hole suddenly appeared in the ground. Before she could react, she had already fallen.
However, as she fell, a black figure seemed to follow her.
Dorjee and the others didn't see anything clearly, and the big hole that appeared on the ground had disappeared again and returned to its original state, as if it had never appeared.
"Who was the person who went down with you just now?" The second elder frowned, his expression a little dark, "Are they those who came with her?" β
"It shouldn't be possible." Dorjee shook his head, "Those people have all been locked up, and it is impossible for them to be here at this time." β
"Forget it, no matter who he is, if he falls together, it will be impossible to live." The Great Elder shook his head, "There's no need to struggle with a dead person. However, today's sacrifice is afraid that it will not be able to continue. β
The sacrifice will definitely not be carried out, and now that the sacrifices are gone, where is it possible to continue!
"That's a shame." The third elder touched his beard, and his tone was full of regret, "This Ye Leng'an is the most suitable sacrifice for many years. If the sacrifice is carried out tonight, then perhaps, the curse in our stockade has been lifted at this moment. β
As soon as the words came out, everyone fell silent. After such a experience, everyone's mood was very low. Originally, everyone came here today with hope. However, now it has come to naught. It can be said that the disappointment is as strong as everyone's hope just now.
"There's no way around it." The second elder opened his mouth and sighed, "This night Leng An is obviously prepared. She is not an ordinary person, and if she is really tough, then it is impossible to say how many dead and injured there will be in our village tonight. Moreover, I'm afraid that in the end, there will be no way to catch that night of Leng An, it will also be empty. β
Of course, the most important thing is that if there is a real fight, the first to be injured or even lose their lives are the old guys on the sacrificial platform.
Although they are not young, they still cherish their lives. Therefore, without too much hesitation, they love is chosen in such a way to save themselves.
"The Second Elder is right." The four elders also stood up at this time and said, "If we really let Ye Leng'an go on a killing spree here, then we don't know what will become of our village." Now that's the best way to go. β
The people in the stockade in the open space below naturally saw what had just happened on the altar. They were a little unconvinced by the actions of the patriarch and several elders. After all, Ye Leng'an has been the most suitable sacrifice for so many years, and it is also their greatest hope, but now that it is gone, how can their hearts be comfortable!
However, when faced with the patriarch and the four elders, they could only admit it.
Besides, you must know that the reason why the patriarch and the four elders can have such a status is not only because they are old and highly respected, but most importantly, their Gu skills are definitely the best, so they can be recognized by everyone in the village. Now that they have decided, they can only obey.
And, at the end of the day, no one is not afraid of death. If you really lost your life today because of the night cold An went on a killing spree, it wouldn't be worth it. Although they can't get out of this place, if the price of going out is to pay for their lives, then they don't want to. After all, if there is no life, then everything is empty talk.
"What are those people going to do?" The elder of the four wars asked, "It's those people who came with Ye Leng'an, if they get out alive, it will definitely be a fatal blow to our village." β
Although I don't know what the identities of Leng An and Huangfu Ruiling were that night, the two of them don't look simple. Today they have completely offended people, and if they are really allowed to leave, they will definitely be retaliated.
After thinking about it, Dorjee said, "This Huangfu Ruiling should not be an ordinary person, I think if he can listen to us, it will definitely be a good thing for us." β
"What do you mean, give Huang Fu Ruiling a Gu?" The Great Elder immediately understood what Dorjee meant, "But, this person doesn't seem to be simple, can he really control him?" β
"Great Elder, don't say anything else, I have absolute confidence in Gu worms." Speaking of this, Dorjee's face was full of confidence, "As long as we can use the Gu worm to control this Huangfu Ruiling and let him be used by us, then if we want to find the next sacrifice, I'm afraid it won't be so difficult!" β
This is still the way he suddenly thought of in a flash of inspiration. Ye Leng'an fell, it was definitely impossible to get out alive. Moreover, there is absolutely no exit from that place.
If they continue to wait for the next sacrifice like this, they don't know if they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, or even if they will be able to wait until their lifetime.
However, if there was Huangfu Ruiling's help, it would be different. There are so many people outside, with the identity of Huangfu Ruiling, it is definitely easy to find the right one. As long as they know, then they can perform the sacrifice again.
The most important thing is that if the one time is not suitable, they can also find a second one, try a few more times, and it will always be successful.
After listening to Dorjee's words, the eyes of the four elders lit up. Obviously, they are very much in favor of this approach. At the same time, I also felt extremely excited. The feeling of loss just now because of the loss of the sacrifice of Ye Leng'an disappeared at this moment.
The Great Elder directly decided, "Those people will be locked up first, and from today onwards, the four of us will assist the Patriarch together to refine a puppet Gu that can control Huangfu Ruiling as soon as possible." β
The others have no opinion at all.
Soon, all the people in the stockade dispersed. However, after knowing that there was a better way, the mood of the crowd was much better.
