Chapter 21 Good news, the ceremony went very well
Upon hearing the cult priest's prayer, Duncan immediately stopped cutting off the soul projection and returning to the Lost Land.
He looked at the masked priest in front of him who had just finished his fanatical prayer like a fool, and watched the knife in his hand that seemed to be carved from obsidian being held high, and he watched as the worshippers around the altar became excited one by one, and chanted in unison the name of their "Lord" and the "true sun god" that had fallen and broken apart in the legend for many years.
They were to offer this "sacrifice" of themselves to the sun god by offering the heart of the sacrifice.
Now Duncan finally understood the origin of the deplorable situation in the cave before, and understood the madness and evil of these cultists.
Then, he saw the masked priest take a step towards him, and a layer of pitch-black flames suddenly appeared on the surface of the obsidian knife held in the other person's hand.
This striking supernatural phenomenon instantly made Duncan curious, and he guessed whether this knife was also some kind of "anomalous" object, guessed whether the priest in front of him was some kind of "special human" who could harness extraordinary powers, guessed how many special humans like this were in the civilized society of this world, and what kind of social role they might play.
At the same time, he watched expressionlessly as the small knife that burned black flames stabbed down and stabbed straight into his chest, making a hollow muffled sound that pierced several layers of rags.
The flames burned inside a few times, but nothing was burned.
On the totem pole behind him, the blazing fireball suddenly emitted a series of unsettling crackling explosions, which seemed to be mixed with some kind of tearing, dizzying noise, Duncan vaguely felt as if something was permeating the fireball, it was a cold and crazy "touch", it was difficult for him to describe this feeling, not only because the temporary occupancy of the body was dull, but also because it was beyond any of his previous perceptual experiences—he only knew one thing, In this world where transcendent phenomena are real, there is no doubt that the sacrificial ritual of this priest in front of him is in serious trouble.
The mutation of the "symbolic sun" on the totem pole immediately attracted the attention of the nearest believers, accompanied by a few suppressed exclamations, the scene quickly quieted down from the frenzy, and even the two black-robed people who were holding Duncan's arms on both sides seemed to be shocked by something, let go of their hands in horror, and bowed down to the totem pole in fear, and the priest holding the obsidian knife was even more frozen in place, he still maintained the posture of holding the blade, but stared at the face of the "sacrifice" in front of him, through the opening in the mask, Duncan could see a pair of eyes that were in confusion and confusion.
Duncan tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth, finally squeezing out an eerie smile, he slowly raised his right hand and placed it on the priest's hand gripping the obsidian knife, and wisps of green flame flowed and penetrated like water, slowly wrapping around the knife.
Almost instantly, Duncan felt the "feedback" from the knife, but strangely, the feeling of the feedback was faint and empty, as if the knife was just some shoddy imitation, and only a little "borrowed power" was lodged in the empty shell.
But for him, it doesn't matter if the knife is an imitation or not.
He tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled at the priest, and said unhurriedly, "I have to say two things. ”
In the next moment, the priest felt that the connection between himself and the obsidian knife was suddenly disturbed by some external force, and his sincere and fanatical belief in the sun god was directly severed as if it had hit an impregnable barrier.
"First, I'm a big-hearted man — you see, so big."
Duncan tore off the rags of cloth that had been cut by a knife at the moment, revealing a shocking hole, through which the priest who presided over the sacrifice ceremony could even clearly see the picture behind Duncan.
"Second, try to avoid offering expired food to your Lord."
Duncan gently pushed away the priest's hand, and for some reason, after he wrapped the obsidian knife with the green spirit fire, the priest in front of him seemed to have lost most of his strength at once, so that Duncan's current weak physical strength could easily push this tall priest away.
And after being pushed away, the priest seemed to react suddenly, and a great horror and anger enveloped him, his muscles trembled, and he raised his hand to Duncan, as if he was about to restore order in the sacrificial arena with a loud shout: "Dead and resurrected filth!" It's a resurrected ghost! You have desecrated this sacred sacrificial ritual! Filth...... Which daring necromancer is behind you?! Aren't you afraid of the power of the sun?! ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about," Duncan said casually as he glanced at the obsidian knife he held in his hand, feeling the faint feedback of power in the knife, and then he glanced up at the priest in front of him, listening to the crackling noise coming from the totem pole behind him, a bold idea suddenly popped up, "But I suddenly wanted to satisfy my curiosity." ”
After speaking, he suddenly raised the obsidian knife in his hand, and in front of the surrounding group of black-robed believers who were still in a state of chaos and panic, he pointed at the masked priest and said loudly:
"O High and Holy Sun God! Accept the sacrifice on this high platform! I offer you the heart of this sacrifice, and may you return it from blood and fire! ”
In the next second, he saw the flames on the obsidian knife suddenly rise, and the cold touch escaping from the totem pole behind him suddenly retracted, and pointed at the masked priest not far away, Duncan saw that the priest suddenly showed a frightened look, he seemed to want to leave the high platform immediately, but the speed of the knife was faster than him-
The knife flew straight out of Duncan's hand, and it was pulled by some invisible force, wrapped in the burning black flames and the faintly entangled green fire, and pierced straight into the priest's chest, and in the latter's terrible scream, the cult leader's chest was pierced directly, and his heart was reduced to ashes in an instant.
In the next second, the knife was back in Duncan's hand, and it was this back and forth, and the little power contained in it seemed to have finally been completely exhausted.
It is known that there are two people in the sacrifice range of the cult altar, one of them has a heart and one has no heart, and a certain evil god wants to come to the heart of a person today to taste it, and ask-who will lose the heart?
Of course, it has to be the one with a heart.
But even if this logic is true, the whole thing still went smoothly beyond Duncan's expectations, he didn't expect that his brain-opening "attempt" could really work, until he watched the cult priest fall, he turned his head to look at the totem behind him who had regained his calm, and muttered in a strange tone: "As long as the words are right, whoever can give it?" ”
Of course, the fireball on the totem pole would not answer his question, but the cultists around the altar had obviously reacted at this time, and a huge panic was inevitable, but in addition to the panic, more fanatical believers erupted in anger, and this anger even exceeded the fear brought to them by the previous totem when the vision appeared!
Several cultists closest to the altar reacted first, shouting the name of the sun god and rushing towards Duncan, and these most daring believers soon led more people, a large group of black-robed people rushed up as if they had lost their minds, and some even took out their short swords and daggers from under the black robes.
Duncan was about to shout "I will give all the hearts of all the people on the altar to the sun god" to try the amount of food for this strange evil god, but when he saw that some of the cultists who rushed up had actually taken out a revolver from his arms, he immediately dispelled this idea, considering the time when the sacrifice ceremony took effect and the law of "accurate and fast within seven steps", he simply gave the cultists a middle finger and cut off the projection of their souls.
Let these madmen go crazy, he's going back to his homeland.
At the same time, on the vast sea, a rhythmic sound of footsteps sounded on the deck of the Lost Land.
Alice, the doll in a gorgeous gothic dress, leaves her room and arrives at the door of the captain's room.
The ornate wooden box did not follow Miss Doll this time, but was left in the room by her.
The captain had said that she could move around the cabins below deck, or she could walk around the deck, and if she didn't understand something, she could come directly to the captain's room to find him.
Alice remembers it well.
(It's time to push the book!) The first push of this book, "The Salted Fish Prince of the Ming Dynasty" from the Taoist under the mountain, directly posted the introduction:
Zhu Yijing, the grandson of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty and the biological son of Empress Kangning, looked at his proud eldest brother, his second brother who knew how to make trade-offs, and his biological mother who was expressionless and couldn't see through...... Well, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with you?
So, the young man put on the hat of the shame of the traverser with peace of mind and began to eat salted fish waiting for death.
Until a bowl of chicken soup arrives.
"Ahaha! Chicken soup is coming! ”)
