Volume 1 Demon Country Lan Guo Chapter 24: Sacrifice
On the field, several large streams converged into a pool of water from all directions, and there were countless demon beasts lining up around the pond to walk towards the pool!
Such a strange scene makes people can't help but look at the pond water.
The entire body of the pond is made of bluestone, and four bluestone-paved roads emerge from the water, extending to the center to form a magnificent quaint altar.
In the middle of the altar is a bottomless well, and countless demon beasts are lining up to jump into the well through the bluestone road! Liu Zisang saw an iron-needled hedgehog jump into the well and never came up again.
The altar is engraved with incomprehensible ancient runes, and every time a demon beast jumps into the well, it will light up slightly, emitting a strange light.
But what's even more strange is that looking at this scene, Liu Zisang somehow has a sense of déjà vu, and wants to grasp it in his heart but has no clue.
"What are these monsters doing?" Liu Zisang looked at the beasts and asked curiously.
"Sacrifice." King Kurono replied.
"Sacrifice?" Liu Zisang frowned.
The King of Oz nodded, looking at the altar with a solemn look in his eyes, and a hint of extremely vague fear.
"This altar is called the Wailing Altar, I don't know what it is for, but every once in a while, it will attract nearby demon beasts to the altar to sacrifice."
"The last time was eighty-six years ago, the last time was thirty-six years ago, and this time it's the last few days. The Thick Soil Ape was unlucky, probably attracted by the neighborhood, and probably right here. ”
"You said that all the demon beasts are here, so why haven't you been affected?" Liu Zisang was a little puzzled.
"Only lowly demons will be affected, like me...... We won't. ”
Glancing at Liu Zisang, King Kurono just wanted to say why are you not affected, and swallowed it back, this kid can even summon demon spirits, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal if he is not affected by the altar.
What Liu Zisang didn't know was that the influence of the altar was indiscriminate, not only for demon beasts, but also for people with low cultivation, but in addition to demon beasts or demon beasts in Wailing Mountain, naturally only demon beasts were seen.
The King of Black Fields was a little envious in his heart, even he couldn't summon the spirit, this kid actually could, God was so unfair. As the exclusive trick of the powerhouse of the fourth realm, the demon spirit is as powerful as the demon art can only be learned when you reach the Hun Spirit Realm, and the power is unpredictable!
When the two fought before, Liu Zisang would have been defeated if he hadn't had a demon spirit, which shows the power of the demon spirit.
If you have to explain why all this is, it seems that it can only be attributed to Liu Zisan's talent and bone surprise. If that's the case, then this kid is too rebellious, at least the King of Black Fields has no talent.
"What will happen to the demon beast after being sacrificed?" Thinking that Duoduo might be among them, Liu Zisang was a little uneasy.
"Dead, of course." The King of Black Fields said lightly, "I will never come back, many of my subordinates died like this." ”
"So, Duoduo will jump into that well like these monsters?"
The King of Black did not answer, apparently acquiescing to this statement.
"No, Duoduo won't die, no." Liu Zisang lowered his head and muttered, looking anxious.
Regardless of whether he was in danger or not, he hurriedly ran to the beasts and shouted: "Duoduo, Duoduo!" ”
No one responded, not even as it should. When I got closer, I noticed that all the demon beasts here seemed to have been drained, their eyes were blank, and they would only stare blankly in the direction of the altar.
Liu Zisang had no choice but to look for Duoduo one by one in the herd.
Attempts were made to drag the monster away from the pool as it walked towards the altar, but to no avail, and even after leaving the party, the monster would return to the group on its own, like a walking corpse.
In desperation, Liu Zisang asked the King of Black Fields loudly while looking for it, "Is there any way to make them stop?" ”
The King of Black Fields was stunned for a moment, if there was a way, would I stand still like this, and also replied loudly: "No, it will not stop until the sacrifice is full!" ”
The two exchanged views over the air, and a bunch of listeners were unmoved.
The process of finding Duoduo was very long, Liu Zisang started from the center of the altar, until he found the foot of the mountain, and after one team finished searching, he went back to the head and started from the other team.
Although there are a large number of demon beasts and the queue is very long, there are not many ape-like demon beasts, and those who look like chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs at a glance are automatically ignored by Liu Zisang.
The sun was scorching over the field, and the sun shone in through the hollow clouds, and the body of the person who was sunning was hot, and Liu Zisang was also sweating.
Looking at Liu Zisang tirelessly looking for it, the King of Black Field was bored on the side.
Due to his identity, it was good that the King of Black Fields could make an exception and bring Liu Zisang to the depths of the Wailing Mountain, and it was almost impossible to help find someone, so he returned to his old idle days.
Tiredness gradually hit his head, and the King of Kurono yawned unconsciously.
Suddenly I felt a little stupid, thinking that I was the overlord of the Wailing Mountain, and I had to shake my feet three times when I stomped my feet, and I was actually playing a game of finding people with a stinky kid? It's still a stinky ape full of commotion.
Shouldn't it be more in line with his image to shoot Liu Zisang into a meat puree with one palm and then eat it? Where is his majesty now?
Alas...... That's it, it's gone, it's gone, King Black Oz simply found a cooler shade and lay down lazily, too lazy to pay attention.
There are very few things that can arouse his interest now, if it weren't for the big event of sacrificial sacrifice and Liu Zisang, I am afraid that he will still sleep on the rocky beach.
Wailing Mountain is cloudy all year round, only here is the occasional sun, it is too wasteful not to take a good nap, this is one of the few habits that the King of Black Fields has retained for a long time.
"Found it, found it!"
In the distance, Liu Zi-san waved excitedly and shouted to the King of Wild. In the end, he saw the thin Duoduo among the two burly golden cashmere bears, and Duoduo at this time was like a puppet, his face was expressionless, and he didn't react when he saw Liu Zisang.
But Liu Zisang is already quite happy, one is to find Duoduo and the other is that he is safe and sound, and it is not easy to add the two.
As for the current appearance, Liu Zisang thought that since he was influenced by the altar, Duoduo would become like this, so it would be better to stay away from the altar. I have to say that Liu Zisang's idea is very simple, but it is the correct solution.
Liu Zisang took Duoduo to the King of Black Field, thanked him, and told him that he had learned to summon spirits by a mysterious person.
When the King of Black Fields heard this, he was amazed, and he even said that there are such strange people and strange things in the world, and they can actually teach people and demons.
Of course, the King of Black Fields didn't know Gu Hong, the Great Wilderness was too big, and the Lan Kingdom alone had a territory of thousands of miles, and the Lan Kingdom was only a small one among the hundreds of demon countries in the Southern Wilderness.
I don't know how many strange people there are, and there are also many mysterious powerhouses like Gu Hong. For example, if someone likes to travel in the wilderness, they rarely stop in a certain place, and if they are more withdrawn, it is normal for others to look a little "elusive".
After informing the demon spirit, Liu Zisang offered to take Duoduo away from Wailing Mountain, and the King of Black Field readily agreed, sending Liu Zisang and Duoduo to the periphery of Wailing Mountain, since he had promised not to hurt them, he would not go back on his word.
Before leaving, Liu Zisang gave the rest of the cooking cakes and dried meat to the King of Black Wild, six or seven pieces, and said that he would bring some outside food next time he had the chance.
The King of Black Fields suddenly looked happy, and said while chewing the cooking cake: "Boy, this is what you said, next time you go into the mountain to report my name, I will cover it!" ”
"It's a deal!" Liu Zisang said with a smile, after a few days of getting along, Liu Zisang has turned enemies into friends with the King of Black Fields, and his good impression of the latter has greatly increased, without the help of the King of Black Fields, it is difficult for Liu Zisang to find Duoduo so smoothly.
So, I thought that the Wailing Mountain and his party were extremely dangerous, and his head was pinned to the waistband of his trousers. In the best case, it will take more than ten days to come out, and as a result, it will come out without danger in a few days.
When Liu Zisang and Duoduo came out, Xiaocui was squinting and napping on the stone tablet, drowsy. Although I was surprised to see the two of them come out so quickly, I didn't think much about it, it's okay, and the rest doesn't care about him.
What Liu Zisang didn't know was that not long after he left, there was a sad wail from the depths of the Wailing Mountain, and he didn't notice that Duoduo behind him seemed to have changed a little when the wailing sounded.
A few days later, on the field of Wailing Mountain.
The four Demon Beast Lords stood on the Wailing Altar, looking at the ancient well in front of them with solemn expressions, and one of them was the King of Black Wild.
"Lao Hei, you actually brought an outsider into the mountains, I'm afraid it's not good to break the rules like this." A calf-like iron-toothed giant rat turned into a skinny man and sneered at the King of Wild.
"Hmph, a few days ago, the altar seal broke out, and I don't know which rat immediately left his disciples and disciples to hide far away, and he didn't even see a shadow." King Kurono turned into a big, chubby rugged man with a big beard on his chin, glanced at the thin man, and sneered.
Choked back mercilessly by the King of Black Field, the thin man suddenly became a little annoyed and angry, and screamed: "You! Dead old black, don't think that you can be unscrupulous just by relying on your own cultivation to rank second among the four of us! This time, your subordinates suffered the most losses, and nearly half of them were sacrificed, so let's see how you fight with us in the future!" ”
"You don't have to bother!" King Kurono said coldly.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Iron Tooth, you don't have to say a word! Lao Hei, you too, don't take outsiders into the mountain as an example, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of sealing, and the rest of the miscellaneous matters will be mentioned again! Among the four, one of the one-eyed strong men who was obviously the leader of the four said angrily.
"Yes!"
Both of them snorted coldly when they heard this, and they responded in unison, and they didn't argue anymore.
"Boss Wolf, it can't go on like this, the seal erupts are becoming more and more frequent. Once the seal of the altar is broken, the contents inside will appear, not only our Lan Kingdom, but also the entire Southern Wilderness. The last long-faced man with a knife-like face frowned.
The one-eyed strong man, the wolf boss, nodded and agreed: "What Brother Dao said is extremely true, he is worthy of being the most outstanding disciple of the Twin Blade Shadow Mantis. ”
"The thing sealed inside is so powerful that even Lord Sanwai can't be legally subdued?" Iron Fang was taken aback and spoke.
