After the archers had retreated, the old man's son also went behind the tent.

The old man looked at us quietly for a few moments, but he didn't speak, but he was very angry when he looked at his expression, and he forced him to suppress it.

"I shouldn't have come, but I insisted on coming, hey..."

The old man shook his head and walked out of the tent, and then a few people came in and led us to the settlement, and as we left, they instructed us: "Don't step out of this door all night to-day, listen to you or not." After saying that, he turned around to leave, paused again, and said: "I don't know the purpose of your coming here, if it is really like what the patriarch said, then I kindly give you a word of advice, and I will pack up my things and go back as soon as it dawns tomorrow, this place is not where you should come, I have seen people who came before, and they have no good end, and they will be punished if they are greedy." ”

Uncle Quan nodded silently.

The sky was already yellowing, the sun was setting in the west, and soon black was covering the whole land.

Liu Yu stretched, opened his eyes and looked at us, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and soon snored.

Xiao Jiu and Uncle Quan also squinted and fell asleep, probably because they were tired after a day's journey, only Xiao Qi was still staring intently at the window, and I was also sleepy, and I lost consciousness after squinting for a while.

I don't know how long it took, there was a noisy sound outside, and my consciousness was forced to slowly wake up, and I turned my head to look, Liu Yu, Xiao Jiu, and Uncle Quan were all asleep with their eyes closed, and my eyes were slowly closing again.

Suddenly, a spirit rushed up, and I sat up, what about Xiao Qi?

I glanced around, on the bed, on the seat, in front of the window... None of them.

At this time, the door was open, and a noisy sound came in from outside, mixed with some red beating bright light, and I instantly lost my sleepiness, and at this time, Uncle Quan's arm also moved, and gradually woke up.

"Uncle Quan, Xiao Qi is gone."

After hearing what I said, Quan Juncai's whole body was stunned, looked around, stood up, and kicked Liu Yu and Xiao Jiu awake.

"What's that group of people out there?" I don't know who raised a question.

Suddenly, the voice fell silent, and the patriarch walked in, dressed strangely, with a very tall hat on his head, and a few feathers, and behind him was a young man, with a scepter in his hand, and I met his eyes, and recognized him at a glance, he was the son of the patriarch, but to my surprise, it was very different from what we had seen him before, the beard was gone, and his skin was much whiter, and he became a young man in his early twenties.

"Come with me, people of foreign tribes." The patriarch said solemnly, we followed behind the patriarch, towards the door, it happened that I saw a dagger less than ten centimeters hanging in front of the door, I glanced at the patriarch's son, he did not notice me at this time, so I casually inserted the dagger into my waist.

Piles of bonfires were lit in many places outside, glowing a faint red light in the darkness, but there were piles of white things burning, and three or five people danced around each of them, singing strange songs in their mouths.

"Patriarch, one of us is missing."

"Gentlemen, you will meet the great gods of our people today, and be ready to be baptized by the gods."

The patriarch didn't seem to pay attention to what Uncle Quan said, and I sensed something strange in it, because I heard a familiar voice again.

"Boom... Boom...", the sound was drowned out by the cacophony of singing and the sound of a campfire burning.

I gave Uncle Quan a look, indicating that something was not normal here, and after Uncle Quan understood, he nodded, looking for an opportunity to start.

The people in front gradually gathered, and the opportunity to start was about to be gone, but at this moment, there was a flaming bonfire in front of him, which was as high as a two-story building, and the burning material of the fire source was also the size of a yurt, and groups of clansmen danced around him, wearing fancy dresses, and singing very loudly, this kind of scene was like a very important festival bonfire party for ethnic minorities, I saw this kind of scene for the first time, and I was shocked.

The fire was lit up all around, a little dazzling, I didn't dare to look straight ahead, we were taken to the bonfire, the people around gradually dispersed, joined the clansmen's dance, the patriarch took the scepter, stood on his chest, and prayed solemnly to the bonfire, this is a great opportunity, if you miss it, you may not have a chance, I turned my head to look at Uncle Quan, at this time he was also looking at me, Liu Yu and Xiao Jiu understood, the four of us faced in four directions, back to each other, ready to escape from this place, I took out the dagger that had been prepared, We're not going to make a big fight, they're outnumbered, and the only way for us to survive is to flee.

We are all ready, all we owe is the east wind, waiting for Uncle Quan's order.

Uncle Quan grabbed me and pointed in the direction of the bonfire with an expressionless face.

I looked in the direction he was pointing, and the campfire was so glaring that I had to squint, there was nothing but the towering flames and the swarthy thing behind it.

The swarthy thing in the back?

I squinted again and looked at it carefully, confirming that I was not mistaken, that there was indeed a swarthy thing, which mingled with the flames of the flames, and behind the bonfire its proud body stood out, and I could not help but be silent, because it was much higher than the bonfire, and it must have been made of metal, and if I guessed correctly, it should have been a sacrificial altar, and it was just a magnificent altar.

At the moment when I turned my head, I suddenly saw a strange thing above, the sacrificial platform took on a cone-shaped shape, and at the top of this sacrificial platform, there was a black thing hanging, if you look closely, it is the appearance of a person, and then look closely, that person is Xiao Qi!

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it turned out that the missing Xiao Qi was hung there by this group of people.

At this time, Uncle Quan and I were stunned in place, directly below Xiao Qi was the dark and flickering bonfire, there were a few flames rubbing to Xiao Qi's side from time to time, I was shocked to see it, we were too far away from him below, I couldn't see his expression clearly, he didn't have any movement, we couldn't judge his condition, I secretly pinned the dagger back to my waist.

It turns out that they have been prepared for a long time!

"Ancient gods, today, is the birthday of our Yin clan, but! Because of the aggression of these foreigners, the mountain god was furious, and today, we will sacrifice him to you! Forgive us for the sins we have committed. The patriarch stared at us with angry eyes, snorted coldly, and walked forward.

At this time, the sound became louder again, and the rumbling sound was surging under our feet, and now I heard it very clearly, as if there was a monster in the ground that was angry, maybe the whole ground would collapse after a while, could it be that there was really a mountain god here, or a giant monster?
