Sacrifice under the ancient tree.

Everyone was curious, looking at the three girls in charge of the sacrifice, and respectfully placed the little lizard dragon on an altar.

"Roar~"

The little dragon moved its front paws listlessly, then shifted its butt again, and barely sat down in the center of the altar.

The altar is a circular pillar about one meter high, and a similar pillar with a narrow bottom and wide upper side attached to it.

It's also a stone thing.

But the height is 1.5 meters.

And the girls in charge of the sacrifice actually took out a white miserable knife from their waists in front of everyone.

"Let's get started!"

The lead girl said to the other two companions.

Seeing that both of them nodded, they took the lead in rolling up the sleeves on their wrists...... The color of their clothes is warm, the whole is dotted with faint red and yellow stripes, and the cuffs of the clothes are relatively wide, which looks more gorgeous and grand.

Poof!

The knife cut on the white and tender forearm, and a long wound was cut in an instant.

And the blood that flowed out of it dripped down the tip of the knife.

The sacrificial girl was not panicked either.

Instead, he moved his arm forward and landed on the stone pillar, letting the blood drip down the wound little by little.

There is a small groove in it where the blood collects.

The other two girls repeated the operation, but the many survivors who watched it frowned.

"What does that mean?"

Shu Mu's heart was slightly uncomfortable, and so did the others.

It doesn't matter if you let yourself and others kill a few zombies.

Even vicious people who mutilate lives.

They can also kill them without changing their faces.

can see that the well-behaved girl in front of her actually used a knife to cut her arm, obviously when she was carrying out some kind of not very good sacrifice ceremony, she was suddenly not in a very good mood.

"Brothers, this is ......"

Yang Huai also understood that this behavior did look a little evil, so he arched his hand and wanted to explain apologetically.

"It's... Just ordinary sacrifices!"

This time.

A group of people suddenly walked out from the side, and the old man in the lead explained, "It takes a long time for dragon eggs to hatch, and the environmental conditions required are also very harsh. ”

"To speed up the hatching of dragon eggs."

"It can only be watered with blood, so that the dragon egg can absorb the energy in the blood."

"to accelerate growth...... However, most of the time, it is watered with the blood of mutated creatures, and their blood is rich in a lot of energy, which is the main sacrificial material. ”

"And the usual sacrifice is only a process, only once a month, and the people who sacrifice will also change, so there will be no burden on these children."

"And every child who participates in the sacrifice will be compensated, and the selection of the sacrifice is also voluntary, so please rest assured......"

The old man who spoke was the tribal chief.

It is older, with white hair on its head, but with its hands behind its back and its waist straight, it looks quite strong overall.

"I am very grateful for the arrival of all the little heroes."

The patriarch first expressed his gratitude, and then said to Yang Huai, "Xiao Yang, inform me and let the villagers prepare good wine and food, all the little heroes have worked very hard all the way, and they should have a good rest." ”

"Yes, Patriarch."

Yang Huai took the order.

With the young guard who followed him, he strode away.

And the group of children who had been following Shu Mu and others.

When seeing the patriarch them.

They all screamed, frolicked, and ran away......

The old patriarch was also appointed as the patriarch during this year, and the previous old patriarch died in the beast tide.

Strictly speaking.

The old patriarch was appointed in the same year as Yang Huai.

It's just that he was originally one of the more respected ones in the village, so after the death of the previous old patriarch, he naturally inherited the position of patriarch.

And he took responsibility.

During the year, the village was well organized.

And Yang Huai, the awakened people of the younger generation, were also discovered and cultivated by him and a few elders.

Originally, the village had begun to prosper, and every time the beast tide attacked, there were also powerful awakened people who could come forward to solve it.

In the last big war.

They got the flesh and blood of many mutated creatures, especially a beastmaster, plus the flesh of a giant dragon, and even more so that they had several general-level awakened people!

It can be said that it is thriving, and the day of prosperity is just around the corner.

But the inexplicable zombie crisis has swept their village again.

Now all the inhabitants are at risk.

I'm afraid that I will be the next person to become a zombie.

But the village could not stop developing, especially farming and hunting.

So during the day, the men still have to go out to work, while the women dry herbs and some jerky.

Just compared to usual.

During the day, they will increase the number of patrols in the village.

At night, it will be expressly prohibited, no visits, can only stay in their own homes, and are not allowed to go out at will......

"So, our mission is to investigate why zombies suddenly appear in the village?" After listening to the patriarch's explanation, the survivors immediately understood the mission of this trip.

"That's... Where do we start? "It's the survivor who was able to turn into a little giant before.

Everyone shook their heads, and there were no clues for the time being.

As for the patriarch.

After telling them about the task, he actually left with the elders, without saying any more clues in other aspects.

And the three who were in charge of sacrificing the girl skillfully took out the bandages.

Wrap around your arm a few times.

In fact, they didn't cut too deep wounds, but on the pillar, a fist-sized mass of blood flowed.

Oddly enough.

Although this mass of blood flowed from three people, it should have fused together, but in the pit it it was dispersed into three masses, next to each other, but the two were very distinct.

"Puff~"

The man-eating flower demon stretched out tiny vines, and seemed to be very fond of the three balls of blood.

But seeing Shu Mu frowned.

It shrank back honestly and lay quietly on its shoulder.

"Roaring ......"

At this time, after the little lizard dragon saw the three girls in charge of the sacrifice leaving, he still wanted to quietly return to Shu Mu's arms.

But when it staggered to its feet.

I felt a little dizzy, and sat down again, lying on the altar, and fell asleep after a while.

"Boss, do you think this thing is a little weird?"

Li Kun walked around the altar and studied it, but the altar was tightly seamed, as if it was a natural stone carving.

There's no weird mechanism at all.

"Yes, indeed."

Shu Mu did not deny it.

He just stepped forward and hugged the sleeping little lizard dragon in his arms.
