Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Holy Maiden
"Welcome to the Ten Priests!"
A deep voice echoed through the cavern.
Wu Wei's heart moved, and his face showed surprise.
immediately contacted Qing'er with his heart.
After a short exchange, it was confirmed that this voice was not a voice in the real world, but a voice in the world of divine spirits!
He also heard this voice through Qing'er.
Could it be that the underground human race communicates through mental contact on such occasions?
Thinking about it again, he found the blood-red crow on the shoulder of Li Qi's soul.
I had a guess in my mind.
The evil gods worshiped by the underground human race may be related to the gods!
Soon, a blood-colored red cloud slowly flew out of the passage at that end.
Standing side by side above were ten tall, short, fat and thin people.
Wu Wei glanced at it, and suddenly looked suspicious.
Focus on a medium-sized priest in the far right row.
Touching my chin, I always felt that this person's physique and standing posture had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
In addition, this person wears a mask that looks like a ghostly peach talisman.
suddenly remembered that at the top of the Tower of Babel, what Zou Ji grabbed seemed to be a puppet mask?
"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
Wu Wei said secretly in his heart.
But after thinking about it, several of them were teleported to the vicinity of Stone City, which looked a bit like Zou Ji's sacrifice, and maybe it might really be Zou Ji.
If this is the case, I think Zou Ji should have another adventure.
The blood-colored red cloud flew to the center of the blood lake, and the ten priests stood still.
The deep voice sounded again: "Slaughter all the animals and sacrifice to the gods of the heavenly heart!" ”
The heart of heaven is the name of this evil god.
As soon as the words fell, the ten sacrifices on the blood cloud took out a storage bag one after another, and cast spells at the same time, and suddenly the spiritual light in the void flashed, and thousands of demon beast corpses appeared out of thin air and fell into the blood lake like rain.
The blood lake was already extremely thick, and the corpse of a fresh demon beast fell into the lake, not only did it not make any sound, not even a ripple came out, and it sank directly to the bottom of the lake in a dull manner.
This continued for about a quarter of an hour before stopping.
After the first ceremony was completed, a deep voice said, "Dragon boat!" ”
At this time, about a thousand people who were sitting alone at the end of the cave touched more than a thousand people, and hit the huge demon corpse skeleton.
"Cultivator."
Wu Wei said secretly in his heart.
Suddenly, spiritual light flashed everywhere on the surface of the demon corpse's skeleton, and the sound of mosquito-like buzzing gradually sounded until it was deafening.
The surface of the demon corpse skeleton was full of spiritual light, and countless large and small complex magic array patterns emerged, and the spiritual light flowed, making the demon corpse skeleton that looked extremely heavy tremble slightly.
"I see!"
Wu Wei suddenly realized his heart.
It turned out that one of the biggest functions of these cultivators underground was to engrave the driving circle on the skeleton of this demon corpse.
Of course, in his judgment, relying on the spiritual power of these cultivators alone should not be enough to support this huge skeleton.
It should only play the role of activating the magic circle, and there is a huge space at the bottom of this demon corpse skeleton, which is really used to store a large number of top-grade spirit stones to maintain the continuous operation of the magic circle.
Then, the sacrifice on the blood cloud also flicked ten fingers in unison, and gray silk threads flew into the blood lake.
The surface of the blood lake, which had been calm for a long time, finally gave birth to a trace of waves, first a few blood bubbles with a gurgling bang, and soon set off blood-colored waves like boiling.
Countless shadowy demon beast spirits surged from the depths of the blood lake to the surface, their waists bound and pulled by gray silk threads, and let out a mournful and miserable scream, and they were held to the bottom of the bones in extreme pain.
After a while, a dark cloud formed at the bottom of the corpse bones formed by the gathering of demon beast divine souls, there were already too many demon beast divine souls to count, Wu Wei roughly estimated it, or even as many as a million!
It is equivalent to hunting 10,000 demon beasts every year, and it took a hundred years to form this blood lake.
With the combined operation of the magic circle driven by a large number of top-grade spirit stones and the combined operation of millions of demon beast spirits, the corpse was finally lifted in one fell swoop, and slowly rose to a position several feet high from the surface of the blood lake.
Then sometimes forward, sometimes turning backwards, slowly floating and moving, showing the underground human race in the cave the crystallization of the blood and sweat of several generations of human race after a hundred years.
Every time the Blood Sacrifice Moon Ritual is held, it means that they are one step closer to the dream of returning to the Central Plains.
The human race in the cave finally stopped being patient, and erupted into an excited shout, which echoed in the cave for a long time.
Wu Wei couldn't help but be moved.
But unlike the underground human race who was so excited that he was almost crazy, he sighed in surprise, but also retained a trace of sobriety.
It was already quite a difficult step to make the bones of the demon beast what they are today.
And to successfully deliver the 100,000 underground human races to the Central Plains, with the current performance of the corpse bone dragon boat, it is far from enough.
According to his estimates, in a few more generations of tireless efforts to perfect this dragon boat, there may be a glimmer of opportunity.
It's hard, it's too hard.
Wu Wei sighed in his heart.
"Brothers and sisters."
Just as everyone was cheering for the corpse dragon boat, a slightly vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked at the top of their heads in unison, and Wu Wei also looked up.
In the void, two phantoms slowly emerged.
One is a middle-aged man with a majestic bearing and a gray beard, and the other is a beautiful woman with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes and a graceful posture.
Looks like a couple.
But to be able to appear here at this moment, the identity must be extraordinary.
Looking at the deferential appearance of the ten priests on the blood cloud to the couple, Wu Wei guessed that there was a good chance that these two people were the leaders of the underground human race.
"Today, I would like to take the opportunity of the Blood Sacrifice Moon Ritual to announce a good news to everyone."
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed and swept over the beings below, and when he saw that everyone was waiting with bated breath, his face was satisfied, and he said kindly: "Our Heavenly Heart Divine Sect has finally ushered in the first holy woman.
With the help of the Holy Maiden, our dream of returning to the Central Plains can take a big step.
The day of return to the Central Plains will not be too far away! ”
The 100,000 people below all let out a low cry of disbelief.
"Holy Maiden, come out and say hello to everyone." The middle-aged beautiful woman said gently.
At her command, another small cloud of blood floated out of the passage, and on it stood a skinny figure.
There was a bit of dazedness, a little numbness, and a bit of gloom on his face.
"Zhang Xiaomei!"
Wu Wei saw her face clearly, and there was no surprise.
His fists tightened, and an evil fire inexplicably gave birth to in his heart.
He had nothing to say about the efforts of the underground human race to return to the Central Plains.
However, judging from Zhang Youyi's expression, she was obviously not interested in the name of this saint.
Actually, it's also very understandable.
She is a member of the Yu clan, and although she is called the whale hunter, this title has long since changed after a long period of time.
The Yu whalehunters may have made a living from whaling in ancient times, but this was not the case later.
Instead of hunting whales again, he coexisted with the True Spirit Kun Whale and formed a deep bond.
Now that the underground human race has brought Zhang Youyi underground, it is nothing more than to use her bloodline magic power to see if she can turn this Kun whale corpse into magic.
It's just that the legend says that the true spirit Kun Whale has pursued great freedom all his life, even if the soul is really indelible, I am afraid it will be difficult to accommodate Zhang Youyi and be willing to be a dragon boat carrying 100,000 people.
She is caught between the Terrans and the Kun Whales, and she is also in a dilemma.
