It was completely bright, and the sun had probably risen into the sky, illuminating the whole land with a dazzling light, but it could not penetrate the canopy of tall trees, and beneath the canopy, it was still as dark as night.

The hunter's bloody footprints extend deeper into the forest, and the rain last night made the soil extra wet, so the footprints are particularly clear, not to mention the blood that penetrates the surface, in the dark realm, the blood left by the hunter is tantamount to a torch lit in the dark forest, attracting predators with a keen sense of smell to follow, and the tracking team also follows the hunter's trajectory, constantly shortening the distance between the two, as the tracking progresses, the blood dripping on the ground gradually begins to decrease, until it disappears completely, It seems that the hunter did some kind of thing to stop the bleeding in order not to attract the demon beast.

After a while, the ground beneath the tracking team's feet began to dry out, apparently out of the area where it had rained last night, and this was also unusual in the Netherland, where any meteorological changes would not cover the entire Netherland, but would only be concentrated in one area.

On the ground that was not wet by the rain, the hunter's footprints gradually faded, and after a while, the footprints disappeared completely, but this situation was difficult for Liu Hong, who was born in a family of hunters, he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then squatted on the ground, twisted the soil on the ground with his fingers, carefully felt the tightness of the soil, and judged whether the land had been trampled on.

Then he put his finger in front of his nose and sniffed it, although the blood shed by the hunter was gone, but the smell of blood from his body was still there, as long as he traced the source of the smell, he could judge the direction of the hunter's escape, to his strange feeling, the smell suddenly disappeared not far away, as if the owner of the smell disappeared out of thin air.

"Come with me, go here, if you don't hurry up, you may lose it." He hurriedly beckoned everyone to follow, and under the leadership of Liu Hong, the seven of them burrowed into the depths of the dense forest.

Suddenly, in the process of passing through the dense forest, Liu Hong smelled a trace of indescribable taste, perhaps it is not accurate to describe it by taste, but it should be used by feeling, an indescribable feeling blocked his tracking of the smell of blood, and in a trance, as if through a transparent film, they broke into a forest from the dense forest.

This forest looks exactly like the surrounding forest, but there is a feeling of being out of place, Liu Hong can't accurately describe this feeling, but Orion's instinct reminds him that something is not quite right in this area, the whole forest is terrifyingly quiet, even the sound of the wind, birdsong, and insects are eliminated, he is shocked to realize that this forest is lifeless, as if some invisible force has killed all life here, although it is daytime, Liu Hong feels a chill.

A cloud of scarlet light lit up in the dark forest without warning, attracting the attention of everyone in the team, and under the leadership of Ji Wuchang, the seven people quietly approached the place where the light came from, and after crossing a gentle slope, a altar made of earth and stone appeared in front of everyone.

Then there were dozens of figures who were silent like marble sculptures, they surrounded the altar, their whole bodies were shrouded in purple robes, they could not see their gender, the robes were not known what kind of cloth they were, but they gave people a heavy feeling, the piping of the robes was embroidered with a silver moon, only one of them was different, the moon on the piping of his robe was a gorgeous dark gold, the top of the hood was dotted with gems, and he carried a strange lantern in his hand, and the flame in the middle of the lantern seemed to be about to be extinguished, The scarlet glow emanated from it.

The hunter who had been following the team for a long time was kneeling in front of him, his head bowed, as if he was saying something, but the seven of them were a little far away, and they couldn't really hear it, only staccato conversations.

"I'm sorry, Lord Taichang, I'm late." The hunter said respectfully.

"Your Excellency has waited too long, you are trying to challenge His patience, He can't wait to come into this world, and your actions have slowed down His coming, which is tantamount to a capital offense." Too often, the voice is hoarse, like a poisonous snake hissing in the dark.

"Please forgive your sins! Lord Taichang, I would never dare to have the intention of challenging the Lord, because those mortals, their armies discovered my tracks and captured me, and it took me a lot of effort to escape. The hunter put his hand on his chest and sincerely apologized to Tai Chang.

Taichang's eyes rippled with a strange purple, staring closely at the hunter in front of him, he was silent for a while, and then spoke: "You should feel lucky, the Lord has instructed me to keep your humble life for the time being, because if you want to come to this world, the Lord still needs the strength of each of us, but you must remember that your life will always belong to the Lord of the World, if you make such a bad mistake again, the Lord will definitely be willing to let you return to His arms in advance." ”

The hunter's kneeling body shivered suddenly, and the palpitating feeling was like a pair of invisible hands grabbing him tightly, he didn't even have the courage to meet Taichang's purple eyes, he had heard similar rumors a long time ago, and in those purple eyes there was a trace of the Lord's divine sense, and those with weak willpower, even if they only peeped at the Lord for a moment, would fall into irreparable madness.

The hunter bowed his head and bowed, "Thank you for your mercy, I will give everything I have to the Lord, please rest assured, I will never make such a stupid mistake again!" ”

"Go, lost lamb, the Lord accepts your allegiance, your promises will be fulfilled, your betrayal will be judged, and your soul will be redeemed, because the eyes of the Lord are watching us from the firmament at all times." The purple in Taichang's eyes gradually faded, and the palpitating feeling gradually disappeared.

The hunter remained in a half-kneeling position, arms folded together and raised above his head, "Let's be one." ”

Too often the same action is made, "for one." ”

The four believers carried a white and flawless domestic pig and put it on the altar, and the limbs of the domestic pig were tightly bound by thick ropes, and they could only struggle in vain, and from time to time their mouths made a feeble snort, and they stepped forward too often, and he stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the top of the pig's head, and an invisible force was released, and the pig suddenly stopped struggling, and stood still as if it had died.

Taiyong raised the sharp blade made of jade polished with his right hand, and slowly cut into the throat of the domestic pig, warm blood spurted out, making Taichang's pale face look particularly strange, blood slowly flowed from the pig's wound, and continued to flow along the hollows carved on the altar, and the blood-red brush used the lifeless masonry as a canvas to draw a very strange pattern on it—a moon with eyes and lips.

Then Tai Chang put down the jade blade in his hand, and instead picked up a skinning knife made of gold, and began to skin the white and flawless domestic pig, the sharp blade easily cut the pig's chest, and Tai Chang stripped out the internal organs in it, and discarded it at will.

However, in an instant, a whole white and flawless pigskin was peeled off, leaving only the bloody pig body, Yan Zheng of course also killed pigs in the kitchen, but their methods were more rude, and they never gave people that weird beauty too often, and when they killed pigs, they had the idea of wanting to cook pigs into food, it can be said that pigs are delicious ribs and pig's head meat in their eyes, but after watching Taichang slaughter this pig with their own eyes, the original fragrant pork looks so disgusting to Yan Zheng, It occurred to him that if there was a person on the altar, that person would be skinned too often like a pig.

Tai often put down the gold-forged skinning knife, folded his arms above his head, and chanted the prayer in a hoarse voice, "Great Lord, we praise your prestige, and in order to welcome your coming, we have abandoned our worldly identity and hid in the boundless darkness, walking with snakes and rats and scorpions, devouring other living beings for food, and making this lowly body stained with filth, but from now on, we who are so filthy and unbearable will live to spread the glory of the Lord and the blessings of the Lord, just because we know, As long as your existence lasts forever, then we will be redeemed, and at the moment when the gate of the Yellow Spring is opened, when the world is broken like a mirror, you will accept us without reservation, become one with us, and take us to the other side! ”

The chief priest took a step forward and respectfully bowed to the lord, "Lord, the ceremony has been prepared, please."

The Lord leisurely exhaled a puff of white smoke, the smoke changing in the air, and the unjust spirits wailed in it, and the Lord waved his hand casually to disperse the smoke.

The High Priest stretched out his hand, and the throne made of flesh and blood was lowered, and the platform made of obsidian was lifted,

The Lord's gorgeous costume dissipated like smoke, he lay on the platform made of obsidian, on the same platform on the other side, lay a young body, the appearance is nine points similar to the Lord, only younger and more perfect, the priests surrounded the platform, raising their hands towards the sky, five thick black qi stretched out from behind them, like the tentacles of the evil god stretched out, and pierced straight into the bodies of the five shadow archers behind them, the black qi twitched as if eating, shattering the soul into pure energy and transmitting it

The Lord's Divine Soul rose up and began to shift towards the young body, the Lord's power was too strong, and it would take sacrifice to carry his Divine Soul
