All the Frost Giants bowed their heads humbly in greeting the Giant King.

A deep and powerful voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Everyone, you have worked hard in the past year. ”

"The king remembers your efforts, and your giving will not go unrewarded. In the coming year, the Heavenly Dao will surely bless us with a bumper harvest of more prey. ”

The Giant King's speech was very simple, and after he finished speaking, he raised his hand and injected a spiritual power into the altar.

It was as if some switch had been touched on the altar, and a strong aura storm blew in the clear sky, making Sheng Xi's mind feel extremely uneasy at this moment.

Countless points of spiritual energy lit up from the altar, rose into the air, and vanished.

These auraes grew stronger and stronger, and as they continued to disappear into the sky, the offerings on the altar faded away.

Sheng Xi was stunned, the first time he knew that when he sacrificed to the sky, the sacrifice would really be taken away by the heavens.

But what does Heavenly Dao want so many sacrifices for?

There are so many demon beasts outside, and the way of heaven is so that if you want sacrifices, you can kill a few casually, as many as you want.

Sheng Xi couldn't figure out what Bai Dao was thinking, and felt that there was a mysterious force watching them here, so she didn't dare to make any moves, so she could only kneel respectfully on the ground with the others, waiting for the sacrifice to end.

It wasn't until all the tributes on the altar had turned into aura and disappeared that the terrifying power that pressed on everyone disappeared.

The sky returned to its previous clearness, and the Giant King announced the end of the sacrifice, and everyone went home for the New Year.

All the high-ranking monks left, and only a few ordinary monks with lower cultivation remained in the square.

Sheng Xi stood on tiptoe and looked at the altar, finding that there was nothing left on it, and sighed in disappointment.

Next to her stood a family of three.

The child was still young, only two meters tall, and asked his parents with great anticipation: "Daddy, can we eat something delicious during the Chinese New Year today?" ”

Her father and mother were both burly frost giants.

Hearing the child's words, the woman did not make a sound, but looked at the altar and sighed.

The child's father made a straight face, lowered his voice, and said angrily: "What to eat, how can there be any surplus food at home?" ”

The child was inexplicably murdered, didn't know what he had done wrong, and stood in place timidly and confused.

Sheng Xi could clearly feel this father's resentment.

He and his wife are already in the middle stage of Jindan's cultivation, these two people's hunting ability is not weak, they should be able to catch enough prey for a family of three to feed and wear, how can they still say such things?

Sheng Xi asked tentatively: "This big brother, don't you have enough food at home?" ”

The rugged-looking eldest brother snorted lightly: "Who has enough food to eat this year?" ”

"With such a high level of cultivation as you and your sister-in-law, is it difficult to hunt? Are the monsters near Frost City all in the primordial infancy? Sheng Xi felt that he might have to settle down in a different place.

The sister-in-law shook her head: "There are not many demon beasts near Frost City, and we all have to go deep into the polar regions to hunt." The problem is not this, but ......"

She glanced at the altar and stopped.

The more the eldest brother thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't have as many scruples as the sister-in-law, gritted his teeth and said: "With the cultivation of the two of us to hunt, let alone food and clothing, we can be a lot richer." ”

"But isn't this a sacrifice? Every year, every family has to make so many sacrifices, and the prey is taken away, how can there be any surplus food in the family? ”

Sheng Xi remembered the sacrifices piled higher than people on the altar, and recalled that many of the clansmen who participated in the sacrifice in the square smiled reluctantly, and gradually guessed that the situation of the eldest brother's family was not an exception.

She said, there are so many polar demon beasts, and the frost giants are so strong, why does the whole tribe have to worry about food?

It turned out that all year of hard work was working for others.

"It turns out that I have been living so hard because someone has exploited my surplus value."

Sheng Xi sketched a sickle and a hammer in his mind, trying to chisel through the head of one of the culprits.

Monk Jindan still has a bit of a status in the clan, Sheng Xi whispered: "Why don't you go and discuss with the leaders and let them sacrifice less?" ...... like this"

Before she finished her words, she was covered by the sister-in-law next to her: "Are you crazy? If we don't sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao, how will we live in the future? ”

Sheng Xi didn't understand what she was nervous about: "The prey is all obtained by our own hands, why should we sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao to live?" ”

"Without the blessing of heaven, we wouldn't be able to live at all."

"Aren't we living because we are industrious enough, we go hunting before dawn, and we have to work hard to cultivate when it's dark? What does it have to do with the Heavenly Dao? ”

Sheng Xi stopped asking his sister-in-law.

The other party was stunned for a long time and couldn't refute again, so he could only stubbornly say: "Anyway, no, this is passed down from generation to generation, and it can't be changed." ”

Sheng Xi couldn't make sense, so he could only change his way: "Then you don't sacrifice and keep your own head." ”

"That's not going to work either! There is a definite number of these! If there are fewer sacrifices, and the Heavenly Dao is angry, we don't even have this basic food. ”

Sheng Xi: "......"

Sacrifice to the heavens, and starve to death. If you don't sacrifice, you will starve to death.

What is "death now, death if you plan to do something"?

The Xiuzhen version of "Chen Shi's Family" is over.

"Our Majesty is already in the merger period, let people work hard, and get promoted to the Mahayana stage as soon as possible to kill the Heavenly Dao-"

Before Sheng Xi finished speaking, the eldest brother was furious: "Don't talk nonsense, you want to die, don't drag us down!" ”

Sheng Xi: "??? ”

"No, big brother, it's the way of heaven that makes your whole family have no food, and it's not me, why are you murdering me?"

The conversation between the two sides attracted the attention of many people, and the couple's expressions became frightened when they noticed the gaze of others.

Seeing the people from the city defense camp coming, the eldest brother was heartbroken, pointed at Sheng Xi and shouted: "This person is disrespectful to the way of heaven, quickly arrest her!" ”

At the same time, the sister-in-law let go of Sheng Xi's hand and motioned her to run.

This couple is really interesting.

Sheng Xi's cultivation present was the lowest, and even the sons of this couple had five levels of qi refining, and they were all more powerful than her.

With the level of reverence these people have for the Heavenly Dao, if Sheng Xi is caught, I am afraid that he will really be executed.

Before the city defense battalion arrived, Sheng Xi turned around and ran, got into the crowd, turned left and right, and escaped from Frost City in one go.

After making such a fuss, Frost City will definitely not be able to stay.

Sheng Xi thought for a moment and decided to build a small nest outside Frost City, which could be regarded as his own camp.

Because the Frost Giants often go out hunting, the monsters will not take the initiative to gather near the city or tribe, and the periphery of these places is relatively safe.

Even if he really encountered danger, Sheng Xi couldn't deal with it by himself, and ran headlong into Frost City, and the guards over there would not sit idly by.

Using local materials, Sheng Xi built a small house out of ice.

She took out the array disk she had drawn when she was a formation mage before, and activated it directly with spirit stones, which was counted as a protective measure for her hut.

Seeing that she arranged all this in an orderly manner, she nodded with satisfaction when she secretly observed the figure.

Yes, yes, this girl knows it's time to work hard.

As soon as this thought was finished, Sheng Xi lay comfortably on the newly made bed.

Figure: "??? ”

"Why are you lying down again?"

Sheng Xi vaguely heard someone talking to her, but she looked around and didn't see anyone, suspecting that it was her own delusion.

She touched the Sumeru ring on her hand, and said with a smile on her face: "With my cultivation, going out to hunt is equivalent to death." There are still a lot of supplies, and it is a day to survive. ”

Figure: "Don't you think about the future?" ”

Sheng Xi seemed to be answering the question of the figure, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

"It's useless to think too much, maybe I'll die tomorrow? Who are you saving so much material for? ”

She covered the quilt and closed her eyes happily, "Life is a day, sleep." ”

Figure: "......"

That's what the Savior did???

The world is hopeless, so let's destroy it.
