Chapter 408: Sacrifice

The village cadres all knelt on their knees, folded their hands, and looked up at the sky with a reverent attitude.

The village chief knelt at the front and recited an incomprehensible verse, as if to perform a ritual.

A few of us hid in the bushes not far away, staring at the performance of the village cadres, not daring to relax for a moment.

After chanting for a while, the village chief asked a cross to be erected on the ground and tied the arrested villager to it.

After that, the village chief continued to chant, and as he chanted, a hole was torn open in the dark night, and out of it came something black, which stretched straight downward.

It was slender, slippery, and stench, and stretched towards the bound villagers.

As the thing kept getting closer, I finally saw clearly, it turned out to be a tongue dozens of meters long!

Is this the god in the mouth of the village chief?

Just a tongue is dozens of meters long, so how huge will this monster's real body be?

Not only me, but even Langnie, Bai Ze, and Jingjing, a few well-informed immortals, were all stunned after seeing this tongue, revealing a shocked expression.

At the same time, the tongue has extended to the body of the bound villager, and it keeps licking. The saliva soaked the villager completely.

The bound villager was already terrified to the extreme at this moment, he struggled desperately, but the hemp rope on his body tied him strongly, and he couldn't break free at all.

The village chief and the others watched from a distance, and did not have the slightest intention of stepping forward to help.

"Great God, this is a sacrifice for you, please enjoy it to your heart's content!"

The village chief prostrate himself on the ground and said respectfully to the tongue.

The tongue seemed to grasp the village chief's words, and with a snort, he hooked the villager and swept away into the sky, disappearing into the sky.

In an instant, the villager disappeared without a trace, and only a stream of blood spilled down from the sky.

The village chief looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

"Ah Mao, don't blame me, those newcomers haven't been taken down yet, I can only use you to sacrifice to the gods first."

"Who told you to keep encouraging others to leave Sanssouci Village? If you want to blame it, blame yourself for being too talkative! ”

After finishing speaking, the village chief waved his hand, and then led the others straight down the mountain and walked in the direction of the wooden building.

I also hurriedly waved my hand, greeted Lonnie and the others, took a shortcut and quickly descended the mountain, and returned to my house before the village chief returned, so as not to be found out of the ordinary.

Lying on the bed, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and the scene I had just seen on the mountain kept echoing in my mind and couldn't be dissipated.

Needless to say, the monster that ate the villagers is the god in the mouth of the village chief, and the purpose of the village chief has always intended to keep us is to treat us as sacrifices to the so-called gods!

I couldn't figure out what kind of monster that god's true body was.

Besides, why did the village chief do this, did the other villagers know, and if so, why did they willingly make sacrifices to the gods?

These new mysteries soon came to mind and puzzled me.

There are not many people in this worry-free village, and now there is one less, how can the village chief explain it to everyone?

Thinking of this, I discussed with Lonnie and the others, and decided to test it tomorrow to see how the other villagers reacted to this.

Not long after I lay down, the sky suddenly brightened again, and when I walked out, the sun was already high in the sky.

I remember very clearly that from yesterday when we entered the house, to the time we followed the village chief in the middle, to the time we returned to the house and lay down on the bed, it was only a little more than three hours.

Is it a night in such a short time?

"Get up and get to work!"

Downstairs came the shouts of the village chief, and soon, I heard the chaotic footsteps of the crowd below, and when I walked to the staircase, I saw that in the corridor, the villagers were all with sleepy eyes, and after quickly brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they ran downstairs to assemble and stood in a neat line.

At the same time, the village chief walked to our room with his hands behind his back, and when he saw that several of us were still lying on the bed, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a subtle smile.

"Guys, it's time to get up, and come downstairs for breakfast."

The village chief said enthusiastically.

"There is a notice from the village chief, we will go down immediately."

I yawned and smiled to the village chief.

"Okay, then as soon as possible, or the food will be cold."

After the village chief finished speaking, he turned and left.

We deliberately delayed for a while, and after washing up, we went downstairs and saw that the table was already full of food.

Although it was not as hearty as yesterday, it was breakfast after all, and the table was full of colorful and refreshing vegetables, rice porridge, and wotou, which looked very appetizing.

All the villagers were sitting at the table, and none of them dared to take the lead in moving their chopsticks, and when they saw us coming, the village chief hurriedly beckoned us to sit down, and then waved his hand.

"Everyone can have dinner, and we will have to work later."

For a while, the sound of gobbling up came and went, and everyone was bored and didn't say a word.

This was a good time to make some movement, so I naturally wouldn't miss it, so I deliberately looked around the crowd and made a puzzled expression.

"Why, is there one person missing?"

People were stunned and turned to look at me.

I noticed that the village chief's face was very ugly, but he managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Mr. Cheng, what are you talking about, what is missing a person?"

I said, "I remember that there was a friend named Ah Mao in the village, who toasted me yesterday, and we talked quite speculatively, and today I plan to let him take him outside, why can't I see him?" ”

This Ah Mao did toast me yesterday, but we didn't talk a few words between us, and I only learned Ah Mao's name from him when I was following the village chief.

I deliberately said it this time to see how the villagers reacted after seeing Mao disappear.

To my surprise, the village chief did not change his face and his heart did not beat, and he said something that surprised me.

"What Ah Mao, we don't have this person here?"

I suddenly said, "How is it possible, Brother Mao was still sitting here drinking with everyone yesterday, Uncle Sun, don't be joking." ”

The village chief said with a straight expression: "Mr. Cheng, I'm not joking with you, there has never been a person named Amao in our Sanssouci Village. ”

"Don't believe you're asking them?"

As he spoke, the village chief pouted and pointed to the other villagers around him.

I hurriedly looked over, but I saw that the villagers' heads were shaking their heads like rattles.
