Chapter 32: The Blood Sacrifice Begins
When Lu Yu walked into the depths of the temple for the second time, he saw the Great Elder, who was already dying, leaning weakly on his chair, panting constantly, but his eyes were still full of ambition and wisdom.
This is a weakened wolf king, but as long as he has a breath, he will not allow others to take his place, but now he is weak, and those young wolf cubs have stretched out their claws and bared their fangs, ready to challenge him.
"Third child, some people don't want my lord to reappear in the world. After retreating from everyone around him, the weak Great Elder suddenly said this, and after speaking, he looked at Lu Yu with deep eyes.
"What, how can it be that you dare to stop the awakening of my lord, who is it? Lu Yu said with a look of righteous indignation, his eyes full of fanaticism.
Seeing Lu Yu's demeanor, the Great Elder was very satisfied.
"The third is still the third, as long as the gods are brought out, everything will be solved. He thought silently in his heart.
"You also know that the blood sacrifice is a necessary condition for my lord to wake up, but now some thieves want to destroy the blood sacrifice and destroy your and me's years of arrangement, if you miss this opportunity, I don't know how long it will take for my lord to wake up again. The Great Elder said leisurely.
Lu Yu glanced at him and said: "It's about the awakening of my lord, I naturally won't be careless, say what the eldest brother wants me to do, as long as it is for the great cause of my lord, I am duty-bound." β
The Great Elder pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. The third child's reaction was expected by him, maybe he was unwilling to help himself, but as long as it involved the gods, then even if his relatives stood in front of him, the third child would kill him.
A person like the third child, the Great Elder is not willing to use it on weekdays, it is simply a double-edged sword, if you use it well, you will kill the Quartet, and if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself.
However, at this moment, he couldn't care so much, after all, now he was full of life, and he was about to meet death, and the people's hearts were floating below, and there were not many people he could trust at this time, and a fanatical belief like the Third Elder was naturally the best choice.
"Since they want to destroy the blood sacrifice, no matter what we do, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed, so I want you to collect essence blood overnight, you don't have to deliberately choose people, as long as you get enough essence blood, after all, if you miss this opportunity, my lord will wake up again. The Great Elder said solemnly, and after speaking, he stared at Lu Yu with burning eyes.
"Hate, how can those filthy essence blood be worthy of the greatness of my lord, but this time the situation is urgent, so I can only do this first, and when my lord awakens, I must hold another grand blood sacrifice to make up for my guilt towards my lord. At this time, Lu Yu's eyes were full of tears, as if he had done something that made him regret it.
"That's nature, how can the great gods be so accommodating, it is necessary to make up for our guilt towards the gods with an even greater blood sacrifice. The Great Elder agreed, knowing that there was no better way to do such a cult than to sing the praises of their great Lord.
Looking at the back of Lu Yu leaving, the Great Elder suddenly coughed violently, his body involuntarily leaned on the seat, he covered his chest, rubbed it gently, and muttered to himself: "It's soon, it's fast." Want to see me laugh, hum, too naΓ―ve. β
His eyes were like an abyss, shining with a dangerous light, and he gently stroked the chair in his hand and said, "I will sit in this position for a long time." β
At the same time, Lu Yu, who came out of the temple, snorted softly and said: "Old thing, it's really ruthless, I actually thought of this method, this is not clear for me to go to the killing ring, to make up enough essence blood." β
"But if you want this drama to continue, the essence blood must not be missing, where did I get so much essence blood for him. Lu Yu muttered to himself.
Suddenly, in his mind, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he remembered the blood river that belonged to the bloodless clothes that he used to store in the Great Dao Treasure Bottle when he was in Da Chen, and he was still lying quietly in the space of the treasure bottle at this time, which was incompatible with the vast ocean of his own sacrifice.
"It's decided, and it's going to be used. Lu Yu made up his mind, as for this blood river may be related to that Styx Ancestor, Lu Yu doesn't care, with that resurrected god in front, what does it matter to him, as long as it is not the ancestor himself, he is not afraid, can't he run away if he can't fight.
When Lu Yu handed over the river of blood in the bottle to the Great Elder, the old man, who was already dying, suddenly burst out with great strength, grabbed Lu Yu's hand, and said excitedly: "Third brother, you are indeed the most devout believer of my lord, with these essence blood, tomorrow my lord will be able to wake up from his slumber, and he will definitely be blessed with you at that time." β
"For the sake of our Lord, it is all worth it. Lu Yu pretended to be tired and said softly.
"It's hard work, go down and rest quickly, after all, we will soon meet my master, and it is not okay to look tired when the time comes. The Great Elder comforted Lu Yu in a gentle tone.
When Lu Yu slowly withdrew from the room, the Great Elder couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed: "It's done, aren't you all looking forward to my death, I'll let you know tomorrow what despair is." However, perhaps because he was too emotional, he began to cough incessantly, and even blood oozed from his mouth.
"It looks like this body is no longer useful. The Great Elder sighed faintly.
On the second day, the top of the spell mountain was already busy, and the great elder had already issued an order that a grand blood sacrifice should be opened on this day, and at that time, the gods who had been worshiped by the black-robed spell masters for many years would completely awaken and sprinkle their great power on all beings, so they should not be sloppy, and many people had already started preparations before dawn.
When the sun had risen, the Great Elder dragged his weak body to the idol, holding a wooden scepter inlaid with a strange gem, which was radiating a bright light.
This is the holy weapon of the sorcerers, it has always been in the hands of the Great Elder, he represents the gaze of the gods, and when all the stellers see this scepter, they can't help but have an urge to worship in their hearts, as if this scepter is the source of their power.
I saw that the Great Elder trembled and raised the scepter in his hand, and the light of the strange gem shone brightly, and the bright light made everyone unable to open their eyes, and a huge aura suddenly appeared in the temple, majestic and endless.
"It appeared, it was the breath of our lord. Someone muttered to himself, and by this time he had burst into tears, fell to his knees reverently, and kept bowing to the idol.
