Help, the chance to grab is poisonous

Now that he decided to take care of this matter, Li Chiyi stopped urging Dongfang Aotian to leave. After reporting his safety to the master, in the next few days, Li Chiyi and Dongfang Aotian practiced in their own rooms, waiting for four The sacrificial ceremony of the foot tribe arrives.

Li Chiyi also secretly inspected Su Shengsheng's residence, but he didn't see anything unusual. However, Li Chiyi thought it was suspicious that she, as the successor of the sacrifice, wanted to destroy the sacrifice. It's just to deceive Dongfang Aotian.

Time passed quickly, and the four-legged tribe's sacrifice of flowers and sacrifices came soon.

This is a festival that the whole village has to celebrate. That night, all men, women and children in Wubao, all dressed in red and green, painted green leaf juice on their faces, flocked to the sacrificial place in groups.

In the icy and snowy, dark field, clusters of torches form a long river of light spots. Li Chiyi and Dongfang Aotian are also mixed in it. They pretend to be porters and walk at the head of the team. The cage, holding a torch in one hand, the flame is so bright that even the exhaled mist can be seen.

Dongfang Aotian's face was wrapped under the big flowered jacket, only a pair of eyes were exposed, so that no one would recognize his face.Su Shengsheng wore sacrificial attire, and walked along with several other sacrificial girls. The ancient hymns accompanied by ethereal singing seemed strange and mysterious.

The direction of the team is facing several larger stone peaks, and the destination of the four-legged tribe should be in these stone peaks.

Sure enough, after half a stick of incense, the team walked into the cave at the foot of the mountain.

This karst cave is naturally formed, with obvious traces of man-made transformation. There are oil lamps on the wall, which are lit one by one. Dad, dancing with arms and legs, walked in front of the team, leading the way.

The team walked for about half an hour, and the space in the cave was getting bigger and bigger. Li Chiyi imagined the terrain of the cave, which should be pear-shaped, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Now they have reached the bottom, the sand is wet, not far away There is a cold underground river, and when you look up, you can only see the endless darkness, which is creepy.

There is a stone platform standing on the shore, on which a turtle totem is carved, and dried algae are hung on the white stone slab, which seems to be very old.The high priest signaled the porters to place four cages at the four corners of the stone platform. Some people in the cages came to their senses, knowing that the time of death was approaching, and began to knock on the cages frantically.

The villagers watching from the side shouted loudly: "Master High Priest, please perform the sacrificial dance, and bless us with a better harvest in the coming year!"

"Bless our prey with more abundant food!"

The villagers of the four-legged tribe are not heinous villains. Their vision is very simple, and they only hope that the ancient gods will bless their lives in peace, happiness and well-being.And it was such a group of diligent and honest villagers who turned a blind eye to the desolate and crying animals in the cage at this moment, and focused their eyes on the high priest devoutly and eagerly.

Li Chiyi sneered slightly, hiding his expression in the darkness.

After the high priest finished the lengthy dance, the villagers worshiped the stone platform piously and joyfully.

Su Shengsheng retreated to Li Chiyi and the others, and said in a low voice: "My father is casting a spell now. In half an hour, the tide in the underground river will rise and drown those victims... Actually he is pretending to cast a spell. The tide is high every day at this time."

Dongfang Aotian couldn't help but feel that such cheating daughters are rare now.Su Shengsheng continued: "The tide is rising quickly, and they will organize the villagers to evacuate later. I am a candidate for sacrifice and cannot act alone. You and Senior Brother Li should find a place to hide first, and rescue people after the tide rises. "

Taking advantage of the confusion when the villagers retreated, they retreated and hid behind the nearby stones.

Sure enough, as Su Shengsheng said, after the priest danced the sacrificial dance, the underground river water began to rise within an instant of incense burning.As the last ray of light completely disappeared into the cave, the eyes of the two fell into darkness.

The place where they were just now was still a few feet away from the river bank, and now the river has overflowed the soles of their boots.Li Chiyi urged the soil to move, and built a mound of soil at the bottom of the two people's feet. He summoned a ball of open fire in the palm of his hand. In the deep cave, it was like a warm little sun, illuminating the surrounding space.

The river overflowed the cage on the altar by the river, and the sacrifices were completely submerged in the water, unable to speak. When they saw the fire, they immediately threw up their hands, causing splashes, breaking the silence in the darkness. quiet.

Dongfang Aotian quickly jumped off the platform and swam over to open the cage for these people.

Those few people struggled out of the cage, panicked, and said repeatedly: "Thank you benefactor!"

Under the chaos, someone recognized Dongfang Aotian: "Benefactor, it's you! That foreigner who was arrested and locked up with us before!"

"That's right, that's me." Dongfang Aotian was about to convince them to testify that there was no ancient evil spirit in this cave, when he suddenly moved his nostrils, wondering, "What's the smell?"

A stench of aquatic plants came out of nowhere, and at the same time, irregular bubbles began to appear in the river.

Dongfang Aotian turned around suspiciously, and Li Chiyi stood by the altar, his face cast a shadow by the light from the palm of his hand, and thoughtfully said: "Junior brother, the soles of your feet are shining."

Dongfang Aotian hurriedly looked down, he didn't know what happened, he accidentally stood in the middle of the altar, and the magic circle engraved on the altar was emitting a bright green light at this moment.

he:? ? ?

However, when those few people saw this light, they were shocked, and their expressions were even more panicked than when they were in the cage: "The ancient gods of their four-legged tribe have come out and are coming to enjoy the sacrifices! Everyone, run away!"

"What?" Dongfang Aotian said blankly, "The ancient gods are fake, these are tricks played by the priests, don't be fooled!"

The person who recognized him just now ran away and shouted loudly: "Benefactor, run away! You are not from the Southern Man. I don't know that every tribe has sacrifices every year, but the ancient gods don't come every year. Those who are caught and sacrificed, starved to death, drowned and burned to death, if it really arouses the interest of the ancient gods, you will definitely not be able to survive, and you will not be able to die!"

In the pitch-black cave, the cold and deep river water is rising violently, and the bubbles emerging from the bottom of the water are getting bigger and bigger and more intense.The few people panicked and ran up the stone steps.

Dongfang Aotian looked at the little senior brother blankly.

Li Chiyi glanced at those who were running away anxiously: "Su Shengsheng is lying."

Dongfang Aotian couldn't help but said: "Maybe she doesn't know this, didn't she live outside since childhood?"

Li Chiyi: "You say this, do you believe it yourself?"

Dongfang Aotian murmured: "But...it doesn't make sense?" Why did Su Shengsheng lie to them? Could it be that he wanted to sacrifice them to the ancient gods?But if this is the case, she shouldn't have saved herself in the first place!

System: Congratulations to the host, for achieving the achievement of "Don't believe what beautiful women say". Facts tell us that the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful she is.

Dongfang Aotian: ...you shut up.

Before he could complain, the little senior brother suddenly lifted the back of his neck, and the rabbit raised and lowered, pulling him away from the center of the altar.

Dongfang Aotian:! ! !

The moment the two left the altar, the river surged violently, and a huge body came out of the water, and quickly and neatly bit the cage on the altar to pieces.

If Dongfang Aotian was still standing in that position just now, he might already be decapitated!

The giant beast failed in one blow, but still did not give up chasing the sacrifice. A mound-shaped body emerged from the water. It lowered its head and pecked at Dongfang Aotian and Li Chiyi.

At that moment, the distance between humans and beasts was so close, the flame in Li Chiyi's hand illuminated the giant beast, a wrinkled face clearly appeared in the field of vision, and the opponent's bean eyes the size of copper bells There were two figures clearly reflected in it.

Dongfang Aotian exclaimed: "Oh my god, such a big turtle!" Who will tell him why the ancient god is not a human, but a beast!

Li Chiyi's pupils shrank, and he finally remembered which plot in his previous life was linked to it!
