This simplification is outrageous

The boy is still young, they are all suffering from the root cause of illness, if they are really the first to rush up, they will probably die.

"This is a rule established by the village from the very beginning, and no one can violate it. When the gods no longer protect the village, everyone here will die!"

The village chief's voice sounded in the crowd, and then everyone seconded.

"What are you waiting for? Wait for that thing to enter the village and kill us all!"

The crowd suddenly realized that they immediately rushed forward, and quickly restrained the return home.

"Village Chief, I'll go with you, don't hurt my son." The old woman's voice came from inside the house.

"Mom..." The captured boy's eyes were full of tears.

……

When Qiao Yuan and the two rushed to the scene, they happened to see the young man paralyzed on the ground with a distraught face.

After some questioning, Qiao Yuan and the two got a very important clue.

The so-called offering turned out to be a sacrifice!

This kind of ceremony is held once a year. Otherwise, if a major abnormal situation is encountered, the ceremony will be advanced.

Sacrifice the dying and gain the protection of the gods!

During this period of time, the young mother in the village was in poor health and met the conditions for sacrifice. The village head led the villagers to arrest the young mother just now.

This is a rule established by the village more than ten years ago.

……

outside the village.

A simple altar rose from the ground.

A group of ragged villagers lined up cautiously, each holding a cloth bag in his arms, his expression full of worry.

"Village Chief, this is my offering for this month."

A dark villager at the front opened the cloth bag, revealing more than a dozen fruits.

The village chief in front nodded, indicating to put it in the bamboo basket behind the altar.

Then the villagers lined up behind them proceeded one by one, offering their own food.

More or less, one after another, this kind of fruit has reached hundreds.

After the worship was over, everyone lifted the bound old woman to the table, and then looked at the village chief.

He presided over the sacrificial ceremonies in the past!

"We have been trapped here for more than ten years, and everyone knows the danger of this place. Over the past ten years, there have been strays who came to our village one after another, some joined us, some left the village..."

"For those who join the village, I will provide you with safe accommodation and teach you how to survive... and for those who leave the village, I will pray for them day and night. All I do is to hope that in this dangerous place, Everyone survives!"

"As humans, we should help each other. As for the gods we enshrine, maybe you people don't know about them in recent years, but I can tell you that if it wasn't for the blessing of the god we enshrine, everyone in the village would be terribly alienated." Spirit attack!"

"And today, some villagers were attacked in the village, and the protection of the gods began to weaken, so we must hold the ceremony in advance!"

"As for the candidates for the sacrifice, this was decided from the beginning. Everyone...including me, if anyone reaches this point, for the sake of the future of the village, they must voluntarily stand up and offer sacrifices to the gods!"

"..."

The village head looked directly at the crowd, and his voice was low and serious.

"The ceremony begins!"

As the village head faced the sacrifice and recited some inexplicable words, all the villagers knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

After half an hour.

Only then did the village chief stop reciting.

"The ceremony is over, it's time to invite the gods to eat, everyone returns to the village, and prays sincerely!"

The enshrinement ceremony has lasted for more than ten years, and most of the villagers are familiar with this process. After the village chief finished speaking, they all returned to the village silently.

For a while, only the village chief was left on the scene.

After counting the fruits in the basket again, the village head's frowning brow finally eased.

……

"Yo, it's all over?" Qiao Yuan's voice floated.

The village chief's neck stiffened, and he turned his head to look back, just in time to find Qiao Yuan standing not far away, and it seemed that they had been standing there for a long time.

"The gods will enjoy the sacrifice immediately, please return to the village immediately to avoid being accidentally injured!" The village head put away the expression on his face and said calmly.

"I have killed many strange spirits, and destroyed dozens of strange things. What does the god look like? My knife is already hungry and thirsty!"

"Blasphemy is a death penalty!"

That is, as soon as the village chief finished speaking, a blood-colored mist suddenly filled the surroundings, thick and strange.

This feeling……

Just like in the village!

Just stronger!

When Qiao Yuan's spiritual power spread, he was also restricted, and under the observation of spiritual power, the village head and Wu Jie both turned into bones.

Soon, a frightening sound of howling ghosts and wolves resounded from the blood mist, and then a black figure walked out slowly, staring at everyone with scarlet eyes, with an evil smile on the corner of its mouth.

Watching the "god" move towards Qiao Yuan and the two of them, the village chief hid silently.

During this more than ten years, he also met some powerful characters one after another. In order to leave here, these strays found out some things.

But to this day, the village's secrets have never been revealed!

As the head of this village, he has this confidence!

This foreign awakened person is indeed very powerful. I heard from Homecoming that the existence that can kill the spirit of the bell is at least the fifth level.

Judging from his appearance, most of them are also the kind of people who are extremely curious, and this kind of people are not suitable to stay in the village.

Now it is just time for the gods to resolve this uncertain factor.

From today onwards, the village will return to what it was before, and the secrets of the village and the fruits will always be hidden.

Again and again!

……

"Senior, I can't see!"

Under the fog of blood.

As a sixth-level awakened person, Wu Jie panicked. He felt like his eyes were covered with a layer of red cloth, and his whole body was surrounded by boundless blood. He tried to open his eyes wide, but he couldn't see anything. .

There is no sound around, only empty, cold echoes, giving people a feeling of extreme depression.

"Six steps forward!"

Qiao Yuan's voice came from nowhere.

In this case, Wu Jie could only choose to listen to his seniors.

"Senior, what then?" Wu Jie's body was trembling, and for some reason, he always felt a chill surrounding him.

"Turn left, take seven steps..."

"Turn right……"

"..."

Wu Jie resisted his fear and walked step by step according to Qiao Yuan's instructions, until he finally stopped when Qiao Yuan called to stop.

A deadly chill hit Tianling Gai directly from the soles of the feet!

Wu Jie's forehead was covered with sweat, and his face became pale because of nervousness.

"Senior, what then?"

"Stretch out your right hand and touch it forward!"

Wu Jie probed, and immediately touched something hard and cold.

"Senior, I seem to have touched something."

"What did you touch?"

Wu Jie's scalp was numb, and he stretched out his hand to touch it upwards.

"Senior, it's a human leg!"

……

In this blood mist where he couldn't see his fingers, he suddenly touched a human leg, why didn't he feel frightened!

At that moment, the leg disappeared, and at the same time a pair of cold and numb hands grabbed his neck.

It almost suffocates him!

"Senior...it's...a foreign spirit..." Wu Jie shouted in horror.

As a sixth-level awakened person, he was as weak as a baby at this moment.

"Oh... so it's really there!"

Qiao Yuan drew his knife out, a cold light flashed, cutting through the blood mist instantly, Wu Jie, who was suffocating, felt a breath of fresh air.

There was something about this strange spirit. The instant the blood mist shrouded him, Qiao Yuan could only sense a blurry figure under the induction of spiritual power. He was not sure if it was his real body.

So we can only do this!

Wu Jie's touch proved that he was right!

Wu Jie: "..."

This senior actually regarded himself as a pathfinder!

Looking at the blood mist that seemed to be rolling, Wu Jie finally suppressed the words in his heart.

……

At this time, there were repeated low roars in the blood mist, and the sound of muffled thunder came from time to time, and terrifying thunder and lightning thundered down, splitting the blood mist to pieces.

Not long after, the blood mist dissipated, and in Wu Jie's line of sight, Qiao Yuan's figure appeared, holding a corpse of a foreign spirit that had been completely cooled.

Besides... there was another figure kneeling on the ground.

It's the village chief!

"Wu Jie, do you believe that I can shove his head into the ghost's ass with one hand?"

Wu Jie: "..."

The threatened village head: "..."

……

Non-violent non-cooperation!

The patron saint of the village, that is, the seventh-level spirit was killed by Qiao Yuan, an outsider, and there was only one word in front of him.

trick!

The situation was as Qiao Yuan guessed, this seventh-level spirit was protecting the village to some extent.

It can confuse the perception of awakened people and even ghosts.

Within the scope of the village, the villagers are equivalent to bones of the dead, which is why the entire village has been able to stand in this dangerous place for more than ten years.

Moreover, when his life was threatened, the village chief also revealed a shocking news.

The village established by the first group of them back then was actually fueled by someone behind it!

As an awakened person who unexpectedly awakened, he was elected as the leader that year.

He has only one task.

Mining fruits, hand in regularly!

The location of the fruit forest was provided by the other party, and the same is true for the location of the village. Only by eating the fruit can you stay longer in the fruit forest and go deeper into the fruit forest.

The situation at that time was no safer than it is now. In order to survive, he agreed to the other party's request.
