Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

The sacrificial site was not far from this perch. After walking for about half an hour, Nan Dou and Hu Tao saw a ceremony site lit by many candles.

Here, the two saw more "people" who were scattered throughout the sacrificial site, talking to each other from time to time.

In the center of the sacrificial venue, a middle-aged man with a white beard and gray hair stood quietly.

Walnut came in front of him, but he just looked straight ahead and had no intention of paying any attention to Walnut.

There is nothing much to say. After all, these people are actually phantoms of people who have appeared before, which means that he did nothing at this time before.

"According to Aru's description, this must be the grandfather he mentioned. However, he doesn't look very old. He should be called grandfather because of his respected status."

Hu Tao tilted her head and analyzed it, looking at Nan Dou for confirmation.

Nandou smiled and shook his finger, saying, "Not only that, he is actually Aru's father and the priest of this festival."

Kurumi thought for a moment and said, "No wonder, because Aru's father is the priest of the tribe, so he can become the [protagonist] of this festival."

Nandou looked at Hu Tao with a strange expression and did not explain too much: "Let's go and see what others have said."

"Ah."

Hu Tao and Nan Dou walked around the festival, and in the end they only heard the conversation between two white-haired old men.

Kurumi and Nandou heard some news from old men named Abe and Una.

The thick fog on Tsurukan Island is called the "Sea of ​​Fog".

In their perception, outside the sea of ​​fog is a dark world.

The priest once said that as long as the Heguan people leave the fog, their souls will be lost and become dark shadows wandering in the silent kingdom.

The people of Heguan believe that Lord Thunderbird used the fog to protect Heguan, otherwise all the people of Heguan would have died out long ago.

The reason why the people of Heguan hold the festival is to thank the thunderbird for its protection.

Some people once wanted to leave Heguan Island and follow the light of the thunderbird to find new land, but no one has ever returned alive.

Apart from this, Nan Dou and Hu Tao did not get any other useful information.

"That's about it. Time to go and offer sacrifices to the remaining roosts."

Although Heguan Island is shrouded in fog, the density of the fog varies.

The fog around the roost will be thicker, and relying on this feature, the two quickly found a roost and happened to meet Aru who was waiting there.

It just so happens that I know where this route leads.

Soon, under Aru's guidance, the two completed the offerings to the remaining few trees.

The three of them hurried all the way back to the sacrificial site.

There were many more people at the festival than before I left.

"Aru..."

When Kurumi saw this scene, she knew that it was time for Aru, the protagonist of the festival, to appear.

But when Kurumi turned around, she saw Alu running away with a dazed look on her face.

At the same time, another Aru appeared out of nowhere and walked towards the people in the festival step by step.

"Strange, this A-ru is just a projection like the others, with no breath of the living, nor the breath of a soul."

"As the protagonist of the festival, it's normal to be a little special." Nan Dou explained casually.

Watching Aru walk towards the altar surrounded by the crowd, Nandou said to Kurumi with some reluctance: "That's enough, let's leave first."

Although she felt a sense of uneasiness, Kurumi still insisted, "Now that we are here, I want to know the truth about the festival!"

"Don't worry, brother. I can accept it no matter what the result is!"

Nan Dou saw the determination in Hu Tao's eyes and finally nodded and agreed.

But I still couldn't help but sigh in my heart...

Sister, that scene was really too cruel.

Let’s return our attention to the festival.

Mochi Festival

The priest also wore a gorgeous crown inlaid with gems, which was a symbol of his status as a highly respected priest.

Aru was welcomed to the altar by everyone.

On the altar is a gorgeous hourglass made of amethyst and amber, which tells the time for the priests every time the thunderbird descends.

In addition, there are three gorgeous ritual wine cups and some basins and bowls on the altar.

Normally, if a sacrifice was being held, the containers should be filled with meat, fruits, and wine, but the containers on the altar were empty.

Alu lay obediently on the altar with a very calm look in her eyes.

Aru's father, the priest, raised his hands high and chanted ancient and obscure tunes with a fanatical and excited look, while pouring a cup of liquid into Aru's mouth.

Soon, Aru closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The sand in the hourglass also disappeared at this moment, and the expression on his face gradually turned towards madness.

The priest took out a sharp knife from somewhere.

Kurumi's eyes suddenly widened as she realized many things: "Could he be...?!"

"Ah~" Nan Dou didn't say anything, but just sighed deeply.

The next scene showed Kurumi clenching her hands continuously, and she even wanted to rush out, but was stopped by Nandou.

Nan Dou knew that everything before his eyes was just a projection, just a repetition of what happened countless years ago.

While she was sleeping, her own father slashed her body with a sharp blade, separated her bones and blood, and offered her as a sacrifice to his friend... Kapachiri.

Aru's blood was poured into the ritual wine cup, and her flesh and blood were placed in the basin.

But the strange thing was that his father, the priest who was also the host of the ceremony, not only did not show any pain on his face, but instead looked extremely happy.

As for the people watching around, some lowered their heads, trembling as they dared not look any further, while others were just like the priests.

They seemed happy to have offered the best sacrifice to their guardian, the Thunderbird.

But their joy did not last long, because... the thunderbird arrived!

Seeing her friend being turned into a pile of lifeless flesh and blood by her own foolish peers, Kapachili was furious.

"Wow!!!"

Along with an extremely violent roar, the power of the demon god descended violently upon this land.

The terrifying red thunder indiscriminately killed all humans in the sacrificial site, and the magnificent altar was overturned by the thunder.

"almost……"

Nan Dou hugged Hu Tao with one hand and ran quickly towards the outside of Heguan Island. Lei Ting behind him kept chasing him but could not touch Nan Dou at all.

Soon, the two returned to the place where they first landed in Heguan.

The terrifying thunder gradually subsided after a while.

Kurumi looked at Nandou and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but fell silent again.

Nandou held Kurumi's little hand and looked at her kindly: "It's okay Kurumi, let's start the second attack."
