The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.
Chapter 256 Sacrifice
There is a circle around this formation, surrounding a village that is neither big nor small.
A group of small black dots is gathering in the formation, they should be the residents here.
Thinking like this in his heart, Chu Qianqiu didn't even have time to appreciate the dancing Icirrus of Icirrus in Beiju Lu Continent, nor to feel the extreme coldness brought by his body, and he was already attracted by this strange scene.
"What are they doing?"
"They seem to be waiting for us to land."
Chu Qianqiu asked cautiously, asking Ba Tian if he needed to take action.
The group of people below had an unknown origin, and it was unclear whether they were human or ghost. If they had hostile intentions towards them, it would be a big trouble.
He searched with his spiritual power, but couldn't determine the specific strength of these guys. But he couldn't just imagine a group of trash as potential enemies because of this.
Carelessness is often fatal, so at this moment, Chu Qianqiu would rather believe that there is a one percent chance that they are a group of strong people, rather than be swayed by the ninety-nine percent possibility that they are a group of civilians.
"It's okay, I know them."
"They are ordinary humans from Beiju Lu Continent and won't cause us harm."
Ba Tian's answer eased the atmosphere at this moment.
Chu Qianqiu then retracted the Heavenly Fire Spear in his hand and the aggressive posture he had just shown.
"Ordinary people?"
"Haven't ordinary people frozen to death a long time ago?"
"Can people live in such a place?"
He asked with some confusion.
In Chu Qianqiu's opinion, this freezing place made him feel like he was about to freeze to death as soon as he arrived.
And if those people below were just a group of ordinary people without any strength, wouldn't they turn into stone sculptures in minutes and forever become artifacts of the era, waiting for future archaeological teams to come and excavate?
"It's because they live within the formation and are protected by it, so they can resist a lot of coldness."
"In other words, it's the former strong members of the Monster Race who protected them. So now, they should be holding some kind of worship ceremony, wanting to offer sacrifices to the Monster Race who once showed them kindness."
Ba Tian explained like this, which somewhat relieved Chu Qianqiu's doubts.
So, it was this formation that was playing a role.
And when he descended to about ten meters above the ground, he did indeed find that the surrounding environment became much milder.
However, he still had some doubts. If these humans wanted to offer presents to the Monster Race, in such a freezing environment, it would be impossible to even raise pigs or cows for slaughter, let alone provide vegetables.
In this barren place, what could be worth offering to their "divine beings"?
"Huh? Dad, it seems like those people on the ground are killing."
"Could the things they use for sacrifice be the people in the village?"
After listening to Ba Tian's explanation just now, Xiao Yuehan also understood what the people below were doing.
That's right, they were killing.
More accurately, it is sacrificing live offerings.
"Great divine beings, you have finally descended!"
Below, a man dressed in snow leopard fur and wearing a hat made of a special kind of animal fur called a "shaman" character, prostrated himself in the direction they were descending.
In his hand, he still held a brand new crescent moon scythe.
And the people behind him also knelt down respectfully, all devout.
Only Stephanie, who was surrounded by them, did not kneel because she was lying down at the moment, her hands and feet tied behind her back, her mouth stuffed with a pile of dried plants similar to vanilla. She couldn't move.
Her hair was messy, making it difficult to see her exact appearance.
But judging from her physical development stage, she should have just reached adulthood, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
She stood out among the barbarians covered in fur, dressed very simply, just a rough cloth, which had been soaked in blood countless times, turning red and black, looking very striking.
Chu Qianqiu glanced at her and felt that this little Stephanie was the person his daughter had mentioned, the sacrificial offering to be killed for the sake of the divine beings.
"Great gods! Hama! Hava! Sasia!"
After speaking a few words that Chu Qianqiu could understand, these guys began to speak in their own unique dialect, like an opening ceremony of celebration, making it difficult to understand and mysterious.
The members of the Tyrant Race officially landed in the center of the formation, stepping on the platform built by these humans, looking down at them with an absolute superiority.
"Sasia Saka!"
Suddenly, for no reason, the Tyrant said, then transformed into its true form, revealing its true appearance, but its size did not completely become huge.
The other members of the Monster Race did the same, transforming into their true forms, but maintaining a relatively safe size, just to intimidate the barbarians present.
Upon hearing the Tyrant's command, the leading shaman immediately understood the meaning and made way, respectfully looking at the several members of the Monster Race.
At this moment, the shaman also noticed the two figures who were the leaders of their worshiped divine beings, who had not yet revealed their true forms. Excited, they began to discuss in a low voice.
"What the hell are they saying?" Chu Qianqiu asked the Tyrant next to him, feeling that these guys were secretly insulting him.
"They are asking who you are, they have never seen you before," the Tyrant answered, as if answering his master's question normally.
"They have never seen me? That's natural."
"Have they seen you? Have you been here before?" Chu Qianqiu asked again.
"Yes, I have been here a few times to deal with some matters."
"During this process, I learned their language and had a conversation with them, but I hardly said anything. After all, they worship me as a god, and since I am a god, I should speak less and maintain the mystery." Explaining this, the Tyrant found these humans quite interesting.
"Oh, so they are performing a sacrifice now? Trying to summon you?"
"Maybe."
"What do you mean maybe? Isn't this what you instructed them to do?"
"Of course not."
"Then why don't you stop them? After all, they are killing each other."
"Lord, before you became the Lord, we, the Monster Race, always looked down on humans. Even now, I only respect you.
"Originally, these barbarians lived in our Monster Race's territory, and I wanted to kill them, but they admired me greatly and liked to express their gratitude to me through sacrifices, so I spared them and let them continue to live here."
"In a way, I have been quite merciful to them. After all, they should have been extinct long before their several Eterna ancestors, but they have continued to multiply until now, and every few years, they only need to sacrifice a few people as a show. Isn't this something quite acceptable?"
