Sacrifice under the ancient tree.
Everyone was curious and watched as the three girls in charge of the sacrifice respectfully placed the little lizard on an altar.
"Hoho~"
The little lizard moved its front paws listlessly, then moved its buttocks and reluctantly sat in the center of the altar.
The altar is a circular pillar about one meter high, with a similar pillar that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top connected to the side.
It is also a stone thing.
But it's about 1.5 meters tall.
The girls in charge of the sacrifice actually took out a pale white knife from their waists in front of everyone.
"let's start!"
The leading girl said to the other two companions.
Seeing that both of them nodded, they took the lead in rolling up the sleeves on their wrists... Their clothes were in warm colors, with light red and yellow stripes dotting the whole body. The cuffs of the clothes were also wider, making them look more gorgeous and grand. .
Poof!
The knife cut on the white and tender forearm, instantly creating a long wound.
The blood flowing out of it dripped along the tip of the knife.
The sacrificial girl didn't panic either.
Instead, he moved his arm forward and landed on the stone pillar, letting the blood drip along the wound and onto the stone pillar.
There is a small groove on it where the blood collects.
The other two girls repeated this operation, but the many survivors who watched on the side frowned.
"What does this mean?"
Shu Mu felt slightly uncomfortable inside, and so did everyone else.
It doesn't matter if you let yourself and others kill a few zombies.
Even vicious people who destroy lives.
They can also kill them without changing their expressions.
But when he saw the well-behaved girl in front of him actually slit his arm with a knife, it was obvious that he was performing some kind of not-so-good sacrificial ceremony, and he suddenly felt bad.
"Brothers, this is..."
Yang Huai also understood that this behavior did seem a bit evil, so he cupped his hands and wanted to explain apologetically.
"This... is just an ordinary sacrifice!"
at this time.
A group of people suddenly walked out. The old man who led them explained, "It takes a long time to hatch dragon eggs, and the environmental conditions required are also very harsh."
"To speed up the hatching of dragon eggs."
"You can only water it with blood and let the dragon egg absorb the energy in the blood."
"To accelerate growth...but most of the time, it is watered with the blood of mutated creatures. Their blood is rich in energy and is the main sacrificial material."
"And the usual sacrifices only go through a process and are only carried out once a month, and the candidates for the sacrifices will also change, so they will not cause any burden to these children."
"And every child who participates in the sacrifice will be compensated, and the candidates for the sacrifice are all voluntary. Please rest assured..."
The old man who spoke was the tribe leader.
He is older, with a head full of white hair, but with his hands behind his back and a straight waist, he looks quite strong overall.
"I am very grateful to all the little heroes for coming."
The patriarch first expressed his gratitude, and then said to Yang Huai, "Xiao Yang, please inform the villagers and let the villagers prepare good food and wine. You little heroes have had a hard journey and should have a good rest."
"Yes, patriarch."
Yang Huai took the order.
He strode away with the young guard who was following him.
As for the group of children who had been following Shu Mu and others.
When seeing the patriarch and the others.
They all screamed strangely, played around, and ran away...
The old patriarch was also appointed as the patriarch within this year. The previous old patriarch was killed in the beast wave.
strictly speaking.
The old patriarch was appointed in the same year as Yang Huai and others.
It's just that he was originally a relatively respected person in the village, so after the death of the previous old patriarch, he naturally inherited the position of patriarch.
And he took responsibility.
During this year, the village was kept in order.
Yang Huai and his younger generation of awakened people were also discovered and trained by him and several elders.
Originally, the village had begun to prosper and develop, and every time the beasts attacked, there were powerful awakened ones who could come forward to deal with it.
In the last war.
They obtained the flesh and blood of many mutated creatures, especially a beast king, and the flesh and blood of a giant dragon, which gave them several general-level awakened ones!
It can be said that it is prospering day by day, and prosperity is just around the corner.
But the zombie crisis that appeared inexplicably swept their village again.
Now all the residents are in danger.
I am afraid that I will be the next person to become a zombie.
But villages cannot stop developing, especially farming and hunting.
So during the day, the men still have to go out to work, while the women dry herbs and some dried meat.
Just compared to normal times.
During the day, there will be more patrols in the village.
At night, there will be a clear ban on visiting the house. You can only stay in your own home and are not allowed to go out at will...
"So, our mission is to investigate why zombies suddenly appeared in the village?" After listening to the clan leader's explanation, the survivors immediately understood the mission of this trip.
"Then...where should we start?" The person who spoke was a survivor who could turn into a little giant before.
Everyone shook their heads, there was no clue for the time being.
As for the clan leader.
After telling them about the mission, he actually left with the elders without giving any other clues.
The three girls responsible for the sacrifice skillfully took out the bandages.
Wrap it around your arm a few times.
In fact, they didn't make too deep a wound. They just shed a fist-sized ball of blood on the pillar.
The weird thing is.
Although this group of blood was shed by three people, it should be integrated together, but it was scattered into three groups in the pit, close to each other, but the two groups were very distinct.
"Pfft~"
The piranha stretched out its tiny vines and seemed to like these three balls of blood.
But Shu Mu frowned.
It then shrank back obediently and lay quietly on its shoulder.
"Roar……"
At this time, the little lizard dragon wanted to quietly return to Shu Mu's arms after seeing the three girls in charge of the sacrifice leaving.
But when it stood up unsteadily.
I felt a little dizzy, so I sat back down and lay on the altar, and fell asleep within a short while.
"Boss, do you think this thing is a little strange?"
Li Kun walked around the altar and studied it, but the altar was tightly sealed, as if it were a natural stone sculpture.
There is no weird mechanism at all.
"Yeah, indeed."
Shu Mu did not deny it.
He just stepped forward and held the sleeping little lizard in his arms.
