The sky was completely bright, and the sun had probably risen into the sky. Its dazzling light illuminated the entire land, but it could not penetrate the lush canopy of tall trees. Under the canopy, it was still as dark as night.
The hunter's bloody footprints extend deeper into the forest. The rain last night made the soil extremely moist, so the footprints are particularly clear, not to mention the blood that seeped into the surface. In the secluded realm, the blood left by the hunter It is no different from a torch lit in a dark forest, attracting predators with a keen sense of smell to follow the hunter's movements. The tracking team also follows the hunter's movement track, constantly shortening the distance between the two, and as the tracking progresses, , the blood dripping on the ground gradually began to decrease until it completely disappeared. It seemed that the hunter had adopted some method to stop the bleeding in order not to attract monsters.
After a while, the land under the tracking team's feet began to dry, and it was obviously out of the area where it rained last night. This is also an unusual thing about the Netherland. Any weather changes will not cover the entire Netherland, but will only be concentrated in the area. within an area.
On the ground that was not wet by rain, the hunter's footprints gradually faded. After a while, the footprints completely disappeared. However, this situation could not trouble Liu Hong, who was born in the Orion family. He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. Then he squatted on the ground, picked up the soil on the ground with his fingers, carefully felt the tightness of the soil, and judged whether the land had been stepped on before.
Then he put his finger in front of his nose and smelled it. Although the blood shed by the hunter disappeared, the smell of blood from his body still remained. As long as he traced the source of the smell, he could determine the direction of the hunter's escape, which made him feel The strange thing is that the smell suddenly disappeared not far away, as if the owner of the smell disappeared out of thin air.
"Follow me. If you don't hurry up, you may lose me." He hurriedly waved for everyone to follow. Under the leadership of Liu Hong, the seven of them got into the depths of the dense forest.
Suddenly, while walking through the dense forest, Liu Hong smelled an indescribable smell. Perhaps it was not accurate to describe it by smell, but by feeling. An indescribable feeling blocked him from tracking the smell of blood. , in a trance, as if they had passed through a transparent film, they emerged from the dense forest and broke into a forest.
This forest looks exactly like the surrounding forests, but it also feels out of place. Liu Hong can't describe this feeling accurately, but the hunter's instinct reminds him that something is not right in this area, and the entire forest is quiet. It was so terrifying that even the sound of wind, birdsong, and insects were eliminated. He was shocked to realize that this forest was lifeless, as if some invisible force had killed all life here. Although it was daytime, Liu Hong But I felt a chill.
A group of scarlet lights lit up without warning in the dark forest, attracting the attention of everyone in the team. Under the leadership of Captain Ji, the seven people quietly approached the place where the light came from, crossing a After the gentle slope, an altar made of earth and stone appeared in front of everyone.
Then dozens of silent figures like marble sculptures appeared. They surrounded the altar, their whole bodies covered in purple robes. Their gender could not be seen. It was unknown what kind of fabric the robes were made of, but they gave people a heavy feeling. The feeling is that there is a silver moon embroidered on the piping of his robe. Only one of them is different. The moon on the piping of his robe shows a gorgeous dark gold color. The top of the hood is dotted with dots of gems. He is holding a style in his hand. A strange lantern, the flame in the middle of the lantern seems to be about to go out, and the scarlet light emanates from it.
The hunter that the team had been tracking for a long time was kneeling in front of him, with his head lowered, and seemed to be talking about something. However, the seven of them were a little far away, so they couldn't hear clearly, and only intermittent conversations were heard.
"I'm sorry, Lord Taichang, I'm late." The hunter said respectfully.
"The Lord has been waiting for too long. You are trying to challenge His patience. He can't wait to come to this world. Your actions have slowed down the progress of His arrival. This is tantamount to a death penalty." Tai Chang. The voice was hoarse, like a poisonous snake hissing in the dark.
"Please forgive me! Lord Taichang, I never dared to have the intention to challenge the Lord. It was all because of those mortals whose armies discovered my traces and captured me. It took a lot of effort for me to I was able to escape." The hunter put his hand on his chest and apologized sincerely to Taichang.
Taichang's eyes flashed with a strange purple color, and he stared closely at the hunter in front of him. He was silent for a long time, and then he said: "You should feel lucky. The Lord has given me permission to keep your humble life for the time being. Because if you want to come to this world, the Lord still needs the strength of each of us, but you have to remember that your life will always belong to the Lord. If you make such a despicable mistake again, the Lord will definitely be willing to let you return in advance. His arms.”
The hunter shuddered suddenly as he knelt on the ground. The heart-stopping feeling was like a pair of invisible big hands grabbing him tightly. He didn't even have the courage to look into Taichang's purple eyes. He had already I have heard similar rumors that those purple eyes contain a trace of the Lord's consciousness. Those with weak willpower will fall into irreversible madness even if they only glance at the Lord for a moment.
The hunter bowed his head and bowed, "Thank you for your Lord's mercy. I will burn my heart to pieces and dedicate everything I have to Your Lord. Please rest assured that I will never make such a stupid mistake again!"
"Go, lost lamb, the Lord accepts your allegiance, your promise will be fulfilled, your betrayal will be judged, and your soul will be redeemed, because the Lord's pupils are always there. The sky is watching us." The purple in Taichang's eyes gradually faded, and the palpitating feeling gradually disappeared.
The hunter maintained a half-kneeling position on the ground, folding his arms and raising them above his head, "Let us become one."
Tai Chang made the same move, "For One."
Four believers carried a flawless white pig and placed it on the altar. The pig's limbs were tightly tied up with thick ropes. It could only struggle in vain, and it made feeble groans from time to time. There was a sound, and Taichang stepped forward. He stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the pig's head. An invisible force was released. The pig suddenly stopped struggling and stood still as if it was dead.
Taichang raised the sharp jade blade with his right hand and slowly cut into the pig's throat. Warm blood spattered out, making Taichang's pale face look particularly strange. The blood slowly flowed out from the pig's wound, along the As the grooves carved on the altar continued to flow, the blood-red paintbrush used the lifeless masonry as a canvas, and drew an extremely strange pattern on it - a moon with eyes and lips.
Then Taichang put down the jade blade in his hand, picked up a gold skinning knife, and began to skin the flawless domestic pig. The sharp blade easily cut open the pig's chest, and Taichang removed the internal organs. Peeling it off and throwing it casually at his feet, his skills were astonishing. If he were allowed to be a butcher, he would definitely become a legend like a butcher.
But in a moment, the entire white and flawless pig skin was peeled off, leaving only the bloody pig body. Of course Yan Zheng had killed pigs in the kitchen, but their methods were more brutal and not too common. It gives people that weird aesthetic feeling, and when they kill the pigs, they have the idea of cooking the pigs into delicacies. It can be said that in their eyes, the pigs are delicious ribs and pig head meat, but when they see it with their own eyes, they After Chang slaughtered the pig, the originally fragrant pork looked so disgusting to Yan Zheng. He couldn't help but think that if there was a person on the altar, then this person would also be too often. Skins off easily like a pig.
Tai Chang put down the gold skinning knife, folded his arms and raised them above his head, chanting a prayer in a hoarse voice, "Great Lord, we praise your majesty. In order to welcome your arrival, we abandoned the world. Identity, hiding in the boundless darkness, walking with snakes, rats, and scorpions, swallowing other creatures for food, makes this humble body covered with filth, but from now on, we, who are so filthy and unbearable, We must live to spread the glory of the Lord and spread the blessings of the Lord, because we know that as long as your existence exists forever, then we will be saved. At that moment when the gate of hell opens, in that world, you will be like a mirror. In the broken moment, you will accept us without reservation, integrate with us, and take us to the other side with you!"
The leader of the high priest took a step closer and respectfully saluted the Lord, "Lord, the ceremony has been prepared, please."
The Lord exhaled a mouthful of white smoke leisurely. The smoke changed in the air, and the innocent souls were crying in it. The Lord casually waved his hand to disperse the smoke.
The high priest stretched out his hand, the throne made of flesh and blood was lowered, and the platform made of obsidian was lifted up.
The Lord's gorgeous clothes disappeared like smoke. He lay on a platform made of obsidian. On the same platform on the other side, there lay a young body. His appearance was nine times similar to that of the Lord, but he was younger. Even more perfect, the priests surrounded the platform and raised their hands toward the sky. Five thick black energies stretched out from behind them, like the tentacles of the evil god stretching out, piercing directly into the bodies of the five shadow archers behind them. The black energy stretched out. It twitches constantly as if eating, crushing the soul into pure energy and delivering it to
The Lord's soul rose up and began to transfer towards the young body. The Lord's power was too powerful, and if he wanted to carry his soul, he would need to sacrifice.
