Chapter 54: Sacrifice
The bars seem mixed, most of them are irrestrained by alcohol.
Several merchants on the same boat seemed to enjoy it in this atmosphere. After a while, they were drunk in a daze under the instigation of the charming dancer.
Ning Que successfully penetrated into the enemy's inside because of his transformation into Allen's appearance, which was not suspicious.
After observing silently for a while, and indirectly, I knew that these people were preparing for sacrificial activities.
The object of the sacrifice is the goddess of Forest, and the merchants, soul hunting team and others on the ship are all sacrifices.
Ning Que originally wanted to make some things, but then a young woman passed by.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with gray eyes, full of youthful vitality on her body, wearing a blue evening dress, with her lips and teeth flowing, and her light pink slightly bright skin on her face, neck and shoulders, bright and charming.
"Alan, what are you doing here? Come with me, I have something to talk to you about."
The woman's name is Barbara, she looks very enthusiastic, and seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Alan, who has transformed into Ning Que.
Ning Que hadn't figured out the situation yet, and didn't want to alert the enemy, so he followed Barbara out.
At this time, the rain outside had stopped.
Barbara talked and laughed and took Ning Que to the small boat by the river.
"Allen, what's wrong with you? Are you worried?"
Sitting on the boat, Barbara looked at Allen (Ning Que) and seemed to notice something abnormal.
She grew up on the island with Allen, childhood sweethearts. Ellen used to be full of enthusiasm, but today she became abnormal and was silent all the way.
In fact, Ning Que had no idea about the woman in front of him, and was afraid of saying more and making mistakes.
Seeing Barbara suspicious, Ning Que imitated Allen's voice and said, "I'm thinking about sacrifice!"
"There is nothing to worry about. My father said that now most people are controlled, and only the Soul Emperor named Yan Guiren and his maid hid. It is probably because they found an abnormality."
Barbara snuggled gently in Ning Que's arms, making Ning Que feel uncomfortable.
However, in order to obtain information, Ning Que reluctantly sacrificed his color and attacked from the side: "Soul Emperor, it should be very powerful. Can the God Envoy and others deal with it?"
Barbara said: "I heard from my father that the Soul Emperor is not simple. He can actually kill the swamp octopus with 6,000 years of cultivation. However, the God Envoy is a level 69 control soul emperor and the protection of the goddess of forest, so there will be no problem."
Then he felt tired in Ning Que's arms and said softly: "We have had three sunsets and no trysts. Promise me, don't hide like this again in the future?"
While talking, his hands were stuck on Ning Que's body with oil, and his eyes looked straight into Ning Que's eyes: "I love you, Allen."
As he said that, he wanted to ask for a kiss, but Ning Que pushed it away.
Barbara was disappointed and sad, looking at Ning Que in confusion: "Why? Don't you love me anymore?"
"I love you, a big-headed ghost, you just greedy for me."
Ning Que was unfamiliar with the charm and knocked Barbara out with a knife.
Randomly release the transformed light, turning Barbara into a little hedgehog, and then turning Su Jiuer, who has turned into a squirrel, into Barbara's appearance.
"I almost suffocated."
Su Jiuer, who had changed back to human form, looked at Ning Que: "Are you sure to deal with the envoy?"
Ning Que smiled and said, "The Soul Emperor is indeed more troublesome, but he can handle it. The one I am more curious about is the goddess of the Forest."
"It's better to have less than more things, otherwise we'd better leave at night."
Although Su Jiuer was a little curious, she understood the reason why she was curious about killing cats and didn't want to cause trouble.
Especially when you are weak and helpless.
Ning Que looked at Su Jiuer: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
Judging from the information he obtained, the so-called goddess of forest and the messenger are not good people.
Ning Que himself hates trouble, but when he encounters trouble, he will try his best to solve it.
The two returned to the bar to observe.
The merchants who had been in the bar were drunk and unconscious at this time, and were tied up by the residents of the town and sent to the carriage.
Ning Que activated the transformation light, turned himself and Su Jiuer into two bees, flew to the car where the merchant was, and hid at the collar of one of them.
The residents around did not notice any abnormality, as if they were holding a ceremony. They put on black cloth masks to cover their faces and escorted several people forward.
The carriage came to the wooden house where the two of them had been.
One of them held a wooden stick and muttered something.
As the spell fell, the barrier opened a corner and the convoy entered it.
Because of the smaller, everything outside in Ning Que's vision was magnified, looking at the person next to him was like looking at a giant.
Su Jiuer observed next to Ning Que.
Those who wear black masks escorted the merchants and bound soul masters into the wooden house.
Opening the authentic entrance and entering it, the strong smell of blood made Su Jiuer a little restless.
The tunnel is dim, and the light of torches on both sides is blowing in the breeze, and it is vaguely visible to see many vines on the walls on both sides.
The people who were following Ning Que and Su Jiuer were escorted to a secret room, fixed on an iron chair, and covered with a black hood, like a prisoner waiting for execution.
After the escort left, Ning Que and Su Jiuer turned back into human form, but they still maintained the appearance of Alan and Barbara.
After sniffing his nose, Su Jiuer said: "This place looks like a place for execution. The grooves on the ground are covered with dry blood stains, and the air is filled with blood and darkness, which makes people feel very uncomfortable."
"This is what they call sacrifice!"
After observing the surroundings, Ning Que released his mental power and found that the room was isolated and he could not explore too far.
[Is it the reason for those vines? Could it be plant-based soul beasts? They can form such a barrier, at least a hundred thousand years old, but how can such a soul beast stay in such a place?]
Just as Ning Que was confused, Su Jiuer looked at the person fixed on the chair and asked Ning Que: "What should I do with this person?"
"Let him stay here first, let's go out and have a look. This place is very weird, be careful."
Ning Que and Su Jiuer opened the door of the secret room. The corridor outside the door was dark. Ning Que took the look-through autumn water dew. Night vision was no longer a problem. Su Jiuer himself transformed into an adult with a soul beast with excellent eyesight, so there was no problem.
In order not to step on things like mechanisms, Ning Que used his mind to make the two float and walk quickly through the tunnel.
After flying for a while, a song of prayer came. Ning Que left and found a light in front of him.
When approaching, Ning Que found that the vines on the stone walls on both sides became thicker and seemed to be still squirming, with special runes carved in some gaps.
There is a cave underground, which is about 500 square meters. Most of the places are covered with vines. There are many stone pillars around it, covered with candles and brightly lit.
In the center, there is a woman entangled by countless vines. She looks very bad, with haggard skin, pale skin, no blood color, and a pair of horns similar to sheep's horns on her head.
The God Messenger Brooks, the nobleman Robbie Kay, Captain Jason and many residents with black masks were standing in the clearings singing prayer songs.
