Chapter 239 Sacrifice(1/2)
Li Tao frowned and said: "The difference in strength is too far. If we go to rescue them, we are simply seeking death."
"Let's wait until Brother Feng comes back."
Li Ye said anxiously: "By the time my brother comes back, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Why?" Li Tao asked with a surprised look on his face.
Li Ye frowned and said, "I heard from those pirates that all the captured boys and girls will be taken into the valley and undergo a ceremony."
"After the ceremony, all the boys and girls will be killed."
Li Tao was shocked when he heard this: "What, kill all the boys and girls?"
"Well, it's absolutely true. No matter what, we have to go and take a look. It's our people who can't wait to die without saving them." Li Ye's face was solemn.
When Li Tao heard this, he hesitated for a while and said in a low voice: "You just escaped from death, and now you are going to provoke those pirates. It is too dangerous."
"Go even if you are in danger." Li Ye said through gritted teeth, with a determined look on his face.
Li Tao said: "We have to prepare in advance if we want to go."
"Well, is there anything you can do?" Li Ye looked at Li Tao in surprise.
Li Tao nodded: "There is a way, but I don't know if it will work."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go." Li Ye rested for a while, his face regained its rosiness, and then he stood up and walked quickly towards the center of the island. Li Tao had no choice but to follow.
When Li Ye and other tribesmen were captured, the whole village was in chaos. Li Tao was lucky enough to escape the pirates' pursuit. He was following Li Ye because he was worried about Li Ye's safety.
The people in the village thought he was dead, but they didn't expect to track him down here.
Just now, he killed a monster on the way and lured other ferocious monsters to stop the pirate team, creating chaos and giving Li Ye a chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, he was chased by two pirates. Fortunately, Li Tao took action at the critical moment and was able to kill the two pirates.
Both of them have good strength. Li Tao is now a five-star warrior, and Li Ye is a four-star warrior, thanks to the vitality secrets that Li Feng left for the village.
In the past two years, all the young people in the village have practiced martial arts. Because they have role models like Li Feng, they all work hard and want to stand out like Li Feng. In the fierce atmosphere of competition with each other, many warriors have been born in the village.
come out.
And Li Tao and Li Ye are the best among them.
Li Tao ran through the forest with his machete and Li Ye in hand, quickly heading towards the center of the island.
I'm afraid I'll miss the time and be late.
After Li Tao and Li Ye ran for more than ten miles and passed through a dense jungle, they soon came to a towering cliff and looked down at the valley below. They suddenly saw a strange scene.
In the valley, piles of bonfires were raised, and the firelight shone all around. Dozens of pirates gathered together, each with a fierce look, and the atmosphere seemed very solemn.
In the center, there is a mysterious small pyramid altar piled up, with a large number of bloody secret texts engraved around it. A short mysterious old man wearing a huge thick hat sits cross-legged on the altar, sitting cross-legged and motionless.
At the entrance of the canyon, pirates escorted hundreds of teenagers into a long queue. One of the pirates stood at the intersection, holding a strange crystal ball in his hand.
Every teenager will be forced to touch the crystal ball. If the crystal ball does not respond, he will be pushed directly into the death pit next to him and buried alive.
"Hurry up, hurry up, come one by one."
"Little bastard, please be honest with me."
"Put your hand on the crystal ball and concentrate. If anyone can make the crystal ball shine, let him go."
The pirates escorted the teenagers, cursing and scolding, and the sounds of scolding echoed over the valley.
After hearing this, the teenagers all looked nervous. They touched the crystal balls one by one and concentrated their thoughts.
However, one boy after another tried again and again, but the crystal ball showed no reaction at all.
After testing thirty or forty teenagers in succession, a girl finally touched the crystal ball, and a burst of dazzling white light erupted.
"Haha, I finally found a sacrificer whose spirit meets the requirements."
"Take him over quickly."
"Master Feihu wants it, hurry up."
Seeing the girl touching the crystal ball and having it react strongly, the pirates immediately opened their eyes wide and were all extremely surprised.
A bald, burly man with a broad sword and a cross scar on his cheek came over, stared and shouted sternly: "Hurry up and test, there are still two spiritual awakeners left."
"If anyone delays Lord Feihu's important event, I will skin you."
This person is none other than Guan Yunpeng, the leader of the three tigers of the Guan family.
He is also the strongest among the three brothers.
Obviously, their group of pirates were arresting young girls everywhere in the Purple Sand Islands. They were not simply robbing money. They seemed to have other motives.
When the pirates around them heard what leader Guan Yunpeng said, they were immediately startled, and then they sped up their movements and asked the teenagers to check their spiritual talents one by one.
The girl who made the crystal ball shine and tested her spiritual talent was trembling with fear. She was immediately escorted by two pirates to the altar. Then she walked into a six-pointed star array carved with blood and knelt down.
There are two spiritual awakeners like her around, plus three of hers.
"Buzz!"
The girl was pushed into the bloody six-pointed star array and was instantly suppressed by a strange suction force, causing a strange wave.
The six-pointed star array shines brightly!
Immediately afterwards, a blood line extended from the six-pointed star array and spread directly to the mysterious old man on the altar.
"Ah!" The girl's body convulsed instantly, and she let out a scream. Her entire face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her originally delicate skin slowly lost its elasticity and vitality.
It became as dry as a dry tree bark with all the moisture removed, and the whole person exuded a strong aura of death.
The scarred man turned around slightly and looked at the mysterious altar not far away, with a flash of fear and awe in his eyes.
On the cliff, Li Tao and Li Ye looked at this scene in shock, their faces couldn't help but twitch, and there was indescribable confusion and panic in their eyes.
"They have been captured here for so many years. What do these pirates want to do?" Li Ye said angrily.
Li Tao looked solemn and said: "It seems that some mysterious ritual is being performed, and there seems to be a request."
"What's the request?" Li Ye asked with doubts in his eyes.
Li Tao's eyes flashed and he said in a serious tone: "Did you notice that those teenagers are going to touch the crystal ball in the hands of a pirate?"
"The boy who can make the crystal ball shine will be sent to that altar."
"Juveniles who fail to meet the requirements will be pushed into the death pit next to them and buried alive on the spot."
"It seems that this group of pirates is not like ordinary pirates who burn, kill and loot. They seem to have an ulterior motive."
When Li Ye heard Li Tao's explanation, his beautiful eyes suddenly widened. He grabbed a rock with his right hand and crushed it to pieces in an instant. His whole body was trembling with anger: "These bastards are so disgusting and cruel. They are so cruel to our people."
, to dare to do this is simply inhumane.”
"Calm down, this situation is not good for us now." Li Tao stretched out his big hand and gently pressed Li Ye's shoulder to comfort him.
Li Ye gritted his teeth and said: "You dare to take the lives of civilians like us and ignore them. I must save them, this bunch of bastards."
"Don't be reckless." Li Tao said worriedly.
Li Ye's eyes flashed with hatred: "Why are you so calm? Are you watching them kill all our people?"
"Hey, you girl has the same temper as your brother, what are you going to do?" Li Tao sighed softly and asked.
Li Ye said: "Of course we are going to save them."
"How to save?" Li Tao asked.
Li Ye hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll make a big noise to attract them to leave."
"Then, you go and save them."
When Li Tao heard what she was thinking of, he smiled bitterly: "Zi Zi, what are you thinking of? It's just a joke with your life."
"What do you mean?" Li Ye looked at Li Tao with some displeasure.
Li Tao smiled bitterly and said, "How do you plan to create noise and attract them to leave?"
"Even if these pirates are lured away by you, how will you deal with them then?"
"And the old man sitting on the altar is obviously not a character that is easy to mess with."
"I'm afraid you haven't even considered these issues."
Li Ye was immediately speechless and said angrily: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way." Li Tao lowered his head and thought, his eyes scanning the canyon below, and many thoughts passed through his mind.
Li Ye stood on the cliff, looking down at the young men in the valley being pushed into the death pit one by one, feeling extremely anxious.
"You hurry up and think of a solution, it's almost too late."
Li Tao looked solemn, racking his brains and thinking.
Suddenly, a roar of beasts came from the depths of the forest behind. It resounded over Canglang Island.
"Yes!" Li Tao heard the movement and suddenly had an idea.
Li Ye quickly asked: "What can I do?"
