Chapter 47 The arrival of ancient evil (Part 2)

But I saw a little white light suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.

The white light happened to appear in Sahara Masahiro's sight, and in just a few seconds, it changed from a dotted line to a circle... into a white light ball that is constantly growing.

Whatever the thing is, it is obvious that it is approaching the valley at a very amazing speed.

At this moment, Sahara Masahiro was also shocked. He just stood there and didn't react at all that if the thing in the white light really fell nearby, he would probably kill him.

Until this object was only a few hundred meters away from the surface, and Sahara Masahiro could see with his naked eyes that the size of this thing was larger than a pagoda, he realized that it was a bit dangerous for him to stand here, but it was too late for him to run away now.

Almost in the blink of an eye, this huge object emitting white light had landed on the ground.

But what is strange is that when this object landed, it did not make the expected loud noise, nor did it smash huge craters on the ground, causing earthquakes or the like.

It did not slow down the speed at the moment before it fell, but as soon as it touched the ground, it instantly changed from the first cosmic speed to a state of static state, and the movements it made were just like a drop of ink being splashed on paper, very light.

The shrine that originally stood there was crushed and covered by this giant object, turning into a pile of ruins smuggled with the broken ice below, but for some reason the wreckage did not make any sound.

Masahiro Sahara, who was standing in front of the shrine, was not hit by this giant object just now. The edge of the thing was pressed two meters away in front of him. He didn't even feel the vibration or wind pressure at such a close distance.

However, there was something that he could feel quickly...

That is "temperature".

The huge heat that quickly emitted from the giant thing made Sahara Masahiro suddenly come from the severe winter to the midsummer, and he began to sweat a few dozen seconds later.

After these dozens of seconds, the white light emitted from the giant object gradually dimmed. At this time, Sahara Masahiro saw clearly that the "thing falling from the sky" in front of him... was actually a living thing.

This kind of creature is naturally not in Sahara Masahiro's understanding, so when Sahara Masahiro recorded this matter later, he used a series of descriptions that compared with other common things such as "as big as a mountain, body color as lacquer, skin smooth but not shining, muscles plump but not solid, like dragons, like insects but not insects, fish gills, bird wings, animal claws and snake scales, bones outside the skin, internal organs appearing between flesh, eyes are difficult to recognize, and as if they are looking at people", which are inaccurate and difficult to imagine.

In any case, Sahara Masahiro, who saw these strange phenomena at that time, undoubtedly regarded this creature as a "god" who came to hear his prayer.

So, he immediately offered his youngest son as a sacrifice according to the agreement...

What makes the scalp even more numb is that this creature seems to be wise. It actually understands Sahara Masahiro's behavior and accepts this "sacrificial sacrifice".

That night, what Sahara Masahiro did was later called the "first sacrifice".

And this first festival also kicked off the prelude to a terrifying custom that lasted 540 years.

From then on, this method of sacrificing "gods" has evolved to a certain extent and has become a secret technique that only the Sahara clan people know.

The truth about the arrival of the "god" and the many records that the Sahara clan later studied and used... have become secrets within the Sahara clan, and only the heads of the past dynasties are qualified to check it.

As for the people of Sahara, they only need to know the existence of the "gods" and that the Sahara clan is "a clan chosen by God", and then worship, be loyal and grateful to the two... This is enough.

On the second day of the first sacrifice, due to the appearance of the "god", the climate of Sahara's climate changed drastically overnight. The passage to the vassal world, which had been closed for more than a month, returned to the unblocked state in just half a day. The transport team, who had been waiting in the nearby vassal country for many days, received the news and rushed back quickly. In the afternoon of the same day, they delivered the food to the people of Sahara.

The people no longer hunger or were freezing, and the order in the vassal was naturally restored. Then the Sahara clan led the people to collect the dead and recuperate.

Sahara Masahiro saved his vassal state as he wished, and the first thing he did next was to block the "Guihuo" and list it as a forbidden area, and began to compile a very decent story to explain and seek credit to the people under his rule.

On the other hand, he has also begun to prepare for the next sacrifice in twelve years...

Since then, a full five hundred and forty years has passed.

Sahara has had good weather for most of the time after that. Not only did it not suffer any serious natural disasters, but even small earthquakes rarely occurred.

Until...this year of Yuanhe.

This year was the "Year of Sacrifice" and another year when Japan entered a white-hot stage during the Warring States Period.

The current lord of Sahara Kōya is named Sahara Sumwo, which is the man who presented a dragon jade to the "god" at the beginning of this volume.

In recent years, I have led my troops to resist the attacks of the Hexagon Army and Hojo Army several times, relying on home battles and terrain advantages, and the opponent is not the main force... I have successfully repelled the enemy every time.

But winning is winning, but Zong I didn’t feel like a winner. On the contrary, he was still in fear, because after these few fights, Zong I deeply felt that Sahara’s military strength was really too weak.

Compared with those outside forces that have been baptized by many years of war, Sahara's soldiers can only be described as immature; if Sahara's geographical advantage had not made the attacking artillery and cavalry teams unable to play, the Sahara's army would have been defeated in less than a long time.

Even in a simple infantry battle, the Sahara people, whose weapons, armor and physical fitness are not inferior to those of the outside world, are most of them unable to defeat the soldiers of the attacking side in one-on-one, and the gap will intensify when many-to-many.

To put it bluntly, in war, the "elite" thing has never been cultivated, but was produced. It was irrigated with countless blood and life and inherited... and was slowly forged.

On weekdays, it is no problem to guard against the robbers with a small number of people. However, if one pair of regular troops, even the "second army" and "three armies" are a bit stretched.

I also understand that with Sahara's current strength, it should be the limit to be able to survive this year.

When this winter passes and the war is high in the coming spring, as long as a certain daimyo or shogunate army sends a slightly stronger force to attack, I am afraid that Sahara will be destroyed.

The foundation that had been passed down for hundreds of years was about to end in his hands. This pressure was obviously no less than what Sahara Masahiro had suffered back then.

So, earlier this year, Sahara Sect also embarked on the old path of his ancestors - he began to read the ancient documents, in order to seek a way to continue the country beyond normal means.

This search really made him discover some clues...

It turned out that during the "Civilized" period hundreds of years ago, Sahara had encountered a similar crisis; it seems that at that time, the "gods" were always "preventing only natural disasters and ignoring man-made disasters."

The vassal lord at that time simply sought help from the "god" and finally successfully reached some kind of deal with it.

But the result of that transaction was not good. The "Tiancongyun Sword Fragments" found and presented by the vassal lord for some reason had some problems, which aroused the anger of the "god".

This eventually led to an event called "flooding", and there was only such a synonym for the record of this event, and the result of "more than half of the residents died in the event", without any other details.

But no matter what, after the "Flowering Tide" incident, Sahara's foreign enemies retreated for unknown reasons, and even after that, they were never attacked by any forces again.

For the current Sahara Sect, he can only see this in his eyes... As for the "flowering wave", he believes that as long as he is more cautious and does not make the same mistakes as his ancestors in the transaction, he will probably be avoided.

In this way, after some operation, the scene of him presenting the dragon jade about a month ago.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, something will happen next.

I would never have thought that someone would recover an antique from Daze that flowed into his remote small vassal state after many twists and turns.

Moreover, those two visitors have the power to overturn the entire Sahara.
