Chapter 95 Sacrifice

"I don't know either."

When Xiang Xiaojiu heard this, he wanted to slap himself.

What was her vision back then that made her choose such a useless man?

It's already this late and you still can't make up your mind.

Finally, Xiaojiu made the decision herself. She said, "Let's run!"

He immediately went into the house, packed his bags, called Yu Xia, and prepared to run away. However, he was discovered before he even left the house.

It was not until then that Xiang Xiaojiu realized that it was not that the other families did not want to run away, but that they failed.

Xiang Xiaojiu’s son was directly “kidnapped” away.

Xiang Xiaojiu burst into tears and could only watch her son being dragged away. Before being dragged away, Xiang Xiaojiu only had time to take off the bracelet on her hand and put it on her young son's wrist.

She asked her son to wear it, as it was the last thing she would give him.

Yu Xia, who was already ten years old, knew what this meant and burst into tears: "Mother... Mother..."

He shouted at the top of his lungs, but unfortunately, no one returned him to his mother.

Xiang Xiaojiu glared at his uncle and his sister-in-law's family in the corner with red eyes, wishing he could kill them. She has made up her mind. If she doesn't live well, no one else will live well either.

Isn't it going to push her son out as a sacrifice?

OK!

At worst, we can all die together.

…

Yu Xia was tied up with ropes, a handkerchief was stuffed in her mouth, and she was carried to the altar like a pig.

The messenger of God Kong Zeyu was wearing a white sacrificial robe, holding a stick of incense, and performing a ritual dance on it.

Although he is said to be a messenger of God, in fact Kong Zeyu was just forced to be the evil god because he had an uncle who was the village chief.

Don’t think that all the evil god’s messengers are powerful. Just like the messengers of the two-headed snake god who were a bit weak, Kong Zeyu is also a bit “weak”. If his uncle had not reached an agreement with the evil god, he would not have been able to become a messenger of God.

Kong Zeyu is not like the messengers of the two-headed snake god who bully men and women and have bad behavior, but he is not a good person either. It's not uncommon to see people taking money and opening backdoors for others.

Originally, the child of the Yu family was to be drawn in this "lottery", but because the Yu family spent money, it was changed to the child of the Yu second family.

Kong Zeyu didn’t care whose family it was. He took the money and guaranteed the “sacrifice”, killing two birds with one stone.

Because it is an evil god, monsters usually appear after dark, so the time for the sacrifice is chosen in the evening.

As the sky darkened, a cold wind began to blow. The chilly breath spread in the air like a substance.

The last ray of sunlight was completely swallowed up by the darkness, and the entire sacrificial site was instantly shrouded in darkness as thick as ink.

The originally quiet surroundings were now filled with strange rustling sounds, as if a pair of large feet were caressing dead branches and leaves.

In the darkness, a pair of green eyes appeared and disappeared, like ghost lights floating around. It was a long-dormant monster slowly approaching.

Its breathing was heavy and rough, accompanied by waves of foul smell, as if it was a demon emerging from the abyss of hell.

On the altar, the flickering candlelight flickered in the wind, illuminating the strange statue dedicated to the evil god.

The lion head of the statue has a distorted and ferocious expression, as if it is roaring silently, or as if it is greedily waiting for the upcoming sacrifice.

Kong Zeyu, who was in charge of the sacrifice, was dressed in a white robe with strange runes on his face. He looked like a walking corpse in the dim light. In his hand he held a rusty dagger, the blade still seemed to contain blood from past sacrifices, and it shone a chilling dark red under the candlelight.

The crowd began to get restless, but dared not make too much noise and could only tremble in fear.

The children clung to the adults' clothes tightly, their little faces were pale and their eyes were filled with tears of fear.

The adults were not much better off. Their legs were weak and their teeth were chattering, as if they would be swallowed up by this endless terror in the next moment.

Suddenly, a piercing roar pierced the night sky, and a huge figure appeared on the altar - a bone-eating demon lion, a huge and terrifying monster.

It is as big as a mountain, as tall as two houses, and is covered with messy and rough black mane. Each hair stands upright like a steel needle, and gleams a cold luster in the dim light.

Its head was huge and ferocious, with sharp teeth in its bloody mouth and disgusting mucus flowing from the tips of its teeth, as if it had just bitten countless creatures.

A pair of eyes as big as copper bells, emitting a blood-red murderous light, stared at the people in the audience, as if examining a lamb to be slaughtered.

With every breath, a strong stench emanated from the nose, making the surrounding air seem distorted.

Its limbs were thick and powerful, and its claws were like iron hooks, deeply embedded in the stone slabs of the altar, scratching deep grooves on the hard stone surface and making a sharp sound that made one's teeth ache.

With its appearance, the temperature of the entire sacrificial site seemed to drop sharply in an instant, and the terrifying pressure spread out in all directions like a substance, making it almost impossible for everyone to breathe.

Kong Zeyu also shuddered all over, and quickly knelt down with a plop. He raised the dagger above his head with both hands, and said respectfully and tremblingly: "Master Shen Lion, please enjoy your sacrifice——"

…

Its eyes fell on Yu Xia in the cage, and its scarlet pupils made Yu Xia tremble.

"Mmmm..." Don't come over here!

He moved his hips and legs, trying hard to hide backwards, but unfortunately, he was stuck on the pillar of the altar, where could he hide?

Saliva flowed out of the big mouth of the bone-eating demon lion. The smelly liquid fell on the stone slab and actually had some corrosive effect.

It slowly approached Yu Xia.

However, just as it was getting closer and its nose was about to smell Yu Xia's face, a golden light bounced out from Yu Xia's body.

In an instant, the bone-eating demon lion was forced to retreat a few steps.

The bone-eating demon lion was shocked and felt a powerful and terrifying aura.

Its pupils were fixed on Yu Xia, with some suspicion: Isn't this the offering given to me by humans? Why is there another powerful aura here?

It was obvious that Yu Xia was marked by the other party and no one was allowed to touch her.

The bone-eating demon lion was furious; it felt deceived.

Is this the sacrifice you agreed on?

As long as it protects the village and prevents other monsters from coming here to hunt, they will offer a "sacrifice" every month. They actually took the "sacrifice" marked by others to deceive it. How despicable!

It would have two "sacrifices" in other villages, but this village was too small, so it only accepted one. They actually deceived itself like this, so it wanted to teach them a lesson.

"ah……"

The bone-eating demon lion roared loudly, blowing the crowd near the altar all over the place.

With a light leap, he jumped onto Kong Zeyu and angrily pressed him to the ground with one claw.

Kong Zeyu screamed in pain: "Please spare my life, Lord Shenshi!"
