Hearing this, Qiao Xi pushed the door open and went out.
Other priestesses also came out one after another.
Yuexi looked at everyone and said in a loud voice: "The day for the election of the candidate saint is getting closer. The saint has ordered that everyone rehearse a "Rice Pounding Dance" together and perform it tonight."
Josh frowned slightly. So fast?
Could it be related to what happened last night?
Yuexi raised her hand and pointed at them: "You, you, and you, all of you, come out."
Several people looked unhappy, and almost all the people who were pointed at were players.
Josh was the first to step out: “Aunt, what do you want me to do?”
Yuexi looked at them coldly and said, "You guys play the role of the corn in the middle and dance the corn dance."
She glanced at the others and said, "Those whose names are not called will dance the Mu Chong roles. Start rehearsing immediately!"
The women dispersed, each with a few priestesses, and practiced on the spot in the yard without any preparation.
Qiao Xi and other players were grouped together. The woman leading them had a very strange look on her face: "Just be happy. The corn dance is the easiest. You just need to stand in the middle and keep smiling."
Is it that simple?
Josh raised his eyebrows slightly, it must not be that simple.
The other players, including Lulu, had very nervous expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they knew some clues but did not intend to tell Josh.
Qiao Xi looked at Yue Xi: "Aunt, why do we have to dance this dance tonight? Does the Saint have any explanation?"
Yuexi looked at her strangely: "What do you want to say?"
Qiao Xi came over and shamelessly took her arm: "Aunt, just tell me, otherwise, if we dance this dance, then I don't have to serve Lord Poseidon at night?"
She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly: "Lord Poseidon appeared in my dream yesterday and asked me to go find him."
When mentioning the Sea God, a trace of fear flashed across Yue Xi's face: "Well, let's put it this way, I'm not sure about what you said, I'll ask the Saint before making a decision."
Josh smiled and nodded.
The monthly interest leaves quickly.
Josh stood nearby and watched them rehearse.
In fact, this so-called rice pounding dance is similar to making glutinous rice cakes.
The person in the middle acts as the glutinous rice cake, standing there without knowing anything and just swaying his body left and right from time to time along with the people circling around the outside.
The people on the periphery circled around the person in the middle, occasionally gathering in the middle, holding hands and moving towards the middle, and then dispersing again.
Circle after circle.
Qiao Xi was watching from the side and felt an inexplicable weird feeling. The people circling around him had strange smiles on their faces.
She couldn't tell what was so strange about these smiles.
Just looking at them, it felt like blood would seep out of their facial features.
Yuexi came back quickly, glanced at Qiao Xi, and looked even weirder: "You have to join the rehearsal, too. Just stand in the middle. Go ahead."
Josh had no choice but to nod.
For some reason, she felt somewhat repulsed by this dance.
There is an instinctive sense of danger.
But there was no way, with so many NPCs watching, she had to join in.
Standing in the middle and watching from the side is another feeling.
Josh looked at the people who gathered together and then dispersed.
These people were fine before, but since they started dancing the rice pounding dance, their expressions gradually began to change.
The eyes of the girls, who should have been lively, gradually became numb, empty, and even had a hint of subtle horror.
Every time they dispersed, they would always look up at the sky, as if they were offering sacrifices and praying to the sky, and when they gathered together, they would look down at the players squatting in the middle, with a horrified look in their eyes, as if blood would ooze out at any time.
And the look in his eyes when he looked at them contained something indescribable...
Josh didn't know how to describe that look.
Not very friendly anyway.
Qiao Xi told Yu Ze about the news and he got a reply quickly.
[We are also starting to get busy here. It seems that there will be some kind of sacrifice in the evening. ]
Josh recalled what happened last night. So many people gathered in front of the saint's house, and the dance was so reminiscent of some kind of dance of blessing and sacrifice.
Did something happen to the saint?
The sky gradually darkened.
The small mountain village shrouded in the night has a unique sense of gloom.
The cold moonlight cast a faint gray-blue hue on the small mountain village, making it seem even less populated.
In front of the ancestral hall is where the villagers live, and a little further ahead is the tourist area.
There were quite a few tourists playing and laughing everywhere, but none of them crossed the restricted line. It might be that they were frightened by the disappearance of a few tourists on their first day.
The ancestral hall is like a watershed lying between the yin and yang sides, with bustling bustle in the front and dead silence in the back.
Yuexi and the women called out all the priestesses.
The priestesses wore bright red clothes and red veils from head to toe. The color was so rich that it seemed as if it was dyed with blood.
The road from the boat house to the middle of the ancestral hall requires passing through a small forest.
Human-shaped red lanterns were hung interspersed among the treetops. From a distance they looked like corpses hanging from the trees. The red lanterns almost dyed the entire forest red, and even the white papers faintly hanging in the treetops were dyed red.
The whole forest looked like a dark painting dripping with bright red blood, and the blood was flowing down the painting continuously.
Yuexi took all the priestesses to the mountain behind the boat house.
The male players from several other teams also received the message and lay in wait nearby.
Qiao Xi touched the tall and strong priestess next to him and said, "Are you ready?"
The people around him remained silent.
The corner of Qiao Xi's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly reached out and pinched him.
A half-dead voice came from the side: "Get ready..."
When Qiao Xi heard the voice, he probably guessed what his expression was and couldn't help but laugh.
She leaned closer and said, "Who made you look so attractive? Why don't you pretend to be a priestess with me and join the team? Do you want to go back and be teased?"
Yu Ze pretended to be dead and didn't want to talk.
He never imagined that there would be a day when he would be raped by someone.
Yesterday he had made an appointment with Qiao Xi to monitor the movements of all parties in the ancestral hall in the middle of the night, but he did not expect that Yun Bing would drug him and force him to have sex with her.
He was so angry that he almost killed the NPC on the spot, but was warned by the system.
Only after hearing Qiao Xi say that something happened over there did Yu Ze barely brake the car and quickly change direction.
He originally thought that the matter was over, but when he finished his busy work of sacrificing today and returned home, Yun Bing, the fearless woman, was actually in his room again, and on his bed.
Yu Ze almost couldn't help but chop the man in half, but was suddenly pulled over by Qiao Xi.
