No matter how "sincerely" the clan leader explained, Mu Huan and the others still didn't pick up their chopsticks.
To resolve the awkward situation, Mu Qing had to intervene. "We're all used to fasting and haven't needed food for a long time. If we were to eat now, it would disrupt our practice."
This is of course nonsense. After all, as for Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo, their fighting power is so crazy that they can take care of an entire table by themselves.
After listening to Mu Qing's explanation, even the "simple" and "inexperienced" clan leader stopped believing it. His facial muscles twitched awkwardly, but he was too embarrassed to expose Mu Qing's lame lie, so he could only give up.
Mu Huan covered her face. Sure enough, Mu Qing should avoid lying in the future. She didn't believe the lie and even wanted to laugh. But as Mu Qing's loyal teammate, she absolutely couldn't help but show her support.
"Chief, the dancers of your Sand God tribe are all good at singing and dancing!" In order to ease the awkwardness, Qi Chu, who had been silent all the time, also said something rashly.
Mu Huan's jaw dropped. Are these guys here to mess things up?! "Brother, what dancer can't sing and dance?" They're the ones feeding them, so how could she not be good at singing and dancing? Mu Huan thought she might need a doctor.
"Well, what I mean as your brother is that the Sand God Clan really has a lot of talented people. No wonder. With such an outstanding person like the Clan Leader, the Sand God Clan he leads will naturally be excellent." Mu Huan spoke nonsense seriously without blushing or getting nervous.
Everyone likes to hear good words, and people in high positions are no exception.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Although he knew that the other party was trying his best to save the embarrassing situation, the clan leader was very happy to hear this lie. After all, before a person dies, he had to save some face for the other party.
A hint of ruthlessness and determination flashed across the patriarch's eyes. Their Sand God tribe has been trapped in this ghost place for more than a thousand years. Whether they can break through this invisible barrier depends on this final sacrifice.
The clan leader had specially asked the high priest to examine these people. They were all extremely spiritual and talented young men and women. If they were sacrificed, the Lord God of Sand would surely be very pleased and would surely allow his humble tribe to break free from the confines of the desert.
"This young friend's words are really an exaggeration!"
He was obviously very happy, even though he knew it was fake. Mu Huan curled his lips. This person's vanity was really a strange thing.
"My dear friends, you are not allowed to touch the food, but you can at least taste this wine!" There was a hint of threat in his tone.
There really is no excuse left, so I have to just go ahead and do it.
"Please!" The patriarch made a "please" gesture and drank the first glass.
Mu Huan and the others also pretended to pick up the cups and covered them with their wide sleeves, naturally doing whatever they wanted.
The dancer's slender waist twisted freely on the dance floor, and the musician beside her played soothing and slow music. Everything seemed so comfortable, and people didn't feel the slightest bit of incongruity.
However, as the clan leader toasted again and again, the dancer's twisting frequency seemed to become faster and faster, so fast that people could not see her movements clearly. The music also became faster and faster along with the dancer's movements, which made people feel a headache.
Mu Huan and the others were not affected because they drank on their own. However, the poorer ones who were unable to move on their own were forced to drink the entire time by the maids, and they drank all the wine.
He had already been tricked, and now it was like adding insult to injury.
Seeing Yun Changfeng and the others falling unconscious one after another, Mu Huan and the others also "followed the crowd" and slowly fell on the table.
"Congratulations, Chief. Your wish will be fulfilled soon!" The man was dressed in green, with a fang mask covering his unclear eyes. He looked particularly mysterious. The dancers who had completed their tasks could not help but stay and fall in love with this man.
"Hahahahahaha! We have to thank the High Priest for all this. If the High Priest hadn't predicted that they would come, I wouldn't have been able to capture these prey so easily!" That's right, for the patriarch, Mu Huan and the others were the prey, a group of prey that could fulfill his long-cherished wish.
"But, I wonder which one of us is the person that the high priest wanted at the beginning?" The clan leader's tone was still somewhat respectful. After all, since the first time this man came to the Sand God Clan, his powerful strength had made them eager to capture him as a sacrifice, but they had to suppress their desire.
"I don't ask for much, just her is enough!" The patriarch looked in the direction pointed by the green-clothed priest, and it was the woman who had just praised him so much. She was indeed a very spiritual woman, but it was a pity that the priest had fallen for her.
"Everything meets the requirements of the High Priest!" The patriarch called the servants and prepared to help the girl up and send her to the blue-robed priest.
But before the servant's hand touched Mu Huan, he was blown back by a gust of wind.
The blue-robed priest slowly approached Mu Huan, reached out his hand to help him up, and leaned him into his arms.
It was just that Mu Huan subconsciously struggled slightly, which startled the Qingyi priest, but he laughed it off. He half-hugged her, afraid of angering the little girl and having to comfort her himself.
"Then next, it's time for the clan leader to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and Qingyi will not bother you anymore." Half-hugging Mu Huan, Qingyi prepared to leave.
But he was stopped by the group of dull servants under the patriarch.
A fierce look flashed in Qingyi's eyes, but was replaced by gentleness in a moment. "I wonder what the clan leader means by this?" He couldn't be so quick to destroy the bridge after crossing it. As expected of an old man who had lived for so many years, he really had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Your Excellency the Priest. I just want to ask you for a small favor!" The patriarch smiled happily. His long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled. Soon he would be able to break through this limit and go anywhere he wanted to go. Expanding his territory and restoring the reputation of the Sand God Clan would be just around the corner.
"Qingyi, I wonder what else you can do to help the clan leader?" This old guy is really greedy. He has helped him so much, and the meat is already prepared and delivered to his door, but he still wants to feed it to him.
"The High Priest knows how dangerous the Heavenly Sacrifice Ritual is. It's impossible for me and a few other elders to summon the Sand God unscathed. So, we wanted to borrow a little bit of the High Priest's power to help us this last time."
Even after saying this, the clan leader still had some sense of shame. After all, he felt that he was a bit greedy. But what could he do? As long as it could fulfill his long-cherished wish, he would do anything, no matter how despicable or shameless.
"Oh? Have you forgotten the agreement between the clan leader and Qingyi? Doesn't Qingyi remember promising the clan leader that she would help you start the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky?" Qingyi's eyes were full of ruthlessness. It seemed that the clan leader of the Sand God Clan could not be kept.
"I'm truly sorry. What Qingyi hates most in her life is greed and threats. And it just so happens that the clan leader possesses both."
