The village chief's expression also turned a little cold. He actually didn't understand why there were suddenly more monsters recently.
Some people nearby have started whispering, and the voices, which are low at first, are getting louder and louder.
Without exception, they all complained about the mountain gods they had previously worshipped.
"Is the mountain god any use at all?"
"If not, let's just get out of here right away, right?"
“More and more people are dying.”
The village chief looked around at the faces of the villagers around him and couldn't help but sigh, "Enough, no talking nonsense about the mountain god!"
"If anyone wants to leave, they can leave the village now and leave here."
After these words were spoken, the villagers looked at each other and no longer mentioned leaving.
Because they worshipped the mountain god, they didn't really worry about monsters before, and they were even a little used to it.
As long as the mountain god is here this time, those monsters will still die.
At that time, they didn't know that the mountain god they had been worshipping had moved away from their residence and had never come to visit them since then.
It turns out that slaughter would help them, perhaps because they have been too lonely for thousands of years.
He regarded those spirits as food, so they avoided him and no spirit ever spoke to him.
When the villagers at the foot of the mountain came to offer sacrifices, Tu Lu was initially curious because he didn't understand what they were doing.
After a while, he realized that they were sending things to him.
Tu Lu's life was too long. Apart from constantly expanding the cave, eating and sleeping, there was nothing much to do.
The day of the sacrifice was when he saw the most people.
He sees it as an act of exchange that adds a bit of fun to life.
But after meeting Liu Yin, this kind of thing seemed to have no meaning anymore.
Liuyin didn't want him to have any contact with those weak people at the foot of the mountain. Even though she didn't know the reason, Tu Lu would never refuse her.
Without any hesitation, he abandoned that group of people, and even afterwards, he never thought about them again.
So, without the villagers knowing, the mountain god they had worshipped for so long had already forgotten them.
The village chief was an elderly man, his skin tanned from years of hard work, and he was thin and skinny, but he looked very energetic, with gleam in his eyes.
He looked at the villagers around him, and his eyes finally fell on a young girl.
The little girl held her brother's hand tightly, her eyes filled with timidity, not daring to look at the bloody scene on the ground.
But there was no other way, she had to come out and take a look, because she had only a sick mother at home.
"Chun Ya, this time, you and your brother will be in charge of the sacrifice and blessing."
The little girl's face lit up with joy, and her tone was very surprised. "Really, Village Chief?"
"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?"
The village chief looked at the two pale and skinny little faces with satisfaction. They were so thin and pitiful, they must be able to pray for immortality.
However, this only works if both of them can survive to that time.
Then the village chief's gaze fell on the man who had complained loudly earlier, "You should also come with us when we pray for blessings this time."
The tears in the man's eyes suddenly stopped. He felt surprised, but also a little uneasy in his heart.
"But before, I was against the mountain god..."
"It's okay, the mountain god will not blame you." The village chief comforted him softly.
"I know that during this period, the monsters suddenly attacked and no one was prepared, but since the sacrifice is approaching, we need to hold on for a while longer."
As the elderly village chief said this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Longevity, what a wonderful thing.
When he was young, he was the village chief and could fairly and selflessly allocate villagers to go up the mountain to pray for blessings, but he is old now and he doesn't want to die.
He has been avoiding monsters for so many years and has won over many people. He doesn't want to die an ordinary life.
He was the one who conducted the annual sacrifices and granted immortality to the mountain god, and there had been some speculation.
This time, he must achieve immortality.
