Chapter 60: The Blood-Red Patterned Altar



Xu Xin had seen before on the hills that the statues on these stone pillars had changed.

Is it because the needs of those "gods" are changing?

Xu Xin took his hand off the stone pillar.

He felt that the stone pillar was getting hot, but it didn't seem to be due to the sunlight, because Xu Xin's hand was touching the backlit side of the stone pillar, not the side that was not exposed to the sunlight.

He took a few steps back and looked at the stone pillar in front of him with some caution.

"Hmm?" Coco on my shoulder was a little confused. It didn't feel any danger.

Xu Xin looked at the Silver King beside him and found that the Silver King's body was trembling slightly.

"What's wrong, Silver King? Are you scared?"

"Ouch..." The Silver King let out a weak groan, his voice trembling slightly.

Xu Xin patted Silver King's head and said, "Go outside the altar first."

"Ah!" The Silver King howled after receiving the order, and jumped three or four meters directly out of the altar.

Silver King's strong reaction made Xu Xin himself a little scared.

Xu Xin glanced at Keke on his shoulder: "Aren't you scared, Keke?"

"Hmm." Coco shook her head.

Xu Xin lowered his head and thought.

This is an altar for sacrificing wild animals, and there is a statue of a wolf on one of the stone pillars. It seems that the Silver King is actually a kind of sacrifice. No wonder it is so scared.

Turning his head to look at the stone table in the center of the altar, Xu Xin decided to go and take a look at the stone table.

Xu Xin walked quickly to the stone table. He kept an eye on the changes in the map, but nothing dangerous happened during this period, and no monsters suddenly emerged from the ground. He walked over safely.

This stone table is about half a meter high and very large, as big as a bed, and can easily accommodate several wild boars.

Xu Xin reached out to touch the stone table. Unlike the pillars, this stone table was still extremely cold even under the scorching sun, like an ice cube, making Xu Xin's hand shrink from the cold.

[Altar and Table (Blue): Offering enough sacrifices will gain the attention of the "Gods."]

There's that "god" in quotation marks again. What does this gaze mean?

Xu Xin looked at the statues on the surrounding stone pillars, weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to perform sacrifices according to the requirements of the "gods".

He didn't know what this so-called "god" was, but since it was a sacrifice, he would naturally get something in return. Since ancient times, the purpose of sacrifice was to obtain something from the gods, to ask for something from the gods, and this altar was probably the same.

And the current task is hunting, which is just right for completing the hunting activity while offering sacrifices to the altar.

The four statues are a wild boar, a wolf, a wild cat and a rabbit. Xu Xin hunted wild boars and many rabbits on the way here, but unfortunately, they have all been decomposed by him.

After thinking about it, Xu Xin took out more than ten kilograms of rabbit meat obtained by cutting up those rabbits from his backpack and placed it on the altar.

I don't know if it would work if it was just rabbit meat.

Suddenly, Xu Xin felt the temperature in front of him drop. The stone table exuded a faint coolness. He subconsciously took a step back and clenched the stone spear in his hand.

The changes on the stone table made Xu Xin's eyelids twitch, and he watched everything happening in front of him without blinking.

Under Xu Xin's gaze, the blood-red pattern on the side of the stone table suddenly became brighter. The blood-red color that was originally only on the side of the blood-red pattern actually began to move and spread toward the table.

"Ah!" Coco was startled. She grabbed Xu Xin's shoulders and hid behind him, only showing her little head to look at the altar and altar.

The blood-red patterns did not spread quickly, but there were many of them, like countless blood-like insects crawling from all sides of the table towards the rabbit meat piled high in the middle of the table. Then, an amazing scene happened.

Those blood-red patterns on the table actually crawled directly onto the rabbit meat!

These blood threads are actually alive!

The rabbit meat was slowly covered with blood-red patterns. Under Xu Xin's gaze, the more than ten kilograms of rabbit meat was completely dyed blood-red by the blood-red patterns. Then the bulging blood-red rabbit meat began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, all the rabbit meat disappeared, and the patterns on the rabbit meat fell onto the table, scattered around, returned to the patterns carved on the side, and dimmed.

During this process, Xu Xin didn't dare to breathe, but just held the stone spear in his hand. He wanted to stab the blood-red pattern on the table more than once, but in the end, reason overcame impulse.

The abnormality on the stone table had stopped, and the temperature around Xu Xin gradually rose under the sunlight.

"What the hell is this thing!" Xu Xin felt that this thing was too weird.

He waited for a long time, but the altar just ate his rabbit meat and nothing else happened.

"What's going on? Is there not enough sacrifice?" Xu Xin remembered that the introduction said "enough sacrifices."

"Hmm!" Coco tugged at the leather armor on Xu Xin's body.

Following the direction Coco pointed, Xu Xin looked at the base of the stone pillar with a rabbit carved on it.

He was shocked to discover that the patterned stone pillar, which was ten meters high in total, had a pattern about a few centimeters below it that had been dyed blood red!

"What does this mean? Is this the progress of the sacrifice?" Xu Xin looked at the surrounding stone pillars and found that only the stone pillar below the hare statue was stained red by blood for a few centimeters.

"Does this mean that you want me to dye all four pillars red?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched. This was a big project. The rabbit meat just now was all the meat Xu Xin got from hunting five rabbits, and it was only dyed red for a few centimeters.
