Xu Xin didn't stay at the lake for long.
Some of the wild animals by the lake were scared away by the crocodiles in the lake. He circled the lake and found that there were no new high-level materials here, so he continued to concentrate on hunting.
Now Xu Xin and Silver King have reached perfection in their cooperation. With the help of the map prompts and Coco's instructions, the positions of the wild beasts are revealed. Those small animals hiding motionlessly in the grass make it easier for Xu Xin, who has a headache with moving targets, to hit them.
His efficiency is unmatched by any other survivor.
Soon, before dark, Xu Xin had hunted eighteen hares, seven wild cats, two wild boars, and several other animals.
He did not provoke the wolf pack for the time being, and mainly took the Silver King to hunt the wolves. He always felt that it would rebel, and it was not an easy task to face a large number of wolves head-on.
Holding a black blood-bladed knife, Xu Xin separated the wild boar's tusks from its body.
The wild boar's tusks were like tofu under the altar knife, and Xu Xin separated them directly without even using any force.
Then his eyes lit up.
[Pig Tusk Offering (Blue): One of the high-level offerings used to offer to the "Gods."]
High-level sacrifice!
But what made him feel a little regretful was that among the two tusks of this wild boar, only one was a blue-grade sacrifice.
This was the third wild boar Xu Xin had hunted. He had also obtained four tusks as sacrifices from the previous two, but they were all green grade.
After dissecting the pig's body and putting it into the backpack, Xu Xin looked up at the sky. At this time, the sunset glow had appeared in the west, indicating that it would soon be dark.
"Go and offer these sacrifices first."
Riding a wolf to the altar, the Silver King still didn't dare to go in. Xu Xin asked it to wait outside the altar, and Coco jumped onto his shoulders.
“Click.”
The moment he stepped onto the altar, Xu Xin heard the slight sound again. This time he heard it more clearly. The sound came from below the ground.
"Is there some mechanism under the altar?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
Walking to the altar, Xu Xin first took out a [rabbit ear offering] and placed it on the altar.
A chill even colder than when he placed the rabbit meat there before emanated from the altar. This time, Xu Xin did not step back, but stared intently at the changes in the altar, while also paying attention to the stone pillar with a rabbit statue on the side.
The patterns around the altar began to move.
Under Xu Xin's gaze, the blood-red patterns did not slowly crawl towards the sacrifice as before, but instead shone brightly and quickly spread to the center of the altar, enveloping the entire sacrifice.
The blood bag deflated within a few seconds. As Xu Xin watched from the corner of his eye, the blood-red color at the bottom of the stone pillar with the rabbit statue quickly spread upwards, and the originally ordinary pattern was stained with blood-red.
Just one sacrifice caused the entire stone pillar to be stained more than 20 centimeters with blood red.
The patterns on the stone altar slowly retreated to the side of the altar and dimmed.
Xu Xin had hunted eighteen wild rabbits, giving him a total of thirty-six [rabbit ear offerings]. He thought for a moment, then placed the remaining thirty-five on top.
The cold wind blew violently, and the blood-red color spread. Soon, all the offerings disappeared, and the stone pillar with the rabbit statue was completely dyed red. Even most of the rabbit statue on the stone pillar was dyed red.
The blood-red patterns densely covered the rabbit statue, which looked very strange and strangely beautiful.
The stone pillars emitted a strong heat. After the coldness of the altar faded away, the heat from the stone pillars came over him, making Xu Xin feel like he was in a sauna.
The patterns on the stone pillars reminded him of the vines in the underworld, vines whose every vine was covered with blood-like patterns.
His eyelids twitched, and Xu Xin had a bad guess in his mind.
"Could it be..." He was a little unsure of his guess.
Seeing that there was still a small part of the statue that had not been dyed red, Xu Xin gritted his teeth, took out all the rabbit meat in his backpack, and placed it on the altar.
The blood-red spread again, this time very slowly. Xu Xin retreated away from the central altar and the stone pillar with the strange rabbit carved on it, his eyes fixed on the last part that had not yet been stained by the blood-red pattern.
On the statue, blood-red patterns slowly spread upwards, and eventually, the entire rabbit statue was covered with patterns.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Coco suddenly became agitated. It pointed its little paws at the rabbit statue on the stone pillar and kept pulling at Xu Xin's clothes.
"Is there danger?" Xu Xin asked, staring at the rabbit statue intently.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded vigorously on his shoulder.
"Damn it! I hope I'm right!" Xu Xin stepped back, directly outside the altar, and to the side of the Silver King, looking at the statue nervously.
A few seconds, dozens of seconds, a minute... Xu Xin held a crossbow in his hand and did not dare to act rashly.
Except for the stone pillar that constantly radiated heat, the inside of the altar was very quiet.
Just when Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and thought nothing would happen, something strange happened.
The blood-red pattern on the entire stone pillar of the rabbit statue suddenly shone brightly. Xu Xin heard the sound of the stone cracking. The blood-red light emanated from the inside of the statue along the pattern, illuminating the entire altar in blood-red.
"Fuck, it's just like that!" Xu Xin cursed inwardly.
He had felt something was amiss ever since he saw the blood-colored patterns on the statue. He had a feeling that when the patterns completely covered the statue, it would be the moment it transformed into a monster.
