Chapter 631 Godless Sacrifice
"It still doesn't work. They won't talk to us at all."
After another failed attempt to strike up a conversation with the residents of the City of Godlessness, Feng Xi shook his head helplessly.
She never thought that this city would be so strange, and the interpersonal relationships were so cold that they were even unwilling to talk to strangers.
Not to mention in the Mountain and Sea Realm, this situation is rarely seen even in other worlds.
"Rather than being unwilling to talk, it's more like they're on guard against something."
Sitting on Feng Xi's shoulder with the same frown on his face, Herbis' voice reached her ears.
"This situation is very abnormal..."
"At least when my real body came here, the situation was not like this."
When Herbis first came to the godless land, although the whole city was very opposed to the belief in gods, the relationship between people was very harmonious.
After all, in a world where gods hold absolute dominance, if people do not help each other, it would be impossible to build such a large city cluster independent of the gods.
In Herbis's impression, the Godless City at that time was a very friendly city.
The occasional crises caused by divine evil have intensified the solidarity and mutual assistance among the residents.
He simply couldn't imagine what had happened to the city to become what it was now.
"I think I may have found something."
At this moment, Yi Hou, looking exhausted, returned to the team and brought some not-so-good news.
"What did you find out?"
Looking at Yihou with some curiosity, Herbis seemed to be a little unconvinced that the other party could find out information that even he himself had not found in such a short time.
"Sacrifice!"
Reaching out to take the kettle handed to him by Feng Xi, Yi Hou tilted his head back and drank it all.
"It's a sacrificial ceremony that started ninety years ago."
"Before the sacrificial rituals, the city was just as you described. Neighbors would help each other and deal with crises together."
"But since ninety years ago, this city has had a special ritual."
"Regardless of race or birth, as long as the biological age is over fifty, a special sacrificial ceremony will be held every ten years."
"If I survive this sacrifice ceremony by chance, I can live another ten years..."
Hearing this, Feng Xi instinctively took over the conversation and asked.
"What if it doesn't pass?"
Trying his best to hide the look of looking at a fool in his eyes, Yi Hou just said calmly.
"It's already been said that this is a sacrificial ceremony. Those who fail will naturally die."
Feng Xi opened his mouth in embarrassment, then he realized how stupid his question was.
"What kind of sacrificial ritual is that?"
Fortunately, Herbis didn't let this awkward atmosphere last long, and took the initiative to break the silence and asked.
“What was the sacrifice?”
“Is the object of the sacrifice to God?”
Shaking his head decisively, Yi Hou replied.
"I don't know. I only found out about this sacrificial ceremony..."
"But what is certain is that since the sacrificial ceremony was held, the Godless City has not suffered any disasters caused by divine evil for a long time."
He couldn't help but shake his wings, and Feng Xi vaguely heard a creepy meaning from it.
As the cemetery of gods, the situation in the Godless Land is extremely complicated, and all kinds of evil caused by the gods are the norm here.
Before coming here, Feng Xi was already prepared to fight against all kinds of evil gods and even the remnants of gods.
However, Yi Hou said that the Godless Land had not suffered from divine disasters for a long time, and that some strange and inexplicable sacrificial rituals had appeared in the Godless City.
The intuition developed from years of fighting in other worlds makes Feng Xi extremely sensitive to danger.
"Why does it sound to me... like someone is raising a Gu?"
It is impossible to think of this as a normal method to prevent the evil gods filled with resentment and anger from disturbing the Godless City.
Anyway, as a standard warrior, Feng Xi's first reaction was that a more powerful evil god must have appeared in the Godless City, which was why those ordinary evil gods were unable to cause any trouble.
Coupled with the unknown sacrificial ritual, Feng Xi had reason to suspect that the gods must have intervened.
“I also find this a little weird…”
Carefully recalling all the details about the Godless City in his mind, Herbis also looked puzzled.
"What's the point of continuing to guess? Why not just go and take a look!"
As soon as Yi Hou said this, Feng Xi and Herbis turned their heads to look at him.
"Isn't it such a coincidence... that the sacrificial ceremony will be held soon?"
He rolled his eyes at Feng Xi and Yi Hou finally couldn't hold back and complained again.
"How can there be such a coincidence in this world?"
"I just found out where the sacrificial ceremony was held."
After being together for such a long time, the filter that Feng Xi had in Yihou's mind at the beginning had long been shattered, and replaced by the image of being lazy, brainless, and somewhat outspoken.
"Ahem, where is the ceremony held?"
Hebis, who had long been accustomed to his role, interrupted Feng Xi and Yi Hou and asked.
"Xiaoli, lead the way!"
Without continuing to joke with Feng Xi, Yi Hou gently patted the ten-tailed dragon carp beside him.
The next second, the ten-tailed dragon carp swung its tail, and its body shape expanded and changed rapidly.
In just less than a breath, the ten-tailed dragon carp turned into a huge monster and floated in the air.
"Your little pet has this ability?"
This is the first time I have seen this kind of transformation in the Ten-tailed Dragon Carp.
Feng Xi was about to say something when he was rolled up by one of the opponent's tails and flew into the air.
Of course, only Feng Xi experienced the treatment of being rolled up.
Yi Hou, who was well prepared, flew up and landed on the head of the dragon carp.
As for Herbis? He never left Feng Xi's shoulder from beginning to end, and he did not show any surprise at the change of the ten-tailed dragon carp.
Whoosh! The ten tails stirred the air, stirring up a strong wind as they puffed and spit...
The ten-tailed dragon carp flew over the city at a speed that was unimaginable for ordinary people, and did not alert the surveillance cameras that were monitoring the entire city.
In fact, the Ten-tailed Dragon Carp can have such an amazing performance not only because of the blessing of Herbis’s divine power.
After all, the Ten-tailed Dragon Carp is at the top of the food chain and is a strange creature that feeds on divine blood.
Therefore, in order to better hunt, the Ten-tailed Dragon Carp not only has the ability to fly in the air, but can also achieve optical invisibility by refracting sunlight.
Everything that is happening right now is just a drop in the bucket of the Ten-tailed Dragon Carp's full capabilities.
