Chapter 14 It Should Be a Sacrifice Li An put down the carving knife and sat back on the sofa...
Li An put down the carving knife and sat back on the sofa.
Her mind was a little blank, probably because it was the first time she had worked continuously for such a long time, and she was in a bit of a sage state.
Whatever guy hasn't come back yet.
Isn't it just a tree root? If you are not conscience enough, you will start digging on the side of the road.
…It doesn’t start with planting trees, does it?
Li An was in deep thought. Li An thought that this was not impossible to happen. Li An sighed.
She was already a little bored.
But I don't want to start detailing the crown or trunk yet.
Just leave it there and start working on it when you come back.
The handcraft shop was quiet, and the handmade works she created when she was alive were placed on the display shelves.
They don't speak, they look ahead.

By sacrificing some of its flesh and blood, the white deer successfully transformed into a giant.
But the sacrifice was meaningful.
Before, it could barely hold up a barrier in front of the gods, but now it can protect itself and Sakori in the center of the gods' struggle.
The black cat was surprisingly silent, and I didn't know what bad things it was planning.
President Lu shook his head.
It has fully understood why Nanxi Harbor has become what it is now a hundred years later.
Old gods, new gods.
Sakori is quite special. He can establish a connection with the gods and may even be able to enhance the power of the gods to a certain extent.
This is why the new gods need her, and also why the old gods must oppose her no matter what.
but……
President Lu hesitated and crossed out his previous guess.
Sakori is definitely not a priest. Her condition and abilities are completely different from what a priest should have.
But it would make sense if she was a sacrifice.
The god only needs her soul and body. The soul is used to amplify his power, and the body is used to carry the projection of the god and serve as his shell when walking in the world.
As for the old gods, Bai Lu had actually seen them a long time ago.
You know, His body is still in Bai Lu's hands.
Every kingdom in this world has at least one god.
Except for the relatively peaceful gods, the rest always have to fight to decide life or death.
After all, no one can bring down a god except another god.
This is also the biggest disagreement between the Secret Mark Society and the rebels.
The Secret Rune Society believes that now they should try to cross the barrier of the gods and contact the outside world in order to seek cooperation with another god.
But the rebels thought, what difference does welcoming a new god make from the previous one? Will they pray that this new god is a good one?
Even so, the rebels had no better solution, after all, humans could not kill gods.
They are high and mighty, their majesty cannot be offended, and their power is unstoppable.
The white deer let out a cry, driving away the investigator who had been scraping its hooves.
It thought that it was in this battle that the new god defeated the old god, became the new ruler of the kingdom, and became the new master of the tower.
It has to help the old gods and reverse the past fate in order to escape from the longing.
Fortunately, this is just a reflection of God, not the real God coming.
Otherwise, Bai Lu would have run away with Sakri long ago. The fact that he was able to escape would make him the strongest secret pattern user in the world.
Bai Lu was still struggling hard, trying to find a way to survive, and the two students had no time to communicate.
The black cat suddenly laughed.
"Are you ready?"
What preparations?
Bai Lu, who had already begun to ptsd about the black cat's laughter - if Bai Lu knew this word, he would definitely use it to describe it - became alert.
It soon discovered.
In other words, all the outsiders who were still awake during the whole thought discovered it.
On the turbulent sea, the thing emerged from the deep sea, shining brightly like a star descending to the earth.
The beauty is beyond the limits of human imagination. In front of it, human words become pale. No word of magnificence or splendor is enough to describe its full appearance.
The most beautiful and powerful thing in the world.
--"root"
President Lu was certain that this was the thing he saw that year.
It lived in poverty and was in great distress back then. Even though it knew the situation in Nanxi Harbor was unpredictable, it still sneaked into the harbor just before dawn.
It didn't have any big ambitions at that time, it just wanted to come in and see if there was anything to eat.
But before dawn, it saw the last scene before the god's death and the vague shadow of the tree roots.
That was the first time it felt God's majesty so directly, even though He seemed about to die in the next second.

At this moment, beyond thoughts, the dispute in the dark has already begun.
In the eight hours after their collective disappearance, several forces had fought several rounds, competing with each other, fighting openly and secretly, just for the current ownership of Nanxi Harbor.
Many people who are not at a high enough level are quite baffling.
What's the point of taking over such a barren forbidden zone?
Kash also felt a little strange.
That damn place had been deserted for a hundred years, but now it has suddenly become a hot spot.
He rode at full speed all the way and was finally about to arrive at Nanxi Harbor.
A new order came from headquarters, asking him to go to a certain coordinate because the energy value peak there had increased significantly again.
The energy peak in that damn place actually still has room to rise.
As for Sakori, the headquarters said that she should just do her best, after all, the one standing on her side was a true god.
The rebels do not yet have the power to compete with God.
I don’t know how far that guy is. Based on Sakeri’s physical fitness, Jiashi calculated her speed and felt that she should be later than him, but not by much.
After all, we have to consider the fact that the whole world is helping her.
Jiashi entered Nanxi Harbor and headed towards the coordinate point.
At the same time, Sakeli emerged from the dense forest covered in dust and finally saw the dawn of Nanxi Harbor.
If she appeared in front of Li An, she would probably look like a dusty gray rabbit.
There were few clean spots on her clothes, but her hands and face were relatively clean because they could be washed by running water. Not to mention other things. She used her backpack as a cushion, and her hat as a shelter from the wind and rain, bearing everything it shouldn't have to bear.
Sarkori stumbled out of the bushes.
Ahead is Nanxi Harbor, the legendary restricted area. There is not a single person to be seen within hundreds of miles around it, and it is only more desolate inside.
It is said that mysterious phenomena can be seen everywhere, and reflections of gods are not uncommon.
Sakeli took a sip of water and broke off half a biscuit and ate it.
The cookies were dry, hard, and difficult to chew and eat.
She had never suffered more in her life than she had in these few days of traveling. She was afraid to take any means of transportation for fear of being caught in a trap by the tower.
She stamped her feet, and when the blisters on her feet felt less painful, she continued forward.
She has to help Xingxing get the tree roots.
Having said that, but...
Are there really trees in such a desolate place with no people? Not to mention tree roots, where would one dig them up?
*
The dagger pierced through the scarlet cloak, and the metal tip emerged from the other end of the body.
The blood flowed out, and there was no change in color.
The cloak had long been completely covered in blood, and the fishy smell could be smelled from a long distance away.
Ke Jinzhu had no expression on his face. He lifted up the hood and took a look. Sure enough, this was also a body engraved with secret patterns.
She thought the one caught last year was an exception... or at least it was an exception last year, and this year, the Tower has basically completed the secret pattern transformation of the Investigator.
Haha, this disgusting style is not surprising.
She swung the dagger, and blood drew an arc and left the dagger.
She was always very fast. With a twist of her wrist she could put the dagger into her sleeve, so fast that you couldn't see her movements clearly.
Ever since Ke Jinzhu discovered that team of investigators, he has been hunting them in secret and defeating them one by one.
Unfortunately, there was no chance of capturing any prisoners. Even if she didn't kill him, he would soon self-destruct.
Ke Jinzhu was almost blown half to death.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. I was still able to run, jump and use the dagger, so the loss was not too great.
With just a dagger, Ke Jinzhu is enough to be a hunter in the dark. He observes for a long time, waits patiently, and then strikes with a deadly move, taking the life of an investigator.
She had killed five investigators, and she had never seen the rest again, probably because they were dealt with by others.
But one person is definitely still alive.
The team leader.
Ke Jinzhu tore a piece of cloth to use as a bandage for himself, and then searched the investigator's body, picking out the equipment and putting it on his body.
She was ready to go back and look for the others. As for the war between the gods...
She is very self-aware.
Although Ke Jinzhu is very proficient in the application of secret pattern equipment, his understanding of the essence of secret patterns is far inferior to those who specialize in research.
She had never officially joined the secret pattern field.
I should find the deputy director of the Secret Mark Department and ask him if I can help. Otherwise, joining the battlefield hastily will only make President Lu more restricted.
As a result, before finding his teammates, he found Gash first.
Ke Jinzhu pulled the man into a hidden place.
"Why are you here too? Didn't I ask you to escort Sakori?"
Jiashi shrugged and said, "Here's what happened... Boss, let me explain first."
He sent Sakori away and set out alone with a map. He condensed the divine help and successfully got a cold glance from the boss.
Ke Jinzhu knew that now was not the time to talk about punishment. No matter how big the problem was, he had to go back alive first.
She took a deep breath and decided not to hold Jiashi responsible for the situation. "So she hasn't come in yet, but she will be soon."
Jiashi nodded weakly, that's right.
"Okay, I understand."
Things became even more complicated. If you carefully consider the cause and effect of this incident, it was not even entirely Kash's responsibility.
If it was that god who ordered Sakori to go to Nanxi Harbor, then he was lucky to just get rid of Jiash. After all, killing him was a more direct way.
Ke Jinzhu exhaled, "Do you see that side of the pier?"
Gash nodded.
"How can I help?"
"Stay away from that."
"Find all your teammates, whether they're dead or alive."
Ke Jinzhu knew that this operation would result in heavy losses. Although this was foreseeable and everyone had even written a will before setting off, she still wanted to be responsible for all her teammates.
Even if someone dies, they should at least take one relic with them to give an explanation to their relatives and friends.
At the dock, the space slowly twisted, and after the familiar spatial fluctuations, the door opened again.
Sakeli, covered in dust, walked in from outside.
Ke Jinzhu saw her.
But at the same time, he also saw the god's gaze suddenly lowered.
