Chapter 212 Beast City Sacrifice
The next day, when Xia Yueke was sleeping in her room, she heard a commotion outside the door.
Xia Yueke was full of energy and energy today, and her lively personality remained unchanged. She immediately pulled the four of them and walked out excitedly.
Qi An said helplessly: "Keke, I can't go today. I have to go to the cub school. I haven't been there for several days. I can't go on like this."
Luo Cihe: "Keke, Qian Jingyao and I have something to do today."
Qian Jingyao was a little embarrassed, "Keke, I plan to build two more houses in the yard of that house. The big stone house is a bit crowded."
Xia Yueke put her hands on her hips, extremely dissatisfied. "You guys are busy now? Why were you so idle before? Qingyan, are you okay?"
Qing Yan shook his head and chuckled, "I'm free, I'll go, I'll go!"
Xia Yueke pulled Qingyan and went out, but as soon as they went out, they found that the whole street was full of orcs.
There was excitement on their faces and indescribable excitement in their eyes.
"Great! I rushed over from the tribe, and luckily the sacrifice hasn't started yet. I'm so lucky!"
A wolf orc was pulling his partner and was even more excited than his partner.
"Yes, yes. I heard that our city lord will preside over the ceremony himself this year! As long as you participate in this sacrifice, you will definitely be able to have a litter of cubs this year!"
Xia Yueke and Qingyan curiously stopped a passing Deer Tribe orc and asked:
"Brother, what exactly are the benefits of this sacrifice? Why are you all so excited?"
The deer orc's eyes sparkled as he gestured and said:
"Little female, you don't understand! This sacrifice is to pray for blessings from the Beast God. As long as we participate sincerely, the Beast God will surely bless us with good weather and a bountiful hunt. We will never have to worry about food and drink in the future!"
"Furthermore, if single orcs are attracted to each other during the sacrificial ceremony, with the blessing of the Beast God, they will surely become partners smoothly. The couples will also live in harmony and happiness, and it won't be difficult for them to have a few healthy and adorable cubs in their family next year!"
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up as she listened, and she turned to Qingyan and said:
"Let's go and join in the fun."
The two of them surged forward with the crowd, the heat emanating from the surrounding orcs intertwined with the noise.
When they arrived at the sacrificial site, they saw the city lord Long Xiaoyu with his golden mane flying wildly like a burning flame, revealing his innate dominance. His golden eyes were as cold and clear as glass, shining brightly, and looked cold and aloof.
There is a glimmer hidden in the depths of his eyes, and he is so handsome that one cannot help but marvel at him.
Standing in front of the tall altar, dressed in gorgeous clothes, shining in the sunlight, with a wide purple-gold belt around his waist, inlaid with a huge black gem emitting a faint glow, adding a bit of solemnity.
Xia Yueke and Qing Yan squeezed to the front row with the crowd. Xia Yueke looked up curiously. At this moment, Long Xiaoyu seemed to sense something and his eyes swept over like lightning, looking straight into Xia Yueke's eyes.
That gaze was like the deep water of a cold pond, gloomy and profound, with the majesty of someone who had held a high position for a long time. For a moment, Xia Yueke felt as if the air around her had solidified. She subconsciously grabbed Qing Yan's arm, feeling a little scared.
He just paused slightly, then looked away and continued to focus on the sacrifice, as if the eye contact just now was just an unintentional coincidence.
Xia Yueke was truly relieved. What kind of orc was this? Just by looking at him, she felt such pressure that even she, a third-level orc, could hardly breathe.
When the area was filled with orcs, the sacrifice finally began.
The priest next to Long Xiaoyu began to recite an ancient and mysterious spell. He was wearing a black robe embroidered with dark golden runes. As his body swayed, the runes appeared and disappeared, emitting a strange aura.
In his hand he held a carved scepter, the top of which was inlaid with a blue crystal. The crystal shone, as if echoing the rhythm of the spell.
The altar was filled with the heads of various rare and exotic animals, fresh and delicious fruits, and animal skin bags filled with fine wine.
As the priest's spell progressed, wisps of green smoke gradually rose above the sacrifices, like an invisible bond, winding towards the sky, as if to deliver the orcs' prayers to heaven.
The orcs in the audience knelt down reverently, clasped their hands together, muttered something, and their faces were full of solemnity and expectation.
Seeing this, Xia Yueke and Qing Yan hurriedly knelt down like everyone else. Of course, Xia Yueke was just pretending to kneel down, as Qing Yan had already turned his hands into a furry animal shape and placed them under her knees.
Xia Yueke was not honest either. She secretly raised her eyes and looked at the altar. She saw that Long Xiaoyu had his eyes closed at this moment, his golden mane gently blowing in the breeze. He stood tall and straight, as if he was used to such scenes.
Suddenly, a strange light flashed across the sky. The light was colorful and dazzling, like a rainbow bridge across the sky.
When the beastmen saw this, they cried out in surprise, thinking that it was the Beast God appearing.
Then, the light turned into countless spots of light, slowly floating down and sprinkling on every orc, bringing a touch of warmth.
The priests shouted: "Blessings from the Beast God, protect our Beast City!"
There was cheering from the audience and the atmosphere reached a climax.
Xia Yueke was shocked. She had never seen such a magical sight before and she couldn't help but believe in the power of the Beast God.
After the sacrifice was over, the other orcs had already started to wander around. She was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, holding Qingyan's hand and muttering:
"This trip was really worth it. We should participate more often in the future."
Qing Yan hummed twice and started playing with Xia Yueke excitedly.
Here, Xia Yueke was happily picking and choosing, and picked up a bracelet with beautiful patterns and gestured with it.
The stall owner was a kind old orc. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Little female, this is made of rare silver-veined animal hide. It will look great on you. I guarantee you'll like it!"
Xia Yue couldn't let it go, and just as she was about to take out the beast core to buy it, she found that the beast core bag had disappeared.
That’s more than 20 beast cores!
She suddenly panicked and searched everywhere. Qingyan also hurried to help, but they searched her whole body and all the surrounding corners but found nothing.
Just when Xia Yueke was getting extremely anxious, a strong hand handed her a familiar purse. She looked up and saw that it was Long Xiaoyu.
His deep voice rang in my ears: "But are you looking for this?"
Xia Yuke was surprised and delighted. She quickly reached out to take it and thanked him repeatedly.
Long Xiaoyu curled his lips slightly, but his eyes were filled with scrutiny:
"Humph, you lost something right after the sacrifice. Could it be that you were not sincere and that led to this mistake?"
His voice was low and sounded in Xia Yueke's ears like a muffled thunder, which made her freeze instantly. The joy and gratitude in her heart were instantly replaced by astonishment.
