other members of the Zhao family... all dead.The only one who could protect Zhao Zinan was Fang Yu.Fang Yu didn't want to break his promise."Master, as a vessel, it will always welcome the moment of...How old is CaiCai this year At that time, an aged voice asked. 。The man fell silent for a moment, then replied: CaiCai is fifteen years old this year. 。It's still three years until I'm an adult. 。A raspy voice said, "I can hardly wait any longer, hehe..."
After that, there was another burst of unpleasant laughter. 。After a while, a man walked out of the small hut's door. 。This man looks to be in his forties or fifties, just like everyone else. 。 。But Fang Yu found that the man's face was very ugly. 。
Men naturally couldn't find Fang Yu and Su Changge 。
The man walked away quickly. 。
Fang Yu's brows furrowed 。The conversation I just heard was quite informative. 。
The most crucial thing... is the time of the sacrificial ceremony. 。8:00 AM tomorrow
Time point, exactly matches. 。Fang Yu glanced at Su Changge, motioning for him to follow behind. 。Then, Fang Yu walked to the front of the hut. 。Neither of them made a sound as they walked. 。Standing at the threshold of the little house, gazing ahead. 。A vague figure can be seen curled up in the blankets. 。This figure looked very small. 。
She should be an extremely old hag. 。Fang Yu thought to himself. 。
Fang Yu did not walk into the hut, but went around it and walked to the back. 。As he listened to the two people talking inside, he noticed that the ground behind the hut was ... 。There is a bump. 。On closer inspection, it was indeed a door, with a pile of straw laid across the top. 。If this door hadn't been left ajar, Fang Yu wouldn't have discovered it. 。
This is a door leading to the cellar. 。Fang Yu slowly opened the door, and then he saw stone steps. 。Afterward, Fang Yu and Su Changge quietly walked down the steps. 。As soon as he stepped into the cellar, Su Changge's face changed. 。A pungent, fishy odor hit me, making me nauseous. 。Su Changge immediately held his breath. 。
Meanwhile, Fang Yu, who was walking in the front, had already furrowed his brow. 。After descending the steps, all that could be seen were corpses and skeletons scattered everywhere. 。
Look further ahead, and you'll see a pool. 。
The pool… was filled with bright red blood. 。A pungent odor was emanating from this pool. 。Above the pool, a corpse was suspended. 。
The body had a distinct cut across its neck. 。
A gash, still dripping blood. 。
This is a man with wide-open eyes, a contorted face, and an expression of profound pain. 。My goodness… Su Changge's face turned pale. 。speechless 。To actually use such a cruel way to bleed!
It's just like treating livestock!
The amount of blood in this pool is already very much, and the color is even a little black. 。
At this point, Fang Yu already understood the meaning of the conversation that had just taken place inside the hut. 。That so-called granny needed to absorb human blood essence to increase her cultivation level... or perhaps extend her lifespan. 。
This is a common tactic used by evil cultivators. 。Based on the tone of those from previous tribes when they mentioned their grandmother... this grandmother clearly held a very high position in the Dazhao tribe. 。A cultist, and yet the tribe leader
Then... what she's doing, do the other members of the tribe know
The man she spoke to before, he must know >>> 。As for the majority of people within the tribe… Fang Yu believed, they should be unaware. 。Otherwise, such a cruel method should be unacceptable to most people. 。At this time, Fang Yu remembered the girl named Cai Cai again. 。This girl, could she also know something
Zila...
As Fang Yu was thinking, he heard a slight sound 。
The sound came from inside the cabin. 。
That old lady is coming out. 。Fang Yu thought for a moment, then left the cellar with Su Changge and closed the door. 。Not long after the two left the cellar, a severely hunchbacked old woman emerged from a small house. 。went back to the cellar again. 。This old woman's face was extremely aged, with wrinkles that almost obscured her features. 。But her narrowed eyes glinted with a cold light. 。
That gaze, it must have been honed through countless acts of slaughter. 。。He and Su Changge returned along the original road. 。As soon as I stepped out of the grove, I saw CaiCai walking towards me. 。Fang Yu immediately stepped forward and covered Cai Cai's mouth. 。
Ooh… Cai Cai’s face turned pale, her eyes widened in terror. She wanted to cry for help, but she couldn't make a sound. 。Although there was nothing in front of him, why...
Fang Yu leaped with CaiCai, leaving the spot. 。... On a branch of a tree, fifty or sixty meters high >>> 。
Fang Yu sat on one side of the branch, Su Changge sat on the other. 。Cai Cai, with a pale face, sat in the middle. 。
Little sister, you just have to answer our questions honestly. 。We will absolutely not lay a hand on you. 。Su Changge smiled and said, 。Seeing Su Changge's smile, Cai Cai's face turned even paler, her delicate body trembling. 。
不。Don't kill me... Cai Cai unconsciously moved away from Su Changge, fear evident in her voice. 。Uh... Su Changge blushed. 。Tell us the location of the ancient sacred tree. 。At this time, Fang Yu spoke. 。Cai Cai turned her head to Fang Yu, shaking her head repeatedly and saying: "I can't let you profane the ancient gods... We only
want to go and take a look" 。Fang Yu said. 。Cai Cai bit her lip and lowered her head. 。 。Do you know any secrets about grandma Fang Yu changed the subject and asked. 。Cai Cai suddenly raised her head, her expression shocked. 。You must have discovered Grandma's secret at some point, right Her cellar... Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, 。Hearing the word "cellar", CaiCai's face turned pale. 。I, I, I... CaiCai's eyes were welling up with tears, she was almost going to cry. 。If you tell me the truth about the situation. 。We may be able to help you. 。Fang Yu said, "As far as I know, you've been targeted by your grandma." 。Cai Cai widened her eyes and stared at Fang Yu, tears streaming down her face. 。
…I wanted to talk to my grandmother about something, but I found she wasn't in the house…Then I went out to find her, and then I found an open hole at the back of the house…Cai Cai said, her voice trembling, I was very curious, so I walked down the steps from the hole entrance. I hadn't taken two steps…and I heard a scream coming from inside.
I peered over and saw a man… also a tourist who had accidentally stumbled into our tribe, dangling upside down above a pool. 。Grandma used a knife to cut his throat, just like killing a chicken... Talking about this, Cai Cai could not say any more, her face was pale, covering her mouth. 。
The rest of your tribe 。Do you know what she's doing Fang Yu asked. 。
...I don't know... 。Cai Cai choked back tears and said, "We only know that Grandma will punish those people, and then that person would never be seen again... Grandma said she sent them away, and we all believed her..."
"I see..." Fang Yu nodded. 。And then I asked, seeing that you all call her Grandma, who is she the grandma of
She...is just called Grandma, since I was born. 。Everyone calls her that. 。Cai Cai said, "Usually, grandma is very kind to everyone, and everyone loves her... She especially loves me..."
After Cai Cai discovered grandma's secret... 。has been in a state of extreme pain and torment 。She really wanted to tell the other adults in the tribe, but she was afraid to. She was scared something worse would happen. 。Moreover, her grandmother has always been very kind to her, which made it even harder for her to make up her mind to expose the truth. 。Your grandma is waiting for you to turn eighteen, that is, until you are an adult. 。Fang Yu said 。
What does that mean CaiCai looked at FangYu and asked. 。
That is... Fang Yu looked at CaiCai's appearance as if she was about to collapse at any moment. The more direct words he had originally prepared went unsaid, and instead he changed his words, saying that she might also want to be detrimental to you. 。Cai Cai lowered her head, twisting her hands together, without speaking. 。By the way, what's the deal with your tribe's sacrificial ceremony Fang Yu asked. 。Every year our tribe holds a ritual... Cai Cai replied. 。
Sacrificing a baby at the same time Fang Yu asked with narrowed eyes. 。
…Well... 。Cai Cai lowered her head and replied softly. 。Damn it... This is too cruel! Doesn't anyone in your tribe resist this kind of practice! Su Changge couldn't help but curse. 。Every year, the infants to be sacrificed are chosen by lottery... Whoever complains will no longer be protected by the ancient gods. 。 。In the blink of an eye.
