Chapter 855 Sacrifice

Right now, Ye Qiong is in a primitive dense forest.

At a glance, he could see many wild beasts wandering around him.

Ye Qiong hid in the grass decisively, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

Before entering the reincarnation dungeon, Ye Qiong thought that the background of the original empire and the reincarnation dungeon should take place in a human empire.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that he has understood the wrong direction?

Here he only saw wild beasts, insects, and snakes, and no trace of humans at all.

Could it be that the empire does not refer to the empire of mankind, but to a certain race living here?

Ye Qiong raised his head and looked at the sky. There were many large birds flying in the sky. Summoning the fire dragon would be too eye-catching.

He currently has too little information, so it's better not to act rashly.

He looked around and saw that after the beasts gathered around him left, he decisively emerged from the grass and ran towards the north.

The reason why he ran in this direction was because he saw a huge tree in this direction.

This giant tree is quite tall, and half of its body is submerged in the clouds. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.

Intuition told Ye Qiong that he would definitely be able to find some clues here.

Since Ye Qiong needed to avoid the sight of wild beasts while walking, he walked quite slowly.

While on the road, he tried to observe the surrounding environment and look for traces of civilization.

But unfortunately, he couldn't find anything here. It was obvious that this was a backward primitive jungle, and no civilization was born at all.

It took about an hour or so.

Ye Qiong came to the bottom of the giant tree,

He looked around and didn't find anything.

He raised his head and looked at the huge tree. There seemed to be only one option in front of him.

That is to climb this giant tree and get to the top to see if there is anything hidden here.

After making the decision, he immediately started taking action, using magic runes to summon a fire dragon, riding on the back of the fire dragon, and was about to fly up.

But suddenly he found that no matter how hard the fire dragon flapped its wings, it could not leave the ground and start flying.

Ye Qiong carefully looked at the fire dragon beside him.

There is no problem with the runes on this fire dragon, so the only reason why the fire dragon cannot fly is the surrounding environment.

He looked around and secretly guessed:

"Is it possible that this is a forbidden area?"

Ye Qiong raised his head and took a look. He found that there were no birds flying around the giant tree. This sign was enough to prove his suspicion just now.

Apparently flying is not allowed around giant trees.

If you want to get to the top of the tree, you can only climb up by yourself.

Ye Qiong looked at the towering tree, then at his thin body, and decisively chose to give up.

In this reincarnation, he did not bring any physical enhancement skills. Now he is just a squishy magician. How could he possibly be able to climb such a giant tree that is thousands of meters high?

However, even though he couldn't climb up, there was actually another way to see what was hidden at the top of the tree.

This method is very simple, that is to knock down the giant tree directly and let it fall to the ground.

Now he has the blessing of a scabbard. With infinite magic power, is it not easy to cut off the giant tree?

If you can't do it with one shot of Sunfall, then use ten shots. There will always be a day when you can knock down the giant tree.

But, is this really appropriate?

As I said before, you can tell at a glance that this giant tree is not a mortal thing. If Ye Qiong directly chooses to knock down the giant tree,

Will it offend some mysterious existence?

Although there was a trace of fear in his heart, he was more curious.

If it were in the real world, he would definitely not be so promiscuous, but this is a dungeon of reincarnation.

The price of death was only a mere thousand reincarnation coins. You know, after successfully clearing the dungeon of Fairy Paradise, he got a full fifty thousand reincarnation coins. He could still afford a mere thousand reincarnation coins.

For now, what Ye Qiong wants most urgently is information about this copy of reincarnation. He wants to know if there is anything hidden in this giant tree?

After making the decision, Ye Qiong silently raised his right hand and began to mobilize the magic power in his body, constantly adjusting the structure of the runes in his mind.

In less than a minute, a small sun condensed above his head.

The appearance of the little sun instantly caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.

After completing the spell casting, Ye Qiong gave the order to let the little sun hit the direction of the giant tree. He saw that a collision was about to happen, but the expected explosion did not happen.

The little sun was affected by some mysterious force and stayed less than three centimeters away from the tree.

Immediately afterwards, the magic power contained in the little sun continued to dissipate, as if it was absorbed by some strange force.

About thirty seconds later, the little sun turned into a flame. A breeze blew by and the flame was extinguished.

Ye Qiong, who was watching the entire process, had a look of surprise on his face.

What kind of power does this giant tree contain? It can actually absorb the magic power contained in the sun?

Just when he wanted to continue observing, he suddenly heard the bustling footsteps coming from the surrounding area.

He was very sure that this was not the footsteps of a beast, it sounded more like the sound of human bare feet stepping on the ground?

Ye Qiong was not sure whether the person who came near the giant tree was an enemy or a friend, so he quickly ran behind the giant tree and hid.

He poked his head out and saw a group of savages wearing animal skin skirts.

The leader of this group of savages seemed to be the white-haired old man walking at the front. The old man closed his eyes tightly and came to the vicinity of the giant tree with the help of his tribe.

Ye Qiong did not speak, but silently observed everything in front of him.

Soon, he saw,

This group of savages stayed in front of the giant tree, dancing and talking in some mysterious language.

The carcasses of birds and beasts were placed under the trees,

After seeing this scene, Ye Qiong immediately understood that it seemed that these savages were performing sacrifices.

The sacrificial process was not long. After about half an hour, the savages stopped their strange dance.

The white-haired old man at the head knelt under the giant tree, clasped his hands, and knelt down devoutly, as if the giant tree housed the gods they believed in.

The rest of the tribe also knelt down and muttered words,

Ye Qiong tried to understand what they were saying, but unfortunately, he could not understand the language spoken by the savages at all.

He could only analyze the demeanor of the savages and try to know what they wanted to do.

About ten minutes later, the white-haired old man stood up and looked at the empty front, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

The rest of the tribe sighed unconsciously when they saw this, but there was no disrespect on their faces.

After the white-haired old man said something, the savages turned around and seemed ready to leave.

But at this moment,

Ye Qiong suddenly saw that a sword suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the giant tree.

Although there were some differences in appearance, with the help of the connection between the scabbard and the sword, he could easily recognize the sword's true identity.

Sword of Dawn?

Why does it appear here?

Suddenly, many questions emerged in Ye Qiong's heart. He wanted to step forward and pull out the sword, but when he saw the savages in front of him, he decisively stopped.

He wanted to observe it again to see what was going on.

After the savages saw the sword that suddenly appeared, a look of ecstasy appeared on their faces.

The white-haired old man who led them didn't know what he said to make the savages quiet down. Then he knelt down under the giant tree, as if to thank the giant tree for its gift.

After doing all this, the old man stood up, walked to the sword, and tried to pull it out.

But I don't know if it was because he was too old and not strong enough. He tried several times but was unable to pull out the sword.

Seeing this, the old man called for the youngest and strongest man in the clan and asked him to pull out the long sword stuck in the ground.

The man came to the sword, grabbed the hilt with both hands, and pulled it out hard.

This strong man used all his strength, but the sword never moved at all.

The white-haired old man frowned unconsciously after seeing this scene.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment and directed the savages to come up and draw their swords in turn.

In his opinion, it may not be because the person who drew the sword is not strong enough, but because the person who drew the sword has not been recognized by the sword. I am afraid that only someone who has been recognized can pull out the sword.

After thinking about all this, the white-haired old man asked the tribesmen to take turns to draw the sword, trying to find someone who could be recognized by the sword.

In less than twenty minutes, hundreds of savages gave it a try.

Without exception, they all failed.

No one can pull out this sword.

After seeing this scene, the white-haired old man couldn't help but start to wonder, could his method be wrong? Or is it that there is no one in his tribe who can be recognized by this sword?

Just when he was puzzled, suddenly, a tribesman quickly ran up to him, seeming to be reporting something.

The tribesman pointed to the ground and whispered in the ear of the white-haired old man.

Ye Qiong, who was hiding behind the tree, secretly watched everything happening in front of him. When he saw the footprints of the savage pointing to the ground, he immediately understood what this guy wanted to say.

"Someone was here beforehand."

If they followed the footprints to find it, they would be able to find out immediately that there was a person hiding behind the giant tree.

Obviously, these savages are not stupid;

After noticing the footprints on the ground, I immediately looked for them.

Looking at the savages who were constantly approaching him, Ye Qiong suddenly panicked. He looked around and couldn't find any place to hide.

Ye Qiong mobilized the magic power in his body. If these savages showed hostility, he would rush out from here without hesitation.

The savages were gradually approaching. Their eyesight was extremely good, and they soon spotted Ye Qiong hiding behind the tree.

After they saw Ye Qiong, they all showed surprise. Judging from the appearance alone, they could tell that the person hiding behind the tree was a human child.

But for some reason, they felt that the other party was obviously different from themselves.

With their poor vocabulary, they could only use two words to describe the child in front of them,

clean,

First of all, the clothes. The clothes of this human child were very strange. It could be seen with the naked eye that the workmanship of these clothes was quite fine. With the knowledge they had, they could not tell how such clothes were made.

There was no dirt on the clothes. It was obvious that this human child had just arrived in this forest and had not lived here for long.

The second was the skin. Unlike their yellowish skin, the skin color of this human child was milky white. It was obvious that he had never done any rough work. It was obvious that he had lived a pampered life in the past.

After seeing Ye Qiong's appearance clearly, a strong wild man in the lead obviously associated something bad with him. He looked at him with a slightly hostile look and spoke to him in an incomprehensible language.

Ye Qiong wanted to explain to them that he had no hostility, but he could not understand the other party's language at all. He could only gesture with his hands to indicate that he was just passing by.

But it was obvious that this group of savages had no intention of letting him go so easily.

They dispersed in tacit understanding and blocked all the retreat routes.

Seeing this, Ye Qiong also understood that a big battle was inevitable. After a light sigh, he began to mobilize the magic power in his body and construct magic spells in his mind.

Just as they were about to fight, the white-haired old man who had been watching for a long time finally spoke.

"Stop, Hogg."

The strong man whose name was called turned around and shouted at the white-haired old man:

"But High Priest., this guy is very likely a descendant of the group of winged people"

"I said, stop."

Hearing the high priest's serious words, the man named Hogg had to stop his actions no matter how unwilling he was, and waved his hand to let the other tribesmen stop.

The white-haired old man came over, and it seemed that he wanted to communicate with Ye Qiong.

The guard next to him came over and said:

"High Priest, be careful, I will do this kind of thing for you."

The white-haired old man waved his hand and replied:

"No need, I don't think he is a descendant of those winged people, but a treasure bestowed by the Tree of Life to us."

After that, he walked straight towards the direction where Ye Qiong was. (End of this chapter)
