Scene 298 Living Sacrifice Ceremony in the Valley

"No need," Frofa replied coldly: "You'd better not play tricks, otherwise you will definitely face more than just our anger."

"Haha," Arkanto smiled nonchalantly: "Of course, Miss Frofa, success is king or defeat, in our world of demons, everything is based on strength. Now you represent the supreme master. Will, I also have to surrender to you, this is not a big deal in our opinion."

"Hmph." Frofa was noncommittal about Akentu's statement, and of course he would not be stupid enough to believe him. She did not lower her guard at all, but she also took a few steps closer to Fang Qi, planning to carry him into the realm of stagnation and give it a try.

"You stay here, Akentu," she said: "That human will find here soon. You must stop him. This is the order of Lord Dusk Dragon."

"I see--"

"You'd better really understand that when this matter comes to an end, adults will consider your seal."

"...You must understand one thing. Your life and mine are given by adults. This trivial matter is not worth mentioning to adults. Moreover, the seal here surrounds the stagnant realm. When the stagnant realm is Under the master’s control, do you think the seal itself will be stable?”

Akentu's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly: "Ah, of course I understand this. I didn't think well enough, Miss Frofa. I will give that damn human a good look, but I'm afraid I'm not his." Opponent, after all, most of my strength is now contained within the seal..."

"It doesn't matter," Frofa glanced at this guy: "You just need to 'try your best.'" She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "try your best."

Of course, Frofa didn't expect this demon lord to really go all out. For these selfish and cunning creatures, they could only cause a little trouble for the human being.

certainly. That was enough for her.

Sure enough, Akentu agreed without hesitation, but there was obviously no sincerity in the expressions of the two of them. Frofa knew what the other person was thinking. After confirming that the other party at least did not dare to cause trouble in the master's plan, he and the others walked towards the crystal ball in the center of the valley.

It seems like what this high-level demon lord said. The entrance to the Stasis Realm did not reject them as before. Frofa slowly approached the beautiful sphere suspended in mid-air and carefully placed his hand on it.

But nothing happened next. She only felt the cold temperature from her palms.

"Bring him here."

She ordered to her companions.

Immediately, someone came over dragging a piece of wood-like Fang Qi. The tall dragon, who looked like a member of the Blue Dragon or Qinglong lineage, grabbed Fang Qi's right hand and pressed it on On the crystal ball.

And it was at this moment that a miracle happened.

The entire crystal ball suspended in mid-air became obviously brighter. The scenes that were originally in the crystal ball emerged and were suspended outside the crystal ball - and Fang Qi's hand was passing through these scenes and disappeared at the other end.

"This is a portal, yes." The blue dragon nodded to Frofa.

"Take his hand back."

The blue dragon did as he was told, then looked up at the changes in the crystal ball. After confirming that nothing had changed, he said: "The portal is in a maintained state."

"You go in first, Hatsiloa. If you can come back, we will wait for you for five minutes."

"This should be a one-way portal. Its exit shouldn't be here, Frofa."

"It doesn't matter," Frofa replied nonchalantly, "just to be on the safe side."

The blue dragon nodded. He jumped into the portal on the surface of the crystal ball. After the scene on the surface of the crystal ball shook for a while, it regained its calm.

"Can you come back, Hatsiloa?" Frofa asked.

But there was apparently no response from the other side of the crystal ball.

"How is this going?"

Frofa looked back at Arkanto, and the Lord of Purgatory only responded with a slight smile.

"As you can see, Miss Frofa, this is a one-way portal. You dragons must understand this kind of law better than we do. You can't expect sound to penetrate the distance between two planes. Only those who don't understand Would a legal person based on the principle of time and space think that the distance between the two sections of the portal is only a few millimeters?"

Frofa knew that she would not get the real answer, but she also understood that at this moment, she could only choose to believe in this hateful 'alliance'.

Good thing she at least understands. At least the other party dare not betray their common master.

She turned her gaze back and entered the portal.

Arkentu watched silently as the last dragon entered the portal. When he was sure that there was no outsider in the valley, the demon lord let out a sigh of relief.

"Stupid lizard," it grinned and said with a weird smile: "Without me, you think you can enter the realm of stagnation alone? What a wishful thinking. Ha, I wish you a happy journey!"

After saying that, the high-level demon looked around carefully, as if he was afraid that his words would be leaked, and then the clone gradually disappeared into the valley.

…

Brando looked at the corpses lying in front of him - these people were wearing typical black missionary robes, with red piping embroidered on the cuffs and corners of the robes, and sheep's head-shaped pins on the collars - it was obvious that these people They are all Yang-headed believers, and they are not ordinary believers. They belong to the core of this sect and are the upper-level figures of the Yang-headed religion.

This place is in a valley, and the corpses of hundreds of Yangshou believers are piled up in layers at the bottom of the valley. Huang Huo and Mr. Liu discovered several traces of sacrificial rituals. The scene was in a mess, with blood flowing. into a river.

Obviously, most of these people died of suicide: the sheep-headed cultists used a hook-shaped dagger to stab the blade diagonally into the heart from five points below the throat. The venom on the blade will be in their nerve venom. They maintain their consciousness until their blood dries out. It is said that in such a death, mortals will experience the most terrible pain in the world.

Pain is the devil's nourishment, as is the fear and regret that accompanies it. Only such a method of death can maximize the significance of the living sacrifice, and this is a 'noble' act of martyrdom in the core teachings of the Sheep Head Religion.

However, Brando understands that this kind of martyrdom activity is often rarely seen in the upper echelons of cult churches, because even demons need capable assistants. Of course, they cannot let their confidants who have finally cultivated become living sacrifices. .

Anyway, whether they are Black Fire Cultists, Sheep Head Cultists or the Silver Serpents operating in the south of the White Mountains, all cultists who are involved with demons include middle- and lower-class believers, as well as the innocent lives they plunder. Some were living sacrifices.

But there are always exceptions to everything. When the devil needs it, even the highest-ranking Sheephead cultists will sacrifice their lives for their master without hesitation.

Just like right now.

Although Brando did not have time to stay here for a long time, he could see where he could see that almost all of the people who died here were middle- and upper-class members of the Sheep-Headed Cultists - these people should have been brought here by Akentu It seems that the Lord of Purgatory is in desperate need of living sacrifices to gain strength, even at the expense of his own henchmen.

"Have you found any survivors?" He turned around and asked the prime minister Qianjin who came from a distance: "It is impossible for everyone to be martyred in such a large-scale sacrificial activity. There will always be some people who stay to check whether there are any fishermen and fishermen in troubled waters. Execute those cowards who have no courage. And the person conducting the ceremony cannot be dead, they must be nearby."

"It's difficult," Aloz replied from the side: "These people may have run away long ago. Besides, if Frofa and the others passed by here, it is unlikely that they would be left alive."

"Miss Frofa and the others should have passed through this valley from the sky. The valley has been concealed by magic. Without paying attention, it is difficult to find out that there is another mystery below." Brando replied: "There are only dead people here. For The undead in Madara have the most sensitive sense of smell of the dead, but there are no undead here, only living creatures can easily attract their attention."

Aloz shut her mouth when she heard this. She understood that Brando was right. If they had not relied on Delphine to find their way, they had to move between the valleys, otherwise they would not have discovered the valley here.

Akentu set up a scene of a living sacrifice ceremony on this ultimate road, which obviously had a purpose.

"I think we should catch up faster," the little female dragon said anxiously: "Instead of looking for the reason here, Akentu may use these people to create the mental fog that deceives our perception, don't you also Have you ever told me, Brando, that demons need the power of living sacrifices to create spiritual fog."

"But it doesn't need so much," Brando replied: "Arkentu has sacrificed so many high-level believers. I'm curious why it urgently needs such a huge power?"

"That's why we should hurry up," Aloz said with a frown, "otherwise I doubt that guy Fang Qi will be alive to see us."

Brando shook his head silently after hearing this.

He slowly passed through the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​bones, looking towards the other end of the valley. He felt from the beginning that this matter was not that simple, and this feeling became even stronger at this moment. A good game player always instinctively trusts his own intuition, and naturally he does the same.

Not to mention, both the experience in the elemental realm and Arkanto's strange whereabouts all prove this. This demon obviously has other intentions.
