Chapter 1079: Evil Cultivation Path

"How old is Caicai this year?" asked the old voice at this time.

The man was silent for a while, and replied: "Caicai is fifteen years old this year."

"There are still three years before she becomes an adult." The old voice said, "I can't wait any longer, hehe..."

Then, there was another ugly laugh.

After a while, a man walked out of the door of the hut.

The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, and like the others, he was wearing clothes woven from leaves.

But Fang Yu found that the man's face looked very bad.

The man naturally couldn't find Fang Yu and Su Changge.

Soon, the man walked away.

Fang Yu frowned.

The conversation just heard contained a lot of information.

The most critical thing... is the time of the sacrificial ceremony.

Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.

The time point is exactly right.

Fang Yu glanced at Su Changge and motioned him to follow behind.

Then, Fang Yu walked to the front of the hut.

Neither of them made any footsteps.

Standing in front of the door of the hut, looking forward, you can vaguely see a figure curled up in the quilt.

This figure looks very small.

"It should be an extremely old woman." Fang Yu thought.

Fang Yu did not enter the hut, but walked around the hut and went to the back.

While listening to the conversation between the two people in the house, he found that there was a raised area on the ground behind the hut.

When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed a door with a pile of straw on it.

If this door had not been closed properly, Fang Yu would not have found it.

This is a door leading to the cellar.

Fang Yu slowly opened the door, and then saw the stone steps.

Then, Fang Yu and Su Changge walked down the steps quietly.

As soon as they entered the cellar, Su Changge's face changed.

A fishy smell hit them in the face, making people sick.

Su Changge immediately held his breath.

Fang Yu, who was walking in front, had already frowned.

After coming down from the steps, all he could see were mummies and skeletons, lying in disorder everywhere.

Looking forward, he could see a pool.

The pool... was full of bright red blood.

The foul smell emanated from this pool.

A corpse was hanging above the pool.

This corpse had an obvious crack on its neck.

Blood was still dripping from the crack.

This was a man, his eyes were wide open, his face was twisted, and full of pain.

"My God..." Su Changge's face turned blue and he couldn't speak.

They actually used such a cruel way to bleed!

It was like treating livestock!

The amount of blood in this pool was already very large, and the color was even a little black.

At this time, Fang Yu had already understood the meaning of the conversation in the hut just now.

The so-called grandma needed to absorb the essence of the human body to improve her cultivation... or increase her lifespan.

This was a common method used by evil cultivators.

According to the tone of the people in the tribe when they mentioned grandma before... this grandma obviously had a very high status in the Dazhao tribe.

An evil cultivator was actually the leader of the tribe?

So... did the other people in the tribe know what she was doing?

The man who talked to her before must know.

As for most people in the tribe... Fang Yu thought that they probably didn't know.

Otherwise, few people would be able to accept such a cruel method.

At this time, Fang Yu thought of the girl named Cai Cai again.

Does this girl also know something?

"Zila..."

While thinking, Fang Yu heard a slight sound.

The sound came from the hut.

That grandma is coming out.

Fang Yu thought about it, and then left the cellar with Su Changge and closed the door.

Not long after the two left the cellar, an old woman with a severe hunchback walked out of the small house and walked towards the cellar.

The old woman had an extremely old face, and the wrinkles on her face almost covered her facial features.

But her squinting eyes were full of cold light.

This look must have been developed through many killings.

Fang Yu thought about it and decided not to attack the old woman first.

He and Su Changge returned along the original path.

As soon as they walked out of the grove, they saw Cai Cai coming towards them.

Fang Yu immediately stepped forward and covered Cai Cai's mouth.

"Woo..." Cai Cai's face changed drastically, her eyes were terrified, she wanted to ask for help, but she couldn't make a sound.

There was nothing in front of her, why...

Fang Yu took Cai Cai and jumped away from the spot.

...

On the branch of a tree about 50 to 60 meters high.

Fang Yu sat on one side of the branch, and Su Changge sat on the other side.

Cai Cai, with a pale face, sat in the middle.

"Little sister, as long as you answer our questions honestly, we will never do anything to you." Su Changge said with a smile.

Seeing Su Changge's smile, Cai Cai's face became even paler and her body trembled.

"No, don't kill me..." Cai Cai unconsciously moved away from Su Changge and said in fear.

"Uh..." Su Changge looked embarrassed.

"Tell us the location of the ancient tree." At this time, Fang Yu spoke.

Cai Cai turned her head and looked at Fang Yu, shaking her head repeatedly, saying: "I can't let you blaspheme the ancient gods..."

"We just want to go and take a look." Fang Yu said.

Cai Cai bit her lip, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Do you know the secret about grandma?" Fang Yu asked, changing the subject.

Cai Cai suddenly raised her head, looking shocked.

"You should have discovered grandma's secret at some point in time, right? Her cellar..." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask.

Hearing the word cellar, Cai Cai's face changed drastically.

"I, I, I..." Cai Cai's eyes were filled with tears, and she was almost crying.

"If you tell me the truth, we may be able to help you." Fang Yu said, "As far as I know, you have been targeted by grandma."

Cai Cai looked at Fang Yu with wide eyes, tears dripping down.

…

“I wanted to talk to my grandma about something, but she wasn’t in the house… so I went out to look for her, and then I found an open hole behind the house…” Caicai said, her voice trembling, “I was curious, so I walked down the steps at the hole, and before I took two steps… I heard screams coming from inside.”

“I looked out and found a man… who was also a tourist who accidentally broke into our tribe, hanging upside down above a pool.”

“Grandma cut his throat with a knife, just like killing a chicken…”

At this point, Caicai couldn’t say any more, her face was pale, and she covered her mouth.

“Do the other people in your tribe know what she is doing?” Fang Yu asked.

"...I don't know." Cai Cai sobbed, "We only know that grandma will punish those people, and then we will never see that person again... Grandma said she sent them away, and we all believed her..."

"Is that so..." Fang Yu nodded and asked, "I see you all call her grandma, whose grandma is she?"

"She...is called grandma, and everyone around me has called her that since I was born." Cai Cai said, "On weekdays, grandma is very kind to everyone, and everyone loves her very much...She especially loves me..."

After discovering grandma's secret, Cai Cai has been in a state of extreme pain and entanglement.

She wanted to tell other adults in the tribe about this, but she didn't dare to, fearing that something bigger would happen.

Moreover, grandma has always been very kind to her, so she couldn't make up her mind to expose this matter.

"Your grandma is waiting for you to turn 18, that is, until you become an adult." Fang Yu said.

"What, what do you mean?" Cai Cai looked at Fang Yu and asked.

"That's right..." Fang Yu looked at Caicai, who looked like she was about to collapse at any time. He didn't say the more straightforward words he had originally said, but changed his words and said, "She might also want to harm you."

Caicai lowered her head, twisted her hands together, and didn't speak.

"By the way, what's the matter with the sacrificial ceremony of your tribe?" Fang Yu asked.

"Our tribe holds a sacrifice every year..." Caicai replied.

"At the same time, we have to sacrifice a baby?" Fang Yu asked with narrowed eyes.

"...Yeah." Caicai lowered her head and responded.

"Damn...this is too cruel. No one in your tribe resists this practice!?" Su Changge couldn't help cursing.

"The babies to be sacrificed every year are selected by lottery...Whoever complains will no longer be blessed by the ancient gods." Caicai whispered.
