Chapter 1,080: Unable to Escape the Clutches
"Bullshit blessing! Even if it is really a god, a god who needs to sacrifice babies must not be a good thing, right?" Su Changge said angrily.
Fang Yu didn't speak.
"After each family is drawn, it will not be this family's turn again in the next twenty years...so they can all accept it, after all, in order to worship the ancient gods..." Caicai said softly.
"What about you?" At this time, Fang Yu asked.
"...Me?" Cai Cai raised his head and looked at Fang Yu.
"Can you accept this approach?" Fang Yu asked.
Caicai bit her lip, lowered her head, continued to wring her little hands, and did not answer.
"Take us to the Ancient God Tree." Fang Yu said, "Since you also think this situation is wrong, you should help us."
"Who...are you?" Cai Cai looked at Fang Yu and asked.
"Your question is on point." Su Changge smiled slightly and said, "The person sitting in front of you is the most powerful man in Yanxia... Fang Yu, and I am his chief follower, Su Changge "
"Fang Yu..." Caicai looked confused.
"You haven't heard of my boss's name? No, right? Don't people in your tribe watch the news?" Su Changge raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't look..." Caicai replied.
"...Well, it doesn't matter if you don't know...anyway, we can definitely help you." Su Changge said.
Caicai lowered his head and wrung his hands, obviously very troubled.
Fang Yu didn't urge her.
After a while, Cai Cai raised his head with firm eyes and said, "I will take you to see the ancient god."
…
Fang Yu and Su Changge continued to remain invisible and followed Cai Cai back to the middle of the Dazhao Rainforest.
Then, walk to the left of the avenue and into the woods.
We passed many trees along the way, and finally... we stopped in front of a big tree that was no different from any other.
"This...is the ancient sacred tree?" Su Changge asked.
At this time, Caicai was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowed three times in a row, and said in his mouth: "Please don't blame the ancient gods..."
Caicai stood up, and Su Changge couldn't help but said: "Little sister, I don't mean to offend... But this tree is really no different from other trees. Are you sure it is the ancient sacred tree?"
"Yes!" Caicai nodded firmly and said, "This is the ancient god."
Fang Yu raised his head and observed the big tree carefully.
The tree is about sixty meters tall. Its bark, branches and leaves... are basically similar to other trees in this rain forest, and there is nothing special about it.
In terms of aura...it was also very normal, not emitting any strange aura.
"Caicai probably didn't lie..."
Fang Yu frowned slightly, opened his eyes of insight, and looked through the big tree in front of him.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Fang Yu's expression changed slightly.
Once seen through, the inside of the tree can be seen.
There is an object the size of a football, located in the middle of the trunk of this tree, and it is beating!
This is the heart! ?
Fang Yu looked down and saw the roots of the tree under the ground, which spread extremely long. The roots were small but twisted, which looked very strange.
When he saw the soles of his feet, Fang Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Be careful where you step." Fang Yu said.
"Stab it!"
The next second, dozens of tiny tree roots penetrated the ground beneath his feet.
Fang Yu jumped into the air.
But Su Changge and Caicai didn't react. They were directly entangled by these tree roots and suddenly rose up.
And there were more than a dozen tree roots jumping into the air, chasing Fang Yu.
Fang Yu clapped his hands together in the air.
"Snapped!"
More than a dozen tree roots sprang up and were cut off directly.
At the same time, Fang Yu stepped on the trunk of the ancient sacred tree and looked down.
At this time, both Su Changge and Caicai had their upper bodies tied up, unable to move their hands.
The two of them were just hanging in mid-air.
"Bang bang bang..."
There was a rush of footsteps all around.
Fang Yu looked around and saw a large group of people wearing leaf costumes surrounding him from all directions.
Now, with the ancient sacred tree as the center, it has been surrounded by several layers inside and outside.
These people held all kinds of weapons in their hands. This time it was not just wooden sticks, but also sharp tools such as axes and hoes.
At the head of the crowd, Fang Yu saw the man who walked out of the hut before.
At this time, the man was staring at Cai Cai, who was bound by the branches and hanging in the air, clenching his teeth. In addition to anger, there was deep worry in his eyes.
"You two bastards, how dare you break in!" someone around yelled.
This took the lead, and the rest of the tribal crowd followed suit.
"How dare you step on the ancient god? Get off now!"
"How dare you blaspheme the ancient gods... These two people must pay the price!"
"Don't wait any longer, rush forward now and beat them both into disablement..."
For a moment, the surroundings were filled with angry curses.
The leading man coughed twice, but could not stop the anger of the people around him.
But suddenly, the crowd fell silent.
On the other side, the crowd moved out of the way.
An old woman with a hunched back and a snake-head crutch walked in slowly from outside.
Everyone present stared at the old woman with respectful expressions.
In the air under the Ancient God Tree, Su Changge was struggling hard.
Caicai's face was bloodless and his eyes were filled with tears.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." At this time, Fang Yu's voice reached Cai Cai's ears.
Cai Cai raised her head and looked at Fang Yu, who was standing horizontally on the tree trunk, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Grandma!"
The people around her bowed together.
The old woman walked to the side of the man and looked up at the three people in front of her.
Her eyes were still narrowed, revealing only a slight look, but it made people feel like thorns on their backs and cold all over.
"Cai Cai, how could you make such a mistake?" Grandma looked at Cai Cai, and her wrinkled face seemed to show a little smile.
"Grandma, Cai Cai must have been coerced by those two outsiders to do such a thing, please..." The man next to her said hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter what she thinks, what matters is what she does." Grandma said slowly, "Even if she loses her life, she must maintain the dignity of the ancient gods. This... I said it a long time ago."
"Grandma..." The man was pale and wanted to speak.
"Since Caicai was quite obedient and well-behaved in the past, I will not punish her severely. I will only put her in solitary confinement for a period of time, for... three years." The grandmother glanced at the man and said.
Hearing this, the man's face changed and his breathing became heavy.
From the day Caicai was born, the grandmother had been coveting Caicai.
But Caicai has a special physique, and she will only be most effective if she is sacrificed when she reaches adulthood.
Therefore, from the day Caicai was born, the person who paid the most attention to Caicai's growth... was the grandmother!
Her love for Caicai was just hypocritical kindness.
What she really wanted... was Caicai's life after adulthood!
The man knew this in his heart.
He wanted to rebel against the grandmother countless times, take Caicai away from the Dazhao tribe, and even escape from the southwest region.
But he knew in his heart that he could not escape from the grandmother's palm.
Acting rashly would only cost him his life, and even implicate many people in the tribe.
So he planned to find a way to send Caicai away alone during the last three years.
As long as Caicai can leave this rain forest, he doesn't care even if he dies.
But now, grandma takes this opportunity to put Caicai in solitary confinement for three years!
This is equivalent to blocking all the ways for Caicai to survive.
"Grandma! You can't..." The man couldn't bear it anymore and spoke angrily.
"Bang!"
The grandma stomped the snake-headed crutch in her hand.
The man groaned in pain, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground beside him.
"Daddy!" Caicai cried and struggled desperately.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the others present changed.
The man is the nominal leader of the tribe.
Unexpectedly, grandma would take action directly.
"Wen Shao, everyone knows that Caicai is your daughter, and you want to favor her in public... Even if you are the leader of the tribe, I have to teach you a lesson." Grandma glanced at the man lying on the ground coldly and said.
Grandma said to this extent, although others couldn't bear it, they didn't dare to speak out.
They just glared at Fang Yu and Su Changge.
If it weren't for these two outsiders, how could Wenshao and Caicai end up in such a situation!
Grandma raised her head and looked forward again, but her face changed and she took a step back.
At some point, Fang Yu was standing in front of her.
