As he spoke, he took out the crocodile he had caught by the river from the space of the glazed orb and threw it into the bronze cauldron next to it.
Mi Li exclaimed: "I didn't expect you still have these materials in your storage space, but the crocodile is not a precious material, so I'm afraid it won't be enough as a sacrifice."
Seeing that she was still looking at Pei Mianman's back reluctantly, Zu An's scalp went numb. He was really worried that she wouldn't be able to hold back and kill Da Manman, so he hurriedly took out Taotie's body that he had picked up from the giant pit before:
"I still have this."
"Taotie? Although this one looks a bit disgusting, merchants seem to often use it as war sacrifices, so it should be okay." Mi Li nodded.
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if that wasn't enough, I would definitely bring the corpses of those giant dragons as sacrifices. The only thing I was worried about was how to put the huge dragon corpses into the bronze cauldron.
At this time, Pei Mianman was startled: "What are you doing?"
I just asked him a question, but he remained silent, and then threw the crocodile and the Taotie's body into the big cauldron aside.
Because Taotie's body was larger than Ding, he took out the Tai'a sword and dismembered its head, limbs, tail, etc. before putting them in.
Taotie juice flowed across the river, but I don't know why. Its corrosive liquid fell on the ground and even on the bronze cauldron, but there was no reaction at all.
However, this scene of dismemberment was really uncomfortable to watch. If she hadn't seen Zu An's clear eyes, she would have thought that he was possessed by an evil spirit.
"I'm trying to find a way out." Zu An explained and directed her, "You use black fire to burn it underneath and try to cook the contents inside."
"Ah?" Pei Mianman looked confused, "Now that my black flames are not enough to protect both of us, why should I use them for cooking?"
She really couldn't understand the other person's current brain circuit.
Zu An quickly explained the connection between the high platform and the sacrifice.
Pei Mianman was dubious when she heard this, but she thought that the other party had always made plans and then acted, so she decided to believe him.
So while protecting the two of them with black flames, she spread a ray of black flames to the bottom of the bronze cauldron to heat them.
Originally, her black flame could last for about three sticks of incense, but now it may not be able to hold even one stick of incense.
She glanced at Zu An, gritted her teeth, and finally said nothing.
Zu An pulled her next to the bronze cauldron, so that he could use the flames under the bronze cauldron to defend one direction and reduce her pressure.
Originally, the bronze cauldron was so thick that it was difficult for ordinary flames to heat it, let alone cook the contents inside.
Fortunately, Pei Mianman's black flame was not extraordinary, and it quickly raised the temperature to a very high level. After a while, the aroma of meat gradually came from the bronze cauldron, and at the same time, it was mixed with a lot of disgusting smells.
Presumably, the mucus and various corrosive liquids on Taotie's body were heated.
Zu An looked at this pot of dark food, and his expression suddenly became extremely strange. If he sacrificed something like this, would the gods eat it up and then send down a punishment from heaven?
Unfortunately, there is no turning back now, so I can only bite the bullet and cook.
Pei Mianman also frowned and couldn't help but said: "This smell really... looks like... like..."
Seeing that she was blushing for a long time and was embarrassed to say it, Zu An smiled and said: "It's like boiling a pot of shit, right?"
"Stop talking..." Pei Mianman felt his stomach churning and couldn't help but retched, "Are you sure this can be used as a sacrifice?"
"It should be OK," Zu An was not sure. "After all, it is made from ingredients. Although it smells a bit unpleasant, it is at best shit-flavored chocolate. After all, it is still chocolate. It is still much better than chocolate-flavored shit.
If you were a god, which one would you choose?"
Although he had never heard the word chocolate, Pei Mianman roughly understood the meaning of his words and covered his nose in shame: "I don't choose either."
Just during this distraction, a gap appeared in her defense, and countless evil spirits swarmed in.
Pei Mianman's face turned pale, and Zu An hurriedly held him in his arms to protect him. He had already taken out the magical flashlight from before, which should be very capable of restraining these undead creatures.
It's just that he only has one last chance to use it, and he doesn't want to waste it unless he has to.
But there was no other way now. Just when he was about to turn on the flashlight, the evil spirits suddenly seemed to be attracted by some delicious food, and they all turned around and flew to the bronze cauldron aside.
The large pot of indescribable things inside became a delicacy in the eyes of many evil spirits. They rushed up one after another, and the weird meat in the cauldron was devoured at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The cauldron was originally filled with the corpses of crocodiles and gluttons, but it wasn't long before the cauldron was completely eaten by these evil spirits.
Those evil spirits did not come out of the cauldron again. The eerie fog around them gradually dissipated. The greenish-green color in the torches on both sides of the steps also completely faded and returned to normal. No evil spirits could be seen around.
"It's... it's really effective." Pei Mianman's face turned pale. She thought she was dead for a moment, but she didn't expect to escape.
Mi Li snorted secretly: "You have big breasts and no brains. You can only show off your coquettishness to seduce men."
Zu An: "..."
What's going on with Sister Queen today? She seems to be a little jealous.
Of course, he didn't dare to say this, lest he add fuel to the fire.
At this time, a rumbling sound sounded, and a piece of ground behind the bronze cauldron suddenly split into several petals, then rotated to reveal a circular hole.
There was also a long staircase winding down at the entrance of the cave, but the firelight from the bronze cauldron could only shine a few meters away, and the entire entrance was pitch black, making it impossible to see clearly what was inside.
"Sister Queen, what's going on?" Since Mi Li came out, Zu An naturally did not miss such a good opportunity to prevent her from falling into a deep sleep again.
Mi Li said in a deep voice: "Back then, I read an ancient book, which recorded a strange architectural habit of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Above the ground is the palace, and below the ground is the imperial mausoleum. Since it is an altar, it is naturally a way to communicate with ghosts and gods.
In this place, merchants not only offer sacrifices to gods, but also to ghosts. God is heaven, and ghosts are their ancestors. If my prediction is correct, the one leading down here should be the imperial mausoleum of the Shang Dynasty."
Zu An swallowed hard: "We have encountered so many dangers in the palace on the ground, including skeleton warriors with overwhelming fighting power, and countless evil spirits that cannibalize human flesh and blood. How about their underground imperial tomb?
Come on?"
Mi Li snorted coldly: "You have no other choice now. Have you forgotten the last time you met me in the secret realm? Every secret realm must have its own formation. If you don't break it, you will be trapped for the rest of your life.
Trapped here, it seems that the formation is not in the palace area on the ground at the moment, it can only be down here."
"I know that you still have two dragon corpses that can be used as food, and you also prepare some supplies in your storage space on a daily basis, but those may be able to support you for one or two years, but what about ten and a hundred years? Not to mention this
There are threats everywhere, and it may not be safe for you to stay in the above-ground palace area."
"And if my prediction is correct, there should be a magical skill hidden in this secret realm that is no less than the "Hongmeng Yuanshi Jing". It is a great opportunity for you to enter this secret realm, so why should you hesitate?"
Seeing that she seemed to be a stern teacher, Zu An muttered: "I just said it casually, but I didn't say anything."
"That's good," Mi Li's face softened a little, and she looked at Pei Mianman, who was full of doubts. "Now I think it's God's will that this woman comes with you. According to me, the status of Yin Shang women is higher than that of other feudal dynasties.
Many of the queens of the Yin and Shang dynasties were either high priests or generals, or they were existences similar to prime ministers who helped the King of Shang handle government affairs, so this woman by your side may have an unexpected effect."
