Chapter 21 Live animal sacrifice, see the abyss again!

"It's an earthquake? This is the first time I've seen it." Kesha appeared from nothingness, put away her helmet and murmured at the source of the earthquake.

The Void Skin Armor has fully strengthened her senses, and Kesha's feeling of vibration is stronger than Kane.

"I think it shouldn't be an earthquake..." Kane had a different view: "It is logical that such a strong tremor shouldn't last for only a moment, it feels like... it's like something fell."

"Just like we did at the beginning?" Kesha exclaimed, then calmed down and thought of many possibilities.

"Will anyone fall down?"

"The void creature should have felt it too."

"It's better to go over and take a look."

She said, her purple eyes staring at Kane, her subtle expression filled with layers of temptation.

For such emergencies, the right to choose Kane. Without his permission, Kaye was not allowed to explore without authorization.

If something really collapsed, would humans appear as Kesha said?

Kane was worried about this. If the humans fell down, they would not be able to survive in a day, but their few words before their death might directly destroy Kesha's innocence.

He originally wanted to slowly let her understand the cruel and indifferent nature of human society, but the emergencies disrupted his plan. Should he destroy this innocence now?

But Kaisha's eyes stinged him.

Forget it, if it is really a fateful arrangement, then come on!

"Then go and have a look."

Kane took the hand handed by Kesha, and she couldn't wait to pull it towards the source of the earthquake.

...

"Ah—"

When he arrived at the center of the quake, before he could enter the cave, Kane heard a familiar cries of animals coming from it.

"It's a goat!" Kaisha said in surprise, then accelerated her pace.

Goats are animals that only exist on the ground. As Kane expected, things on the ground fell down.

They walked into the cave and found a large piece of the dome of the cave. Dozens of sheep were buried in the ruins below, most of which had fallen to death on the spot.

Kesha was eager to jump down the slope to contact the goat below, but Kane didn't let it go, and grabbed her arm with one hand.

"Don't worry, look at what that is!"

He pointed to the deep terrain behind the ruins, the purple abyss, and the energy of the void always rises and falls in it, occasionally stirring up ugly shapes.

Kaisha was stunned. Although the abyss in front of her was less than one tenth of the previous one, the majestic death energy made its existence irrefutable.

It was really the kind of abyss they saw a year ago.

It is extremely dangerous to get close to the abyss, and Kesha immediately stopped her impulse.

"How could it be so coincidental that the place where the fall happened to be near the abyss?"

The situation in front of him confused Kaisha. When they fell down, there was no abyss around the ruins.

This may not be a coincidence...

"Kesha, will the sheep prepared in the village be led to a specific place to sacrifice?" Kane felt that it was clear that even if he knew who was leading these tragedies, it did not mean that it was meaningless to guide practical reasoning.

Perhaps he can figure out the rules and intentions of the cultists' sacrifices?

Then he learned a little more about their common enemy.

"I don't know, but the goats prepared that night were no longer in the sheep pen the next day, and must have been taken away by those strangers."

Looking at the goat Kesha in the ruins, she recalled some folk customs she had not understood.

——Hang a bouquet of bright moon pearls on the stove, dance under the crescent moon, pray to Nathus for the prosperity of the family and people, or leave a few sheep outside the door to satisfy the mouths of the beasts.

What made her think about it was that when interpreting the customs she couldn't understand at the beginning, it would reveal many terrible things.

Are those sheep and animals here to satisfy the beast's mouth and bring peace?

No, that is ringing the bell for the void creatures to make their meals!

Those cults never intended to sacrifice for peace. They have been luring void creatures to the surface!

This discovery made Kesha terrified and as if she was struck by lightning.

"We must go up and tell people the truth quickly! Let them stop listening to those cults, everything they do is harming others and themselves!"

She looked up at the collapsed cave dome, as if she wanted to return to the ground through there.

But Kane immediately poured cold water on her and forced her to calm down.

"You can use your brain before doing things, okay, how do you tell the people on the ground? If you were you, would you believe in a monster-like person? Or a monster-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person-like person

"Don't forget how we were thrown away? Isn't it just that we didn't prepare for sacrifice and did not complete the mission of the cult, so we were cast and thrown into the ground. If those people openly resisted the cult, their fate would be exactly the same as we were before."

"Also, look carefully. There is a dead end above the ruins. The earth cracked and closed again, and it cannot be done!"

Kane's three-combo denied strikes knocked Kesha out of her skin, and her enthusiasm was extinguished. Now she felt that she was so foolish the previous second.

"What do you think you should do?" Kaisha pouted aggrievedly. She racked her brains and couldn't think of any other way.

"What do you think about this now? Look at the height of the dome, at least hundreds or thousands of meters high, which means that the void creatures are still a distance from the surface, and the sheep thrown above are not enough to lead them up. As long as people are obedient, they will be safe for the time being."

Kane breathed a sigh of relief when he did not find a living person in the ruins and avoided Kesha from contacting the living person. But he did not dare to relax too much, after all, that was a hurdle that Kesha would face sooner or later.

"What should we do with these goats..." The goats in the ruins were still struggling and screaming, and their mourns touched Kaisha's heart.

"Of course I ate it." Kane licked his lips. He had been greedy for the lamb for a long time.

It's been a year! Do you know how he got through this year?

He is now at the age of growing up and naturally has a strong desire for meat. When he saw these goats to be slaughtered, his long-silent stomach began to slam his heart. After wave after wave, the bell of the decisive battle sounded.

"Ah? Sheep can be so cute, how can you eat it?"

Kaisha didn't expect that Kane would have such a devilish idea. In this lonely and tragic underground world, some docile living creatures came to him, and he actually wanted to eat them!

Kane straightened his eyebrows: "Don't tell me that you have never eaten mutton. You eat a lot during the holidays. I still remember you showing off in front of us with roasted lamb legs, sprinkled with spices your father brought back from outside. My child next door and I burst into tears on the spot, and tears flowed out of the corners of my mouth unconsciously."
