Chapter 49: Initiation of Retirement
After clearing the underground beast group, the two finally made time to go to the surface.
Kane was worried that he would be exposed to humans, so he asked Kaysha to go as usual, while he was waiting for news near the exit.
The dark night in the desert is not dim and dull. Half the moon hangs high in the vast sky, and the sky casts starry lights.
For Kesha, this is much brighter than the underground world.
The rich smell of life slowly rose on his face with the dust. Keshaga's eyebrows under his helmet frowned, and immediately stepped on the rocks and walked out of the pile of stones to check around.
The scenery in front of her furious!
The pile of rocks at the entrance of the tunnel was artificially surrounded by wooden stakes. The piles of wood were inserted into the ground and connected to the rock columns, surrounding the piles of rocks into a beast railing with an area of hundreds of square meters.
Judging from the low wooden stake, what the inverted beast clan wants to keep is not the void monster that devours life, but the sheep for sacrifice in the clan!
Yes, what Kaisha smelled was the smell of the mixture of forage, feces and wool.
She saw a group of goats huddled together under the stone pillars with huge skulls, resisting the cold wind of the night by relying on the stone pillars that penetrated the yellow sand of the desert, relying on each other to maintain body temperature.
And this beast cliff is set up to prevent the sheep from escaping!
Kaisha looked into the distance again. There were a few lights in the settlement not far away, which meant that the people had not left and were still living a seemingly peaceful life in the settlement.
This made her very angry.
He has clearly warned again and again why these people not only did not move away, but also put the sheep in such a dangerous place!
Is it because I invite Void creatures to come up to eat? Do you think I didn’t die fast enough?
Do you have to wait until your family is destroyed and you fill everything into the monster's mouth before you know how big the void's appetite is?
Kaisha was very angry, and she could be said to be furious, but she still held back and didn't vent.
Because the wind spread her scent into the flock, they screamed in panic. The sound led to two humans hiding in the dark, and Kesha heard the conversation between them.
"What's going on? The scream is so shrill? Is it the monster here?"
A man holding a spear walked out from behind the stone pillar, posing in a fighting posture, looking uneasy.
"There are no monsters, don't scare yourself."
Another man's hat was also crooked and he moved from his face to the messy hair. His butt was covered in dust. He knew at a glance that he was sitting on the ground to rest.
Kesha was glad that she had come out invisible, otherwise she might have discovered it with two humans hiding in the dark on her back.
"Please keep a good night's watch, don't be lazy. If the monster comes and you are sleeping, I won't wake you up."
The flock gradually became quiet. After the spear man found that there was nothing abnormal in the animal pen, he said to his companion fiercely.
However, the man with a cloth hat didn't care and fought back with a disdainful tone: "There are no monsters? If there were any, these sheep would have been kidnapped long ago."
"How do you explain so many strange things happened in the settlement ahead?" The man in the spear knocked his companion with the spear.
"The previous events have not yet died. And think about it, will a real monster just scare people and not kill people? Obviously not. If you want me, it must be an evil mage pretending to be a god and ghost and deliberately teasing us. It's just that his methods are too clever and we can't find it. Don't come to a few missionaries and say that you believe it if there are monsters. It's so naive. You also say that you can feed the monsters as long as you sacrifice and prevent the settlement from invasion..."
The man in the hat cursed with resentment, as if he had a holiday with the missionary.
When Kesha heard the missionary, her ears ridged, and her intuition told her that this might be the reason why people didn't listen to the warning.
"The strange things in the settlement have indeed stopped these days, and everyone thinks that the missionaries are right."
"So you believed it?"
"I don't believe it, but the chief believes it, otherwise we wouldn't be vigiling here." The spearman sighed.
"Don't be wronged, I'm even more wronged than you. The only two sheep in my family were pulled over as sacrifices. Those two missionaries were simply beasts, and they didn't even let go of the baby ewes that could produce milk when pregnant."
The man in the hat usually squeezed her goat milk a lot. As he spoke, he squeezed a handful of piercing men's strong chest muscles, which caused the latter to scold him.
"Get out! Go find your ewe so thirsty!"
"It's so cold that sheep know to keep the cold together, and you don't let me rely on it to keep warm. At least we can watch the night together, it's really unkind." The man in the hat held his arms and rubbed it hard. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was very big. It was midnight, and the cold wind with gravel blew on his face and felt extremely painful.
"You won't huddle with the flock? It's warm. When you get excited, you can do some warm-up exercises, so why are you afraid of cold?"
Kaisha did not continue to eavesdrop on the warm-hearted conversation between the two men. The pure ones she listened more and more confused, so she simply returned to the ground and told Kane about the situation.
Of course, it also includes the follow-up topics of two night watchmen about ewes.
"Ahem, I forgot about the ewes. The focus of our attention is on the two foreign missionaries." Kane gently patted Keisha's shoulder, and said earnestly, looking like an old father.
"What you hear is that the arrival of the missionaries has caused people to build a beast cliff next to the tunnel, where sheep and animals are placed as sacrifices. They want to exchange their sacrifices for human peace."
"Yes, that's it!" Kaisha clenched her fists, and she had nowhere to breathe.
The anger made her motivated, and she said to Kane: "Why don't we kill all the goats and leave the body to eat, and warn them not to throw sacrifices underground."
"The sacrifice was originally meant to be sacrificed. If you killed the sacrifice, isn't it just that it is passing on them the meaning of sacrifice to them? " Hearing this, Kane directly twisted her ear: "You might as well go past the goats and kill the two night watchmen, so that you can convey your anger and warn people to nervously send the sacrifices to you."
Kesha was frightened and shook her head repeatedly: "Without any grudge, how can we kill people? Isn't that the same as a monster?"
"Forget it, I'll think of something else."
Killing is still too taboo for Keisha nowadays. She has received a lot of positive feedback from humans in the small villages of the past, so even if she has been misunderstood once, she still has a good impression of humans.
She saw many things worth protecting in humans. Those love and kindness actually do not conflict with people's stupidity.
After all, stupidity is just because you haven't seen it with your own eyes, and it's not really hopeless.
Kaisha came to her senses, and she soon noticed Kane who had suddenly become quiet. Seeing that he looked normal, he was not angry at all, he said in confusion: "Why are you not angry at all?"
Kane was trying to ask whether to raise the tram problem to make things difficult for Kaisha and leverage her bottom line, but after thinking about it, he would just forget it.
inappropriate.
"What's so good about being with a group of self-deceiving guys?" Kane didn't even feel disappointed. Although there were two unexpected missionaries, the result was not beyond his expectations.
He sighed and expressed an idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Kesha, why don't we... let's just ignore them?"
