Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!...

Two male dragon men, who are more than two meters tall, can be called burly among the dragon vein tribes, raised their drumsticks bare shirtlessly and beat the thunder cowhide drum set up on the rock altar.

The thunderous drum sound spread throughout the entire oasis, and even the lingering sound echoed in the distant desert for a long time, even the strange sound-absorbing characteristic did not work for it.

In this huge oasis of 5,000 square kilometers, there are about two thousand dragons living.

Although land of the same size is enough to support at least 30,000 humans, because of the terrible consumption of resources by the dragon people, for them, the limit of their ability to provide is almost reached.

The most important thing is.

The dragon people living here do not have the conditions for humans to sail in a great way. Even if they do not have enough resources, they can continue to explore the edge of the known world, discover and plunder more land and resources.

Even though there are some other scattered small communities distributed throughout the vast "Forgotten Desert", every dragon man knows very well. Under the premise that he cannot leave the [Havenly Mansion], their resource limit has been completely locked, and this is their last home!

And the gift from God is their only hope.

Including: strength (blood purification), expansion of oasis (water source), knowledge (agriculture, medicine, breeding)...

So in this area where most creatures are forbidden zones, the dragons' production and life are all centered on how to sacrifice and please the gods.

I don’t know if this design was done intentionally by the god. In short, every dragon man here is the most devout believer.

Of course, although there are no foreign enemies, it does not mean that their strength is not strong.

The dragon people are similar to the direct descendants of the royal families in various countries in the material world. Most people usually naturally grow to the second level after adulthood, but the third level is still difficult as a threshold.

Moreover, they do not have the inheritance of human knights, and they have already changed their path of will after the third level.

Dragon people benefit from their bloodlines and are also limited by their bloodlines. The growth of strength mainly depends on the two indicators of talent and age. Third-level extraordinary people are also rare here.

After all, even the pure-blooded shadow dragon is only at level 4 when adulthood, and the sub-dragon-type sea dragon is only at level 3 when adulthood, not to mention that it is just a group of low-level dragon people who are not sure how many dragon veins are infected?

Echoing with the drum sound.

The crowds of sacrifices have gradually gathered near the huge stone altar in the center of the city. This is a grand ceremony held every spring and autumn, and no one dares to neglect it.

The arrival of this last moment was faster than Angel expected at the beginning.

But because the original sacrificial ritual was already ready, she, the scattered person, became the main dish of the sacrificial ritual just an accident.

Not far from the altar, a rock cell is guarded by a female dragon man holding an obsidian spear, and is generally clean.

Angel gently picked up a pot of precious water. This was the only supply she had for the final offering, but she did not drink it, but slowly poured it on the roots of the three dwarf plants in the corner of the wall.

A trickle...

These are three herbs, about thirty centimeters tall. The stems are straight and rough purple-brown, with oval thick green leaves and bell-shaped blue-purple flowers, which look similar to ordinary ornamental plants.

But Angel looked at them as if she was looking at a priceless treasure.

This plant called [gentian] is essentially just an ordinary plant, and it is widely distributed throughout the material world.

But they have an extraordinary and highly targeted effect.

For dragon vein organisms, it is a natural stimulant and strong agent, which is widely used in the human world. It is native to the Southern Continent and coca leaves produced in the New Continent. It has similar effects.

It is also widely used by dragons as an auxiliary material for making tobacco leaves or brewing wine. Because of the strong physical resistance of the dragon veins, ordinary things in nature cannot achieve the effect of stimulating them at all, and they must be assisted by this special plant.

But this characteristic is regarded as her last chance by Angel, who has lost her "magic pocket" methods.

After she found two dust-like seeds in the cracks of the bricks in the prison, she began to take advantage of the fact that the guards who came to inspect regularly did not pay attention and quickly cultivated them to induce changes.

At the beginning.

When Angel just changed the "Tree of Life Meditation" method, she could make the flowers in the entire garden open instantly. During the apprenticeship stage, she could use [Spell-like Resurrection] to cultivate a powerful extraordinary plant like [Sorcery of Wizard Flytrap] in a very short time.

After being promoted to a formal wizard, she obtained two more strands of spiritual origin to supplement her, and her current abilities are no longer the same as before.

In one afternoon and one night, she had allowed the first two seeds to reproduce for hundreds of generations, and the concentration and penetration of alkaloids, as the main active ingredient, increased by nearly a thousand times.

Even if it is just a raw material that has not been manually purified, it has turned into a poison that only targets the dragon veins.

If it weren't for her complete control and the smell had not been allowed to spread, it might have attracted the attention of the third-level female dragon man not far from the cell.

No matter how strong the ordinary plant poison is, it is impossible to harm extraordinary creatures of this level.

The last three [gentian grass] plants will wither automatically after ripening, and the seeds will be collected by Angel as soon as possible.

Their seeds are small, and the total weight of a thousand grains is only about 24 mg.

At this time, she had collected a total of 100,000 pills in her hand, but the total weight was actually less than 3 grams. She was hidden in her hidden small pocket that changed from "venom" on her body, and no one could find it.

It is also her last hope for self-rescue.

Angel firmly believed that the teacher must be on the way to find her at this time. She didn't want Alvin to find only one corpse in the end, and even after being sacrificed, there was not even a corpse.

That would be so pitiful.

suddenly.

Bang—

Two female dragon men opened the door and walked in, put down a stone trough filled with clear water, and threw Anqi into a white linen robe, with a cold voice:

"Sacrifice! Wash yourself and change into this dress. If you don't cooperate, we will help you with it."

......

As the only two third-level dragon men in the Great Oasis, they are also the highest-ranking and deputy leaders.

Andreas, the Dragon Man of the Sea Emperor, and the Dragon Man of the Storm Dragon Man, have already changed into gorgeous sacrificial garments and climbed to the highest point of the huge stone altar early.

In the great oasis, both men, women, young and old, they also changed into the most grand clothes and waited solemnly in the square in front of the altar.

The originally dark sun in the sky obviously has a little more bright meaning at this time.

Because the Dragon Man assumed part of the responsibilities of the manager of the [Hades], his relationship with those Black Cliff Eagle Shaman is similar to the relationship between the federal government and the state government. It is just a basic exercise to adjust the brightness temporarily.

The price is that those ghosts who can only wander in the boundless "forgotten desert" are even more painful in the sun.

As the shadow of the sundial gradually moved, Andreas, the leader who was staring at this place, rang the gong at hand vigorously.

clang—

The sacrificial ceremony officially begins.

The blazing flames had already ignited, and the dragons respectfully sent to the huge stone altar, carefully selected food, live cattle, fruits and melons... but nothing is unrenewable.

And as the finale of this sacrifice.

After taking a shower, her long silver hair scattered behind her back, and Angel, wearing only a pure white linen robe, was locked in her hands by the bronze handcuffs engraved with spells, and kneeled on a huge golden plate with her naked and fair feet.

Four tall female dragon warriors raised high above their heads in great grand manner, crossed the wide avenue in the middle of the crowd, and rushed all the way to the altar.

Under the bright sunshine, the pure 15-year-old girl's whole body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of misty holy light.

The residents of the Great Oasis looked up and frantically gave a gift of attention to the holy lamb who was about to be sacrificed to the gods.

But in their eyes, what they see is not the pitiful innocent girl, but everything they desire for this year's water source, harvest, healthy growth offspring and so on.

The dragon man who is not rich in material things in the [Haven] has no extra compassion for other irrelevant people. Anyway, it is others who sacrifice it, and it is yourself who enjoys the benefits, right?

Even the injured Dorok, who was just rescued by Angel yesterday, had the expression on his face that was exactly the same as those around him.

At this time.

However, no one noticed that the white cloth robe on the girl seemed to be slightly more delicate than the normal craftsmanship level in the oasis. No one noticed that as the golden plate moved, there were endless tiny particles spreading along the way with the wind, covering the entire square of sacrifice.

Anqi, who knelt on the golden plate, seemed to be a lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of others, stared at the fanatical crowd, but there was no expression on her face.

During this period, the third-level female dragon man named Leoni was in the cell throughout the whole time and did not give her any chance.

However, when people gather, the effect of using [gentian] may be better.

Anqi was scattered in places like the military camp and the pirate regiment some time ago. Under the influence of her, the defense networks of these dragon people were no different from those of the primitive people in her eyes.

As long as she can create large-scale chaos and make the two third-level players unable to take care of themselves, she is confident that she can escape safely with this top-end version of the "Venom" armor on her body.

After all, no matter how strict and clever the defense system is, there may be unexpected loopholes without actual combat inspection, not to mention that these platoons may have been dragon people learned from the Atlians.

The sacrificial ceremony of the dragon man begins on time without anyone's will.

Angel didn't shout or scream, she was very tame and quietly waited for that opportunity.

A dragon vein warlock climbed to the altar, holding a magic book covered with fine scales, and sang prayers loudly:

"The most holy! The dark dragon, the ancestor of the dragon vein, the noble dragon king Niedhog who guards the [Styx]..."

In addition to being the core of the sacrificial ritual, the powerful magic book "Dragon Covenant" also records the names, habits, preferences, and public seals corresponding to some powerful dragons that exist in the world (the fourth level after adulthood)...

As the chanting progressed, a grand and solemn atmosphere enveloped the altar, and orange-red flames began to run around, as if a messy wind gathered here from all directions.

At this time.

Everyone had already knelt on one knee, hanging their heads deep down, even the guardians of the altar and the two powerful leaders of the third level were no exception.

Maybe because of Angel's cooperating attitude, no one thinks that this cooked duck can fly.

"Chance!"

Angel's cold big eyes lit up slightly, and the seemingly simple cloth robe on her body was automatically unwind, spreading rapidly to her whole body. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a close-fitting dark blue "venom" armor.

In addition to integrating power amplification, Venom Sword, Venom Armor, automatic repair, low-level intelligence, strain language and other functions, it also has a powerful life-saving system and mimicry ability, which can flexibly turn into various clothing and equipment.
To be continued...
