Soon after, Felin and the others arrived at a village.
This is a small village. Judging from the number of houses in the village, it is a village with only a few dozen households.
But what made them feel unusual was that it was morning, the busiest time of the day, but they did not see any villagers in the fields beside the village.
Moreover, there was no sound coming from the village, and the whole village was extremely silent.
"There are signs of damage!"
Julie pointed to a house on the edge of the village and said.
I saw a huge hole in the door of this house near the edge of the village.
"It smells like blood!"
Ai Xi frowned slightly and said.
With the help of the sniffing ability of plants, her sense of smell was extremely keen and she could smell the smell of blood in the air.
And based on her experience, she was sure that the smell of blood came from human blood.
The three Felins arrived at the house and immediately saw bright red blood stains on the ground next to the house.
Entering the house through the hole, the house was in a mess, with obvious signs of fighting and blood stains.
However, no injured people or corpses were seen.
The three Felins left the house and walked to another house next to it.
It was found that the door of another house was also damaged, there were blood stains around the house, and there were signs of a fight inside the house.
"The blood stains extend towards the center of the village!"
Julie followed the blood stain and saw that the blood stain extended all the way to the center of the village.
"Let's go to the center of the village and take a look."
Feilin's bad premonition became stronger and he said in a deep voice.
The three of them walked quickly, seeing many destroyed houses and blood stains on the ground along the way, and arrived at the center of the village.
In the center of the village is an open space paved with stone slabs and covered with moss.
In normal times, this is a place for children to play, but during the harvest season, it becomes a place for drying agricultural products.
At this time, there was a large amount of clothing in this open space.
There were clothes for adults and children, most of which were tattered and stained with blood.
In addition, there are also faintly visible light red traces. These red traces are connected in series with each other to form a huge strange pattern.
"What exactly happened in this village?"
Feeling how strange things were, Ai Xi frowned.
"This is the pattern of a sacrificial ceremony that has already been launched. A cultist has launched a sacrifice in this village."
Julie stepped forward, looked at the red pattern carefully, and said seriously.
"Sacrifice?"
Ai Xi's heart skipped a beat and her face turned ugly.
"Have the villagers in this village already...? No, there are no corpses left here!"
"Right there!"
Julie pointed to a pile of clothes on the open space and said.
"They are all clothes and there is no body inside. Are you mistaken?"
Elsie looked at Julie suspiciously.
"There is no body because even the body was not left behind after the sacrifice."
Judy said in a deep voice.
"If my guess is correct, the smell similar to the humanoid fog monster you smelled before should be the breath of a follower of the evil god Mist Lord."
"A believer of the evil god Mist Lord broke into this village and captured and sacrificed the villagers."
"The reason why there are no corpses left is because the characteristic of the Mist Sacrifice is that the corpse of the person being sacrificed will turn into mist and disappear."
"A follower of the evil god Mist Lord?"
Felin's face turned ugly.
He had a bad feeling before when he heard that the smell that resembled a humanoid fog monster was moving in the direction of this village.
The bad premonition came true, something happened to this village.
"It's a bit strange."
At this moment, Julie said with some confusion in her voice.
"Which point?"
Feline asked.
"I have seen the sacrificial ritual pattern of the now-defunct cult organization Fog of War in a book. Compared with the sacrificial ritual pattern of Fog of War, this sacrificial ritual pattern is very crude."
"But it's really strange that such a simple sacrificial ritual pattern was successfully activated."
Julie said in confusion.
"Very crude? It's indeed a little crude."
After being reminded by Julie, Felin looked at the sacrificial ritual pattern.
I found that this sacrificial ritual pattern was indeed quite crude compared to the sacrificial ritual patterns of other cult organizations I had encountered before.
"Ai Xi can smell the scent left by this believer of the Evil God Mist Lord along the way, which means that this believer of the Evil God Mist Lord arrived in the village not long before us."
"The completion of the sacrificial ceremony in such a short period of time also illustrates the haste and simplicity of this sacrificial ceremony."
Julie continued.
"It's indeed strange, but let's put this aside for now. This believer of the Evil God, Lord of Mist, hasn't gone far yet. Let's catch up with him."
Felin said with anger in his eyes.
Their team is responsible for searching for singularities, but now that they have encountered one, they cannot let this believer of the evil god Mist Lord continue to harm ordinary people.
Moreover, this believer of the Evil God Mist Lord appears in this area where there may be a singularity, and he may know something about the singularity.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Ai Xi sniffed the scent of this believer of the evil god Mist Lord, and Felin and the other three left the village and quickly chased after him.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
In a village not far from the village where the sacrifice was made, frightened screams continued to sound.
A woman with heavy makeup came to this village and used abilities that were unbelievable to the villagers to attack the village.
Some fled back to their houses and locked the doors, but were chased by monkey-like fog monsters that broke down the doors and captured them from the houses.
Some fled outside the village, but were immediately overtaken by monkey-like fog monsters that were faster than them, had their legs broken, and were dragged back to the village.
All the captured villagers were gathered into the open space in the center of the village.
The woman with heavy makeup drew a strange blood pattern on the open space using the blood of a murdered villager.
This pattern is exactly the same as the one Felin and the other three have seen.
After more than an hour, a blood pattern appeared in the open space.
The woman stood up and looked at the more than a hundred villagers who were surrounded by more than a dozen monkey-like fog monsters and were afraid to move.
There was morbid excitement on her face. By sacrificing these people, she would become stronger.
Her name is Shirley Benard, and she was a woman of some sort who was once quite famous.
As she gets older and her beauty declines, it becomes difficult for her to attract customers. Coupled with her unrestrained spending in the past few years and little savings, her life becomes difficult. She is often ridiculed by her peers and customers.
At this moment, she encountered a humanoid fog monster. Not only did she not die, but she was also lucky enough to have extraordinary abilities.
After gaining extraordinary abilities, she began to take revenge on those who had ridiculed her, and through the memories she suddenly gained in her mind, she sacrificed these people to make herself stronger.
As a customary woman, she has come into contact with many and varied people over the years, and she knows the official occultist.
Realizing that she might have attracted the attention of the official mystic, she left the city and attacked the villages outside the city, using the villagers as sacrifices to continue to grow stronger.
"Well, there are others."
Just as she was preparing to sacrifice, she suddenly noticed movement. She looked towards the direction from which the movement came, and immediately saw three young men, one man and two women.
"You don't look like you are from the village. You must be passing by."
Glancing at the three of them, she immediately judged from their clothes that they were not from the village.
"You are unlucky to meet me."
She gave the order to the three monkey-like fog monsters to capture the three of them, and the three monkey-like fog monsters immediately pounced on the three of them.
