They were a pair of young men and women, both of whom were dressed in shabby clothes. They were looking at the person in front of them with horrified expressions.
Lin Mengya squinted her eyes and saw that although the clothes on the two of them were dirty, it could still be seen that they were made of silk and satin.
Presumably, before these two people were captured, they should have at least come from a modestly wealthy family.
These two people may have suffered a lot along the way. Even after they were released, they did not run away, but looked at everything in front of them with despair.
The girl was also whining, probably because she had been crying for too long, so she had no energy, and it was no louder than a cat meowing.
Although the boy was thin, he subconsciously blocked the girl behind him.
The two of them looked even more pitiful in comparison with a group of ferocious guys.
The two of them don't know now that the big black snake they are so afraid of is actually dead.
Lin Mengya thought for a moment, then quietly gestured to her man, "Act as the situation arises."
Long Tianyu nodded gently.
The two of them clasped their hands and listened intently to what was going on over there.
The man wearing the dragon mask looked around and found some blood stains.
After the red monk cut off the head of the big black snake, he asked his men to throw their heads and bodies into the mire.
At this moment, I am afraid that I have sunk to the deepest level.
Even if it didn't, I'm afraid scavengers living in the swamp might have dragged it away.
You should know that such a big black snake is considered an excellent food for them.
So these people's plans today are destined to be disappointing.
The man took out a small hammer, carefully selected an area near the edge of the swamp where the big black snake lived, and started hammering it gently.
The rhythm of his beating had a certain pattern, and the others immediately made a pious salute because of his actions.
The man started singing while beating, and Lin Mengya listened for a few times.
No, I can’t quite understand it, and the other party’s voice is really hoarse and unpleasant. It must be some kind of special tune, and it has a mysterious flavor everywhere.
She remembered the mysterious rituals of a closed tribe that she had seen on TV before.
When people were ignorant, they believed that there were ghosts and gods in the world.
I believe that everything in this world is led by ghosts and gods. Even in modern times, things that cannot be explained by science will eventually be classified as miracles or divine punishment.
Although time travel has already happened to her, Lin Mengya is still a person who believes in science.
Especially this kind of sacrifice that harms people.
If her only letter Yes, her belief is that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
What the ancestors said is right, don’t do good deeds because they are small, and don’t do evil because they are small.
Even if a god that manifests itself by eating humans really exists in this world, it's probably not a serious god.
Especially their target should be the big black snake.
When she thought of the big black snake that died miserably, she couldn't help but sigh.
The gods this year are a bit weak!
Otherwise, how could someone cut off his head with a single knife?
The man had been chanting for several minutes, but they still didn't see the shadow of the god.
The leader was a little anxious.
He knocked again and sang a few words without giving up, but found that the big black snake still didn't appear. He couldn't help but stood up and looked anxiously in the direction of the cave.
Every time when the sacred song of sacrifice is halfway through, the god should appear. Why not this time? Could it be that the god is sick?
So, he looked at his companions.
"You go in and take a look at the situation."
His tone was a bit stiff, and although the words he spoke were indeed in a language that Lin Mengya could understand, its pronunciation was a bit strange.
It's like a person who hasn't spoken Chinese in many years suddenly speaks Chinese again.
The person he pointed to nodded and moved cautiously towards the direction of the cave.
However, they were very aware of the strength of this big black snake, so they did not get too close, but stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around.
What can you see when you stand there? You can only see the darkness inside.
But the man didn't go quickly, so he had to go back and discuss with his leader.
"Master Priest, is the god still resting? I see some traces of prey being dragged away around. Maybe some animals have strayed in here. Is the god full now?"
The leading priest thought about it and realized that it was not impossible.
But they must ask for help from the gods this time. After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe, but I'm afraid that someone will take the first step before me."
When he said this, the few people who followed him asked a few anxious questions.
It's just that this time they were chattering in a language that Lin Mengya didn't quite understand.
At this time, Long Tianyu gently squeezed her hand, "I should be with the scimitars from before."
He made a conclusion.
He had been following those people for so long, even though
Although I haven't learned their language, I can still hear the similarities.
What these people said was obviously very similar to what those scimitars said.
There may be some difference between this and this, but it doesn't matter.
The most important thing is that the two of them can be sure that these people and the scimitar man should come from the same place - the outside world!
Lin Mengya also didn't expect that there were so many people in this extraterrestrial realm.
But the more people they come, the more important it becomes.
Over there, the leader had raised his hand to signal his subordinates to quiet down.
"Everyone, don't panic." He still said in that crappy voice, "I just thought about it, there are not many people who know that there is a god here. And our most loyal believers have already prepared for Lord Sheng.
The slaves have been selected. They have been living at the foot of the mountain, guarding the peace of the god for us."
Lin Mengya thought about it for a while, hey! The slaves that the foreign priest mentioned are not the herb gatherers, right?
Then the identity of their so-called believers is ready to be revealed.
Besides those guys from the Presbyterian Church, who has the ability to trap these herb collectors here?
No wonder, Brother Zhu Wu said that their medicinal collectors have never thought of other ways to make a living.
But every time it ended in failure, not to mention that after being discovered by the group of people from the Presbyterian Church, they would increase their offerings.
It turns out that after a long time of turmoil, the people of the Presbyterian Church are really good at calculating things carefully.
Not only did they trap people here to serve a big black snake that can eat people, but they also "make the best use of everything" by letting them stay on the mountain and provide them with a steady stream of medicinal materials.
These old guys have hearts darker than ink!
Over there, after the foreign priest appeased his subordinates, he said, "I'm just afraid that people from the Umeng side will find out. They are the only ones who, besides us, know about the existence of the gods."
"And their priests haven't appeared for a long time. I originally thought that their lineage of priests had been lost."
These words made his men uneasy again.
So, someone suggested: "How can those rude guys from Umeng be favored by the gods?"
"If this is the case, then we will sacrifice them all to the gods!"
Proposals like this have become mainstream for several people.
It seems that they are planning to fight to the death with the so-called Umeng people.
Lin Mengya, who was hiding not far away and had a panoramic view of all this, looked in the direction of the cave.
Ting Yu means, if they have a conflict with this group of people later, the red monk will be very Probably the biggest obstacle.
And these people in front of me seemed to have high martial arts skills.
What if they can drive away tigers and devour wolves and kill people with borrowed knives?
Even if you can't get rid of the master Red Monk in one fell swoop, you can still do it if you can seriously injure him.
But what should she do to make the other party believe that the person inside is that Umeng person?
After all, she doesn’t even know what Umeng is!
So the two exchanged glances and roughly understood each other's intentions.
Very good, they thought of going together again this time.
Lin Mengya listened carefully and tried to collect some news about Umeng.
But those guys were probably not very proficient in using language, so they just kept repeating a few sentences over and over again.
In their words, the people of Umeng are extremely rude and should not be protected by Shenxing at all.
Also, these people have bad tempers and are very ugly. They are all ugly people with sinister faces.
Lin Mengya almost laughed out loud.
Forget the previous ones, what does the last sentence mean? Is it an attack on appearance?
Besides, they themselves don’t show their true colors to others.
He was covered tightly with a dragon mask. Maybe he looked weirder than the Umeng people they mentioned?
At this time, the man who was sent to the cave by the priest from outside the territory suggested, "Master Priest, I heard that the people in the Umeng are good at using scimitars and are brave and good at fighting. Do you want me to go out and find some foreign aid?"
What this person said, his accent was quite authentic, and it sounded different from those people.
"No need." The foreign priest waved his hand, "The people I brought this time are all very skilled. With them here, the group of people from the Umeng can't get any benefits at all."
"Oh, that's good." The man nodded and continued to be silent.
His status in this group of people does not seem to be high, so when the other party discussed it just now, his participation was not seen at all.
But Lin Mengya has already captured the key word "scimitar"!
Suddenly, her and Long Tianyu's eyes lit up.
So, the Wu Meng people this group of people are discussing are the same group of scimitars who were captured by Long Tianyu before?
If that were the case, then things would be much easier to handle.
Lin Mengya originally wanted to ask people to immediately find something that could prove that they were members of the Umeng, such as the scimitars they were good at using, so as to mislead the group of foreign priests.
But Long Tianyu felt that there was not enough time.
The people inside should be able to come out soon, so they have to hurry up.
