The dense cold mist shrouded the branches, covering up the hazy moonlight. Only a few stars shone in the swamp full of filth and stench, and a corner of the altar shrouded in darkness was vaguely revealed. It was filled with blood and terrifying red.
.
"It hurts, Kakun, that human, I want to eat her!"
The sounds of apes communicating came from the darkness, but those with dark vision would find that there were two creatures, one tall and one short, standing next to the dilapidated altar bathed in blood springs, and behind them there was a kneeling creature.
A large group of creatures wearing uniform black robes.
The tall one has black wings, stands more than two meters tall when standing upright, and has an extremely terrifying ape head. The black mane tightly surrounds its neck and continues to spread downwards.
As for the short one, he is a creature wearing a blood-red robe. Judging from the wrinkled and hairless hands and the protruding thick lips under the red hood, he should be some kind of ape, and he is very old and can speak.
The voice was old and lifeless, with a vicissitudes and ancient flavor.
"No, she is my lord's sacrifice."
This short old ape has a stronger aura than the flying ape in his prime, and his words are filled with an undeniable sense of oppression. While saying this, he is shaking his staff and attacking the flying ape.
Treat large and small wounds on the body.
But maybe he realized that he still needed to appease the flying ape, so he added another sentence.
"When everything is over, I can leave her bones to you."
Flying Monkey likes to collect bones from opponents as trophies, especially skulls and finger bones. The former can be stacked into seats, and the latter can be strung into bracelets or necklaces for decoration.
But even so, the flying ape still didn't seem satisfied. It raised its ferocious face that was scratched by a slender knife mark, resulting in one eye, and roared in a voice that was almost a growl.
"Kakun! That is your master, not mine!"
"I am not negotiating with you, she is my prey, no one is allowed to take her away!"
Perhaps it was the pain caused by the body, or the humiliation in the memory, that made this strong flying ape pace particularly irritably, its arms as thick as stone pillars shaking back and forth restlessly, and the knuckles even creaked.
Crisp sound.
Faced with Fei Yuan's high-pitched voice that could reach up to 12 miles away, the rickety figure wrapped in a rough red robe slowly inserted the staff in his hand, which was shaped like twin snakes, into the stone on the altar floor.
In the gap between them, let it stand on the edge of the altar, and after that it complemented the two snake-shaped towers at the highest point of the altar and the skull-shaped sculptures on the top, and then slowly took off the hood and raised the
The old man with no hair on his face spoke.
"Sebas, how long have we known each other?"
After hearing this, Fei Yuan stopped his wandering pace, seemed to think seriously for a moment, and replied contemptuously.
"I don't remember. I just remember that when I saw you, you couldn't even use a bow."
"But it's precisely because you can't use a bow that you become the tribal priest, huh."
Faced with the ridicule, the old man-eating ape priest did not show any displeasure, but instead showed a look of nostalgia on his face.
"But I remember that fifty-two winters ago in the Whispering Forest, at the waterfall in the south, even though the number of tribesmen in my tribe at that time did not exceed a hundred, I envied you very much at that time, Sebas."
"Envy me? Don't be kidding, Kakun, this is far more outrageous than humans falling in love with me. At that time, I was just a wretch who was driven out of the tribe, a weakling who failed in competition."
"And you, by that time, had become a respected ruler of the tribe."
Hearing the words of his long-time friend, Sebas, the notorious flying ape on this business road in the Whispering Forest, showed some confusion. The fangs on his lips were half-opened and half-closed due to his anger.
It was once a chief candidate. After being expelled from the rainforest and choosing to settle in the Whispering Forest, it rarely recalled the past.
"But I do envy you. I have never lied to you."
The old man-eating ape priest turned his head and looked at the group of tribesmen who were prostrate outside the altar, their bodies half submerged in the swamp. When his gaze swept across, the response was always a humble and drooped head, and his eyes.
Despite the enthusiasm that cannot be concealed, its heart feels indescribably tired at this time.
"It doesn't matter if you're envious, it's everyone's destiny. I also envied your life when I was down."
"No matter what, she must give it to me!"
"My people also lost several people, this is compensation!"
Sebastian was terribly paranoid at the moment, and he didn't relent just because he was playing the emotional card. However, their cooperation had been like this many times. Every time they divided it up, they would have a quarrel over the distribution of the spoils, and soon they would have a fight.
Reconciled as before.
After all, they all know how lucky they are to have an ally watching and helping each other in this vast dense forest.
Sure enough, when the words it spoke were finally followed by a leisurely sigh after a long while, Sebas understood that his old friend had compromised.
"Okay! She belongs to you..."
As if he had figured it out, the cannibal priest Kakun no longer dwelled on the sacrifices and quickly returned to the topic.
Asked directly.
"How is the battle situation in other directions?"
As a priest who has been concentrating on building the shrine and altar, it has exhausted all its energy to deal with the spell caster in the town. It knows far less about the attack and defense in other directions in Green Brook Town than this close friend in front of it.
It came clearly.
"The west has been completely conquered, but the south is in a stalemate. The group of goblin mercenaries in the north are still building fortifications... Where did you find these strange things..."
Seeing that Kakun is no longer obsessed with sacrifices, Sebas will naturally not ignore the current situation and continue to ask for more. He only asks within the scope of what he can ask for. If he asks for it arbitrarily, the two alliances will
The contact between the two will soon be terminated, and there is always something to give, so in return for some support and news, it answered very professionally, telling it everything Kakun wanted to know in a few words.
"That's great. It's worthy of a dragon's vision. None of the eagles in our clan have such good vision as yours, Sebas."
"You really don't look old! Just like when you were young."
"Ho ho."
After hearing Sebastian's reply, the man-eating ape priest's words contained a bit of praise and lament.
Although the origins of cannibals and flying apes seem to be related to spellcasters' magic experiments, different experimental results have also revealed the essential differences between the two species, such as lifespan.
A normal flying ape has a lifespan of more than two hundred years. Fifty years is, at best, just enough time for it to move from youth to middle age. Evening has not yet come, but for the man-eating ape, it is enough for a baby to fall to the ground.
, becoming a rare elderly person in the tribe.
Seeing the cloudy eyes of his old friend going back and forth, Sebastian's heartstrings were touched for some reason.
The furious mood gradually calmed down. After all, it suddenly realized that the time of this old friend in front of it seemed to be running out. After this battle, in a few winters, it should not be the one in charge of this tribe!
So his tone softened a little.
"Don't worry, isn't your master very powerful? When the time comes, he will let him replace the blood in your body with a higher level. Undead creatures are not bad, but when we meet, I'm afraid I can't help but stuff your head under my butt.
Ha ha ha ha."
Having said this, Sebastian couldn't help but reveal his unique hearty and weird smile. This kind of teasing has appeared many times in the past years, and he didn't stop it this time. Anyway, as the nominal flying gorilla,
Most of Sebastian's life was spent wallowing back and forth in the ravine of satisfying his desires. He was either robbing or on the road to reproduction and never returned. This was his natural personality.
The cannibal priest Kakun didn't show any anger, he just glanced at the black spring where blood was still flowing, and said helplessly.
"But then I will no longer be a man-eating ape. Although I have become stronger, but for my people..."
It looked at the believers huddled in various places in the swamp, with a little nostalgia in its cloudy pupils.
"What's the point..."
"I don't understand what you are thinking. Becoming stronger and changing your body is nothing. My current pair of wings are not the result of mutations from my ancestors."
Sebas, who is well aware of the history of flying monkeys, does not think that mutation is a bad thing. Instead, he thinks that if the race can be continued, making the bloodline stronger and better is a good thing.
Kakun just smiled when he heard the words of the flying ape in front of him.
However, this smile made the wrinkles on his face that were already accumulated in his eyes become more dense, and the loose skin with dark spots was squeezed together, as if it was a face covered with black pores that were magnified dozens of times.
"It's almost time, you should go first! The female mage gave it to you, and I have to prepare the sacrifice for my lord..."
For some reason, Sebas felt that Kakun's tone was different from before when he said this. The low voice was like the dark wind blowing from a deep cave, which made people feel chilly in their hearts.
"OK."
Although he was confused, Sebastian couldn't ask so many questions. After all, the sacrifices were nothing more than a mirror, and Green Brook Town had not yet been completely conquered. So after feeling that the wound was no longer painful, it planned to spread its wings and fight with that town again.
The casters among them fight again.
However, this time, when he instinctively opened his wings, he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the base of the wings on his back, causing him to grimace in pain.
"What's going on! Kakun! Help me take a look..."
It instinctively sought help from its best friend, but when it lowered its head and saw the irresistible smile on the face of the cannibal priest, it trembled all over and its eyes suddenly shrank.
"Did...you do it?"
"Why……"
Flying Ape Sebastian wanted to step forward and catch this hairless ape that was so short that it was only as thick as his arm, but he found that its movements were staggering, and as it moved, its vision began to blur, and seven or eight things appeared in front of it.
A ghost of Kakuen.
Bang.
Its center of gravity finally lost its balance, and its four- to five-hundred-pound body finally fell to the ground with a splash of blood. However, its eyes were still fixed on the red robe not far away.
"Kakun! Kakun..."
The low growl that came out of its lips allowed one to clearly feel the mood of this huge beast, which was unwilling and angry, confused and confused.
But all of this, Kakun kept watching with cold eyes, until he fell to the ground and couldn't move, then he sighed leisurely.
"Stop struggling, my old friend. I originally wanted to deal with you later and let you live a little longer."
"But you are so ungrateful that you dare to touch my lord's sacrifice, Sebastian. This is an unforgivable sin!"
Kakun looked piously at the kingdom with twin snakes circling above him, as well as the ape skull enshrined at the top, with fanatical eyes and a solemn tone.
Hearing Kakun's response, even though Sebas was paralyzed by the strange toxin, he couldn't help but open his clenched fists due to pain, hammered the ground hard, and roared like a beast because of betrayal.
.
"Let the sacrificial ceremony begin!"
Kakun once again held the double-headed snake staff that was standing upright on the altar and allowed the blood to wash away at the root. He first turned to the large number of tribe believers behind him and said, then turned and knelt down and whispered in this
Tobiru, whose head had completely lost control of his body, said in his ear.
"You will get what you want later, Sebas."
"She will be dedicated to my Lord together in your arms!"
"Look, I didn't lie to you!"
"So, rest in peace!"
"My best friend!"
After saying that, it didn't care about the ferocious expression on Sebastian's face, stood up directly, opened its arms, and began to chant a spell loudly.
——"Devil's Touch!"
In all directions of the altar, four or five twisted tentacles that were all black and red suddenly emerged from the blood. Each tentacle was as thick as a flying ape's arm. The tentacles converged under the flying ape's body and lifted it up until it rose.
It reached the top of the entire altar, and then revealed its fangs.
The end of a tentacle protruded its sharp mouthparts, and it pierced into the body of this strong beast, and began to suck the blood from the body. The whole body quickly turned from black to red.
The first root, the second root...the fifth root.
When all the tentacles plunged into Fei Yuan's body, the bloody water around the altar was like a flood that had opened its gates. The flow rate was more than doubled, and the nearby swamp puddles and soil were dyed bright red.
And as the blood soaked in it, the believers behind Kakun also began to sing hymns in praise of Demogorgon. Under the guidance of a tacit understanding, the believers began to catch each other in pairs, destroying and ravaging each other's bodies at will.
Unleashing the evil and cruelty unique to the abyss into this land, the black robes were torn off, and the scars on the skin of each cannibal were shocking. What's more, there were several healed scars on the skull, which were presented by Demogorgon.
The most cruel form of sacrifice is "self-eating", a cruel ritual that requires opening a hard skull to perform.
Soon, amid the waves of fanatical believers, the mud in the swamp began to squirm, and four coffins side by side slowly rose from the swamp.
When it rises completely.
Kakun also couldn't wait to sing the final summoning auxiliary words.
"Awake! Glory to my Lord!"
What it wants to summon this time is the most terrifying and infamous creation of the demon lord Demogorgon.
