Chapter 529 Blood Sacrifice to the Sand Scorpion Queen
A team of thousands of people began to unload cargo, grain and move tools and got busy.
Of course, the grain should be stored in the largest cave at the bottom of the mountain. As for the large circle outside the cave entrance, earth and stone should be piled up to build fortifications. Once the outer circle is lost, then hide in the cave, with one man guarding the gate, and all insects can't get in.
At this time, the druids gathered in a group at the foot of the mountain to cast spells. When all the supplies were unloaded, their rituals were completed. Amidst the rumbling vibrations of the ground, a large stream of water as thick as a bucket came out.
The spring water rises into the sky, and the spring water gathers into a stream, flowing slowly towards the sea.
Brother’s water! Dali feels extremely distressed!
The elder smiled and said: "It is too difficult to find the low-lying land at the foot of the mountain that my friends are looking forward to, but it doesn't matter. After a long period of fountain erosion, a low-lying lake will naturally form here."
Dali sighed: "I'm lucky to have found such a cool cave!"
The elder nodded: "Now, everything that should be arranged in the camp has been arranged. It is time for us to place the nest of the Sand Scorpion Mother. After the placement is completed, we will go back. But don't worry, little friends, I will leave ten high-level Germans behind.
Rui is in charge of early warning and medical treatment here."
Dali was shocked: "Are you going back? Only ten druids are too few?"
The elder smiled and sighed: "That's quite a lot. There are only 500 high-level druids in the entire Silithus area. The council's secret operation removed 200, and the remaining 300 druids have to take care of Silithus City.
With the security of the desert oasis, the World Tree water channel, and more than a dozen outposts, it is already very difficult to deploy 10 people to stay behind. Moreover, my territory is not even a preliminary construction, and it is not the main target of the Zerg.
, with more than 600 mercenaries, it is already very stable."
Damn it, you said that the thinking of the Zerg cannot be speculated by common sense. God knows if they will go out of their way to wash me away? But the old man said the same thing. It is enough to give ten. There is no point in forcing it.
Dali asked: "Then where should we place the insect nest?"
The elder said: "Of course it is in the center of the territory. The Zerg is a species that pays great attention to symmetry and balance. The irregularity of the territory will make the mother insect feel uncomfortable. Moreover, the sand scorpion is no better than the sand worm and cannot dig in areas with many stones.
Hole."
Dali nodded: "I see, then I'll have a few words with Mudin Khan, and then I'll be busy preparing for territory construction."
He vigorously found Mudin Khan who was directing the mercenaries to dig trenches at the entrance of the cave.
Mudin Khan patted his chest and said: "Sir, oh, Mr. Lord, please rest assured, although we are all wandering mercenaries, we can swear in the name of Olibato that we will definitely fulfill the contract and stick to our posts!"
The dwarves said: "That's right! Brother Mudin Khan has a word, please don't worry!"
It’s so comfortable to deal with dwarves!
He patted Mudin Khan vigorously on the shoulder: "Hero, it all depends on you. As long as we survive this initial difficult period, you will be the biggest contributors. I will double the commission to reward everyone! If this territory of mine becomes a grain-producing oasis in the future
, a fertile land, I will issue you with the first-class honorary citizen qualification certificate of this city. If you want to come and play and live here in the future, I warmly welcome you!"
Mudin Khan said: "Thank you, Mr. Lord, for your kindness!"
It's better not to say anything about direct solicitation now, otherwise the dwarf will speak bluntly and just say "This is a terrible place, I won't come even if you ask me to come", which would be meaningless and hurt your self-esteem.
After finishing the explanation, Dali and the elder's team headed back with ten beasts of burden.
Without the burden of supplies, the return journey was much faster. After half a day, the group of people arrived at the center of Thunder Oasis, a vast desert.
The elder said: "We're here, this is the place where the insect nest is placed! Let's start setting up the ceremony now!"
A group of druids took out their bags of spellcasting materials and drew a huge magic circle on the sand.
The elder took out a brown oval stone covered with spikes as big as a rugby ball and said to Dali: "This is the egg of the Sand Scorpion Queen. This is my little friend's territory, and it will also be its territory. You need to establish a blood alliance.
To coexist peacefully, the child will hold the egg and stand in the center of the circle. Once the ceremony begins, the child will grasp the egg tightly and prick the palm with the sharp thorns on the egg without letting go. The egg will absorb the child's blood and hatch.
The more it absorbs, the better the relationship with the child will be!"
It was another bloody acknowledgment. He nodded vigorously: "I understand!"
The elder said: "Then, little friend, go and take your place."
Standing in the middle of the magic circle, Dali found that the ten thunder giant lizards were also driven to ten positions of the magic circle and stood there. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Elder, what is this?"
The elder shook his head and said seriously: "This is a very important ceremony. Little friend, close your eyes, don't look at anything, don't speak, and definitely don't move!"
After Dali heard what he said solemnly, he closed his eyes and sat still.
The elder shouted in his ears: "The ceremony begins! Blood sacrifice!"
Dali clamped hard with both hands! The spikes pierced the palm directly and came out through the back! Digging, it turned out to be so sharp! Fortunately, it was a game!
——System prompt: You have started the blood alliance ceremony with the Sand Scorpion Queen. The current progress of the ceremony is 0.1%.
Dali's blood began to drop rapidly! The ceremony also progressed slowly at 1%, 2%, and 3%. There was only the chanting of the druids in his ears. Dali felt that his whole body was getting colder and colder. Did he lose too much blood? It's okay, brother.
Even if it falls to level 0, it will still be a boss-level blood cow, which is ridiculous.
When Dali's blood dropped to 50%, the deafening wail of the Thunder Giant Lizard suddenly came to his ears!
Dali's heart was so shocked that he could hardly help but open his eyes! Calm down! Calm down! Brother, time traveler, you are so weird!
At this time, Dali's blood began to drop rapidly, and the progress of the ceremony suddenly accelerated, 40%! 50%! 60%! The deafening wail in his ears turned into a helpless wail, and then silent sobbing...
Dali has already understood the tragic fate of these aging giant beasts. Think about it, how can such a large-scale blood sacrifice ceremony be passed without sacrificing living animals? Finally, he understands why the elders told them this was a secret beforehand. It turns out that he is following an evil path!
80%!90%!99%!99.9%!
At this moment, Dali's life hangs on a thread, Elder! Brother is going to die! Why is this ritual stuck at 99.9%!
The elder roared loudly in my ears!
——Pop! The sound of the eggshell breaking! Dali let go of his hands, only to feel a soft and slippery ball of flesh slipping from his hands.
——System prompt: You have completed the blood alliance ceremony with the Sand Scorpion Queen! Your compatibility with the Sand Scorpion Queen has reached an intimate level!
So intimate?! Dali couldn't help but finally opened his eyes, and saw that the sand in front of him was squirming! Burrowed into the ground? Brother, I still don't know what you look like?
The elders and the druids shouted loudly: "Perfect success!!!"
The elder stepped forward and said excitedly: "As expected of you, little friend! I never thought that we could achieve 100% perfection! In our plan, if we can achieve 50%, it is a success!"
