Zhao Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.
Then, he walked down the mountain looking for the breath of the pirates. Here, his consciousness was liberated and he could already feel the breath of the group of people in front of him.
"Um?"
Zhao Xuan's mind suddenly moved, he turned on the environment simulation to hide his figure and walked forward.
The road going down the mountain is very narrow and is close to a cliff. If you look to the side at random, you will see an abyss of thousands of meters. The fine falling rocks will not make a sound.
After turning a corner, I found a big tree and boulders ahead, with two sneaky figures hiding behind them.
"Flas, what do you think, captain, they asked us to keep an eye on? Will there be anyone else here besides us?"
Zhao Xuan was already approaching the two of them, but they could not see him. The two of them were staring at the path that Zhao Xuan had just walked while chatting in low voices.
"Who knows, they might be the two people who disappeared on the boat just now."
"The entire ship has been searched. Are they still on the ship? They must have jumped off the ship long ago..."
Zhao Xuan was very close to them, but they could not see him at all. Zhao Xuan's eyes were indifferent. The captain was a cautious and vigilant person, but his efforts were all in vain.
With a wave of his hand, two purple sky divine thunders swept past, and the two pirates who were close at hand turned into two smoky balls of coke without even letting out a scream.
Zhao Xuan glanced at the two lumps of charcoal on the ground, and then continued to follow, without any sympathy in his heart.
…
The vast grassland is like a turquoise ocean, the breeze blows, and the grass is as green as waves.
On the vast grassland, countless soul beasts are playing happily. The number and variety are so large that they are not inferior to those in the Star Forest.
The pirates turned a blind eye and continued to move forward with the travelers. After the initial fear, the travelers were slightly relieved when they found that the spirit beasts did not attack them.
Only Zhao Xuan knew that these soul beasts were all composed of spiritual consciousness, and without the control of their masters, they did not pose the slightest threat.
Not long after, they crossed the vast grassland and came to the jungle on the edge. The trees in the jungle were far less tall than those in the Star Forest, so the castle in the dense forest was particularly conspicuous.
The captain and the first mate next to him looked at each other, took a deep breath and urged the "sacrifice" to move forward, but their faces were undoubtedly much more serious at this moment.
Zhao Xuan followed the team, then frowned and looked at the castle in the jungle.
"I have an unknown premonition..."
Those travelers seemed to have a premonition that the strange castle was the "end" of their trip. They began to resist crazily one by one, but as the pirates' soul rings flickered one by one, their resistance was in vain.
Outside the jungle, there is a river of blood. The pirates don't seem to pay attention to the integrity of the "sacrifice", they only care about whether they are alive, so they are very heavy-handed. They smile ferociously, holding long knives and axes transformed by martial spirits in their hands.
Swing it down hard.
Such cruel and ferocious methods frightened the others to turn pale. After a while, they all gave up resistance and were too frightened to move.
The captain withdrew his martial spirit with a cold expression, then glanced at the wailing passengers lying on the ground, turned around and continued walking into the jungle.
"I thought your bones were so hard! Take them and go in!"
A group of people got into the jungle. The distance from the jungle to the castle was very close. It didn't take long for a group of people to arrive outside the castle.
The outer walls of the castle are made of unknown materials. They are pitch black and look very cold and damp. Even if the sun is shining brightly outside, there is still a chilling feeling here.
Zhao Xuan followed the pirates into the castle. When he first entered the castle, there was only a deep corridor. The candles on the walls were burning, and the orange light illuminated the road.
Chaotic footsteps sounded in this weird castle, and soon a group of people came to the hall of the castle.
Right in front of the hall, a tall throne stood quietly, but there was no one on it.
The captain shouted to the people behind him: "Bring them all up!"
The crew members pushed the kidnapped passengers one by one to the center of the hall, huddled together, wailing and cursing, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.
Then, the captain knelt down in front of the tall throne, his forehead touching the ground, and said: "Great God of Souls, your servants offer sacrifices to you, and beg you to give me strength..."
Behind him, the pirates also knelt down and said enthusiastically towards the empty throne: "The great God of Souls..."
The passengers huddled together in the center of the hall were stunned with fear. Listening to the pirates praying in unison, they felt their heads were spinning and infinite fear arose in their hearts.
God of souls? God?!
Sacrifice, they are actually sacrifices?!
The hall fell into an eerie silence, with only the sound of heavy breathing coming from time to time.
"call!"
Abruptly, the candlelight around the hall suddenly turned into a faint blue color, and a figure suddenly appeared on the empty throne.
There seemed to be an invisible fog surrounding that figure, making his face invisible.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the figure on the throne. The captain couldn't help but tremble, and then his forehead dropped even lower.
Although the appearance of the figure cannot be seen clearly, everyone can see his eyes clearly. They are a pair of blue eyes, as deep and beautiful as the sea, as beautiful as the sky, as if they have penetrated all the fog and penetrated to the deepest part.
Clear.
But there seemed to be wisps of tiny black lines outside these clear eyes, sealing all their clarity.
"good."
A gentle voice echoed in the empty hall, but strangely, this gentle voice made people's hearts chill after falling into their ears.
"But...is the person behind you also a sacrifice?"
The gentle voice sounded again, and the captain and first mate suddenly changed their expressions. They seemed to have remembered something and looked behind them.
However, the corridor behind was empty, not even a single person.
"Aren't you going to come out?"
The gentle voice sounded a little playful, and then the candlelight in the hall suddenly swayed, but it was not caused by the wind.
Zhao Xuan knew that this was a spiritual attack method!
The invisible storm of consciousness swept across, and no one else in the hall felt anything, but Zhao Xuan felt like he was facing a violent and huge wave.
The consciousness that maintained the simulation of the environment was destroyed by this invisible storm of consciousness. Zhao Xuan's figure was revealed, but purple-gold thunder suddenly appeared around him, entangled with the storm of consciousness.
The purple sky divine thunder flashed, the light was dazzling, and the roaring sound of thunder echoed throughout the hall.
The passengers were trembling, and even the captain and first mate, who wanted to find out Zhao Xuan, changed their expressions.
"Damn it, why did you get such a person here this time!"
The captain cursed secretly in his heart, but did not dare to take any action. Based on the situation at the scene, he already knew that this was not something he could intervene in.
"A divine consciousness with the attribute of thunder? It's interesting. In my impression, there is no such god. Who are you? A new god?"
The owner of the voice was sitting on a tall throne. He was not surprised at all by Zhao Xuan's storm of consciousness that destroyed him. Instead, he asked with great interest.
Zhao Xuan was silent, but his face had completely darkened, trouble...
