"No, that's not a mountain, that's an ancient giant beast."
Chen Shaojun said in a deep voice. As soon as his voice fell, ripples could not help but appear in his heart.
Ancient beasts once occupied the dominant position of the three realms in the long history. They were physically powerful. Even the barbarian warriors who are now praised are as insignificant as ants in front of those ancient beasts.
At the same time, the ancient beasts are naturally powerful and tyrannical. For a long time, they have been feared by everyone. Especially in the ancient times, the thirty-six heavenly gangs and the seventy-two earth evil beasts were the pinnacle existences among the ancient beasts.
Their magical powers are even more terrifying and powerful than those of strong humans.
But later, with the prosperity of human beings, these ancient beasts were constantly eliminated. Their essence, bones, blood, and cores were all hunted by warriors and used as top materials for cultivation. Moreover, the number of human warriors was far greater than that of ancient beasts.
More and more, gradually with the emergence of human dynasties and empires, millions and tens of millions of warrior armies gradually made these powerful ancient beasts gradually withdraw from the stage of history.
Now, the numerous ancient beasts and ferocious beasts that once flourished in the human world have disappeared completely. Only some small spaces, small dimensions outside the human world, and some places in the outer world still exist.
Hold some.
Today's human world is truly the world of mankind. In empires such as the Great Shang Dynasty, the Great Wen Kingdom, and the Lieyang Dynasty, the so-called ancient beasts have long become legends and have gradually been forgotten by everyone.
But Chen Shaojun didn't expect that these giant beasts that had only existed in ancient books would actually appear in the wild continent, and judging from the harmony between them and the barbarians, these giant beasts had obviously been tamed by them.
clang!
Wave after wave of melodious ancient musical instruments unique to the barbarians sounded in the night. Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo hid in the barbarian sacred tree. Looking down from a high position, they saw the night and raised the huge barbarian war flags one after another.
The entire barbarian camp reflected an incomparable mystery.
In just a moment, surrounded by countless people, the barbarian high priest in golden robes and a group of barbarian wizards slowly stepped forward, and finally reached the huge statue of the barbarian god in front of the sacred tree.
The bonfire was blazing, oh, in the night, thousands of barbarian warriors looked wildly, and each one raised their necks and roared like beasts into the night, seeming to express their worship and belief in the barbarian gods in this way.?
"The sacrifice begins!"
In the darkness of the night, Chen Shaojun saw the barbarian high priest throwing up the long golden bone staff in his hand, and the ups and downs of his voice echoed throughout the world.
Next, the entire barbarian camp turned into a sea of joy. Phew, Chen Shaojun saw huge bonfires rising in the night.
Those were no ordinary bonfires. Each bonfire was twenty or thirty meters high, and the scorching waves of fire shot straight into the sky, as if they were going to burn the entire sky.
Later, Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo saw many barbarian warriors with special tattoos on their faces, wearing hats and turbans with paintings of ancient animals, forests, and mountains. They were howling and yelling in the firelight, and at the same time dancing special barbarian dances.
dance.
Chen Shaojun couldn't understand it either, but he could tell that it seemed to be an ancient war dance that worshiped the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
The orgy lasted for a long time.
While reveling in the carnival, Chen Shaojun saw tens of thousands of warriors with fanatical eyes, shouting wildly in barbarian language, and prostrate themselves to the tall barbarian god statue in front of the sacred tree. They kept kneeling down and prostrated themselves. Even the air was filled with
A crazy smell.
Even the giant barbarian high priest, with his golden mask looking slightly crazy, seemed to be completely immersed in this crazy atmosphere.
"These lunatics! Why do I feel like they are just like those cultists?"
Xiaowo hid beside Chen Shaojun, looked down, and whispered.
Most of the sacrificial activities were solemn, solemn, and even sacred, but this sacrificial ceremony by the barbarians made the hair stand on end. The madness was really too abnormal.
"Oh, you'll get used to it."
Chen Shaojun just smiled when he heard this.
"In this era of the decline of the divine world, most religious worship involves so-called gods, and most of them are like this."
He was quite used to it.
And below, with the actions of the celebration, it finally started to get down to business——
"Prepare the sacrifice!"
There was silence around the sacred tree. Following the orders of the barbarian high priest, the originally carnival crowd around them also became quiet.
"Here comes the main event!"
Within the barrier of the barbarian holy tree, Xiaowo was hiding there and was originally drowsy. When he heard the word "sacrifice", his whole body suddenly became excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His eyes were sharp and energetic, which was in stark contrast to before.
Compared.
"Is there any more treasure?"
Chen Shaojun on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This guy, the last sentence is the key point.
However, soon, a rumbling sound of shaking mountains came from the ground, which immediately attracted his attention. Just after the night, there were ancient giants like mountain peaks that had been standing behind the barbarian army, hiding in the darkness.
The beast seemed to be driven forward slowly by some kind of force.
"What are they going to do?"
Chen Shaojun squinted his eyes slightly, secretly curious in his heart.
However, it only lasted a moment. Ouch, accompanied by waves of roars that shook the sky and the earth, Chen Shaojun suddenly saw one of the giant beasts emitting a blazing light that was as bright as the scorching sun.
At first there was only one, but soon there were two, three, four..., one after another in the dark night, like an infection, all the giant beasts began to burst out with dazzling flames.
The dazzling light almost turned the entire night into day.
The roar of the giant beast became louder and louder, almost piercing people's eardrums.
"!!!"
Seeing this sudden scene, not to mention Xiaowo on the side, even Chen Shaojun was stunned.
This is the first time that even a well-informed person like Chen Shaojun has encountered such a strange scene.
The blazing flames outlined the ferocious and ferocious faces of all the giant beasts from the darkness, but soon, against the light, Chen Shaojun seemed to see something, and his eyes narrowed sharply.
"That is--"
With the help of the blazing light that seemed to spontaneously ignite on the giant beasts, Chen Shaojun could clearly see that on the solid and thick rock-like bodies of those giant beasts, ancient and mysterious blue-black mysterious patterns and patterns were engraved one after another.
runes.
"It's a witchcraft circle!"
Chen Shaojun's eyes jumped sharply.
Chen Shaojun is no longer unfamiliar with this kind of thing. Although it is rare to see magic circles carved with witchcraft, the green and black tattoos on them and the aura flowing out of them are definitely witchcraft.
"This is what they call a sacrifice."
Chen Shaojun's eyelids twitched, and he seemed to understand something at that moment, and fell into a long silence.
Previously, Chen Shaojun had seen the huge, spiritually powerful wild and exotic fruits that they had collected. However, now it seems that to the barbarians, these fruits that are just picked up naturally from the nature of heaven and earth are not enough.
Not enough to express their worship and belief in the Barbarian God, they actually used these ancient and powerful beasts as sacrifices to the Barbarian God.
In just a moment, with the strong wind howling, Chen Shaojun saw white ripples spreading out in the void, centered on one ancient behemoth as huge as a mountain peak after another, rippling like water waves, radiating in all directions.
.
And within the bodies of these giant beasts, accompanied by bursts of painful roars, Chen Shaojun suddenly saw one after another large and small milky-white light spots seeping out from their bodies. The densely packed milky-white light spots were in the void.
It gathered into a blazing rain of light, and then, as if attracted by something, it gathered directly in front of thousands of barbarian warriors - the huge blue-black statue of the barbarian god.
The wind was getting louder and louder, and it was becoming less and less peaceful. However, the area where the statue of the barbarian god was located was calm and quiet. As a large number of white light spots penetrated into it, Chen Shaojun suddenly saw the originally lifeless statue.
The barbarian god statue also buzzed as if it had been stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and suddenly burst out with blazing light from the inside out.
The originally green-black statue suddenly became translucent, vaguely possessing some kind of divinity.
When Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo, who were restricted by the holy tree barrier, saw this scene, they were also stunned and speechless.
"This, this is so crazy, these guys are actually using the souls of giant beasts to sacrifice to the barbarian gods!"
Xiaowo said with a shocked look on his face, obviously like Chen Shaojun, he also saw the clues.
These ancient giant beasts have survived far longer than humans or barbarians. The longer the beasts live, the more powerful their souls are. To a certain extent, this also means that they are better than humans.
of sacrifices.
This is why the human soul is just a halo, while the souls of these giant beasts look like a storm. Not only that, although they seem to be suffering from some severe pain, everyone can see clearly in the darkness.
All the giant beasts stood in place, quietly waiting for their fate of being sacrificed. Not a single giant beast struggled to escape.
Obviously, all these giant beasts have been perfectly tamed by the barbarian wizards.
It was quiet in the night, but unlike Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo who were swaying in the center of the sacred tree space, which was extremely shocking, the barbarian warriors around them had wild eyes and were getting more and more excited.
However, at this moment, Chen Shaojun and Xiaowo obviously had no intention of paying attention to them. They were both favoring each other, and all their attention was focused on the huge statue of the wild god in front of the holy tree.
With the passage of time, and with the infusion of a large number of giant beast souls as sacrifices, the light of this barbarian god statue, which was originally just a dead object, became stronger and brighter, but it was different from the giant beasts.
The light on the body is bright and soft, far less dazzling, but the sacred aura of the statue itself is getting stronger and stronger, and the whole process of sacrifice seems to be given life.
