As soon as he thought of this, Ye Chen felt that there was a surge of anger in his body, and he stepped forward to save the girl.
"Wait!"
Xuanyuan Xiu's voice rang in his mind, stopping Ye Chen's movements, and said in a deep voice: "This girl is a member of the Qingyi tribe. Now, the entire tribe is having a carnival and wants to dedicate her to the river as a sacrifice."
God comes here to pray for good luck in the coming year. This thing seems absurd in our eyes, but in their eyes, it is extremely sacred."
Hearing this, Ye Chen's body trembled and he immediately understood everything.
The River God Festival has existed in the Qingyi tribe for hundreds, even thousands of years, and has never changed.
Even if Ye Chen rescued the girl, she would soon be used as a sacrifice to the River God. What she was facing now was the entire Green Wing Tribe and the legend of the River God.
"Then what should we do now?" Ye Chen asked. The legend of the River God has been circulating in the Qingyi tribe for too long and has become deeply ingrained. No matter how sharp his words are, it is impossible for them to give up the festival.
"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. If you want to save this girl, you can only do it from the River God." Xuanyuan Xiu pointed to the front. At this time, the wooden sedan was lifted up by four strong men and went straight.
Went into the dense forest.
Ye Chen immediately followed him, hiding in the darkness, as if he were a ghost from the night, so that no one could notice it.
Xuanyuan Xiu left the Kun Pig Totem, appeared next to Ye Chen, and asked: "You and this girl are just acquaintances, and you can't even be called friends. Why would you go to such trouble to save her life?"
Along the way, Xuanyuan Xiu also learned a lot about Ye Chen's character. He expressed surprise at Ye Chen's sudden attack.
"I'm not too sure. Maybe it's because I also have a younger sister." Ye Chen replied after thinking for a moment.
When he first saw this girl, he subconsciously thought of Ye Yao. When he talked to her, this feeling became stronger and stronger, which made Ye Chen curious.
Moreover, this girl has a simple nature and has reminded Ye Chen to leave here many times, which shows that she has a kind heart.
Such a woman, who was in her prime of life, was to be sacrificed to the so-called river god. Ye Chen didn't want to see this happen, so he took action to stop her.
After finishing speaking, Ye Chen thought that Xuanyuan Xiu would scold him, but unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Xiu actually praised him: "You are walking the path of guardianship, to protect the people in your heart and your beloved. When you see this girl
, naturally I thought of your sister, and taking action for this reason is in line with your true intentions."
"But according to the rules, what you just did was too reckless. You must keep calm at all times, otherwise, it may be counterproductive and detrimental to both parties." Xuanyuan Xiu is like a teacher, always teaching Ye Chen and letting Ye Chen
There was a trace of shame on his face, and he silently kept these words in his heart.
The speed of the wooden sedan was not very fast, and every time it walked, it had to stop for a while. As it went back and forth, the scorching sun began to sink down the western mountains, and the sky gradually became bleak.
"fall!"
The four big men carrying the sedan shouted at the same time, stopped, and slowly lowered the wooden sedan.
At this moment, they had passed through the forest and came to an open space. In front of them, there was an extremely wide long river. The water was rolling and rushing, and the sound of the waves hitting the river bank was like the roar of wild beasts, which was extremely scary.
"Xiaoyu, we will send you here. When the full moon rises, the River God will appear in front of you. No matter what he does, you cannot resist, otherwise, our tribe will face
A huge disaster." Someone warned.
"Being able to be a sacrifice for the River God is considered your luck, accept it with all your heart." Another person interjected.
The four big men were discussing with each other. The sound was so loud that Ye Chen could hear it clearly even from a distance of nearly a hundred meters, and anger could not help but appear on his face.
These four people are so shameless. They are all members of the Qingyi tribe. Not only do they have no mercy for the girl, they also tell her not to resist, let alone leave. They must wait quietly for the river god to appear, and be swallowed in one gulp.
Chinese food.
"I understand all this. Don't worry, I won't resist for the sake of the clan." A forced smile appeared on the girl's face. She didn't want to be a sacrifice, let alone die, but she was unable to resist the destiny of the clan.
, can only obey.
Not long after, the four big men left one after another.
At this time, the night is getting darker, and the entire mountain range is shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see the scene in front of you clearly, and you can only hear the increasingly fierce sound of the water waves.
The girl sat quietly on the wooden sedan, her body trembling because of fear, and her eyes looked around confusedly.
suddenly
The sound of water waves disappeared, and under the girl's astonished gaze, a flash of light bloomed from the Styx, like a bright starry sky and the Milky Way, slowly extending in front of her.
"What a lovely girl, could you be this year's sacrifice?" A charming female voice sounded at this time, making the girl's eyes narrow slightly.
I saw in front, the water of the Styx River parted, and a passage appeared. A charming woman wearing moon-white tassels was slowly walking forward. On her face, there was a faint smile, as if she was not there.
The fairy who eats the fireworks of the world.
But if you look closely, you can see that the eyes of this charming woman are shining with greed.
"Are you the River God?" The girl raised her head and stared into the charming woman's eyes. Suddenly, she felt that her eyes became blurred and her body stood up uncontrollably.
"Good boy, come with me." The charming woman raised her eyebrows, and the girl walked to her side obediently, her eyes dull, and she was apparently unconscious.
Boom!
At this moment, a jet-black brilliance came down in an instant and pressed on the head of the charming woman. The charming woman was startled, but soon she came back to her senses. The brilliance was flowing all over her body. She stretched out her jade hand and patted it directly.
black light.
boom!
A rolling sound of explosion sounded, and the water of the Styx was rolled up crazily, and the entire space was trembling. However, the dark brilliance did not dissipate, but continued to press down.
The charming woman was surprised in her heart, her body flickered, and she instantly transformed into a thousand figures, narrowly avoiding the black light's attack.
"Who dares to be so bold and offend the River God!" Thousands of figures gathered together, and the charming woman reappeared in the field of vision. Her eyes scanned the surroundings. Her body no longer had the holy aura before, but became extremely ferocious.
"A fox demon dares to claim to be a god. It really makes me laugh." A voice full of ridicule sounded. Ye Chen stepped forward, came from the air, and slowly landed in front of the charming woman.
He glanced around and saw a faint glimmer of light emerging from the charming woman's body, her eyes were like blood, and her whole body was filled with a sinister and cunning aura.
On her back, there was a shadow of a demonic beast, its hair was black, its hooves were like snow, and its eyes were staring at Ye Chen, blooming with a ferocious light.
This woman is not a river god at all, but a fox demon!
