Everyone was moved when they heard the village chief say whether to use a living person or a young girl as a sacrifice.
I thought human sacrifice was something you only see in movies and novels, but I didn't expect to see it happen to them.
Jiang Yixue was shocked at first, then angry. Saixue's face was flushed as she scolded: "How could you do this? The lives of two young girls? It's totally unreasonable."
Beautiful girls are very interesting even when they are angry. Their flawless jade-like faces are flushed with anger, making them even more charming and lovely.
Ye Feng gently held her hand and gave her a comforting look.
The world is a very cruel one. It is not as peaceful, civilized and beautiful as everyone imagines. There are many evils and ugliness hidden in the darkness.
The world of ancient martial arts and the world of immortality are even more cruel. The law of the jungle is the law of nature, and life here is as worthless as grass. Compared with other races, humans are just a lower link in the food chain.
Facing Jiang Yixue's questioning, the old village chief was helpless and shed two lines of tears: "We have no choice. In order to protect the safety of the entire tribe, we can only obey the will of the demon king. There is only this oasis of dozens of miles in the flaming swamp where we can survive. If it is burned by the demon king, we will not be able to survive."
Sister Juan asked in confusion: "Since the demon king is persecuting you, why don't you leave here?"
"Such a fierce underground fire will spray meteor showers if we get close to it. We can't get out at all."
Mo Yun stroked his beard and thought, "We passed by the Flame Swamp and saw that the fire in the Flame Swamp was raging, earthquakes were frequent, and fire clouds covered the sky. Is it time for sacrifice again?"
The old village chief nodded and said, "That's right. It's the time when the Flame Swamp erupts, so the Demon King sent the Flame Lizards to intimidate us. But I didn't expect that his Flame Lizards were killed by the heroes. I am grateful but also worried."
Everyone understood what the old village chief meant. They killed this group of fire lizards. The old village chief was very happy. This time Ke Xin had a lucky escape and the girls in the tribe did not have to be sacrificed.
But if you can escape the first day, you can't escape the fifteenth day; you can hide from the monk but not the temple. You are also worried that the Flame Lizard King will get angry and take revenge on the Flame Village, and the Flame Village is in danger.
Grandma Butterfly looked nonchalant: "Oh, you are in trouble now. The Demon King will definitely be very angry."
Grandma Butterfly’s words made the old village chief, who was already timid, even more worried and frightened.
Sister Juan tugged at Grandma Butterfly’s sleeve and said, “Don’t make irresponsible promises.”
Old Qin glared at Grandma Butterfly and said coldly, "It's just a ferocious beast demon king. Don't be afraid. I want to see what it can do. We will help you kill it."
"Amitabha, God is merciful and kind. I feel that I cannot stand idly by and watch this matter. What do you think, my friends?"
Sister Juan said firmly, "Of course we can't just stand by and watch. How can we let a beast eat people at will? Although I'm not a hero, I like to meddle in other people's business."
Grandma Butterfly glanced at Sister Ajuan with disdain and said nothing.
Encouraged by everyone's emotions, Huozhu's face was full of hope: "Thank you all heroes for your help. Village chief, we can't give in anymore. We have to kill the demon king together. It's either him or me."
On another stone wall in the cave, the origin of the people of Flame Village is engraved. They are human beings from the human world.
A large circle was carved out on the stone wall, which looked like a time and space portal. At the other end of the circle, there were some little people drawn on it. There were stars and the moon in the sky over there. Obviously, that was the human world.
They passed through the circle and came to the world of immortality to live. At that time, it was still a sea of trees. People lived very comfortably and danced around the fire, looking very happy.
But the next painting is one where the people are surrounded by fire, and many people have fire on their bodies.
The survivors managed to survive in this oasis in the sea of fire and named it the Flame Village. This is the origin of the Flame Village.
Ye Feng estimated that during the great war between immortals and demons five thousand years ago, the barrier between the world of immortals and the world of humans was opened, and they passed through the barrier to come here and have survived ever since.
The old village chief said excitedly: "These were carved here by our ancestors before us. We don't know how many days have passed. We have been looking forward to the heroes coming here to help us destroy the demon king."
Everyone understood the ins and outs of the Flame Village and walked out of the cave. They were just wondering whether the mural carved out of the destruction of the Demon King was a fantasy or a prophecy of their ancestors.
"Everyone, please come to our village and drink some water. It's very hot and dry here. You need some water."
Old Qin had a curious look on his face: "We've had some water, but I really want to see it. There is actually a village in the flaming swamp. It's a wonder."
Everyone followed the old village chief into the Flame Village.
When they were almost at the Flame Village, a hooded girl came over from the opposite side. When she saw the old village chief and the hunters, she smiled beautifully and took off her hat. She was carrying a basket in her hand.
Her voice was clear and pleasant: "Old village chief, Brother Huozhu, you are back."
Although the girl has a slightly dark skin, she has a pretty face, youthful beauty, and is full of youthful vitality.
The old village chief smiled and said, "It's Little Sparks, we are back."
When Little Spark saw so many strangers here, she looked a little worried.
She saw the fire pillar, her eyes became fiery, and she walked towards it, a blush flashing across her face: "Brother Fire Pillar, old village chief, would you like some water?"
Grandma Butterfly looked at the girl with envy. Although she had restored her original appearance, when she saw the beautiful girl, she still inadvertently showed a look of comparing beauty with her.
Although the girl was not wearing any makeup, she was in her twenties and her skin exuded the unique glow of a young girl.
The old village chief smiled and introduced Ye Feng and the others: "This is the daughter of our village hunter, Little Spark."
The Fire Pillar pulled Little Spark to the side and asked lovingly, "Why are you running out instead of staying in the village? It's dangerous now."
"I was worried about you and that you might be thirsty, so I brought some water to you and your brothers."
Little Spark was a little hesitant, but still opened the basket in his hand, took out a one-foot square ceramic jar from it, and brought the ceramic jar in front of the fire pillar.
"Brother Huozhu, drink some water. Are you all right? I saw the meteor shower in the sky started again. I was afraid that you would encounter those terrible beasts..."
