"My dad used to visit them when he was not married, and once, one night around Halloween, he heard them beating a drum made of tree trunks."
Young Willie wrote this on the sheepskin scroll.
After the booming voice came, Wang Xiaoya and Xia Dongqing also came to Ye Yi's side.
Ye Yi made a bow and arrow in place, a longbow made of golden light particles and a sharp arrow appeared in his hand. When he let go, the golden long arrow pierced the sky with a "swish" and shot at the place where the sound came from. Go, leaving a perfect arc in the dark night, disappearing into the distance.
"Set a position first." Ye Yi explained calmly in the eyes of everyone's surprise.
A faint smile appeared on Amber's face. After all, she had been a human being for a long time, and she had some small habits of admiring vanity.
"The thunder is heavy and the rain is small." Wang Xiaoya said disdainfully.
It’s glittering, it looks very cool, but it’s not very useful, but the effect of bluffing is pretty good.
"Ya, you stay here to protect everyone, and Ye Yi and I will go over and take a look." Amber said, the whole person reveals a calm and virgin temperament.
After speaking, Amber and Ye Yi walked into the jungle.
Beside the two of them, the vines and thorns took the initiative to make way for them.
"Holly, what did Jade call me just now?" Wang Xiaoya was startled, staring at the fading shadow under the night, a little dumbfounded.
"Ya! What's the matter?" Xia Dongqing said.
"It's not Ya, it's Ya." Wang Xiaoya corrected.
Of course, from the pronunciation, she couldn't hear the difference between these two words at all. She just felt the tone of the word by Humber, a sense of familiarity that had been lost for thousands of years.
"Huh?" Xia Dongqing was taken aback.
Zhang Wei and Dali looked at Wang Xiaoya confusedly.
"It's amber, not jade." Wang Xiaoya said in a dazed voice.
The ancient trees in the forest towered to the sky, the withered vines entangled, Ye Yi and Amber's vigorous figure moved among them, and soon came to the position marked by the golden arrow.
On a small clearing in the forest, fallen leaves and twigs were piled up, with obvious traces of trampling, but people had already left.
Following the traces left in the forest, Ye Yi and Huo finally came to a canyon.
A huge round stone stood on the side, which was the place where Yue Qiluo had hit by mistake before, but the trace was broken when it reached here.
Ye Yi sniffed, there was still a faint peculiar smell in the air, which should be the disgusting smell that Yue Qiluo had smelled before, but it dissipated a lot over time.
"It's raining." Kohaku stretched out a hand and caught a drop of rain from the sky.
"It seems to be thunder and drums." Ye Yi raised his eyes and said to the sky.
In the farmhouse, everyone has moved things to the long-abandoned farmhouse, and the carriage has also been spelled by Wang Xiaoya, covering it with a ray of light.
Although the farmhouse is broken, it is better than raining and blowing the wind outside.
The farmhouse was gradually surrounded by rumbling thunder, and the rain hit the trees, the pavement, and everywhere. At this time, it was already pitch black outside, and only when it was flashing, could the shadow of the whirling tree be faintly visible.
Between the flashes of lightning, the rain was "pushing" in the wind, everything was like a terrible dream, but it was all true.
The people in the house gathered together and were not too much disturbed by the outside world.
"My hand." Dali exclaimed suddenly and raised his hand.
In her hand, shining light particles were surrounded, emitting a faint green light in the darkness.
"Dali, you have mutated!" Zhang Wei's expression changed drastically, astonished.
"Go, don't talk nonsense, what kind of mutation." Wang Xiaoya gave Zhang Wei a white look and took up a strong hand. "This is clearly a high concentration of energy particles. It is strange. I have not seen it in this world. It contains What a powerful breath of life."
"How could Dali be like this?" Zhang Wei asked worriedly.
"Could it be that this place is weird?" Xia Dongqing glanced at her surroundings vigilantly, as if something would emerge from the dark corner at any time.
"No, this power is possessed by Dali itself, but it only becomes apparent after it has grown to a certain stage." Wang Xiaoya grasped Dali's somewhat cold hand and explained it several times.
"Isn't I a human?" Dali snorted in his heart.
"Dali, don't worry, even if you are not a human being, my heart for loving you will remain the same." Zhang Wei immediately offered his diligence, and the desire to survive cannot be said to be weak.
He looked at Zhang Wei with vigorous eyes and a smile.
"You are trying to control it to take it back, concentrate in your heart, thinking of taking it back and let it return to your body." Wang Xiaoya instructed Dali.
Vigorously did what Wang Xiaoya said, and as expected, the green light particles in his hand were taken back, and the white palms returned to normal again.
"Dali, great, you are back to normal again." Zhang Wei said joyfully.
"I feel that power is now dormant in my hand, warm in the palm." I vigorously moved my right hand and felt it.
"That's right, it will be fine in a while." Wang Xiaoya said, and looked up and down vigorously. "I really didn't see it before. It turns out that you also have a secret hidden in you. I said that Ye Yi is the number one most wanted. How could you be so courteous to you."
Wang Xiaoya thought it was because of Dali's special physique, that's why Ye Yi looked at her differently, but this time she guessed wrong.
Zhang Wei's eyes rolled, but he thought of another possibility, Ye Yi and Jade are not normal people, and Dali now has this situation, I am afraid it is related to them.
Zhang Wei took this idea to the bottom of his heart, probably knowing that Dali is not so unknowable, so he feels a lot more relieved.
"The two people haven't come back, so they won't feed the tiger in the mountain." Wang Xiaoya glanced at the thunderstorm outside the house, and said casually.
"Have you smelled it, it has a strange smell." Yue Qiluo suddenly shrugged his nose twice, alertly and authentically.
The smell is a bit familiar, it seems to be the smell I smelled in the canyon before.
"You wait for me here, I'll go out and have a look." Yue Qiluo said, and walked out of the house altogether.
Wang Xiaoya didn't follow Yue Qiluo out, in case it was a trick to move the tiger away from the mountain.
You must know that the three people in the house, Xia Dongqing, Zhang Wei, and Dali, their combat effectiveness is not high, or basically not.
There was heavy rain in the sky, and the rain poured down like beans, hitting the ground, and splashing white water.
Yue Qiluo walked out of the house, stepped on the muddy ground, looked down, frowned, and looked disgusted. The little leather boots that Master bought for him were all dirty.
Following the strange pungent smell in the water vapor, Yue Qiluo stood on tiptoe, leaving a line of small footprints on the ground.
Qimei is so elegant sometimes.
The wind blew the trees around the farmhouse, making whirring sounds, like ghosts crying and howling wolves, and the shaky shadows of the trees were like ghosts in the dark waving their arms, beating fearful and curious creatures.
In the flashing electric light, Yue Qiluo walked around the farmhouse, and suddenly saw a black shadow standing beside the old well in the abandoned farmhouse.
With the flash of lightning, Yue Qiluo probably saw the outline of the dark shadow clearly.
Those tree-like things gathered together, and in the dark, they seemed to be alive—moving, bending, twisting, standing by the well.
The lightning came again, and Yue Qiluo could clearly see them.
A black thing, not a tree. It was a big, dark thing, just squatting there, waiting, with rope-like arms squirming and stretching.
This is certainly not the wicked person recorded in the young Willie's sheepskin scroll, because this is not a person at all.
Yue Qiluo knew that he was afraid that he had seen the old dominators, or the dependents of the old dominators, the indescribable existence of the sacrifices worshipped by the primitive inhabitants of the mountains.
In the records of Young Willie, it is extremely tall, the whole body is pitch black, and it has no special shape, except for a lot of black ropes, and the ends of the ropes are as long as hoofs.
It has a shape, but it keeps changing-it's all bulging, wriggling, and becoming different. That thing had a lot of mouths all over it, like a leaf curled up on a branch.
Those mouths are like leaves, the whole thing is like a tree swaying in the wind, a black tree, with many branches hanging down to the ground, and many tree roots, with the ends like hoofs. Those green mucus flowed out of those mouths and dripped onto the legs.
The strange smell in the air was emitted from the green slime flowing down from this monster, Yue Qiluo was affirmed in her heart, and it was probably what she had encountered on the edge of the canyon. It was a dim sky, and it must be hidden Among the dense trees, this deceived my eyes.
"Heaven and Earth Promise, Profound Heart and Sword Art." Yue Qiluo's eyes were sharp, her hands formed mudra, and then she raised her hands, palms together, and chopped forward from the air.
Following Yue Qiluo's gesture, a bright light in the void cut through the sky like a heavenly sword, and cut it down with unparalleled momentum.
With a "bang", the muddy dust splashed, and a crack of more than ten meters long was cut out of Yue Qiluo's body directly, and the monster was directly blasted out by the vast power.
The monster struggled to get up, gathered the branches and leaves on his body, and turned to escape to the dense forest behind him. The rustling sound of the branches and leaves was heard in the dense forest, and soon disappeared.
The pouring rain washed away its traces in a few blinks.
So weak? Yue Qiluo had some surprises in her heart. Didn't it mean that it was an indescribable creature that had existed in the universe for countless years? One move was fucked to the ground.
I'm afraid I thought that the people who came into the mountain were just ordinary people who didn't know good or bad, so I sent such a little guy here.
Yue Qiluo looked at the sky subconsciously. Master said, those weird old rulers like to spy on the universe in their dreams, so are they also watching at this moment
Thinking of this, Yue Qiluo mischievously raised a middle finger to the black night sky like ink.
Of course, apart from the rumbling thunder and flashing electric lights, there is no other situation.
Yue Qiluo Wangtian blinked his big, smart eyes, then turned around and returned to the house with his hands on his back.
In the distant mountains, Ye Yi and Humber followed the breath remaining in the air to find them.
There is a fire on the mountain, and the rumble of drums came from there.
The wind was screaming "pushing", the tree was laughing, and the drum was rumbling.
Ye Yi and Huo stopped in time. When they clearly saw the fire, it was only a few kilometers away, but the rain here was not as exaggerated as the farmhouse.
There is a flat place on the top of the mountain. There is a big white rock in the center. Red and green fire is around and behind it. Against the backdrop of the fire, everything can be seen clearly.
There were people around the altar. All of them had long gray beards and wrinkles on their faces. Those people threw the unpleasant smell into the fire, so that the flames became red and green.
They were still holding knives and clubs in their hands, and when the flames rose, they could be heard howling and cheering with their hands high.
Behind, there are many people squatting on the ground, beating the drums.
The drums sounded very rhythmically, and the human heart seemed to follow the rhythmic rhythm.
Soon, something else came up the mountain-two men in ancient linen clothes, they drove the goats up the mountain that they didn't know where they got.
The goats were driven to the side of the altar, and then those with knives cut their necks as sacrifices.
"They are offering sacrifices, very ancient sacrifices." Amber stood beside Ye Yi, staring at everything that happened under the rainy night.
"What they worship should be the monster recorded on the sheepskin scroll, one of the former dominators, the mother of thousands of children and thousands of grandchildren, the black goat of the forest." Ye Yi said calmly.
In the dark night, Ye Yi and Huanghu stood not far away, clearly watching the blood and sin under the firelight.
The goat fell on the side of the stone, and the blood couldn't stop flowing from his throat, and soon a large area was stained red.
"In fact, they want to live too." Amber said softly.
Ye Yi glanced at Amber. She is not a human being. Naturally, she would not consider issues from a human standpoint. From a human point of view, goats are low-level animals. Killing goats is extremely normal, but in Amber’s eyes, she is In the eyes of the goddess, human beings and goats are all low-level animals, with short lives, ignorant wisdom, greed, hatred, and evil in the eyes of the goddess.
Ye Yi embraced Amber's soft shoulders and comforted her with actions.
Then those people threw something into the fire. Thick black smoke rose from the fire. When the smoke came up, those people began to sing and pray loudly.
The fire and smoke rose, the drums rang, and they all sang, calling out loudly when waiting for something on the other side of the mountain.
The earth began to tremble. It was raining heavily, there was thunder, lightning, fire, smoke, and singing.
It shook, shook, they called for something, and after a while, that thing appeared.
It climbed up from the other side of the hillside to the altar and the livestock. It was the black thing depicted on the sheepskin scroll—the black thing that appeared in the woods, with many ropes, sticky, and tree-like. s things.
It climbed up, relying on its hooves, mouth, and snake-like arms to flow on the ground.
When those people saw this scene, they didn't flee in all directions. They just bent down and stood back. It seems that such sacrifices have existed for a long time.
The black thing leaned over to the altar, and when it bent down, Ye Yi and Amber both heard the buzzing over the screams.
After only watching for a minute, it started to bulge and grow bigger.
