Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 112 Hidden Truth
The temple keepers also knew that tonight was when they were at their weakest.
A large number of temple priests need to go to Chengtian Mountain to perform sacrifices.
Only a dozen temple keeper are able to move around outside, and they need to guard two places at the same time.
The problem is that neither of these two places can afford to fail.
There are more than a dozen demon weapons buried in one place. Once someone gets hold of these weapons, the riots will inevitably expand further.
Another place to store offerings.
The sacrifices are of utmost importance and must not be lost in any way, as they are the key to tomorrow's sacrifice.
Once the formal sacrifice fails, that will be a real disaster.
The elderly temple priest sighed, and then his eyes gradually became firm.
There are many palm-sized black stones in the tomb complex, and each stone has a handprint or footprint on it.
Judging from these marks, their owners are mostly children between six and seven years old.
Densely packed black stones covered the ground here .
This is a forbidden area and ordinary people are not allowed to approach here.
So the large number of footsteps now are naturally from the punitive team.
As they looked at these black stones, they felt a chill all over their bodies, followed by an indescribable anger.
If each stone symbolizes a sacrificed child, then there are probably tens of thousands of black stones here.
This is a staggering number, indicating that this annual sacrifice has been going on for hundreds of years.
Countless children were brought to this mountain and sacrificed without any knowledge.
Even the rising forces of humanity felt their own anger rising at this moment.
Even though we know that this is an illusion, this inhumane behavior will always arouse the purest anger of human beings.
"Are you from the punitive team?" At this time, the old temple keeper walked out of a cave opposite the tombs and greeted these uninvited guests calmly.
"What a familiar look." This greeting made the members of the punitive team focus their murderous gazes on the temple keeper, but the old temple keeper just laughed twice in response.
"Back then, I was just like you, full of anger about this place."
"But..." Before the temple keeper could finish his words, several arrows flew towards him.
"Shut up, old dog!" The furious members of the expedition team launched an attack on the temple keeper.
Taoist Gourd was more interested in the words of the old temple priest.
Unfortunately , partners of justice are generally more impulsive.
After all, the hot-blooded young man couldn't calm down and talk to the enemy.
The old temple keeper also had a look of regret on his face. He waved his hand, and all the arrows flying towards him stopped in mid-air.
Although temple priests can all gain power from the mountain gods, this power is different.
Those who participate in the sacrifice for the first time can only gain the ability to create.
Create some simple things that are familiar to you, and have little control over them.
As the number of times they participate in sacrifices increases, the power of the temple priests will gradually become stronger and richer.
Gradually the ability to control oneself emerges.
Only the temple priest at this stage can fly in the air.
This control then spreads from itself to its creations, and then further to everything.
The ability to control high-speed arrows alone is not something that those young temple keepers can master.
The old temple priest spread his hands, and all the arrows were shot back.
It fell in front of the expedition team.
He did not attack them, but continued: "I was once as angry as you are about all this."
"Even I was once one of you."
"Similar teams appear every few decades, and I was among them last time ."
"At that time, our scale was even larger than yours."
“But in the end, most of us gave up.”
"The mountain god is not the enemy of all living things. On the contrary, he is the protector of all living things!"
"A guardian who ate tens of thousands of children!!" However, the expedition team did not agree with the temple keeper's statement, nor could they agree with it.
Similar statements have actually been circulating for a long time.
For example, the mythological book that Gourd Taoist read said that the mountain god was the god who supported the sky .
Because of his existence, the galaxy stopped flowing backwards.
But how can those who have experienced the pain personally believe this statement?
Those who were able to join the expedition were either people whose children were “bought” and who thought their children were going to be slaves, but never imagined that they were going to be sacrifices.
Some people suffered from natural disasters and their families were destroyed because they could not pay the money or paid not enough and the temple keeper did not help.
They were truly living in misery, and after their leader told them everything, they firmly believed that it was the mountain god who caused all this suffering.
In this situation, it is impossible for them to believe that the mountain god is the god who protects all living beings.
No matter what, they must defeat the evil god!
"The magic weapon is inside, come with me!" A member of the punitive team was unwilling to say anything more to the old charlatan, and holding a weapon, he led his men to rush directly towards the opponent.
They were not frightened by the rain of arrows that came back before, and many of them had already put their own lives at risk, and fearlessly swung their swords at the old temple priest.
"Hey, you are all actually good people. If possible, I really don't want to kill you!" The old temple keeper sighed, and a large number of weapons appeared out of thin air around him.
But then he frowned, and these weapons came together to form a shield.
A long dark blue arrow flew over and hit the shield.
"Feng Hesheng!" The old temple keeper called out the leader's name, his eyes full of regret: "No one wanted to see what happened back then, but there was nothing we could do. Kill one to save the rest. Don't be stubborn anymore."
"If you have any grievances, I was the one who gave the order back then, and I can let you do whatever you want."
"It's just that those demon soldiers really can't be used."
"You're only going to make things more and more difficult to deal with."
It’s a pity that, apart from the rising human forces mixed in, no one is willing to pay attention to what the old temple priest says.
Even though they knew that the old temple keeper might have other hidden motives, this could not stop them from gaining power.
It was also impossible for them to ignore the fact that tens of thousands of children were sacrificed here and stop their actions just because of a few .
No matter what, only by gaining power can you have more choices.
There was no more communication between the two sides, and the waving of weapons was the only remaining interaction.
Today we must fight to the death.
