Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1354: Sacrifice

When Panda and the others headed to the temple, Yang Kun strolled around the neighborhood with his hands behind his back, and then slowly came to the edge of the pier.

On the edge of the pier, a hunting team member sat cross-legged by the water, eating his own dry food, a roasted and dried meat roll with a unique flavor, almost a must-have food for the hunting team when they go out.

Seeing the old man, the hunting team smiled and said in the local language, "Would you like some?"

Living here for a long time, Yang Kun can somewhat understand the language here. Hearing this, he said with a smile, "I'm not hungry."

He pointed to the boat under the pier and said: "I left something on the boat just now, I will go down and get it back."

The hunting team waved their hands and smiled: "Go, be careful, call me if you have anything to do."

"Okay." The old man who didn't carry an independent power generation device and a firearm on his back was quite nimble, and easily jumped off a small boat, and soon arrived at the one he originally shared with Tianyang.

The old man bent down, looking like he was looking for something on the boat. He turned his back to the hunting team on the shore, but reached out to touch the hull of the boat.

He touched the gels painted on the ship's hull, withdrew his hand calmly, took it between his nose and smelled it lightly.

Yang Kun frowned, took out another dagger, and after the captain scraped off some gel, he quietly took out a small tin bottle that he filled with wine from his arms.

The old man bit the bottle cork and pushed it away, then poured the gel on the dagger into the bottle, pressed the bottle back, and put it in his pocket.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a human voice sounded from behind.

Yang Kun was startled, and the dagger fell into the water. He got up quickly, turned his head, and saw the hunting team member who was eating on the pier came down at some point, and the other party's black muzzle was pointed at him.

There was a faint sweat stain on the old man's forehead, and he heard the hunting team member ask: "Did you find your things?"

Yang Kun quickly said: "I found it, I found it."

"Oh." The hunting team turned to other directions, "Go up if you find it, don't stay on the boat by yourself for too long."

"Okay." The old man hurriedly passed by him and jumped onto the pier.

The hunting team looked at the place where the old man dropped the dagger, but the water surface had returned to calm at this moment, and nothing could be seen, so he turned around and followed him ashore.

If he checks carefully at this time, he will find that the gel on the hull is missing...

......

Temple.

Cross the square and enter the main hall.

The sun quietly rises from the ground, using the 'dark breath', he stands silently in a dark corner like a ghost, and he, who has established a connection with the black mist, builds a model through the black mist It can be seen that the dome is supported by two rows of stone pillars.

The stone pillars are generally full of cracks, and some of them have fallen over, but the main body of the building is still intact, and has not changed much under the erosion of time.

At this time, a fire lighted up in the depths of the hall, and Panda's hunting team members lit some braziers one after another, making the light in the hall gradually brighter and dispelling the darkness.

Standing in the shadows, Tianyang raised his head and looked around, and saw murals scattered on the dome and walls. They seemed to be a whole, with bold colors and a grand atmosphere.

I don't know what kind of paint was used at the beginning, but after so long, the color has not changed much.

Tianyang first observes the murals on the surrounding walls, which depict many characters, they are wearing bright and strange clothes, some are reading books and newspapers, some are resting under the shade of trees, and some are cooking food , some are writing music, some are painting on the wall, some are selling fruit...

These murals depict many vivid and lively pictures of life, and the expressions of the characters in the paintings are either calm or smiling, or laughing or happy. These vivid characters make the whole mural reveal a kind of joy and Joy, as if there is no trace of sadness and anger in the world in the painting.

Countless vivid figures fill the murals. The painter uses techniques from near to far, from large to small, and through a single figure in the painting, the viewer will naturally look towards the dome and the center of the mural. go.

There, in the middle of the dome, is a solemn and sacred figure.

It was a woman with six wings on her back, with a scorching sun on her back. He held up a long sword formed of golden flames.

She has a beautiful face, and her gaze is downward, gently watching those who are clustered around her.

Those people were kneeling or standing, no matter which direction they were in, they stretched out their hands towards the sacred figure, wanting to touch, eager to share her glory.

No need to explain, Tianyang knows that it is Suto.

It is the patron saint of this floating island, the belief of the indigenous people, the **** of the sky, the **** of the sun, and the last Valkyrie!

At this time, Tianyang heard the neighing of some animals, he looked into the depths of the hall, and his perception naturally extended.

Through the black mist model, he 'saw' that Panda and the others opened those metal boxes and took out cages from inside. The cages turned out to be some poultry.

While they were busy, through the black mist model, Tianyang found a huge statue not far from Panda and the others. However, the statue has cracks, and the outer layer has fallen off in some places, revealing the gray stone coat inside.

There is a huge altar in front of the statue. There are many residues of candles on it. There is a large cauldron in the middle. The vessel seems to be made of brass, but there are some black marks on the edge and surface. It seems that it should be used Caused by some fluid passing through.

At this time, Panda and the others whispered a language that Tianyang did not know. Those men spoke extremely fast, but they were surprisingly consistent, forming a strange rhythm.

Then they began to slaughter poultry and threw those things into the cauldron on the altar. Soon the smell of blood filled the air of the hall. Gradually, the altar and the cauldron began to be stained. It was bloodstained.

Now, Tianyang knew what the black marks on the edge and surface of the cauldron were. It turned out that those were blood stains after solidification and drying!

He frowned. It seemed that Panda and the others were making sacrifices. Although the sacrifices were only poultry, this **** ceremony seemed incompatible with the murals in the main hall.

The sky **** Suto in the mural has a benevolent and gentle appearance, and he doesn't look like a **** who likes **** sacrifices.

Soon the cauldron was overflowing with plasma, and the poultry inside had turned into twitching corpses. At this time, through the black mist model, Tian Yang discovered that the blood in the cauldron began to disappear, just like There is some kind of channel at the bottom of the cauldron that **** blood.

Soon the poultry carcasses in the cauldron emerged. They were twitching abnormally, and then they were torn apart by something, turned into pieces, and sank one by one into the remaining blood.

A moment later, the blood in the cauldron completely disappeared, and the vessel became empty, as if the poultry had never appeared before.

Panda and the others were still kneeling in front of the altar, praying and begging. After the ceremony lasted for nearly half an hour, Tianyang suddenly 'saw' that the bottom of the statue in front of the altar was emitting A pale white liquid flowed out.

The base of the idol was quickly submerged by these luminous liquids, and they began to spread to the ground, and extended to the altar through a groove, and finally filled the grooves around the altar.

Panda and the others showed joy, took out tools, absorbed the liquid in the groove, recovered it and stored it.

Seeing this, Tianyang quietly sank to the ground and returned to the camp at the ruins.

It turns out that the natives used this method to obtain 'supply' to maintain Suto's 'inheritance', but I don't know what the use of the liquid is, and whether it is the 'secret medicine' used by the natives to explode their combat power '.

Silently returning to the ruins camp, Tianyang floated up from the ground, and at the same time disarmed the time projection and the fog ghost armor. Although there were hunting team members walking around in the ruins, no one noticed. Tianyang had already gone to the temple for a while. return.

Of course, Yueguang and the others noticed something, they maintained their original posture, and while not attracting others' attention, Xun handed Tianyang a water bottle.

"Anything found?"

Tianyang took the kettle: "Yes, we'll talk about it when we get back, they'll be back soon."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Panda and the others to come back. After a short rest, these men made gestures and left the temple.

......

After returning to the small town, Tian Yang used Yang Kun as an excuse to take a rest, and several people followed Yang Kun back to the residence.

After they entered the room, Tianyang unfolded his perception and monitored the house. After confirming that the old man was active in the living room, he described the scene he saw in the temple.

After listening, Xun frowned and said: "This is very contradictory. Judging from the mural you mentioned, **** sacrifice should not be the style of the sky god."

Based on his own experience, Yueguang put forward his opinion: "I think this may have something to do with the continuous narrowing of the gaze of the 'Suto's Pupil'. Hitomi's range of vision continues to shrink, causing more and more areas to fall into darkness."

"I'm sure life will only get harder for the inhabitants of the floating islands, and under these circumstances, their spirits will inevitably change."

"This likely led to a change in the sacrificial ritual."

Tianyang nodded lightly: "There is a possibility."

He glanced in the direction of the window: "It will be 'dark' soon, I want to take advantage of this time to go back to the temple, maybe I will find the 'Sky Talisman'."

"But now there is a question, if we take away the 'Sky Talisman', will it make the floating island worse?"

The three women looked at Tianyang, and Tianyang met their eyes and said, "So, even if I find the 'Sky Talisman', I don't intend to take it away immediately."

"I think we should observe and study for a period of time. If there is no impact, or if we can transfer these people outside the door, we will take them away. What do you think?"
