Chapter 574
"What do you want?" Fifth Elder narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Xun.
"Let me sacrifice." Yan Xun slowly clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist, and lowered his head slightly to prevent the person opposite from looking into his eyes.
Almost all the elders were breathless, and the fifth elder was even a little bit numb.
Originally, they had discussed that they were going to let Yan Xun sacrifice, so that there would be one person alive in the village, but the elders felt that this matter should be taken care of slowly, and the fifth elder even planned to find Yan Xun in private to avoid the child They persuaded him.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xun opened his mouth on his own initiative.
Sacrifice is death. Even if the chosen people in the village know that they can only go this way, no one will take the initiative to stand up.
If they can survive, who is willing to die?
"Cough...cough cough..." Yan Xun covered his mouth and coughed earth-shatteringly. After a while, he gasped slightly, "I'm afraid I won't live long in this state, so I might as well make some contributions to the village."
"Big..." Jing Fengye opened his mouth, knowing that even he couldn't stop Yan Xun, so he could only shut his mouth and look at him silently.
In the inner room, the fifth prince turned his head to look at the flower tree cub standing beside him motionless, and gestured at him, "He is going to jump into the fire pit! How much breath can he have without you? I'm afraid he hasn't waited for the sacrifice yet." If you sacrifice, you will die!"
"No." The flower tree cub shook his head, "My lord will live, for sure."
"Why don't you stop him?" The fifth prince was a little excited, "With your ability, you can turn this place upside down, right? You can dig out all kinds of ghosts and monsters in one effort. Why is it like this! I It’s because I don’t like him, but I don’t want to just ask him to die for no apparent reason!”
I think the monsters under his hands were well hidden at the beginning, it was because of Yan Xun's words that directly overturned all the post stations, and all the monsters were blown up, otherwise why would he be alone now, with his hands There are too few people who need to use it.
What's more, he regards Yan Xun as his lifelong rival, and he always waits for Yan Xun to be in good condition, and he will compete with each other. If Yan Xun really dies at that time, he will be regarded as a well-deserved death.
How could he die in such a wimpy manner.
"I really don't know what he thinks." The fifth prince hated iron for being weak, and was so angry that flames burst out of his head.
"We only listen to the adults." The flower tree cub gestured at the fifth prince.
So no matter what the fifth prince said, the cubs would not listen.
"You..." The Fifth Prince was so angry that he couldn't speak. He stretched out his paw and tapped the flower tree cubs, and continued to gesture, "If you don't listen to me, it's fine. Now I'm talking about serious business. Yan Xun Don’t you know what it looks like now? Just like him, like tofu, it will disperse when the wind blows.”
The chosen ones will be taken away by the elders, and other people in the village will not be able to meet again until the sacrifice begins, and after that it will be a farewell forever.
So now that Yan Xun suddenly said such words, he fell into the hands of the elders. He was going to be taken away immediately, and Jing Fengye couldn't follow.
How does Yan Xun live?
"You are not as good as me!" The fifth prince gestured viciously, then pinched his neck fiercely with his claws, then shook his head, hid his claws in his sleeves, and walked out.
"What are you doing here? Go back." Yan Xun pushed the fifth prince forward, as if afraid of being seen by the elders.
The Fifth Prince tugged Yan Xun, pushed him to Jing Fengye, and then spoke in a completely different voice, like a little brother, "He is still related to Rattlesnake, but I am a Lonely ghosts. Even staying in the village is probably inappropriate... just count me in. I just hope that you will treat the children better in the future and don't treat them badly."
Compared with Yan Xun's euphemism, what the fifth prince said was much more straightforward.
Sacrifice is possible, but there are conditions.
And this is exactly what the elders have thought about for a long time. It is not difficult to accept it, and it is even right in their arms. They are afraid that the fifth prince will go back on his word.
"You should have thought about it." The Fifth Elder didn't ask Yan Xun, but the Fifth Prince.He felt that Yan Xun would definitely be willing for the sake of the children, but with the few words that the fifth prince said just now, people felt that he was a bit rebellious.
"Think it over." The fifth prince said angrily, but looked at Yan Xun.
"Since you've made up your mind, nothing else I say will be superfluous." Yan Xun sighed softly, "That's fine too."
If the fifth prince really escaped from there, and he has no relatives or relationship with anyone in this village, even if he can stay now, his life may not be good in the future.
After the decision was made, he could no longer stay at Rattlesnake's house, he had to follow the elders, but he didn't have to leave right away, there was still about two quarters of an hour to say goodbye to the cubs and Jing Fengye.
"Rattlesnake, come in too." Yan Xun called the Rattlesnake into the room and talked.
As soon as he entered the room, the rattlesnake immediately started gesticulating, "I don't know much about the elders, it might be dangerous. Originally..."
He didn't know about Yan Xun's decision, he thought he was in charge of going to the elders to inquire about the news, but he didn't expect Yan Xun to make such a move.This made him panic. Among the people present, no one knew the result of the sacrifice better than him.
"This is what we have thought about for a long time." Yan Xun gestured quickly, "After I leave, you don't act rashly, I will take Brother Dan away, and let him contact you if there is anything."
Brother Dan poked his head out of Yan Xun's arms, and nodded solemnly at the cubs.
He is the smallest cub, no one can find him when he hides on his body, and it is easy to pass messages back and forth.
"Okay." Only then did Rattlesnake feel relieved, and retreated to the base of the wall without gesticulating.
Yan Xun was not gesticulating, but directly said: "From now on, you can stay in the village with peace of mind, take good care of the children, and wait for them to grow up... From now on, you must be obedient and listen to Rattlesnake, he is your little one. Uncle, you must be filial in the future..."
"En." The cubs all agreed in low voices.
According to the information that Rattlesnake told them, they couldn't be unhappy to be selected, but they couldn't be elated either. It was like that on the surface, but in the bottom of their hearts, who wasn't sad?
"Just say a few words, let's go." The fifth prince looked a little impatient, watching Yan Xun and the cubs as if they were parting for life.
He gestured impatiently, "I will protect your Master Yan, don't worry."
"Please." The cubs all gestured in unison.
Brother Dan poked his head out of Yan Xun's arms again, stared at the fifth prince with big eyes and then withdrew.He actually wanted to say that he would also protect Father, but thinking that he might come back to pass on the news, then Father would be alone and still needed the protection of the fifth prince, so he didn't intend to engage in this verbal dispute.
After speaking, Yan Xun and the fifth prince came out one after the other, and left with the elders.
All the houses they passed along the way were very ordinary houses, Yan Xun kept his eyes on the whole way, but the fifth prince looked left and right without any concealment.
"What did you see?" The Fifth Elder was still a little worried about the Fifth Prince, and felt that he was a bit too rebellious, so he came over to test him.
The fifth prince snorted coldly, "It's nothing surprising. I've never been to that place..."
"It's right in front." The Fifth Elder pointed to the magnificent house built against the mountain in front.
"Hmph." The Fifth Prince rolled his eyes unceremoniously.
After entering the house, the inside is not flat, and there are many up and down steps that need to be walked around. The five elders personally reminded me along the way, but it went smoothly.
In the end, Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he entered a not-so-big room. Fortunately, he was not separated from the fifth prince, otherwise he was not sure what he would do, nor what the fifth prince would do.
There is no window in the room, only an airtight door woven with vines. The fifth prince quickly turned around a few times, frowned and sat opposite Yan Xun, gesticulating, "It should be inside the mountain, I suspect that the upward passage is in the Inside this mountain, there are many guards, and it is not easy to break into it."
"Is there a monster?" Yan Xun asked.
The fifth prince frowned, "I didn't find any traces, so I'm not sure if there are any."
What can be discovered now is that the place where the elder is located is far more complicated than what it appears on the surface, and there are more guards than imagined. I am afraid that the people in the village do not know these things.
And the reason why the fifth prince knew it was because his eyes were the same as those of the cubs, he could see the surroundings clearly even if there was no light, and he could also hear voices that ordinary people couldn't hear.
Not long after, someone came again, but it was the room next door.
"More than a dozen." The fifth prince continued to gesture, impatiently, "I don't know how long it will take..."
"Soon." Yan Xun was very calm.
There were people in the rooms on both sides, but there was not much movement, and no words were spoken.
They were probably appointed, and they knew what would happen if they were selected, so they didn't make unnecessary struggles, just waited quietly, waiting for the sacrifice to start.
Yan Xun really didn't have to wait long, the Fifth Elder soon came and took them out.
"Are you going to start?" the Fifth Prince asked.
The Fifth Elder said 'hmm', then quickly lowered his voice and said: "Don't talk, it's not good to disturb the 'God', just follow me."
No one spoke again along the way, this time it was not a village, but a narrow trail that was not known whether it was inside the mountain or built by people.
When passing through some places, Yan Xun smelled a faint fragrance.
Others may not be aware of it, but Yan Xun is very clear, he can even tell what medicinal ingredients are in these fragrances, and what will be the reaction of people who ask this fragrance.
There will be a trance, a slight dizziness, and some even temporarily lose consciousness, but the body will move forward inertially, like a walking dead.
It's just that this medicine has no effect on Yan Xun, he has drank too much medicine, his body is already different from ordinary people, this medicine also has no effect on the fifth prince, because he should not be considered a human being now.
After passing through places with scent several times in a row, it suddenly became clear to go forward, Yan Xun slightly squinted his eyes and looked at the big pit in front of him, followed the fifth elder and went down the steps step by step.
"There are two people from other villages this time?" A person came down the steps on the other side and asked the Fifth Elder.
The fifth elder stepped forward respectfully, and told the history of Yan Xun and the fifth prince.
"Bring it here and let me have a look." The man said arrogantly.
"Yes, Elder Hu." Fifth Elder hurriedly said.
