Chapter 177 Sacrifice
After experiencing the front line of life and death, the young man was more cautious when walking in the second half of the channel for fear that he would make a mistake and lead to a failure.
"Come on! Come on!" People outside the aisles on both sides watched the young man get closer and closer to the goal and cheered for him in unison.
Listening to the cheering from outside the channel, the young man's heart suddenly became heroic, and the steps under his feet became more stable.
People on both sides of the passage are cheering for the success of young people, with the exception of the two masked men.
After thinking that space cracks automatically disappeared uncontrollably, they have been constantly trying to regenerating space cracks. Due to the existence of the boundary, their attempts are naturally futile.
Originally, they thought the device had broken down, but an unintentional discovery alerted them.
A light wind blew, and the dead leaves on the ground flew in the wind, but suddenly stopped and fell to the ground less than half a meter from the entrance of the passage.
"The boundary! It's not good. It seems that I met a master. Seeing this scene, the two masked men immediately understood why the device in their hands failed.
What surprised them more was when this boundary appeared, and who made them unaware of it. This shows that this person's strength is completely out of their ability to compete. The two looked at each other, and a chill appeared in their hearts at the same time. Wouldn't it be easy for this person to want their lives?
"What should I do? We are no match for this level of master. The masked man on the left asked his companion in a low voice on the young man in the channel with everyone's attention.
"What should I do? You ask me, who am I going to ask?" His companion replied angrily.
When the mysterious organization first took over the channel, many people were indeed dissatisfied and provoked from time to time. For this reason, many masters have also been transferred to the mysterious organization. However, since defeating the rebel army of thousands of people in one fell swoop, no one dares to question their behavior. Therefore, the mysterious organization has gradually reduced the number of people sitting in the channel. For decades, only four people have been sent to manage the channel. With the strength of their swordsmen, it is easy to deal with those civilians or small traders, but when they meet some masters, they are vulnerable.
"Why don't we report the situation here to you first?" The masked man on the left suggested.
"This is not good. Now I don't even know who the master is. If it is known by the above, we will be blamed for making a fuss. His proposal was rejected by his companions.
"Then let's see the situation before making a decision." Reminded by his companions, the masked man on the left remembered the moody temper of their leader and couldn't help shivering.
To everyone's surprise, I thought there would be a more thrilling situation in the next half of the journey, but I didn't expect that the channel in the second half was abnormally stable, and there was no space crack until the youth walked out of the channel.
"I succeeded!" Walking out of the passage and steadily stepping on the land of Xuanwuyu, the young man knelt on the ground and kissed the earth excitedly. He came here with the belief of death, and the joy of success made him burst into tears.
"Congratulations! Congratulations..." The gamblers on the side of the Kingdom of Gaen came up one after another to congratulate.
And the gamblers on this side of Dishuites also cheered. The success of young people sets an example for them. Although the young man almost lost his life in the process, after all, he succeeded in avoiding two space cracks, which brought everyone hope for survival. As long as you are well prepared, you may not be able to escape even if you encounter a space crack.
"Thank you! Thank you..." The young man responded to everyone's congratulations and completed the formalities all the way. When he received the payment from the merchants, he was extremely excited.
"My father is finally saved!" Looking at the golden gold coins in his hand, the young man could not calm down.
"Next." After dealing with the young man's affairs, a gambler on the side of the kingdom of the kingdom of the kingdom of kingdom walked into the passageway.
He walked tremblingly in the passage, looking at the passage on both sides from time to time, ready to fall down at any time. He completely copied the young man's style, although his movements were very obscene and looked ridiculous. But none of the thousands of people on both sides laughed at him. Everyone paid attention to him and wanted to see from him whether the youth avoidance method could be successfully replicated in others.
However, the result was that the gamblers were tongue-tight. During the half-pillar incense time when he crossed the channel, the channel that should have frequent space cracks did not appear once.
"I'm still alive! Haha..." As soon as he walked out of the passage, the man's tense nerves suddenly relaxed and laughed loudly.
After him, several gamblers quickly crossed the channel, and some people even ran through the whole channel. In just half an hour, nearly ten people have successfully crossed the channel.
As more and more hustle and bustle passes through the channel, the situation gradually loses control.
"Look, the people in the back, I think the masters are among them." After observing for a period of time, the two masked men found that a group of people was particularly conspicuous at the back of the queue of gamblers. Although they wear ordinary adventurer costumes, their temperament is different at first glance. Together with those gamblers, it stands out as if it stands out from the crowd.
"Yes, there are more than ten people in their group. I can see through the strength of no one. I don't know what they are. If they come for us, it will be troublesome."
"It can't go on like this. I think it's better to ask for help from the top. How to deal with this situation makes the top a headache. Otherwise, the task of collecting blood sacrifices will not be completed, and we will have to die when we go back. The masked man on the left suggested.
"Okay. In this way, you immediately send a distress signal to the organization. This time, his companions are no longer stopped.
A secret base thousands of meters away from the entrance. Next to the altar a hundred meters deep underground, there was a group of masked men, who were obviously members of the mysterious organization.
"Roar!" There was a roar of anger from a deep six-pointed star-shaped pit in the middle of the altar.
"It's not good! The monster below is already angry. Hearing the roar, the masked people around the altar made a mess.
"What are you idiots doing here! Why don't you go to the cell and bring those people to the altar!" On a platform on the side of the altar stood two masked men in red silver-trimmed robes and silver masks. One of the tall masked men shouted at the masked men around the altar.
"Yes." Hearing the order, some of the masked people around the altar were separated to carry people, leaving some people to continue the sacrificial ceremony.
"No way! Those people were asked by the Lord by name..." Another short masked man with a silver mask on the high platform was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly stopped him.
"If sacrifices are not sent here, the efforts of the organization for more than ten years will be wasted. At that time, if the Lord knows that you are preventing us from giving sacrifices, what do you think the Lord will do with you? Relying on the advantage of height, the tall masked man looked down at his colleagues around him, speaking with a naked threat.
"But you have used these people now. What can I give to the Lord God!" Under the pressure of the other party, the short masked man obviously lacked the confidence, but he still argued for his own task.
"Don't worry. God asked the lords for this group of people to be used as sacrifices. Now we have used these sacrifices. In a few days, brother, I'll take someone to help you catch another batch. Hearing the words of the short masked man, he knew that he had softened, and the tall masked man made a promise.
Hearing the promise, the short masked man calmed down.
"The situation is not good. If it goes on like this, the monster under the altar will go back to the ground." Listening to the sound under the altar getting lighter and lighter, the tall man was very anxious in his masked hearts.
He jumped from the high platform to the altar.
On the edge of the altar, a masked man suddenly found that there was one more person beside him. Looking back, he turned out to be the leader. He quickly saluted.
"Your Excellency, why are you in person..." Before he could complete the simple salute, the tall masked man suddenly became difficult. He pinched his subordinate's neck with one hand and lifted him up. With a slight force on his wrist, he only heard a "click". The sound of the broken neck bone made the masked people around him chill one by one.
The tall masked man threw the body in his hand into the deep pit in the center of the altar. A moment later, the familiar chewing sound of masked people came from the deep pit.
The same voice was heard in their ears, but at this time, their mood was completely different from that in the past. At the beginning, they threw the "offerings" one by one to the altar, listening to the pleading and screams of the "offerings" and taking pleasure. However, now they listen to these familiar voices, but they have a feeling of rabbit death and fox sadness in their hearts.
"Don't blame me. If you want to complain, just blame your companions who haven't brought the sacrifice yet. If the sacrifice has not been sent, I have to throw all of you as sacrifices!" The tall masked man looked around the altar for a week and looked at his subordinates around him. He said gloomily.
The masked people on the edge of the altar were worried one by one, afraid that they would become the second victim.
"Your Excellency, the sacrifice has been brought!" Just as the sound under the altar became lighter again, and the tall masked man was about to leave another subordinate in the deep pit, the masked people who went to mention the people finally came back. However, the number of people is halved compared with when they went, and almost everyone who came back was colorful.
The tall masked man pulled a "sacrifice" into a deep pit in the altar. Listening to the wailing from the deep pit, he was relieved.
