Chapter 686: Demon Messenger
The old man led the way first, followed by Zou Dui and the others, and the team returned from the passage that had rushed before, but no one entered the other two passages. Zou Dui has already seen that two of the three passages are used to confuse the enemy, and it is estimated that the lead is either a trap or a dead end, and only one passage is safe.
Zou Dui didn't make a sound, and continued to follow the old man and the others. Along the way, he found that the space in front of him gradually appeared brighter, and it became brighter and brighter, and when he finally walked out of the passage, there was already a wide underworld in front of him, and the whole space was even larger than Shaojia Villa.
Hide-and-skin tents are scattered throughout the large space, roughly centering around the core of a large campfire in the middle. At the moment, some of the bonfires are barbecuing, and the smell of meat is spreading, while others are boiling something, steaming.
The campfire in charge of the barbecue is the largest, and the prey being roasted on it is a bit like a wild boar, and a middle-aged woman is turning the barbecue grill, and as she goes, she applies some rich spices to the boar, making the smell of meat even more enticing.
I don't know if it was because I heard that outsiders were coming, but when Zou Dui and the others came back, the people in the entire underground tribe stood up. Zou Dui roughly estimated that there were nearly 200 people in this tribe.
The people of this tribe are not afraid of life at all, and many adults stretch their necks and look at Zou Dui curiously. And a few and a half children were even more bold, ran in front of Zou Dui, reached out and touched Zou Dui's clothes with different materials and appearances. Zou Dui smiled at them, but instead scared them away.
The old man waved his hand and motioned for everyone to do what they had to do. It could be seen that the old man's status and prestige in the tribe were unique, and the crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed, leaving only a few people to continue to follow. Except for the girl, all of them were middle-aged people.
The old man invited Zou Dui into one of the largest tents, and after everyone sat down, the old man sat in the first seat. After Zou Dui sat down below, the old man said in a conscious voice: "Young man, what's your name?"
Zou Dui said: "My name is Zou Dui. Who are you, old man?"
The old man nodded, and the thought came: "We are the remnants, the forgotten human race...... Legend has it that the gods shook, the sky shook, the earth cracked, and the human race was unfortunately involved in the disaster caused by the war of the gods. Some of the Terrans were lucky enough to escape to safety, while others were swallowed up by the disaster. The Terrans who were devoured by the catastrophe survived and survived in this treacherous place ever since, until now......"
The ......Gods Wars?
These unfamiliar terms made Zou Dui digest for a while, and wanted to ask the old man if he knew the way out, but then he came to his senses and laughed bitterly at himself, if he knew the way out, they would have gone out a long time ago, how could they stay in such a bad place......
"Young man, try our food, it may be rough and not delicious enough for outsiders, but you can't be too picky about a place like this......"
The old man's consciousness was transmitted again, and Zou Dui's nose also smelled the strong aroma of meat at the same time, and when he looked up, the middle-aged woman who had seen barbecue before had already respectfully walked into the tent with a plate of barbecue.
The middle-aged woman seemed to be a professional cook, and without waiting for the old man's instructions, she took out a knife, cut the barbecue into thin slices, and handed them to the people in the tent one by one, including Zou Dui's portion.
Zou Dui took the barbecue and said, "Thank you." "Just as he was about to taste the roast meat, there was a sudden chaos outside the tent, and panicked shouts were mixed with screams.
The people in the tent were all pale and a little trembling, but the old man was extremely calm, got up and said, "Do as planned." ”
Hearing the old man's words, the people in the tent seemed to have a backbone immediately, and they all calmed down, took weapons, and followed the old man out of the tent.
Zou Dui also followed out of the tent, but at first glance, he saw that the black mist was already rolling at the entrance of the passage, and between the teeth and claws, a few unlucky people were hit by the black fog and immediately turned into corpses emitting black smoke.
"What a rich demonic aura!"
Zou Dui looked at the billowing black qi at the mouth of the passage in surprise, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, before this, he had never seen such a terrifying demonic qi, even the demonic qi in Qianzhixuan's wound was nothing compared to it!
It seemed that after seeing the old man and others appear, after a short panic, the whole tribe quieted down, and the people of the tribe consciously stayed away from the terrible demonic aura at the entrance of the passage, so as not to die innocent and tragic deaths.
The old man's face was expressionless, looking at the demonic qi that was surging more and more powerfully, and he made an extremely hoarse and ugly voice with difficulty: "Sacrifice!"
In the voice of the old man, the crowd immediately took the initiative to separate, and then five old men who walked tremblingly walked over.
At this moment, the entire tribe showed a dead silence, and everyone's faces were full of helplessness and grief, which formed an extreme contrast with the demonic aura of the teeth and claws at the entrance of the passage. The five old men were obviously terrified, but they continued to walk towards the entrance of the passage step by step, without a single hesitation or stop.
Zou Dui glanced at it a few times, and already understood what was going on, and exclaimed, "You just let a few old people sacrifice like this?"
Zou Dui's voice was a little loud, attracting a lot of attention, and the old man glanced at Zou Dui and did not speak. The girl couldn't help it, and said indignantly, "Do you think we want to do this? If we don't let them die, our tribe will be finished......"
Zou Dui still couldn't accept this approach, and was about to speak, but at this time, he saw that several old people had already approached the demonic qi at the entrance of the passage. In an instant, a huge palm suddenly poked out of the demonic qi, grabbed the five old men in the palm of his hand, and when he withdrew it, the palm and the demonic qi both retreated back into the passage and disappeared.
"This ...... What is this......"
Even though it was only a cursory glance, the terrifying giant palm that could take away five people still brought Zou Dui an incomparable shock.
With such a huge palm, it is not difficult to imagine how huge the monster with this palm is, and its body is only as tall as a mountain peak! Among the things that Zou Dui has seen, perhaps only the ancient beast "Xuanwu" that he saw in the ancient tomb can be compared!
The girl's eyes next to Zou Dui showed endless hatred, and she gritted her teeth and replied to Zou Dui's exclamation: "That's the demon, the messenger who comes on time every year!"
