Suddenly a scream came from the direction of the big tent, and the huge strange face on top of the head suddenly lifted up, and then, with the eight arms dancing frantically with excitement, he moved towards the direction where the screams sounded.

The scream turned into a scream in an instant. Ke Xun couldn't tell who made it because it was too stern and distorted.

Ju Ying’s arms gathered in front of him, his body blocked Ke Xun’s sight, the screams twisted and torn in front of him, and soon there was no sound. Just when Ke Xun was ready to wait for it to turn back, However, it walked to the side of Zhou Bin Qin Ci's tent step by step, leaned down and stretched out its arms. The next moment it took a person from the tent.

This person yelled something, and then he was held by the giant hand, and the sharp and screams sounded again, stabbing people to the bones.

Ke Xun was stunned. He suddenly saw a figure flashing outside the tent. Before he could react, the curtain of his own tent had already been lifted, and he squeezed in quickly.

To be precise, there are two people, Qin Ci, carrying Zhao Dan who has fallen into a coma.

"Why—" Ke Xun just opened his mouth, was stopped by Qin Ci's mouth, and quickly placed Zhao Dan beside him, lying down with him.

Ke Xun couldn't figure it out this time. He lay confused, listening to Zhou Bin's screams and quickly disappearing into the air. The giant shadow turned around again, and walked towards the tent step by step.

Ke Xun raised his eyes and saw its huge figure standing above, six arms dancing in the sky, and the other two arms each carrying something still dripping with a stick of blood.

Ju Ying bent down, and his arms carrying things were placed on the top of the tent. The two things fell on top, reflecting the pale snow light, and they were clearly defined.

They are two complete, fresh, skeletons.

Uncoagulated blood is still stuck to the skeleton, and things that are not known as internal organs or minced meat are slowly sliding down the arc of the top of the tent.

Ke Xun stared at it, clutching the stone fragments in his hand, thinking about it later, he would give it a hard hit before he died.

Before the sky lit up, the giant shadow took its sacrifice tonight and left the ground.

Ke Xun sat up and looked at Qin Ci.

Qin Ci's face was a little haggard, she pinched her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what's going on. It stands to reason that Zhou Bin was the one who prepared the most sacrifices, but last night, that thing chose us. That tent... When Zhou Bin saw that thing was about to catch him, he asked me to bring Zhao Dan to you... Maybe, he also held the last gleam of hope for Zhao Dan. Seeing that the sacrifice he prepared didn’t work. Just let the three of us make up a group, hoping to avoid the killing of that thing."

Ke Xun looked at Zhao Dan who was still in a coma, and looked up at the red skull blood mark left on the top of the tent. The skull blood mark head, two hollow eyes seemed to be staring at Zhao Dan under his eyes.

"At least he treats his girlfriend very well." Ke Xun retracted his gaze, stood up and was about to walk out, but saw that the tent curtain was lifted from the outside, Mu Yiran stepped in with a dark face, Ke Xun's lips curled up and about Saying hello, he received a punch in the face, staggered back two steps, and lay down on the felt blanket, with two rows of nosebleeds hanging on his face looking up at Mu Yiran and smiling.

"No next time." Mu Yiran stared at him coldly, turned and walked out of the tent.

Ke Xun wiped his nose with the back of his hand, slumped on the blanket and took a few breaths, then turned his face to look at Qin Ci and smiled: "Guess why he beat me."

Qin Ci sat next to rubbing his temples: "I think it's because you chopped him out without his permission yesterday."

Ke Xunqi moved his chest and smiled twice: "Well, I thought it was a violent expression of the word'worry'."

Coming out of the tent, Ke Xun saw Mu Yiran using two felt blankets to cover the two corpses curled up on the ground not far away.

It is not accurate to say that it is curled up. The two corpses were more like rubber men who had been gassed out, piled soft and crumpled.

In the tent where Mu Yiran and Wei Dong were, the tent was half open, and the half-white face of the man sitting inside with his knees faintly exposed was Sha Liu.

When Wei Dong woke up, Zhao Dan also woke up from a coma. The pain was so painful that heart-piercing cries resounded between the tents. Zhao Dan, who was initially very courageous, pounced on the corpse of Zhou Bin's boneless body, and refused to leave if anyone would pull it.

"Why?!" Wei Dong asked Ke Xun and Mu Yiran with red eyes and clenched fists.

"Didn't all the sacrifices have been gathered? Why are they still murdered?" Dad Geng also asked tremblingly.

Qin Ci frowned tightly: "There must be something wrong. We may have made a mistake or left something behind."

"Wuhuilu, Wugong meat, Dom, libation, offering bowl, lamp, Gala, Dangka," Sha Liu held his glasses, his lips were not bloody, "We have prepared all of them, and even prepared more types. Many, why...why..."

No one answered her, and everyone fell into an unprecedented level of confusion, helplessness and panic.

"I remember now," Sha Liu's bloodshot eyes suddenly widened. "The book says that these offerings to the angry and fierce gods must be placed on the skin of the little boy! Because the skin of the little boy can Suppress the devil who is trying to destroy the worship ritual-is it because of this reason that we fall short?"

"What you are talking about is a cult at all!" Mom Geng couldn't help it anymore, yelled angrily, and stubbornly protected her child with her hands. The little boy mentioned in Sha Liu's words made her extremely nervous and alert. .

"Which serious sect would use this kind of thing as a sacrifice?!" Dad Geng also scolded angrily.

Sha Liu glanced at the Geng family in silence, and said softly, "To devote ourselves to teaching is an honor for devout believers.

"I have seen such a saying, saying that in Ganxiong, people have a high degree of devotion to the Satu religion. Even if they treat you as a friend for a second, they are as enthusiastic as you are drinking and drinking, but only a word from the elder , In the next second they can cut off your head without hesitation.

"The more people who have not been baptized by science, the greater the influence and control of faith will have on them. For them, death is not terrible. Life and death are both part of the cycle of reincarnation and return to nature. Think of this cruel and bloody sacrifice method as a terrible and inhuman thing.

"In other words, in their view, death and rebirth are both the guidance and gift of God. Life and death are equal. The body is just a stinky skin. It is not worthy of joy or dissatisfaction. Many sects even tortured the body. As a way of practicing mind and body, the more pain the body suffers, the deeper the cultivation base and the more purified the soul.

"So... it may be difficult for outsiders to accept and understand sacrifices with the body, but it may not be surprising at all in the place where the Sadaism is popular. They practice the soul, the spirit, not the **."

"Go away!" Geng's mother pointed to Sha Liu's nose and cursed, "I don't care where this is, and no matter what religion or god they believe in, our family doesn't believe this! No one should think of hitting our family's head. No matter where you heard it from, if you dare to mention one more thing, I will fight with you!"

Sha Liu didn't answer, just lowered her head and helped her glasses.

"The urgent task now," Qin Ci said, "is to find out why Zhou Bin was picked last night, otherwise others will not escape to death tonight."

While talking and thinking, he said: "Last night Zhou Bin and my tent, as well as the tent of Brother Geng's family of three, all put almost all the sacrifices we prepared, even one of the five Huilu owned by Li Ziling, Zhou Bin got his hands yesterday, plus the other four kinds of Huilu he got from Shaliu, as well as the Wugong meat he got himself, and the things he got from the Tianzangtai yesterday... those things, he returned Yisha The ones Liu said have been processed. It can be said that the sacrifices in our tent are the most complete. I don't understand why we were picked instead."

Dad Geng also thought about it and said, "Maybe he has violated some taboo. He killed the people in this painting just to obtain human flesh. He also robbed the corpse on the celestial burial platform yesterday. This, this is simply blasphemy. This behavior is likely to arouse the anger of heaven and man, so that thing will pick him!"

"It's not impossible to say that," Qin Ci pondered, and then looked at Ke Xun, "I have another question. Last night, the thing came to the tent of Xiao Ke who met the first screening criteria first. Why didn't I pick the middle and small ones? What about Ke? I don't understand this. When it looked into the tent, did Xiao Ke find anything?"

"I can't figure it out either." Ke Xun shrugged and saw Mu Yiran's gaze swept towards him coldly. The human and animal blinked harmlessly at him, and quickly retracted their gaze before Mu Yiran's sullen face and looked at Qin Ci. "But I think it actually wanted to take me out. It looked at me for a long time and felt observing me, but I didn’t know why it had been observing for such a long time."

"It may be picking the quality of this piece of meat." Wei Dong said.

"Then you shouldn't hesitate, I still have to choose my appearance?" Ke Xun said.

"I don't think it will spare anyone who does not meet the conditions," Mu Yiran said. "Li Ziling is an example. She and Zhou Bin are in the opposite situation. Zhou Bin not only meets the number of tents, but also gathers the most All sacrifices, Li Ziling neither met the number of people in the tent, nor did he have any sacrifices around him. Both of them were selected. There is only one explanation for this-the second filter condition that everyone speculated was wrong, but It cannot be ignored, Ke Xun is the only one who did not meet the first condition and survived."

"So in other words," Qin Ci looked at Ke Xun with a slight surprise, "Xiao Ke may be someone who has met the self-insurance conditions?"

Everyone's gazes immediately turned to Ke Xun's face.

Ke Xun looked down at himself: “I didn’t seem to be doing anything. I didn’t even take Wuhuilu, and I was alone in the tent at the beginning of last night. Is it possible that I still have two souls, a man and a woman. Was it taken away by them without knowing it?"

"What were you doing when that thing was by your tent last night?" Mu Yiran asked him coldly.

"Miss you." Ke Xun said.

Seeing Mu Yiran's face changed and he was about to raise his hand, Ke Xun quickly took a step to avoid the edge: "I have a wrong memory, I think about it... Well, I seem to be scolding it, and I even pointed it at the middle finger— —Is it possible to achieve it because this gesture made a mana attack on it, so it didn't dare to take me?"

"Fucking you want to say that, how many strange things have I hurt with mana since I was young?" Wei Dong slammed his middle finger.

"If it weren't for this, I don't know the reason." Ke Xun said.

"I have a guess," Mu Yiran suddenly looked at everyone, "About the setting of death conditions."
