88: Blood and flesh sacrifice

“Hoo—”

Wang Xiaohu let out a long breath, his eyes gleaming with excitement: “Xiaoxiang! Do you know who that player was just now?”

“Who?” Xiaoxiang’s face showed a bewildered expression.

“Kuangtu! I, Wang Xiaohu, actually had a day where I got to meet Kuangtu up close!”

“That player just now was Kuangtu? No way!” Xiaoxiang was startled.

“Tell me about it, I also think it’s fake.”

“Hey, are you guys still creating a guild? If not, move aside. Don’t hog the spot.” The players waiting in line urged.

“Sorry, we’ll be right there!”

Wang Xiaohu quickly walked towards the NPC counter.

A few seconds later, he let out a surprised cry: “What? Everlasting has already been taken by another player? Was it that one just now? Damn, Kuangtu’s idea actually coincided with mine!”

“This is a gift from that player just now,” the NPC lady took out a shield and placed it on the counter.

“Wang Xiaohu! Kuangtu’s shield for you! Purple quality!” Xiaoxiang cried out excitedly.

“Hehe—”

Wang Xiaohu started to giggle foolishly.

“Friend, hurry up!” The players behind urged again.

“Sorry, we’ll be right there!”

Wang Xiaohu quickly wrote down the backup guild ID in the form.

“Years.”

Everlasting Years, a perfect match.

Li Si’s figure slowly appeared near the gate of Moonfall Town.

“Beep!”

“Hint: You can view guild information on the guild interface.”

“View.”

He silently opened the guild interface.

“Everlasting”

Simple information description.

There was nothing special about it. Li Si closed the guild interface and walked into Moonfall Town. Not long after entering the gate, a decaying, foul smell assailed him.

“What is this smell?!”

Li Si closed his eyes and felt the scent: sour, rotten, dirty, subtle, like the fermented smell of a dead rat in a sewer.

“Forget it, I won’t think about it.”

After a moment of thought, he simply gave up on searching himself and decided to call Bai Yuèyue. He opened the master-disciple system and found that Bai Yuèyue and Unbearable Past were in Luanxing City, each having dropped one level.

These two guys actually died once?

Li Si easily guessed this outcome, so he sent a message telling them to come over.

“Buzz!”

The teleportation array in Moonfall Town vibrated silently, teleporting the two over.

“How did you die?”

“Uh... I accidentally lost my footing when going down the mountain and fell to my death,” Bai Yuèyue raised her hand and said.

“What about you?” Li Si looked at Unbearable Past.

“She dragged me along and we both fell to our deaths.”

“What about your talent?” Li Si was full of doubts. Falling off a cliff wasn’t scary; Unbearable Past could easily resolve it by activating his talent to reverse time by ten seconds.

Unbearable Past covered his face, his ears red, and said, “I was too nervous and forgot. By the time I reacted, 10 seconds had already passed. During the fall, after I activated my talent to rewind time, I found that I was still in mid-air.”

“You guys are something!”

Li Si complained helplessly.

“Bai Yuèyue, use your talent to check the situation inside this town, if there’s anything unusual.”

“Yes!”

Bai Yuèyue quickly raised her hand, then released her talent. In an instant, her azure eyes shimmered—

“There is indeed an anomaly. The bottom of this town is hollow, there are many corpses, and a strange aura.”

“Where is the entrance?”

“In the ancient well behind the town,” Bai Yuèyue pointed into the distance.

“I’ll go first, you two follow.”

Li Si’s figure was like a black lightning bolt, disappearing from near the teleportation plaza.

Not long after, an ancient well entered his vision.

“Boom!”

Li Si directly leaped down. A loud noise echoed in the ancient well, startling away the nearby rats.

“Beep!”

“Congratulations on reaching the hidden area—Ancient Well · Sacrifice Ritual (Level 30 - Level 35).”

Before his feet could even steady, the smell of blood and decay rushed into his nostrils. Li Si frowned deeply; the guild territory quest was now clear. It seemed the missing residents of the town had all been sacrificed.

His vision slowly recovered. He saw a passage at the bottom of the ancient well. Walking along the passage, he soon entered an underground space.

The scene that greeted his eyes was shocking.

The underground space was the size of over a dozen football fields, neatly lined with dense corpses. Each corpse had been disemboweled, organs scattered haphazardly around.

Li Si approached a corpse and saw strange patterns carved into its skin. He continued to the next corpse, which also had strange patterns carved on it. Observing carefully, he noticed a line of small text within the patterns—

“Fallen Land, accept my sacrifice.”

Fallen Land? What kind of place is this? Is it related to the Fallen God Disturbance?

Li Si’s mind was filled with thoughts.

While observing and moving forward, he soon reached the central area of the underground space. On a table made of flesh and blood, he found a book.

The book described the process of the blood sacrifice.

Gathering one hundred thousand corpses could open the gate to the Fallen Land and summon a Fallen God to bestow sweet dew, allowing one to instantly ascend to godhood.

And now there were already ninety-eight thousand corpses.

“Damn it!”

Li Si cursed inwardly. “Something from the gutter, don’t let me catch you.”

There was no other living creature in the sacrifice site.

“This proves that the person presiding over the sacrifice is not here.”

Thinking this, he decided to wait for Bai Yuèyue and have her use her talent to look carefully; perhaps she could find the one presiding over the sacrifice. Then, it would be time for thunderous action.

“Master! I’m here—”

A clear voice came from the passage, exceptionally loud in the silent underground space.

“Ugh—What is this? Ugh—”

The two young disciples had just stepped into the ritual site when they began to bend over and retch.

“Stop throwing up, hurry and activate your talent to look.”

“Yes! Ugh—”

Bai Yuèyue quickly released her talent.

“Master, this site was set up by the Mayor of Moonfall Town! Shattering this flesh and blood table can forcibly end this blood sacrifice. However, once an attack is launched on the flesh and blood table, the person presiding over the sacrifice will notice immediately.”

“It’s actually the Mayor! How hateful, these corpses are all his subjects!” Unbearable Past’s eyes were bloodshot.

“Master! I want to slice him into a thousand pieces! Lingchi him a hundred times!”

“Mm.”

Li Si nodded and asked, “Can you tell what strength the Mayor of Moonfall Town is?”

“A Level 35 Golden King!”

“Understood.”

The difficulty wasn’t high; he could kill him. Li Si decisively made his move.

A kick, imbued with the Great Wilderness Divine Power’s knockback effect, landed on the flesh and blood table.

“Boom!”

Flesh and blood flew, juices splattering.

But the flesh and blood table remained motionless, standing as solid as a rock on the ground. However, its HP bar decreased by 1%.

“Boom boom boom....”

Li Si continuously kicked hard, three kicks a second, rapidly depleting the blood table’s health. His goal was to tell the Mayor of Moonfall Town: He had arrived, and he had discovered his secret!
