Chapter 268 Blood sacrifice
Xia Yu speculated that the black cat must have sacrificed the Shadow in the Stone, and then received some kind of task from the Shadow in the Stone, so she wanted to give the black gem to the villagers. Once the person wearing the Black Stone dies, his blood will be absorbed by the Black Stone. As for where it is absorbed, there is no need to ask, it must be transferred to the big stone through some mysterious force, so blood-colored patterns appear on the stone statue and a beating red light appears.
Could that shadow in the stone be resurrected in this way? But in what way will it be resurrected?
If he absorbed enough blood, what kind of existence would it become?
Various questions still bother Xia Yu, but one thing is certain. Since the game has arranged this resurrectable wave SS, it must have some conditions that seem to be able to achieve resurrection.
I don’t know how many people in the village have died. How many of these people are wearing black stones? These villagers are not very smart. If the black cat gives them black stones, they will most likely accept them.
From this point of view, the shadow in the stone must be not far from resurrection.
Xia Yu looked at the soldier's dry corpse and suddenly thought of a question. This soldier appeared later. Why did he have black stones on him? In this way, the black cat must be alive. Could it be that the black cat is the last surviving civilian player?
Wouldn't that mean that as long as you kill Black Cat, you will win in this game?
Xia Yu's heart moved. It might be a bit tricky to deal with the leader, but if it were just the newcomer Black Cat, it would be much easier.
No, I have to go to the mine to see it. If the black cat’s target is the shadow in the resurrection stone, then she will definitely go over and check it out, and she can just wait for the rabbit to wait.
Otherwise, the black cat will resurrect the shadow in the stone. If that thing listens to her coming to oppose him, it will be dangerous.
Xia Yu thought about flying towards the mine cave.
Soon we arrived at the entrance of the mine, Xia Yu landed. On the ground, we could see a row of messy footprints. It seemed that someone had come and there were quite a few people.
Xia Yu was calculating in his heart and carefully touched the depths of the mine. When he approached the cave of the old statue of the god, he heard a strange sound from afar, like a spell, and carefully identified it. Xia Yu quickly heard the content of the sound clearly, and suddenly there was a black line.
"Heaven Lingling, Earth Lingling, can you finish your business quickly? Mommy and Mommy coax, pineapple mother coax, and resurrect me quickly! Shadow in the stone, why are you still dawdling?"
It was the sound of the black cat. He quietly touched it and appeared silently at the entrance of the mine cave. He hid in the dark and peeked into it. He lit a torch in the cave. The fire lighted the cave brightly. A group of villagers were gathering in a circle and praying at the stone statue. The black cat was wearing a black cloak, wearing a thorn crown, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and a bunch of bells and skulls were tied to it. He was shaking the staff in his hand while muttering something. He muttered and said, "It was obviously a prayer she DIYed," as if the cult master was doing it.
The red light on the chest of the stone statue became more and more powerful, and the blood-colored patterns continued to spread, and the black figure inside was also slowly squirming, like a living thing, as if it would emerge from it at any time.
A believer suddenly raised his head, "Master Prophet, the great true God has not moved for a while. Should we add some sacrifices?"
The black cat pinched his chin and thought for a moment, nodded, "That's right, it seems that we have to give some more blood to the great true god, so who will?"
"I!"
"let me!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it!"
The believers all signed up enthusiastically, and Xia Yu suddenly found that these people seemed to be villagers from the previous village, and for some reason they were fooled by the black cat.
"Okay, then you." The black cat pointed to one of them, and the man immediately stood up excitedly, picked up a knife and cut off his neck. Blood suddenly flowed all over the ground. The blood seemed to have been attracted by some kind of attraction, turning into a gurgling blood flowing to the stone statue, and was soon absorbed by the blood-colored patterns.
"Okay, let's continue! Heavenly Lingling and Earth Lingling, can you be resurrected quickly?..."
Xia Yu didn't know what he should think. Isn't this girl an investigator? Why did the thick eyebrows and big eyes also become a cult? It looks like her identity is not ordinary.
If you don’t care, take it down first, these villagers are all divided, and it doesn’t seem to be any threat.
Papa, Xia Yu clapped his hands and slowly walked out of the darkness, "Oh, Black Cat, it's been a long time since we met. I'm glad you're still alive. What are you doing? It's a study party or a barbecue dinner, why don't you call me one?"
When the black cat saw Xia Yu's face change, he waved his hand without saying a word: "Kill him!"
Several cultists rushed towards him immediately, but these cultists were not his opponents. Xia Yu grabbed one casually, twisted his neck with a click, avoided the scimitar of another cult, kicked it away, and grabbed the third leader and bit it down. He deliberately did not use sharp blades or claws, either twisted his neck or kicked his chest, or even put it on his mouth, and he would definitely not let blood flow out.
Seeing Xia Yu so powerful, the black cat lost his wooden stick and actually took out two pistols from his arms. The very old-fashioned flintlock musket was quite retro, so he pointed it at Xia Yu and pulled the trigger.
Xia Yu didn't dare to be arrogant. Who knew if this black cat had added fuel to the bullet? He had been shot once, so how could he be unprepared? Although his speed was not as fast as the bullet, it was still fine if it was faster than the black cat's reaction speed. As soon as the opponent pulled the trigger, he suddenly flashed. With a bang, the bullet shot in the air, as if he could dodge the bullet out of thin air.
Although the bullet did not shoot him, the sound was particularly deafening in the mine cave. Xia Yu's brain was buzzing. There was no way, and it was a problem to hear it too well.
After two shots, the black cat was gone. He was in a hurry and wanted to re-install the bullets. Xia Yu walked towards her leisurely and looked at the black cat with a smile. The black cat was panicked. In addition, the first time he used this flintlock musket, his hands shivered and bullets and gunpowder were spread all over the floor.
He was so anxious that he simply smashed the musket towards Xia Yu. Xia Yu didn't even hide, and let the musket hit him, but he still approached the black cat step by step.
The black cat pulled out the dagger from his waist and held it in front of him.
"Hey, hey, don't come over, don't come over, we have something to say, do you still remember? I've also found a sacrifice for you."
Xia Yu smiled slightly, but the blood at the corner of his mouth did not give him any kindness.
"You are not dead. Let me guess, do you have a hidden profession?"
The black cat didn't hide it, "Yes, hiding professional pagans can develop subordinates among villagers. I finally developed a few subordinates, and I just let you kill them."
"So you are the last civilian? Does that mean that as long as you kill you, I will win?"
"No, the leader is not dead, he also has a hidden profession, and he has been resurrected. It's useless to kill me. Can you do me a favor and wait until I finish this task before taking action?"
Xia Yuqi said: "What's the use of doing missions? This game cannot bring equipment out."
Black Cat explained: "Although I can't bring out the equipment, but knowledge is OK. You shouldn't still treat this game as a simple game world, right? Since this world has gods, magic and witchcraft, these knowledge should be useful in reality, so I came here to do this branch line. Anyway, even if I win, there are only 10 raw stones. What's wrong with it? It's better to learn some magic."
Xia Yu shook his head when he heard this: "Do you have magic? What can you do if you learn it?"
The black cat smiled, "Haha, don't you think magic is the kind in the game, the blue bar mage, right? And what's the value of mana?"
Xia Yu asked back: "Isn't it?"
"Maybe there is indeed such magic, but the most primitive version of magic is much simpler, which is the use of supernatural powers. It may be a spell, a mysterious ritual, or a potion made of some special materials. It does not necessarily require magic or something.
The Shadow in the Stone promised me that as long as I help it come, I will teach me this knowledge. In fact, I have learned some, such as the blood sacrifice ceremony just now."
Xia Yuxin said, be good, this black cat looks like a lively little girl, but she didn't expect that she would have such a heavy taste and a strong desire for knowledge.
Black Cat's words are correct, such as unlocking. Although he does not have lock-opening skills in reality, he can actually unlock some simple locks in reality with his experience and memory in the game.
So if he let it go, maybe the Black Cat could really learn some witchcraft from the Shadow of the Stone. However, after thinking about it, Xia Yu decided to avoid adding variables, "Sorry, I think it's safer to die."
"Hey, hey, hey..." The black cat wanted to struggle, but Xia Yu grabbed the black cat's neck without saying a word and was about to get down.
At this moment, with a gurgle, Xia Yu turned his head and saw some black liquid gradually seeping out of the stone statue. It was the figure inside the stone. It actually started to move, wriggling as if it was about to crawl out of the stone statue.
"Haha, it's successful!" Black Cat shouted excitedly.
The next second, Xia Yu bit him on his neck.
Sure enough, the girl's blood tastes good, much better than the blood of the soldiers and beasts I drank before. Although it is slightly different from the blood of Chuxue, it also has a unique flavor.
Xia Yu gulped his mouth and sucked it dry in one breath, but there was no prompt to win.
