Chapter 204 Sacrifice
Xiaowei and Ali hid in the reeds, carefully visiting the altar three feet away.

The priest wearing a black robe embroidered with golden thread charms beat the tambourine rhythmically, shaking her head and dancing on the altar. She sang songs praising the river god and led the crowd to worship devoutly.

There was more fog rolling over the river, and the temperature also dropped a few degrees, as if responding to people's worship.

The priest scratched Yuxiu's palm with a dagger, and dripped the blood into a bowl on the table. While blessing Yuxiu, she tapped her forehead with blood.

Enduring the pain in her palms, Yuxiu held up the half bowl of blood with both hands at the request of the priest, and tremblingly walked to the end of the altar.

There was a small boat moored there, and the mayor personally helped Yuxiu into the boat.

"Yuxiu!" Ali looked at the woman sitting in the boat, his heart hanging in his throat.

"There are too many people, now is not the time." Xiaowei held Ali who might rush out of the hiding place at any moment, and said in a low voice.

In order to guard against accidents during the ceremony, there were at least twenty strong men with long knives guarding around the altar. Ali fought against them and almost lost his life. It is really not wise to run out and fight recklessly at this time.

"But..." Compared with the people in the town, the river is more dangerous.

"Hush!" Xiao Wei squatted among the reeds not just to visit, she was already busy.

A ray of spiritual power flowed into the river silently, and attached to the aquatic plants floating in the water like long hair, they conveyed the situation in the river to her in time.

The blood of the young woman attracted the river god who lived in the depths of the river, and the undercurrent in Hanoi was surging, but the other party did not immediately come to take the sacrifices offered by the crowd, but cautiously peeped on the shore.

The priest and the mayor pushed the boat carrying Yuxiu to the middle of the misty river.

"Withdraw!" The priest said to everyone facing the humid river wind, as if he had received a message from the river god.

This is not the first time this kind of ceremony has been done. The sacrifices have already been sent to the center of the river. The river god will soon come to enjoy the young and beautiful woman. God is satisfied, and they will be able to live a peaceful life for the next month.

Everyone withdrew with the priest, and soon the river bank returned to calm, only the sound of gurgling water and the whistling cold wind could be heard.

When everyone left, Yuxiu on the boat broke her tight heartstrings. She was alone in fear and fear, and she shivered in the middle of the boat. She turned her head to look at the flickering altar, and then looked around the boat. There were layers of ripples, and tears of despair dripped down.

Hush-
Something rushed up from the bottom of the river, a string of water bubbles rushed out of the river, the ripples swirled, and gradually turned into a huge whirlpool. The boat placed in the center circled wildly with the whirlpool. The old Yuxiu couldn't sit still, and the bowl of blood in her hand fell to the side of her feet. She screamed and grabbed the side of the boat tightly with both hands, trying to stabilize her body so as not to lose her balance and fall into the river.

"Save... life... Ali... Ali... I'm so scared... help..."

Terrified and helpless, Yuxiu cried to her lover for help, even though she had heard the news that Ali was chopped and jumped into the river to die.

"Yuxiu!" The situation was critical, Ali couldn't stay still any longer, he ran out of the reeds, jumped into the river with a bang, and swam towards the small boat in the middle of the river.

Xiaowei made seals with both hands, injecting more spiritual power into the water plants in the river. Under her control, they grew wildly, and precisely entangled a huge black figure that was jumping up from the bottom of the river in the dark waters. When he opened his bloody mouth to swallow the boat and the woman in it, he dragged it back to the bottom of the river.
