Villager of Destiny

Chapter 188 Ceremony
While I was thinking, the skeleton covered in flames had rushed towards me, but it was neither a ghost nor a walking corpse, and all actions seemed to be instinctive.

When it rushed towards me, its movements were very simple, as if it just wanted to transfer the flames on its body to me.

But its speed is not fast, even a little staggered, I dodged it easily, but this seems to be just the beginning.

After I dodged, it suddenly let out a silent roar, and then the flames on its body began to spread to the surroundings. It took only a moment for the flames to not only wrap around its body, but spread to almost half of the secret room.

Under this range, I have almost no possibility of retreating.

There is no way I can only cast the Golden Light Curse.

Fortunately, the Golden Light Curse can indeed isolate those flames, but I can still feel the heat, and it only makes me sweat for a moment.

And it also seemed to become angry because of the appearance of the Golden Light Curse.

It kept rushing towards me, trying to use the flame to pass through the golden light spell on my body, and then transfer the flame to my body.

After several attempts to no avail, it stopped suddenly, and the flames on its body became more vigorous, spreading directly to the entire secret room in just a moment.

The scorching heat made the surrounding air hard to heat up in an instant, making it even difficult for me to breathe.

This is just the beginning.

After a while, it suddenly became painful and twisted, and the bones on its body began to rattle under the flames, and then began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then there was a 'boom', and it exploded directly.

I was taken aback. Under the explosion, my body was directly blown away by a huge force and smashed hard against the wall.

Even with the Golden Light Curse, I still feel very uncomfortable at this moment.

When I came back to my senses, I couldn't see any figure in front of me, and the flame dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than half a minute, the whole secret room returned to its original appearance, as if nothing happened. Nothing happened.

Only in front of that coffin.

At this time, a skeleton was missing.

This scene horrified me and confirmed my previous guess.

The explosion was almost the same as the loud noise I heard before.

In other words, those two people may have encountered such a situation like me before they were alive.

But they are just ordinary people.

So they can only die.

Not only that, but after looking around, I also unexpectedly discovered at this time that the way out of here has appeared.

It was like being blasted.

It seems to be similar to the disappearance of the hallucination that appeared at the beginning.

In short, a familiar road appeared in front of my eyes.

I thought about it and walked over.

Sure enough, soon I saw a burst of light, followed that light, and soon I walked outside, looked up, and the place where I was was the tiankeng.

It's just that if I'm not mistaken, the location I'm in now is indeed not No. [-] Tiankeng.

When I climbed outside the tiankeng, I saw figures from a distance. They were quite far away from me, but I could still see that they should be from Tiankeng Village.

And their location should be No. [-] Tiankeng.

Before I got close to them, I had already heard their conversations, not only that, but I also saw a familiar figure.

Old eighteen.

Old Shiba stood in the crowd with a serious expression on his face.

They didn't seem to notice me, and I didn't take the initiative to say hello. Instead, I stopped when I saw Old Shiba and found a place to hide temporarily.

Not long after, Old Eighteen said, "I've already found out."

"There are indeed dirty things in these eighteen pits."

"But I'm not his opponent."

"but……"

He looked at the people present and said seriously: "I made an agreement with him."

"As long as you can hold a sacrifice here tonight and kneel here devoutly all night, it won't hurt you."

"At that time, you can still bring people here to make money."

"It's that simple?" Chen Fu spoke first.

Old Shiba nodded and said, "Everyone takes what they need."

Chen Fu asked again: "Will there be any impact if you do this?"

The old eighteen said impatiently: "Anyway, I spent a lot of effort to win it for you. In order to win it for you, even..."

As he spoke, his eyes seemed to turn red.

"In short, the sacrifice has been great."

"If you still don't want to."

"Get out of here today!"

"Otherwise, I can't save you."

"I am willing." One person said: "The old eighteen is more capable than us. He has already said so. We will definitely have no problem if we follow suit."

"Anyway, I don't want to leave here. After leaving here, where can I make more money than here?"

"That's right, I listen to Old Eighteen."

"I listen too."

All of a sudden, everyone agreed, and Chen Fu also chose to agree when he saw this, without asking any more questions.

Soon the crowd dispersed as Old Eighteen said, and after a while, only Old Eighteen was left outside No. [-] Tiankeng.

The old eighteen sat on the ground casually, looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then took out a talisman from his body. He didn't know what he was saying, and then threw the talisman down.

Not long after, there were dark lights appearing in the tiankeng. Seeing those dark lights, my eyes could not help shrinking slightly. There are eighteen dark lights in total, but from a distance, I can’t see what exists under those dark lights .

But it also confirmed my previous guess.

This old eighteen does have a problem.

I am a little helpless.

I don't know whether to say that the old eighteen is unlucky or something else.

He met me.

No matter what he wants to do, he probably won't be able to do it.

I am also sighing in my heart, if this matter has something to do with Li Bowen, then I have to admire Li Bowen's strength.

Without thinking about it, I continued to stare at Old Eighteen.

After the eighteen shadows appeared for a moment, the old eighteen waved his hand again, and the eighteen shadows left one after another, as if they had returned to the tiankeng.

And the old eighteen continued to sit outside the pit that day, as if waiting for something.

I didn't go out either, I just watched from the sidelines.

Until it got dark.

People from Tiankeng Village headed by Chen Fu came here one after another.

They all held an incense burner in their hands, and three incense sticks were lit on the incense burner. After they came here, they lifted the incense burner to the top of their heads under the instruction of the old eighteen, and then knelt outside the tiankeng.

That way, I am somewhat familiar.

I seem to have seen it somewhere.

But for a while, I couldn't think of it.

But I can be sure.

It was indeed a ritual of some sort.

As the ceremony began, Old Eighteen once again faced the No. [-] Tiankeng, and he took out a talisman from his body. At the same time, the talisman turned into a ball of fire and fell directly into the No. [-] Tiankeng.

Soon.

The surroundings suddenly vibrated.

Then gray mist drifted out of Tiankeng No. [-], rushing to the surroundings in an instant.
