Divine Phoenix Empress

Chapter 8

However, the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole were behind, and at the moment Leng Yuehuang pulled the stunned Mama Liu into a run, a large white net fell from the sky, and the four men in black robes each held a corner of the large net to catch Leng Yuehuang and Liu Ma. Mom covers.

If it's just a simple net, it's fine, but every ice silk in this net is coated with sleeping powder, which can be absorbed instantly when it touches the skin.

Falling asleep on the ground, Leng Yuehuang saw the blue sky and a red eagle hovering in the sky...

In the final scene of the grand sacrificial ceremony, sixty pigs, sixty sheep, sixty cows, and sixty chickens were burned alive after the high priest Hehecha lit the sacrificial fire.

Because these animals were fed with the feed mixed with sleeping powder in advance, these animals were still quiet at the beginning of the fire burning their bodies, but when the fire began to burn their muscles, internal organs, and bone marrow, these poor animals still let out a miserable cry. howling...

However, no matter how painful their bodies were and how terribly they screamed, they still could not escape the fate of being burned to death in the end.

The smell of sacrificial candles, the smell of pine oil torches, the smell of burnt hair, the fishy smell of burning flesh... Soon, this disgusting mixed smell filled the air.

But those devout believers and the people of Moon City still maintained high enthusiasm.

As night fell and the sky-high fireworks were ignited, the eighteen maidens who were offering sacrifices were carried up to the high sacrificial platform.

The eyes of those pious people are shining, full of bloodshot eyes.

Seeing girls tied to cross stakes and wearing long white dresses, they all went crazy.

They raised their arms high and shouted loudly towards the front, wishing to spit out all the breath in their lungs to make their voices higher-pitched.

"Burn them!"

"Burn them!"

"Sacrifice to the gods!"

"Burn them!"

I don't know who yelled first, and the excited people all yelled wildly.

Leng Yuehuang became somewhat conscious in a daze, but she couldn't move her limbs.

She could feel the choking smell of smoke going up her nose.

Those noisy shouts made her understand what happened.

Must have been caught as a sacrifice.

Although offering sacrifices is a very honorable thing in Moon City and even the entire Ancient Moon Kingdom, but no one is willing to sacrifice when it's their turn.

Donating some cattle and sheep is nothing more than giving one's own life. Often the people who shout the loudest are those bystanders, and those who sacrifice their lives are children from poor families, vagrants and slaves.

Leng Yuehuang maintained the killer's unique calmness, secretly assessing the surrounding environment.

By feeling, judge the speed of burning dry wood under your feet...

If you haven't reported your revenge, you must not just die like this!

Gritting her silver teeth, she closed her eyes and slowed down her breathing. Gradually, her mind went blank, and the noise and crowd around her seemed to have disappeared.

She slowly felt and tried...

A trace of joy emerged from the corners of his eyes and brows.

Fortunately, the bone shrinking function can also be used in this body.

"His Royal Highness," Zhan Kong said anxiously, before it would be too late.

"Wait a little longer," Bei Mingao remained calm.His face was stern, as firm as a mountain.

"Gu——!" A long cry sounded, and a red eagle flew out from the mansion of the High Priest of Hehecha.

Bei Mingao pursed his lips, and a faint sneer appeared on his cold face.

Waving his hand, Zhan Kong immediately jumped up.

Almost at the same time, twenty or so men in ordinary clothes suddenly took off their robes, revealing their silver armor, and rushed up to the sacrificial altar with sharp silver steel knives in their hands...
