Online game: I have super god-level talent

Lin Tianhao understood.

"It's like the Northeast Shaman's practice of enshrining deities; it doesn't necessarily require the deities to reach a certain level."

"But once the deity breaks through, their altar will also prosper."

The Drunken Monk nodded with a smile, saying:

"That's right, that's the principle."

At this point.

The Drunken Monk paused slightly before continuing:

"However."

"Dragon Keepers are not quite the same as Shamans. Whether it's a boa or a蛟 (jiao, a mythical dragon-like creature), they have certain requirements for their living environment."

"At least."

"To make them stronger as quickly as possible, the requirements for this living environment are relatively high."

"Therefore, most Dragon Keepers are in the deep mountains and old forests, not contacting outsiders for a hundred, or even several hundred years."

Lin Tianhao smiled awkwardly, saying:

"Aren't these people bored?"

"Each faction develops differently. Dragon Keepers can interact with animals. In the deep mountains and old forests, there are many animals. For Dragon Keepers, it's actually lively."

The Drunken Monk explained with a smile:

"Including Director Zuo, if he doesn't have a mission, he likes to delve into the deep mountains and old forests."

During the conversation.

The group finally arrived inside Aolong Village.

It was already past five in the afternoon, and because Aolong Village was in a mountain hollow, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

This made Aolong Village much darker.

Standing at the entrance of Aolong Village, the burly middle-aged man said:

"Gentlemen, I have a general understanding of the situation in Aolong Village."

"It is mainly inhabited by people with the surnames Ye, Li, Zhou, and Wang."

"There are also people with surnames other than these four, but they are basically married into the village."

"In addition, what's worth mentioning in this village is that the four major families each have their own ancestral halls."

"This is very rare in small villages in these deep mountains and old forests."

Lin Tianhao raised his eyebrows, listening to the middle-aged man's words.

The four larger buildings he saw when he passed by here before should be the ancestral halls of the four families.

"Moreover."

"In these four ancestral halls, there is a well, which is also very strange."

"The underground river is right next to it, yet they still dig their own wells in the village."

"And, they dig them in their own ancestral halls."

Hearing this.

The Drunken Monk said very confidently:

"Listening to you, it can almost be confirmed that this is a gathering place for Dragon Keepers."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Fist Emperor frowned and said:

"I heard Director Zuo say before that Dragon Keepers usually form their own families and rarely interact with outsiders."

"How can there be four families in this village?"

Daoist Yexin chuckled, saying:

"It is indeed strange, but it's not impossible to explain. After all, if the feng shui here is exceptionally good, attracting four or five Dragon Keeper families at the same time is understandable."

At this point.

Daoist Yexin shook his head again, saying:

"However."

"The feng shui in Aolong Village is indeed good, but not to mention in Dragon Country, even just looking at these Qinling Mountains, there should be no fewer than five treasures with such feng shui."

"These guys have no reason to cluster here."

Old Man Xia Jian nodded seriously, "If that's the case, then it means that there must be something here that we haven't discovered."

Daoist Yexin smiled helplessly, "Although I understand feng shui, I'm not a top expert in this field after all. I may not have seen the full picture of the feng shui here."

"He didn't say anything about feng shui, but there is one thing that impressed me deeply. Director Zuo said that the people of Aolong Village have become sacrifices."

"Sacrifices?"

"Living sacrifices?"

Zuo Tianyang frowned. There are not many people who still perform living sacrifices these days.

Even if someone occasionally performs a living sacrifice, it's usually small animals like chickens and ducks. There aren't many people who use cattle and sheep.

As for people…

In recent years, only 'living human stakes' might do this kind of thing, but it has been severely cracked down on, and no one dares to do this kind of thing recently.

But Aolong Village is, after all, a village. Sacrificing hundreds of people from a village is too strange.

The group arrived at the ancestral hall closest to the underground river.

The plaque on the ancestral hall was gone, and the entrance was covered in dust, appearing dilapidated and desolate.

"Something's strange."

Lin Tianhao slowly spoke.

"It looks like this place has been abandoned for several years, but why are there no weeds or spiderwebs?"

If a house in the countryside has no owner for a long time, the most obvious features are weeds and spiderwebs.

Even the cracks in the walls may grow weeds.

"It's empty underneath, so naturally there are no weeds. As for the spiderwebs, it should be the situation Director Zuo mentioned before, all the animals within a few kilometers have left," Old Man Xia Jian said.

He is blind, although he can't see, he can sense more things.

Hearing this, Daoist Yexin stomped hard on the stone slab under his feet.

"It seems to be really empty, but the thickness should be five or six meters, so you wouldn't notice it when walking on it."

"Five or six meters…"

The burly middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said:

"Wouldn't that mean it's connected to the underground river below?"

"Yes."

Daoist Yexin nodded, "We already realized this problem when you said that these ancestral halls all have wells."

"The wells lead to the underground river, which is the feeding entrance for the families' [dragons]."

While speaking.

Daoist Yexin had already arrived inside the ancestral hall.

"The well is in the backyard of the ancestral hall."

The burly middle-aged man seemed to know what Daoist Yexin was looking for and couldn't help but speak.

Daoist Yexin nodded, simply checking the situation inside the ancestral hall.

The spirit tablets in the ancestral hall were all gone, as if someone had collected them.

"That's interesting, everyone is dead, who collected these spirit tablets?" Fist Emperor laughed.

"Maybe they realized they were becoming sacrifices from the beginning, it's not impossible to collect the spirit tablets in advance," Old Man Xia Jian said.

The group passed through the main hall of the ancestral hall and arrived at the backyard of the ancestral hall.

There was indeed a well in the backyard of the ancestral hall, and this well was obviously larger than a regular well.

The diameter of a normal well is usually 0.6 meters to 1 meter.

And the diameter of this well should be no less than two meters!

At this time, the well opening was covered with a heavy stone lid.

Fist Emperor took the initiative to step forward. The stone lid, which weighed at least one hundred kilograms, was easily lifted up by Fist Emperor.

Putting down the well lid.

Fist Emperor looked down into the well.

With just one glance.

Fist Emperor seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the burly middle-aged man.
