I have a city in another world

Chapter 7078 The Demon God's Ramblings

With a little discernment, Feng Jiu Kui was able to determine that these inner city residents had all died unnatural deaths.

There is a 90% chance that he inhaled some kind of deadly poison gas in an enclosed space.

They did not die at the hands of the enemy, but were killed by their own people, becoming sacrifices in this death offering.

One can imagine how unwilling and desperate these inner-city residents must have felt before they died.

Despite all the careful planning, he was betrayed by his own people. He not only became a pawn and was not taken away by the higher-ups when they evacuated, but he was even used as part of a sacrificial ritual.

The person in charge of the sacrificial ceremony clearly knew this beforehand and began planning it even before the war broke out.

Therefore, it can be determined that the person who offered the sacrifice must have been of high status, and was very likely a high-ranking official in the mountain city settlement.

Feng Jiu Kui sneered. Those guys who claim to be righteous are actually more despicable and filthy in their hearts than they appear upright on the surface.

Feng Jiu Kui certainly wouldn't pity these offerings; they had nothing to do with him, and there was no need to pay them too much attention.

Furthermore, their status as sacrificial offerings destined them for this calamity; they were not residents of the inner city and could not have been easily chosen.

Following the collapsed and damaged passage, Feng Jiu Kui continued forward, dodging all sorts of dangers along the way.

Aside from the chain reaction damage caused by the breakage, the rampant demonic and spiritual energy can also pose a deadly threat.

Otherworldly demonic energy has a deadly destructive effect on living beings. Along the way, many corpses whose blood and souls had been extracted were turned into zombies after being corrupted by the demonic energy.

Zombies are extremely obsessed with flesh and blood, and most of them are nocturnal, attacking any living creature they encounter.

After this sacrifice, the mountain city settlement will become a monster's lair, making it unsuitable for continued reproduction and survival.

If you have the courage, you can enter this place to search for supplies, but you will face all sorts of risks.

A slight mistake could cost you your life.

In the eyes of major organizations, such gathering places are greatly diminished in value. They might send people to collect them in a rescue effort, but they would definitely not invest more resources in their development.

For survivors and expeditions, however, it was a treasure trove, worth the risk of exploring and searching.

One thing is certain: the nearby city ruins will inevitably become very lively in the future, with a large number of survivors using them as their base.

As Feng Jiu Kui moved forward, he carefully discerned the exact location of the sacrificial ceremony.

As he continued forward, he was astonished to find that he had arrived at the central area of ​​the inner city.

According to previously gathered intelligence, this area is a high-end residential area, and ordinary inner-city residents are not qualified to approach it.

To conduct a sacrificial ceremony here is truly audacious; they really aren't afraid of being discovered by the higher-ups in other settlements.

What?! They've all run away!

Oh, then it's alright.

The leaders of the fleeing settlement will certainly not care what happens after they leave. They don't care if their homes are demolished or even if the spiritual veins are destroyed.

No, things might not be that simple.

Feng Jiu Kui suddenly realized that the high-ranking officials of the mountain city settlement who had fled might not really want to destroy the spiritual vein.

It's even possible that they were completely unaware of the matter and were kept in the dark the whole time.

If that's true, it's truly a great injustice; they've been unfairly burdened with a huge black mark for no reason.

No matter where you go, the stain of the crime of destroying the spiritual veins can never be easily erased.

To prevent the secret from being leaked, the central area of ​​the inner city had long been cleared out, and no one else was allowed to enter.

Outsiders had no idea that the local residents had all fled, and during the outbreak of the war, some even made various requests.

However, all these messages disappeared without a trace, and there was no response whatsoever.

At this moment, the city's residents must have realized that they have become pawns abandoned by the higher-ups.

Although they knew this, it was meaningless, because the ensuing war and sacrifices completely cut off their chance of escape. As Feng Jiu Kui advanced, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

In one area ahead, the concentration of demonic energy far exceeded that of other places, and there was a special energy fluctuation that seemed to belong to another world.

This made his heart pound, and he instantly realized that he had found the sacrificial site.

Don't panic, stay calm, and absolutely don't get discovered!

If discovered by the sacrificial recipient, death is certain.

He constantly reminded himself to minimize his presence and to use magic to conceal his form.

Then he saw a road sign that said "Stadium" and pointed to a passage in the mountainside.

Following the passage, it wasn't long before we saw a bowl-shaped open space that dipped downwards.

This stadium was transformed using the terrain, with stone seats all around and a large, flat area in the center.

Above the stadium, there are numerous lights and something resembling a transparent dome.

It can reflect sunlight, making this place as bright as day.

At this moment, dozens of people are standing around the stadium, each holding a large flag.

These flags are covered with various symbols and words, as well as eye-like patterns.

A wind, seemingly from nowhere, blew these large flags, causing them to flutter and make a sound.

The eye pattern on the flag flashes continuously as it is waved, as if it has come to life, giving people a creepy feeling.

In the center of the stadium, there is a table with various items on it.

Three figures stood in front of the table.

There is also a huge statue, which appears to be many snakes intertwined and surrounding a huge eye.

At that moment, one of the eyes emitted a blood-red light, accompanied by a series of indistinct yet eerily strange murmurs.

Upon hearing the voice, Feng Jiu Kui's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

But a raging storm was brewing in his heart.

Feng Jiu Kui was no stranger to this scene; participants in the Blood Demon Sect's sacrificial rituals could also hear similar sounds.

These are the murmurs of a demon god, and few can understand their meaning. But it doesn't matter; as long as this kind of sound is heard, it means that the object of the sacrifice has responded.

Each sacrificer was instructed not to listen to or understand these ramblings, otherwise it would cause severe psychological trauma, and might even drive them insane and turn them into madmen or monsters.

Every now and then, cultivators would be affected by the delirious ramblings of the demon god and go insane. They would either be killed by their companions who would seize their opportunities and refine them, or they would flee into the wilderness.

Some members of large spiritual organizations practice specific methods to combat these terrifying delusions.

Feng Jiu Kui had cultivated before, and upon hearing the babbling, he automatically activated the technique as a conditioned reflex.

This made him secretly glad, because if he hadn't had this kind of experience, he might have been controlled and become a slave or nourishment controlled by the alien demon god.

The unexpected incident made him more cautious, fearing that he might fall victim to it again.

Not only will you not gain any benefits, but you might also lose your life, and by then it will be too late to cry.

As I was thinking this, I suddenly saw a red light, about three meters high, pop up on the ground of the stadium.

At the lower end of the red light, there appeared to be an object radiating astonishing energy fluctuations.

Without a doubt, this is a rare and precious treasure.

"It's time for the sacrificial reward!"

Feng Jiu Kui was excited and immediately began to observe carefully, his eyes filled with greed and desire.
