Chapter 448 Sacrifice Ceremony
Due to limited information, others did not think as much as Chen Ziyan thought. At the moment, they were all focused on the issues raised by Chen Ziyan, wondering what to do without alarming the snakes. Under the premise, successfully raise the snake eyes needed for the sacrifice.
This is not an easy task.
Just looking at the entangled energy of the snakes, you will know that if you are not careful at that time, it may affect the whole body, and the most important thing is that the characteristics of snakes are there, even if It may not be possible to catch him directly, let alone using tools at such a distance. He might die before he can get out of the attack.
Hu Bayi thought for a while, but couldn't find a suitable solution. He said with some frustration: "Mr. Chen, this job is not easy!"
Not to mention that he didn't have any suitable things at hand, even if he did, he didn't think he could do it.
"It's okay, you should be able to do it if you work hard."
Chen Ziyan was not surprised by this. To be honest, he never expected Hu Bayi at all. He has specialization in the art, such as Feng Shui. He didn't doubt Hu Bayi's ability, whether it was Taoism or fighting with guns and fire, but even he couldn't do such a delicate job, let alone Hu Bayi.
When he raised this question, a suitable candidate already appeared in his mind.
If Chen Wenjin hadn't appeared, it would have definitely been Shirley Yang. But since Chen Wenjin, who has unique skills, is now in the team, how could there be a second choice for this task?
The Chen family's nine-claw hook is not only useful for moving around and protecting against enemies, but it is also useful for getting objects into your hands silently. It seems that from such a commanding angle, it shouldn't be difficult to catch some snakes.
With this thought in his heart, Chen Ziyan planned to express his thoughts and listen to everyone's opinions.
After hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Hu Bayi thought for a while and said, "This method can work, but the problem is..."
Although he did not say it explicitly, several people said It could be heard that Hu Bayi also believed that the unique skill of Nine-claw Hook met their requirements, but he expressed doubts about Chen Wenjin's mastery.
But this is reasonable. After all, given Chen Wenjin's age, he is considered a young man in front of Hu Bayi. It is normal for him to have doubts.
Chen Ziyan was about to explain, but he didn't expect Black Glasses to suddenly say: "Don't worry, Miss Chen has been playing with the unopened nine-claw hook since she could walk. It is not an exaggeration to say that she started learning it right after she was born. Now, except for her father, no one is as accomplished as her in this strange weapon."
Hu Bayi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan thinks that having black glasses is enough. After all, if anyone in the team knows Chen Wenjin best, black glasses may be ranked ahead of Huo Ling.
After all, Black Glasses has been affiliated with Chen Pi Ah Si for many years. Maybe he grew up watching Chen Wenjin.
"Let's try it first, we don't have a better way now." Shirley Yang glanced at everyone and made the final decision.
She actually planned to do it by herself. After all, there were many dangers in the process. The one below was Jingjian Ahan. If it went out of control after getting it up, the specific operator would be the one closest to it, and The most dangerous person.
But after hearing what Black Glasses said, Shirley Yang felt that Chen Wenjin might be much better than herself. Although she had a deep grasp of the application of Flying Tiger Claws, Flying Tiger Claws and Nine Claws The hook is essentially different. The main function of the Flying Tiger Claw is to assist in climbing. It is basically close to none in terms of subtle control. It cannot be compared with the famous Nine-claw Hook.
Seeing that Shirley Yang also agreed with his idea, Chen Ziyan did not hesitate anymore and directly motioned to Chen Wenjin and Wang Kaixuan to remove the earplugs blocking their ears and told her his idea.
Of course, he did not forget his previous plan, and asked Chen Wenjin what he thought of Shirley Yang's decision.
After Chen Wenjin thought for a while, he first agreed to Chen Ziyan's request: "I can do it, but it just takes some time."
Then she talked about Shirley Yang's decision: "Should we reconsider this idea? Although it makes sense logically, I feel it is a bit too crazy."
She felt that Shirley Yang was not convinced of herself The situation is too low, and the oil has not really run out yet, so there is no need to take such desperate measures.
Shirley Yang shook her head gently at her, without explaining too much. She just softly uttered three words: "I'm tired."
Yes, she was tired.
Although the fact may be as Chen Wenjin said, there is still room for reconsideration, but she no longer wants to do that.
She planned to completely follow her inner guidance and make a gamble about the future in a way that seemed crazy to outsiders.
If she can succeed, then the curse that everyone carries will cease to exist. If she can't succeed, then she has already achieved the best she can.
Chen Ziyan just doesn’t know what Shirley Yang is thinking, otherwise he would definitely tell her that if he had said that he was following his inner guidance, wouldn’t that mean he was stable?
In order to prevent accidental injuries, when Chen Wenjin was catching the snake, Chen Ziyan pushed everyone else behind, leaving only Huahu and himself on the edge of the stone platform.
He is responsible for dealing with the caught snake as soon as possible, and Huahu's responsibility is to stand in front of Chen Wenjin as soon as possible when an accident occurs.
Although Chen Wenjin is very confident in his ability, this kind of thing belongs to the type of people who are not afraid of ten thousand or just in case. Chen Ziyan naturally cannot take any protective measures, so he keeps Huahu with her. Act as a human shield at critical moments.
Anyway, even if the flower fox is bitten, it will be fine. Isn't this the best protective measure?
After all preparations were made, Chen Wenjin started her action. She stood on the edge of the stone platform and stared at the snakes below. The nine-claw hook in her hand was shaking at a uniform speed. , waiting to take action after locking the target.
Chen Ziyan was two steps behind her, holding the tools to be used, waiting to kill the snake and get the eyes.
In the next moment, the nine-claw hook in Chen Wenjin’s hand flew away like lightning. When Chen Ziyan reacted, the fallen nine-claw hook had already grabbed a two-finger-thick Jingjian Ahan and flew back. , under Chen Wenjin's intentional control box, the nine-claw hook that firmly imprisoned Jingjian Ahan slowly appeared in front of Chen Ziyan.
Chen Ziyan, who had been prepared for a long time, used a tool to clamp down on the head of the Jingjian Ahan after the nine-claw hook appeared. Then the dagger in his other hand quickly and accurately landed on the snake's head. There was a splash of blood, and Snake Eyes landed firmly on the container that had been prepared below.
After all this was over, the Wushuang ghost standing behind Chen Ziyan stretched out his big hand and directly stuffed Jingjian Ahan, who was struggling crazily because of the loss of his eyes, into a pocket sewn with multiple layers of leather, and then fiercely He kneaded the pocket a few times, and when he let go of his hand, Jingjian Ahan inside the pocket was already dead.
According to this rhythm, it didn’t take long for Chen Ziyan and the others to collect the required eyeballs.
There were mistakes and omissions in this process, but they were all passed safely without any danger, so I won’t explain them again. There seem to be a lot of grooves in the stone facilities, but in fact there are not as many as imagined. It is just a visual misleading.
After placing the collected snake eyes neatly in the grooves, Shirley Yang unloaded her backpack and other items, and walked lightly to another stone facility nearby.
Chen Ziyan looked at her and asked, "Would you like to wait a little longer?"
Shirley Yang shook her head gently: "I'm ready, let's start now."
After finishing speaking, she turned over dexterously and entered the stone facility. After showing a smile to everyone, she slowly closed her eyes and lay down.
After Shirley Yang lay down in the stone facility, Chen Ziyan came to the side immediately. One of his hands was pressed on his weapon, and the other hand was resting on the edge. superior.
Although he said he was resigned to his fate, how could he remain indifferent in the face of failure? Chen Ziyan's actions had clearly told others that if there was a problem, he would definitely kill Shirley Yang from the inside as soon as possible. Get it out.
No one objected to this, because they all had similar ideas.
While everyone was watching Shirley Yang's movements nervously, the Muchen Bead placed on the stone pillar vessel first changed, and the light that was originally just shrouded nearby suddenly began to glow. The crazy expansion soon completely illuminated the entire space under everyone's gaze.
“Woooooooo——”
And just when the whole space was as bright as day, strange voices like singing and crying suddenly came from the place full of Jingjian Ahan’s From the abyss.
The sound sounded like countless women reciting some kind of scripture with weird syllables, or like countless women crying.
Just when Chen Ziyan and the others were trying to distinguish whether the sudden sound was chanting scriptures or crying, a change appeared in front of them again, and they saw slowly rising in the abyss entrenched by the snakes. A puff of gray mist.
This weird mist seemed to have some other kind of attraction. The moment it appeared, it provoked those Jingjian Agans to scramble for each other crazily, and they began to fight cruelly with each other.
"Mr. Chen, something seems wrong." Hu Bayi couldn't help but said when he saw the changes in the snakes below.
According to what they knew about the culture of the demon country, Jingjian Ahan’s status was not low, and there was no reason for him to be so consumed in the sacrificial ceremony.
Moreover, there are already corresponding sacrifices for this sacrifice, so this kind of fighting seems even more unreasonable.
Chen Ziyan looked at the gray mist that was constantly being swallowed by the snakes but kept emerging, and a guess emerged in his mind: "I think those mist should represent the resentment of the female corpse below."
However, Chen Ziyan did not have much confidence when he said this, because it was really just his guess and there was no evidence to prove it.
"Resentment?" Wang Kaixuan tilted his head: "If this is resentment, how many corpses are hidden underneath?"
His thinking mode is a little different from others. While the person was still wondering whether this was a matter of resentment, he had already thought about the number of sources of resentment.
However, Chen Ziyan felt that Wang Kaixuan's idea was indeed correct. Judging from the current scale, the gray fog below was simply a steady stream. It was really difficult to tell how many corpses were there.
“Bang——”
Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about this problem, new changes appeared again. As the fighting between Ahan and Ahan became more intense below, there was a gray mist. After more emerged, a huge figure suddenly broke through the barrier and poked its head out from the depths.
That was a giant Jingjian Ahan. The diameter of the snake body alone must be two or three meters, and the length is impossible to estimate. It seems that this guy has only stretched out part of his body, but But it was almost level with the stone platform where Chen Ziyan and the others were.
The sudden appearance of the giant snake caused the people closest to the stone platform to subconsciously step back. To put it bluntly, with the size of this giant snake, there is really no problem in taking one bite at a time. Considering the exaggerated opening and closing of the snake's snout, it is estimated that even if they are tied together, this big guy can swallow it in one gulp.
However, after the giant snake stretched out its body, it did not rise again because its body was severely restrained.
The people standing on the edge of the stone platform could clearly see that the giant snake had no intention of stopping after it broke out of the obstacle, but had a premonition to continue upwards.
But before the giant snake could put it into action, the gray mist that appeared in front began to condense into gray chains, passing through the giant snake's body in an inexplicable state, pulling it away. Firmly locked at the current height.
Obviously, the appearance of these gray fogs is for this giant snake.
Just when everyone was puzzled by the scene in front of them, the blue-robed Tibetan suddenly said: "These fogs are a curse!"
The blue-robed Tibetan was confused about this at first, but after seeing the mist turning into chains and locking the giant snake there, he immediately thought of a secret he had read in the classics.
According to legend, a long time ago, there was a way to condense resentment and pain and turn it into a curse. However, this method has been lost long ago, so he failed to think of it at the first time.
"Curse?" Chen Ziyan looked at him and asked, "What kind of curse is this?"
It was not that he completely believed what the blue-robed Tibetan said, but at a moment like this, Since I don't have any clue, it's better to just believe him.
"I don't know. I only know that this curse is condensed with countless resentments and pain, but I don't know the details." The blue-robed Tibetan quickly told what he knew. .
"Resentment and pain?" Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of the female corpses below that were covered by Jingjian Ahan. If there is anything here that meets this requirement, it is undoubtedly these female corpses.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan had a vague idea. If he guessed correctly, this curse was left by the women who died here, and he wanted to take revenge on the source of all their pain.
