Chapter 433 Altar and Sacrifice
Chapter 433 Altar and Sacrifice
Outside the Dragon Locking Tower, a few kilometers away from the Dragon Locking Tower, there is an altar.
This altar is a circular altar with a diameter of several dozen meters.
Above the altar stand three beautifully carved stone pillars.
It just looks deserted.
It is covered with vertical and horizontal cracks and overgrown with withered yellow weeds.
At this time, there was a tent on top of the altar.
There were about ten players moving around the tent.
Among them, there is a player codenamed "Jixing" who is observing the situation around him.
Jixing is an extraordinary player who has only recently acquired extraordinary abilities.
Just like the code name implies, the effect of his ability is related to luck, and he can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.
As a player who doesn't like to fight, he is very satisfied with his abilities.
After all, if you are lucky enough, the probability of survival will be greater.
Just now, he encountered a crisis and followed his feeling and came to the altar in front of him.
"Boss, you are absolutely right!"
"After we got to this altar, the monsters really stopped chasing us!"
"As expected of an extraordinary boss. It is my great fortune to meet him!"
"After we return to the real world, will there be a chance for me to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?"
……
Several players gathered around Jixing, their voices full of admiration.
They are all players who have just entered the horror game.
After entering the dungeon, I was quite panicked and felt that I might be killed soon.
After all, they already knew how dangerous the horror game was.
They thought that it would be great if they could have a player who was a better person and more orderly to lead them.
But what makes them feel very lucky is that they met Jixing, an extraordinary player.
Moreover, his abilities are quite suitable to help them avoid danger.
So, the few people who were together with them, except for a few who were not very clear-headed or were particularly unlucky.
Everyone else survived, but was slightly frightened.
The feeling of being called boss by others is really good.
Jixing enjoyed this very much. Before, he was the one who called others "big boss".
This feeling of being a key figure among the players is really good and gives him confidence.
He said in a deep voice: "This altar should be a sacred place that can restrain evil spirits."
"I have a feeling this place is very safe. As long as we stay here, there will be no problems."
After hearing his words, the other players became more relaxed: "That's great! As long as we can hold on for a few hours, the mission will be accomplished!"
"Seven hours and forty minutes left."
"I'm a little hungry, but with this little time, it's no problem even if I don't eat."
"I brought some water, but not much. There are so many of us, so we need to drink sparingly."
"Are you thirsty, Mr. Jixing? Do you want a sip?"
……
Suddenly, someone's face changed drastically, and he pointed outside the altar, his voice trembling: "It, it, they are there..."
Everyone looked in that direction.
I saw a dark green human-shaped shadow standing in the forest.
In the shadows, wailing faces appeared and disappeared from time to time. They tried to escape but were forcibly pulled back.
Next to the shadow, there is a group of scattered bones, which are pieced together to form a hideous bone snake.
The bone snake was several meters long but as thick as a bucket. It was not the slender type, but rather rather burly.
The bone snake also had some fresh corpses with flesh and clothes attached to it. These were the players it had just killed. Hadn't they already left? Why were they still here?
It was these two monsters that were chasing them all the way.
Among them, several players died tragically at their hands, and the tragic scene is still vivid in their minds.
Once you put yourself in the shoes of a victim, you will feel fear from the bottom of your heart.
"No, don't panic. We are in the altar. This is a sacred place. They dare not come in."
"That's right. As long as we stay inside and don't go out, we won't be in danger."
Although they said so, they still felt uncertain in their hearts.
After all, there was no guarantee that the altar could truly protect them.
The most powerful support for this point now is still the theory of Jixing.
They all looked at Jixing, wanting him to give them some confidence.
The lucky star has already used its power to observe where its good luck lies.
Around here, except for the altar at your feet which still retained some good luck, everywhere else was filled with dark misfortune.
In other words, the only way to survive right now is to stay here.
Jixing comforted everyone: "Don't panic, this altar is the way to survive, we just need to stay here."
Other players said: "Great!"
"Only a fool would go out and seek death! Ha! Ha!"
"With what Boss Jixing said, I feel relieved."
"But why are they still approaching this side?"
"Forehead……"
Even so.
However, the green figures and bone snakes were still approaching here.
Although it is only moving towards this side and the speed is slow, it is indeed getting closer to this side.
Gradually they realized that if they continued at this pace, they would not be able to survive the remaining hours.
Hula——quack——
A gust of black wind came from a distance.
It was a huge crow as big as an eagle.
Under its wings hung human heads.
Among them, some heads had their flesh and blood eroded and eaten away, while others were still fresh, with fear and despair visible on their faces.
The crow's eyes were scarlet, emitting a bloodthirsty red light.
It circled over the altar, flew past, turned a few times, and stood on one foot on a stone pillar of the altar.
He stared at the players below, like a diner waiting for his meal.
One of the players looked into the eyes of the crow and kept swallowing in fear.
An idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"If this is an altar, then are we the sacrifices on the altar now?"
The other players followed his line of thought and their faces turned ugly: "In this case, are we being sacrificed to these monsters?"
"Oh my god! Aren't they waiting for dinner to start? Then they'll eat us all up?"
After hearing this, Jixing also felt that this was a possibility.
He really didn't expect that people like him would be sacrificed.
If it is a sacrifice, then this is not a way to life, but a place of death.
However, my own abilities tell me that this is indeed the only way to survive!
Jixing said firmly, "Don't be afraid. Don't be scared by them. The sacrifice may start after we leave."
"If that's the case, we'll still be safe until they start eating!"
