Chapter 466: Large-scale blood sacrifice, unscrupulous
"Then let's tear it down!" The fat man rubbed his hands, eager to try.
Ye Bai glared at him and asked, "Who told you that a tomb must have all the burial objects?"
"Uh..." The fat man scratched his head.
"Let's take a look first." Yang Mi suggested.
She and the fat man began to look at the wooden box.
There was no chain on the outside of the wooden box, so it was easily opened.
"There are actually a lot of jewels in here!" said the fat man.
"Could it be a burial object?" Xinxin guessed.
Yang Mi also came forward and took a closer look.
"Hey, there are actually a few lines of words written here."
Yang Mi looked at the things in the wooden box, then opened the parchment and took a look.
The more she looked, the deeper her frown became, and finally she let out a long sigh.
"what happened?"
Seeing Yang Mi like this, the fat man hurried over.
Yang Mi handed the parchment to the fat man and said, "This records an ancient sacrificial ritual called 'blood sacrifice'!"
"Blood sacrifice? What is that?"
Yang Mi said bitterly, "This is a very cruel sacrificial ritual. Through the blood of a virgin, the Gate of Death is summoned, and the body of the deceased is led into the Gate of Death, thus gaining a new life!"
Ye Bai pondered and asked, "How much blood is needed for this kind of sacrifice?"
"According to rumors, the blood sacrifice requires the blood of at least five million people every year!"
"That would mean killing five million innocent people!" the fat man exclaimed.
Yang Mi nodded: "That's right. A large part of the despair in this world comes from this."
The fat man clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Damn it, this is absolutely unscrupulous! We have to stop him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked by Ye Bai.
"Nonsense!" Ye Bai cursed.
This fat guy is so stupid that he is cute.
Yang Mi sighed and looked at the fat man: "We can't stop it at all. Even if we destroy that dried-up body, I'm afraid there will still be more mummies here."
She looked at Ye Bai and continued, "We don't know if these mummies will listen to us. If they want to hold us accountable, we're all doomed!"
"What should we do now? Are we just going to watch these people starve to death?" the fat man said indignantly.
Yang Mi said, "I think we should leave here first. After all, there's no point in staying here."
She pointed at the stone platform and said, "There might be an exit there. Maybe we can still leave this tomb!"
After thinking for a while, Ye Bai said, "I agree with your opinion, but we can't just sit there and wait for death."
"What should we do then?" asked the fat man.
Ye Bai looked at the stone tablet and said, "I think this stone tablet may contain a way to leave here."
Fatty and Xinxin looked confused. They didn't understand the purpose of this stone tablet.
Ye Bai was too lazy to talk nonsense and just reached out and touched it.
"Ye Bai, don't touch it!" Yang Mi reminded.
However, when his hand touched the stone slab, an inexplicable power instantly surged into his body.
Ye Bai's mind was shocked, and he immediately sat down cross-legged to practice qigong and regulate his breathing.
At the same time, a green light appeared on the stone slab, and then a series of talismans quickly emerged.
A green dragon was swimming across the stone slabs.
"It's...it's a dragon..." said the fat man in surprise.
The green dragon moved slowly around the stone slab, emitting a majestic and vast pressure.
Yang Mi and Xinxin had already stepped back a little.
Ye Bai sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, trying to comprehend the mystery contained in the stone slab.
After about half an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This stone slab is engraved with a strange inscription that can communicate with the power in the dark void and create an illusion for people.
This feeling will cause the warrior's soul to leave the body and enter a mysterious realm.
"This is an illusion!" Ye Bai murmured.
He stood up and said to the three people, "Follow me."
He led the way towards the stone cave, and after walking for about ten minutes, they arrived in front of a stone door.
This is a heavy stone door, and it looks like it will take a lot of effort to push it open.
Ye Bai poured his spiritual power into his arm and pushed hard!
click-
With a crisp sound, the stone door burst open.
"There should be a way out behind this stone door. Everyone, hurry up and follow it."
After saying that, Ye Bai took the lead and rushed to the back of the stone gate.
It was pitch black behind the stone gate, without any lights.
Ye Bai gathered his spiritual power into his eyes, and his field of vision suddenly widened several times, allowing him to see what was happening ten meters ahead.
The scene in front of him made Ye Bai feel a chill in his heart. He stopped and didn't dare to take another step forward.
"Mr. Ye, why don't you move forward?"
The fat man walked forward and found that the other side of the stone gate was a cliff with no bottom in sight.
The fat man was so scared that he almost fell to the ground, fortunately Yang Mi pulled him back in time.
The fat man swallowed his saliva, looked at the cliff in front of him and said, "This cliff is bottomless. How are we going to get down?"
Yang Mi and Xinxin also looked at Ye Bai with concern.
"You guys wait here, I'll jump down and take a look first." Ye Bai said.
"Mr. Ye, this is dangerous! You must be careful!" Xinxin warned.
Yang Mi also said, "Don't jump in too hastily. Perhaps there's a trap we can follow. We can explore the situation first."
Ye Bai thought about it and agreed, then he climbed up the wall and came to the edge of the wall.
"careful!"
Just as Ye Bai was about to jump down, Yang Mi suddenly shouted.
He was stunned for a moment, then he saw a protruding stone next to the stone wall, and with a sudden change of mind, he grabbed it in his hand.
"Bang bang bang!"
With the help of this stone, Ye Bai quickly landed on the ground.
Yang Mi, Fatty and Xinxin all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Bai walked forward, knocked on the stone wall and said, "Hey! Fatty, I'm going down."
"okay!"
The fat man quickly took out an engineering shovel to dig a hole, and then tied a rope around his waist.
"Ye Bai, you go down first, I'll cover you!"
"Let's go down together!" Yang Mi insisted.
"Okay then, I'll go down and see if there's any mechanism."
Ye Bai nodded, took the rope from the fat man, and slid down along the rope.
When he landed on the stone steps, he found that there was no mechanism here, not even a single person.
The layout here is the same as outside. Apart from this stone bed and stone table, there are no other objects.
Ye Bai glanced around and said, "Come down!"
Yang Mi and the fat man supported each other and limped down from above.
"Fatty, take your engineer shovel and dig down along this stone staircase. I'll find the exit."
Ye Bai ordered.
The fat man responded quickly, picked up the hoe and dug down along the stone steps.
Ye Bai returned along the same route and soon saw the stone staircase dug out by the fat man.
He stepped on it to try it out, and after making sure it was okay, he walked down the stone stairs.
