Chapter 698: Demon Blood Sacrifice
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the middle of that valley stood a startling altar, with bodies piled up like mountains, filling the entire valley with the stench of blood and a nauseating odor of decay carried by the mountain breeze.
On the ground around the altar, there were bloodstains painted with some kind of sinister and evil array, with the center of the array being the altar piled with thousands of Wood Elf corpses.
This extremely shocking scene left all the elves stunned.
“This is the evil blood sacrifice array of the demon clan, using a large number of living beings as sacrifices to summon some powerful evil beasts,” Lainekel said in a deep voice, waking everyone up.
The elven officer clenched his fists, his determined face filled with anger. “Damn it, these demons dare to treat our people like sacrificial offerings!?”
“This is a field in which demons excel. In the God Wars tens of thousands of years ago, they used the corpses generated on the battlefield to continuously sacrifice and summon evil beasts, causing great trouble to the Alliance forces.” Lainekel continued saying, “But fortunately, such sacrifices require a lot of preparation time. Most of the time, they are discovered and cleared by the Alliance forces in advance. Judging from the situation here, the demons probably prepared for a long time to complete the sacrifice ritual recently, so the bodies have not completely decomposed yet.”
The elven officer looked at Lainekel in surprise. How did this armored man know so much about the God Wars tens of thousands of years ago, and even about the demons?
It was as if he himself belonged to that era, which had been forgotten by most races.
Ji Chen said in a deep voice, “Patheia, take the Sea Crystal Wyrm to nearby and search for any remaining demons or traces of evil beasts.”
Patheia nodded and spread her wings, soaring into the air with the Sea Crystal Wyrm to patrol.
Looking at the pile of corpses built by thousands of Wood Elves in front of him, Ji Chen said with a solemn tone, “Who do you think is most likely to have orchestrated this kind of sacrifice?”
Lainekel pondered for a moment and said, “Any of the Demon Lords could do such a sacrifice ritual, but the Undead Lord is the most proficient in blood sacrifices and summonings. This is also one of their main channels for producing high-level forces. Judging from the scale and the pattern of the sacrifice array, it is very likely the work of the Undead Lord.”
Ji Chen pursed his lips. Before the battle had even begun, he was indirectly facing off against three Demon Lords. Each Demon Lord was a powerhouse among demons, with at least epic-level strength.
Silently, even before players arrived in this world, demons had already prepared through various channels to invade again. The Dreadlord had contaminated a semi-closed mystics realm, captured tens of thousands of corrupted creatures, and who knew how many other realms had been contaminated besides that semi-closed one.
The Undead Lord invaded this place, slaughtering all the Wood Elves living here as sacrificial offerings.
The Greed Lord had already begun to occupy the Southern Continent. Perhaps the Southern Continent had already become a dead land under the full-scale invasion of demons.
In addition, there are also the Void Lord and the Decay Lord. Ji Chen didn’t believe that they were idle; they must be plotting and implementing their schemes in some invisible place.
And on the side of the Orderly faction, they were still on their way to a meeting. Just thinking about it made it feel like this world was about to end.
Ji Chen shook his head, pushing these stray thoughts out of his mind.
Patheia slowly descended from the sky, her face showing some concern. “My lord, we found a surviving Wood Elf outside.”
Ji Chen raised an eyebrow. “Bring them here immediately.”
A Sea Crystal Wyrm quickly descended, and a green-haired Wood Elf girl climbed down from its back. She was dressed in ragged clothes, emaciated, as if she hadn’t eaten properly for a while.
There was fear and confusion lingering in her young, inexperienced eyes as she looked at the mountain of corpses of her kin, her face full of sorrow.
Ji Chen looked at those bewildered green eyes and spoke softly.
“What’s your name?”
The Wood Elf girl timidly replied, “Cindia, my name is Cindia. Human brother, are you here to rescue us?”
Ji Chen was about to nod, but when he caught sight of the mountain of corpses, he found it hard to speak. It seemed like there was no rescue in this situation. “Yes… Can you tell me what happened here?”
Cindia nodded gently, wiping away the tears from her eyes, and began to recount the nightmare-like experiences she had encountered.
“That day, I was picking fruits in the forest when suddenly I heard strange noises in the sky… The sky suddenly tore open, and those winged monsters flew in…
I wanted to run back to the village to warn everyone, but those monsters were flying around in the sky, and I was too scared. I hid in the forest and accidentally fell asleep…
When I woke up later and returned, everyone was gone, the village was burned down, and I could only hide in the cave I found before, relying on the mushrooms and spring water inside the cave to survive…”
Ji Chen nodded. “Have those demons left?”
Cindia shook her head. “I’m not sure, but I haven’t seen them appear again this month, and the crack in the sky has disappeared.”
It seemed that after the demons completed the blood sacrifice with the Wood Elves and summoned the evil creatures, they left.
Ji Chen said, “Since such an incident has occurred, let’s continue searching around here to see if there are any surviving Wood Elves. Then I will take you to your other kin.”
