Chapter 88 Ancestral Sacrifice
Chapter 88 Ancestral Sacrifice
Now their tribe is on the same boat as Su Yang and the others.
If Su Yang and the others choose to leave, or if they die, then the fate of their tribe will be absolutely tragic.
Even if you are the leader of a tribe, you should never make enemies with radicals for the sake of your tribe.
Therefore, Allen can only place his hopes on the lives of these outsiders who live in Suyang.
"Since the High Priest knows we are outsiders, you must be quite familiar with prophecy, right?"
Zhang Changgong sneered as he looked at Wei Lun.
"good."
Velen nodded and continued, "I do know about the prophecy."
"However, what evidence do you have that you have developed an antidote?"
Hearing Wei Lun's slightly flippant words, Zhang Chang Gong couldn't help but frown slightly.
"How do you intend to prove it?"
Zhang Changgong spoke in a deep voice.
"It's very simple."
Velen laughed, "It just so happens that there is a group of infected herbivorous dinosaurs not far from our tribe. You can prove it to me for yourselves."
"Proof isn't the problem, but High Priest, what benefits do you have to offer us?"
Su Yang smiled lightly.
"According to Allen, you've come here in search of an ally?"
Velen glanced in the direction of Allen, then smiled.
"If you can prove that, becoming your ally wouldn't be difficult at all?"
Upon hearing Wei Lun's words, Zhang Changgong and the others were momentarily confused.
It's strange, really strange.
The main problem is that the other party's attitude is really hard to fathom.
It was as if they knew they were coming.
"That's not difficult."
Su Yang smiled slightly, while looking at High Priest Velen, "However, the conditions you just mentioned are somewhat insufficient."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Lun looked at Su Yang with some surprise.
Clearly, they hadn't expected the other party to be so greedy.
"So what do you want?"
"I've heard there's a historical site at the headquarters of the Healing Sect?"
Su Yang raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly.
Velen immediately looked at Allen, who was standing in the crowd, and his expression was somewhat displeased.
Clearly, he hadn't expected that Allen would even tell him something like this.
When High Priest Velen stared at him with a somewhat sinister gaze, Alan took a small step back.
"Indeed, there is a ruin within my tribe. That ruin was left behind by our ancestors."
After a while, Wei Lun nodded with a light laugh.
Now that the other party knows about the ruins, there's no need for him to hide it anymore.
Moreover, the fact that the other party brought it up first clearly indicates their interest in the relics.
If that's the case, then this relic is an extremely good bargaining chip.
"We can prove we have the antidote, but High Priest, shouldn't you also offer something suitable?"
"What do you want? The ruins? Or perhaps a fight against Diesel?"
"Hey, is this all the radical high priest is made of?"
Seeing that Su Yang and Zhang Changgong were still negotiating with Wei Lun, Han Bei couldn't help but move closer to Al and ask in a low voice.
"Yes, the High Priest's body is only this small because of the long-term ingestion of snake gall and medicinal herbs, which caused the medicinal properties to clash."
Al nodded and gave a brief explanation.
Han Bei nodded, "So that's how it is."
He thought it was just stunted growth.
Looking around at his surroundings, Han Bei's gaze fell outside.
A large sacrificial site in the distance immediately caught Han Bei's attention.
What Han Bei found most interesting were the several human-shaped stone sculptures standing there.
There is a stone sculpture in each of the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west). At the octagonal position, there are four round stones.
Obviously, there must be some meaning behind this arrangement.
"Al, what's that altar over there?"
Han Bei nudged Al's arm, then quietly pointed to the stone sculptures on the altar in the distance and asked.
"That's the ancestral altar."
Al glanced at it and said, "The ancestral sacrifice is only held once a year, and all the dinosaur people will be there. However, not everyone can participate in the ceremony."
"Ancestor sacrifice?"
When Han Bei heard these two words, the first thing that came to mind was the scene of ancient emperors proclaiming to the heavens and offering sacrifices to pray for a bountiful harvest in the coming year.
"Judging by the time, the ancestral worship ceremony seems to be in the next couple of days?"
Al thought for a moment, then said.
Upon hearing this, Han Bei immediately became interested.
I'm curious to know what exactly this ancestral sacrifice that Al mentioned is.
"It's a pleasure working with you."
On the other side, after negotiating with High Priest Velen, Su Yang smiled and looked at him.
"It's been a pleasure working with you."
Wei Lun also revealed a meaningful smile.
"Someone, take the messenger away to rest."
"please."
Asavin, who was waiting outside, gestured to the dinosaur man beside him to lead Su Yang and his group to rest.
"That's it?"
Following behind the dinosaur-man, Han Bei couldn't help but say.
"How is that possible?"
Su Yang glanced at Han Bei, "Things are going smoothly, but I have a feeling something's going to happen later."
"Regardless, we should try our best to win them over first."
Zhang Changgong said in a deep voice.
The easiest way is to win over the other side without resorting to force, whenever possible.
Han Bei nodded, then couldn't help but glance back.
Above them in the stone chamber, High Priest Velen and Asawin were silently watching them.
"High Priest, are we really going to let them get their hands on the relics?"
Asavin asked, somewhat puzzled.
Even if they don't currently have the ability to explore that ruin, surely they shouldn't just hand over the ruins left by their ancestors to outsiders?
"What do you know?"
Velen said calmly, "Our ancestors left a prophecy that no outsider could enter this ruin smoothly."
"Otherwise, why would I have stood by and watched for over a hundred years?"
"You intend to use them to kill the ruins guard?"
Upon hearing this, Asavin suddenly realized what was going on.
So that's what the high priest was planning.
"good."
Velen nodded slightly. "If Allen hadn't still been useful, that one revelation of ancestral precepts alone would have been enough to put him on the sacrificial altar."
Upon hearing this, Asawin remained silent.
"By the way, where is that thing you shot down from the sky today?"
Wei Lun couldn't help but tilt his head.
Upon hearing this, Asavin took out the drone that had already been crashed.
After fiddling with the drone for a while, Velen tossed it to Asavin.
"This thing must be what those outsiders used for reconnaissance."
As he spoke, Velen's gaze couldn't help but fall on the ancestral altar in the distance.
"The ancestral worship ceremony is about to begin."
Asavin's gaze also fell on the altar used for ancestral worship in the distance.
"Let them know when the time comes, so that those outsiders can also participate in the ancestral worship ceremony."
