#1815 - Where is God?
“Each village, send someone forward.”
In front of the temple, the old man in the red robe glanced at the treasures on the tray, then chuckled and shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than thirty middle-aged men walked out of the crowd. They took off their masks and knelt down in front of the temple.
“Good, you should know the rules. You will fight each other later, using any means necessary. Do not fear death. The gods will be watching your performance. If you please the gods, even if you accidentally lose your life, you will have a chance to be resurrected,” the old man said with a smile.
“The last three survivors can make a wish to the gods, but you should know the taboos of the gods. You cannot wish for immortality or anything like that.”
“Yes,” the crowd responded quickly.
The old man nodded, waved his hand, and a blood-red arena appeared in front of the temple, with various mortal weapons on it.
“Alright, go up and choose your weapons. You are the hope of your villages. Whether you can fulfill your villages' wishes depends on yourselves,” the old man said with a smile, his eyes full of戏谑.
Upon hearing this, the men's eyes lit up, and then they gritted their teeth and stood up one after another, climbing onto the arena to choose their weapons.
The other villagers quickly surrounded the arena. Even with their masks on, their fanatical gazes could not be hidden.
“Remember! Use any means necessary! Kill! Kill them all! Kill as many as you can!”
“Chen Ye! Choose something that can kill instantly! Don't show any mercy once you see blood! You must kill to the end! Survive to the end!”
“Three! Just be one of the last three! Whether our village can continue to live prosperously depends on you!”
“You few! If anyone shows cowardice today, don't blame me for being rude to your families! You are the hope of the village! You've enjoyed a year of good life! This is what you've been waiting for!”
For a time, the surrounding villagers roared frantically. Hearing these voices, the people on the arena also revealed murderous intent, looking like they had gone mad.
The old man smiled slightly and said, “Alright, let the competition begin. Remember, the gods are watching you!”
“Bang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the arena began to fight each other. In an instant, heads and blood surged, and severed limbs flew!
Around the arena, except for a few villagers, the remaining villagers all roared excitedly, looking like they had completely fallen into a state of狂热.
The sounds of shouting and killing were endless.
The old man sat cross-legged in front of the temple gate, in a posture of watching a play.
“Bang!”
On the arena, a strong man砍翻two men with one刀, and was about to continue attacking, when he felt a pain in his leg. He looked down and was shocked to find that the person who had fallen earlier had bitten his calf.
The next moment, these villagers turned their矛头 towards the village of the person who killed the strong man. After only two or three breaths, the two sides began to骂 each other, and under the stimulation of blood, this骂 turned into动手.
In the blink of an eye, blood filled the arena, and chaos reigned beneath it!
The old man chuckled and said, “These mortals are all the same every time, but I never get tired of watching them. It's really interesting.”
Five or six minutes later, the fighting around the arena had entered a white-hot stage. If the people had weapons, the two sides of the arena would already be rivers of blood.
At the same time, only three people remained on the arena,正好 from three villages. These three people were covered in blood, their eyes full of麻木. Beneath their feet was a hellish scene.
The old man chuckled, stood up, and waved his hand. The people who were fighting were forcibly separated.
“Alright, this part of the ceremony is over. The three of you can make wishes on behalf of your respective villages,” the old man said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the crowd showed excitement, especially the villages of these three people, who couldn't help but cheer.
Under the crowd's fiery gaze, the three people on the arena knelt down in the pool of blood.
“Great God! My wish is that everyone in our village can earn斗金 every day!” a man shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, some people beside the arena shouted excitedly. This wish was collectively decided before they set off.
“Great God! My wish is that everyone in our village can dig up some treasures every day!” another person shouted.
For a time, cheers rang out.
The old man chuckled and looked at the last man. He saw that the man's eyes were red and he looked hesitant, not speaking immediately.
“Chen Ye! What are you doing! Hurry up and say the wish!”
“Bastard! What are you doing! Don't waste the god's time! Hurry! Didn't we agree before! Say the wish we decided on!”
“Treasures! We need more treasures! This is our wish!”
Hearing this, the man on the arena clenched his fists, then咬牙 and looked up sharply at the temple.
“God above, my wish is… to resurrect my夭折 child!” Chen Ye shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the arena fell silent, but this silence only lasted for a moment. Soon, a burst of heart-wrenching cries rang out.
“Bastard! What are you saying! Great God! He's crazy! What he said doesn't count! I'm the village chief! I'll say it! Our wish is to get more treasures! To be blessed by the gods every day!”
“Chen Ye! Are you crazy! Get down here! What you said doesn't count! Listen to the village chief!”
Hearing the curses in his ears, Chen Ye clenched his fists and said咬牙, “God above, this is my wish!”
The old man raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, “This year's play is a bit interesting… How about this, I'll make the decision for the god. I can fulfill your wish, but… you need to find a scapegoat for your child.”
Hearing this, Chen Ye's eyes turned red, and he turned his head sharply to look at the village chief of his village.
Seeing this, the crowd's expressions changed slightly. Just as they were about to speak, they heard a loud noise in their ears.
“Bang!”
Hearing this sound, the crowd looked up and were horrified to find that a figure had appeared in front of the temple gate at some point, and had now kicked the gate open with one foot!
“Who! How dare you亵渎 the gods!” the old man roared.
“Damn it, what kind of bullshit god is this, hiding his head and showing his tail,故弄玄虚,” Ji Dongfeng sneered, looking up at the temple in front of him, and finally found that the temple was empty.
Not only was there no god, but he couldn't even find a stone statue.
“Where's the god? Did he run away when he saw this 逼王?” Ji Dongfeng sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the murderous aura on Ji Dongfeng's body exploded, and the entire temple instantly turned into ruins!
