Chapter 275 Different Destiny Life
My body was in so much pain, and my hands and feet were tied up with ropes, leaving red marks.
Jiang Yi opened his eyes, with confused memories in his mind.
"I... traveled through time?" He was confused and looked at himself. He had thin arms and legs, and was fair and clean. He was probably no more than ten years old.
"Soul traveling?" He looked around and saw that it was a cave.
Red candles were burning on the stone walls of the cave. Inside the cave were painted majestic and mysterious murals, with green faces and fangs, like evil spirits and demons, staring at him.
Beneath him was an ancient stone altar, engraved with incomprehensible but glowing red runes.
There were white bones scattered around, some of which looked like they belonged to animals and some to humans.
Jiang Yi's face turned pale and he struggled subconsciously, but his hands and feet were tied with ropes and he could only wriggle like a caterpillar.
"I... am a sacrifice!"
"There is no cheat code in the novel, and it is a dead end!"
"Help! System, grandpa!"
He shouted wildly in his heart.
A strange prayer sound came from behind, and men and women in coarse linen clothes and with sallow faces knelt on the ground numbly and worshiped the mural.
"May the gods have mercy..."
"This is the last child in our village. Please enjoy the blood feast, gods, and continue to protect us!"
If it weren't for the pressure that appeared, making it difficult for Jiang Yi to breathe and speak.
He would definitely curse loudly, saying that children are the hope of mankind, and you just sent me away like that.
This thing looks like an evil god. What protection do you think it can bring? I'm afraid it will swallow you up sooner or later.
Huge blood-red eyes lit up from the mural like big lanterns, and a bloody mouth full of fangs and a thick tongue with mucus flowing stuck out of its head.
Evil spirits were surging, and all the candle flames turned green.
The wind howled violently and a huge suction force appeared. Jiang Yi looked at himself in astonishment as he was left there. All the humans who wanted to sacrifice him fell into the monster's mouth.
Crack! The sound of bones breaking was extremely frequent, and blood gushed out from the corners of the monster's mouth.
"No way?" Jiang Yi looked at this scene, his heart chilled, his stomach churning, and he wanted to vomit.
This development was so unexpected.
These people...died before him.
"As expected, children's meat is the most tender and delicious!" The monster swallowed the flesh and blood in his mouth and looked at Jiang Yi.
"You are the last child they had ten years ago! The thoughts of mortals are no secrets to me!"
"A group of lowly humans want to sacrifice everyone, to end the bad luck and stop providing me with the flesh and blood of children to restore my strength!"
"Then eat them!"
"I have accumulated enough strength, but I want to admire your final struggle!"
"The area within a hundred miles outside this mountain village is already under the radiation of my power."
The monster slowly uttered words that made Jiang Yi despair.
"Fear, despair, and hatred are the best seasonings!"
"This is my last little snack. Don't let me down! I will come back to eat you after a day and night!" The monster gave a brief yet long death announcement with anticipation, and slowly retreated onto the mural.
Suddenly there was a glimmer of hope, and Jiang Yi crawled outwards like crazy.
When he reached the edge of the altar, a blood-red light rose up and stopped him.
There was a loud bang outside, and huge rocks blocked the exit of the cave, cutting off the retreat.
Lying on the ground helplessly.
"Come to think of it, how did you travel through time? If you get eaten next, can you still travel through time?"
My stomach growled, expressing a strong sense of hunger.
He lay motionless, ready to die.
……
Outside of "Meng Huanzhen", True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng looked at the little Jiang Yi and asked, "Why are you so gutless and don't have the slightest desire to resist?"
"You didn't even notice the thing that broke the situation. Are you so stupid?"
"Forget it! Don't be too demanding!"
"He lost his experience and power in Teyvat and returned to his original state. His previous world probably didn't have these evil monsters. It's normal that he doesn't have the will to fight to the death when he encounters a crisis!"
"Shen He, what do you think?" she asked her disciple.
"Kill it!" Shen He was a man of few words, exuding a murderous aura towards the monster.
"I'm asking about you, my future junior brother!" said Master Liuyun Jiefeng.
"Wait to die!" Shen He said concisely.
At this moment, Jiang Yi and she were secretly looking out of the cave and saw that the person who said he wanted to be a demon-slaying Yaksha in exchange for the opportunity to practice immortal magic was not the same person at all.
His will and character both seemed extremely mediocre.
No special physique, no special talent, no special soul.
"Take another look!" said Master Liuyun Jiefeng.
……
Jiang Yi lay on the ground, turned over, and suddenly felt something was wrong. There was something hanging around his neck.
He took a look in the light of the fire and saw a strange, grey pendant the size of a little finger hanging on a thin rope woven from grass.
The pendant is covered with patterns and the tip is like a blade that will pierce the skin.
"What is that?" He looked at the pendant, pressed it down with his shoulder, and pulled it to break the rope.
The desire to survive made him think.
Then he moved his body, grasped the sharp-pointed pendant with his fingers, and cut the vines that bound his hands bit by bit.
It took me two hours to cut it off until my fingers felt cramped.
Jiang Yi looked at the mural. The monster's eyes were closed, as if it was sleeping.
"I feel like... it's a lie! The other party doesn't have the strength to break free of the so-called seal."
"I might be the last snack. He will be hungry in the future, so I can't bear to eat it!"
He guessed that by carefully moving his feet and freeing his hands, he could cut the vine more easily and cut it off in ten minutes.
"This thing?" He recalled the childhood memories in his mind.
A man with a blurred face was lying on a hospital bed, and this object was put on him as a sacrifice.
"Remember, this is the Demon-Subduing Pestle! It was left by the immortals who once sealed the evil spirits. It can activate the power of the Demon-Subduing Seal on the cliff!"
"There is not much immortal power left in it, but it still has some immortal power. This divine object is self-hidden. Until you use the blood between your fingers to unlock the power above, the evil spirits will not be able to sense it."
"We are the last exorcists in this village. If you are eaten, this thing will explode inside the monster's body, rip it open, leak its power, and delay its escape."
"If the other party waits for the child to cry all night like before, then you find a chance to kill it! Do whatever you can!"
"Its weakness lies in the third eye between its eyebrows! Without this eye, it will lose its fierce power!"
"Children are weak, but they are the most despised!"
"I didn't teach you any martial arts, so you have to use your desire to survive and your courage to defeat him! Emotions affect elements, and will affects divine power!"
After the other party finished speaking, he lost his voice.
"Immortals? Evil spirits? Devil-subduing pestle? Elements?" Jiang Yi felt that the amount of information was huge. "A world of gods and demons? But what are elements?"
"Also... you're asking a child who knows nothing to kill evil spirits. That's a fantasy!"
Jiang Yi looked at the murals in the cave and wondered whether he should rush up and launch a sneak attack now, but what about the rune barrier of the altar?
"Hmm? Although you exuded fear, why didn't you cry to make me happy?" The monster asked, opening its blood-red eyes.
The vines under his feet fell to the ground. Jiang Yi, who had just stood up, held the pendant in his hand and suddenly looked into the monster's eyes.
"Oops!"
