#35 - I'd rather save the dogs than them! - You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent?

Under the scarlet night.

Countless footsteps suddenly echoed on the silent street.

A long procession emerged from the city, heading towards the city gate in an orderly fashion.

This procession was massive, with at least a thousand individuals, all clad in identical red robes and wide-brimmed red hats, completely obscuring their faces, almost blending into the surrounding crimson night.

As they walked, they chanted obscure sacrificial words.

Due to the distance, Zhao Zheng couldn't clearly discern what they were chanting, only vaguely hearing terms like "Great Moon God," "Scarlet Lord," "Flesh Mother Tree," and "Bearing Myriad."

In the middle of the procession, there were three large iron cages mounted on wooden carts, being pushed by the grotesque beings towards the city gate.

And within the iron cages, humans were imprisoned!

Each iron cage held four people, twelve in total.

They were all new Transcendent adventurers who had come to the Spirit Realm.

However, they were now all slumped in the iron cages, motionless, it was unknown whether they were unconscious or already dead.

At this moment.

Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang were observing everything through a crack in the door.

Seeing the Transcendent individuals in the iron cages, Zhao Zheng was stunned.

Because one of the iron cages held Jiang Hebin, Chen Kai, and others.

"Haitang, they are your classmates!" Zhao Zheng whispered.

These unlucky fellows must have been the ones who went to the Earl's mansion for lodging.

Song Haitang's mental attribute was only twenty points less than Zhao Zheng's, so she naturally saw her classmates in the iron cage as well.

The girl slightly furrowed her delicate brows.

She didn't really care about these classmates, but no matter what, they were still classmates, and if she could help, she definitely wouldn't stand by and watch them die.

Of course, that was on the premise that it didn't affect her and Zhao Zheng's safety.

Song Haitang was very clever and immediately understood Zhao Zheng's idea.

"You mean..." The girl's eyes lit up: "We disguise ourselves as them and sneak in to take a look?"

"Yes!"

This suggestion.

Was approved by Song Haitang.

Mixing in with the grotesque beings might allow them to gather some information.

Thus.

The two tiptoed downstairs, came to the bar on the first floor of the tavern, and sure enough, they saw three sets of red robes and hoods hanging in the storage room behind it.

It should be the tavern owner and her two helpers'.

Zhao Zheng carefully distinguished them, and then handed the smallest set to Song Haitang, and wore the medium-sized one himself.

Even though the medium-sized one felt a little tight on him, he still didn't want to wear the large one.

Because, among the three earlier, the largest was that wretched man...

The smallest size was naturally the owner's.

Even the smallest size, the owner's figure was much fatter than Song Haitang!

This robe looked particularly loose on Song Haitang...

The two did not take off their clothes, but directly put the red robes on the outside, and then put on their hats, pressing the brims very low to cover their faces, and pushed open the tavern door.

Outside the door, it was exactly when the team had just passed by.

Many grotesque beings heard the movement and looked at them, but seeing that they were wearing the same clothes, they didn't care and continued to pray.

Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the two joined the team, learning the movements of other grotesque beings, lowering their heads, clasping their hands, walking and chanting, looking pious...

Although the two didn't act very well, the surrounding grotesque beings were very pious and didn't bother to pay attention to them at all.

...

A moment later.

The team finally arrived near the city gate.

At the city gate, there was a large open space.

Originally, Zhao Zheng thought that the town's urban planning had defects, but now he knew that this place was used by the grotesque beings in the city for sacrifices.

All the grotesque beings formed a semicircle at the city gate.

Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang were mixed in with the grotesque beings, this distance allowed them to clearly see the thick fog outside the city gate.

At this moment, there were many figures shaking in the thick fog, and at the same time, there were rapid low roars.

It seemed that the monsters outside knew what was going to happen next, and they were already a little impatient.

Even though they were so eager, they did not dare to step out of the thick fog and enter the city.

Seeing this scene.

Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang both breathed a sigh of relief.

They had previously guessed that the monsters in the thick fog could not enter the city.

But that was just a guess, it had not been confirmed, and it was always a little inappropriate.

Now that they could finally confirm this point, the two could be considered relieved.

The corners of Zhao Zheng's mouth even curled into a confident smile.

As long as the monsters outside can't get in, then he is an invincible existence here!

Next, he can demolish this city...

...

The sacrifice begins!

Three iron cages were pushed out by the strong grotesque beings and lined up in a row at the city gate.

Afterwards, grotesque beings came with buckets and poured water on the newcomers in the cages.

No!

What was poured out was not water, but red blood, exuding a strong stench.

Smelling this smell, Song Haitang felt a little nauseous, but the monsters in the thick fog outside seemed even more crazy.

Many monsters have already begun to probe.

For a while, disgusting tentacles stretched out from the thick fog, and for a while, sharp claws swept across the void...

However, that was all.

Those monsters were obviously restricted in some way, they just couldn't get in.

At this time.

Seemingly stimulated, the people in the cages woke up one after another.

They were not dead, just unconscious.

Finding themselves trapped in a cage, with unknown liquid exuding a stench on their bodies, several guys with poor psychological qualities collapsed on the spot, shouting loudly, either crying for mercy or struggling desperately.

The grotesque beings were accustomed to this.

Every year, the sacrifices are like this after waking up!

Since these sacrifices have already woken up, then they can be sacrificed.

The grotesque beings then began to push the iron cages and send them into the thick fog one by one.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng suddenly thought of a cruel word in his heart:

Live sacrifice!!

"Zhao Zheng, are we going to make a move?"

Song Haitang asked in a low voice.

It seems that there is still kindness in the girl's heart, and she can't bear to witness these people being fed to monsters as sacrifices, even if the first cage sent to feed the monsters is not her classmates.

Zhao Zheng was about to nod when he suddenly heard a young man in the cage about to be pushed to the edge of the thick fog cursing loudly.

Although this young man was a yellow race, he was relatively short, and the words he said were also chirping bird language, obviously not a Xia country person.

Zhao Zheng couldn't understand what the young man was scolding.

However, he still understood some individual words.

For example, that sentence "Baga Yarou"!

As soon as he heard this familiar bird language, Zhao Zheng's face sank.

The idea of preparing to take action to rescue was gone in an instant.

Even if he saves a dog, he can't save these things!

Even if this is a parallel world, it won't work!!

"Don't worry!"

Zhao Zheng stopped Song Haitang who was about to take action, and said, "Let's take a look first."

A look of doubt appeared on Song Haitang's pretty face.

She could see that Zhao Zheng was clearly preparing to agree to take action just now, why did he suddenly change his mind?

Out of trust in Zhao Zheng, she didn't ask any more questions...
