Chapter 1096: Chapter 521: Living Sacrifice

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Mud splattered chaotically, pouring down like rain upon everyone.

It was dirty!

But nobody seemed to care about such trivial matters anymore.

The atmosphere at the scene was very oppressive.

The group watched as, after the giant hand vanished, Qin Weida turned into a puddle of rotten flesh. A strong sense of despair choked them, as if a noose was tightening rapidly around their necks.

"We’re doomed! We’re doomed!"

Someone murmured, pale-faced.

"This is divine pollution, without a Dragon Level, we’re definitely not getting through!"

"Where’s Captain Pan? Why is he gone just when we need him?"

"He’s probably dead, right?"

The examiners muttered among themselves, feeling the challenge was too tough, but some hadn’t given up.

"Live sacrifices?"

Xie Yangchun stroked his chin, racking his brains for a solution: "If the Goddess statue is pointing this way, then these mud creatures must be useful, but how do we use them?"

"Maybe the mud creatures are too small? Or there aren’t enough of them? Should we get bigger ones?"

The big aunt analyzed: "Like the ancient sacrifices to the heavens that required three animals, insufficient offerings would definitely not work!"

"It’s possible!"

Zhang Hao rushed off towards the mud pit, five hundred meters away: "Anyway, let’s catch some more and try!"

With too little information to analyze, they could only fill the gap with human lives.

Lin Baici ran while contemplating.

What did the Eater God mean by telling us to bring our own molded mud creatures? It couldn’t possibly be to pair up the two types of mud creatures, could it?

Or maybe, through some method, could we make our own molded mud creatures come to life?

Right,

wouldn’t that then be a live sacrifice?

The group hurried back to the edge of the mud pit where the Little Clay Men, previously frolicking inside, immediately burrowed into the mud like eels, leaving behind small holes.

"You guys, go down and catch mud creatures!"

Deng Mingyu casually picked out people with a sweep of his hand.

"Little Linzi, what do you think?"

Xia Hongyao looked to Lin Baici, waiting for a directive.

"Go down and catch mud creatures!"

Lin Baici touched his stomach; he felt hungry, but didn’t know what this hunger signified.

"God Lin."

Xie Yangchun grabbed Lin Baici: "Can we wait a bit?"

The implications were clear: let the cannon fodder go first—better them than us.

"I’m worried there might be a time limit, or that the offerings to the Goddess statue must be prepared personally!"

Lin Baici knew Xie Yangchun meant well, and he wasn’t acting recklessly. Once in the mud flat, if the Eater God gave a reminder, he would come out immediately.

"Brother Lin’s reasoning is very likely!"

Long Miaomiao nodded.

Lin Baici didn’t even bother rolling up his pant legs; he just went down directly.

Xia Hongyao, Gu Qingqiu, and Hua Yue Yu followed immediately.

"Let’s go!"

Long Miaomiao nudged Fang Mingyuan with her elbow.

"Do you think there might be monsters in there?"

Fang Mingyuan was a bit panicked; he had been bitten on the thigh by a water snake while fishing in his childhood and it left him with a psychological shadow.

"Isn’t that a given?"

Long Miaomiao rolled her eyes: "Anyway, staying close to Brother Lin is safe!"

Splash!

Long Miaomiao jumped in and, due to her weight and short legs, sank into the black mud up to her thighs, making each step a struggle.

"Maybe you should get out, and I’ll catch them for you?"

Fang Mingyuan suggested.

"I can manage!"

Long Miaomiao, bent over, began to search for Little Clay Men.

Big aunt and An Yi Xian saw this and joined in.

"Go down and catch mud creatures!"

Zhang Hao chuckled: "Lin Baici is still too young; he’s seen too little, hence his disdain for using cannon fodder!"

"Now I understand why Xia Hong trusts him!"

Xie Yangchun sighed.

Purifying divine pollution within God’s Ruins could lead to life-threatening dangers at any moment, and Lin Baici had a baseline for decent behavior. Having such a person as a teammate meant there was no fear of being betrayed in moments of crisis.

With elites like Lin Baici and Xie Yangchun in the mud pit, naturally, other examiners couldn’t just stay on the shore; they all joined in.

In the blink of an eye, only Deng Mingyu was left, which made him feel awkward.

"Are you fucking insane?"

Deng Mingyu thought Lin Baici was being unreasonable.

In the God Hunter Circle, the rule of the survival of the fittest was endorsed. Everyone except oneself was prey, and their bodies were merely stepping stones to success. This was normal.

"Little Lin, I caught one!"

Xia Hong, grasping a mud creature in her right hand, happily shook it at Lin Baici.

High Ponytail might have been a D in intelligence, not good at thinking, but she excelled in any practical tasks, doing them both quickly and well.

"Well done!"

Lin Baici gave a thumbs up.

"Can we only catch them alive?"

Xia Hong examined the mud creature: "If we could use a knife, it would make catching them faster!"

"The monster wants live sacrifices, of course, we need to catch the living ones!"

The big aunt explained.

"Can we kill one to see what these mud creatures are made of?"

Gu Qingqiu suggested. She stood in the mud pit, observing the mud creatures being chased chaotically by the examiners without taking action herself.

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong grasped the mud creature’s head with her left hand and first twisted, then yanked hard.

"Wait..."

Gu Qingqiu thought someone expendable should do it; while it was very likely nothing would happen, there was still a small chance.

But High Ponytail had already taken action.

Suddenly, a rash move.

Of course, Gu Qingqiu understood that Xia Hong wasn’t a saint, but she wasn’t selfish either; she would definitely refuse to use cannon fodder.

The people nearby, upon hearing Gu Qingqiu’s remark, all watched Xia Hong. They thought it was just a mud-stained person, but who would have guessed that when High Ponytail twisted off the mud creature’s head, it actually made a crisp snap, like that of a human spine being broken.
