Chapter 85
His knuckles trembled slightly, and the “crackling” sound around him became more and more obvious. The sudden heartbeat shook his chest, and even his thoughts turned chaotic.
Finally, with a bit of disbelief, Yu Qing slowly turned his head.
In his sight, the originally rock-solid statue had cracked one after another, and hidden black scales emerged from it. The candlelight shone brightly, soaking the air with an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Boom, boom, boom!
His heart beat harder.
Even the temple lady had no time to kill him!
Not daring to be negligent, the young man immediately jumped off the altar. He barely run two steps when, suddenly, bang!
A pitch-black tentacle poked out from behind the statue. It moved fast and bound his waist without hesitation.
“Um…”
His pupils shrank, and the cold touch wrapped around him.
Yu Qing was lifted up by the tentacle, his feet forced off the ground. Then, there was a crash—
The gold chain rang, the hem of his clothes lifted, and the gauze fluttered, covering the tentacle.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!]
The live broadcast room was filled with excitement:
[Yes! Yes! What I look forward to most is love and killing each other!]
[Let me guess, will the ninth-level BOSS be a combination of tentacles and small snakes? Oh my, oh my! Just thinking about it makes me so excited!]
[It doesn’t matter, it’s just three more pillars, our Qingqing can bear it!!!]
There was no way to use force in the air!
“Oh shit…”
The tentacle fell on his waist, wrapping around and tightening with all its strength. The corners of the young man’s eyes turned red, and tears kept pouring out.
He raised his hand with great effort, holding the golden needle high with a stern look on his face. Just as he was about to prick it, suddenly, bang bang bang!
Three more tentacles poked out from behind the altar, binding his legs and hands respectively, depriving him of all room for resistance.
…It wasn’t over?!
Yu Qing’s heart was beating so fast that it almost beaten out of his chest. Just as he prepared to say a curse word, he discovered that the tentacle originally coiled around his waist continued to move up and penetrated into his gauze skirt!
It slowly rolled across his chest, wrapped around his neck, and landed on his lips…
“!”
As if he had seen the other party’s intention, Yu Qing immediately shut his mouth.
The tears on his innocent face were still there, and his eyes were dilated due to nervousness, making him look unusually well-behaved.
Live broadcast room:
[Ah ah ah ah! Take a sip, sip, sip! So beautiful, I love it so much!]
[Ahem, I don’t know why, but I’m inexplicably expecting that little tentacle to reach into his mouth and make him cry, hehe, hehehe!]
[Ah ah ah ah! Mother! There’s a pervert upstairs!]
Several comments came down, and Yu Qing was wrapped in tentacles and lowered to the ground.
The four tentacles fiddled with his body, and after a while, they placed him back on the futon in a kneeling position.
A slightly thinner tentacle passed through the gold chain and tightly entangled his hands together, and the binding was… a little tight.
Yu Qing was forced to withdraw the golden needle, raised his eyes, and looked at the cracked statue again.
The strange sacrificial ceremony, the mysterious statues of deity was opened one after another, and the “click, click, click, click” sound struck the hearts of everyone present.
It seemed that no one had heard such a loud noise before. All around, the temple ladies frowned, their clasped hands trembling, and they didn’t know whether to open their eyes or not.
Click, click, click—
The candlelight was bright, and the unprovoked popping sound made the hall even quieter. The tense atmosphere was everywhere. Yu Qing just raised his eyes and looked up. After a while, he actually saw the eyes of the Snake Deity turn red again!
Immediately afterward, a strange sense of detachment enveloped his body, penetrating all over and swallowing him at an extremely fast speed, making his whole body breathless. For a moment, he felt so suffocated.
But… the sacrificial ceremony obviously had just begun.
He felt surrounded, and the feeling of separation in his body became more and more severe. His blood flowed back, causing his knuckles to tremble, and the nerves throughout his body became numb one after another.
Almost suffocating…
“Woo…”
He hadn’t been able to bear it for a moment, and tears soaked his eyes again, slipping out of the corners of his eyes and bursting out—
The gold chain on his body was shaking, and Yu Qing was forced to raise his head. On his arm, something was hiding and moving, and after a while, whoosh!
A tiny golden needle shot out from his fingertip and hit the tip of the tentacle. In an instant, the tentacle wrapped around his body was forced to loosen, and the feeling of separation disappeared.
The young man’s hands fell to the ground, his cheeks turned red, and he gasped desperately.
However, he didn’t give himself any chance to rest. The slender golden needle came out from his wrist again, poof!
It pierced the tentacle that had no time to retract, and the force was so strong that it almost nailed it to the ground!
The tentacle was in pain and spasming, but within a moment, a drop of blood fell on it, causing it to pause and startle slightly.
Yes, Yu Qing was bleeding.
The drop of blood dripped from his fair-white fingertips, which was a side effect of the young man’s wandering golden needle just now.
He moved the golden needle around in his body, always taking it out right after it delivered to his wrist, never reaching his fingertips.
He accidentally pricked his hand, and it hurt a little.
When his breathing finally became smoother, Yu Qing’s body was soaked in cold sweat. However, he slowly raised his head and faced the statue again. The young man smiled brightly, provocatively and openly: “My dear.”
A hoarse voice came from his throat, and he firmly pressed the tentacle pierced by the golden needle: “Look, you can’t kill me.”
‘You can’t kill me…’
‘Kill…can’t kill?’
‘Why couldn’t it be killed? The sacrifice wasn’t dead?!!’
Finally, in the corner of the hall, the temple lady, who had been looking forward to the end of the sacrifice, slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was the intact young man and—the statue of the deity that almost broken???
“Crazy, absolutely crazy!” She stood up hurriedly, as if she had encountered something big, and walked forward in three steps and two steps at a time, muttering: “No one dares to challenge the Snake Deity’s authority, no one dares to challenge the Snake Deity’s authority!”
Perhaps because of so many years of sacrifices, all the sacrifices had their souls taken away without exception. Suddenly, they met Yu Qing, whose soul couldn’t be taken away, and even provoked the statue with a golden needle. The temple lady was so frightened that she trembled all over.
She walked quickly, her legs trembling, as if looking for a life-saving straw… she hugged a pillar.
Then, the old hand pressed the hidden grid on the pillar.
Then, click, click, click—
As if some mechanism had been activated, there was an obvious sound of gears turning, squeaking and rusty.
Gradually, dust fell from the roof.
Obviously, this mechanism hadn’t been used for a long time.
Today, she restarted it for him…
[Ding ding dong dong, ding ding dong dong…]
With his Adam’s apple rolling, Yu Qing concentrated on looking around. Within a few seconds, he heard: “Little rabbit, be good, open the door, open it.”
“Hurry up and open~ I want~ to come in~”
Then, bang! bang! bang!
The sound of regular collisions of hard objects came from all directions, and Yu Qing saw a wooden man holding an axe coming from around the hall and approaching him very quickly.
The wooden man had no faces, but it looked very strong. The axes had been polished, and they obviously had been polished carefully every day. If they struck, his bones might be broken.
In the middle of the hall, the young man took a few deep breaths and barely had the strength to get up. The next second, Click!
An axe struck hard beside him, causing the ground to crack!
He needed to find the mechanisms; force wasn’t the answer—he had to find a way to control the wooden man!
Just as he was thinking about it, Click!
The axe struck again, nearly slicing off his ear.
“Little~ Rabbit~ Be good~”
It was singing!
Immediately, Yu Qing jumped up, found a gap, and hid on the altar, looking around.
He just survived a disaster, and his physical strength was almost exhausted. He subconsciously held the broken statue with one hand. As soon as he judged the source of the song, he heard a sudden click.
A stone statue of the deity fell, making a big hole in the ground.
Did the thing he was holding move?!
