Chapter 471: There is something…
The method these people use on living sacrifices is that first they would wake them up and feed them some meat for a couple of days after the sacrifice gets in a better shape, they would skin him alive and place the skin of the sacrifice at the feet of the statue, after which it would be given to whoever would be the strongest member among all of them.
A couple of wounds would then be made on the body of the sacrifice and he would slowly bleed to death, after which they would proceed with the normal method of paying tribute to their God.
The same procedures are done two to three times each week, so the hunting parties go out in turns and search for demons, beasts and human sacrifices.
After Jayden was buried inside the ground, they all returned to their normal works, everything went on like usual even the death of one of the hunters didn’t affect them too much.
Even though so many things have happened Jayden wasn’t aware of anything he couldn’t sense any of the changes happening around him.
A few more days passed in silence, in Jayden’s current state his breathing was extremely slow to the point that whoever checked his body thought that he had died, even his pulse was very weak, Anna tried calling him several times but Jayden couldn’t even hear her voice.
Suddenly Jayden’s head was again filled with a piercing pain, as his body trembled slightly, and he finally woke up with a loud gasp, both of his eyes shot open.
He was breathing heavily, and what greeted him was complete darkness, the air inside the coffin was scarce at first he couldn’t understand anything and looked around confusedly with half opened eyes the pain in his head was yet to leave.
” Ugh, Where am I? Just what’s going on? ” He mumbled rubbing his head.
” You are finally awake, what happened to you? Are you alright now? And what happened to your pet? ” Anna soon rained down many questions one after another.
” I don’t know what that golden seed did to me or Eve, I think she has woken up too. Aside from this headache, I don’t think there is any thing wrong with me, haa haa but where am I? I don’t think I’m anywhere near that strange tree.” Jayden mumbled and then tried relaxing his mind.
” Okay so listen carefully, after you had fallen unconscious some people took you with them and brought you here as a sacrifice to pray to their God… ”
Anna explained everything, Jayden stayed silent and finally understood his situation he was surprised all this had really happened and felt proud of his defence.
” So right now I’m inside a coffin, and they would only pull it out once they believe that I’m dead and then they would use my body as a sacrifice. ” Jayden mumbled with narrowed eyes, the pain in his head was also disappearing slowly.
” Yes that’s all, now tell me what happened to that golden seed that your stupid pet ate, how come she hasn’t died? Or do you receive any kind of benefit from it? ”
Anna asked eagerly, the existence of a world tree is a very big phenomenon and if someone actually succeeds in forming any kind of connection with that tree then it wouldn’t be wrong to say that they would definitely develop into one of the biggest world powers.
After listening to her question, Jayden closed his eyes and tried sensing any kind of changes inside his or Eve’s body, several moments passed and then a frown appeared on his face after a couple more minutes he opened his eyes and sighed before replying to her:
” I don’t know, I can’t sense any kind of abnormality inside my body and Eve seems completely normal too, it’s like I have just woke up from a deep sleep and that golden seed has completely disappeared. ”
Then he paused and stared forward intently while thinking about something.
” Even though there is nothing but I could certainly feel that something is different in my body, it’s a strange feeling, let’s wait and see if it’s something good or not, I can’t do anything about it right now anyway. ” Jayden then added.
” I guess so, we can only wait, for now you need to focus on these people, tell him how are you going to deal with them, are you going to forgive them or kill them all? ”
Anna asked curiously, although she knows how he do things but there is no pattern in his behaviour, it mostly depends on his mood.
” That will depend on how they behave, but since they tried cutting my body, a little bit of punishment wouldn’t be too bad. ” He said and used his Void skill to see just how far under the ground he was buried.
‘ Hmm around fifteen feet and they even placed those heavy stones to welcome me, how thoughtful then I should give a return gift to them. ‘
Thinking this, Jayden placed both of his palms against the surface of the coffin and slowly began to exert some force, even though it was day time outside but because of the warning no one was going near the giant stones therefore no one noticed the trembling of those stones and the land around them.
Then Jayden pushed it with a little more strength, cracks began to appear in the land around the place he was buried that soon began to extend to other areas the trembling of the stones got more and more wilder, and within seconds the entire cave felt an earthquake.
Panicked shouts of all the members sounded as they hastily came out of their rooms and all gathered in the centre area of the cave.
By now Jayden had pushed the giant stones to a height of over five feet as he sat up inside the coffin, if he wanted he could have just thrown them away with a single push but he wanted to scare all of these people and also destroy a little of their cave.
” L- Look those s- stones, why are they-? ”
One of the women in the group finally noticed the strange movements of the stones and while pointing towards them she spoke.
Everyone looked at the stones and began to run away from them, the cracks in the ground were soon stretched towards the rooms in the walls, and as the height of the stones rose the rooms began to fall one after another.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
Loud sounds kept ringing inside the cave as over a quarter of the room were soon destroyed, all of them were panicked and ran towards the entrance of the cave, the hunters all surrounded the slowly rising stones.
All the people who were busy running away were all soon stopped by the people of the temple and the hunters, they knew if everyone ran out at the same time then casualties would be unavoidable.
The giant stones soon reached a height of ten feet, Jayden was floating upwards slowly, he was able to raise all that weight with one hand alone.
