Chapter 1712: Sacrifice
Many patients were carried out dying. They already felt that their lives had come to an end and had given up hope.
This was not the first person that the shaman doctor had sacrificed to the god.
Before Little Nuo, the shaman doctor had sacrificed several healthy boys and girls in the tribe. They were full of hope every time, but in the end, they could only become more desperate.
However, a few people with mild symptoms had hopeful expressions, eagerly looking toward the altar, longing for a miracle to happen this time.
They were still so young and did not want to die!
The shaman, dressed in formal ritual attire, was chanting something while dancing around the altar.
On the altar, a haggard woman was tied up, wearing red clothes. She had a rune painted on her face. It was Nu who was being used as a sacrifice.
Nu’s mother stood beside the chief, crying so intensely that she almost fainted.
After the sacrificial dance ended, the shaman doctor threw out the torch in his hand. In an instant, the firewood piled under Nu’s body began to crackle and burn.
“Please forgive us, Pane God. Please take away your dedicated sacrifice and let the curse vanish from our tribe…”
Before the shaman doctor finished speaking, a sudden and dazzling purple light flashed in the air.
Nu let out a scream. Along with the person who had carried her, they soared into the air before landing steadily on the ground.
“What happened?”
“Who dares to ruin the ritual?”
Everyone looked in Nu’s direction.
Behind her, a man walked out slowly. His cold eyes scanned the crowd with a hint of mockery on his face.
Then, the other girl appeared to be 18 years old.
She had fair skin and a slender figure as if she was no different from an ordinary girl.
However, everyone in the Cangda Tribe widened their eyes. Their breathing became slightly rapid, and some even gasped in astonishment.
The reason was simple: the girl before them was incredibly beautiful.
The girl had distinguished facial features and skin as fair as snow. Her black hair draped down like a waterfall, and her lips were naturally red without any makeup.
She merely stood there, without needing to smile or move, yet her presence made the mountains and rivers pale in comparison and even the sun and moon seemed less bright.
Many people from the Cangda Tribe had been to Tuohu City and seen the city lord’s daughter, a beauty with a thousand charms. However, they felt that such a beautiful woman seemed like a dull stone compared to a pearl in front of this girl, completely losing her luster.
The first person to come back to her senses was Nu, “Xi Yue, you… why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come back again? Run away! Flee!”
Xi Yue said calmly, “I promised Little Nuo that I would take you back home.”
Nu was initially stunned, then tears streamed down her face. “Xi Yue, please go. As long as Little Nuo can live well, I will be content. I… I can’t leave. I’m Little Nuo’s mother, but I’m also a member of the tribe, the daughter of my father. The tribe has raised me. I cannot watch it perish or see my people die one by one.”
“Xi Yue, take it as my pleading. Please leave quickly!”
Xi Yue chuckled lightly and did not answer Nu’s words. Instead, she looked not far away.
Soon, everyone saw a tall and strong man slowly walking up to the altar, holding a little boy about 8 years old.
Seeing the man and the little boy, many people in the crowd stared in horror as if they had seen some ghost.
The man was Kulun and the little boy was his son Qi’er.
