Chapter 229

Ji Zangyu looked at the woman who was crying so much that she almost fainted, and then at Mrs. Withered Leaf who was waiting beside her.

"Why?" he asked.

"Prove your determination." Mrs. Withered Leaf replied, "I want to know that you will give everything for our goal, unlike the woman next to you."

She was obviously not referring to the pregnant woman.Ji Zangyu looked back at Yale Liga, but for some reason she seemed a little happy.He mulled over his words, and said in a not-so-clean alliance language: "Killing people, can you show your determination?"

Mrs. Withered Leaf twisted her body flexibly and softly. First, she rose more than five meters, swaying among the countless smoky and blood-stained spreaders, and then suddenly folded, sticking her grimace made of little dragon orchids to Ji Zang. In front of jade face.

"It's a sacrifice," she said, "you choose some and leave others. We want to go to Paradise, some lives must go to the Abyss. Her blood and her child's blood will be dedicated to an atavistic spell .And you, either participate in it, or become a tool for others to participate. Delevingne is not interested in you, he only wants your blood."

The Aconitum that was called raised its head.There was a kind of mixed, unhappy eagerness in his eyes.

"I must stress this again, ma'am," he said dryly, "he has sun-flame essence in his blood, and the mirror in the well shows him to be a golden crow. This imp comes from the depths of the moon, and we Be careful with him."

"That's good for us. We really need someone who understands the Lunar Realm to solve the atavism problem. Don't you, Delevingne? His blood can also stabilize your mentally damaged materials. I think we still cooperate leeway, rather than simply draining him all at once.”

Aconitum is clearly more inclined to the latter.For some unknown reason, a subtle change occurred in his attitude towards Ji Zangyu.The old witch doctor was no longer as calm as he used to be, and he didn't spout any vicious words.He just tried every means to dissuade Mrs. Withered Leaf.From his various performances, Yale Liga even smelled a strange panic.

In the end, Mrs. Withered Leaf became impatient with his persuasion: "We can first look at the child's own ideas, Delevingne. There is still a lot of time to observe, today is just the first step. If he can't prove himself, then he is Yours."

Aconitum's face softened a little, and Yareriga knew what he was thinking, and that was what she was worried about.She had thought of the possibility of this "trial" as early as yesterday.If Ji Zangyu wants to go out, he must gain Madam Withered Leaf's trust, and any verbal prevarication will be regarded as unreliable.They inevitably require the surrender to prove themselves by cruel means, which is why Yareriga herself is still trapped in this to this day.

She knows that this is not inevitable, but there is no way to escape this test, so she can only watch quietly.It was a situation she had never faced before, and she wasn't sure how she wanted Ji Zangyu to choose.

"Let me go out first." Ji Zangyu said.

Madam Withered Leaves asked Sati to open the cell door.Because of the mysterious house-changing incident, the jailers seemed to believe that Ji Zangyu had some kind of secret magic, so they became extra vigilant.On the contrary, Aconitum sneered, showing a kind of arrogance in his defense.His attitude makes sense: the cell is just a torture device that inflicts pain on the prisoner, and the guards are more like living parts of these torture devices.It is Iron Skull Rainbow itself that can really trap those mages, elves, and all those with supernatural powers.

——For Yue Jing, death is another form of birth.Power over the land is given to the born as well as the dead.The former peak owners of Princess Mountain firmly believe in this concept.They used cursed iron to create the Iron Skull Rainbow that formed the Demon Realm, and then filled it with witchcraft ghosts.Every victim starting from Yili Tesi has become a "resident" of Iron Skull Rainbow.They are no longer a thing of time, but they cannot just disappear, or go to the moonland kingdom where they should belong.Iron Skull Rainbow became their tomb, prison and kingdom.Since Yale Liga entered here, she has never seen any life that can fight against these "hell spirits".

Ji Zangyu couldn't do it either, this has been confirmed before.No matter where he came from, like most of the behemoths in the moonland, "land rights" have huge constraints on him, and that is the skill that the students of "Eye in the Snail" are good at.

The prison door was opened.Ji Zangyu walked out surrounded by the jailers.When he came to the pregnant woman, Sati leisurely handed over a clean and bright curved knife.

"You have to use this," he said, fiddling with the blade, "this sacrificial knife. It's light and handy. Take it and stroke the woman's stomach lightly, to cut out the contents and chop it up, so that it will It is regarded as a sacrifice of the atavistic curse, understand? The knife should be done gently, because this woman is about to give birth, and if she gets nervous, she will directly squeeze out the little thing in her stomach... Don't look at it like that Look at me, kid, do you understand or not?"

Ji Zangyu looked at him without showing any emotion, as if she didn't understand what he said at all, but she still stepped forward and took the curved blade knife.Satie was somewhat wary of this, but it was unnecessary in Yareriga's view.She could tell at a glance that the knife was short and thin, and although it looked frighteningly shiny, it was actually blunt and brittle, and might deform if it was broken hard.It is not a weapon used to fight the enemy, but a typical ritual prop, dedicated to torturing the sacrifices and amplifying their emotional strength before death.

Such a knife would not pose the slightest threat to the jailers, but it would be very different to the pregnant woman.When Ji Zangyu walked up to her holding the knife, she trembled and stopped moaning and sobbing, curled up, and kept quiet as much as she could, as if hoping to make the god of death ignore her existence.Allerica in prison couldn't see her face clearly, only her fat and clumsy figure.There was an obvious scratch on her wrist, and the sackcloth skirt was very dirty, and she had roughly mended it several times with withered locks of hair.

She seems to be just an ordinary rural woman who has the misfortune to be involved in the performance of the madmen.Out of her tenacious survival instinct, she took all the countermeasures she could think of, but when Ji Zangyu, who was holding a knife, knelt down in front of her and held her face with the handle of the knife, Yale Liga still listened. By the time she broke down crying and begging for mercy.She begged Ji Zangyu to let her go, for which she was willing to pay all the family’s land and only one sheep, and her husband and parents would try their best to raise enough ransom——Sati couldn’t help laughing when she heard this .

"Oh, silly girl, what are you thinking about." He said with a smile, "Where do you have a husband and parents? Mrs. Qin Ma is not interested in the fields. As for the sheep, last time he said he wanted to find two Only the same horn as mine hangs in the cemetery!"

What he said just made the pregnant woman pause, and then continued to pray to Ji Zangyu over and over again.Perhaps she had already been told these things countless times after she was captured, so she would rather take Sati's words as false threats.Allerica hoped so too, but she knew the opposite might be the case.

Ji Zangyu held the knife with her only right hand, and the handle of the knife pressed against the pregnant woman's chin.They looked at each other like this for a while, and Ji Zangyu asked, "Where are you from?"

"Please let me go." The woman was still sobbing. "You can take everything else. My husband can go to work on the ship, and he is willing to pay a high price to redeem me..."

Unlike Sati, who speaks Ardia, she speaks a native language that is very similar to the Alliance language, so Yale Liga can basically understand it.The same seems to be the case with Ji Zangyu, who is in charge of the poor prisoner's life and death.He repeated the old question several times, and finally he simply pointed his index finger on the woman's forehead.

This was an action that no one else could understand, but the desperate pregnant woman immediately fell silent.She became silent, almost making Yale Liga think that Ji Zangyu had killed her by some means.

But a few seconds later, Ji Zangyu stood up from the ground, but the pregnant woman started to tremble.She leaned on the main wall, trying to support her heavy body on her bleeding feet.

Ji Zangyu turned to look at Mrs. Withered Leaf.

"I have one last question," he said.

Mrs. Withered Leaf refused mercilessly: "You can't use other proof methods."

"No change." Ji Zangyu said, "What kind of enmity is there between you two?"

Madam Withered Leaf's hair began to shake slightly, as if recalling the name Ji Zangyu mentioned.But Ji Zangyu didn't seem to intend to really ask for an answer, so he quickly turned his head and continued to look at the pregnant woman.

"Want to live?" he said.

The pregnant woman looked at him a little dullly, and finally nodded.

"Give birth to this fetus." Ji Zangyu said, "immediately."

He dropped the sacrificial knife in his hand and cast a cold glance at the jailers.Immediately afterwards, Yale Liga saw a scene she could never have imagined: Ji Zangyu threw off her sleeves, revealing her shining palms.He didn't hit any of the guarding guards with this hand, but slapped the woman's cumbersome belly hard.
