He Comes From the Void

Chapter 49: Retirement

   After clearing the underground herd, the two finally made time to go to the surface.

   Kane was worried that he would be exposed to humans, so as usual, he let Kaisha hide on him, and he waited for the news near the exit.

   The dark night of the desert is not dim. The half moon hangs high in the endless sky, and the sky casts stars.

   For Kesha, this is much brighter than the underground world.

   The strong smell of life slowly rose on her face along with the dust, Kesha wrinkled her eyebrows under the helmet, and immediately stepped out of the rock pile to look around.

   The sight in front of her angered her!

   The pile of rocks at the tunnel entrance was artificially fenced with wooden stakes, which were inserted into the ground and connected to the rock pillars, enclosing the pile of rocks into an animal fence with an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

   And judging from the low stakes, what the inverted animal pen wants to hold is not the life-swallowing void monster, but the sacrificial sheep in the pen!

  Yes, the smell Kesha smelled is the odor of grass, dung and wool.

   She saw a group of goats huddled together under the stone pillars with huge skulls, leaning on the stone pillars that penetrated the yellow sand of the desert to resist the cold wind of hunting and hunting at night, relying on each other to maintain their body temperature.

   And this animal pen was set up to prevent the sheep from escaping!

   Keisha looked into the distance again, the settlement not far away was a little lit with lights dotted with the dry and cold night, which means that these people have not left, and still live a seemingly peaceful life in the settlement.

   This makes her very angry.

   clearly warned again and again, why not only did these people not move out, but also put the sheep in such a dangerous place!

   Inviting the void creatures to come up to eat, do you think you died fast enough!

   Do you have to wait until your home is ruined and fill everything into the monster’s stomach to know how much Void’s appetite is?

   Kesha was very angry, it can be said that she was furious, but she still held back and did not vent.

   Because the wind spread her scent among the sheep, they screamed in panic. And this voice led to two human beings hiding in the dark, and Keisha heard the conversation between them.

   "What's the matter? Screaming so terribly? Is the monster coming?"

   A man holding a spear walked out from behind the stone pillar in a fighting posture with a look of anxiety on his face.

   "There are no monsters, don't scare yourself."

   The other man’s hat was also slanted, and he was moved from his face to the tousled hair. His **** was stained with dust, and he knew at a glance that he was sitting on the ground just resting.

  Kaisha was glad that she came out invisible, otherwise she might have discovered it by carrying two humans hiding in the dark.

   "Just watch the night vigil, don't be lazy. If a monster comes and you are sleeping, I won't wake you up."

   The sheep gradually calmed down, and the spearman said to his companions fiercely after finding that there was nothing abnormal in the animal pen.

   But the man in the cloth hat didn't care, and fought back in a disdainful tone: "How can there be any monsters, if there were any, these sheep would have been taken away long ago."

   "Then how do you explain so many strange things that happened in the front settlement?" The spearman tapped his companion with his spear.

"Those things happened before and no one has died, and you think about it, real monsters will scare people and not kill people? Obviously not. If I say, some evil mage must be pretending to be a ghost and deliberately teasing us, but he The method is too clever and we can't find it. Don't come to a few missionaries and say that there are monsters and you believe it. It's naive. They also say that only sacrifices can feed the monsters and protect the settlement from intrusion..."

   The man in the hat cursed full of resentment, as if he had something to do with the missionary.

   Hearing the missionary, Keisha's ears flickered, and she intuitively told her that this might be the reason why people did not listen to the warning.

   "The strange things in the settlement have really stopped these days. Everyone thinks the missionaries are right."

   "So you believe it?"

   "I don't believe it, but the chief believes it, otherwise we won't be here to watch the night." The spearman sighed.

"Don't be wronged, I'm more wronged than you. The only two sheep in my family have been pulled over as sacrifices. Those two missionaries are simply beasts, and even the little ewes who are pregnant and can produce milk will not be spared. ."

   The man in the hat usually squeezes the goat's milk, and while speaking, he regretfully squeezed the strong pectoral muscle of the spear man, which caused the latter to curse.

   "Go! Go looking for your ewe so hungry!"

"It's cold, the sheep know that they stay together to keep out the cold, and you don't let me keep warm. At any rate, we stay together at night, it's really impersonal." The man in the hat rubbed his arms vigorously. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. At this time, it was midnight, and the cold wind with gravel blew on Mao's face and it was very painful.

   "Won't you huddle with the sheep, it's warm there. You can also do some warm-up exercises when you're interested, and you're afraid of the cold."

   Kesha did not continue to eavesdrop on the warm-hearted conversation between the two men. The more pure she listened, the more incomprehensible she became, and she simply went back underground and told Kane the situation.

   Of course, it also includes the follow-up topics of the two night watchmen about the ewe.

   "Ahem, I forgot about the ewes. The focus of our attention is on the two foreign missionaries." Kane patted Keisha's shoulder lightly, speaking like an old father.

   "According to what you heard, the arrival of the missionaries caused people to build an animal pen next to the tunnel with sheep and animals as sacrifices. They wanted to use the sacrifices in exchange for the safety of people."

   "Yes, that's it!" Keisha clenched her fists, nowhere to spread her anger.

   Anger filled her with energy, and she said to Kane: "Or we go and kill all the goats~www.readwn.com~Leave the carcasses and not eat them, and warn them not to throw sacrifices underground."

"The sacrifice is meant to be sacrificed. When you killed the sacrifice, didn't you mean that sacrifice is effective?" Hearing this, Kane directly screwed her ears: "You might as well go over Those goats kill the two night watchmen, so that you can pass on your anger, and you can also warn people of nervousness before sending the sacrifice."

   Kesha was frightened, and shook her head again and again: "Without grudges, how can we kill people? Isn't that the same as monsters?"

   "Forget it, let me think of another way."

   Killing is still too taboo for Kesha now. She has received a lot of positive feedback from humans in the former small village, so even if she has been misunderstood once, she still has a good impression of humans.

   She saw many things worth protecting in humans. Those love and kindness actually do not conflict with people's stupidity.

   After all, stupidity is just because I haven't seen it with my own eyes. It's not really hopeless.

   Keisha came back to her senses. She quickly noticed Kane who was suddenly quiet. Seeing that he looked as usual, not half angry, she wondered: "Why are you not angry at all?"

   Kane is now wondering whether or not to raise the tram problem to make things difficult for Kesha and push her bottom line, but after thinking about it, forget it.

   Not right.

   "What's the point of being angry with a group of self-deceiving guys." Kane didn't even feel disappointed. Although there were two more unexpected missionaries, the result did not exceed his expectations.

   He sighed and said a thought that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Kesha, or... let's leave them alone?"
