Chapter 776: One Hundred and One People

Everyone was startled.

They looked toward Wu Zhen one after another.

Wu Zhen's expression was uncharacteristically troubled as he continued, "My Lord, if this commoner guesses correctly... this entire Wangchuan Grotto is not merely attempting to create an Artificial Blessed Land; this Tuolei intends to use the Blood Sacrifice method to complete it all!"

Blood Sacrifice?

The entire crowd was in an uproar.

Liu Zheng frowned upon hearing this.

These two words alone did not sound like anything good...

People of the ancient times loved to engage in such bizarre things. Of course, Liu Zheng had always maintained the proper reverence for such talk of gods and ghosts. After all, he was a transmigrator himself; to insist that one was a staunch materialist would be pure nonsense.

Wu Zhen nodded and said, "The Blood Sacrifice method is a technique where a Feng Shui master uses the blood and souls of thousands upon thousands of people to refine an array! According to legend, to successfully cultivate a Blessed Land, one needs at least one hundred thousand people!"

The entire crowd was dumbfounded.

One hundred thousand people?

Does that mean this Tomb Cluster of Tuolei has at least one hundred thousand wronged souls buried here as sacrifices?

"Ah!"

Among the group of followers, some women could not help but scream. It must be mentioned here that Li Xuanya from Joseon had never left the team, and she had firmly chosen to travel with Liu Zheng... so even with a firm will, she was still a woman, and at the thought of one hundred thousand people potentially dying here, she still shuddered.

"One hundred thousand people..."

Liu Zheng took a deep breath.

The Prince of Wei, the Prince of Yong, and Tie Mucheng were equally shocked.

Wu Zhen continued.

This thing called Blood Sacrifice is inherently an evil method, but it just so happens to belong to the category of methods for forcibly creating a Blessed Land. A Blessed Land should naturally be a heaven-sent fortune; if one wishes to create one artificially, the difficulty is too great. Tuolei wanted to turn his Tomb Cluster into a Blessed Land, naturally hoping that one day, a dragon among men would emerge from his descendants to complete his dream of conquering Longyan for him.

So for the sake of this dream, he was nearly insane, sparing no cost.

The Prince of Wei sneered, "The name of Tuolei has long been sealed in history, which shows that his Blood Sacrifice method..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he felt something was wrong.

The others also gasped.

That's right!

It seems this Blood Sacrifice method of Tuolei is still in progress! Otherwise, why would it absorb one hundred people at a time, one hundred people at a time? Thinking of it this way, these people are already in grave danger!

Shock!

The shock this brought to everyone was undoubtedly immense.

This Blood Sacrifice method has actually been continuing for several hundred years?

Then how exactly is this accomplished?

Liu Zheng looked at Wu Zhen quietly, very much wanting to get an answer from him.

Wu Zhen smiled bitterly, "My Lord, how it is achieved, this commoner does not know. But it is nothing more than two possibilities: either mechanisms or living creatures... However... based on this commoner's experience, this place is located at the bottom of a river, and the environment is damp; if it were mechanisms, it would actually be very difficult to sustain for hundreds of years..."

The hearts of the crowd sank upon hearing this.

Many people were once again terrified, their faces changing color.

The possibility of mechanisms is not high...

That means... it is very likely that there are living creatures hidden in this tomb!

Several hundred years, living creatures...

The huge contradiction between these two terms was undoubtedly striking at people's nerves.

If there really were living creatures here, then are these creatures living things or dead things... This way of asking sounds quite problematic, but it expresses the inner thoughts of the people present.

Ghosts and gods...

The scene was deathly silent.

Liu Zheng was afraid that this emotion would continue to spread, so he decisively shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that mysterious... Although this place is underground, the air is accessible, and there is water and food; it is not impossible for living creatures to exist. Everyone, stay calm. If it were ghosts and gods, why would the other party use this method to abduct people? I fear we would have all died here long ago!"

Hearing this, people's hearts were slightly eased.

That's right, if there were truly ghosts and gods, they would likely have died long ago.

But soon, a grave robber said very inappropriately, "I'm just afraid it's those zombies or corpses; that would be fun..."

Sure enough.

This immediately made the whole crowd panic again.

The current situation is indeed somewhat difficult to handle.

Stay here?

No!

These people will starve to death sooner or later!

Continue down that passage?

Also no!

When there are one hundred people, it is purely feeding the Blood Sacrifice!

The Prince of Wei grew anxious: "Damn it, General Wang, pull one of my Red Barbarian Cannons over!"

"Absolutely not..."

"Prince of Wei..."

The crowd was startled.

The Prince of Yong also hurriedly held him back.

Liu Zheng looked at Wu Zhen again.

He always felt that this young man was quite extraordinary. Since he had guessed this Blood Sacrifice array, he must have some countermeasures.

As expected.

Wu Zhen said indifferently, "If it is a mechanism, then that is easy to talk about; we just need to find a Method to destroy the mechanism. But if it is a living creature... we must find a Method to figure out exactly what kind of living creature it is, to be so ferocious. Then, we must come up with a way to deal with it..."

He paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "Moreover, my lord, you must be careful; the centennial blood sacrifice, combined with fresh human blood, easily facilitates the success of an array. I fear that when the time comes, some bad things will happen..."

"Therefore..."

Therefore.

Everyone's heart sank.

Therefore, when it comes to this "delivering heads," one must absolutely consider that the fewer, the better.

We must think of a Method to break the current situation!

How to break the situation?

Suddenly.

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up: "This passage starts to activate when it reaches one hundred people, so what if there are not one hundred people?"

The group of people blinked.

That's right.

Damn it!

Such a simple matter, why hadn't they thought of it?

If one hundred people go in, something will happen, so what if there aren't one hundred people? What if a dozen or so people go in first to take a look?

With a dozen or so people, will anything happen in this passage? If not, if they keep walking, where can they end up?

As soon as this Method was thought of, Wu Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I am not mistaken, they will still end up back here!"

The crowd did not believe it.

Liu Zheng immediately pointed to fifteen soldiers and headed toward the passage.

At first, people were still trembling with fear; after all, these were also fifteen lives, but fortunately, they walked inside cautiously for several dozen minutes, and nothing happened in this passage.

Just when everyone was overjoyed.

Things were indeed just as Wu Zhen had said...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, these fifteen people returned from this passage the same way they came...

The group of people were nearly spitting blood.

How is this supposed to be played?

Could it be that this passage is curved inside?

They went around in a circle and came back out.

Those fifteen people, while relieved, were also completely bewildered.

Liu Zheng's patience was worn thin by this time, and he cursed: "Damn it, send one hundred and one people in!"

The expressions of everyone present changed.
