I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

Chapter 399 Altar, Statue

"Ah!"

"Do you think you can stop us like this?" Qin Nuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and her eyes flashed with determination and confidence.

Qin Nuan narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly formed seals with his hands...

Then, with a whoosh, an extremely huge fire dragon appeared out of nowhere, and with its fangs and claws bared, it swooped down towards the big locust tree.

The blazing flames swept over like a tidal wave and slammed heavily into the big locust tree.

In an instant, there was a crackling sound, as if the whole world was on fire.

"what………"

Suddenly, a shrill scream resounded through the sky, breaking the tranquility of the entire village.

Following this scream, the locust tree that was originally towering into the sky began to shake violently, and continued to shrink and become smaller...

Eventually, the big locust tree turned into a small sapling that was only half a person's height.

Not long after, the second and third elders came together.

"The scream just now came from this guy. This guy is quite good at hiding. It took us a lot of effort to catch him." The two elders said with a hint of pride in their tone.

The two old men were so smart that they did not throw the man to the ground as usual. Instead, they grabbed the man's collar tightly and refused to let go for a moment.

Hearing the voice, Qin Nuan walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, staring at the man in front of him for a long time with sharp eyes, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face: "Single Wood Spirit?"

"But that's not right. The bloody smell in this village... doesn't seem to be just because of him." Qin Nuan muttered to herself, thinking secretly in her heart...

"Captain, there's no one in this village! And as we move towards the end of the village, the smell of blood in the air becomes stronger."

Shura and Smiling Tiger hurried over and reported the situation to Qin Nuan in a hurried tone.

Qin Nuan glanced calmly at the man being dragged, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go check it out together."

"As ordered!"

However, Qin Nuan didn't know that just as her blazing flames hit the big locust tree, somewhere hundreds of miles away, an old man with a hooked nose and small eyes suddenly spit out blood, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper.

He looked towards the direction where Qin Nuan and her companions were, then frowned, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and staggered away...

Qin Nuan seemed to sense something strange and stopped involuntarily, turning her head and staring in that direction.

She frowned slightly and murmured to herself, "It seems that I have overlooked something important..."

"team leader?"

"team leader?"

The teammates around her saw Qin Nuan suddenly stop and called out to her.

Qin Nuan retracted her gaze, shook her head and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's go and take a look ahead first."

The group continued to walk towards the end of the village. The further they went in, the stronger the smell of blood became.

When they finally reached the end of the village, the sight before them shocked everyone.

The ground was littered with corpses of villagers, blood was flowing like a river, it was like hell on earth. Qin Nuan looked at this scene with a serious expression, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

She turned to look at the captured man and said sternly, "What the hell is going on? Tell me!"

The man trembled, looked at Qin Nuan in horror, and stammered, "I... I don't know either, I was just passing by here..."

Qin Nuan's eyes flashed with doubt, but she couldn't care less at the moment. She made a prompt decision and said, "Xura, Smiling Tiger, you two protect the scene. I'll go around to check if there are any other clues."

Before she finished her words, she disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Not long after, Qin Nuan came back with a gloomy face, staring at the single wood spirit and said coldly: "There is no need to keep this person, I already know."

"Yes."

"No! Don't! I said, I said..." When the man heard Qin Nuan say that he didn't need to stay, he panicked and started shouting immediately.

Of course.

When the Yaksha met Qin Nuan's gaze, he didn't give him the chance to continue speaking and flashed a cold light in his eyes.

There was a bloody mark on the man's neck.

Lost life.

"Yaksha, burn it. Burn the bodies too."

"Yes."

After half an hour.

The six continued to move forward...

………………

The boundless, lifeless sea of ​​death.

Guo Qiusa led Sa Yi and several others to carefully search the area within a hundred miles around the Sea of ​​Death.

“Are you sure you didn’t find anything?”

“Indeed not.”

“Apart from a few traces on the sea floor, there was nothing found anywhere else.”

Seeing that Guo Qiusa's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, the people who returned to report did not dare to hide anything and answered truthfully.

"Island Master, Sa San hasn't returned yet. Maybe he will find something."

"Island owner, island owner..."

While they were talking, a burst of urgent shouting reached everyone's ears.

Everyone followed the sound.

I saw Sa San covering his arm and running towards this side quickly.

Everyone was shocked and rushed forward, asking in unison: "What happened?"

"Sa San, how did you get hurt?"

"We were attacked by a monster." Sa San gasped, his face pale.

Guo Qiusa frowned, "Monster? What kind of monster?"

Sa San said with lingering fear: "Its body is like an octopus, with many tentacles, and it moves very fast. My arm was scratched by its tentacles."

Guo Qiusa's eyes narrowed, "Could it be the legendary 'Deep Sea Demon Seal'?"

Everyone's faces changed when they heard this. The "Deep Sea Demon Seal" is an extremely rare marine creature that is said to have powerful strength and mysterious abilities.

Guo Qiusa pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that this sea of ​​death hides more secrets. We must be careful."

He looked at the injured Sa San and said, "Take us there to have a look."

"Yes."

Everyone responded and followed Sa San to fly away...

After a few minutes.

The group stopped outside a cave.

"Island Master, there is an altar similar to a sacrificial altar here, and there are many corpses around. I was attacked when I was investigating the altar."

"Altar?"

Seeing Sa San nod, Guo Qiusa looked again at the place where the dragon was imprisoned before. As if he thought of something, he walked into the cave angrily.

Seeing this, Sa Yi frowned and followed silently, thinking in his heart...

When they arrived at the altar that Sa San mentioned, everyone was shocked.

The place in front of me is as big as a basketball court, with an altar in the center and on the altar is a "sculpture" that looks like a dragon but is not a dragon.

The area around the altar was filled with densely packed white bones.

Even though some of them did not have claustrophobia, their scalps tingled and their hearts tightened.
