Planner of Age of Heroes
Page 83
There were several mercenaries guarding the cages. Inside, the boys and girls who were bought from the poor were huddled together. They were not young, especially the children from poor families who had to grow up early. These people did not look like the mothers who wanted to take them away from here. Moreover, the soldiers did not avoid them and discussed topics related to them.
Living sacrifice or something like that, this doesn’t sound like a good ending. The boy entered the forest, hid in a tree, and saw the scene in the cage from afar. He couldn’t help but feel a bad feeling in his heart. When it comes to human sacrifice, no one should be more familiar with it than the locals like them.
I didn’t expect that these guys were actually planning to perform human sacrifices. What exactly do they want to do?
But after seeing these people planning to sacrifice a living person, the boy knew that this was not something he could interfere with, so he prepared to return to the village early to discuss it with his old father. But just as he was about to turn around and leave, he stepped on a branch and broke it. How could a mercenary who had been walking on the edge of a knife and in a sea of blood not catch this unusual sound?
The sounds of fallen branches being stepped on and the sounds of growing branches being stepped on were completely different. The two mercenaries immediately coordinated and walked towards the direction where the boy was.
After seeing this scene, the boy realized that he was exposed. He would not be able to explain himself even if he was caught. For an organization that dared to use human sacrifices, and had so many mercenaries, it was not impossible for them to secretly kill him here!
Chapter 294: The leopard is coming!
The most important thing is that there are many wild beasts in their area. It is not difficult to disguise as a wild beast attack. Moreover, an organization that can pay so much money to hire mercenaries and dare to perform human sacrifices, even if his father wants to give him justice, he probably can’t do it.
So now I can only try my best to save myself!
Fortunately, no one knows the terrain around here better than they do. Even if these mercenaries use high-tech products to scan the terrain of this area, there will still be a difference between what they see and what they actually do.
The young boy blew a quick whistle and asked his pet eagle to fly back to the village quickly. No matter what, this matter needed to be reported to his father, and he would try to escape as much as possible, escape if he could, hide if he could, and make sure to hold on until the safe moment arrived.
Having said that, the young man was still ready to fight to the death. As a member of the ancient heritage living here, herbal medicine is of course one of the things they must learn. There are all kinds of poisonous weeds in the jungle, and if used properly, they can be their help!
While running, if he saw useful herbs, he would pull them out, take out a leather bag from his pocket, throw the herbs into it, and then keep squeezing it with both hands. Whether he smeared the herbs directly on the obsidian blade or threw them on someone’s face, it would always have some effect.
If I had known that this operation was so dangerous, I should have taken the small crossbow that I received as a souvenir after I gained the qualification to enter the ruins some time ago. This way, it would be much more convenient to use the poison.
The mercenary who was chasing after him didn’t hesitate at all. After discovering that someone was running very fast, he pulled the trigger directly and fired bullets forward. The surrounding birds were startled and bullet holes appeared on the trees. There were also wounds on the boy’s thigh and shoulder. However, the one on the shoulder was more serious. It was not just a scratch, but also a lot of blood splattered.
After seeing his wound, the boy didn’t even dare to pick up the poisonous weeds. The reason was simple. If some of the poisonous weeds got on the bleeding wound, the mercenaries would not be able to kill him, and he would probably be poisoned to death by himself first.
While one mercenary was still shooting, the other mercenary took out a grenade from his waist and threw it forward.
The boy did not expect that the mercenary chasing him would actually throw a grenade directly. With an explosion and roar, the boy’s body flew to the side and then fell heavily to the ground. His brain was dizzy and the tinnitus became more and more severe. What was worse was that because of the explosion just now, a not-so-light tree trunk fell directly on him.
There was no way to push the tree trunk aside in a short period of time, so the boy took out the obsidian dagger from his pocket. Due to the explosion and the pressure of the tree trunk, part of the obsidian dagger had been broken.
But there is nothing we can do about it!
The boy stuffed the obsidian dagger directly into the pocket mixed with poisonous plants and prepared to fight to the death.
But after the boy saw clearly the two mercenaries approaching, his desperate look became a little desperate. The combat uniforms worn by these officers and soldiers were obviously bulletproof, and could even prevent sword stabs to a certain extent. The obsidian dagger in his hand could not hurt the two mercenaries at all.
One of the mercenaries whistled after seeing the boy. “Look! Here comes another sacrifice.”
Another mercenary frowned slightly after seeing the boy’s attire. “This is a local. It would be more effective if we took him to the altar for sacrifice. But the kid seems unwilling to go with us. I think it’s best to get rid of him here.”
The mercenary raised his gun and aimed it at the boy’s forehead. “We’d better not get involved too much with these locals, especially at the altar. Don’t forget that we didn’t buy much of the materials we need to deal with the corpse. We have to pretend that the corpse has been taken away by a wild beast.”
The mercenary looked at the boy with a face full of resentment, blew a whistle, and shook his head gently, “Boy, blame yourself for seeing something you shouldn’t have seen. Goodbye–!!”
Just as the mercenary was about to pull the trigger, the eagle raised by the boy swooped down from the sky and slammed into the pistol.
The boy was also surprised that his pet did not obey his order to go home and inform his father, but continued to secretly hover over him. However, this saved his life, but it was just that…it did not change the ending. Maybe even his little eagle would die here, and they would really die without any evidence.
Another mercenary nearby swung the gun in his hand and hit the eagle. Some feathers on the eagle’s wings flew out and finally rolled directly into the grass beside it.
Meanwhile, the mercenary who was hit shook his numb hands and twisted his neck. Looking at the eagle that couldn’t get up for a while, he showed a refreshing smile on his face, “Well done! I didn’t expect to be hit by this thing. It really shows the deep affection between the master and the pet. In this case, you two can go together!”
The mercenary raised the gun in his hand again, but this time, the moment he raised his hand, a sound of breaking wind came from a distance, and the next moment blood splattered everywhere. The mercenary’s two arms were cut off and fell to the ground, and a long knife was stuck in the ground.
Screams echoed throughout the forest, and another mercenary quickly raised his gun and aimed it at the direction where the long knife was flying. The next moment, a black shadow with a hint of red light appeared in front of him, and then an attack like a claw hit him directly in the stomach. The powerful force made the mercenary fly backwards.
At this time, the figure who attacked here slowly stood up. She was wearing a black big sister suit and a black coat with white fluff. She had a pair of leopard ears on her orange hair and her red eyes stared coldly at the two people in front of her.
Looking at the blood on his fingers, he shook it off gently, then pulled out the long knife that was stuck in the ground. Then he raised his palm, and a flash of flame hit the eagle lying on the ground. It was more like a divine power in the shape of flame than a flame. Although it had no medical function, it could still be bestowed by nature.
Chapter 295: Not a human, but a god!
However, in the legend, the natural gift that mankind stole from nature is fire. It is for this reason that as the leopard god, her divine power naturally manifested in the form of fire. After the fire fell into the eagle’s body, the eagle, which was originally dying, instantly regained its vitality, and even its feathers were dyed with the color of fire.
After regaining its vitality, the eagle quickly flew up and landed on the woman’s shoulder. The leopard man smiled at the eagle and gently touched the eagle’s forehead, “Good boy, it’s good that you’ve recovered.”
The leopard man glanced at the two mercenaries, and his expression gradually turned cold. “It’s you! You are the accomplices who plundered the ancient believers. It’s really hard for me to find you. Let me collect some interest from you first. I, the leopard, have promised the master that I will not eat people anymore, but this does not mean that I will not let my hands be stained with blood.”
The mercenary who had lost both hands and was lying on the ground was still wailing. The Leopard Man swung the long knife in his hand quickly, making the mercenary shut up completely. “Stop making so much noise. The Leopard Man is very angry now. It will only bring destruction and death!”
The mercenary who flew backwards covered his stomach and looked at his unstoppable bleeding. A sad smile appeared on his face, “How could this woman have such terrible strength…”
The leopard man carried his long sword and took a few steps forward. He stepped on the mercenary’s body with his high heels and even twisted it vigorously. “Leopard, I am not a human, I am a god! Have a good taste of the wrath of the ancient gods!”
The Leopard Man stretched out his hand and grabbed the mercenary’s head, then slowly exerted force, feeling as if there was a golden hoop on his head, which kept tightening. The mercenary covered his forehead and tried to pull the Leopard Man’s hand away, but the pain made him only able to make a hoarse sound and he couldn’t even scream.
Finally, as the bones could no longer resist the continued force, a cracking sound was heard, accompanied by a mixture of bright red and white liquids, and the flesh of the mercenary in front of him was gradually turning cold.
Feeling the sticky liquid on his hands gradually losing its temperature, the Leopard Man sighed heavily. Although it was a relief, that was all. He could not save those ancient beliefs just by feeling relieved. In the final analysis, he still had to eliminate the culprit who took away the original beliefs as soon as possible.
If we wait until those primitive beliefs are completely digested or assimilated, there will be no way to save our companions.
The leopard man took a look at the boy who was pinned by the tree trunk, turned the blade in his hand, and cut the tree trunk that was pinned by the boy in half. The leopard man looked at the boy’s clothes, smelled the boy’s scent, and nodded. “So you are a follower of Kukul. Your persistence is really dazzling. I say, do you want to become my believer, Leopard?”
As soon as the Leopard Man finished speaking, a darkness gradually unfolded from the sky, and the power of the gods began to emerge. The mystery of the starry sky and the madness of the things that could not be looked directly at in the starry sky were all displayed here. At the same time, the power that had been swallowed up also gradually emerged. The Leopard Man could clearly feel his own power contained in that shadow.
To be precise, it is the divine power of ancient beliefs. Not only does it belong to itself, but the power belonging to the eagle and the spider is also in the shadow’s stomach and is being slowly digested.
The Leopard Man was no longer interested in digging into Kukul’s corner. Compared to digging into one corner, it would be better to save all of his own beliefs and the beliefs of his ancient companions first. “Little ghost, get out of here quickly. This place is not a place for you to stay any longer.”
Soon a battle between gods will break out here. If the boy continues to stay here, he might be affected by the aftermath of their battle, especially after Kukul comes here. The battle that will break out next will be truly devastating.
At the altar, all the alien corpses have been arranged according to a special pattern. The members of the group held Chinese prayers to the Super Star God in their hands and chanted quietly in the room. When they came into contact with the basketball member named Xinghexing, they began to secretly bring the captured boys and girls to the altar. Of course, these would not be seen by the rich and the white-haired old people.
The person who first founded this church held a short obsidian blade in his hand, which was an extremely sharp weapon in ancient times. It could directly pierce a person’s body in a short time, discard the skin and flesh, and dig out the heart, so as to reduce the pain of the sacrificer. It could also reduce the time of digging out the heart and ensure the accuracy of the sacrifice to the gods.
The gods in Aztec mythology basically have two sides. If the time for sacrifice is missed and they offer the sacrifice to the other side of the god, it would be a huge mistake.
As the sacrifice was about to begin, the Super Star God also began to overlook the area. After all, this was a sacrifice to him, and if he didn’t show up, how could he absorb the benefits of the sacrifice?
The alien’s body began to turn into charcoal. Looking at the star power being absorbed gradually, the initial human cause of the church was created. He brought those boys and girls over. He would use their blood to awaken the power of the old gods.
The Super Star God in the sky seemed to sense the approach of other gods, and seemed to sense the hostility of the newcomers. Starlight fell from the sky and transformed into one unique humanoid being after another. The bodies of these beings seemed to be made up of stars. They held various weapons in their hands and rushed towards the direction where the sense of crisis came from.
The boys and girls were tied with ropes and taken to the highest point, and they kept pushing Sangsang until they reached the highest point. It was not that these boys and girls did not want to escape from here, but the mercenaries around them all had guns in their hands, and they would die if they escaped, so they might as well follow these people and see if there was any chance.
Of course, these children also understand that such thoughts are basically just wishful thinking on their part.
Several mercenaries ran over, grabbed a boy’s limbs, and forced him onto the altar. At the same time, they tore off the boy’s upper body clothes to make it easier for the obsidian dagger to penetrate his body.
At this moment, a starry sky that blocked the invaders was minus, and the soldiers were directly knocked away from a distance and smashed onto the altar. Waves of dust were raised in the distance, and one star soldier after another was severely knocked away.
Chapter 296: Let’s go! Fly and charge~!
The Leopard Man kicked aside a mercenary who was blocking his way, and walked step by step to the altar with a long sword in hand. He looked up at the huge shadow in the sky, tapped his shoulder lightly with the long sword, and the flames on his body began to burn. After all, this was a jungle.
[Eye of the Leopard], official skill name: [Jaws of the Dark Forest], Eye of the Leopard is the power of the light cannon. When in the [Forest] venue, it will add various bonus effect judgments. The bonus shown in reality should not be underestimated. Not only that, the Leopard Man also stimulated his other two inherent skills at the same time.
[Leopard Kick], official skill name: [Super Strength], Leopard Kick is destructive power, and the super strength level of the Leopard Man, who symbolizes war and death, is not low. With the superposition of multiple bonuses, the Leopard Man is definitely a top-notch Heroic Spirit.
[Leopard Fist], official skill name: [Leopard Protection], Leopard Fist is also a destructive force. It is the protection bestowed by the leopard spirit. It will not feel fear and pain. It is a compound skill that combines the effects of bravery skills and intuitive skills.
With the combination of these three forces, the magic power emanating from the leopard man has gradually formed the shape of a giant leopard. Its red eyes are fixed on the god in the sky, but the power it displays now is still far from that of the god in the sky.
It’s like his momentum is obviously not weak, but the divine power contained in the god in the sky is much higher than that of the leopard man. However, this is normal. After all, no one knows how much faith this guy has eaten. But it is also unknown how much power of those faiths this existence called the Super Star God can exert. After all, although he eats a lot, he doesn’t digest much.
So the Leopard Man wouldn’t be nervous at all, “Let me see what kind of power you have, and then spit out everything you eat!”
The Super Star God in the sky just watched all this coldly, and his snake-like body slowly twisted a few times, then he opened his mouth and exhaled. A trace of divine power descended from the sky and landed on the ground, on the soldiers made up of stars, and the appearance of these soldiers began to gradually change towards the direction of wild beasts.
This is a gift from the ancient faith that was swallowed up.
After seeing this situation, the expression on the Leopard Man’s face became even colder. Good guy, what a good guy, he actually used the power plundered from them to deal with them, this is really too much.
Looking at a monster that looked like a vulture and could be said to be formed by the power of stars and chaos, the Leopard Man did not hesitate and raised the knife in her hand and swung it forward. If she did not defeat these beings and cut off the head of the so-called Super Star God, her friends would truly never be able to return!
Therefore, the only way now is to be ruthless and kill all these familiars that have been transformed by relying on the power of their former companions!
“Hmph… I can smell the smell of blood today… The wind in South America is always like this… Are you ready? Try to take my attack, it will kill you! [No Escape from Death Claw]!”
The leopard man raised the long sword high up, and then the flames swirled up and condensed into a huge flaming claw. Then the flaming claw was swung forward quickly, just like a leopard’s sharp claws easily tearing the enemy’s skin and flesh. The attack of the treasure composed of flames also easily tore apart the familiars summoned and transformed by the Super Star God.
“Hmph! That’s all…”
The leopard man looked at the priests on the altar, took a deep breath and rushed upwards. After seeing this, the Super Star God floating in the sky opened his mouth again, and this time what burst out was the image of a leopard burning with flames and stained with the power of the starry sky.
Obviously, this is the power of faith belonging to the Leopard God in the ancient belief of this world, and it seems that it has burst out directly at once, but the faith in the Leopard God does not have the slightest initiative. After all, the power possessed by the Super Star God is too strong. A simple belief cannot break free from the cage.
If the Leopard Man’s blade tears this faith apart, I’m afraid even the Leopard Man himself will suffer certain injuries. This is basically killing 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 of himself. But now it seems that he can’t stop himself. Could it be that in the seventh singularity, he will have to suffer a situation similar to Kukul’s divine punishment?
In the board house nearby, the white-haired old man frowned as he heard the noise coming from outside. He asked the secretary beside him, “What happened outside? We seem to hear a noisy sound. If this continues, my friend and I won’t be able to continue playing mahjong.”
The secretary of the white-haired old man gently pulled the curtains tight with a smile on his face, of course he knew what happened outside, but these things should not affect the heavier forces they had gathered with great difficulty. Only by relying on these heavier forces can their church continue to develop and even become the first church of the entire Bald Eagle.
“It’s just a normal situation during the ritual. My god will take care of everything. So there’s no problem. Let’s continue our war on this mahjong table.”
The white-haired old man glanced at his secretary and said nothing. Even if he found something wrong, what else could he say? He was just an ordinary person. Before he received the blessing of God, he should leave all the things to these capable people. He was very adaptable to the changes in his various identities.
The Leopard Man looked at the shadow of the leopard pouncing towards him, gritted his teeth, and finally decided to swing the knife in his hand. Otherwise, if he would just take the beating unilaterally or fail to rush up to rescue the children as soon as possible, wouldn’t everything he had done be in vain?
It was also at this time that a sound of breaking wind was heard, and a huge shadow passed across the sky.
This is the Cretaceous pterosaur that was summoned and given the name by the blonde big sister – Quetzalcoatl. The big sister is riding on it now. In fact, it is a fantasy beast that is much more powerful than the Quetzalcoatl that lived in the Cretaceous period, and it is even a fantasy species of the legendary beast level. After all, this is also the treasure held by the blonde big sister, and it even has the real name released.
After the blonde sister saw the group’s situation from high above, she jumped down from the pterosaur’s back and made an aerial attack motion, “Here we go~… Fly and charge~!”
——–
There are only 4 updates today. I’m a bit stuck.
Chapter 297: Quetzalcoatl
People fell from the sky like meteorites, fire fell from the sky, the blonde sister’s long golden hair flew up in the air with the wind, her orange coat also made bursts of sounds, and the friction between her slightly high-heeled combat boots and the air seemed to burst out extremely high heat, it looked like flames were entangled around the blonde sister.
Then the blonde sister kicked the leopard monster directly, and flames and explosions followed. The leopard monster flew out directly. The blonde sister was very skillful and seemed to follow her body’s instinct. She grabbed the leopard man beside her, and then threw him over her shoulder, sending him flying.
“Ah~ Hey—!”
The blonde sister looked at the shadow and the dust that was kicked up, then looked around and didn’t see any trace of the leopard man, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, “Did you just throw something out very skillfully?”
The leopard man who had eaten a mouthful of ashes in the distance poked his head out from the dust. The big sister decorations on his body had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a one-piece tiger pajamas. In his hand, he held a huge tiger claw lollipop-like weapon. The leopard man looked at the blonde big sister standing on the altar, and couldn’t help but raise his hand with a face full of blame.
“What are you doing! Kukul–!! The leopard is here to help you, not to be bullied by you, meow–!”
The blonde elder sister waved her hands in embarrassment, looking at the leopard man and the monster made of faith and chaotic star god power falling not far away, and narrowed her eyes slightly, “I’m sorry, I did it subconsciously because I’m too skilled~ But it’s a good opportunity for you to take it away. If you don’t kill it but hold it back, there shouldn’t be any problem~”
The leopard mixed with the power of stars has the breath of ancient beliefs in its body. Since it cannot be killed, it will be dragged down. When he breaks the neck of the so-called Super Star God, those ancient beliefs will naturally return to where they should return.
What’s more, this bastard is actually plundering her faith!
Naturally, she needs to settle this account herself!
The blonde elder sister looked up at the shadow in the sky, and her aura began to change gradually. Modern clothes were replaced by ancient clothes, and a huge crown of green feathers and gold appeared on her head. In her hand, an ancient Aztec weapon made of gold and obsidian appeared.
Even with the surge of magic power, the obsidian embedded in the edge of the golden blade as a sawtooth can still rotate like a chainsaw. Now of course, it is the anger in the heart of the big sister. This weapon has begun to make loud noises one after another. At the same time, the expression on the big sister’s face has become extremely evil and facial expression in an instant.
“Alright… the real boss is here, are you still holding on to those beliefs? You are really greedy. Let me, your elder sister, show you what angry wrestling is all about!”
The Super Star God in the sky opened his mouth wide, signaling that the sacrifice on the altar should proceed immediately. After seeing this, the blonde elder sister threw the weapon in her hand directly. The weapon made of gold and obsidian smashed heavily on the altar and directly pierced the chest of the high priest holding the obsidian dagger.
Seeing the panicked looks on the other priests’ faces, the blonde sister tidied her hair and then walked towards the highest point step by step. At the same time, the huge pterosaur was circling in the air, making loud shouts one after another.
“I am a snake, a winged dragon! I am the sun, and I am the cycle of life! I am the feathered serpent that hovers above the sky, and I am the [Winged God]!”
With the release of the true name of the treasure, the dark clouds that originally covered the sky began to change their owners. The thunder and lightning storms that were attracted here by the power of the gods were now controlled by the blonde goddess. Wind, rain, and thunder were all her followers and her power. Gradually, light rain began to fall from the sky, and thunder and lightning began to roar. All this showed that the gods had descended here.
The blonde elder sister has now walked to the highest point of the altar. “Let me introduce myself. I am the goddess Quetzalcoatl who has descended here. Perhaps you are more familiar with my other name, Kukulkan. However, I am quite dissatisfied with the way the Mayans worship me.”
One of the supreme beings in the Aztec mythology of Central and South America. She seems free and unrestrained, but is actually a kind and intellectual goddess. She hates living sacrifices and loves humans deeply. She is the god of life and harvest, the god of culture, the god of wind and rain, and there was a period of time when there was a legend that she was in charge of the sun.
The name Quetzalcoatl means “feathered serpent” and “winged serpent”. He is revered as a benign god who denies the ritual of human sacrifice. He is regarded as the same being as the benign god Tlawiscal-Pantecuatli, who is the incarnation of the morning star, and the Mayan Kukulkan. He has many kind legends, but he also has the side of a fierce god of war.
Although Quetzalcoatl was a good god who led people to prosperity, he eventually lost to the god Tezcatlipoca and disappeared from the Aztecs, leaving behind a prophecy that he would return one day.
But sadly, the Aztec people believed that the Spanish conquistadors who later visited were “the returning Quetzalcoatl and his army,” and ultimately met their destruction.
