Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 15 Am I going to be sacrificed too?

"Fuck that bastard!"

In the dimly lit tent, Liu Musen spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed under his breath.

He is the man who was just injured by Bai Yan.

However, his words came to an abrupt halt the next second, because he saw a figure draped in a long robe suddenly appear in his tent.

The other person's true face was hidden under the hood. Under the dim light, the swirling pattern on the hood seemed to come alive, drawing his gaze in.

Although the other party did not make any dangerous moves, Liu Musen's intuition told him that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with!

……

Liu Musen is forty years old this year and has witnessed three generations of leaders change in the White Stone settlement. He is definitely a veteran among the survivors of the settlement.

The fact that he could survive in the wasteland for so long shows his experience, but who could have guessed that today, this veteran would be beaten up by a fifteen-year-old newbie!

"You parentless bastard! How dare you hit me!"

"It's just that I was a little lucky!"

Liu Musen never expected that the Chosen One would be so unreasonable! He had only chirped a few words as usual, and he was beaten like a dead dog.

But words can be dangerous, and it's too late to say anything now. Everyone else is looking at him with schadenfreude, and Chen Quan, the leader of the settlement, won't risk offending Harkley to treat him.

It's estimated that he will die from internal injuries in a few days. Even if he survives by sheer luck, he won't be able to travel all the way to Strange Stone City with the others. After everyone in the settlement leaves, he will still inevitably die.

"It's all because of that mute guy!"

Evil thoughts suddenly popped into Liu Musen's mind.

kill him!

If you won't let me live, then I'll let you die!

Bai Yan does have the potential to become a chosen one, but that's all he has – potential!

Right now, he's still just a helpless boy; if you kill him...

Liu Musen's hand unconsciously reached for the dagger under the bed.

"Hello there."

The sudden appearance of the mysterious figure startled him, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

"Who...who are you?!"

The other party didn't answer his question, but a female voice came from under the hood: "Would you be interested in learning about our God of Nothingness and Chaos?"

"god?"

Liu Musen doesn't believe in God. If God really exists, how could someone as capable as him not be God's chosen one?

However, he couldn't bring himself to deny what the other party said; today's painful lesson had already taught him a valuable lesson.

Sure enough, the next second the mysterious woman in the long robe made a move that revealed her identity; she was also a chosen one!

During his decades of scavenging, Liu Musen had accidentally wandered into many unusual areas, so he naturally recognized this sense of oppression—it was the aura of divine power.

He quickly put on a smile: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Wang Yu said calmly, "Offering sacrifices will bring rewards."

Upon hearing this, Liu Musen's face filled with terror: "Am I...am I going to be sacrificed too?"

It's no wonder he reacted so strongly; the term "sacrifice in the wasteland" is almost synonymous with evil gods, or at the very least, with those cultists who can only be described as madmen.

The most common sacrificial offerings for cultists are their wasteland dwellers. Compared to precious supernatural materials, survivors can actually grow from those nooks and crannies, making them the cheapest material in the wasteland. Cultists who have used them all say they are good.

Liu Musen's breathing became increasingly rapid. Wang Yu was speechless at the sight of him looking like he was about to faint from fear. He could only explain, "The God of Nothingness and Chaos is not the false god worshipped by the Blood Moon Church. He is merciful and great. He does not need your lives. He only loves unusual items and does not demand that the offerings be precious. As long as they are rare and special enough, you can receive generous rewards."

Jie Sheng only needs novel sample materials. That being said, truly unique materials are often also precious and extraordinary materials.

But by simply rephrasing it, you can give others a glimmer of hope: what if? What if they really do get incredibly lucky?

For example, Liu Musen believed it.

Upon hearing that sacrificing oneself would not only not cost one's life but would also bring rewards, a glimmer of hope flashed in Liu Musen's eyes.

"Are you really going to kill me?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, you might just get the job."

Liu Musen gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"Okay! I'm willing to dedicate my faith; from this day forward, I will be your faithful follower!"

Anyway, he has nothing left to lose.

……

Liu Musen gave away most of his wealth. Apart from basic survival supplies, he gave everything else to Wang Yu. It has to be said that his decades-long scavenging collection contained many strange and unknown items, piled up like a garbage dump. He dared not sell them to anyone, fearing that someone would kill him and steal his treasure.

At the moment he made his decision, he knew he could no longer stay in the White Stone settlement. Rather than abandoning it, he decided to offer it as a sacrifice.

Wang Yu accepted everything that came his way and put it all into the black box.

However, in Liu Musen's eyes, what he saw was Wang Yu waving his hand and everything disappearing into thin air, a truly miraculous feat that made him lower his head involuntarily.

It has to be said that Liu Musen is indeed a veteran scavenger with a sharp eye. What seemed like a pile of trash actually contained a few high-value items, allowing him to put together a Tier 3 reward.

"The gods have witnessed your piety."

Wang Yu lifted the black box, gesturing for the other person to place their hand on it.

Because of the robe in the way, Liu Musen could only see that it was the shape of a box.

"The devout will receive blessings."

hum~

Three orbs of light appeared in the black box: one blue and two green, representing one third-order and two second-order.

When Wang Yu touched the ball of light, the corresponding information appeared in his mind.

The blue ball of light is a ball of extremely destructive 'Fire' divine power. This divine power is very stable. If an ordinary person touches it, their soul will be transformed, and they will possess extraordinary talents of the 'Fire' divine system... provided that you can survive until the transformation is over.

In short, this is a real miracle!

Aside from the God of Fire himself, only the Black Box could create such an illogical miracle.

The other two green orbs of light are a divine relic and a second-tier divine miracle, respectively.

The divine relic is a gun. No matter what you fill it with, it can condense into corresponding bullets. Its attack power is capped at Tier 2.

The miracle was a healing miracle that could easily heal his injuries.

These rewards reveal that Liu Musen's wish was very simple: a yearning for power!

Wang Yu thought for a moment and only took out two green orbs of light, and naturally, Liu Musen did not notice anything unusual during this process.

She came here in the middle of the night to help Liu Musen fulfill his wish instead of resting, so isn't it normal for her to pay a small fee? That's why she covered the black box with her robe.

Moreover, if Wang Yu gave the blue light orb to Liu Musen, and he immediately awakened as a Chosen One, wouldn't that clearly indicate there's something wrong?

He couldn't control that power.
