Feng Qiqi left the inner city and climbed up the mountain road.

The flames began to spread to the back mountain, and the woods below had begun to burn.

As he walked along, he saw people not far away.

Back Mountain is a magical mountaintop. Above it is a volcanic crater, but below it is a dense forest. The temperature around the crater is not hot, and people can stand around it.

At this time, the sister wearing a sacrificial crown was standing among a group of adults, near the crater.

The adults looked at her as if they were prey.

Feng Qiqi looked at this scene with some sadness.

…The reason why humans are superior to other animals lies in their rationality…

When an antelope is chased by a lion, it will subconsciously run towards the group, causing harm to its companions. However, human rationality allows humans to defy instinct and nature. It gives humans the courage to wait for death where they are, or even run in the opposite direction.

People who are afraid of death can die for their beliefs. People who desire to live can die for their spiritual independence.

This is the greatness of human beings.

At this time, in Feng Qiqi's opinion, the sister who wore the sacrificial crown and did not run away was more humane than these beast-like elders.

He gripped the black knife tightly and immediately wanted to rush forward——

"——What are you going to do?"

Suddenly, a male voice came from behind him.

He looked over blankly and saw a young man with black hair who had just climbed up the mountain and looked at him.

"Is that you?" Feng Qiqi recognized Su Ming'an: "I'm going to save Sissy."

"Don't go." Su Mingan said.

"You want me to give up Sissi and let me go?"

"Otherwise, can I keep you for dinner?" Su Mingan said.

After hearing this, Feng Qiqi smiled instead of being angry: "I thought you were a sensible adult, but it turns out you are no different from those elders!"

"..." Su Mingan looked at him: "You'd better leave now. Because your sister won't die, you are the one who is in danger."

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten that talent transformation array?" Su Mingan said.

Feng Qiqi's expression was slightly stagnant.

He knew that before each succession ceremony, the person chosen to be thrown into the lava would be the most talented child in the clan.

Lord Baishen gave people instruments to detect talents, allowing them to accurately select the beings with the best talents.

In this session, the most talented people are him and his sister. Their talents are equally matched, so they have to choose one of them to throw into the lava.

But now, after trying the Talented Bloodline Awakening Array, Feng Qiqi's talent has become better than that of Sissi, and he has become the most talented person in the clan.

Feng Qiqi stood there and suddenly realized this.

...The person who will be pushed into the magma is no longer Sissi.

But him.

Not far away, the elders' preparations have entered the final steps.

The great elder raised the talent detection instrument, which glowed like a radar. Its modern style seemed a bit out of place in the dome.

A ray of light shone on the astonished Feng Qiqi's body. He was no longer Sissi beside the crater.

The instrument's pointer pointed in his direction.

The great elder saw Feng Qiqi hiding in the woods at a glance. Under the detection radar, Feng Qiqi had nowhere to hide.

"——It's Feng Qiqi! There he is!" he shouted loudly.

"What's going on? How come the talent has changed? Why did Feng Qiqi's talent suddenly surpass that of Sissi?" Someone was surprised.

"Don't worry so much, let's change the candidate first! Act quickly, the fire is almost coming!"

They let go of Sissi and rushed towards Feng Qiqi.

Feng Qiqi turned around and ran away.

The reason why he came was because he wanted to replace Sissi, but now Sissi was no longer a candidate, she was completely safe, and he no longer had to keep Lai.

The flames gradually spread from the bottom of the mountain and approached the top of the mountain. The fire burned extremely fiercely and quickly. During the natural disaster period, it was given a very terrifying bonus and spread like an overwhelming mountain.

He couldn't outrun the five elders at all.

Fifth Elder Michael just flashed the light in his hand, and Feng Qiqi's steps slowed down. The blue light pulled his steps, making him unable to even rush through the flames.

"Don't run! Do you want to see the destruction of the first tribe? Think of those tribesmen in the sea of ​​fire!" The great elder said in a shocked voice: "You are the son of the young patriarch, do you want your tribe to be destroyed?"

Feng Qiqi gritted his teeth.

"——The Baishen will not care about us at all! I set the fire and it has nothing to do with the Baishen!" He shouted: "The Baishen has never appeared! You have been deceived. You are researchers from the outside world.

I lied to you!"

He got it right and guessed the truth. But the elders didn't believe it at all.

The great elder stretched out his hand, and a dazzling light rose from his body. A big golden hand formed out of thin air and caught Feng Qiqi, who was unable to move.

At this critical moment, Su Mingan stretched out his hand.

"boom--!"

Under people's gaze, the big hand with glittering golden light was suddenly shattered by an invisible wave, turning into fragments of light and gradually disappearing.

He blocked the Great Elder's attack.

"Okay, that's it." Su Mingan said.

He knew that the ritual of worshiping gods was indeed fake.

At the current point of time, Baishen has not yet been formed by people's beliefs, and He indeed does not exist yet.

So far, all the so-called oracles, divine sacrifices, myths and legends are just forged by outsiders.

Not to mention the talent detector in the hands of the great elder, which is obviously a modern technology.

The ritual of divine sacrifice is currently just a method used by outsiders to weaken the power of Qiongdi and remove the strongest talents. In the face of this fire, whether Feng Qiqi dies or Sissi dies, it will have no effect at all.

Ignorant beliefs make these people lose their humanity, transform into beasts, ignore reason, and do extremely cruel things. It is instilled with ideas in a designed way and makes this idea deeply ingrained, regardless of whether it is

A method that sounds absolutely ridiculous.

It is now vividly displayed before our eyes.

Even in the original world, there were people who, for the sake of superstition, would kill living people to match ghost marriages, or drown babies for a good omen. These things would even develop into an industrial chain, allowing people to benefit from it.

For some kind of superstition, the method of turning a living person into a dead person is extremely despicable.

"——What nonsense are you talking about! Master Baishen, Master Baishen——" The great elder's beard trembled with anger.

"The gods don't exist yet." Su Mingan interrupted him lightly: "You have just been entertaining yourselves for hundreds of years."

He raised his hand and activated gravity suppression.

"—Bang! Bang! Bang!"

An extremely strong gravity pressed down on the people. Except for the most powerful elder, the other four elders were suddenly pressed to the ground, and their knees were bleeding.

Since there was still hot volcanic ash on the ground, there was a smell of burning barbecue.

Su Mingan took out the amber knife and waved it hard——

This time, he activated Amber's active skill and injected almost all of his mana.

…

[Active skill (condensation): The next attack will have a "space fragmentation" effect, causing additional slashing damage to the enemy. 】

…

"boom--!"

In front of people's shocked eyes, violent shaking broke out.

Volcanic ash and thick fog at night obscured people's sight, and crack-like bloodstains began to appear on their bodies.

"Pah, pah, pah—"

A strong explosion sounded, buzzing like exploding beans.

Branches fell to the ground like snowflakes, and even the surrounding trees began to topple. Before the elders could get up, their limbs were pulled by a violent force, as if countless hands were tearing apart their muscles and skin.

Blood flowed out from the twisted muscles and dyed their clothes red. They fell to the ground before they could even raise their hands.

The great elder shouted loudly and galloped away like the wind, only to find that the four elders on the ground had fallen into coma.

Su Ming'an picked up Feng Qiqi and Qian Qian, turned around and ran away.

The great elder will definitely save the four elders on the ground as soon as possible. This is their chance to escape.
