After breaking away from the siege of those women, Jiang Heng was slightly relieved.
"Why are there all women here?" Jiang Heng couldn't help being curious.
"What's wrong with the woman?" Aya gave Jiang Heng a dissatisfied look.
"It's not what the girl thinks, it's just... just a little strange."
"It's nothing surprising. There are two cities in the Magic Rock Cave, one for men and one for women." Aya said.
"how so?"
"It's not because the two sides fought for resources... and finally fought. Later, everyone simply parted ways and did not interfere with each other."
"Really?" Jiang Heng frowned slightly, he faintly felt that this explanation was too far-fetched, there must be something hidden in it that he didn't know.
The two walked along the way, passing through exquisite houses.
Jiang Heng couldn't help but be amazed, this... is this really the magic cave?
"Hurry up, why are you so slow?" Aya walked in front and frowned as she saw Jiang Heng following far behind.
"No, I've been following you." Jiang Heng replied.
But Jiang Heng didn't notice that after walking for so long, the surrounding buildings didn't change at all, he seemed to be standing still.
"What... hey! You all let go!" Aya shouted a little angrily.
"Huh? Are you talking about me?"
"It's not you, it's them." Aya said.
"They?" Jiang Heng couldn't help being curious, it's only him and the woman in front of him here? There is no one at all.
"They are all naughty guys, well, come with me." Aya said, and continued to move forward.
Jiang Heng didn't notice that a black silk thread slowly disappeared above his ankle.
"Don't mind, the sisters here haven't seen a stranger for a long time, especially a newcomer." Aya explained.
Jiang Heng nodded, and soon, Aya brought Jiang Heng to the most magnificent building in the city.
"Sister Xiaoyao, I brought him back." Aya shouted towards the door.
"Come in." A sweet voice came from inside.
Although he hadn't seen anyone, just listening to the voice gave people a refreshing feeling. That kind of spring breeze-like feeling made Jiang Heng full of curiosity about the people inside.
This magnificent building is empty, and the surroundings of the main hall emit a gloomy light.
On both sides of the main hall, there are rows of seats. This arrangement looks a bit strange.
The passage through the main hall, the innermost one, is a tall statue of a god.
The giant statue was a hundred meters high, holding a hideous long knife in its hand, a pair of huge eyes glaring down, and the big knife in his hand seemed to be able to chop down at any time.
On both sides of the statue, there are several small stone statues carved, both male and female, with different expressions.
But one of the stone statues caught Jiang Heng's attention.
The stone statue is held in the arms of a female stone statue.
The carved stone statue is a terrifying monster with a huge head, an arthropod-like body, two wings on its back, and sharp claws on its belly.
The monster's fangs were sharp, and it seemed to be screaming up to the sky, with a ferocious expression, as if it could break through the shackles of the god statue at any time and come back to life.
Jiang Heng looked at the stone statue and frowned slightly. Why is this stone statue so familiar...Suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind.
In the boundless sea of blood, strange creatures writhed their huge bodies. They... seemed to look very similar to this stone statue.
"That's the evil owl. He was subdued by the gods and fought in all directions for the gods. Later, a drop of his blood fell here, and the monster you saw was born." A sweet voice sounded slowly behind Jiang Heng.
A woman wrapped in a large white robe appeared behind Jiang Heng at some point.
Her bright eyes were like stars, and her beautiful face made Jiang Heng slightly stunned for a moment.
"I am the priest of this temple." The woman named Xiaoyao glanced at Jiang Heng.
"what is your name?"
"Xiao Xuance!" Jiang Heng continued.
"Xiao Xuance?" Xiao Yao read softly, "This name doesn't seem like a long-lived person."
Jiang Heng's heart couldn't help beating. Did she... She already knew that Xiao Xuance was dead?
The corner of Xiaoyao's mouth curled up into a sweet arc, and a pair of bright eyes looked straight at Jiang Heng, "As a man, it's not right for you to stay here all the time. I should have sent you to another city. But for the sake of you being a newcomer, let you stay here for a few days first."
"What about the conditions?" Jiang Heng keenly sensed the meaning of Xiao Yao's words.
"Conditions?" Xiao Yao's eyes became brighter.
"I don't believe that pies will fall from the sky." Jiang Heng said truthfully.
"Well, the condition is to help us resist the attacks of those weird monsters living in the magic lake during the grand ceremony. Okay, let's go down." Xiao Yao waved Jiang Heng out after finishing speaking.
Magic Lake? It should be the lake where he fell, and the monsters may be those monsters that keep churning in the lake to lure him.
Jiang Heng couldn't help thinking of the deep scratches on the city wall.
As Jiang Heng walked out of the temple, the heavy stone door slowly closed, and Xiao Yao, who was wrapped in a white robe, walked up to the statue and knelt down slowly.
There was incomparable piety in her eyes, and she muttered softly in her mouth.
The next moment, a faint gray light slowly lit up from the statue.
But when Xiaoyao saw the gray light, a look of shock appeared in her eyes.
"He... is he really suitable? His bloodline has even inspired the gods?" Xiao Yao's voice trembled a little.
In a trance, the evil owl in the arms of the female idol seemed to let out a shrill scream, which made Xiao Yao's expression even more shocked.
"Come on, come on!" Xiao Yao shouted loudly.
The next moment, two figures also wearing white robes appeared behind Xiaoyao.
"Command, the sacrificial ceremony will begin tonight!"
"Yes!" The two figures responded, and the next moment they slowly disappeared into the temple.
