Zhou Yi stood on the spot calmly. He didn't want to run, nor did he want to resist.
When the old man in the village saw Zhou Yi Zhi, he was stunned for a moment before his expression returned to normal.
He waved his hand as if he didn't know Zhou Yi, then turned around and left.
Then, Zhou Yi was escorted all the way into the depths of the village. About ten minutes later, Zhou Yi was escorted into a cave.
The area of the cave was very big, and it extended downwards. After walking for more than ten steps, Zhou Yi saw that the depths of the cave had been transformed into a cell.
His captor opened the cell door without a word and pushed him in.
Zhou Yi staggered and couldn't stand properly. When he was supported, the sound of chains could be heard behind him.
"Kid, from the looks of your clothes, you aren't someone from here, right? Where did you come from?"
At this moment, Zhou Yi finally saw that there were a lot of people sitting in the dark corner of the cell.
"You are..." Judging from their clothes, they should be the people from this village, because most of them appeared to be wrapped in fur.
"Are you really not from here?"
Everyone ignored Zhou Yi's words and continued to ponder over the previous issue.
"Yes, I was brought here by him, and not from the stronghold!" Zhou's answer was ambiguous, and he was right, but what he said was also wrong.
But before they could say anything, Zhou Yi quickly asked: "Why are you locked up here? Aren't you two together? "
One of the older ones forced a smile and replied, "We were locked up here because we are about to be used as sacrifices!"
"What?" "Us?" Zhou Yi couldn't accept it at the moment.
The leader seemed to be rather polite to him before, knowing that he was a foreigner. He even had the thought that he could take them out.
Why did he have to sacrifice himself to that terrifying Strange Beast after not seeing her for so long?
Thinking about that, Zhou Yi immediately asked: "Didn't they capture some Strange Beast s to sacrifice regularly? Why did you hire people? "
Hearing this, the elder sighed and the people around him shook their heads.
At first, it was also because we saw the red light being shot out by the Strange Beast that we wanted to come over and check it out. However, we did not expect them to actually be so ruthless as to use poison, and in the end, we were caught.
The old man explained.
"Then other than that red light, what else did you see?" At this moment, Zhou Yi's eyes lit up slightly. He didn't expect that he could find out more about this statue.
However, when the words left his mouth, the surrounding people suddenly quietened down.
Zhou Yi also shut his mouth obediently.
Because he knew it would take time, and they needed time to think it through.
However, the more Zhou Yi saw their cautious look, he felt that there was a chance. He didn't go to the prison for nothing this time.
A long while later, it was still the same old man. He lightly coughed a few times, then his gaze swept across the cell before speaking.
"The situation was like this. After we snuck in that day, we saw a weak red light faintly emitting from the sculpture. The light gathered together and eventually formed a blurry pattern."
After the old man's voice sounded out, a couple of responses sounded out from the surroundings.
A man about Zhou Yi's age also nodded: "That light beam gathered and dispersed quickly. We were only able to vaguely see it. Moreover, that light beam seemed to be bound by something, but we didn't have enough strength to struggle it off!"2
As his voice faded, the old man continued, "In fact, although that thing just took a glance, it's understandable. However, that thing previously only existed in legends, it seems to have disappeared for over ten thousand years!"
"And it was also because of that red light. Otherwise, we would have been eaten by that monster even after spending so much effort to get here!"
Someone in the corner sighed.
When everyone heard this, their mood also became gloomy.
"Wait!" Only now did Zhou Yi understand one thing, "Are you saying that their stronghold is not the only one here?"
"Yes, no!" The old man replied.
"Actually, we used to be in the same village, but for some reason, when the people in the village started arguing, we separated. Besides, we lived on the other side of the Fourth Ring Valley, far away from them!" The young man from before explained to Zhou Yi.
"What's the use of a stronghold? He wouldn't let us get away with it just because we were once the same leaders.!" From time to time, there would be a few opposing opinions from the corner of the cell.
Zhou Yi asked the question that he was most concerned about, "What exactly is under that stone statue?"
When this question was asked, the cell went silent for a few seconds, then the old man spoke again, "This thing has disappeared for tens of thousands of years. Even if you hear about it, you can only treat it as a legend."
Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Yi remembered something.
Several tens of thousands of years ago, a Divine Beast that was born from the gathering of heaven and earth Spiritual Force suddenly descended into the world.
Of course, no one could clearly describe the process.
After that, the Heavenly Dao pardoned it as a Auspicious Beast.
However, it was said that it happened tens of thousands of years ago, so there was no way to determine whether it was real or fake.
So now that everyone saw the apparition of this thing, they were somewhat uncertain.
Zhou Yi also fell into deep thought.
If that was the case, then this thing could be considered a Auspicious Beast, but why was he sealed here?
"We were only guessing, because that shadow only flashed by once. We are not too sure whether it is real or not. No one has ever seen it before!"
The old man's words sounded out once again, while Zhou Yi also nodded his head inconspicuously.
The old man stared at Zhou Yi for a long time. He didn't know where this weird-looking dressed young man came from, but he always gave people a feeling of peace of mind.
That's right, it was a feeling.
Because of this feeling, he told her everything he knew.
Zhou Yi had been immersed in his own thoughts at this moment, so he didn't know what was going on inside the old man's heart.
Seeing Zhou Yi lost in thought, the old man also tactfully shut his mouth. Not only that, he even stood up and pushed the people beside him towards the inside of the cell. Instantly, the space around Zhou Yi's body became empty.
Zhou Yi was still thinking about the question about whether the Auspicious Beast was real or fake, but he didn't know that when he came back to his senses, the people around him had all disappeared.
He turned around abruptly and saw that they had already retreated several meters away. He could not help but smile. After which, he waved his hand and asked: "Do you all wish to leave?"
When the old man heard this, he immediately became spirited. He thought, his eyes were right. This young man is indeed going to bring everyone to escape …
