1080: C1080 Compromise

C1080 Compromise

On the western side of the village, there was a flat piece of land. There was a low wooden platform slightly above the ground.

In the center of the wooden platform, there was a two meter square wooden table.

There was something on the table, covered with a white cloth.

When Zhou Yi arrived, he saw the whole village kneeling at the foot of the platform. At the table on the platform, there stood a person.

That person was none other than Zhao.

However, Zhao had changed into a skeleton like appearance.

The Patriarch, who was kneeling at the bottom of the stage, said with a bitter face, "Zhao, you can let everyone go by myself, but you can let them all go!"

The person on the stage acted as if he didn't hear anything, continuing to do the work he was doing in an orderly manner.

He took out three incense sticks from the incense box and lit it up before inserting it into the incense burner.

"Everyone is innocent. Your son can't be trusted when he's missing. You should go find the person who killed him!" The chief, his hands tied behind his back, shouted at Zhao, who was on the stage.

Zhao's hands did not stop moving. After he inserted the incense into the incense burner, he took out a few more items. Zhou Yi saw that one of the paper talismans was drawn with a Soul Luring Array.

"Zhao, Zhao, listen to me. Wake up, wake up …" The Patriarch kept on shouting, but Zhao was always like that. He did not care what the other party said or did.

At this moment, Zhou Yi's palm slightly moved and a stream of energy shot out. After a slight sound, the chief's rope was untied.

Just as the Patriarch was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out beside his ear, "Don't move."

The Patriarch's movements froze.

His gaze slowly swept the surroundings, but he did not see anyone.

However, he knew that the other person must have come to save them, so he did not dare to move recklessly.

Zhou Yi glanced at the skeleton that was preparing to set up the formation. He turned around and said to the chief, "Don't move recklessly!"

With that, the clan head only saw a white light flash past him, and then the skeleton on the platform stopped moving.

At the same time, Ju Zhong ran over with the kid.

"Daddy! Mommy!" The child cried out and rushed into the crowd.

Zhou Yi was about to open his mouth to stop the skeleton, but the skeleton suddenly moved. Zhou Yi wanted to stop the skeleton, but the skeleton suddenly moved.

Zhou Yi hurriedly tried to grab it, but it was too late. The skeleton was already pinching the child in his hand.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk …" He turned his head with a crunch, then looked towards Zhou Yi's direction, "I originally wanted to use the cultivation of the entire village to set up my formation, but it seems like you alone will do. Obediently go inside the formation!"

"Little Treasure!" A heart-wrenching sound rang out from the crowd.

When the skeleton heard this, it laughed strangely again. Then, it said, "What? Your son, do you know how heartbreaking it is? What about my son? Ah? What about my son? "

The moment he said that, the people below the stage stopped moving.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but frown. Listening to him yell like that, Zhou Yi felt that there must be some secret behind it.

However, this didn't seem to be a good opportunity for him to uncover more secrets.

When the skeleton heard the woman's crying, it said as if it was talking to itself, "At that time, my son's mother begged you so much, what did you say? Ah? Haha, since he was chosen, then let him go. That's right, he is not your son.

"Is he happy that he's been taken away and there's no news of him? Are you all safe? Haha, you are wrong, I want to use all of your lives to save my son's, and I want all of you to repay me with your lives! "1

The coarse voice of the skeleton reverberated throughout the entire plaza for a long time, but no one uttered a sound.

The woman's heart-wrenching cry turned into suppressed sobs.

No one dared to stand up and speak up for the woman. Even the clan leader, who had been begging the skeleton, was silent.

After a short period of silence, the old chief said, "I was the main reason for the decision we made back then. If you want to take revenge, then use my life to save your son."

"Tsk tsk, how could that be possible? How could a dying person like you compare to my son? Besides, didn't the entire village agree to this as well?" It's only fair that I want all of you to come at the same time. "

The skeleton muttered to itself.

"Zhao, the decision is made by us seniors. Children are innocent. Let them go!" A villager whispered from below.

"Child, isn't my son a child? "No matter how old he is, he's still a child in my eyes, and you still have the nerve to say that?" The skeleton seemed to have been provoked. It grabbed the child's hand and exerted force. A bloody hole appeared in the child's arm.

The child was in pain. He wailed, "Mom, Mom, I want Mom!"

When the skeleton heard the cries of the child, it seemed to be very happy. It held the child up in the air and watched as blood dripped from his arm. The skeleton then started laughing again.

"Didn't you want me to replace these people? Let go of that child! " A cold voice sounded.

"Sigh, Zhou, you …"

"Rest assured, I will definitely take his life as well. However, before that happens, I will also make them obtain their own retribution." The skeleton on the stage snorted.

Hearing his words, Zhou Yi said lightly: "Since you don't want me to exchange for them, then I will leave!" With that, Zhou Yi turned around and walked back.

"You can't leave!" The skeleton snorted. Then, it waved its hand towards Zhou Yi. One of its skeletal fingers instantly left the body and shot towards Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi looked back and caught the finger.

Seeing his ability, Zhou Yi squinted his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the skeletons that surrounded the capital all knew this ability.

He had been wondering why a normal person would turn into a skeleton. It seemed like the mastermind was someone else.

The skeleton saw Zhou Yi grabbing onto his finger, so it didn't mind. He continued to speak, "Don't you want to save these people? If you can revive my son, I'll let them go! "

The skeleton used his pitch black eye sockets to stare at Zhou Yi and said word by word.

Zhou Yi raised his head and looked at the corpse under the white cloth. Through his perspective, he saw that the corpse had been dead for a long time, and even its flesh was a little festering.

Zhou Yi looked at the child who was trembling in fear and sighed: "Fine! You let that child go first. "
