Chapter 86 3.9 Living Sacrifice

Emma attached great importance to this rare scientific expedition experience. In the girl's mind, this is a precious journey that can't be obtained even if you have money. (After all, there are very few lords like Loki who have nothing to do and wander around the Arctic Circle)

In this era when 99% of humans have never left their hometowns, she doesn't think she will have another opportunity to enter the Arctic Circle in her lifetime.

Therefore, she has hardly ever slept.

If Aunt Fafner hadn't stuffed food into her mouth a few times, Loki was even worried that she would faint due to hypoglycemia.

Time passed slowly in the aimless S-shaped bend.

20 days later, when the fresh water on the ship was about to be consumed by nearly half, when Loki first began to think about whether to return, the observer on the main mast suddenly woke up the alarm bell.

**

At this time, night had fallen. Holding the oil lamp high and walking out of the captain's room, Loki saw a large number of crew members gathered on the left side of the three-masted ship. The crew's eyes were focused on a black reef. From a distance, there was a cross standing in the middle of the reef.

If you squint your eyes and look carefully, you can see a bloody corpse hanging upside down on the cross!

The crew was silent. The ship was still a little far away from the reef. The only Saint Lord of the "Holy Light Path" that Loki brought with him this time could not reach such a long distance because of his sequence level.

After thinking it over, Loki decided to go alone. But how could the explorer Emma miss such a rare experience. After she pulled out the dagger she carried with her and almost threatened her life, Loki had no choice but to agree to the request of this living Buddha.

After all, that thing didn't look like a living thing at all.

After putting down a thin wooden boat on the left side of the three-masted ship, the two finally boarded the reef after paddling nearly a hundred meters on the cold sea.

"Let me go first, at least wait until I'm sure that thing is not alive, then you go. That should be fine, right?"

Emma nodded helplessly.

Loki held up the hurricane lantern and walked forward cautiously. As a traverser who had been baptized by various zombie movies, he was much more alert to corpses than the Tu people in this plane. After moving forward 20 meters, he finally stood in front of the cross. Looking closer, he found that the person tied to the cross was a living person whose whole body was almost frozen!

He was naked, but there were no obvious wounds on his body. This man was extremely thin, and it was not clear whether it was due to his own thinness or the drying after death. His body was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, and Loki reached out to wipe it off, revealing the skin under the snowflakes.

The skin was actually dark brown!

(If my memory is correct, how come this person looks so similar to the Indians from the American continent in my memory?!)

Wipe off the frost and snowflakes covering his body, and Loki finds that this person's body temperature is abnormally cold. When more skin is exposed, he sees that his skin is painted with many patterns composed of black, white and red colors, and his ears and lips are hung with black earrings and lip studs made of unknown metal.

That's right, according to the description of Mayan and Aztec civilizations in the documentary, Americans of this era should look like this.

But the American continent is separated from this place by a vast Atlantic Ocean! How did these strange-looking Indians get transported to this uninhabited Norwegian Sea? ?

Emma Waldorf couldn't help but follow with excitement. However, when she saw the face covered with chalk, she immediately lost her voice and said three words

"Living sacrifice?!"

"What is a living sacrifice?" Loki turned around and asked.

Emma walked to Loki's side and hurriedly pulled him away from the South American native.

"This is a living sacrifice!"

"Every one of them is alive!" Emma said in a deep voice, "According to the records of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Constantinople, there is a strange civilization in the distant New World. All people in this civilization are born as God's Chosen."

"All of these people start from sequence nine after they are born. And this sequence nine is called a living sacrifice!"

In this plane, the crazy monks of the Holy Bishop had already discovered the American continent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in order to preach. And the records of human civilization about the American continent in the previous life began when Columbus discovered the New World in 1492.

How did the native Americans live in the 7th century AD? Archaeologists can only rely on the relics and fragments dug out from underground archaeology to trigger associations. However, in this life, an American native is now placed in front of him.

"You said this thing is alive?"

Loki was deeply skeptical of this sentence. According to Xiao Lu's notes in his notebook, he did mention that they would leave coordinates along the way after entering the Great Cold Sea (also known as the Norwegian Sea).

If the living person nailed to the cross is the coordinates they left behind, he has been hanging on this cross for nearly 50 years without food or water. Even if he is a god, I am afraid he will starve to death.

"Living sacrifices" are a species completely different from normal humans." Emma said seriously, not daring to be careless at all, "They have a variety of uses. In addition to being sacrificed to the god "Quetzalcoatl" believed by the Mayans, it is said that living sacrifices are also very useful in daily life."

"According to the records of the Royal Academy of Sciences, living sacrifices are between animals and plants. They only need very little water and sunlight to survive. High-sequence living sacrifices can even go without food or water, endure the scorching heat and severe cold, and work in places that normal humans cannot endure at all."

"There is also a saying that these things can be used as nutrients for gods. The gods of the old days especially like to eat some high-sequence living sacrifices."

Emma's voice is low, but Loki actually felt a chill in his ears. He bravely raised the axe. He walked forward and gently opened the eyelids of the "living sacrifice", and brought the hurricane lantern closer to observe.

Under the eyelids, there is a pale eyeball. However, just one second later, a pale golden vertical pupil like a cat rolled out from the other side of the eyeball!

The living sacrifice slowly opened his eyes

The next second, its mouth opened into a shape that was almost incompatible with the head proportions, and then the voice vibrated, and a low roar came from the depths of the dry throat!

Mortals cannot produce such a strong penetrating sub-sound by using the vibration of the Adam's apple. The sound of the living sacrifice obviously uses another law. Loki, who was the first to be affected by the sound wave, felt that every cell in his body seemed to be vibrating under the influence of the sound wave.

The sound of the living sacrifice changed from a low sound like Huimei to a high pitch in just a few seconds. This sound wave was transmitted at a speed of 380 meters per second in the empty sea, and it was transmitted over a very long distance in an instant.

About 1 minute later, a shriek was heard from the other side of the distant sea!

Another minute later, there was another one behind.

The shrieks resounded through the sky, and the sound waves pointed out a direction for Loki as they spread farther and farther.

At this time, he finally understood the purpose of this living sacrifice.

This thing was arranged in an array and was actually used by the ancients for positioning!
