Chapter 304 It must be them
"Who exactly are you people? And why did you just come out of the cave?"
"You don't need to know who we are. As for why we came out of the cave, it's nothing, we just dealt with a big worm."
Tian Zhenzhen spoke casually, as if she had accidentally stepped on an insect while walking.
However, the Miao family patriarch didn't take it that way. She frowned, not believing Tian Zhenzhen's words.
Although this person just displayed considerable strength, the Gu God is so powerful that no human can contend with him.
"Stop trying to be mysterious. How dare you disrespect the God of Gu?"
The Miao family patriarch had a stern face, as if Tian Zhenzhen's comment about "little insects" was an insult to them.
Don't be surprised that the Miao family patriarch reacted so strongly; for thousands of years, they have been protected by the Gu God.
Only by bestowing upon them magical powers can their families grow and prosper.
In their minds, the Gu God is a kind of faith.
If they want to become stronger, they must obtain blessings from the Gu worms.
If one can receive the blessing of the Gu God, one can obtain powerful Gu worms.
Although they could cultivate some Gu worms themselves, these Gu worms were nothing compared to the blessings bestowed upon them by the Gu God.
Take Miao Duo for example. She was lucky enough to be blessed. Her ability to spit out ice was not some mysterious technique, but rather the Ice-Sealing Gu given to her by the Gu God.
This Gu worm is extremely powerful.
Although both she and Lao Yan were innate martial artists, even Lao Yan couldn't break the Ice Sealing Gu.
The Gu God is like a totem, and is their faith.
Only after hearing Tian Zhenzhen's words did he feel angry.
"Putting the insects aside, I'm really curious, what's your purpose in luring these people here?"
Tian Zhenzhen planned to ask for clarification before taking action.
"They are the Gu God's favorite offerings. Their purpose is to be sacrificed to the Gu God so that the Gu God will bestow blessings upon us."
As the Miao clan chief spoke, she raised both hands high, as if the Gu God was her faith.
These people are like the Gu God's favorite food.
Being chosen by the God of Gu is their good fortune.
Upon hearing her words, those present understood the purpose of these people kidnapping them.
Some of the more timid ones burst into tears.
"Waaaaah, I don't want to be a sacrifice, I want to go home."
"Waaaah, I don't want to be a sacrifice either, I don't want to be eaten by bugs."
They never imagined that what awaited them was to be eaten.
They are clearly at the top of the food chain, how can they become the ones being eaten?
"Enough. It is an honor for you people to be chosen by the God of Gu. You should be happy."
After the Miao chief finished speaking, he was still muttering something under his breath.
These people then rolled on the ground clutching their stomachs, clearly entering a new round of punishment.
These people looked pained and were not feeling well.
Tian Zhenzhen didn't stop them; some people had even tried to drag them down with them.
Although they were not familiar with each other, they didn't have any deep-seated hatred. Why were they in such a hurry to drag them into this mess?
The Miao clan chief did this for two purposes. First, it was to teach these people a lesson, since they should be happy as the Gu God's favorite offerings.
Secondly, she thought Tian Zhenzhen was in cahoots with these people and wanted to use this to control them.
Unfortunately, she misunderstood; Tian Zhenzhen didn't care about their lives or deaths.
However, Tian Zhenzhen wiped out their Gu God and the secret realm all at once.
Judging from their reverence for the Gu God, this feud has been formed.
The old woman punished them for a while before stopping her control over the Gu worms inside these people's bodies.
"Now you should have learned your lesson."
Then he said to Tian Zhenzhen and the others:
"I don't care what grudges you have with the Duan family, just come with us into the secret realm."
The Miao clan patriarch's words carried a subtle threat.
The reason we haven't acted yet is because we're afraid these four people will escape. Once they enter the secret realm, it will be impossible for them to escape.
Tian Zhenzhen felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing her words.
You'd be lucky to find the secret realm.
The secret realm has been taken over by her and is no longer inside the cave.
Soon, no matter how hard they searched, they could no longer find the entrance to the secret realm; all they found were bare mountain walls.
"This...this is impossible! Why has the secret realm disappeared? Everyone, go and find it! We must find the entrance to the secret realm!"
The Miao clan leader felt a sense of panic, but she suppressed her unease and sent out most of her people to search for the entrance to the secret realm inside the cave.
Soon, those who went out to search returned. After all, the cave wasn't very big, and walking around it wouldn't take much time.
"Chieftain, the secret realm has disappeared."
"Clan leader, we can't find the entrance to the secret realm at all. Has the Gu God abandoned us?"
Some of these tribesmen were on the verge of a breakdown; the Gu God they had worshipped for so many years had vanished.
Was it because they didn't do well that they were abandoned by the God of Gu?
The people standing nearby, however, were all in a very good mood when they heard that the Gu God had disappeared.
After all, they existed as sacrifices. Now that their so-called Gu God has disappeared, does that mean they don't have to die?
Some people became increasingly happy as they thought about it, and even burst out laughing.
These people actually dared to laugh, which left the Miao chieftain, who was worried about not having an outlet for his anger.
They attacked these people directly, but still held back and didn't go all out.
"I made you laugh, I made you laugh, it's all because of you that the God of Gu was alerted."
"I'm telling you, if we can't find the God of Gu, you will still die, and you'll only die a more miserable death."
The Miao clan patriarch's words shattered these people's last illusions.
They begged for mercy, but the Miao clan chief wouldn't listen at all, until someone couldn't take it anymore and spoke up:
“It must be those four. They came out just as we arrived. Your Gu God is missing, it must be related to them.”
With someone taking the lead, more and more people, in order to save their lives, soon joined in shifting the target of hatred.
Why should they be beaten and suffer while the four of them can stand by and watch the show?
They're trying to shift the blame eastward, dragging all four of them down with them.
Sure enough, upon hearing their words, the Miao clan patriarch stopped what he was doing and looked at the four of them with hostility.
