What Jiang Fan found even more intriguing was that Wang Shuhe's face bore a striking resemblance to Wang Yao's.
Similar faces, but completely different expressions, make it easy to tell the two apart at a glance, and never confuse them.
The Ruins Spirit on the altar remained motionless, as if it were fast asleep.
Before long, a Ruins Species Being dressed in a moon-white robe with flowing patterns slowly walked onto the stage and came before the Ruins Spirit.
His attitude carried a hint of flattery, but within that flattery lay a touch of calculation.
"This Ruins Species is very powerful," Ye Qizhen whispered.
Jiang Fan nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, they're stronger than the Ruins Species couple we killed, but they probably haven't reached the elite level yet."
At this point, Jiang Fan's eyes turned fiery.
The main reason is that the couple gave so much, so since both are Ruins Species approaching the elite level, could this Ruins Species also contribute a Psychic Fruit?
If I could have another one, wow, that would be wonderful!
Seeing Jiang Fan's eyes growing brighter and brighter, eventually resembling the Thunderbolt released by Pikachu, Ye Qizhen quickly spoke up:
" Old Jiang, take it easy. I know you're pretty tough now, but our main goal this time is to save people. Let's get them out of there first. Don't be impulsive!"
As Ye Qizhen spoke, she stared at the hairband on Jiang Fan's forehead, and for some inexplicable reason, she seemed to smell the sour smell of love.
"I know."
Jiang Fan spoke calmly, but the fiery glint in his eyes only intensified.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qizhen couldn't help but twitch her lips.
The Ruins Species dressed in a moon-white robe was named Ge Lanshuo. He rubbed his hands together, his eyes almost closing into slits with laughter.
"My most respected Ruins Spirit, these are offerings prepared for you. I hope some of them will please you."
The orange cat, Ruins Spirit, didn't lift its eyelids at all and continued to sleep soundly.
Ge Lanshuo seemed to be used to it and didn't care at all. The moment he turned around, his fawning smile vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely bloodthirsty and cold expression.
"The auspicious hour has arrived; the sacrificial ceremony shall commence!"
As soon as the words fell, Ruins Species was below the stage, immediately pushed the first person in the long queue forward.
"Get up there now! If you delay the ceremony, I'll kill you!"
The man being pushed out was ashen-faced, and amidst his fear, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Going up there is probably just a death sentence."
"What are you muttering about? Get up there right now!"
Having said that, Ruins Species lashed out with his whip.
"Ah!" A scream rang out.
Fearing that further delay would incur his wrath, Ruins Species simply grabbed the back of the offering by the collar, strode onto the stage, and threw the offering in front of the orange cat Ruins Spirit.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan and Ye Qizhen's expressions became even more solemn, and even their breathing became heavier and deeper.
If the orange cat Ruins Spirit really does devour the offerings, should they intervene or not?
If they were to fight, would they, along with the Little Turtle, be a match for it?
What's more, the Little Turtle is a lazy bum.
If they didn't act, Wang Shuhe would be ahead of them in the queue. The others weren't really their concern, so they didn't need to be saints. But Wang Shuhe was the fat man's relative, so they couldn't just leave her alone.
Besides, even if they really have the heart not to help, the queue will eventually reach them.
The analysis process may seem long, but it actually only takes a moment.
After weighing the pros and cons, the two quickly made a decision and prepared to take action at any time.
The person in first place stood trembling before the orange cat Ruins Spirit, his face deathly pale, and the back of his clothes looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Lord of the Ruins Spirit, please enjoy the offering."
Ge Lanshuo bowed respectfully and extended his hand in an invitation.
The orange cat Ruins Spirit remained silent.
"You don't like it? That's alright, there are many other offerings, next one."
Upon hearing this, the person in first place felt as if they had been granted a pardon, collapsed to the ground, and almost burst into tears.
He escaped death by a hair's breadth; now it's the second person's turn.
The person in second place, looking at the whip in Ruins Species's hand next to him, and thinking about the fate of the pioneer just now, felt that it was better to go up on stage obediently; he didn't want to get whipped.
So he went on stage as if he had lost his parents, praying in his heart that he would not be taken a liking by this orange cat-like creature.
Whether his prayers worked or not, the orange cat Ruins Spirit still didn't react.
This put pressure on the people in the back of the line, and the rest of the people were filled with anxiety.
Without exception, none of them caught the eye of this orange cat Ruins Spirit; they were all rejected.
Soon, it was Wang Yao's turn in the queue.
"Is it her turn yet?" Jiang Fan muttered to himself.
Ye Qizhen seized the opportunity to tease, "Nervous?"
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at him. Now was not the time to retort. Just because the people before him had escaped unscathed did not mean that Wang Yao would be able to pass smoothly as well.
"Let's go up quickly."
The Ruins Species's attitude wasn't as hostile as before, purely because their race is quite particular about appearance.
Those who are born good-looking will naturally be treated differently.
As Wang Yao slowly walked onto the stage, she pondered in her mind how to escape if this orange cat took a liking to her.
No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't come up with a good solution.
Just then, the sleeping orange cat Ruins Spirit's eyelashes twitched, as if it was about to open its eyes.
Upon seeing this, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
Jiang Fan and Ye Qizhen immediately became alert and prepared to take action at any moment.
"Thump thump thump!" Wang Yao's heart was pounding so hard it was like a drumbeat on a battlefield.
Could I really be that unlucky as to be stuck with this situation?
Wang Yao thought bitterly to herself, her eyes fixed on the orange cat Ruins Spirit in front of her.
The other person's eyelashes twitched several times, and they even sniffed.
"Thump thump thump thump thump thump!"
My heart started pounding even harder.
If things continue like this, this orange cat creature could very well open its eyes at any moment and swallow her whole, leaving her no chance to escape.
no!
She absolutely cannot just sit here and wait to die!
Let's give it our all!
Wang Shuhe finally made her decision, her eyes flashing with a desperate glint.
Rather than waiting for this orange cat to fully wake up, it's better to take action first; perhaps we can still fight for a chance of survival.
As he thought of this, a short blade silently slipped from his sleeve and landed in his palm, where he gripped it tightly.
However--
Just as she was about to take a desperate gamble, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her mind.
"Stay calm, I'll step in when it counts."
The one transmitting the message was none other than Jiang Fan. He hadn't originally intended to expose himself, but the situation forced him to do so.
That sound!
Wang Shuhe's pupils suddenly dilated. That familiar voice... even if it turned to ashes—well, that's not the right metaphor, but that's the gist of it.
