Chapter 378: New Sacrificial Ritual, Archer Hero?

“Kill them! Kill them!”

Boom, boom, boom…

In the Temple of Providence on the Twin Dragon Island.

Compared with the deafening sound outside, the temple felt tranquil and solemn.

The tranquility came from the power of providence of the settlement core. Because of that, hundreds of women and children could stay here in safety.

The solemn feeling came from the objects on the largest altar in the temple. Right now, there were five Extraordinary offerings and five black Souls of Civilization!

Of course, they had obtained more than five offerings in the battle.

In fact, almost all commanders in the Fang La army had dropped an offering.

Together with the offerings dropped by quasi-commanders and elite soldiers, there were over a thousand pieces, not to mention the hundreds of Souls of Civilization.

But those in the temple didn’t celebrate or cheer like they used to.

Instead, many native women were weeping.

Because behind each offering was the loss of a life, and each Soul of Civilization meant that at least a native had died in the process. Many of them were husbands, fathers, or sons!

Although the Twin Dragon Island had defeated Fang La, because the latter had five times more soldiers, the Twin Dragon Island had paid a heavy price.

As many as 700 capable combatants died, including six Commanders.

There was Di Lei the Bronze Hammer, who was one of the Fierce Four Hammer Men from Life of Yue Fei and a descendant of Di Qing, the hero of the Yue Army. There was also Ruan Liang, Ruan Xiaoer’s unexpected son, Deng Fei the Fiery Eyed Suan-ni, and Meng Kang the Jade Flagpole. The latter two were both Earthly Spirits from the Water Margin.

The other two were second-batch players who had been given the Commander evaluation.

Those who survived the battle almost all had some sort of injury, and even Ji Ye had lost half a hand. Because Fang La’s Holy Fire was of the Transcendent level, even the Heal talent couldn’t fix his hand in a short period of time.

The images in the clouds were somewhat fictional, but they had some truth behind them.

Instead of taking out all the Souls of Civilization, only a few offerings and Souls of Civilization were going to be used for the sacrificial ritual.

Because they had to show consideration for the feelings of the people in the Temple of Providence.

Also, because of all the people cramped up in the Temple of Providence, they couldn’t run a large-scale sacrificial ritual.

That was why the chosen offerings and Souls of Civilization were all the most valuable ones. All five offerings were Excellent and above.

And the Souls of Civilization were all of the Commanders, including the Extraordinary Rank-8 one dropped by Pang Wanchun, who was killed by Yan Qing, and the Extraordinary Rank-9 one dropped by Fang La!

“Aren’t we going to use the two Souls of Civilization to summon Transcendent heroes?”

Hearing Ji Ye’s arrangement, Su Nongying, who was to be in charge of the sacrificial ritual, was a little perplexed.

“We won’t be able to do it.”

Ji Ye shook his head.

In the first stage of the test, the twin Dragons of Providence on the island were attacked by over a hundred competing settlements and were badly injured.

Moreover, with over one-fifth of the settlement members having died in the four battlefields, the dragons looked dimmer than ever. Although the power of providence poured into the Temple of Providence after they defeated Fang La’s army, until they passed the trial, the twin dragons wouldn’t be able to absorb the power for healing or evolution. Because of that, they wouldn’t be able to suppress offerings such as the Thunder Halberd or the Water Stopping Stone.

Therefore, the heroes summoned this time would still be of the Extraordinary stage.

But unlike last time, there was a Perfect offering this time.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The dimmer and exhausted-looking Dragons of Providence poured golden light at the offerings and Souls of Civilization below.

Hum!

The first offering that was activated by the golden light was an invisible bow.

[Invisible Bow]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: The weapon that Pang Wanchun was very proud of. With it, he killed 103 Twin Dragon Island members in total!]

Hum!

While the bow illuminated, on the other side, one of the Souls of Civilization reacted as well and began to shine brightly.

“So, the first piece is an Extraordinary Rank-8 one. In that case, our chance of winning has just gone up!”

Su Nongying was elated.

A Superior Extraordinary Rank-8 hero had responded so quickly, indicating that he was confident in completing the challenge. He should be a hero who was good in combat.

With the bow as the offering, a hero good with a bow would definitely be very useful in this battle. Pang Wanchun, the original owner of the bow, was a good example. He alone had killed 103 people with his bow.

“Hey, something isn’t right!

“I remember that the Soul of Civilization is only Extraordinary Rank-7.”

While Su Nongying was lost in her thoughts, one of the main logistics female players suddenly cried out with wide-open eyes.

“What?

“Is the hero taking the challenge that’s beyond his level?”

Su Nongying’s mouth parted a little, and she frowned.

The Invisible Bow was an Extraordinary Rank-8 offering, but the Soul of Civilization was only Extraordinary Rank-7.

It meant that the hero summoned had chosen a challenge above his level. A challenge of a matching level wouldn’t be very difficult for Superior and Extraordinary combative heroes. Since the Twin Dragon Island had a high-level core, even with the dragons’ current state, they could still suppress most of the power of an Extraordinary offering.

But a challenge of a higher level was a different story.

Even with the help of the power of providence, the challenge would be so difficult that the hero had to fight with everything he had.

Of all the heroes on the Twin Dragon Island, only Lu Junyi, the Jade Qilin, who was fighting against Wang Qing right now, had made such a choice.

Back then, the Human race was about to walk into the final battle against the Eagle Man, and Lu Junyi directly made an advancement after he was summoned by a higher-level offering. He then made a great contribution in the battle that followed.

But Lu Junyi was a Perfect hero and one of the most capable fighters in the Water Margin.

This hero, on the other hand, was Superior only. Why would he dare to choose this challenge in a time like this?

Because if he failed, it would affect the Twin Dragon Island in the advancement trial.

Su Nongying was a little baffled.

Because all the combative members were on the battlefield to fend off Wang Qing’s final round of frantic attack, Ji Ye was the only one staying behind outside the Temple of Providence. Because he needed to control the “live-stream” in the clouds, he had let her take charge of the sacrificial ritual.

It made her a little nervous, and she was worried that something might go wrong.

“Phew… Don’t worry. Since he has made the choice, I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.”

But as an experienced leader, she wouldn’t let her feelings show. Instead, she told the female player in a calm voice.

After the Extraordinary Rank-7 Soul of Civilization reacted, the long-awaited poem was finally chanted again.

[“His saddle clothes are made from Sichuan brocade, and his stirrups shine brightly. Jade ornaments jingle as his magnificent horse moves.”]

The white light gradually took shape, forming the hero that was going to take the challenge.

The first thing that appeared was a magnificent horse with a deep purple mane, four white hooves, and white fur across its shoulders. Its saddle was woven from Sichuan brocade.

[“His carved bow has a string made from a tiger’s tendon, and his long arrows have feathers at the end.”]

The process continued, showing a tough bow with carved patterns and a tiger-tendon string. It was a combination of splendor and power. All twenty arrows were made of the best Golden Condor plumes.

[“His green brocade robe resembles a golden peacock. A red belt is tied around his purple mandarin duck vest, over which he wears a golden armor. In his hand is a silver spear with an iron rock.”]

In the end, a combative hero wearing a golden armor, a green brocade, and a purple mandarin duck vest appeared while holding an exquisite silver spear. His face was blurred out.
