Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 6: Where Did the Savages Come From?

Over the next few days, Wang Yu was on the road, during which he also performed several sacrifices.

She was quite lucky; on the way, she discovered a partially excavated ruin containing the corpses of several mutated animals that had fought and died.

The body had long since decomposed, leaving only a few skeletons.

As the skeleton was placed into the black box, faint gray swirling patterns appeared on the surface of the box, spreading outwards from the inside.

This is a small change made by Jie Sheng, making the energy of the items that the sacrificer puts in visible. When the vortex pattern is full, it means that the box can be opened. Starting from tier zero, gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange and gold, each color represents a tier of reward.

"I'm so hungry."

After a busy day, while Wang Yu was starving and thirsty, she finally managed to save up enough gray lottery tickets to win a few bags of bread, a rare delicacy in the wasteland.

This surprised and delighted her. Could the black box actually be a wishing machine? So she wished in her heart to receive silver coins from Daliang.

However, she soon realized that she was overthinking things.

After she had enough energy to open the box for the second time, she opened it and found a bunch of ores. Although they were worth some money, they could only be converted into cash. She couldn't carry such heavy stones on her journey, so she had no choice but to throw them away with a heavy heart.

This is quite normal, since gray represents not being in a certain rank.

Items that don't reach the extraordinary level are destined to be nothing more than a pile of trash; it's already the best outcome if they can be of any use.

To obtain high-value items, you need to invest more resources and draw higher-tier rewards.

Therefore, the only way for Wang Yu to obtain a large amount of resources is to go to Qishi City.

……

"Cough...cough...you should leave now, I'm about to die."

"No, Lady Mia! I will not abandon you! Even if it means death, I will die before you."

In the desolate ruins, two wounded superhumans are fleeing.

For ordinary survivors, the extraordinary is an unattainable power, but compared to more powerful beings, a mere first-order extraordinary power is just the beginning.

Mia is a first-order transcendent in Qishi City, but unlike ordinary first-order transcendents, she has a fifth-order elder in her family.

Because of her father, she gained a status that ordinary people could not attain, but at the same time, she encountered dangers that ordinary people would not encounter.

She was hunted by a group of madmen.

Actually, the situation should have been reversed.

The noble Miss Mia, on the orders of the administrator of Strange Stone City, goes out to hunt and exterminate the cultists, those damned lunatics who believe in evil gods.

Initially, things went very smoothly. Mia organized a superhuman team, including third-tier superhumans, and they quickly suppressed the Blood Moon followers of the Crimson Moon.

But who would have thought that these madmen would find new helpers, a group of even madmen who worshipped the "Lord of the Tide," believing that all things in the world would be submerged by the raging tide of blood flames, and using their own souls and bodies as fuel, they ignited a blood flame powerful enough to incinerate everything.

This is the chaotic wasteland, where anything is possible.

Mia's superhuman team suffered a crushing defeat, with almost everyone killed or wounded. In the end, she and one of her attendants managed to escape only after paying a heavy price.

But this was just a death throes. Although the Frenzy Cultists were all dead, many Blood Moon Cultists survived and began to hunt them down.

Mia was only a first-tier, and her attendant was only a second-tier, and both were already seriously injured. They were about to be caught up.

The attendant gritted his teeth and made a decision: "There's a forest not far ahead; let's hide there!"

The forests in the wilderness are often fraught with danger, because no one knows whether powerful supernatural creatures may inhabit them, but they have no other choice at the moment.

Humans have never been the darlings of the world; there are many species far more powerful than them.

They would rather be eaten by aberrant creatures than be insulted to death by cultists!

So Mia and her companion hurriedly fled into the forest, but before they had gone very far, they sensed two powerful fluctuations of divine power.

Roar!

A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the forest.

It seemed to be the roar of some kind of animal, echoing and spreading outward from the depths of the forest. The sounds of birds and beasts scattering were incessant, and the air seemed to become oppressive and stifling. The creature that made the roar was definitely a powerful one in this forest!

Judging from the fluctuations of divine power, he is at least a third-tier being!

At the same time, a howling wind also swept in.

Countless powerful gusts of wind burst forth from within the forest, spreading outwards and blowing away fallen leaves and branches along the way, including some small animals.

There is no doubt that this is a conflict between two local supernatural beings.

Mia didn't know if her luck was good or bad, but she encountered such a dangerous situation as soon as she arrived.

But if they're lucky enough, this group of cultists might just get wiped out by the supernatural beings first...

With that in mind, she no longer hesitated and made a decision: "Let's go in! First, let's see what's fighting inside, and then see if we can get past them."

This was a last resort. The cultists relied on divine markings to hunt them down. Only when the divine power was disordered deep in the forest could the cultists' tracking methods be disrupted.

Before they had gone very far, the attendant noticed something amiss and stood on alert: "Lady Mia, there are people over there!"

Following the direction pointed out by the attendant, Mia indeed saw a person dressed in tattered clothes, covered in filth, with no trace of divine power emanating from him.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Where did this savage come from?"

……

The savage Mia was referring to was Wang Yu.

These past few days of eating only the wind and dew have made her look rather shabby, but for a scavenger, this is perfectly normal.

Half a day ago, Wang Yu arrived at this forest, wondering if he could hunt on the outskirts to replenish his supplies and see if there was anything he could offer as a sacrifice.

Who would have thought they'd be so unlucky, running into such a terrible situation. They stumbled upon a battle between two forest overlords, and during their escape, they encountered Mia and her companion, who called them savages.

She muttered to herself, "I'm not a savage."

Although she muttered very softly, her attendant still heard her, as she was also a second-tier transcendent with extremely keen hearing.

The attendant said somewhat awkwardly, "Lady Mia, this is a survivor from the lowest rungs of the wasteland. He should be a scavenger who specializes in treasure hunting, not a savage."

Mia grew up in the City of Strange Stones and had never witnessed the impoverished lives of the survivors at the bottom of society.

However, they quickly put the matter out of their minds, because behind them, dozens of Blood Moon believers came into view.
