C1 Sacrificial Sky

In the middle of the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot, but people from all over the place had gathered in a clearing near Zhenhe Village. In front of the clearing was a dry and cracked riverbed, and a girl wearing bright red clothes was tied up and propped up in the middle of the riverbed. She looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, her lips were already tightly shut, and beside her stood a villager with a torch.

A few years ago, she was sent to the countryside as a foster child, but in reality, she had died on her own. The old woman who came with her had already run away during the drought, leaving behind only the foolish young miss. Everyone had thought of her when the Goddess said that she wanted to use the living to sacrifice her.

The madame, dressed in fancy clothes, was dancing around the altar with the bell in her hand, chanting. She suddenly stopped, opened her arms wide, and roared, then waved her hand towards the villagers who were holding the torches.

The villagers had been closely watching the Goddess' movements, so when they saw her move, they immediately threw out the torch in their hands.

Who knew that the girl's eyes would move? The moment Jiang Wanbai opened his eyes, before he could even feel the temperature that was going to kill him, he saw a fire thrown at him.

"Holy shit!" Jiang Wanbai was so scared that his jaw almost went down. His first reaction was to step back, then he realized that his hands and feet were tied, with a stake behind him. Luckily, the torch didn't fall on her body, but unfortunately, it landed on the firewood at her feet.

They were all firewood that had been exposed to the sun's rays. There wasn't even the slightest bit of moisture in them. The moment they touched, they would immediately combust.

Jiang Wanbai didn't have time to check what was going on. His hands that were tied behind his back quickly pinched his fingertips, drawing a glyph on his palm with his blood. The moment the glyph was completed, a golden light flashed across the glyph.

When she was alive, she was no matter what, and was still an extremely famous master in the world of profound arts. She was hailed as a peerless genius who was hard to come across in a hundred years.

The cloudless sky just a second ago suddenly overflowed with dark clouds, accompanied by a clap of thunder.

"The heavens have opened their eyes! The heavens have opened their eyes! " Seeing this scene, the villagers excitedly kneeled down and kowtowed again. They believed that the sacrifice had worked and attracted the rain. After the Goddess was stunned for a moment, she became even more excited.

As he rang the bell, he sang loudly, "Wind and Rain …"

The shouting came to an abrupt stop.

Even the villagers who were kneeling down stopped in their tracks, staring at the scene before them with widened eyes.

The rain clouds gathered above Jiang Wanbai's head. The heavy rain poured down and instantly extinguished the fire at her feet.

Seeing the villagers' reactions, Jiang Wanbai's eyes flashed. He had already made a decision in his heart, this was just a small spell she learned when she entered the school, yet it attracted such a huge reaction. For her to be able to survive in the 21st century with advanced technology, it definitely wouldn't be too bad here.

Understanding this, Jiang Wanbai was relieved. He licked his lips that had been wet by the rain, but had been tied up for too long. The aching pain in his body could not be relieved immediately.

When her thirsty throat became a bit more comfortable, she wiped the talisman on her palm. In a split-second, the dark clouds dissipated and the scorching sun came again. Jiang Wanbai looked at the Goddess with ridicule.

She then drew a light charm and burned off the rope that tied her to the fire. The string was broken, but Jiang Wanbai almost fell down. Luckily, he turned his body in time and smashed his shoulder against the firewood.

"This... "What's going on?" The village chief of Zhenhe Village looked at the Goddess with a helpless expression, then looked at Jiang Wanbai.
