What Ling Xiao was thinking was actually quite similar to what Xiao Ge was thinking, so the enclosed space quickly became bright.

Perhaps because it had been in the dark for too long, the python's eyes were burned by the light. It shook its head desperately, but refused to come up.

"Why doesn't it come up?" Wu Xie asked, voicing the question that had been on his mind.

"Come up? This place is too small for its head. If it comes up, won't it get its head chopped off by this guy?" the fat man said, gesturing as he spoke.

"If it doesn't come up, how can you sprinkle the blood on it?" Wu Xie's question stumped the fat man.

Yes, the cave entrance isn't big, and there's more than one snake. If even one drop is wrong, it'll be like those medicines from before—they only work if the snakes take them; if you just sprinkle it on yourself, it's a complete waste.

There wasn't much of that venomous blood to begin with, and what if it spilled on other snakes...

"So you all don't believe in the blind man at all. The blind man is heartbroken." Black Bear pretended to cry and wiped away non-existent tears.

Black Bear went down crying, the drop of blood still hanging on his neck, he didn't take it off.

As Hei Xiazi entered the black hole, all the moths gathered together, densely packed in the air, forming the shape of a skull, which then slowly transformed into the shape of a snake with its mouth open.

It's like the bizarre totem carved on the wall outside.

Wu Xie tried to speak, but the young man covered his mouth and pulled him backward. The fat man followed closely behind them, pushing them all the way to Xie Yuhua's side.

Jieyuhua also covered Lingxiao's mouth. Lingxiao didn't quite understand what Jieyuhua's intention was. Xiaoge covered Wuxie's mouth because he was afraid that Wuxie would make a sound and attract those moths. Why was Jieyuhua covering his mouth?

The moths moved back and forth, changing their arrangement as if starting some kind of ritual; everything was extremely quiet.

At this moment, Cheng Yu started scattering the moths with his backpack as if he had gone mad.

His actions disrupted a step in the ritual, causing the swarm of snakes below to riot. They crawled up, coiling around Cheng Yu's body with incredible speed, determined to tear him to pieces.

Cheng Yu struggled and lost his composure for a moment. The young man, wielding the Black Gold Ancient Blade, also slashed at the snakes that were crawling up.

"Cheng Yu, are you crazy?" Wu Xie and Fatty were also there helping to scatter the moths.

"This is a cult's sacrificial ritual. The high priest of this cult is that python down there. Once Blackie goes down, the ritual begins. To activate the cult, a living person must be sacrificed, which is why they haven't come up yet."

"Because the ritual has not even begun, the only purpose of these snakes is to protect the python and to ensure the ritual can proceed!" Cheng Yu roared with all his might.

"My grandma believed in this cult..." As he fell to the ground, Cheng Yu pulled out a tattered notebook from his backpack with a bitter expression and said with a smile, "She wrote this story in the Book of Revelation. At first, I didn't believe it, but when the pattern formed by those moths was the same as the pattern in the Book of Revelation, I realized it."

Wu Xie took the notebook and quickly flipped through a few pages. Rather than an apocalypse, it was more like a cult's initiation manual. The actions of those moths matched the most primitive and most effective incantation to Buddha in the notebook.

It is said that there is a mysterious place where, if someone uses the right method, they will automatically start a sacrificial ceremony to invite Buddha. Apart from the sacrifice, there is nothing special about the whole thing. The only thing that can be said to be unique is that Grandma Cheng Yu wrote at the very bottom: "Chen Yunjin said that it is best to use living people for the sacrifice."
