This was originally a sudden thought, but after ten seconds, it did not fade away. Instead, it was like a root, deeply rooted in Chen Feng's mind.
Stonehill City was strange!
In fact, Chen Feng had already noticed something in the past few days. There was a strange atmosphere everywhere, as if a haze had shrouded everything in front of him.
However, at that time, Chen Feng had just arrived here, and there were many things he did not know. He even thought that it was because of the unfamiliar environment that caused him to feel this way.
But just now, when he saw the pool of blood in the arena, he was suddenly inspired and suddenly thought of a possibility!
Blood sacrifice!
Chen Feng was too familiar with this kind of thing. It could be said that he had the strength he had today because of blood sacrifices. From summoning the Burning Flame Demon at the beginning to summoning the Mind Reading Demon not long ago, his growth could be said to be built on countless bones!
It was precisely because of this that Chen Feng was so sensitive to this kind of thing.
The auction that was originally scheduled for a few days ago was suddenly canceled and delayed for seven days. During these few days, more and more experts were attracted by the substandard divine artifact. What was even more bizarre was that the experts who were originally in a state of overlooking the auction seemed to be more determined to stay here after a few days.
Even in this arena, Chen Feng felt three forces not weaker than himself. What did this mean? They chose to stay here, as if the so-called substandard artifact was suitable for them!
This made Chen Feng think of the information he had exchanged with the Queen Bee Honey not long ago. The owner of the tavern mentioned the term "Book of Corruption", which was obviously a substandard artifact more suitable for Mages. There was no reason for those strength-type Legends to be fascinated by it. After all, if the ability was different from the substandard artifact, not only would it not have considerable destructive power, it would even affect the normal performance of the user.
It was impossible for those powerful people to coincidentally enter the tavern.
This meant that in other corners of the city, there seemed to be other leakers. They were one of the few people who knew the secret of the artifact.
Stonehill City was an ancient force. Even if the substandard artifact was incomparably precious, they would not go so far as to use some dirty means to keep the powerful people here.
There must be a reason for this abnormality.
Chen Feng smelled the scent of a conspiracy!
Spending so much manpower and energy, leaving so many experts behind, perhaps it was really to hold an unprecedented blood sacrifice!
There were already more than a dozen known Legendary Masters, and there were still four days before the auction. The surrounding Legendary Masters would definitely rush over upon hearing the news. By then, the number of Legendary Masters would probably exceed 20, or even more!
Of course, it wasn't just the Legendary powerhouses. Once the news of the substandard artifact was released, the heretics who had some power in the surroundings all rushed to participate in this event.
Within a short period of time, the number of people in Stonehill City had tripled. How many Gold Rankers were there? Silver (Peak)? It was impossible to calculate clearly in a short period of time!
Chen Feng's pupils constricted. If it was really a blood sacrifice, then what was the other party summoning that required the lives of so many experts?
He subconsciously stood up and tried to leave!
This was a person's instinctive reaction after sensing danger. For Chen Feng, if he left now, it seemed that he would be able to get rid of all of this.
Originally, he was only here to join in the fun. He didn't even think about fighting for the so-called Sub-God Artifact. It could be said that even if he left, he wouldn't lose anything.
But …
Chen Feng thought of the expectations of coming here.
To find a way to level up!
Behind any high risk, there were always opportunities that could make one go crazy!
If … he could get some Legend rank corpses, then he could sacrifice the Violent Dragon and summon two more Legend rank beasts with the remaining quota!
In addition, the extra blood could also be used to communicate with the altar and obtain some rewards from the abyss.
After advancing to the legendary realm, Chen Feng's mastery of summoning had reached a whole new level. A lot of things he hadn't been able to do previously seemed to have gained some inspiration. Now, he had grasped the ability to communicate with altars. When needed, he would be able to offer some extra sacrifices in exchange for treasures other than his summoned beast.
All of this was undoubtedly a thorny rose. Even if it was full of thorns, it still had a fragrance that made it difficult to move!
Chen Feng stopped his retreat and sat back on the chair. The final auction would be held in four days. Even if there was some kind of conspiracy in Stonehill City, at least these four days were safe. This meant that Chen Feng still had some time to choose.
Leave?
Or stay?!
Chen Feng took a deep breath. Many things filled his mind like paste. He needed some time to digest these questions.
The gray dwarves and gnomes were the original owners of this land. The dark elves, as the invaders, occupied this place and transformed it into their own home.
The gray dwarves and gnomes believed in Lolth, but there were still some rebellions in the surroundings. The gray dwarves, who had some barbarian blood in them, didn't really worship Lolth. The so-called belief was just a compromise that couldn't be helped!
Stonehill City was managed by the council, which was the power of the natives!
Lolth was a powerful evil god. To her, Legendary Masters were just a group of 'strong children'. She wouldn't waste so much energy for a group of children. This was not in line with her way of doing things.
Therefore, it could be concluded that the blood sacrifice was a conspiracy of Stonehill City, a conspiracy of the gray dwarves and gnomes!
Chen Feng seemed to have found some important clues. His eyes suddenly brightened. At this instant, he seemed to be able to see some short silhouettes hiding in the shadows. They were gathered together and discussing some huge conspiracy.
Once the conspiracy succeeded, Stonehill City would be flooded with blood!
The gray dwarves wouldn't launch a meaningless conspiracy for no reason. If the council members were just a group of brainless dark creatures, Stonehill City wouldn't have existed for so many years. The reason why they had shed all pretense of cordiality now was because they might have found some power that could compete with the dark elves or Lolth.
Chen Feng seemed to have lifted a corner of the veil. As for what was hidden behind the veil, he still didn't know. But one thing was for sure. To be able to make Stonehill City do such a crazy thing, the person behind it definitely had unimaginable power.
Unmatched!
Chen Feng thought seriously for more than ten seconds and seemed to have made some kind of decision. He relied on telepathy to contact Erwin.
"I'm in Stonehill City. This city was built by the gray dwarves and gnomes. I found some clues. The ruler here seems to have the intention to gather more powerful people. I suspect that they are trying to hold an unprecedented blood sacrifice ceremony. This feeling is very strong. I believe in my own judgment."
"Pray to the goddess Lolth. As the owner of this land, she has the right to know this secret."
Chen Feng did not give Erwin a chance to ask before ending the conversation. He looked ahead and felt that there were some tiny particles in the air. Those particles were formed by fresh blood. They were scarlet red and thick, like an oil painting. The colors were so distinct.
