บท 644: Sacrifice

"Correct, a sacrifice." Lao Yan took one last suck on his cigarette, its tip glowing a bright orange. Tossing the cigarette butt into the campfire, Lao Yan inhaled the remaining smoke into his lungs.

"Isn't it like what they say in those myths? A sacrifice to appease the gods. Even if they end up not fancying it much, they still wouldn't hate it, right? Just slaughter a couple of fat pigs, two live cows, light some incense, then worship them a bit; that should be enough."

"All right." Everyone else agreed, as they didn't have any better ideas.

"If we can establish a good relationship with this river god, it would be another layer of safety for us." Lao Yan's murky eyes glinted with a well-honed craftiness.

After all, they were currently hunting in the vicinity of Yuzhou, which had been built along the Yangtze River. They didn't dare stray too far from Yuzhou, so having the blessing of this river god would definitely make their operations smoother.
