Chapter 1228: Chapter 1227 Sacrificial Goods Lin Dong and Ye Wuyou followed Red Rat and Grey Snake into the villa. When there were no ears listening, Red Rat hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, that Black Rabbit is a fiend; she is bisexual, especially fond of handsome men and beautiful women. Regardless of gender, anyone she targets ends up badly off." "Don’t be fooled by her beauty—her idea of ’fun’ is far from innocent." "They usually end up crippled by her ’fun’..." Lin Dong squinted, recalling how that woman had touched his face with her hand, using so much force with her nails that she almost drew blood. This woman seemed to take pleasure in cruelty; she was brutal. Lin Dong etched her into his memory. He then remembered something she had mentioned, the ’sacrificial goods’. "What did that Black Rabbit mean by ’sacrificial goods’?" Lin Dong asked. Red Rat and Grey Snake exchanged a glance before Red Rat replied, "It’s not ’things’ but people. At every Black Sorcerer Sacramental Ceremony, they capture people from all over the world and use their fresh blood for rituals to perform certain Black Witchcraft." "What?" Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s complexion turned very dark. "So, the Dragon Country sacrifices she mentioned are actually people taken from Dragon Country?" "Yes," Red Rat nodded. "These people are either deceived or captured." Lin Dong clenched his fist so tightly it crackled. At this moment, his resolve to annihilate the Black Sorcerer Palace had solidified even more! This kind of malicious power was intolerable to the heavens; Lin Dong vowed not to rest until it was destroyed!! "Later, try to save as many of our Dragon Country people as possible," Lin Dong said. "Yes," Red Rat and Grey Snake quickly nodded their heads. At the same time, Red Rat added, "Their safety isn’t a concern until the Black Sorcerer Festival starts, but even then, it’s not certain; some attractive women or handsome men could easily be violated before the sacrifice..." Hearing this, Lin Dong gripped his fists even tighter. Next to him, Ye Wuyou’s veins bulged, and he couldn’t help but say, "This Black Sorcerer Palace truly deserves to die. We must extinguish it this time; it is intolerable to the heavens!" While they were speaking, Lin Dong sensed someone approaching and said, "It seems Black Rabbit is coming. Stop talking." Upon Lin Dong’s warning, everyone fell silent. Sure enough, about five or six minutes later, Black Rabbit came knocking: "Grey Snake, Red Rat, have you two guys rested up? The batch of ’sacrificial goods’ from Dragon Country has arrived; let’s hurry over there. If you’re not coming, I’ll go by myself!" Red Rat hurriedly replied, "Wait for us; we’re definitely coming." With that, Lin Dong and Ye Wuyou followed Red Rat and Grey Snake out of the villa again. At that moment, there was another person by Black Rabbit’s side. That person was also a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist and one of the Twelve Zodiacs. He was a one-eyed man dressed in a pirate outfit, a sworn younger brother whom Black Rabbit had recognized while pirating. He was the ’Lord of the Dog,’ known as Lü Gou. His looks were decidedly ugly, with a single eye, protruding fangs, and half of his face rotting. Like Black Rabbit, he was also a brutal person who took pleasure in cruelty. "Red Rat, I heard you took in a Little White Face as a disciple? And you’re actually not willing to lend him to Sister Black Rabbit for a few days? Could it be that you are also interested in men?" Lü Gou grinned, showing off his fangs, and said to Red Rat. Red Rat glared at him and scolded, "Lü Gou, screw you. Do you think I’m like Hei Tu, swinging both ways? I only like women!" "The reason I took Xiao Lin as my disciple has nothing to do with his looks but simply because I think he has potential! I truly appreciate him." At this point, he warned Hei Tu: "Hei Tu, I’m warning you again, don’t harbor any intentions towards my disciple; otherwise, I will turn against you!" Seeing Red Rat getting serious, both Hei Tu and Lü Gou were somewhat surprised. Hei Tu laughingly said, "Okay. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s set off immediately to collect the sacrificial goods!" "I heard this time, there are many beauties and handsome men." After saying this, the group of people set off towards a bay. The place to collect ’sacrificial goods’ was different from the pier they had come from. The sacrificial goods were brought over by a pirate ship, and naturally, the docking location was different. The group drove a beach buggy and quickly arrived at the docking site of the pirate ship. Onboard, a band of pirates dressed as members of the Black Sorcerer Temple were capturing a group of Dragon Country’s people. This group of people from Dragon Country was over a hundred strong, and at the moment, they were tied up in the middle of the deck. There was a woman among these people who stood out in both looks and demeanor. Her beauty and charm were top-ranking even on a global scale. When Lin Dong followed Grey Snake, Red Rat, and Hei Tu aboard, and he saw the beautiful Dragon Country woman tied on the deck, he was utterly stunned. He never expected her to be someone he knew. And not just anyone, but a very close acquaintance. She was indeed Tang Mu, Lin Dong’s high school deskmate and a famous star close to Lin Dong! Previously, Lin Dong had heard Hei Tu mention that one of the sacrificial goods was an international star, but he hadn’t taken it seriously at the time. Now it seemed that the international star she was talking about was indeed Tang Mu! Tang Mu was indeed famous, often winning various awards internationally. She had mentioned in a chat with him that she was planning to go abroad. Lin Dong never imagined she would end up captured here. At the moment, his face looked incredibly troubled, and he quickly communicated telepathically with Red Rat and Grey Snake: "You two must protect that Dragon Country woman with the best looks and the finest demeanor, no matter what!" Lin Dong instructed. Of course, if it really came down to it, even at the risk of blowing his cover, he would take action! The sound of Lin Dong’s voice suddenly echoed in the minds of Red Rat and Grey Snake, startling them as well. This method of telepathic communication was a Dragon Country Art, which they had never encountered before. They were amazed at this moment. "Master Lin truly seems like a divine being!" both thought privately. Then, without showing any signs, they discreetly nodded to Lin Dong. The meaning was clear—they had received his instructions! They would do everything possible to protect the Dragon Country woman he referred to. At that moment, Hei Tu and Lü Gou’s eyes also immediately turned towards Tang Mu. The moment they saw Tang Mu, Hei Tu’s eyes lit up, and he loudly said: "This Dragon Country woman is simply too beautiful; I have never seen such a beautiful woman! I, Hei Tu, want her!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and reached toward Tang Mu...
