"Not necessarily, if the Snake God can’t find Zhang Hao in the village, it might punish the entire village chief," soone retorted.
"Then hurry up and get the village chief back!!"
As these words ca out, a voice followed.
"No need to look, I’m back."
Everyone turned towards the direction of the voice, and discovered it was the village chief, Zhang Hao.
"Village chief, you’re finally back, we were worried sick about you!!"
"Yes, village chief, we’ve been sending people to look for you and keeping people at the village entrance just to know about your whereabouts at the first mont."
Zhang Hao nodded, "Rest assured, if it’s indeed I, Zhang Hao, who has offended the Snake God, I will definitely take full responsibility."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Village chief, what’s in the backpack you’re carrying?" soone asked.
Everyone followed the voice and saw Zhang Hao carrying a black backpack, with so unknown liquid leaking from it. It was too late to see clearly, but a strong stench was clearly detectable.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao took off the backpack and dumped it on the ground.
"These are sacrifices I brought back for the Snake God during the day."
There were dozens of animals on the ground.
Rabbits, rats, toads, ...
These animals were relatively small; even those who couldn’t hunt could catch them with so effort.
"Besides these, I’m also planning to dedicate all the chickens from my coop to the Snake God, praying for forgiveness."
This proposal was approved by all the villagers.
"This is a good thod, as long as the offerings are presented, the village chief will be safe."
"Why don’t we make the Snake God the guardian of our village!!"
"Great, finally we don’t have to live in fear."
...
Zhang Hao pressed his hands down and said, "Alright, since everyone agrees with this plan, let’s all lend a hand."
"Tonight, we need to set up the altar, and tonight we must offer sacrifices to the Snake God to ensure peace."
After speaking, the villagers nearby started moving, each extrely proactive, fearing the Snake God might target them if they were late.
Soon, the altar was completed.
In the center of the altar stood a vivid depiction of a giant snake, so lifelike it seed real.
"Cluck--cluck--cluck--"
Below the altar, hundreds of chickens were surrounded underneath, creating a cacophony.
Zhang Hao held a dagger in his left hand, kneeling on a prayer mat, the blade cutting across his right hand, blood flowing from the cut.
Enduring the pain, Zhang Hao put down the dagger, picked up three incense sticks in front, kowtowed, and spoke.
"Honorable Snake God, I lacked the perception to recognize power, unaware of what might have offended the Snake God, causing divine punishnt."
"Now, I am willing to beco the most faithful follower of the Snake God, serving wholeheartedly!"
Zhang Hao kowtowed as he spoke until a blood mark appeared on the ground and a scar on his forehead.
He rose randomly and said, "The ritual is finished, leave all the offerings here, waiting for the Snake God to arrive, let’s go!"
After he spoke, all the villagers scattered, and the area around the altar beca extrely quiet.
In the desolate surroundings, several dark red poisonous snakes slithered out, seeing the confined chickens, they quickly approached them.
Simultaneously, the chickens, upon seeing several dark red poisonous snakes approaching, suddenly quieted down, trying to assu a defensive posture, but sadly, it had no effect.
Soon, a scene of death and injury unfolded.
