Chapter 387 A Large Sacrifice

And so, one by one they sped rapidly down, with Philip being the first to make intimate contact with the ground.

During this rapid descent, his body underwent an astonishing change—his originally three-dimensional figure gradually became flat, as if it had been pressed down hard by an invisible giant hand.

Ultimately, he looked like a monster stripped of its skin, leaving only a husk, which was terrifying.

Fei Bo felt his body getting closer and closer to the ground; he could clearly feel the powerful gravitational pull that was dragging him down hard.

However, at this critical moment, he saw Meros about to touch him.

Fei Bo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Then, without hesitation, Philip opened his mouth and spat out the blood ball he had swallowed earlier.

This blood sphere looked unusually heavy, as if its specific gravity far exceeded that of ordinary objects.

Once the blood sphere was expelled, it plummeted straight down at an astonishing speed, like a released cannonball. Its speed even exceeded the speed at which Philip himself was falling, as if it possessed its own will.

"Tick-tock-"

With a crisp sound, the blood sphere finally made contact with the hard ground.

However, unexpectedly, it was not a simple impact sound, but a strange sound, like water droplets falling on a calm surface of water.

What's even more surprising is that the blood sphere, upon contact with the ground, instantly merged into the hard floor like water, as if the floor were a sponge and the blood sphere were a drop of water.

The moment the blood sphere completely merged into the floor, an astonishing change occurred.

Centered on the point where the blood orb landed, a complex magic circle suddenly lit up around it.

The complexity of this magic circle is simply astonishing; its lines intertwine to form an intricate pattern.

Moreover, the area covered by this magic array is beyond imagination, covering the entire ground.

It can be said that everything visible to Lin Xiyue lit up, which was all within the coverage area of ​​the magic array.

Furthermore, the magic circle contained numerous energy nodes, each teeming with dozens of jellyfish. These jellyfish emitted a faint glow, seemingly using their own energy to guide the entire magic circle to gradually illuminate.

This must be why Fei Bo made those jellyfish scatter earlier. He went to such lengths just to quickly activate this magic circle.

Fei Bo floated up above the magic circle like a light cloud, and then his previously flat body seemed to be infused with a new power, becoming more relaxed.

Each of his tentacles seemed to come alive, dancing nimbly to touch the energy nodes closest to him.

These tentacles seem to be having a subtle dialogue with the magic circle, gently touching the energy nodes as if conveying some kind of mysterious message.

Time passed second by second, and Fei Bo's movements became faster and faster, with his tentacles coming into contact with the energy nodes more and more often.

Soon, all his tentacles touched the energy nodes unevenly, causing his body to form a nearly round, disc-like shape.

Lin Xiyue and Molos, floating high above, witnessed this scene. Lin Xiyue's eyes widened in astonishment. Ling Ye and Guai Guai, not far behind them, were equally shocked by the sight before them.

"What is he doing..."

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to observe Fei Bo's actions more closely, but was stopped by Mo Luosi.

She turned to look at Meros with some confusion, only to see that his expression was unusually solemn, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"He wants to sacrifice the entire city in order to summon his true form to be able to come to Maple Star for a period of time without restriction."

Meros's voice was low and heavy.

"The entire city?!"

"How many people are there in this city?! How dare he say he'd sacrifice the entire city?! He must be insane!"

Lin Xiyue was utterly astonished, and her voice involuntarily rose eight octaves.

"The city has a population of about 50 million, but that's a conservative estimate. Because many people in the slums don't register, we can only make a rough estimate of their population."

Ling Ye, who was standing nearby, overheard Lin Xiyue and Molos's conversation and interjected.

"More than 50 million people... so many lives! How could he be so cruel as to use so many people as sacrifices? This is a nightmare!"

Lin Xiyue's face grew paler and paler, and she murmured in disbelief.

"Can't we stop him immediately? This is far too dangerous! If we can't stop him, more innocent people could lose their lives!"

She turned her head sharply, grabbed Meros's arm anxiously, and asked.

"Of course, but the situation is a bit tricky right now. The magic circle has already started activating, and his sacrificial ritual is progressing. We must hurry and act quickly!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue's question, Moros's expression also became somewhat serious, and he quickly replied.

Before he finished speaking, Meros extended his right hand without hesitation, reaching straight into the black mist that had been swirling around him. In the blink of an eye, his hand seemed to pierce through the black mist, and then he slowly drew out a long, black blade.

"Tell me, I can help."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue was overjoyed and quickly expressed her willingness to help.

"Yes, I can also go and deliver the message so that people outside can come in and help."

Seeing this, Ling Ye quickly echoed, saying that he absolutely had to know these things and would do his best to ensure the safety of the city.

"Yes, the people outside don't need to come in; they have things to do."

Meros looked at it for a moment, then shook his head and said...

"Okay, go ahead, we'll definitely cooperate fully."

Lingye listened and nodded eagerly in response.

To make sure she didn't mishear or misremember, Lingye also turned on the recording function on her device.

He felt this was the safest approach, since the consequences of his own mistake could be severe. Therefore, recording was the best option at the moment.

"This magic circle is gradually lit up with his current location as the center. As the circle expands, the sacrifice will gradually increase."

Meros briefly explained the working principle of the magic circle.

“You’ve already evacuated this area, so there’s not much of a problem for now. Go and notify the people outside to find the energy nodes and try to destroy them before the magic array expands outwards, otherwise this magic array will be difficult to deal with.”

Meros spoke to Lingye in a deep voice.
