Chapter 14

Tang San pursed his lips tightly. At this moment, he really felt an urge to rush out. However, Wang Yanfeng's obstruction gradually cooled his boiling blood.

The Wind Wolf Lord was likely a powerful being of the fifth rank or higher, and the High Priest was probably of the sixth rank. If he went out now, he would only be courting death, unable to do anything else. But even if the human slaves here could be described as soulless, they were still his fellow human beings!

When the wolf demons slaughtered humans, it was as if they were killing livestock; in their eyes, humans were even less than livestock.

"Present the offerings!" At this moment, the High Priest's voice rang out again.

Tang San slightly moved his steps, avoiding Wang Yanfeng's obstruction, and looked outside. Wang Yanfeng seemed to sense this, turned his head to look at him, and frowned slightly.

At this moment, the other awakened children were already trembling with fear. Tang San's face also showed signs of shock, which made Wang Yanfeng slightly relieved when he saw his expression. With a quick push of his right hand, he pushed Tang San back behind him.

Although Tang San did not know what position this person held in the Wind Wolf Clan, from his previous assessment of himself and others, as well as his current actions, he at least still had a heart for humans.

Before being pushed back behind him, Tang San saw naked human women being carried onto the platform.

There were ten in total, no doubt these were the offerings the High Priest had mentioned.

Tang San's body was trembling, and he didn't even need to pretend.

Although he had seen many human deaths in the Wind Wolf Town, this direct and large-scale slaughter, so cruel, was the first time he had witnessed it.

Even in his previous life, he rarely experienced such intense anger. As a former Divine King, he believed he had very stable control over his emotions, but at this moment, how could he remain calm?

"Great ancestors! Today, your descendants offer you the freshest blood, please always protect your descendants, allowing our Wind Wolf lineage to grow strong. Offer the blood!"

Accompanied by the High Priest's shrill and howling voice, the throats of the ten human women on the altar were instantly cut, their blood flowing, staining the altar. The piercing howls of the wolves echoed throughout the Wind Wolf Town.

For them, the sacrificial ceremony was a moment of wild excitement.

Nine more people died. Tang San closed his eyes in pain.

At this moment, there was no longer any hesitation in his heart. He wanted to change this world, change everything here, and make humans no longer be treated as livestock, awakening them to overthrow the rule of the demon and spirit races.

In any world, it was a matter of the strong preying on the weak. Only by making humans truly powerful could all of this be changed.

The sacrificial ceremony continued, lasting for half an hour before coming to an end.

Tang San kept his head down throughout, his body seemingly trembling. He did not look at the altar again, just standing silently behind Wang Yanfeng. At this moment, his heart was already incredibly determined. Besides finding his wife, he had taken on a heavy responsibility in this Law World, on this continent of demons and spirits!

After the ceremony ended, the wolf demons dispersed, and Wang Yanfeng turned to Tang San, Ling Muxue, and the other three, saying, "Follow me."

The five of them followed him nervously. Under Wang Yanfeng's lead, they were taken to a house on the west side of the Wind Wolf Town.

The house here was a world apart from the one they had lived in in the village.

It was a two-story house made of wood and stone, with a yard in front, surrounded by a fence made of wooden stakes, enclosing a small courtyard of about a hundred square meters.

Wang Yanfeng pushed open the gate and led the five of them into the yard.

The door of the two-story house opened, and a beautiful woman walked out. Seeing Wang Yanfeng return, she hurriedly walked up and softly asked, "Is it over?"

Wang Yanfeng sighed lightly, "It's over."

The woman lowered her head, her eyes slightly red, "Just these five children this time?"

"Yes. Five more didn't pass."

The woman clearly knew the result of not passing, and lowered her head. Wang Yanfeng embraced her, gently hugging her.

"Come in first," the woman said in a low voice, her voice clearly hoarse.

Under the lead of Wang Yanfeng and the woman, Tang San and the other four were taken into the house.

The house was warm, with a fireplace burning on the wall, emitting a warm and cozy atmosphere. The decorations were simple, but there were tables and chairs, rooms on both sides, and a staircase leading upstairs.

Feeling the warmth of the house, although the four people with Tang San were somewhat at a loss, they were much more relaxed compared to their previous fear.

The woman walked to one side, poured several cups of hot water, and handed them to each of them. Holding the cup of water, Tang San suddenly felt a sense of being human again. Ling Muxue couldn't help but cry softly.

Wang Yanfeng sighed and said, "You are fortunate, but also unfortunate. You have been chosen, and thus have gained a new life. From today on, I will be your teacher. You need to learn from me, and only by learning well and gaining the ability to protect yourselves can you truly survive. In three years, there will be another assessment, and you need to defeat wolf demons of the same age to truly gain the status of a vassal. Otherwise, you have seen what happened to those children today."

He paused for a moment, "I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying, but I will do my best to teach you. From today on, you will live here. Until you pass the assessment and become vassals, you will not have your own house."

He turned to the woman beside him, "This is your teacher's wife, her name is Qiu Jing. We were once like you, experiencing everything that happened today. We survived because we gained the status of vassals. In the next three years, you must work hard to gain such a status, so you will no longer be slaves. Now, go rest. Qiu Jing will take you to your rooms. Boys will share rooms, and this girl will have her own room. Tomorrow, I will start teaching you. Wear this badge, hang it on your body. If you want to go out, always wear it; with it, you won't be treated as slaves."

As he spoke, Wang Yanfeng gave each of them a wooden badge. The badge had carved patterns, and a piece of bone similar to a wolf's tooth, but not a fang, was embedded in it.

Their rooms were all on the first floor, and Tang San was assigned to share a room with a boy around ten years old.

Qiu Jing led them to their rooms. There was a shared toilet on the first floor, and she had them all wash their bodies first. After washing, each of them was given a set of clothes made of rough linen. Although the linen was rough, it was thick and provided good warmth.

After washing, they all went downstairs to eat together.

The food was some root vegetables, simply boiled with a bit of salt, and some cooked meat. For slaves, this was considered a feast. Drinking the meat broth, which was flavorless but fragrant, everyone's mood improved significantly.

However, Tang San noticed that Ling Muxue's eyes were still red and swollen, and her gaze was dull. She only ate a small amount.

Wang Yanfeng asked for their names, and among the five, only Tang San and Ling Muxue had names. The other three did not even have names, only simple titles.
