Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 222 : Sacrifice

Wu Feng followed the golden path, and before long, he arrived at the entrance of the majestic temple.

After he turned around and took a look at the people behind him, he raised his hands, placed them on the door, and pushed it open.

Then, without saying a word, he walked in, his figure seemingly swallowed by the darkness inside the temple.

When they saw this scene, Xu Lan and the other cultivators couldn't help but feel a little anxious, worried that Wu Feng would obtain the inheritance before them and they would get nothing.

Thinking of this, none of Wu Feng's followers had the time to stop and think for even half a second.

Without any hesitation, they entered the temple, wanting to chase after Wu Feng.

Based on what they saw in the temple's garden, everyone was originally expecting to see a mountain of treasures once inside, but as soon as they stepped in, they all noticed something strange.

Although everyone stepped into the temple at the exact same time, when they recovered, they were surprised to find that their companions were nowhere to be seen, as if they had gone missing.

"Teleportation...", Xu Lan whispered, and recalling the previous scene, she instantly guessed something.

"Did the temple separate us?", she couldn't help but think.

Her mind moved and she extended her perception, but no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find any signs of other living beings.

Faced with such a situation, Xu Lan instinctively raised her guard, but after she gave it some thought, she felt that this should be part of the test required to obtain the inheritance.

After all, according to her previous experiences, most of the cultivators who chose to leave behind their inheritance were mentally distorted, and they really enjoyed playing such tricks.

Perhaps this was because most of these cultivators were at the end of their lifespan or were seriously injured, and knowing that they would die, they left these inheritances in order to have some fun.

Thinking of this, although Xu Lan remained alert, she was no longer as worried.

"If this is all part of a test, there should be some clues left to help the potential inheritor...", Xu Lan thought and looked at her surroundings.

She had long understood that she was currently in a large hall, a hall that stretched for hundreds of meters, and whether it was the walls, the ceiling, or the floor, they were all made from white marble.

Based on her previous exploration, Xu Lan thought that the entire hall must be empty, but when she raised her head and looked around, she discovered that a small painting was hanging on a wall on the opposite side of the hall.

"Huh? Can this painting escape my senses?"

Curious, Xu Lan moved her legs and stepped closer, feeling that this painting may be the key to the inheritance.

Since she didn't know whether there was any restriction in this place, she didn't dare to fly in the air, choosing to walk there instead.

Even so, it didn't take long for her to arrive in front of the painting.

The painting seemed to possess a strange power that made it impossible for people to look at it when they were far away, and it was only now, when she stood right in front of it, that Xu Lan could finally look at it.

The painting depicted a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her early thirties, whose face was unbelievably beautiful.

Xu Lan felt a little jealous when faced with this woman's beauty, but when she turned her focus to the rest of her body, her expression instantly changed.

"Wh-what is this?", she couldn't help but mutter and she instinctively took a few steps back as if she was trying to get away from the painting.

But even though she stepped back, Xu Lan's eyes remained glued to the swollen abdomen of the woman.

Xu Lan wanted to turn her head, to no longer look at the painting, but her struggle seemed meaningless.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her gaze away, as if the woman's body held a fatal attraction to her.

"No! No!", Xu Lan's screamed in her head and she bit her own tongue with all her strength, allowing herself to wake up for a brief second.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Lan succeeded in taking her eyes off the painting.

However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a faint whisper echoed in her ears.

"Mother? Why are we running away?"

Xu Lan was shocked to discover that this voice didn't come from her surroundings, but from inside her own body.

In horror, she lowered her head and looked down at her body, only to find that her belly had become swollen.

"Puff!"

A tearing sound soon spread throughout the empty hall.

****

In another room hall inside the temple, Wu Feng stood silently in front of a wall, staring silently at the three paintings that hung in front of him.

Each of these paintings depicted a large hall, and in each of these halls, a different person could be seen, standing in front of a small painting.

No matter whether they were male or female, these people's abdomens were bloated, making them appear as if they were pregnant.

Time quickly went by and under under the gaze of Wu Feng, the abdomen of his followers became increasingly more swollen, until finally it was torn from the inside and a creature "climbed" out.

Some of these creatures were covered in dense black scales while others had eerie tentacles rather than limbs, making it obvious that they were not of the same race.

However, no matter their differences in race and appearance, the moment these creatures appeared, they stared at their "father" and "mother" with red eyes, before they opened their mouths wide.

Soon, overlapping chewing sounds echoed in Wu Feng's ears, and coupled with the scenes in the paintings, he felt his scalp tingle.
