"If you interfere with our sacrificial ceremony and the Mountain God becomes enraged,"
"none of you will escape the blame. You will all be slain by the furious Mountain God."
"You must understand, the Mountain God can protect us, but it can also inflict severe divine punishment."
"The Mountain God? What's that?"
Lai Yu Yao's brow furrowed, her eyes filled with curiosity and doubt as she pressed for an answer.
"The god who protects Xia Shui Village."
Chang Bailin replied, his face a mask of piety.
Lai Yu Yao was about to speak again but was cut off by Chu He.
Chu He stepped forward,
and said with an earnest expression, "We've been lost in this strange place for a very long time."
"We've just been going in circles, and we only managed to find our way to Xia Shui Village by sheer luck."
"Would it be possible for us to join the upcoming sacrificial ceremony?"
"We truly hope to leave this place safely under the Mountain God's protection."
