After hearing the old man's words, it became obvious here that the villager who was released back to the village should be the puppet controlled by the monster, helping the monster swallow the humans in the village.

Looking at the people around him, the old man said bleakly: "So, I said before that the most wrong thing I did in my life was to flatter the monster. If I could be tough at that time, maybe I would be swallowed directly by it. In that case, there would be no future happenings, and I would not be the sinner in the village like now!"

"This time I came as a sacrifice with the intention of atonement. I hope that my death will allow the children in the village to live for more than one year!"

The old man said this and burst into tears. Perhaps, the old man really regretted the fact that he had flattered the monster at the time...

Although the old man said a lot, he heard it in some people's ears and felt that he had not mentioned the key points at all.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man who had been silently listening to the old man's narration gave a wink to a young man beside him.

So the young man immediately asked loudly: "After saying so much, you haven't told us what kind of monster it is?"

The old man looked at this person, hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Actually, the monster has never revealed its true body when he saw us. However, after all, I have been speculating for so many years, but it is hard to say whether it is accurate or not."

"Oh? Then tell me your guess! Maybe we can still think of ways to escape from it!" The young man pretended to be eager to escape from this place, and excitedly urged the old man.

"According to my observation, that monster should be a tiger to become a spirit!" The old man slowly gave the results he had observed over the years.

"Oh? Why do you think that monster is a tiger? Is there any special reason?" the young man asked nervously.

The old man stared at the young man deeply, but this time, he did not answer again.

The young man frowned slightly and wanted to continue asking questions, but after receiving the warning gaze from the people beside him, he shut up honestly.

The young man stopped asking, but someone shouted in dissatisfaction: "At this time, what else do you have to hide? Could it be that you still want to be the lackey of that monster?"

"Although that monster is very hateful, no matter what, with it protecting our village, at least the village can be protected from other monsters. Perhaps, under its rule, it is also a good choice!"

"I said you are undesirable. Can you believe the monster? You have been deeply hurt. Do you still want the descendants of your village to continue to suffer?" Someone scolded him with dissatisfaction.

The person who started to scold him understood that among the people tied to this place as sacrifices, some of them seem to be not that simple. Perhaps, they may not be unable to survive!

Therefore, in order to survive, those people were worried and did not dare to speak freely to avoid attracting attention. He was willing to act as a pioneer to ask for it. In this way, they might be able to guarantee their chances of survival.

When the fight really starts, "useful people" like him who have helped them may receive priority rescue.

Although, because he helped those people ask for information, he might put him in danger, but in this world, danger and opportunity coexist, he is willing to pay some price for it!

"I know what you said is right, but for rural villagers like us, how can there be a perfect pure land in this world? It is already great to be able to do this. At least... we no longer need to worry about the attacks of other monsters!" The old man smiled bitterly and said in this way.

The man who was eager to show "some people" was still waiting to speak again, but at this moment, the middle-aged man who had previously signaled to ask others to speak in person: "I think you have seen something, old man, right? Since that's the case, then I'll just open the skylight and say something bright. Do you really think that monster may keep your village going?"

"I also know that the monster is not easy to meet, but... what else can we do?" the old man whispered bitterly.

The man ignored the old man's words and said to himself: "Old man, you are knowledgeable. I think you should have heard of the word "being accomplice for a tiger"?"

"I did hear this word from my ancestors." The old man nodded, and then asked in confusion: "Is there any problem with this word?"

"I wonder if you have ever thought about what happened to the villager you mentioned before who was released by the monster? I think... you may all think that the man wanted to please him because he wanted to please the 'master' after he defected to the monster, right?"

The middle-aged man looked at the old man who was already stunned on the spot and explained his views very seriously.

"If I was not mistaken, that person would probably be no longer the villager himself!"

The old man was not stupid and soon realized the problem. He immediately asked: "Are you saying... that villager has become a 'complice'?"

"It should be true!" The man continued to disintegrate the old man's heart, "Think about it, the monster on the surface promised you only have one human being as a sacrifice a year, but in secret, he kept a 'mistake'. Are you still hoping that the monster will let the lives of the villagers in your village until now?"

"You mean..." The old man's face changed completely, "It has been coaxing me all the time?"

"So, do you still have to continue to be obsessed with it?" the middle-aged man shouted sternly.

The old man ignored the middle-aged man's question - he stood there in a daze, and could not come back to his senses for a long time!

Seeing the old man like this, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised.

Then, after hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man sneered: "Wake up!"

Suddenly, everyone around them felt excited!

Now everyone clearly realized that the person in front of me was probably a person of great origin.

They may be saved this time!
