StarNovelInherit Billions 2 x 60% **Finished Chapter 230 The Sacrifice "Help me, I'm..." Before she could finish, someone suddenly yanked her by the arm and dragged her towards the fire.
Seraphina never imagined that in her lifetime, she'd be roasted by a bunch of savages who looked like they belonged in a museum.
"No, no, no Help! Somebody, help me!" She screamed as more and more people gathered around her. When she swept her glance across them, Seraphina couldn't identify the fake wild man she had encountered earlier.
She was surrounded by a dense forest. The sky was dark, and the area was pitch black. The wind's distant howling echoed around them, like a beast lurking in the shadows, ready to devour everything in its path. The bonfire blazed brightly. The savages stared at her like a predator eyeing its prey.
They varied in height, but all were shirtless, their bodies filthy, faces painted with various colors, and wearing skirts made of leaves and branches. They looked terrifying and fierce-the very image of savages. -"Hello?" "10000?" ""Hola?" "10000?" She tried sixteen different languages, but the savages didn't react. They were chattering away in their own incomprehensible tongue.
The silence deepened her despair.
Where was the fake savage with the shoes? She wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but amidst the incomprehensible chatter, she suddenly heard a distinct, mocking laugh. It was the kind of laugh that only someone like her-someone from modern society-would make. She quickly looked up and met a pair of bright eyes.

She was freezing. A thought consumed her mind-were they going to roast her alive? "Help!" Her terrified scream echoed as the savages abruptly dropped her to the ground.
Ignoring the pain, she tried to stand up. Then she saw them grab sburning sticks/from the bonfire 1/3 15:32 Mon, Oct 28 TUB.
Chapter 230 The Sacrifice 00 Finished The circle they formed was just the right size-not too big, not too small. Gradually, more and more savages joined, making the circle larger.
They held up their torches, forming a ring around her, dancing and chanting in a bizarre, unsettling manner.
Seraphina's panic grew with each attempt to escape the circle, only to be driven back to the center by the heat of the flames. They wouldn't let her leave.
The temperature soared. The flames were licking her skin, and the thick smoke was making her cough uncontrollably.
Seraphina was frantic, spinning around in circles, utterly clueless about what to do.
Just when she thought she was going to be burned alive, the savages suddenly stopped dancing. Their expressions turned solemn.
All at once, the chanting ceased. It was now replaced by an eerie silence as they all looked up at the sky. The only sound was the crackling of the fire-a chilling, fear-inducing sound.
At that moment, the leader of the savages, who was holding a staff, took a few steps back. That movement created a gap in the circle.
An older woman with a face full of wrinkles stepped into the circle, holding a large leaf.
She looked up at Seraphina and placed the leaf on the ground in front of her. Then she spoke something in a language Seraphina couldn't understand.
The woman pointed at the items on the ground, then at her own mouth, mimicking the action of eating. She then untied the tough branches binding Seraphina's hands and left.
The circle closed back around her.
The crowd watched Seraphina in silence, their eyes glowing like beasts in the dark.

Seraphina glanced down at the leaf held and saw that it held dried meat, fish, and two wild fruits. Her stomach, which hadn't seen food in days, growled in response.
Swallowing her saliva, she grabbed the food and stuffed it into her mouth.
There was no need to worry about poisoning in a place like this; where would they even get such sophisticated toxins? All her manners, her upbringing, and her poise vanished in that moment..
She didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it tasted surprisingly good-salty and flavorful though lacking in seasoning. Still, it was probably the best meal she had ever had. The savages watched her devour the food with satisfaction. 2/3 15.32 Mon, Oct 28 Chapter 230 The Sacrifice Suddenly, before Seraphina could react, they threw their torches to the ground.
In an instant, the flames formed a ring around her. She was trapped in a circle of fire.
