The Old Priest looked at his apprentice's icy expression, silently lamenting in his heart that things were going wrong.
He was afraid this girl couldn't accept it, so he specifically didn't tell her that live cubs were needed as sacrifices.
He even instructed the beastmen to keep the cage covered.
Once the ritual was over, just quietly have someone sink the cage into the water.
Now being stared at by his apprentice, he could only steel himself and answer, "Girl, this is a sacrifice, the tradition every year is like this, selecting a pair of strong cubs to offer to The Beast God, praying for the tribe's prosperity and safe hunting..."
Before finishing his sentence, Luna Sutton interrupted coldly, "Who made this rule? Using live cubs as sacrifices, even The Beast God would not agree. Master, for shame! You are a Priest, yet you can do such cruel things."
She looked at the trembling cubs in the cage; their terrified, helpless eyes pricked her heart like needles.
