Chapter 25 Tribal Fusion
Three days later.
At the moment when the Eastern Golden Crow shed a ray of golden light, all the tribesmen in the valley of the Xia Tribe walked out of the cave and came outside the cave where Xia Tuo was.
In the front are the totem warriors in the tribe, wearing armor, many of them carry arrow baskets on their backs and hold big bows in their hands.
Behind the totem warrior, there are more than thirty dolls. The naughty little guys, under the instructions of their father and mother, each of them has a tight little face, trying to make themselves look serious.
At this moment, the eyes of all the clansmen were solemn, and there was a kind of fanaticism in their eyes.
totem!
For the vast majority of the tribe, they have lost the protection of the totem since the beast tide a few years ago. After several years of ups and downs, they finally have the protection of the totem.
There is piety in the eyes of one after another, looking forward, his voice is suppressed in the whole valley.
Today, Xia Tuo put on a fine attire, two layers of thick animal fur clothing, making his figure look a little bloated, with a snow-white and bright animal skull on his head, and a scarf hanging around his neck. A necklace made of hundreds of sharp teeth.
He walked out of the cave holding a bone spear made of animal bones, and suddenly there was a low cry from the valley.
Patriarch.
The leader.
...
Call the patriarch.
Among the crowd, Li slapped a teenager on the back of the head.
At the same time, the witch came out from another valley, and the same witch was no longer the gray beast robe of the past, but a wide beast robe with a shiny surface.
There are black lines drawn on the witch's face, which are crooked and invisible, and there is a faint light shining.
Today, we sacrifice totems.
An old and hoarse voice sounded, and an ancient and boundless aura flashed out of the void, which was immediately caught by Xia Tuo. At this moment, his mind twitched violently.
A ray of thought was involuntarily connected with the totem pillar, and he 'saw' a gray-white aura emerging from nothingness.
The totem sacrifice begins.
At this time, the witch's voice sounded again, and the roar of ferocious beasts sounded in the valley. The hunting team headed by Hong dragged a bunch of bound ferocious beasts forward.
Of course, none of these bound ferocious beasts had entered the rock-cracking realm. Each of them was several meters in size, and their limbs were broken.
Sacrifice.
Accompanied by Wu Canglao's voice, Hong stabbed the bound beast with the stone spear without hesitation, and immediately pierced its neck. Along the pulled out stone spear, blood gushed like a fountain, and the erupting old man high.
puff! puff! puff!
Accompanied by the sound, all the nine beasts were stabbed to death outside the cave, and the blood of the beasts gathered together, and the strong bloody smell filled the air, stimulating the senses of all the clansmen.
At this moment, Xia Tuo felt a strong vitality filled the air. He was not familiar with the process of offering sacrifices to the totem, but it did not exceed his expectations.
Take the blood of the beast as a sacrifice to the spirit of the totem.
Although there are quite a few totem warriors in the tribe now, they are still a bit powerless to capture the live beasts of the Rock-cracking Realm. In three days, Hong led people only caught one live beast of the Rock-cracking Realm, and the rest were hunted down. .
Therefore, some ordinary ferocious beasts were caught to make up the number, that is, the nine-headed beasts that were beheaded at the beginning.
The blood flowed from the wound pierced by the nine beasts and gathered together. Xia Tuo suddenly felt a kind of desire in his heart, he longed for the blood in front of him.
A burning heat rose in his consciousness.
fire!
In the void, a ray of blue light flashed out, fell on the nine beasts, and immediately turned into a blue flame.
The runes on the witch's face became brighter and brighter, and the obscure words in his mouth became louder and louder.
The illusory blue flame uses the vitality of the beast as fuel,
Jumping in the void, a hazy figure floated out of the flames.
totem!
At this moment, all the members of the entire tribe were filled with the ups and downs of the blue flames in front of them, and they knelt down involuntarily one by one.
The totem appeared!
Sacrifice.
Before the sacrifice was over, Hong and the others dragged the hunted rock-cracking environment and pushed towards the blue flame. The green flame jumped down, and the beast's body glowed with blood, and the essence of life was extracted from the flesh and blood.
Even though the several stone-cracking beasts were dead, the essence stored in their flesh and blood was still very vigorous, making the blue flames more blazing, and the figure in the shining blue light became more and more clear.
The green dragon dances under its feet, its body is like a mountain suppressing the world, its human body is a bird face, its ears are dangling snakes, standing in the blue light, its eyes are closed, the world seems to have fallen into silence.
A strange wave emanated from the phantom, and at the same time, Xia Tuo let out a low moan like a beast from his throat.
He widened his eyes and saw the blue light spreading out like ripples, covering all the figures crawling below.
After the blue light ripples washed away, an illusory silk thread appeared on every clansman, which was connected with the spirit of the totem in the blue light.
The totem is like a patron saint, deeply imprinted in the hearts of every clansman.
For a moment, he suddenly felt illusory thoughts coming towards him, and a kind of thought of returning to his heart came out. This is the will power that the spirit of the totem needs.
The flesh and blood essence from the ferocious beast was burned by the green flame. As time passed, the blue light began to dim, turning into a circle of light that surrounded the dolls in the crowd. The blue light dispersed like smoke and mist, and merged into the bodies of the dolls. .
Totem blessing.
In an instant, all the clansmen stared at the group of dolls, especially the children's parents, with excitement in their eyes, the totem blessed their children.
A sense of identity overflows among all.
Xia Tuo held the bone spear and supported the animal skeleton that was pressed down on his head. He turned his head and looked towards the totem pillar deep in the cave. At this moment, he seemed to see through nothingness and saw the depth of the totem pillar.
The bloody essence lingering outside the totem pillar was absorbed by the sleeping totem spirit after merging the wish power generated by the clansmen. Although the totem spirit was still silent, it shone with a faint brilliance.
The blue light dissipated, and the blessed little ones staggered one by one, and were hugged by their parents.
Xia Tuo waved his hand to signal the tribe to disperse. He felt that his legs were filled with lead and were very heavy. A sacrifice seemed to have nothing to do with him, but it exhausted his mind.
Up to now, apart from knowing that his life is linked to the totem, he knows very little about the mysterious totem.
And to see all of this, the development of the tribe has become the top priority.
Turning around and walking towards the cave, waving to Hong who was following to leave, Xia Tuo suddenly felt a sense of loss of interest, entered the cave, and fell asleep wrapped in soft animal skins regardless of others.
Even if the sky is falling at this moment, he would rather be crushed to death than move.
Wu walked into the cave and saw Xia Tuo who was sleeping soundly. He turned around and walked out of the cave without making a sound. He ordered the elders to resettle the clansmen, and returned to his cave to continue to study the witchcraft that he had never understood.
...
On the second day, Xia Tuo set up a tent with the animal skin wrapped around his body.
He stretched out his hands from the animal skin, and took out the animal skull with horns from under the animal skin. He said that sleeping with the animal skull was really disgusting.
After sleeping, he figured it out again, don't say anything, just do it.
Even if one's life is not tied to the totem, in such a world, a crisis may occur at any time, and one's life is also on the line, and one day it may be killed by sudden danger.
Anyway, they are all dead, so what are you afraid of.
Walking out of the cave, there was a sound in my ear.
The clansmen who were busy in the valley were fundamentally different from yesterday. This sense of belonging was invisible and intangible, but it really existed.
The totem reveals the holiness, and it even blesses the dolls, which immediately gives the people a sense of hope.
Patriarch.
The deer came to Xia Tuo's side, several steps away, bowed slightly and shouted.
Walk.
Waving his hand, Xia Tuo motioned for the deer to follow him.
First find the Great Elder Rein and let him take care of the tribe's affairs temporarily. After bringing some things with him, he walked out of the tribe with the deer and disappeared into the forest.
...
On a mountain outside the Lu tribe, Xia Tuo looked into the valley in the distance, and could vaguely see figures walking around.
Behind him, the deer stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for his orders at any time.
After the totem sacrifice, more than 800 people in the tribe have been on the right track and are self-sufficient in food and clothing, but they are always in the fog about cultivation, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Not only that, the tribe lives in a deep valley and has little contact with the outside world, which makes the tribe's news blocked, and they don't know the vastness of the outside world at all.
For this reason, he planned to use the Lu tribe as a breakthrough point.
According to Lu, the mysterious person who entered the Lu tribe at the beginning probably came from a powerful tribe, otherwise the Lu tribe would not be so respectful. You must know that he went to the Lu tribe to exchange salt, and the Lu tribe's people have noses on their eyes. .
What treasures do you think the Lu tribe has that you can sell?
Twirling a leaf, Xia Tuo groaned softly.
The deer bowed and stood behind, thought for a moment and said, The patriarch doesn't need to say, it's naturally salt.
Both of them carried a bamboo basket, which contained distilled fine salt, water in a bamboo tube, and some dried meat and potatoes, and a bow was carried on the shoulder of the deer.
All the animal skins and bones obtained by the surrounding tribes spent a lot of effort hunting, and what they got in exchange was salt mixed with a lot of earth and rocks. What kind of powerful existence did the Lu tribe send out so respectfully.
The deer don't know.
Xia Tuo murmured, but he remembered that Wu had said that the Eternal Mountain Range is very large, and there are some powerful tribes inside and outside the mountain range, and even entered the rank. Could it be said that the person who entered the Lu tribe came from another powerful tribe, and even entered the rank? Lower tribe.
Go, go and see the mountain road where you followed the mysterious man.
Squinting his eyes for a moment, he looked at the valley where the Lu tribe was located, and Xia Tuo and the deer disappeared on the top of the mountain.
