As the oldest and grand sacrifice in Beast City, the Beast City Sacrifice has an unusual meaning in the hearts of every Beast City person.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the city was still a very small tribe, and the people at that time admired nature and revered the mountain gods, so they held sacrifices every year to worship the mountain gods, eager to be blessed by the gods. At that time, the beast city festival was just a simple sacrifice, and there was no competition like now. Due to the sparse population of the tribe at that time, coupled with the attack of wild beasts and the conflict between the tribes, people kept the bloodline of the strongest person in the tribe at that time, so they would hold a competition in the tribe, and the final winner would be able to get more opportunities to pass on his bloodline. Because the time of the contest and the time of the sacrifice were very close, it evolved into the current beast city festival over time.

Before dawn, there were already many people in the sacrificial square. As the sky became white, more and more people came to the sacrificial square, and as far as the eye could see, it was densely packed with human heads.

"Bell... Clang... With the three bells ringing, the sacrificial square, which was still slightly noisy, suddenly fell silent. The people waited quietly for the sacrifice to begin.

With the ringing of the bell, an old man with gray hair and a rickety figure, accompanied by Liu Xuan, walked to the altar.

All the priests on the altar said in unison, "Welcome the city lord!"

Everyone under the altar also shouted in unison, "Welcome the willow city lord!"

This old man is the high priest of Chaos Beast City, and he is also the oldest person in Chaos Beast City. In Beast City, every High Priest is called a witch. And the priesthood is special and not bound by any of the powers. When the previous high priest dies, the priests elect one to succeed the high priest. Such a recommendation can only be decided by the priests, even Liu Xuan and others can only wait for the results of the election.

At this time, Liu Fan was standing directly below the altar, and next to him were the Jin, Qi, and Tang families. Behind these four forces are the other families of Chaos Beast City, and then there are the ordinary people of Chaos Beast City.

The old man on the altar first glanced at the crowd, and then the old man's voice spread throughout the square

"Beast City Festival, begin!"

As soon as the high priest's voice fell, the dull drum beat sounded, and the drum sound of "Dong Dong" seemed to carry a savage atmosphere, making everyone return to the era of Ru Mao and drinking blood. To the sound of drums, the priests walked to the altar with the sacrifices in their hands, and lined up the sacrifices on several tables.

Under the gaze of the people, the high priest slowly walked to the front of the altar and chanted the ancient sacrifices, and the priests began to chant one after another, and obscure syllables came out of their mouths and spread throughout the square. Even though it was not the first time that many of the priests had heard the priests chanting the prayers, they still felt trembling in their hearts. This is the fear and worship of the gods from the bottom of human hearts.

In the chanting of the priests, Liu Xuan lit nine large incense sticks and inserted them in the incense ding. Nine is the most numerous, and in distant times, it was believed that the number nine was the exclusive property of the gods, so when offering incense to the gods, nine incense sticks would be lit. After Liu Xuan inserted the incense in the incense tripod, he knelt down on the meadow and bowed three times and nine times. As he knelt, the crowd under the altar also knelt down in the square, kneeling three times and bowing nine times.

When the chanting was over, the crowd stood up. A man came up from under the altar and lifted up the sacrifices on the table and brought them to the furnace, where the high priest himself lit a fire and chanted it again with all the priests.

Under the altar, Liu Fan was staring at the raging flames in the furnace, and he kept thinking about a question in his mind: Is there really a god in the world?

From ancient times to the present, legends and stories about gods have been circulating, but has anyone really seen a god? Or is God just the name of the people at that time for their strength? So the end of practice is to become a god?

Liu Fan thought so in his heart.

The flames in the furnace were still beating, but the chanting of the high priest and others had ended. And when the chanting is over, it represents the end of the sacrificial ceremony.

Everyone in the audience looked at the high priest with excitement, and the highlight they were looking forward to was coming!

Seeing everyone's faces, the high priest and Liu Xuan glanced at each other, nodded, and said loudly, "The beast city sacrifice ceremony is over, and the next beast city sacrifice competition will start on time at noon! ”

Everyone marched to the martial arts arena on the south side of the square. The center of the arena is the ring, surrounded by stepped seats. After everyone entered the martial arts arena, they sat on their seats in turn, and in less than a while, the high platforms in all directions were full of spectators, and everyone had excitement on their faces.

At this time, Liu Fan and the others were in the center of the martial arts arena, quietly listening to Liu Xuan's speech.

"In this competition, you can be injured, but you must not shoot too hard, or even take people's lives!" As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Xuan said, "You and others are all the pillars of my chaotic beast city, the mainstay of the future, I don't want someone to shoot too hard! Especially if you have had a personal grudge before, you have to pay attention!" Liu Xuan said lightly, but when he glanced at his eyes with majesty, he actually brought everyone a heavy sense of oppression. Liu Xuan's eyes were so vague that he paused on Liu Fan and Tang Yu, and said, "When one side admits defeat, the other side must not continue to attack." If anyone violates it, you will bear the consequences!"

After Liu Xuanyan stopped, Liu Fan and the others said in unison, "Understood!" Liu Xuan nodded, turned around and walked to the edge of the field. There were already three people in place. One of them is none other than the general of Beast City, Jin Yi's father, Jin Xian. To his left sat an old man with gray hair. This old man has a ruddy complexion, steady breathing, and a calm demeanor. At this time, he was putting his hands in his sleeves, as if he was pretending to sleep.

Liu Xuan looked at the old man and said with a smile, "Elder Tang's body is still so tough." ”

The old man didn't answer, and when Liu Xuan walked in, he slowly opened his eyes, a trace of pain flashed in his cloudy old eyes, and he said lightly, "The old man is old, and he is not as graceful as the city lord." ”

This old man, who looked like an ordinary old man, was none other than the elder of Chaos Beast City, Tang Zhengmao.

And to the left of Tang Zhengmao, there is also an old man. This old man has a clear face, wears a scarf on his head, and looks like a scholar, it is another elder of Chaos Beast City, Qi Xiuru. Liu Xuan walked closer and said, "How is Uncle Qi lately?"

Qi Xiuru smiled and said, "The city lord cares, and the old man has been fine recently." ”

When Liu Xuan was talking with Tang Zhengmao and the others, the fifty-four people on Liu Fan's side had already been divided into five groups according to the previous grouping. Once the five groups are separated, they will compete at the same time. At this time, the high priest was explaining the rules to them

"The game adopts a defensive system, when someone enters the ring, it is the champion, and the people in the audience can challenge the people in the ring to win the champion, and accept the challenge of the rest of the people, until the final winner of each group, that is, the first. It should be noted that the challenge should not be repeated, and when the champion fails or the challenger fails, there is no chance to compete again. Of course, after each round of fighting, there will be twenty minutes to recover. ”

"After the first place in each group is decided, the first draw in each group will determine the opponent to determine the final winner. Since there are five groups in total, one person will be vacated in the end during the draw, and the vacant person will not have to fight, but will directly fight the final winner to compete for the first place. The first three of this beast city festival can all enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but the first can choose three exercises or combat skills, the second two, and the third one. ”

The high priest paused, and said, "Since the person who had a bye before fought for the first place directly, if he failed to win the first place, he would directly miss the top three, and if he succeeded in winning the first place, the original first would become second, and he would move one place backward in turn." Do you understand?"

"Understood!" replied aloud.

After everyone understood the rules, five priests also walked out, each leading a group of people to occupy a place. Soon, the huge martial arts arena was divided into five venues.

Leading Liu Fan and the others was a black-clothed priest, who led everyone to the center of the divided field, and said, "This is the competition venue of your group, and the circle you are in at this time is the ring of the competition. ”

Liu Fan and the others stood in the martial arts arena, quietly waiting for the start of the competition.

Time passed quietly, and noon was slowly approaching...

The voice of the high priest came out

"Beast City Festival Competition, start!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the martial arts arena suddenly became hot

The battle is about to begin!
