"Nine!"

Hearing the number of totems announced by Wu, an expression of ecstasy suddenly appeared on the chief's face.

"I didn't expect there to be nine this year. ”

"That's great!"

"It's a gift of the Spirit!"

......

In the crowd of the tribe, there was also a whispering discussion, and everyone's face was filled with excited smiles.

"Nine?"

Hearing Wu's announcement, Lin Luo also had a smile on his face.

Unlike the beast spirit tribe that bestows totems with essence blood, the spirit planting tribes give totems through the seeds or fruits of the spirit planters.

The number of totems given depends on the offerings offered each year, and the more sacrifices offered, the greater the number of totems obtained.

In the past, the number of totems obtained by the Bamboo Tribe was between six and eight each year, and it is rare for the number to reach nine as this year.

Wu paused for a moment, waited until the whispering of everyone had subsided, and then continued to speak aloud: "Now start the totem bestowing ceremony! All the warriors who have been selected as reserves will come to the front!"

The Great Sacrifice is divided into two parts, the first half is the sacrificial ritual of bowing to the spirit, and the second half is the totem giving ceremony to the new generation of the tribe.

All the reserve fighters were selected from among the children who had just come of age this year, and the list was announced by the chief himself only the day before the big sacrifice.

And as the voice of the witch fell, the reservist soldiers with excited faces also walked out of the crowd one after another, and all stood at the front of the crowd with their chests held high.

"Lin Luo, you should hurry up too!"

Yong patted Lin Luo's shoulder and said to him.

"Hmm. ”

Lin Luo nodded, and after taking a deep breath, he also walked out of the crowd.

Now, his strength is comparable to that of a full-fledged warrior, and he is naturally on the list of reserve fighters.

In addition to Lin Luo, there were a total of twenty-one reserve fighters who were selected.

This year, in addition to the fact that more totems have been given by the spirit than in previous years, the number of adult children is also the largest in recent years.

In the past, there were only two or three adult children, and at that time, the list of candidates for the totem would also include those ordinary warriors who had already reached adulthood.

After all the reserve fighters had stepped forward, Wu's gaze swept over them and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he spoke: "Now, I have begun to announce the list of totems that can be given by the spirit and become the totem warriors of the tribe, and all the reserve warriors whose names have been read have all stepped forward and stood in front of me. ”

Hearing Wu's words, everyone in the sacrificial square couldn't help but hold their breath.

The reserve fighters standing at the front clenched their fists, their faces full of nervousness and anticipation.

Although there are a total of nine places to become totem warriors, with a super high chance of nearly one in two, they can't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts.

Compared with other people's apprehensions, Lin Luo is much calmer, after all, his quota has already been decided.

"Edge!"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Wu finally began to announce the list.

As the first name was pronounced, immediately a stout teenager with a ecstatic expression on his face took a big step from the ranks of the reservists.

The crowd behind him also burst into shouts of excitement, and his family was equally excited.

"Stone mortar, stomach armor ......"

Wu also did not pause, still reading the list unhurriedly.

As the names continued to be announced, people began to emerge from the ranks of the reserve fighters.

In the crowd behind, excited shouts also continued to sound one after another.

Finally, after reading the eight names, Wu looked at Lin Luo and read out the last name on the list.

"Lin Luo!"

"Whew~!"

Hearing that Wu finally read his name, Lin Luo suddenly let out a long breath.

Although he was quite confident before, as the list continued to be announced, he didn't hear his name for a long time, and Lin Luo was also afraid that Wu would suddenly change his mind and remove him from the list of totem warriors.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't happen.

"Great! Lo is going to become a totem warrior!"

In the crowd behind him, Gu Cao's excited shouts were heard.

Lin Luo also took a step forward and walked out of the ranks of reserve soldiers.

At this point, the list of warriors who have been given totems has been announced!

The reservists who were not on the list also had frustrated expressions on their faces.

After announcing the list, Wu Mai walked to the nine teenagers and distributed the nine bamboo seeds in his hand.

The bamboo seeds are only the size of rice, and they are very similar in appearance, except that they are light purple in color.

"Take it all!"

After distributing the bamboo seeds, Wu turned around and stood back in place and said loudly.

Hearing this, the nine people, including Lin Luo, directly opened their mouths and swallowed the bamboo seeds without the slightest hesitation.

The bamboo seeds entered his throat, and there was no taste, and Lin Luo only felt that it exuded a warm feeling.

After entering the body through the esophagus, the bamboo seed did not go all the way down into the stomach, but traveled in the body and went straight to the heart on the left side of the chest.

"Drumming!"

Wu Lang shouted.

Knock! knock......

Suddenly, there was a thunderous drum sound from all sides again.

At the same time as the drum sounded, the bamboo seeds had also reached the position of Lin Luo's heart, and began to release a strong burning sensation.

"Ahh

The sudden scorching sensation made many people suddenly let out a scream of pain.

Although Lin Luo did not scream, he clenched his teeth in pain, and many fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Knock knock knock......

The drums continued to beat, and the slow rhythm of the previous sacrifice became more and more rapid.

Lin Luo also clutched his heart, feeling that his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and the speed of blood flow in his body was constantly accelerating with the rapid heartbeat.

In addition, as the blood flowed through the burning heart, it suddenly became hot, as if it was about to boil.

Knock knock knock......

The sound of the knock in his ears continued, but Lin Luo gradually couldn't tell whether the sound was a drum or his own heartbeat.

Knock knock! knock knock......

After about five or six seconds, Lin Luo suddenly found that the frequency of his heartbeat was actually in agreement with the frequency of the rapid drum.

It made him a little confused whether the drum was directing his heart rate to increase or whether it was becoming more and more rapid in line with his increasing heart rate.

Knock knock knock......

It didn't take long for the frequency of the drums and heartbeats to rise up a notch again.

"Ahh

Finally, someone could not bear the severe pain and fell to his knees screaming.

On the four sides of the sacrificial square, the four totem warriors who served as drummers were also flushed at the moment, and the muscles on their arms that were constantly shaking were bulging high.

Even as totemic warriors, beating the beast skin drum at such a high frequency made them feel a little unbearable.

Is this totem-giving process so painful?

Lin Luo complained fiercely in his heart.

Although he was still holding on and did not fall to the ground in this severe pain, at this moment his forehead was already bruised, and he couldn't last long.

"Ahh

About four or five seconds passed, and suddenly a loud cry rang out.

However, there was no pain in the cry, but it was full of joy.
