Chapter 439: The Great Sacrifice of the Terran Tribe!
"This is the totem of your tribe?"
Looking at the one-line scar, Lin Luo asked with a shocked face.
The totem of the Terran tribe is undoubtedly completely different from other tribes.
If it weren't for the introduction of the Terran chieftain, even if he saw it, he would have thought it was just a scar.
And such a scar, he had not seen it on the thorn's chest before.
So, according to the Terran chieftain, Thorn is not a totemic warrior yet.
"That's right. ”
In the face of Lin Luo's inquiry, the Terran chief nodded.
Then, he asked Lin Luo out loud, "Lin Luo, what do you think of the spirit?"
"Spirit?"
Hearing this, Lin Luo was stunned again.
He didn't expect that the Terran chief would take the initiative to bring up the topic of spirits.
He simply said: "The spirit is worshiped by the tribe, and it will protect the tribe, give the tribe the power of the totem, and make the tribe strong." ”
"Guardian Tribe?"
Hearing this, the Terran chief suddenly said with a sneer: "They just want to enjoy the offerings of the human race to make themselves strong.
It is no different from those ferocious beasts in the dense forest. ”
After a slight pause, the Terran chief immediately shook his head and said, "No, they are even more hateful and hateful than the fierce beasts!"
Yo, it looks like there's a story!
Seeing the look of gritting his teeth with hatred when the Terran chief mentioned Ling, Lin Luo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"You must have felt it, right? There are no spirits in our tribe, and there are no witches. ”
Before Lin Luo could speak, the Terran chief continued: "A long time ago, our ancestors ......"
With the Terran chieftain's narration, Lin Luo's previous thoughts were also confirmed.
There is indeed a story about why the Terran chieftain hates spirits so much.
This story is not new, that is, a long time ago, when the Terran tribe encountered a great crisis, it was abandoned by the guardian spirit at that time and was almost wiped out.
From that time on, the ancestors of the human tribes began to hate spirits, believing that spirits that belonged to the same category as ferocious beasts were no different from ferocious beasts.
It's just more cunning than the beast!
Their cooperation with humans is only to use humans to strengthen themselves.
So, since then, the Terran tribe has abandoned its original name, no longer looking for new guardian spirits, and wants to live only on the strength of humans themselves.
Apparently, they succeeded!
After sacrificing an unknown number of warriors, they found their own way to obtain the totems, keeping the tribe alive to this day.
Soon, after telling the story.
The Terran chief said to Lin Luo, "Lin Luo, you have to remember that we humans cannot rely on those cunning spirits.
Maybe one day, they will be turned back.
Therefore, if we want to survive, we must rely on our own human strength. ”
"Chief, I don't understand what you're saying. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo had a blank expression on his face.
Of course, he naturally pretended to do this.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts!
This is Lin Luo's summary based on the content after listening to the words of the Terran chief.
But to be honest, Lin Luo still has reservations about this point of view.
After all, there are no absolutes.
Because the ancestors of the human tribe were betrayed by the spirits, they directly classified all the spirits as cunning beasts, which obviously belonged to killing a boatload of people with a rod.
In this world, there are cases where guardian spirits turn their backs on their tribes, and there are also cases where tribes turn their backs on seriously injured or old spirits.
But more often than not, humans and spirits are mutually beneficial, relying on each other, hoping to survive in this dangerous primitive world.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many tribes who choose to make a covenant with the Spirit.
Of course, what the Terran chief said was not entirely wrong.
If he had a choice, Lin Luo would of course hope that human beings would survive on their own.
Just as he had feared, if he relied too much on the spirit, he gradually came to regard the spirit as a god-like being.
Sooner or later, then, human beings will become enslaved to the spirit.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Luo proposed the concept of clan when he formed the tribal alliance.
It is to be able to weaken the influence of the spirit to a certain extent.
However, Lin Luo naturally couldn't say this directly.
He still hadn't figured out what the Terran chief was saying to him for.
So, I simply chose to play stupid.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now. ”
Looking at Lin Luo's blank expression, the Terran chief smiled and said, "It just so happens that our tribe is going to hold a big sacrifice at night, you can stay and watch." ”
"The Great Sacrifice?"
Hearing this, Lin Luo was stunned.
At this moment, he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was being sold in the Terran chieftain's gourd.
You know, the Great Sacrifice is the most important celebration of a tribe.
Even if the Terran tribe didn't have spirits and witches, it would be impossible to invite outsiders to stay and watch so casually!
However, for this invitation from the Terran chief, it was really difficult for Lin Luo to refuse.
Because, when the Great Sacrifice is held, it is necessary to carry out the totem giving ceremony.
Even if the Terran tribe does not have a guardian spirit, they still need to obtain a scar totem in the shape of a slot.
And at this moment, Lin Luo was really curious about how they didn't rely on the guardian spirit to obtain the totem by themselves.
"Good. ”
Therefore, after hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Luo still nodded and agreed.
After seeing Lin Luo's promise, the Terran chief immediately smiled and said, "Then let's go eat something first! Our tribe's great sacrifice will not start until the sun goes down. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Luo nodded in response.
......
In the evening, the sun sets in the west.
As the sky grew darker, the Terran tribe became lively.
In the sacrificial square in the center of the tribe, a large bonfire has been lit.
Although the Terran tribes do not have guardian spirits, like other tribes, they attach great importance to the high sacrifice, and all the tribesmen are dressed up carefully.
"Lin Luo, how do you see my dress?"
Thorn asked Lin Luo with excitement on his face.
At this moment, he had changed into a new yellowish striped animal skin coat, with a three-strand bone necklace around his neck, and two huge canine teeth tied to the top of his head with tough canes.
It was the tusks of the saber-toothed tiger that had been hunted before, and it was directly "freshly baked" and made into a headdress from thorns.
"Very good!"
Hearing this, Lin Luo smiled and nodded.
He already knew that at this great sacrifice, Thorn Thorn was going to obtain a totem and become a real totem warrior.
Among the remaining totemic warriors were Thorn's two companions, Wind Rush and Ge.
This is different from other tribes, and the selection of totems for the Terran tribe is announced before the Great Sacrifice.
Because, the list of candidates for the totem of the Terran tribe is not determined by the witch, but by the assessment.
Before, the saber-toothed tiger they hunted was the target of their team.
This is also the reason why Thorn insists on bringing the saber-toothed tiger carcass back to the tribe even if he is seriously injured.
Even if he came back a day late, he missed the great sacrifice.
As long as they bring their prey back, they can still get the totem.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a dull drum like thunder suddenly sounded.
"Lin Luo, let's go!"
Hearing this drum, Jing Thorn suddenly said to Lin Luo even more excitedly, "The Great Sacrifice is about to begin!"
"Good. ”
Hearing this, Lin Luo nodded in response and walked towards the sacrificial square with the thorns.
