Chapter 9: The Rite of Blood
"Drive, drive" A group of beggar thieves and horsemen were galloping quickly. The leader is the bald man just now.
"Second brother, they don't seem to be chasing after you," said one of the horsemen next to the bald man.
"The third child, you can't take it lightly. Let's go a little longer and rest a little longer," said the bald man.
"So what do we do now?" The third said anxiously.
"Since they ambushed us, they must already know about the lair on the hill. The old nest can't go back, and Chen Jin of the East China Sea has a relationship with me. Let's go and vote for him," said the bald man.
Everyone called it "No".
"The idea is good, the reality is cruel," a lazy voice came.
"Who?" Which bastard is pretending to be a god. Get out of here," the bald man stopped his horse and yelled.
It's not that he wants to stop. Instead, there were several huge trees in front of him blocking his path. And the giant trees seem to have been broken by a great force.
"Young man, don't be so impatient, hurry to reincarnate!" , a group of people walked out slowly.
The leader was a fat man in a white robe with a collar and a silver unicorn embroidered on his back.
"Who is Your Excellency, is there any misunderstanding, please give way quickly, we are grateful" The bald man looked at the nearly thirty people opposite. And most of them are in good shape. At first glance, you can tell that you are not a person to mess with. However, the clothes on the other side were different from those of the person who had ambushed him just now. It rekindled his hope.
"The old man's surname is Fei Mingxiang, and he is waiting for you here by the order of the lord."
The fat man Fei Xiang's words had just finished speaking, and the bald man hadn't said anything yet. Next to the fat man, a strong man with a white-striped unicorn embroidered on the collar preemptively said: "Boss, what do you have to say to this little bald head!" Killed him directly, and he still wants to go back to see the blood of those cubs? ”。 The strong man's words were immediately agreed by several nearby people with white-veined unicorns embroidered on their collars. After all, going back to see the Blood Rite is indeed better than entangling with these wastes here.
"Shut up, didn't you see that the old man was pretending?" Fei Xiang slapped his palm on the strong man's head, and the people nearby felt pain when they looked at it.
"Don't you think a certain family is very similar to Guan Yunchang in Huarong Dao who captured and released Caozhong?" Fei Xiang touched his mustache and said.
But one of his white-veined subordinates did not cooperate and said: "Cao Mengde did not take Huarong Road. It was Liu Xuande who was ambushed in Huarong Dao. Besides, there is no such fat second brother Guan! ”
A few white lines next to him also burst into laughter. Fei Xiang, who provoked him, made a big fuss. He even chased after the uncooperative subordinate for a while.
And the bald man on the side was angry. On the one hand, he was afraid that the pursuers would arrive, and on the other hand, he was ignored by the group of people in front of him. He said loudly: "The dog thief dares to insult me, but he dares to fight with a certain family."
"Fight with you, okay! Or else! Let's raise the bet and I win?. Your men and horses have gone back with the old man, and you won? How about we let you go? Fei Xiang said with a smile.
The bald man finally agreed, on the one hand, he was not sure to break through the barrier of the group of white-robed people in front of him, and the cavalry without speed was not much stronger than the infantry. On the other hand, he is still confident in his martial arts.
However, the white-veined samurai next to the fat man disagreed. They all asked to play themselves. However, it was suppressed by Fei Xiang.
A moment later, the sun was setting in the west, and the remnants of the sun were like blood. The bald man, missing an arm, fell to the ground. Judging from his face, he must have suffered a lot before he died, and he also had a bent knife in his other hand.
The beggar thieves around him looked at him in horror as if they had seen a monster.
The fat man Fei Xiang licked the blood on the side of his lips and muttered, "Salty, it's really unpleasant."
Then he turned to the beggars and said, "Trash, my lord asked the old man to bring back the war horse, as for you?" Hey hey"
After speaking, Fei Xiang showed a meaningful smile.
“
With a "dang", a weapon fell off the hand of a beggar thief. And then it was like a chain reaction. All the weapons in the hands of the beggar thieves were taken off. All of them immediately rolled off their horses. trembling and trembling on his knees, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter.
"Xiao Wang! The blood ceremony of the old husband and son-in-law is about to begin. The old man went over to see first, what about this group of horses and these wastes? I'll bother you to take it back. Fei Xiang said to a middle-aged man with a beard behind him.
"Okay, Captain Guard, no problem, Captain Guard" The bearded middle-aged man hurriedly said.
Fei Xiang nodded with satisfaction, and then left with his white-veined warriors.
The setting sun stretched their figures, and watching them slowly leave with a smile and a smile, both the white-robed attendants and the beggar thieves felt that they looked a little like demons in human skins.

("Blood, the best aid for the growth of young warriors" - Duke of Blood, "Apocalypse of the King")
The place of the ambush, after the war.
The arbiter, Wang Yan, stood on a large rock, flanked by two military commanders and four Tuntian Simas (one of whom was in charge of guarding the camp).
In front of the arbiter Wang Yan were rows of beggars who had been seriously injured but not killed. And next to the beggar thieves is a row of beggar leaders who are tied up. Many of the leaders of the beggars seemed to understand something, and they struggled desperately and begged for mercy. But it was of no use at all.
"Let's get started!" Arbiter Wang Yandao: .
"Tuntian pawn entered" Tang Jue said hatefully: Yitun, who served as a blocker in this operation, killed five people, including a gang leader, and more than a dozen soldiers were injured in different sizes. It's no wonder that Tang Jue is in a good mood.
One after another, Tuntian pawns walked in. Most of them were immature-faced, and many were pale. Apparently the first or second time on the battlefield. And each Tuntian pawn is followed by a military pawn, who is their guide.
Watching others kill people and killing people yourself are completely different things. Only those who have killed people on the battlefield can be regarded as truly stepping into the battlefield.
The Blood Rite begins, and each of the Tuntian pawns is to kill a badly wounded beggar thief under the leadership of their guide.
Hacking a dead person and chopping a living person are two different things. The dead don't scream. Only by killing the living can we attain true ascension. The next war will be better able to survive.
Not all Tuntian pawns have the courage to complete the Blood Rite. That's when the guide next to them will step up. They will teach them how to pierce the chest of a thief with a sharp blade. The method of education is very simple and crude. Either beating or scolding, if it really doesn't work, he will grab the hands of the Tuntian pawn and assassinate the beggar thief with a sharp blade.
One after another seriously wounded, beggars died. One after another, the Tuntian pawns completed their blood ceremony. Most of them have blue noses and swollen faces, and they are in a trance, and they will recover in a few days. It won't be long before they can become Predators.
It's the turn of the pre-order. The badly wounded beggars have been killed. And his blood ritual is a real living person. Yu Yu's guide was his cousin Yu Yu. looked at the person in front of him, although he had been tied up tightly and his mouth was sealed, he still kept struggling and begging for mercy.
Yu Yu was a little soft-hearted and a little scared.
"Hurry up and stab! Idiot," Yu Yu next to him shouted.
"Pit, you're going to stab that kid!"
"Boy, you're not going to be an eggless! Hurry up! ”
……
There is never a shortage of onlookers in this world, and a group of onlookers have gathered not far away. For barracks that lack fun. The blood rite of the new pawn is obviously a good show.
In the face of everyone's constant ridicule, the beggar thief leader begged for mercy, and Yu Yu's angry roar. Yu Yu's hands kept shaking. There was a bit of mush in my head, too.
Finally, Yu Yu couldn't help it. A slap directly hit Yu Yu in the face. Then he grabbed Yu Pre again, clasped Yu Pre's hands with both hands, and charged forward with all his might. In a sigh from the nearby soldiers, the sharp spear pierced the leader's chest. Look at the life in front of you that is slowly disappearing. Yu Yu shouted frantically. However, Yu Yu is very experienced, and he directly stunned Yu Yu with a backhand slap.
Yu Yu handed over the fainted Yu Yu to Fan Yong, and he needed to rest. He's done with the Blood Rite, and maybe he'll soon be able to become a true Predator.
……
On the hill.
"Father Ji, is this really good? These leaders have all surrendered." "Little Gongjin," Liu Ming said.
"These leaders, staying behind is not conducive to our control of these beggars. We must not leave the hidden dangers behind. It's better to train these recruits to be courageous. Don't be merciful when doing great things. If we want to recover the Huainan Liu family, we must nip these unfavorable factors in the bud," the traverser whose conscience has been eaten by dogs said to Liu Ming.
"No"
"What happened to that Fan Yong I brought your attention?" Liu Ye asked.
"He is really not an ordinary person, not only is he strong in martial arts, but he also seems to be very good at leading soldiers," Liu Ming said.
Liu Ye didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the blood ceremony that was taking place, not knowing what he was thinking.
