After the selection of the Holy Maiden was completed, the sky had gradually darkened, and the elder Haines and the patriarchs of the various tribes had returned to their villages, and Higg was about to return to his residence.

"What are you going back for?" Monica, who had been following Higg, asked curiously, "Aren't you interested in our festival of all the nations?" ”

"Isn't it the end of today?" Higg asked even more curiously.

"The Wang Bang Festival, the Qianbang Festival, and the more fun and lively thing is the bonfire party!" Monica laughed, "Don't you want to participate?" ”

"Bonfire?" Higg shook his head and smiled, "I'm still not participating, it's embarrassing, just me!" ”

"Who said that the bonfire party will be attended by all men and women of the clan!" Monica smiled mysteriously, "If you don't go, I'll go by myself, go back by yourself!" ”

"Men and women participating?" Higg smiled in surprise and asked, "Where?" ”

"There are branches of each tribe, a total of sixty-four venues, you can participate in any tribe at will, or you can go to each tribe to participate in it!" Monica said.

"Which tribe do you belong to?" Higg was intrigued.

"Me?" Monica laughed, "I can only participate in our clan, the Xiangjing Clan!" ”

"Okay, I'm also a member of the Xiangjing Clan, I'll follow you!" Higg looked at Monica's weird smile with a puzzled expression.

……

By the time Sig arrived at the Xiangjing campfire, the sky had completely darkened, and the starry summer sky was obscured by the light of dozens of blazing bonfires on the ground.

The venue of the bonfire party was very lively, crowded with people, and Higg finally met the men of the witch clan, their clothes were very simple, although they were also coarse cloth stripes, but the clothes on the upper body seemed to be tied diagonally, and one shoulder was bare, revealing the strong chest muscles of the upper body, and the dark skin. All the witch women wore the most gorgeous silver ornaments, the latest and brightest clothes, light makeup, thick makeup, and flowers, and everyone's face was filled with a smile of great joy.

The sound of flutes, flutes, suona, and brass drums...... Instruments were beating, players were playing, many were already singing and dancing around the campfire, and men and women were not separated as clearly as before.

Long low tables are surrounded by dozens of bonfires, which are filled with all kinds of nuts, fresh fruits, snacks, wine jars, etc., there are no stools and chairs, they all sit on the ground, regardless of gender, their faces are full of bright smiles, while tasting food and wine, while chatting happily, from time to time there is hearty laughter, sweet singing.

Higg had never seen the people of the witch clan so happy, in his impression, usually all the people are very serious, not like all the people today are so relaxed, what makes Higg feel strange is that such a bonfire party, there are no elder-level people to attend, and there are not many elderly people, and there are no children, probably the traditional customs of this clan, Higg is afraid of being embarrassed, and he didn't dare to ask Monica more.

Monica and Higg sat on the ground casually, as soon as Monica sat down, there were many people around to talk and laugh, Monica was also generous, and everyone who came over knew and didn't know each other, but Higg was in line with the concept of saying too much and not losing, trying not to speak, just eat some snacks, drink some wine, and enjoy the song and dance of the witch clan with the charm of local customs.

There are more and more people, and the people around Hig and Monica are gradually joining in the campfire singing and dancing. The steps of the dance are extremely simple, but the rhythm of the instrument and the rhythm of the singer are extremely coordinated, a simple and rough wonderful feeling. The man's singing voice is full, the woman's singing voice is sweet, and everyone is a sincere smile from the heart, so that Higg is also deeply infected, and gently pats the edge of the table with the tune, humming a minor tune that he has long been familiar with.

"Why don't you jump?" It was too noisy, and with a bright smile on his face, Higg was completely relaxed, blending into the sea of people's happiness, and asked Monica loudly.

"I'll go back later!" Monica blushed and smiled, "What about you?" If you want to go, I'll go! ”

"I'm still going to forget it, I'm not very familiar with dance steps, I'm afraid of jokes!" Higg smiled awkwardly, "You can go if you want, don't worry about me, I know how to get back!" ”

Monica smiled in disappointment, grabbed a handful of nuts, and continued to watch the song and dance, chatting.

Many jumped and danced and walked away from the campfire, but then many came from other places, who, in Higg's view, had come from other tribes.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Monica seemed to have taken a lot of courage and reached out to Higg and asked.

Higg shook his head and said, "I can't dance well, you go!" ”

"It's okay, just feel free!" Monica's smile was a little awkward, and she said again.

"No, I'm just here to join in the fun, you don't have to worry about me!" Higg didn't notice Monica's embarrassment and said, "I'll be back in a minute, you feel free!" ”

Monica looked lost, but she forced a smile and strode onto the dance floor, but Higg looked at Monica's stiff smile with some puzzlement......

It's rare to be so lively, Higg soon forgot about Monica, and still enjoyed the song and dance with high emotions, enjoying the joy brought by rhythm and smiling faces! People come and go, bustling and bustling, and as the night fitness Higg finds that more and more people are leaving, but fewer and fewer people are coming.

"Mr. Higg, may I invite to dance?" A voice came from behind Higg.

"Iona!" Higg turned around and was surprised to find the most beautiful person by his side tonight, and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your victory in the Holy Women's Contest today, hahaha!" I don't know how to do it, so go jump! ”

"It's okay, take your time!" Iona held out her hand and handed it to Sig.

Higg had previously rejected Monica's invitation, which made Monica extremely embarrassed, making Higg feel that it seemed rude to refuse someone else's invitation, so he had to smile and say, "Okay, don't make fun of my dance moves!" ”

Holding Iona's soft and delicate hand, Hig led Iona to the campfire, and the two danced happily to the rhythm of the rhythm and the dance steps he had just learned. The shrine maiden was destined to be the most glorious of the night, and almost all of them cast envious glances at the two of them, drawing bursts of applause, and at first Higg was embarrassed, but quickly got used to everything.

After dancing for a while, both of them were sweating profusely, how could they not sweat in the hot summer, coupled with the heat wave against the roaring bonfire?

"Let's go back!" Iona leaned into Higg's ear and said.

"Go back?" Higg seemed to think it wasn't too late, and actually wanted to linger a little longer, but noticed that something seemed wrong with Iona, so he had to say, "Okay! With that, he took Iona's hand and left the campfire venue and disappeared into the night.

Sig and Iona returned to the cabin, Iona took the wooden basin and fetched water, and washed the faces of Higg and herself, but Higg said, "Iona, you go back, you are very tired today, rest early!" ”

"Go back?" Iona asked curiously, "Where are you going?" ”

"Where do you live, or I'll send you back!" Higg said.

"This is my room!" Iona smiled, "Where are you going to take me back?" ”

"Your room?" Higg was surprised, "You mean, I've been living in your room for the past few days?" ”

"That's right!" Iona closed the door, latched it, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "I'll sleep here tonight!" ”

"Okay, then I'll go find Monica and arrange another room for me!" Higg smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know this was your room!" ”

"You go to Monica, do you know where she is?" Iona untied her turban and tiara, her hair open at three ends, her blushing face looking even more attractive in the candlelight, and then she got up and hugged Higg.

Higg was taken aback and exclaimed, "Iona, what are you going to do?" ”

"What are you doing, sleeping!" Iona chuckled softly, "What do you say?" ”

"Sleep, with me?" Higg pushed Iona away and said in surprise, "What are you kidding?" ”

"You don't like me? You hate me? Iona asked, disappointed.

"It's not!" Higg shook his head and said, "It's not the same thing as liking and hating!" ”

"If you like me, why can't you sleep with me?" Iona's watery eyes stared at Sig.

"But...... But ...... "Higg didn't know what to say, what was going on tonight, why Monica was weird, and Iona was crazy!" "What's going on?"

Iona asked softly, "Since you don't want to sleep with me, why did you accept my invitation to dance, and why did you come back with me?" ”

"Dancing with you, coming back with you, sleeping with you, what's the reason?" Higg was even more surprised.

"This is the truth of the Witch Clan's festival of all nations!" Iona said, "Do you really hate me that much? ”

"No...... No, Iona, I think we had a misunderstanding! Higg hurriedly explained, "I didn't know that there was such a rule on the Wanbang Festival, please forgive me, don't blame those who don't know!" ”

"Don't know?" Iona sneered, "Are you playing dumb? Men and women will gather together during the Wanbang Festival and the Thousand Bang Festival of our witch clan, otherwise, men and women will be separated for many years, and my witch clan will not be extinct? ”

"Really?" Higg couldn't laugh or cry, this is a behavior that only the animal world has, every year when it comes to a fixed season, it will be estrus to mate and reproduce, is it possible that the witch clan is close to nature, and it is so close that even the way of reproduction has to learn from the animals? "Iona, I really didn't know this was the case, otherwise, I wouldn't have accepted ......"

"Won't accept my invitation, will you?" Iona's eyes widened in anger and said, "It's late, you're destined to be my person tonight, the witch woman has the final say!" ”

"But I'm not a witch!" Higg quibbled, "Your rules can't be used to restrain me!" ”

"You really don't want to?" Iona was furious.

"What will happen to this ......," Higg asked, not knowing how to get back?" ”

"For you, there are no consequences!" Iona sneered, tears finally streaming down her eyes, and she turned her back to Higg and said, "For me, especially for the shrine maiden...... You go, I don't want to see you again! ”

"What will happen to you?" Higg asked.

"What does it have to do with you?" Iona sobbed and threw herself at the head of the bed, "Get out!" ”

Higg was at a loss, it seemed that the consequences should be serious, but he couldn't agree, he didn't want to take on any more personal debts, if he and Iona had cause and effect, it would be better to break it off early, so as not to cause too much trouble in the future.

"It's not good—" Higg was alarmed, startled, and hurriedly threw Iona to the bed......

"Boom-" There was a loud bang, and the cabin was split open by a huge bolt of lightning, and the lightning did not stop, and it slashed directly towards the wooden bed, and it was too late for Hig to use the magic shield, and the whole person's body was blocked between the lightning and Iona, and with his own flesh and blood, he was attacked by this magic lightning.
