Chapter 17: The Great Sacrifice!

Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap, and two months have passed in a blink of an eye.

Thundered!

With a roar of thunder, the sky was overcast after more than four months of rain, and it didn't take long for the rain to pour down.

In the mountains and forests, all kinds of birds and beasts have been looking forward to this heavy rain for a long time, and for a while, the roars and cries full of joy sounded one after another.

In the bamboo tribe, although they no longer worry about the water source this summer, watching the heavy rain coming, everyone is still excited to rush out of the bamboo hut and cheer loudly in the rain.

"Is the summer season finally coming to an end?"

Standing in front of the bamboo house, Lin Luo looked at the grass outside the door that was cheering with everyone in the rain, and whispered to himself.

In this world, the most obvious sign of the alternation of summer and dry seasons is the arrival of heavy rains.

After this heavy rain, the temperature will drop by more than ten degrees, which also indicates that the dry season will officially begin.

And now, compared with two months ago, Lin Luo can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The abundant food every day, coupled with the continuous enhancement of the physique by diluting the blood of the fierce beast, made Lin Luo's originally thin figure become stronger.

Even his height has increased by about five or six centimeters in just two months.

Just a few days ago, Lin Luo also conducted a special test, and with his current physical fitness, there was no problem at all in lifting a two-hundred-pound rock.

Not only that, but also speed, endurance, bounce, agility and other aspects are comparable to world-class athletes.

If you were to participate in the Olympics in modern times, you would definitely be a proper all-round athlete.

After speaking, Lin Luo couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the mountaintop witch's residence.

"The dry season is coming, and the great sacrifice shouldn't be far away, right?"

Lin Luo muttered to himself again with excitement in his tone.

......

The top of the mountain, the witch's dwelling.

Standing at the door of the cave, looking at the pouring rain outside, Wu turned his head to Zizhu and asked, "Ling, when will this year's great sacrifice be held?"

"As in previous years, let's wait until this heavy rain is over, and then prepare for the event immediately!"

The purple bamboo swayed slightly in the heavy rain, and the sound of vicissitudes sounded.

"Okay. ”

Hearing this, Wu nodded lightly.

Then, after thinking about it, he continued to ask, "What about Lin Luo?"

"Give him a spot!"

Zizhu said: "With his heart, even if he can't become a pioneer in the end, he can definitely become a qualified totem warrior." ”

"Well, that's what I thought too. ”

Wu nodded again in agreement.

After getting along for more than two months, Wu also found that Lin Luo's heart was more calm than that of other peers, and he never did anything impulsive.

If you want to live longer in the dangerous wilderness, you must be calm and calm.

......

The heavy rain took longer than Lin Luo expected, and it lasted for three days before the weather gradually cleared up.

As the heavy rain ended, the chief announced to the tribesmen that this year's great sacrifice would take place two days later.

This news was like a bombshell, which made the atmosphere of the entire tribe suddenly warm.

Both men, women, and children, all of them were very excited after hearing the news, and they immediately began to divide the labor to prepare some preparations for the great sacrifice.

In such a warm atmosphere, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the long-awaited Great Sacrifice officially arrived.

Early in the morning, Lin Luo, who was full of excitement, got up early and went to the stream with the grain grass to wash.

But when they came to the stream, they found that there were already a lot of people gathered here.

For the sake of the upcoming big sacrifice, these primitive people, who are usually too lazy to take a bath and don't know what washing is, are rarely washing and dressing up carefully for the first time.

"Lin Luo, you guys are here! Come here, there is still room for space here. ”

Just when Lin Luo looked at this rare scene and sighed, a shout came.

Hearing this, Lin Luo turned his head to look and found that Yong was not far in front, and there was no one around him.

After walking over with Gu Cao, Lin Luo looked Yong up and down.

At this time, the originally messy hair on Yong's head, I don't know how many times it has been washed, it looks softer, and it is deliberately braided into small braids.

And the body was also changed into a set of clean animal skin clothes, and the neck and wrists were covered with various ornaments made of animal teeth and bones.

"How's it going?

Looking at Lin Luo's gaze, Yong asked with a smug smile.

"Good looking. ”

Before Lin Luo could speak, Gu Cao, who was full of envy beside him, had already taken the lead in answering.

At this time, although the straw skirt on Gu Cao's body had been replaced by an animal skin skirt, he did not wear any jewelry.

In the tribe, ornaments such as animal bones are not only beautiful, but also a symbol of great strength, and they are the envy of everyone.

However, Lin Luo obviously couldn't appreciate such an aesthetic, so he simply didn't speak.

And looking at Gu Cao's face full of envy, Yong also seemed very useful, and directly took off a bracelet made of animal teeth from his wrist and threw it to Gu Cao.

"Gu Cao, this is for you. ”

"Thank you, Brother Yong. ”

Stretching out his hands to catch the beast tooth bracelet that Yong tossed, Gu Cao hurriedly thanked him.

Subsequently, I couldn't wait to put it on my little wrist.

Although the beast tooth bracelet is a little too big and doesn't match his small wrist, Gu Cao still likes to keep looking up and down.

"Lin Luo, this is for you. ”

When Gu Cao looked through the beast tooth bracelet, Yong took off a necklace from his neck and threw it to Lin Luo, saying, "You are about to become a totem warrior, how can you not even have a bone ornament." ”

"What a totem warrior, not necessarily. ”

Reaching out to take the necklace that Yong tossed, Lin Luo shook his head humbly.

"It will definitely be done, Wu values you so much, there must be a place for you in this totem ceremony. ”

In the face of Lin Luo's self-humility, Yong was full of confidence in him.

Wu's preference for Lin Luo is obvious to the entire tribe, not only can they enjoy the best food, but they can even use the blood of fierce beasts to strengthen their bodies.

In just two months, Lin Luo's strength was already comparable to that of ordinary warriors.

Although everyone was very envious of this, no one was jealous.

Not to mention that Lin Luo can communicate with spirits, this is a secret that only Wu knows.

The credit for Lin Luo alone for finding a water source in the mountains and completely solving the problem of taking water for the tribe in the summer season was enough for him to receive such a reward.

Hearing Yong's words, Lin Luo didn't pretend anymore, and looked at the necklace that Yong threw with a smile.

The rope of the necklace is made from some kind of tough bark dried and kneaded, and the pendant part is the canine tooth of a wild beast, which looks larger than the canine tooth of a tiger.

For Yong's kindness, Lin Luo did not refuse, and lowered his head and put the necklace on his neck.

Then, he turned his head to Gu Cao, who was still looking at the beast tooth bracelet with affection, and said, "Don't look at it, there will be opportunities in the future, hurry up and wash up first!"

"Hmm. ”

Hearing this, Gu Cao nodded, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

After that, the two squatted down next to the stream, washed their faces, and then took out a few pieces of charcoal and put them on the ground and crushed them with stones.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at the movements of the two, Yong asked incomprehensibly.

"Brush your teeth. ”

Lin Luo replied succinctly.

"Brush your teeth?

Yong was still puzzled.

"It's about whitening your teeth. ”

Gu Cao opened his mouth to explain to Yong, and as he spoke, he picked up the crushed charcoal and put it in his mouth, rubbing his index finger from side to side to demonstrate to Yong.

As Lin Luo's follower, he also learned a lot of knowledge every day by following Lin Luo.

Hearing Gu Cao's explanation, Yong realized that it seemed that the teeth of Lin Luo and Gu Cao were indeed whiter than others.

This immediately aroused Yong's interest, and he directly picked up a piece of charcoal and threw it into his mouth and chewed it with a click, and then followed Lin Luo's example, putting his fingers into his mouth and rubbing it continuously.

For Yong's bold way of brushing his teeth, Lin Luo could only shake his head helplessly.

Knock! knock......

Soon, when Lin Luo and the others finished washing up and were about to leave, a loud drum beat came from the top of the mountain.

Hearing the sudden sound of the drum, all the people of the Bamboo Tribe looked up at the top of the mountain where the drum sounded from.

The Great Sacrifice is about to begin!
