Chapter 1 Farewell, but also send-off
After defeating the worms, Emperor Huang Di not only made his hair into a banner decoration, but also made the skin of the worm into a target for people to shoot with a bow, and the rest of the meat was chopped into meat sauce and distributed to his subordinates, who were the ancestors of the cannibals.
The cannibals, as the public enemy of the people of the whole land, cannot thrive and reproduce.
Because, whenever the cannibals are about to prosper, they will attract people of other races to join forces to suppress them, so as to prevent the cannibals from flourishing and ensure the continuation of their own race.
It is for this reason that the number of people in each family is very small within the cannibal family.
In fact, the cannibal clan has been able to pass down from ancient times to the present, not because of their reputation for cannibalism, but because they are naturally fierce and brave.
Hardly any race was willing to provoke them, not even those as strong as the Imperial Race.
And the reason for this lies in the truth of survival of the fittest, which is recognized by the entire cannibal race.
Generally speaking, cannibal pregnant women can conceive sextuplets, with the highest number of twelves in history and the lowest quadruplets.
After the babies are born, the parents feed them all equally, and by the time they are eight years old, they begin the most important life-and-death contest of their lives.
The cannibals refer to it as "Nine Deaths".
It's September 1 again, and this day is the beginning of nine deaths.
The Eastern Regions, adjacent to the Sea of Domain, and above the Sea of Domain, there are countless islands.
Cannibals are the only island that has lived in the Eastern Regions for generations and is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the world is called Cannibal Island, but not all cannibals are on Cannibal Island.
It only has a thin and narrow passage connecting the Eastern Regions, which prevents it from becoming an island, and this passage is called Zhenhai Bridge.
On the other side of the bridge, other races are cautiously guarding to prevent cannibals from coming out to make trouble on the land of the Eastern Regions.
At this time, it was noon, and the fiery red sun was hanging high in the sky, scorching the earth.
The eastern end of Cannibal Island is located in the territory of East Wanluo City.
The patriarch of the cannibal clan, Luo Bingnian, and his clansmen are all standing here, preparing to bid farewell to the children who are about to participate in this year's nine deaths, which is actually a kind of send-off, because I am afraid that there are not many who can come back completely.
These children come from the nine cities on Cannibal Island.
The patriarch stroked his gray goat's beard, and his eyes were full of crying parents and ignorant children, who did not even know that this parting could be eternal life.
"It's noon, send the children off!" Patriarch Luo Bingnian's vicissitudes of life voice spread to every corner.
When the patriarch's voice was heard, the parents who had come to see off their children cried even more fiercely.
However, the clan rules are like this, the clan rules have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, crying is what parents should do, but they will not do anything to stop them, because this is an era of the jungle.
Some of the children also cried, and they realized something from their parents' reactions.
This moment is a sad moment for the whole clan.
For the continuation of the cannibals, all they can do is to sacrifice their offspring.
Luo Bingnian turned around and left, and everyone didn't know how heavy the responsibility was on Luo Bingnian's shoulders.
There is no living thing in the sea.
Everything sank as soon as it entered the sea, and only a ship made of trees on Cannibal Island could sail on the sea.
Three hundred eight-year-olds were coaxed upstairs by their parents and then ran back to their homes crying.
Three hundred when you go, thirty when you come! This is nine deaths and one life!
These children are going to an island called Nameless Island, and it is on this island that they will die, and it will be as short as seven days and as long as a month.
The ship was very majestic, with three floors, each carrying a hundred children, plus ten clan soldiers.
On the sea of the region, the wind and waves are calm, and the building ship sails as if it were walking on the ground, moving quickly towards the destination.
At this moment, in a corner on the third floor of the ship, there was a child with short black hair and a pale face curled up and shivering, and it was obvious that he was sick.
Getting sick is the deadliest of all for the children who participate in the Nine Deaths, and it means that your ability to survive is cut in half, because on that nameless island, no one can guarantee that you will have to spare your attention to survive when you are healthy, and it is also full of dangers, which is difficult to imagine.
"Hey, boy, drink some warm water, don't die before you get there, die on the third floor, it's bad luck to think about it. A soldier of the clan was full of sympathy for the sick Rosie.
Little Rossi looked up, a pair of clear, bright but slightly blank black eyes, his face was pale, and he looked very sick, he took the cup of warm water with trembling hands, and slowly drank it up. The soldier retrieved the glass and shook his head back into the cabin.
Looking at the back of the clan soldier, Rosie slowly buried his head in his chest, revealing the red butterfly-shaped birthmark on the back of his neck.
Ninety-nine pairs of eyes all noticed the sick little Rosie, they knew that their competitor was already one less, and correspondingly, they all kept a certain distance from Rosie to prevent being infected.
Because of this, on the ship, Rosie is the safest, but once on the island, Rosie is probably the first to die, because there will be many people who will try to kill him to obtain his resources to ensure that they can continue to live, there is no doubt about this.
It's just that what everyone didn't notice was that the corners of Little Rossi's mouth gently raised and quickly fell.
"There, if you want to survive, you must be able to endure, you must encounter strong opponents, you must learn to show weakness, and then wait for opportunities to find opportunities, so that you can kill with one blow and cut the grass to the ......roots," his father's words to the four brothers the night before still echoed in his ears.
The domain sea, is the domain of the emperor and the worm of the first war left by the battlefield, the two of them fought here for ten days and ten nights, regardless of victory or defeat, and finally the two temporarily signed a peace agreement, and when the two left, the water from all over the domain rushed in, completely submerged here, so it became the domain sea. - The Ancient Book of the Realm
There is no wind for thousands of years, there are no waves for ten thousand years, only the boat made of the tree of the emperor tree can float on it, and everything else sinks to the bottom of the sea, never seeing the light of day. - The Ancient Book of the Realm
Although the building boat carried more than 300 people, it was still as fast as the wind and as light as an arrow, and it was not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day.
After about half a day's journey, it was already getting weaker, and finally, we arrived at one of the stops on Nameless Island.
Nameless Island, which every cannibal person is familiar with and fears, even people of other races know something about it.
The nameless island, when viewed from above, is a large disc with three gaps evenly around its periphery, and the openings are the island's docking stations.
First of all, the building boat will first circle the nameless island, and dock at the three docking stations for a period of time, and send the children on the third floor of the building boat down in turn.
After that, the boat will stop at the third docking station, waiting for the end of the nine deaths, and then pick up the surviving children and the bodies of the children who are still there, and return to Cannibal Island.
The building boat slowly docked, and the children on the third floor disembarked in turn.
