Chapter Ninety-Four: Sacrifices and Miasma

Guo Sen can't remember how many times he had heard the word "sacrifice".

It seems that this term has been heard too many times from the birdman tribe, and it makes him a little disgusted.

However, when this giant said it, Guo Sen still felt some freshness.

The giants, who fit well with the word "simple-minded and well-developed limbs", don't seem to be a group of reckless men with no IQ as they imagined.

On the contrary, they were able to trade with the armored orcs and learn each other's language, which was really quite a contrast.

Now, he said the term "sacrifice" to someone in the cave, which really surprised Guo Sen.

If there is a sacrifice, it proves that there is also an object of sacrifice, and the most important position, the priest.

Other races can understand, but there is a priest in the giant race......

His outfit ......

The picture was too beautiful to imagine.

Giants who are naturally tall and strong are probably the least suitable for this profession except for those bugs, right?

"Understood, you guys bring those artifacts here!" Guo Sen heard a voice in the cave that seemed to be unusually old, and muttered such a sentence.

It seems that this so-called "chief" is really not young.

Guo Sen's gaze followed the giants who were clutching their leather pockets into the cave.

A dim flame illuminated the vast space, and he immediately saw a giant lying on a pile of furs.

Unlike the giants I saw before, this old guy is much shorter, and his body is very thin, and his whole body is almost covered with skin and bones.

If it weren't for the fact that these giants called him "Leader", Guo Sen would really think that he was a "thin and tall" clan spy who had mixed in with him.

The giants brought the gold to the eyes of the leader, who had already sat up tremblingly, and lowered it to the ground, where they stepped back and sat down on their knees.

"The amount this time is not enough......" The leader said and gasped, Guo Sen saw that he seemed to have no meat except for his surprisingly large abdomen, but his face did not look much different from these giants, not as old as he imagined.

Is this guy sick?

Otherwise, this body shape is really a bit strange.

"Chief, their demands are getting higher and higher, and we are giving them more and more things......" One of the giants said with his head bowed, and a few next to him nodded repeatedly.

"The tears of the god Limutar have flowed on their land, and we can only seek these supreme artifacts from their hands......" the leader said and coughed twice on his stomach, "These are not enough to pray to the god Limutar and remove the miasma from our bodies, quick, hurry up and gather our people again, go find more prey and redstones, and exchange them for the artifacts we need!" ”

"Yes! Chief Chief! ”

The giants got up and turned to walk out of the cave.

And the chief, pressing his stomach with one hand and stroking the gold objects with the other, seemed to be very distressed, and sighed vigorously.

Guo Sen understood something, these giants seemed to want to use gold tools to sacrifice the guy named "Limutar God", begging for the miasma to disappear, so they went hunting and mining to satisfy the material desires of the armored orcs, in exchange for more gold tools.

Speaking of miasma, Guo Sen remembered that he had heard this kind of thing from the previous race before.

The first time was when the White Wolf Clan buried the dead body, the leader said that if the dead body was thrown in the wilderness, a "miasma" would appear, making it impossible for people to get close.

The second time was the Fruit and Vegetable Slimy Tribe, where the leader said that eating meat would cause miasma and cause death, so they considered eating only fruits and plants and vegetables.

This so-called "miasma" is something like germs and parasites.

Primitive people who had a lower civilization and did not yet have the concept of "medicine" could not understand the existence of such a thing, so they would leave the hope of removing the miasma to the "gods" like these giants.

However, this is absolutely unachievable, no matter how much so-called tribute they give.

Of course, it is not excluded that individuals with relatively strong resistance rely on their own immunity to survive fortunately, and those who survive will be even more obsessed with offering sacrifices to please the "gods".

For example, look at the bird-people, who believe in the powerful spiritual power brought by the god "Inut", attribute all success and failure to the gifts or punishments of the gods, and are extremely religious and deeply obsessed with it.

But if they can't resist this miasma and die unfortunately, the primitive people who believe in God will blame themselves for not doing what they should have done, which is why they have come to such an end.

The ignorance of the primitive civilization era is the ignorance of the world, which also gave birth to this primitive belief.

Its production is the beginning of primitive people's fear of nature, and at the same time the germ of a new culture.

Guo Sen looked at the chief who was repeatedly stroking the gold artifact, and at his overly large belly.

The "miasma" that the chief just spoke of should be the thing that caused him to become skinny and big-bellied.

Guo Sen remembered that the chief had just said that it was "the miasma on our body", could it be that there were other people in this giant tribe who had also become this ghost?

He took his eyes off the cavern and looked around.

He found that this vast hilly area seemed to be ruled by the giants.

In and out of caves, large and small, Guo Sen saw more giants.

The total number of them is nearly 1,000 or so, which is really a lot.

Contrary to Guo Sen's imagination, the civilization of this giant race does not seem to be too low.

They possess the skill of making fire and using flames, weaving tools from dry bark and hay, and the dexterity of peeling off animal skins intact.

Sticks made from hard, sharp stone and hard wood were also the most handy weapons they could find, and in order to increase their strength and power, they also obtained gold wire from the armored orcs, which became more powerful when entwined with them.

The giants are the masters of this vast forest, and their presence is a deterrent, so Guo Sen didn't see anything similar to the wooden fence seen by other tribes.

Giants of all sizes, whether they are lifting boulders, waving giant trees, or even chasing prey in the forest, are always showing their presence.

However, Guo Sen also found giants with bones and swollen bellies like chiefs in some caves.

They had the same symptoms, were almost completely unable to move, and many of them looked even more intimidating than the chiefs.

What kind of disease is this so-called "miasma"?

Why are there so many patients at the same time?
