The day of the Great Sacrifice soon came.

This year's festival was held in the newly completed Colosseum.

That's right, before the first snow fell, the 20,000-square-meter Colosseum was completely completed.

The speed at which this giant building was built far exceeded Ye Xi's expectations, giving him a big surprise.

You must know that it took 40,000 slaves and eight years for ancient Rome to build the Colosseum, and the primitive people, who were extremely backward in productivity and only had a handful of brute force, took less than a year.

The reason for this is partly because Xicheng has added six new tribes this year, adding more than 20,000 people, and more importantly, because all Xicheng people love this land very much.

Everyone is really working hard to build their own homes.

Ye Xi never urged them, but until late at night, people often used the moonlight to work on the construction site, even the tree people who always liked to go to bed early when it was dark, waving tree silk to help everyone deliver stone bricks, persuading them to persuade or not, and they were full of energy.

So, everybody created this miracle.

This majestic Colosseum is far beyond the level of construction of this era, like a recumbent behemoth, which is breathtaking, and also makes all Xicheng people excited and proud when they see it.

At the time of the Great Sacrifice.

More than forty witches stood in the middle of the magnificent Colosseum in spotless white robes, all of them looking solemn, holding bone staffs, chanting in unison in the flying snowflakes.

The 240 large drums used for the sacrifice were placed in the 240 arches along the wall of the Colosseum, and when they were struck in unison, the drums were deafening like thunder.

In the Colosseum, the thunderous sacrificial drums and loud witch chanting are constantly intertwined and echoed, and the echoes are like waves one after another, and the scene is extremely solemn and sacred.

All the Xicheng people at the scene were infected by the atmosphere, and they clenched their fists excitedly, with tears in their eyes.

This Great Sacrifice reproduced the wonder of the last Great Sacrifice, the White Flame Giant Tower burst into being, the dark green energy storm was wildly condensed, and the Thorny Witch took this opportunity to be promoted to the Great Witch and became the third Great Witch in Xicheng, and the strength of the other Witches was more or less breakthrough.

With the help of the Ancestral Witch Bone Staff, Xicheng has newly inspired more than 2,000 warriors this time.

Because the hunting team has been rectified in the past year, the hunting efficiency has been improved, and more fierce beast cores have been obtained, so everyone has abandoned the hybrid fierce beast core, and the most inferior fierce beast core used is also pure-blood, which makes this group of awakened warriors have higher potential.

The pheasant used a barbarian beast core that Ye Xi gave him privately.

Although she is not a reserve warrior, because she has eaten a lot of good things to enhance her physique, she has also successfully survived the severe pain when the beast core is integrated into her heart, and has become a female warrior with good potential.

In addition to being held at the Colosseum, this year's festival is also different from the past.

When the white flame tower exploded and the snowflakes intertwined and fell on the people's heads, everyone did not happily open their arms to embrace them, and the high sacrifice did not end.

More than 40,000 Xicheng people stood in this grand, sacred and beautiful scene, bathed in flying white flames and snowflakes, and sang the city song of Xicheng loudly.

"May the light of the torch illuminate this vast wilderness!

Gather the human race and work together.

Kill the tiger in the morning and the long snake in the evening.

Take animal bones as knives and turn insect beetles into badges.

The light is steaming, watching the rising sun shine brightly.

Ten thousand years can't drown the glory, and the giant feather insect snake can't break my backbone

The head hung down from the dry bones, looking up at the faith in the heart.

With a roar, the blood was not extinguished, and the fire rekindled in his heart.

No matter how rough the road is, I will not give in!

No matter how many worms there are in the world, I am steadfast!

Face it bravely and never run away!

Roar!Roar!!"

Loud singing echoes through the Colosseum.

After the end, all the Xicheng people did not come back to their senses for a long time, immersed in the special atmosphere of sacred enthusiasm just now, their cheeks were red with excitement, and their bodies trembled slightly.

After this extraordinarily spectacular sacrifice, the six new tribes joined this year are even more heartfelt, proud of being Xicheng people, and also regard Xicheng as their own glory.

......

Ye Xi, who was dressed in a white robe, held the ancestral witch bone staff, stepped out of the Colosseum, which had a warm atmosphere, and walked into the air of wind and snow and cold.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while, he raised his head and called to the top of the Colosseum: "Aori—"

The silkworm girl Aori jumped down from the top.

The Great Sacrifice just now, she has been standing at the top of the Colosseum and watching everyone.

Aori landed lightly on the ground, her long snow-white hair was blown up by the cold wind, the corners of her light silk clothes fluttered, and the shadow of her long eyelashes was cast on Aori's light gray cheeks.

She opened a pair of light-colored eyes and looked at Ye Xi silently.

Ye Xi looked at her thin clothes, paused, and asked, "Isn't it cold?"

Aori shook her head slightly, still not speaking.

Ye Xi looked at her with some sadness.

This year has passed, Aori has matured a lot, and there is no lively shadow of the past, and this maturity is in exchange for homesickness and missing relatives.

Since the beginning of summer this year, Aori has missed her hometown very much, and she is always depressed, sitting on the top of the mountain in a daze in the direction of Mulberry Ridge, no matter how novel things are, she can't show her face.

In the autumn, Aori once mentioned to Ye Xi that he wanted to go back, but Ye Xi ruthlessly refused.

The silk clothes have already been woven, in fact, he should have sent Ah Zhi back a long time ago, but he really can't spare time, it will take a month or two to travel to and from Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, and if something happens halfway, the big sacrifice will be delayed.

After being rejected, Aori never came to Ye Xi again, and he didn't like to laugh or talk.

And now, I am not even afraid of the cold that I used to fear the most.

Ye Xi knew that in addition to missing Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, Ah Zhi was afraid that Ah San, who raised her, would not be able to see her for the last time when she was old, and this kind of anxiety would burn her every day like a fire, so that she would no longer be able to show her face.

Ye Xi was also very guilty and blamed himself, if he hadn't promised in front of the Silkworm King that he would personally send Aori back, he could actually send Pingyao or Ya to escort Aori back.

He looked at Aori guiltily, "...... Do you want to go back now?"

Now that the silkworm ridge has also entered winter, the silkworm girls should all form cocoons and sleep, and after going back, Azhi can't see Asan, so he can only spin silk and form himself into cocoons.

However, Aori said without hesitation, "Yes!"

Ye Xi touched A-Ori's head and said in a very soft voice: "Then Brother Ye Xi will send you back today, the road is cold, now hurry up and add an animal skin coat." ”

Aori's eyes instantly burst into a light of surprise, and his indifferent face became vivid little by little, and he asked softly in disbelief and fear.

"Really?"

Ye Xi smiled and nodded.
