Chapter 59: The Great Sacrifice (1)
Finally, the day of the Great Sacrifice has arrived.
On this day, Ye Xi woke up very early, lying on the animal skin, he looked at the black roof of the cave with wide eyes, and touched his left chest with his right hand.
It's a bit fast jumping here.
Ye Xi sat up and exhaled deeply.
Today he will be a warrior.
The scene when he first came to the tribe turned in his mind, and the power of the totem warrior who once made him look up to him was now only one step away from him.
As we approached the entrance to the cave, a gust of wind with moist moisture blew in my head.
Ye Xi was stunned to find that it was pouring rain outside, the earth was shrouded in dense rain curtains, and the water vapor was blown by the wind and kept drifting into the cave.
The entrance to the cave was very lively, and it seemed that all the clansmen had risen up, standing together in a crowded manner, and discussing enthusiastically at the entrance of the cave.
Ye Xi glanced at it and found that the clansmen were all dressed up calmly.
The original straw skirt was gone, replaced by all kinds of animal skin clothes, and it seemed that it had been carefully washed, and the original greasy hair became refreshing, and it was also decorated with bone ornaments, and it rang as soon as it moved.
Everyone was excited, unaffected by the downpour outside the cave.
The cone with bone ornaments all over his body and countless small braids was talking with people with a smile on his face, and when he saw Ye Xi coming over, he hurriedly ended the conversation with others and came over to say hello: "Ye Xi, you are up too!"
Ye Xi nodded, looked at his new hairstyle, felt a little spicy, and silently did not comment.
The cone noticed Ye Xi's eyes, shook his head, and said proudly: "Look at my braids, isn't it very good-looking!" As he shook his head, a large number of bone ornaments falling from the braids rattled.
"This is something that my Eminem spent all morning getting for me!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a white beast tooth thrown off by his swaying movements.
"Ahh
Ye Xi held the beast tooth and looked at the back of the head that was half-crouched in front of him, and was embarrassed.
He studied the hair of the cone, and found that all the bone ornaments were tied with hair, and looked down at the animal's teeth, and found that there was indeed a small hole in it.
Ye Xi threaded his hair into the animal's teeth like a needle, and then tied a dead knot.
"Alright. ”
The cone touched his hair and grinned, "Thank you!"
“...... You are welcome. ”
The cone glanced at Ye Xi's empty, boneless hair, and said enthusiastically: "Ye Xi, I'll help you braid your hair!"
Cone secretly thought, poor Ye Xi didn't have Eminem, and the clan didn't see him get close to any woman, so no one helped him tie his hair.
Ye Xi's face stiffened, looked at the pigtails on the cone and at least fifty bone ornaments on it, and said firmly: "No need." ”
"What's polite to me?"
“...... It's raining so hard today, is there still a big sacrifice?" Ye Xi hurriedly changed the topic.
Cone glanced at Ye Xi strangely: "Of course, how could the Great Sacrifice be postponed because of the rain." ”
At this time, Ye Xi caught a glimpse of the mink standing in the corner, and after saying something to the cone, he walked in the direction of the mink.
In the corner, the mink lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Xi stood in front of him: "Mink." ”
Mink slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Xi without speaking.
There was no trace of sparkle in these eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, and the tattoo of the slave on the cheek was particularly conspicuous.
Although he was taken to Tushan by Ye Xi, he seemed to be the silent slave of the Kurosawa tribe, and his whole person exuded an aura of gloom.
Ye Xi said bluntly: "Do you want to become a warrior?"
Mink's eyes changed suddenly, and there seemed to be flames jumping in his eyes, but he still didn't speak.
"Do you want to?" Ye Xi asked again.
The mink gritted his teeth, his voice was hoarse, and a word was squeezed out from between his teeth with a half-loud sound: "...... Think. ”
He dreams of revenge, longs to be strong, he hates himself for being weak, he hates for being weak, he hates that he doesn't even have the ability to fight back in the face of his enemies, he can only let them trample on the soles of his feet.
But what's the use of thinking about it, even if it's amazingly talented, what's the use! It's already good that the Tushan tribe can take him in, can they still make themselves warriors?
When Ye Xi heard the reply, he stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, spread out his palm, and inside was an emerald green beast core the size of a jujube core.
Mink watched its pupils shrink, and then suddenly looked up at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi smiled slightly: "This is for you." ”
Mink trembled: "...... This is the pure-blooded beast core, the one you killed desperately. What do you give me? What do you use yourself?"
"Take it, I've got another piece. Ye Xi stuffed the beast core into the mink's hand and said softly, "Use it well, make yourself strong, and don't let me regret this decision." ”
The mink clenched the beast core in his hand tightly, and something in his eyes became different at this moment.
“...... Good. ”
At this moment, there was a dense sound of footsteps in the cave.
"It's coming, it's coming!" the clansmen immediately stopped talking and looked at the cave with excitement on their faces.
From the depths of the cave came a group of warriors dressed in costumes.
Ye Xi originally thought that the cones he had just seen were exaggerated enough, but when he saw them, he knew what it meant to be more exaggerated, not the most exaggerated.
The chief at the head wore two horns half a meter long, and on his chest hung the head of an unknown huge white bone beast, and his wrists and neck were covered with heavy necklaces, both of which were made of animal bones and unknown ores.
Behind them were a group of warriors, each of whom was dressed in a very exaggerated manner, and some of them had a number of colorful feathers on their heads, like peacocks on the screen, all kinds of which were dazzling.
After Ye Xi saw their dresses, he looked down at himself in a simple black snakeskin coat, and silently reflected on himself.
The chief's gaze swept over Ye Xi, who was dressed so plainly in the crowd, and his eyes paused before continuing to walk forward.
Ignoring the pouring rain outside, the warriors walked into the rain curtain without pause.
When all the soldiers walked out of the cave, Ye Xi said to Mink: "Let's go too!"
The rain was too strong, and as soon as they walked out of the cave, everyone was instantly drenched in soup.
The rain kept pouring down and flowing into his eyes, Ye Xi squinted his eyes and stood in the heavy rain, brushing the rain on his face from time to time.
Everyone stood neatly in the clearing, both warriors and ordinary people, looking at the cave in unison, as if waiting for something.
No one spoke, everyone stood silently in the rain, all bodies standing straight, especially the warriors, like iron towers cast from steel, exuding a silent momentum in the silence.
Ye Xi saw that everyone didn't speak, and he didn't speak, looking at the cave with everyone.
After a while, heavy footsteps were heard in the cave.
Ye Xi's eyes widened slightly.
I saw ten warriors carrying five super huge drums and stepping out of the cave in turn.
The giant drum is two meters in diameter, so it is no problem for a person to stand on it and dance.
The body of the drum is dyed a uniform crimson with an unknown dye, and it is carved with intricate patterns, which is very beautifully made, and a huge and hideous white bone beast head hangs on the front of the drum body of each drum.
The bones of these beast heads were as white as jade, exuding a faint light, which was by no means comparable to the bones of the mixed-blood fierce beasts.
Ye Xi suspected that these were the heads of pure-blooded fierce beasts.
The drums must have been very heavy, for even the two warriors looked very struggling to carry them together, their faces flushed, the muscles of their arms bulging, and the sound of heavy footsteps with each step.
The rain soaked the ground, the dirt became soft and muddy, and the ankles of the soldiers who carried the drums were stuck in the mud.
Ten warriors lined up the drums, gently placed them on the ground, and then stood quietly behind the drums with their heads down.
Warriors brought logs and stacked them on the ground in a strange way.
Bang la blah.
The rain of beans kept falling, hitting the jungle and hitting the ground, making a noisy crackling sound.
However, Ye Xi found that when the rain fell on the drum surface, there was not even a trace of sound.
Ten breaths later, a familiar figure slowly stepped out of the cave.
That's a witch.
Wu changed into a linen dress as pure white as snow, and his hair was not as messy as usual, he had taken care of it and tied it neatly and smoothly behind his head.
He stepped into the rain without hesitation, holding a bone staff.
"Wu!" everyone saluted to Wu neatly, and their voices were loud.
Wu nodded, looked around at the clansmen, and announced.
"The Great Sacrifice Begins!"
