Chapter 252: Little Treasure
Ye Xi looked around carefully, but he didn't find any gains, and just when he was disappointed, the armadillo chieftain's surprised shouts suddenly echoed around him.
"Witch, look what I've foundโ"
"What did I findโ"
"Got to what-"
The terrain of the underground cave is complex and easy to cause echoes, and the voice of the armadillo chief is everywhere, Ye Xi identified the source of the sound for a while, and then walked quickly in the right direction.
The armadillo chief was not far from him, only more than three hundred meters, and Ye Xi could reach such a short distance in the blink of an eye.
"Wu, you're here!" the armadillo chief greeted with a red face.
Ye Xi snorted, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and his throat tightened.
In front of them was a stalactite platform condensed by several milky white stalagmites, which had been artificially carved and had been polished away from sharp edges and corners, leaving only a smooth plane, almost like a work of art.
And on top of it, there are dozens of fierce beast cores of different sizes and colors, shining like jewels!
None of these fierce beast cores are ordinary, most of the fierce beast cores are the size of a baby's fist, they are obviously barbarian fierce beast cores, a few are even the size of a palm, and the color is extremely pure, Ye Xi suspects that it is a king fierce beast core!
And what surprised Ye Xi the most was not them, but a gray and inconspicuous stone placed in the center of them!
- Witch Stone!
This witch stone really solved Ye Xi's urgent need.
You must know that although Ye Xi has obtained the inheritance of Xia Cang's ancestral witch, this inheritance does not contain direct power, and in terms of his current subtle magic power, it is impossible to help the Xia tribe awaken at all.
Although he is called a witch, in fact, in terms of his current magic power, he is probably not as good as an ordinary witch disciple.
And if you want to increase your magic power, there are only two ways.
One is to meditate all the time. Constantly absorb the power of the North Star and turn it into your own magical power.
There is a planet called Beichen Star outside the sky, which is the source of witch's power. Ordinary people can't see this star with the naked eye, but the annual festival is the time when the star is the brightest and the most powerful, so the general festival is held at that time.
The second is to absorb witch stones. A fist-sized witch stone can be worth ten years of penance, but the witch stone is too precious and rare, and even a tribe usually only has one, and the witch is usually reluctant to use it, because it is placed nearby to meditate, and it often has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
There is a powerful magic power sealed in the bone staff, but this is what Xia Cangzu Witch gave him to use in times of crisis, the number of times is limited, there are only three chances, and it is gone when it is used up. No matter what you say, it is impossible for Ye Xi to use the powerful energy in the bone staff for a great sacrifice.
Now it's okay, it really takes all the effort, with this witch stone, Ye Xi has the confidence to help the Xia tribesmen awaken and become warriors!
Ye Xi asked the spirits and asked the armadillo chief: "Do you know how many days there are left for the big sacrifice?"
No matter what kind of tribe it is in this world, the great sacrifice is on the same day, and the great sacrifice is not only the great sacrifice of one tribe, but also the great sacrifice of the whole world.
"In nine days!" said the armadillo chief, counting the days.
Ye Xi held the witch stone and said loudly: "Okay, nine days later, it will be the day when the Xia tribe will have warriors again." โ
The armadillo chieftain was so excited that his face was flushed, and he rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say, but he kept saying, "Okay." โ
There were so many fierce beast cores on the stalactite platform, and the two of them couldn't hold it with four hands, so in the end, Ye Xi took off the sackcloth and used the sackcloth to pocket them.
The dazzling array of fierce beast cores were gathered into the Mai in a sparse manner, carrying a whole bag of fierce beast cores, Ye Xi had a dizzy feeling of suddenly getting rich.
It felt like a treasure had been suddenly dug up in the ground. Ye Xi now finally understands why so many people like to buy lottery tickets in his previous life, because of the feeling of suddenly getting rich...... It's really so cool for Nima!
Ye Xi reluctantly handed over the "sack" to the armadillo chief, held the tooth knife in his left hand and the bone staff in his right hand, and then walked out of the underground cave.
Outside the cave.
The campfire had become fragmented, and everyone had almost eaten and was picking up the wreckage.
This meal was extremely satisfying, and there were grease stains everywhere on the sides of the mouth, and it didn't stop until the belly was bulging. But there are also some people who have a very bulging belly, but they still desperately stuff meat into their mouths, and the most ruthless stuff is a thin man.
"Exhausted, don't eat, you want to kill yourself!" the person next to him persuaded him.
Biting the meat in his mouth, he said vaguely: "I, I just can't stop, hold me to death, it's quite happy to die......"
"Ah, the witch is out!" suddenly exclaimed the man next to him.
Ye Xi was holding a bone staff in one hand and a tooth knife in the other, shirtless and only wearing a pair of leather shorts, although his image was not good, he was in a good mood.
He heard the conversation between the two just now, and said to the man who was swallowing meat with a smile on his face: "The good days are still ahead, and now you won't be able to eat meat after you die, and you won't be able to participate in the big sacrifice in a few days, and you will awaken to become a warrior." โ
The thin man finally swallowed the meat, but when he heard Ye Xi's words, he was a little dumbfounded, and said in a daze: "The big sacrifice in a few days...... Become a warrior?"
Ye Xi smiled, looked at all the Xia tribesmen and raised their voices: "That's right! Nine days later, the Great Sacrifice, our Xia tribe will usher in the first batch of warriors!"
"Armadillo chief!" Ye Xi turned around.
The armadillo chief immediately understood, stepped forward and put down the "sack" on his shoulder, and spread it out in front of everyone, revealing the colorful beast core like a small hill inside!
In the sunlight, the jewel-like beauty of the beast's core emits a dizzying brilliance.
The Xia tribesmen stared straight at them, and their minds didn't turn.
After a while.
"Wow!!" the skinny man was the first to react, jumping up with a wow, and then slashing at his throat.
"What are you doing?!" the others were puzzled.
Crying with a sad face, he said, "I'm going to pull out the flesh, I'm afraid I'll die......"
A second later.
"Hahaha!"
The scene suddenly erupted in laughter, and everyone pointed at him and laughed at him for being stupid. I didn't get angry, I covered my bulging stomach and laughed with everyone.
Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles, and the suffering of the past gradually dissipated in this laughter.
Ye Xi smiled, and made a rare joke: "Remember to work when you laugh enough, no one is allowed to be lazy!"
"Take advantage of the sun again and dry the meat into jerky. The skin is also slightly tanned, so that when you sleep at night, you can have something to cover so as not to catch a cold. โ
The Xia tribesmen are all ordinary people, and the Xia tribesmen have only eaten less than half of the dozens of long-haired deer, and there is still a lot of venison left.
"Yes, Wu!!" the crowd said in unison.
After the Xia tribesmen were full, they became more energetic, and they worked harder and harder, and their movements were fast and swift, as if they were competing with each other.
Ye Xi knew that they were acting in front of him, so he smiled slightly and didn't poke it. He dragged the black-scaled tiger out and used his newly-acquired tooth knife to dissect the black-scaled tiger.
The barbarian beast was full of treasures, Ye Xi asked people to make a wooden bucket to come out, and after filling the bucket with water, he dripped five drops of the blood of the black-scaled tiger.
The energy of the blood of the fierce beast is huge, when Ye Xi was still an ordinary person, he was hot because he drank the blood of the mixed blood beast unicorn scale horse, and his body seemed to have infinite strength, the blood of this barbarian beast was of course more domineering, and it was not okay if he didn't mix it with water.
Ye Xi beckoned everyone to take turns to scoop water and drink, and after everyone drank a scoop of water with blood droplets, it was like drinking a bowl of spirits, and they were hot and full of strength.
The atmosphere was in full swing for a while, and everyone worked together to finish the work for a while, and they also had the energy to dig a well at the mouth of the cave under the command of Ye Xi.
After a busy day, the Xia tribesmen took turns to fetch water and take a shower by the well, wash themselves cleanly, and then go back to the cave to sleep comfortably.
It was late at night.
The evening breeze was cool, and the flame-streaked fern leaves that emitted a little fire were blown and swayed, quiet and beautiful, quietly blocking all insects and beasts that wanted to enter the cave.
The people in the cave were covered with soft deerskin, smiling at the corners of their mouths, and slept soundly.
