【233】The Hunt of the Brave

"Let's get started. Shen Nong took the lead in the ring and stood at the top of the ring.

Immediately, there were four Huangqiu people carrying a wild boar whose forelimbs and hind limbs were tied together and strode up to the altar, this wild boar was the size of three people, fat and round, covered with hair, because it was caught by someone, it was very resistant until now, and its body writhed desperately, trying to break free from the restraints.

But it was the black rattan rope that bound its forelimbs and hind limbs, and the quality of this thing was so strong that the strength of a wild boar alone could not break the black rattan rope.

So it went well, and the wild boar was carried to the altar and pressed in front of Shen Nong by the four Huangqiu people.

Since it is a sacrifice, it must need sacrifices, and Shen Nong doesn't know why primitive tribes like to use blood as a sacrifice to totems, but since the custom has always been like this, then he doesn't have to do much to change.

When the sacrifice was fixed, Xiong Sickle walked up from under the altar alone holding the silver-white tribal totem, it seemed that he was not afraid of heat, you must know that this tribal totem has always been placed in the ancestral fire, although after taking it out, Shen Nong sprinkled a bucket of water to cool down, but in fact, this does not play much role, if you want to completely cool down a piece of metal to the extent that people can touch it at will, you must throw it into the pool and soak it for a period of time.

However, at this moment, Xiong Sickle was holding the tribal totem very relaxed, and he was not enduring the pain of burning his hands at all, Shen Nong couldn't help but feel very strange in his heart, and subconsciously looked at his hands.

I saw that on Xiong Sickle's hands were condensing two clusters of Qi that were obviously beyond the scale of normal people, and these two groups of Qi were like gloves protecting Xiong Sickle's hands, so that he would not feel burning pain when he held the tribal totem with his bare hands.

Every creature has Qi in its body, people have Qi, flowers and trees have Qi, birds and animals have Qi, fish, crabs, shrimps and shellfish have Qi, but the Qi in the body of each living thing is very thin, and these Qi are born after birth (germination), and there will be no increase in the future, and Qi can no longer enter their (them) body.

However, where there is a difference, there are some gifted people in the group, in addition to being born with more Qi than others, they are also able to absorb Qi from the outside world into their own body, so that more and more Qi in their body is created.

A person who has this kind of talent is a witch.

And a few people are born with it, and some people can do it with acquired efforts, but only a little.

Such a person is a warrior who can survive after receiving the totem brand.

Tribal totem is a very mysterious thing, only the tribe that survived from a very long time ago will have a tribal totem, and the tribal totem is also the key to producing warriors, because the history of the past has passed too long, so no one knows how the earliest group of witches discovered how they used Qi to use witchcraft and totem branding to help would-be warriors become real warriors.

This generation of witches has been inherited, and they only know that the tribal totem can bring some miraculous effects to the would-be warriors.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiong Scythe placed the tribal totem next to the boar's body, and at this time, the most critical step of the totem sacrifice ceremony has also arrived.

I saw Shen Nong take a delicate bone knife from the hand of a Huangqiu clansman, this bone knife was only the length of chopsticks, and then the blade was full of jagged sharp corners, which could be used to make tear-like cuts.

"Today, our tribe once again ushered in the ritual of sacrificing the tribal totem, which also means that our tribe has another clansman who is ready to challenge the threshold of becoming a first-class warrior!" Shen Nong shouted under the altar with a bone knife.

Suddenly, everyone looked at a person standing in the crowd, Shao Hao.

I saw that his face was covered with green plant pigments and black charcoal gray, looking like a camouflage camouflage, he carried a stone spear behind his back, a stone knife in his hand, and a leaf cloak composed of leaves and branches on his body, as if he was ready.

For a quasi-warrior, if you want to hurt the Hybrid Beast, if you can lurk so that the Hybrid Beast can't find out about your existence, and then wait for the opportunity to act and give the other party a sneak attack, this is the method with the greatest chance of causing injuries to the Hybrid Beast.

If the first blow doesn't work, then it will be very difficult for the quasi-warrior to deal damage to the Mixed Blood Beast next, and the difficulty is almost increasing exponentially.

Therefore, in order for this step to be solved at one time, each prospective soldier will disguise himself as able to hide in the forest before setting off, just like Shao Hao is now.

In fact, Shen Nong didn't care about this step at all, if he could let Shao Hao configure a spear launcher, as long as his hands didn't tremble, he could basically casually cause injuries to the Mixed Blood Beast, and then quickly skip this step.

However, Shen Nong clearly underestimated the enthusiasm and reverence of the Huangqiu people for totem sacrifice rituals, and they were very resistant to the cheating weapon of the spear launcher, and everyone wanted to use the weapons handed down from their ancestors in this regard. Since the public opinion is like this, Shen Nong will not say anything more, and let Shaohao decide for himself.

"Shao Hao, let me ask you one more question, do you really want to accept the tribal totem?" Shen Nong asked solemnly.

Everyone looked at Shao Hao expectantly, waiting for him to give that answer, if Shao Hao had not applied to Shen Nong to accept the tribal totem, everyone would not say anything about him, they would only think that he was not ready.

But since this matter was proposed by Shaohao himself, if he temporarily retreated, he would be despised and ridiculed by all the clansmen in the future, which would definitely be a very serious consequence.

"Yes, I want to accept the tribal totem!" Shao Hao immediately replied loudly, and everyone nodded with satisfaction, there are really no cowardly people in the Huangqiu tribe.

The reason why Shao Hao wants to become a first-class warrior is not just for himself, there is also the conquest of Rui and the comparison with that man, as a man's self-esteem, how could he be willing to see that he is not as strong as the man before Rui.

At the same time, he is also for the dead Uncle Shi Li, Shi Li raised him from childhood to adulthood, and what he hopes to see most is that Shao Hao can become a real warrior one day, but this day is now coming.

"Good. Hearing Shao Hao's sonorous answer, Shen Nong also gave up worrying about him at the end, and directly plunged the bone knife in his hand into the abdomen of the wild boar on the altar.

"Whoa!

For any animal, the belly should be a weak part, the cortex here is very soft, and there is no ability to resist attacks, and this bone knife used to participate in the sacrifice was sharpened in advance by the people of the Huangqiu tribe for this sacrifice, it can be said that the blade is sharp, and it is not easy to stab a belly or something.

When he felt the pain in his belly, the wild boar suddenly screamed like a heart-rending pig, and his body was writhing desperately trying to struggle, which was really miserable.

Shen Nong didn't have any pity for it, and directly increased the strength of his wrist, and instantly cut a big hole in the wild boar's abdomen.

Immediately, unstoppable blood gushed out from the boar's wounds, all sprinkled on the silver-white tribal totem.

Something magical happened, the entire tribal totem suddenly steamed out a faint red smoke, and then the silver-white metal surface quickly turned blood red like the clear water pool rendered by red paint.

The messy lines on the surface of the totem all seem to have been outlined by a brush, turning black.

"Go, bring back the Blood-Blooded Beast before the blood in this boar's body runs dry. Shen Nong shook the blood drops on his hands and said to Shao Hao under the altar.

"Yes!" Shao Hao hurriedly turned around and ran towards the northern wall, and Chi Ye, who was standing under the altar, immediately followed, this time he was responsible for taking care of Shao Hao to go out hunting mixed blood beasts.

Watching the two of them climb out of the wall one after another, Shen Nong looked down at the wild boar on his legs, before the totem is branded, the tribal totem must absorb enough blood, and when the color of the totem turns from red to black, and the totem pattern turns from black to white, you can officially start branding the human body, and then it is the most critical and most life-and-death time.

Compared to the totem brand, the difficulty of Shao Hao going out to hunt mixed-blood beasts is simply the difference between a storm and a drizzle.

......

Shao Hao and the two ran fast in the forest, because in the forest near the Huangqiu tribe, there is often a hunting team going out to hunt, not to mention a mixed-blood beast, even a beast is difficult to meet, so in order to be able to find a mixed-blood beast, Shao Hao must go to a place far away from the tribe.

Chi followed Shao Hao not far behind, this time out, he was only responsible for protecting Shao Hao's life safety and the end of the killing of the Mixed Blood Beast, once he found the Mixed Blood Beast, he couldn't interfere, he needed Shao Hao to solve it himself, and when he could leave a scar on the Mixed Blood Beast, Chi could take action. In short, he is the existence of Shaohao's protector.

Although the number of mixed-blood beasts is very large, but in this big forest, it seems a little rare, along the way, Shaohao beasts have encountered many beasts, including carnivorous and herbivorous ones, but there is no trace of the mixed-blood beasts, which can't help but make him feel very anxious, and his forehead is also hot and sweaty.

"Come out, come out. Shao Hao looked around, and said in an extremely low voice.

At that moment, he suddenly stopped his steps, and then, as if looking for something, he bent over and flipped around.
