Chapter 45: The Bear Tribe (I)
The mountain breeze that passes by the mountains
A smoky sun
Black smoke reaching into the sky
A flame that consumes everything
An ancient tree like a torch
A wolf-running brute
In a narrow and winding gap between two high mountains, dense pits were dug everywhere, and sharp black wooden short spears were densely inserted into it, quietly waiting for the baptism of blood.
Let the people who saw the situation at the bottom of the pit be terrified, their hearts suddenly shivered, turned their heads in other directions, and their feet unconsciously moved to the side, wanting to stay away from the edge of the pit.
On the hillside, there were also groups of tribal warriors who had gathered in groups, all of whom were holding glittering cyan weapons in various styles, including spears, battle axes, sharp swords, long knives, and so on.
The sturdy warriors standing on the side of the hill all sat quietly on stones or dirt with fishing net-like tools made of unknown kudzu vines in their hands.
And others were standing high in the mountains, all looking into the distance, as if they were looking out for something.
"Coming, coming, coming. There are too many to count. Suddenly, the man who had just been watching shouted, waving his hands and running as he shouted. Their voices were filled with excitement.
"Hurry up and prepare, the one who takes the net is looking at the sprinkle, remember to net the big guys, don't catch the small ones. It's rare to have such a good opportunity, don't mess up, big guys. A tall, middle-aged warrior who looked like a leader shouted with a spear with a thick shaft.
"Got it, patriarch, we'll do a good job this time, and we won't let you go back and pay the difference. The table in the council hall isn't your bed, haha—" Hearing the shouts of his leader, some people of his age immediately replied, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Xiong Wu, the patriarch of the Bear Tribe, although he is majestic and mighty, and he is also a powerful totem warrior in the tribe, he is a man who is afraid of his wife.
Since she got married, she has been tightly controlled by his wife, she said one, Xiong Wu definitely didn't dare to say two. For Kitsune was not only his wife, but also a priest of the tribe.
This is the Bear Tribe, a super tribe developed by the fusion of the former Bear Tribe and the Fox Tribe, the patriarch has always been the most powerful Bear Clan, and the priest is the Fox Clan, who is recognized as wise.
The two races of bears and foxes have intermarried for generations, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other. After working together, they eventually became the super tribe, the absolute overlord of this area.
Now the suzerain-master tribe of the Bear Tribe has reached more than 500,000 people, and with the population of those affiliated tribes, the entire tribal alliance has reached more than two million people in total.
They not only have advanced skills in smelting metal to make weapons, but also have the ability to fire bricks, pottery, and porcelain, as well as agricultural production skills such as planting and breeding. The living needs of the entire tribe can be fully satisfied without hunting.
Moreover, they have also established their own tribal cities, as well as a number of totemic warriors who are the essential core conditions of the super tribe.
Every totem warrior is a person with extraordinary ability, they can practice the totem exercises given by the tribal priests, just become a totem warrior can be one enemy hundred, and after practicing the totem exercises, the most powerful of them can do one enemy thousand.
But the conditions for becoming a totem warrior are also very strict, otherwise the totem warrior would not be the core condition of the super tribe.
Loyalty to the tribe to the point of die-hard loyalty is the first threshold to be selected as a totem warrior. Because only by dedicating oneself to the tribe can one accept the transformation of the body by the power of the priest in the tribal totem. It's easy to get by, because that's how they've been educated since childhood.
A strong physique and a tenacious will are another threshold for becoming a totem warrior, and it is also the most important and highest condition. If you don't have a strong physique, you won't be able to withstand the transformation of the body with the power of the priest, and you won't explode and die in the process of transformation, and if you don't have a strong will, you will still be unable to stand it in the middle of the transformation and end the transformation process and become a wasted person.
Therefore, there are very few people who can become totem warriors in the end, just like the current bear tribe, with a total of more than 500,000 people, and a total of more than 100 totem warriors.
Now turning his gaze to the valley, he saw countless beasts, a mixed herd of huge wild beasts, running wildly together.
Especially those predators, the previously difficult and delicious prey is at the mouth, as long as a slight pause, you can eat a meal of rare and delicious prey, but they have no intention of stopping to do it, but just ignore them, just want to escape from here as soon as possible.
The mountain pass where Xiong Wu and the others are staying is a very special mountain pass, the whole is in a figure-eight shape, wide on the outside and narrow on the inside.
Therefore, the already dense herd of beasts, the closer to the mountain pass, the denser it becomes, and when you enter the mountain pass, you are already beast after beast.
At this time, those wild beasts had the upper hand, and they ignored it, raising their huge, thick and powerful feet, and stepping directly on those dwarf beasts.
The little beasts could only feel a shadow suddenly appear in the sky, and they fell towards them rapidly, and when they realized that it was the feet of the giant beast, it was too late to move.
The agility and speed that I usually pride myself on are now useless. I could only see the thick old skin or hard hooves stepping on it, leaving a pool of filthy blood on the ground, staining its usually well-groomed beautiful fur.
The beast that runs in front of it can still move and jump when facing those pits, and avoid them dangerously, but those who are further back can only go straight into the pits, and the ones behind it will continue to fill in.
Until the pit is filled and trampled by other beasts, paving a safe path for other beasts.
But that seemingly safe place, stepped on by those wild beasts, the hidden black wood short spear, directly through the layers of corpses, pierced the limbs of those giant beasts. They have also joined the pit filling industry.
It seemed like an endless herd of beasts, and soon filled the pit that the bear tribe had spent so much effort to dig. And the warriors of the bear tribe, who have been waiting for a long time, have also begun to take up arms and choose their prey.
I saw a totem warrior, holding a huge net in his hand, facing a wild beast that was just about to break out of the narrow mountain pass, the giant bear on his back suddenly emitted a faint red light, and with a throw of both hands, the huge kudzu vine beast net was on its body.
The huge wild beast, the tiny beast net on its body, did not affect it at all, but the beast net was not used to net it like fishing.
Seeing that the net had been netted on the body of the giant beast, the totem warrior ran directly with his weapon on his back, jumped the edge of the hillside, and came directly to the giant beast.
One hand grasped the net firmly to prevent it from being thrown down by the wild beast, while the other removed the weapon from his back. Then identify the weaknesses in the giant beast, such as the major arteries and tendons, and attack fiercely with weapons.
The power of the totem is used for each attack, so that the weapon can be completely pierced into the body of the wild beast. Inside, attack its weak points and kill it quickly.
Otherwise, relying on the strength of his own flesh alone, he may only cut through the defenses on the surface of his body, leaving some small wounds that do not matter.
Perhaps he was a signal, and after he cast his net and began to hunt, the other totemic warriors also began to attack their chosen targets, and for a while the mountain pass was full of flying nets and jumping warriors......
The forest fire in the distance has gradually spread to the mountain pass, and some of the beasts running behind have been partially engulfed by the fire, constantly wailing, and after a while, they fell silent, and the air was filled with the smell of barbecue and an indescribable stench.
Life and death, incense and smell, flight and kill, order and chaos, survival and destruction.
