The sun casts endless light in the sky, spreading endless light over the vast land.

On a plain, there was a group of strong men, with thick ropes tied to their shoulders, dragging a huge stone tablet behind them and running as fast as they could.

On the plains, the transportation of the stone monument was not so particular, and a sleigh-like thing was built directly on the ground with giant logs, and the muscular men of the tribe were like those who pulled the sled.

Anyway, it was a group of people who pulled ropes and carried the stele and ran like the wind, leaving two deep plow marks on the plain. On the flat and empty ground, the most beautiful patterns are embellished.

Long Legs also got busy with the clansmen at dawn, and they had to sacrifice their tribe's totem first, awaken the heroic spirits of their ancestors in the totem, and inform them of the news that they were about to become a subordinate tribe of the Fire Tribe.

Then after the totem of the Fire Tribe arrived, they would use the totem of the Deer Tribe as a tribute to participate in the sacrifice to the totem of the Fire Tribe.

When all the procedures were completed, their Deer Tribe really became a subordinate tribe of the Fire Tribe.

This sacrifice was very special, because their previous suzerain, the Tiger Tribe, had their totem destroyed. They have now broken away from the ranks of the affiliated tribes and are now a free tribe.

Now that the Deer Tribe is going to turn into the arms of the Fire Tribe, it will adopt that special kind of subsidiary sacrifice.

As for why this is so, Long Legs doesn't know why, but this has always been a rule that must be followed since the birth of the subsidiary system, otherwise the whole ceremony will not be completed.

The long-legged tribesmen worshipped the tribal totem devoutly, and beside the blazing fire, the priest presided over the sacrificial ceremony with a solemn face. To the huge antlers, he sang a beautiful praise verse in a low tone.

The huge antlers, which have been sacrificed by the deer tribe for so long, have become smooth as black jade, faintly shiny, and their texture is as hard as iron, which is also a miraculous anomaly.

Soon the praise was sung, and then Long Legs explained the purpose of the sacrifice and the causes and consequences of accepting the Fire Tribe as a subordinate tribe.

"May the ancestors bless the deer tribe for eternity!"

Amidst reverent shouts, Longlegs was the first to walk up to the giant antlers. With the black iron dagger that Lie gave him, he cut one of his fingers, and dripped the blood that flowed out onto the huge antlers.

One by one, each tribesman had to do this, and soon, the huge antlers were all stained red by the blood of the deer tribesmen.

But the strange thing is that no matter how much blood they dripped on it, they just didn't see a drop slipping off it.

And after the priest finally dripped his blood on it, the bright red blood on it began to quickly turn black and disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than a moment it returned to its previous smooth black jade appearance, as if the blood on its body had never appeared before.

And the long legs are no longer strange to them, and it seems that this situation is also expected by them.

This is indeed the case, and every three years the deer tribe organizes such a sacrifice. However, the people who participated in the priesthood were not people of deer tribe blood, but foreign women who had joined the deer tribe through marriage during the past three years.

The sacrifice in the tribe was completed, and all the clansmen of the Deer tribe began but had already chosen the address, and began to build the altar for the final sacrifice.

It was a seven-meter-high platform, the final place of the ritual, and the most important place of the festival - where they were to perform sacrifices and announce the heavens and the earth, and the Deer Tribe officially became a subordinate tribe of the Fire Tribe.

The materials used to build the platform were all ready-made, large blocks of stone, huge trees, strong ropes, huge black iron nails and hammers, and some unseen cuboid pottery.

In fact, it was on the construction site of Su Ming's settlement that had not yet been repaired. All the materials were meant to be used for the construction here, and now it's just a temporary use.

Su Ming slowly ran forward with the rope in his hand, and Hei Da also kept running back and forth in front of the team, as if he was checking to see if there were any people who had fallen behind.

They could already see the settlement from a distance, and on the path that was stepped out, Su Ming and the others quickly met the clansmen who were one step ahead. So they slowed down and kept pace with the Horde's larger forces.

Most of the people in the army were women and children, the older children walking on their own and the younger children being led or carried by their mothers.

There were more than 1,000 people walking on this road, and there was a long queue, which was not spectacular in this primitive society.

The rest of the tribe's warriors who were not involved in transporting the stele were heavily armed. They also carry a large number of giant crossbows with them to protect their tribesmen from encountering unexpectedly large beasts along the way.

After seeing Su Ming and them catching up, the team involuntarily let out bursts of shouts to cheer Su Ming and them on.

In particular, some women directly shouted the name of their man to cheer him on, and those who heard the special cheering sound also shouted a louder trumpet to respond.

They directly sang and showed their affection, so that a single dog like Su Ming was instantly critted, and the damage was directly more than 10,000.

Time passes slowly and unconsciously in such a pleasant way. Soon they arrived at the settlement, and Long Legs had completed the construction of the high platform.

However, when they saw the totem of the Fire Tribe, they instantly felt messy. Who would choose such a huge stone tablet as the totem of their tribe, eat too many brain fragments!

Not to mention how to transport such a huge and heavy stone tablet to the high platform, it is to transport it up to the high platform and fall apart directly, which is its only ending.

When Longlegs made a picture of his concerns and showed it to Hui, Hui translated the meaning to everyone. It turned out to be such a small thing, and when I saw him in a hurry, I thought there was something big.

Lie directly arranged for a few clansmen who had been building the foundation of the wall, and directly used the stones on the site to build a stone platform of the same height that could be placed on the stone tablet.

Seeing a stone platform in the hands of the Fire Tribe clansmen, constantly forming at a speed visible to the naked eye, what seemed to him was a difficult matter to be solved.

Through this incident, Long Legs once again felt sincere admiration for the strength of the Fire Tribe, especially their personal strength.

Based on his interactions with the priests of the Deer Tribe, Hui also learned a lot about the tribal totems, especially some of the secret and sacrificial functions that he had never known before.

For example, Hui is about to hold the totem blood sacrifice ceremony now.

The totem blood sacrifice is a kind of blood sacrifice for the tribesmen's totems of their own tribe, through which the totem that the tribe has been sacrificing can be completely turned into a real totem related to the fate of their tribe, rather than a necessary ornament.

In the past, the main duty of the fire tribe priests was to record the history of the tribe and pass on the knowledge and skills accumulated by the tribe.

During the sacrifice, offerings and tributes are placed on the stone platform, and the people are led to sing hymns, recite the sacrificial words, and do simple things like that.

But now, with the new knowledge learned, the priests of the Fire Tribe will take on a more important responsibility and play a greater role.

But it was also in the process of holding the totem blood sacrifice of the Fire Tribe that Long Legs discovered the true situation of the Fire Tribe, a small tribe with a population of just over a thousand and more than half of them children.

But even so, now that they have boarded the ship of the Fire Tribe, looking at those strong and powerful muscular men, and those murderous and hideous weapons, there is no other way to retreat except to continue walking.

They really annoyed the Fire Tribe, and the two sides tore their faces and went to war, and Longlegs believed that the Deer Tribe would be completely removed without any surprise.

So, in the tribal history of the whole world, the strange thing of a small tribe accepting another small tribe as its own subordinate tribe is staged here today.
