Chapter 233: Beast News!
"Still no response?"
Covered in black fur and wearing only a tigerskin apron around his waist, Ouranos paced back and forth in front of the altar, his sharp claws cutting the hard rock floor into long, deep scratches - occasionally he would look up at the altar and ask a question, but it would always be a sacrificial shake.
"Damn, why didn't there be a response!"
"In the past, every time we held a blood sacrifice, we would get a response from the gods, and it never failed!"
A blood sacrifice had just been held on the altar - a tall white bull was tied to the altar with its feet facing the sky, and the heart, liver, and eyeballs were plucked out in turn in the order of the oracle of the god of hunting, Mara, the god of the beast, and placed in front of the bull's head, while the thick blood of the bull filled the altar with intricate lines of magic circles.
In the past, after such blood sacrifices, Ouranos could receive the praise of the gods from the mouths of the sacrificers, although there was no power to bestow them, but it showed that the gods were concerned about the tribe of Ouranos.
However, from a few weeks ago to now, Ouranos has held nearly ten blood sacrifices, and has not received a single response from the gods—which has made Ouranos's rough heart a little uneasy—and he can't help but wonder if he has lost the attention of the gods!
"Mighty Ouranos, don't be impatient!"
"Although we hold blood sacrifices more often than other beast tribes, we are indeed inferior in terms of quality. ”
Perhaps due to the relative proximity of the tribe of Ouranos to human society, although he could often find large animals that could be used for blood sacrifices, in terms of quality, they were indeed inferior to other beast tribes - those beast tribes in the depths of the Gravel Mountains, although blood sacrifices were only held once every few months, were often presented with powerful beasts of exemplary strength!
"Damn, what a greedy god!"
"Let the brothers pay more attention, we need powerful beasts, preferably above qi!"
Receiving the slight mention of the sacrifice, Ouranos immediately understood the meaning, and his ape-like face couldn't help frowning, and even cursed in a low voice.
However, after regaining his head, he immediately issued a new order - after all, for a tribe of beasts, the attention of the gods is necessary - only under the attention of the gods will the tribe be larger and reproduce more smoothly!
And this is also the problem that Ouranos is most concerned about - his tribe is one of the three most powerful tribes among the dozens of beast tribes large and small in the Gravel Mountains, and has fierce competition with the other two tribes - once he loses the attention of the gods, it is easy to lead to the destruction of the tribe.
However, powerful beasts are not easy to find, especially in the vicinity of human tracks, and Ouranos can only wait quietly and pray for the protection of the gods.
And his wait seemed to have some effect, maybe three days, maybe a week—the beasts generally had a poor concept of time—and an uplifting news reached Ouranos through the tongue of a beast hunter.
"Are you sure?"
"On the border of the tribe, near the direction of human land, there is a powerful mythical boar?"
Suspicious, Ouranos glared fiercely at his men in front of him, trying to confirm the truth of the facts with the help of the authority he had established through violence and bloodshed—and the trembling appearance of his subordinates made Ouranos quite satisfied.
"I... OK...!"
"It is indeed a mythical boar, we have already taken the Kronos Sacrifice to see it!"
Fearful of Ouranos, the wolf-headed beastman slowly calmed down after an initial tremor - what were the beasts looking for a powerful beast for, not to please Marat, the god of the hunt.
As for matters related to the gods, even the leader would not be reckless enough to slap his subordinates' heads off - not to mention, the wolf-headed beastman also asked Kronos to go and confirm before reporting to Ouranos. Of course, he also paid a lot of money for it.
"Kronos?"
"Yes, it can be confirmed, it's a mythical boar!"
"That boar is as tall as a bison, so long! The fangs are like two rows of sharp knives, and the hard pine resin armor is on it!"
The fox-headed beast priest Kronos was second only to Ouranos in the tribe, and he sat at the bottom left of the throne of Ouranos in the tribal hall, so just by turning his head, Ouranos sent a question of confirmation to the chief priest of the tribe.
And Ouranos also nodded and gave a positive reply.
"Very good!"
"Gather the warriors of the clan now!"
"We need a grand festival to get the eyes of the gods to refocus on our people!"
Perhaps a beastman could not be trusted, but with the confirmation of the chief priest of the tribe, and the confirmation of other beast warriors that the wolf-headed beast man was not a mythical boar discovered by one person, and that others had witnessed it, Ouranos immediately issued a summoning order.
He had to speed up, after all, it had been months since he had received the praise of the gods—even his position as leader would be shaken for a long time.
............
"Sure enough, it's a mythical boar!"
Although it is unknown why such a powerful beast could be born in an environment close to the human realm, as Kronos recounts, it is a huge boar in size comparable to a bull - due to the huge difference in body structure between pigs and cows, the giant boar is much heavier and more fierce than a bull, not to mention the boar's fangs and heavy rock armor.
Moreover, in this huge boar, Kronos can also feel an aura similar to that of Mara, the god of hunting, - Kronos's tribe once sacrificed a huge dragon lizard of the qi rank, and Mara also personally participated in the blood sacrifice celebration of this dragon lizard, and Kronos sensed the breath of divinity at that time.
Kronus can be sure that such a mythical boar will definitely allow the god of hunting to pay great attention to his tribe - and may even send down great boons, such as increasing the power of Ouranos, or the ability of the entire tribe to reproduce.
However, before the bright future comes, Ouranos still needs to discuss with his men how to capture this huge beast.
"Ouranos Chief, I have a plan here!"
It has to be said that being able to become a sacrifice is a wise person regardless of race, and after just a moment of silence, the fox-headed Kronos put forward his opinion - and won the unanimous approval of the entire beast tribe.
And his opinion is actually very simple - he leads a part of the beasts to dig the trap, and Ouranos is responsible for driving the prey into the trap after the trap is dug.
