Chapter Ninety-Six: The First Pass Is Idle
The scale of the Piji tribe is in the middle of the tens of thousands of tribes of the Jingman clan, so the basic number of places for participation is only eight, but because in the last competition, Su Gudong broke into the top 1,000 and won three additional places for Piji, so this time there are a total of eleven young generation men who came to participate in the Barbarian King Festival.
Shi Zhiyi belongs to a foreign tribe and does not occupy the quota of the Piji tribe. In fact, the Jing Barbarian clan has always welcomed foreign races to participate in the Barbarian King Sacrifice, but due to the opposition with the human race, the loss of power of the Sha Clan and the fact that the content of the competition is more biased towards the strength of the Jing Barbarian Clan, etc., no foreign race has come to participate in it for hundreds of years.
However, since Shi Zhiyi came with the Peggy tribe and was a guest invited by the Peggy tribe, his results will be included in the total score of the Peggy tribe.
If Shi Zhiyi can really break into the top 100, then the Piji tribe will get an additional eight places in the next Barbarian King Competition, which is tantamount to a pie in the sky for the Piji tribe with only eight basic places.
Of course, in Su Gudong's opinion, Shi Zhiyi's ability to enter the top 100 is already quite remarkable, and this achievement has only been achieved by three people in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Piji tribe, one of which is the tribe's current great elder Su Guhan.
As for whether Shi Zhiyi could go further, Su Gudong didn't even think about it.
The first to appear on the stage was the youngest Gu Qu. In fact, the age of the Su Gu brothers belongs to the youngest group of all the contestants - the Jingman clan is an adult at the age of twelve, but there are very few clansmen who come to participate in the Barbarian King Sacrifice at the age of twelve, so the purpose of the two of them is to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.
Although Su Guqu had done his best, he still failed without any suspense - the stone stake fell less than half an inch from the ground, and the weight of 1,500 catties had exceeded the limit that a fourteen-year-old Jing Man's boy could reach.
The other ten contestants of the Piji tribe came to the stage one by one, and four of them passed, which was a little higher than the overall clearance rate of the Jing Man clan, and a smile also appeared on Su Gudong's face.
It is worth mentioning that among the four people who passed the level, one of them was only fifteen-year-old Su Gu Lu, although he was one year older than his younger brother Su Gu Qu, but he was still at the bottom of all the contestants, and his promotion was a surprise for the Piji tribe.
Compared with those contestants who barely passed the test in their early thirties, Su Gulu obviously has much more room for development in the future.
After the competition of all the Piji tribesmen was over, it was finally Shi Zhiyi's turn to appear.
Seeing a fair-skinned and delicate Terran boy standing on the stage, there was a buzzing discussion among the Jing Barbarian people watching from the audience.
It had been hundreds of years since a foreign race had participated in the Barbarian King Sacrifice Competition, so the vast majority of them did not know this rule, especially the Terrans standing on the stage who were known for their weakness and cunning in the eyes of the Jing Barbarian Clan, which surprised them even more.
The discussion is getting louder and louder, and occasionally you can hear the sneer mixed in it, after all, the large and small battles between the human race and the Jing Barbarian have lasted for tens of thousands of years, and the relationship between the two races is not harmonious in any way, and no one rushed to the stage to beat Shi Zhiyi at this time, which is already very kind.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd: "He seems to be the Terran who barbecued meat!"
This voice seemed to have magical power, and after it sounded, the originally noisy audience suddenly fell silent.
Shi Zhiyi roasted meat in the Piji tribe for four days, and there were not a few Jing barbarians who had seen him. However, the work of dividing the meat was done by the Su Gu brothers and several other young people from the Piji tribe, so there were not many Jing barbarians who had direct contact with Shi Zhiyi.
What's more, for most of the Jing Barbarian people, the human patriarch is the same, and he can't tell who is who at all. After more than ten days passed, Shi Zhiyi's appearance left a far less profound impression on them than roast rabbits and yellow sheep.
It's hard for the owner of this voice to remember.
The Jing Barbarians are a race with a straightforward temperament and clear grievances. It is true that there are contradictions between the human race and Jing Man, but the young man in front of him has been making them barbecue for four days from morning to night, which is also what every Jing Barbarian has seen with their own eyes.
I don't know who took the lead, but the crowd in the audience resounded with sparse applause and cheers, and then the sound became louder and louder, quickly sweeping around the entire stage like a storm.
Shi Zhiyi looked at this dramatic change, his heart was moved, he saluted the crowd around him, and then walked straight to the stone pile.
Seeing Shi Zhiyi half-squatting, holding the stone stake with both hands, the audience suddenly fell silent, as if he was afraid of making a noise to Shi Zhiyi.
The weight of 1,500 catties is really nothing to Shi Zhiyi now, but he doesn't want to be too easy, after all, most of the contestants failed to pass the test, and he also has to take into account the feelings of these people.
After a few breaths, Shi Zhiyi hugged the stone pile and stood up steadily, the bottom of the stone pile was just over a foot above the ground.
"Pass!" With the shouts of the two referees, the crowd in the audience boiled again. One by one, the Jing Barbarian warriors raised their arms in celebration, as if Shi Zhiyi was a member of their tribe.
Seeing this scene, Shi Zhiyi felt a warm current in his heart, saluted around again, and then walked off the stage.
Su Gudong walked over and patted him on the shoulder, just laughing, but didn't say anything.
"Brother Xiaoyi!"
"Brother Shi!"
Lord Yi Ning and the Su Bone Brothers ran to him at the same time, and said in unison, "You are amazing!"
Shi Zhiyi patted the shoulder of the Su Gu brothers, turned his head and smiled at the county lord of Yi Ning: "Where is this, my task is to enter the top hundred, otherwise I will have to be left as a slave." ”
"Brother Xiaoyi, I believe you will be able to do it! Even if there is any mistake, if they dare to leave you behind, I will let my father ......"
The county lord of Yi Ning originally planned to say, "Let my father and emperor lead troops to rescue you out", but just after saying this, he saw Shi Zhiyi's brows frowning, and realized that he was speechless, so he hurriedly changed his words: "I'll stay with you, isn't it just ten years!"
Before Shi Zhiyi could speak, Su Gudong spoke: "Xiaoyi, you can do your best, even if you really can't enter the top hundred, our Piji tribe will not watch my two nephews' life-saving benefactors being left here as slaves." ”
Su Gudong is a stable person, and this kind of character is rare among the Jing Barbarian clan. He easily doesn't say much, but every word he says is well thought out, and it can be said that he does what he says.
Shi Zhiyi nodded to him and said, "Don't worry, I will work hard." ”
