Chapter 60: The Great Sacrifice (2)
Ten warriors standing by the drum took out twenty huge white bones out of nowhere.
With Wu's order, ten warriors neatly picked up the giant bones and struck them vigorously on the drum surface.
Boom!
The drum made a heavy, distant muffled sound.
Boom!
Ye Xi felt that his heart seemed to tremble heavily with the sound of the drum.
Knock! Knock!
And that was just the beginning, and then the drums started to get denser.
The ten drummers were burly and majestic, and they seemed to use all their strength to play the drums, shaking their arms violently, their exaggerated muscles bulging like stones, washed by the rain, and looking shiny and slippery.
To the rhythm of the drums, their heads are flailing rhythmically, the braids on their hair are flicking with them, and the intricate bone ornaments rattle.
The whole performance exudes the taste of raw savagery.
Knock! Knock!
Ye Xi felt that his heart was also trembling with the beat of the drum.
He touched his chest and was horrified to find that it was not his delusion. The heart rate has really changed!
Knock knock! knock knock!
The drums became more and more rapid and loud, and the warriors of the hammer and drum struck with the white bone hammer so hard that their faces turned red, and their necks bulged like snakes, as if they were very laborious.
Ye Xi felt that his heart was beating more and more rapidly, and with the rapid heartbeat, the blood also became boiling, and he looked at the soldiers who were hammering in the rain, and there seemed to be something in the blood that was about to spew out.
At this time, the witch began to chant.
Wu closed his eyes, his face slightly raised in the direction of the sky.
The jerky and mysterious witch language was not drowned out by the sound of drums and rain, and resounded in the ears of every Tushan people.
At this time, except for Ye Xi, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the pile of logs placed in the center.
Ye Xi wondered slightly, what is this pile of logs used for? It can't be used to make a bonfire.
Because this wood is a whole piece, it has not been chopped at all, how can this kind of wood make a fire? Not to mention that the rain was still so heavy that even if a tent was set up on it, the fire could be extinguished by the water vapor that poured in.
Just thinking about this, I saw a pinch of white flame rise from the center of the log pile in the next second.
Ye Xi was taken aback.
He blinked heavily, blinking the rain from his eyelashes, and found that there was indeed a flame rising from the pile of logs, and it was white!
A flame was born out of thin air!
The flame was not big, only the size of a palm, swaying slightly in the overwhelming rain, as if it could be extinguished at any time, and it was pitifully weak.
Wu continued to chant.
The rain hit Wu Cang's cheeks mercilessly, and sank into his gray hair.
Whoa!
A gust of wind blew, and the rain suddenly fell heavier, and thunder rumbled overhead.
Heavy rain turned into a storm.
Ye Xi was so beaten by the torrential rain that he could barely open his eyes, and there was a white expanse everywhere in front of him, and the earth seemed to be flooded by the torrential rain.
He looked worriedly at the pile of logs, lest the little flame would be extinguished by the rain.
But seeing the white flame swaying slightly, it seemed that he was not afraid of the overwhelming rainstorm at all, and the flame body even became bigger.
Knock knock! Knock knock!
The drums beat loudly, covering out the rumbling thunder overhead.
Ye Xi looked at them.
In the heavy rain, the sound of the sacrifice became more and more magnificent.
If it weren't for the sacrificial ritual in this primitive wilderness, Ye Xi would never have imagined that there was such a blood-boiling scene in the world.
He clenched his fists and stared at the scene in front of him, eager to scream to vent his excitement.
Then the chanting witch paused.
He opened his eyes, looked at the people in front of him, and resumed his recitation.
Ye Xi felt that Wu Wen was inexplicably familiar.
That's right...... This is a blessing to Wu Wen! I heard Wu chant the last time I resisted the insect plague! But it seems to be a little different.
With the chanting of Wu, Ye Xi felt as if he had soaked in a hot spring in the middle of winter, the feeling of comfort was indescribable, it seemed to be back in his mother's belly, wrapped in amniotic fluid, he closed his eyes, felt extremely comfortable and relieved, and wanted to go on like this forever......
Even if the heavy rain keeps hitting you, you can't take away this comfortable feeling.
Heavy rain...... By the way, he's in the sacrificial ceremony right now!
Ye Xi suddenly came back to his senses and opened his eyes, and was stunned to find that everyone present was covered with a layer of hazy white light, looked down at himself, and found that he was also like this, even stronger than the light of others.
Standing at the front were the warriors of the tribe, and Ye Xi was a reserve warrior, standing in the second row of the crowd.
He noticed that the scar on the white light-covered skin of the soldier standing in front of him was weakening little by little.
Because of the hunting, the warriors had deep and shallow scars on their naked skin, and in this white light, both deep and shallow scars disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.
His eyes were on Locke.
Luo injured his left leg in the hunt two days ago, and he has been walking with a little lameness, and even if he is standing, his weight is placed on his right leg, which looks a little awkward. At this time, I saw that Luo Quqi's left leg slowly straightened, and as time passed, the whole person had stood straight, like a javelin.
This blessing is amazing! Ye Xi exclaimed.
He looked at the witch, and at this moment the witch was chanting, and there was a little white light on his forehead that was faintly beating.
Ye Xi gasped.
The image of the witch became more mysterious in his heart.
Wu has more power than he ever imagined.
After a while, Wu stopped chanting and said aloud, "All the reserve fighters who are preparing for this awakening come here." ”
Ye Xi and the others went up as they said.
The mink also stood up with the beast core in his hand.
Everyone looked at them a little surprised, and they didn't know how he could come out, because the mink should not have a fierce beast core.
Wu immediately thought of Ye Xi and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
Ye Xi nodded slightly.
Presiding over the awakening ceremony in the Great Sacrifice costs mana power, and helping one more reserve warrior awaken, the more witch power will be consumed.
But for Ye Xi's sake, since the mink has a fierce beast core, everyone acquiesced to his joining.
There are many warriors to be awakened this time, and with the addition of mink, there are nearly twelve.
In previous years, due to the limited number of fierce beast cores in the tribe, only a part of the reserve warriors could be screened for awakening every year, and those who did not get the fierce beast core could only wait until the next year.
This time, because of the defeat of the Tu tribe, the Tushan tribe has enough beast cores, and all the reserve fighters have quotas. Even the gifted cone, as well as the chief's son, the Turgeon, were each assigned a pure-blooded beast core.
"Cone, carapace, marten...... The five of you are standing by the fire. ”
Helping the warrior awaken is very mana-intensive, and this time there are too many of them, so they must be divided into two groups.
Ye Xi and the other five stood aside, waiting for the next batch.
Knock!
But I saw that the drumming fighters changed the drum beat in their hands at this time, and changed the rhythm.
The drum beat became heavier and more dull.
Boom!!!
A dull drum sounded.
Ye Xi's heart skipped a heavy beat.
The next moment, Ye Xi found that there was a faint phantom on the drum surface of the five big drums!
Knock knock knock!!
As the drum hammer struck, the phantom became more and more solid, it was a powerful beast, as if it had come to life at this time, and it actually opened its mouth to make a roar.
A tragic aura of desolation came to his face.
