Nine days later.

Deep in the cave.

Ye Xi sat cross-legged on a stone platform, his eyes closed slightly, and his right hand held the witch stone.

Wisps of green energy that only witches could see poured out from the witch stone, melted into Ye Xi's palm like snow, and then merged into the swirling totem imprint in the sea of consciousness.

As the totem brand absorbed this energy, it became brighter and brighter.

In the past nine days, Ye Xi has been absorbing the energy of the witch stone, and now he has almost absorbed it, the power in the witch stone has almost disappeared, and the magic power in his body has gradually become abundant, which is enough to preside over a big sacrifice.

As the energy of the witch stone was drained, the already gray witch stone became even more gray, and it looked no different from ordinary stones.

When the first rays of morning light shone on Ye Xi's body from the light transmission hole overhead.

Hearing a soft click, the energy-exhausted witch stone completely shattered in Ye Xi's hands and turned into a piece of gray powder.

Ye Xi slowly opened his eyes.

He was still refreshed after a sleepless night, and there seemed to be starlight faintly twinkling in his open black eyes.

The morning light shining from the top of his head gradually became brighter, Ye Xi's whole person was bathed in the morning light, and the illuminated black hair seemed to have a circle of light, which looked a little sacred.

Today is the day of the Great Sacrifice.

It's almost time.

Ye Xi stood up, picked up the bone staff, shook the sleeves of his shirt, shook off the dust on the linen clothes, and then strode out with the bone staff.

Tuk, tuk, tuk.

Ye Xi's steps were slow but firm, and the bone staff followed his steps with a rhythmic sound of touching the ground.

Walking in the dark cave passage, Ye Xi was full of emotion. Two years ago today, he was still nervous about his imminent awakening to become a warrior, but he didn't expect to preside over a big sacrifice in person today, and the circumstances of his life are really ever-changing.

Outside the cave.

The Xia tribesmen were already standing there, all of them talking to each other excitedly, and tidying up their hair and clothes from time to time.

All of them had been carefully washed, their skin was cleaned, there was not even a trace of dirt between their fingernails, and they all changed into the best animal skin clothes they thought were the best, and they wore bone ornaments and braided their hair, and they looked new, just like the previous images of savages.

They were all very excited, especially the thirty-nine reserve fighters who were selected by Ye Xi and were about to awaken into warriors today, all of them clenched their fists and kept inhaling and exhaling, trying to calm themselves down.

You must know that not everyone can awaken to become a warrior, and physical fitness is a big hurdle. If the body is not strong enough, it is likely that it will not survive the fusion of the beast core, and it will die instead of successfully awakening.

The current situation of the Xia tribe is that the population is small, the physical fitness is weak, and there are many fierce beast cores.

Reserve trials and anything were unrealistic for the Xia tribe, so Ye Xi selected a group of people with better physical fitness, and this group of people, regardless of men, women, and children, provided sufficient meat and constantly nourished their bodies with the blood of barbarian beasts.

Thirty-nine more qualified people were then selected from among them.

But even so, after nine days, there was still a gap between their physical fitness and that of ordinary reserve soldiers, so Ye Xi asked their opinions, but they were all willing to risk their lives to try to awaken.

Ye Xi walked out of the cave slowly.

"Wu!" everyone immediately noticed, and saluted excitedly and respectfully.

"Hmm. ”

Ye Xi nodded slightly.

Whew-

The wind is blowing.

The sky was cloudy, the birds were scurrying around, and a blazing blue star like a blue diamond was completely revealed in the sky.

With Ye Xi's field of vision, he could see wisps of green energy floating everywhere on the ground, as if a drop of green ink had been dripped onto the surface of the water, and then countless green silk threads fell out of the water.

These energies are the same as the energy in the witch stone, and after they are submerged in Ye Xi's body, they will be transformed into magical power.

Ye Xi retracted his gaze, and said to all the Xia tribesmen who were looking at him nervously with a calm face, "Let's start." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Qing and Wan Lun immediately walked out of the crowd.

At this time, there was also a black skin drum made of the skin of a black-scaled tiger in the open space, and a hideous huge skull hung on the drum body, which looked like it had a rough beauty.

Mu Qing and Wan Lun are the most powerful people in the entire Xia tribe, and this time they sacrificed a lot, and they could only sacrifice this opportunity to awaken and become warriors in order to hammer the sacrificial drum.

They walked over to the drum, removed the water bladder from their waists, and drank a large mouthful of water mixed with the blood of the black-scaled tiger.

After drinking this sip of water, their faces immediately turned red, and infinite power surged in their bodies, and then they picked up four bone hammers and smashed them heavily against the big drum in front of them.

Knock ——!

A dull and distant sound.

Knock – Knock——!

Mu Qing and Wanlun's arms muscles bulged, hot sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they gritted their teeth and clenched the bone hammer in their hands and smashed down against the drum surface.

Knock! Knock!

All the Xia tribesmen formed a circle around the big drum and Ye Xi, they looked at the center with solemn expressions, and when the seventh drum beat fell, they suddenly all sang loudly:

"In the chaotic world, there is a witch named Xia Cang, holding the light of the torch to illuminate this vast wilderness.

Gather the human race and work together.

Kill the tiger in the morning and the long snake in the evening.

Take animal bones as knives and turn insect beetles into badges.

The light is steaming, watching the rising sun shine brightly.

......

The white bones turned to ashes, the glory was drowned by thousands of years, and the giant feather insect snake broke my back

The head of the dry bones hangs down, looking up at which faith.

roared, and the fire rekindled in his unyielding heart.

I have a rock in my heart that I cannot shake.

There is heaven in my heart, which cannot be extinguished.

I have a sharp heart, and I can't be sharp.

Standing tall in the heavens and the earth, my ancestor's name is Xia Cang......"

The sacrificial drum music contains a mystical rhythm that resonates with heaven and earth, allowing the body of the reservist to gradually enter the state and prepare for the upcoming awakening, helping the reservist to awaken.

And the strength of ordinary people is limited, even if Mu Qing and Wan Lun prepared a water bladder mixed with the water of the blood of the barbarian beast, it was still not enough to hammer the drum while drinking.

So Ye Xi had to think of another way, that is, to make a tribal song with the beat of the drum, and the reserve soldiers could gradually enter the state by listening to the drum beat and singing.

Puff, puff.

The beat of the song and the sound of the drums are very harmonious, and with the majestic singing, the heartbeat rate of everyone changes.

But none of the Xia tribesmen noticed this, because they were too excited. The more everyone sang, the more excited they became, the men were spurting blood, the corners of their necks and foreheads were bulging, almost roaring, and the women and children were shaking with tears in their eyes, shaking with excitement in their fists, and they were also roaring and singing.

The armadillo chief sang and sang as he was already old and tearful, tears falling from the wrinkled corners of his eyes.

“...... I have a rock in my heart!

I have the light of heaven in my heart!

I have a sharp heart!

My ancestor's name is Xia Cang!!"

With the fierce drumming and uplifting singing, everyone's blood boiled and their hearts beat faster.

Knock knock! knock knock!
