Storm picked up the knife, brought the handle to his mouth, bit it with his teeth, and then swiped his finger lightly on the blade, and a thin cut appeared.

Storm put his finger on top of the jade bowl, and bright red blood oozed out of the wound and dripped into the bowl, but because the wound was very small, it only dripped less than ten drops of blood, and then stopped.

Tyrant removed the knife from his mouth and placed it on a wooden plate.

Luo walked towards Fengyun with the wooden plate and stopped in front of him.

Fengyun was a little surprised.

For this ritual before the start of the winter hunt, Fengyun already knows something.

The order in which blood is taken also represents the status of the hunters.

Fengyun was the second to take blood, which means that his status among hunters is second only to Tyrant.

Fengyun couldn't help but look at Wu Hebang.

He saw a look of encouragement in their eyes.

He looked at the other hunters, all of whom looked calm, as if they had acquiesced to this arrangement.

Fengyun nodded secretly, no longer hesitated, picked up the knife, cut his finger, and dripped blood into the jade bowl.

At this time, Fengyun felt that there were eyes watching him.

He looked up and saw that it was Lo who was looking at him.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity, amazement, and inquiry.

After making eye contact with Fengyun, she didn't avoid it, but nodded at him imperceptibly, and walked towards the others with the wooden plate.

When all the warriors preparing for the winter hunt had dripped their blood into the bowl, Lo walked back and finally stood by the witch's side.

Wu also picked up the knife and cut his fingers, but instead of dripping the blood into the jade bowl, he pressed it on the totem pole.

In the next second, the totem pole lit up, and the statue of the flame snake on it burst into flames, especially its eyes, which shot a dazzling light.

Wu withdrew his fingers and pulled out a piece from his bosom.

Fengyun immediately gathered his eyes and looked over, and found that there were checkered patterns on it, and immediately realized that it should belong to some kind of turtle species.

The witch lifted the turtle board high.

The flame snake's eyes turned, and the light began to converge, forming a convergence at a certain point, turning into a brighter pillar of light.

Then, this pillar of light shone on the turtle board in the witch's hand.

The pillar of light seemed to have some kind of strange power, and the turtle plate in Wu's hand flew up on its own, and flew towards the totem pole along the pillar of light.

About three feet away from the totem pole, the snake opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of flames, enveloping the tortoiseshell.

Soon, a crackling explosion came from the flames.

Fengyun's vision is very strong, and he can clearly see that cracks have appeared on the tortoise plate under the scorching flames.

Those cracks seem to be disorganized, but they have a faint pattern, as if they are transmitting some kind of information, as for what the specific information, he does not know.

After about five minutes, the flames that enveloped the turtle plate disappeared, and then it flew in front of the witch following the gaze of the flame snake.

Wu raised his hands, respectfully took the turtle board, and put it in front of him to examine it carefully.

Fengyun immediately felt the change in the atmosphere, and everyone seemed to be nervous.

Looking at the past, everyone's eyes were almost wide, staring at the turtle board in Wu's hand, their faces flushed, their breathing was short, and even the storm looked a little nervous.

People's performance also aroused Fengyun's curiosity, looking at Wu.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wu finally raised his head.

Fengyun obviously felt that everyone's nervousness had instantly climbed to an unprecedented peak, and even made him suspect for a moment that the air would not be able to bear it and explode.

"Ji!"

Wu spat out a word in a low and solemn tone.

"Oh......"

Before the end of the auspicious word dissipated, the people cheered.

The shouts of joy were like the tide of the sea, and like a continuous thunderstorm, which spread beyond the tribe, and the mountains correspondingly, spread to the sky, and shattered the clouds.

Fengyun felt the ecstasy from the hearts of the people, turned his head to look at the storm, and found that although he did not cheer with the people, he clenched his fists, and the force was so great that his knuckles turned white.

For people's performance, Fengyun is understandable.

According to information obtained from the original owner of the body, divination is a necessary procedure before every winter hunt.

The results of the divination will be related to the harvest of the winter hunt, and even the casualties.

Ji not only means that there will be a big harvest in the winter hunt, but the hunters who participate in the winter hunt will also return safely.

The results of divination through totem poles are very effective, at least in the memory of the original owner of the body, there are no major deviations.

Wu obviously understood people's feelings and didn't stop them, but after a while, he raised his hands high and made a downward finger to signal them to be quiet.

This action of his seems to have a miraculous effect.

In the blink of an eye, everyone fell silent and returned to their original state.

Wu put away the turtle board, picked up the jade bowl from the wooden plate, and held it high.

The pillar of light that shot out of the flame snake's eye quickly moved to the jade bowl.

Immediately after, blood flew out of the jade bowl and turned into a long red line.

The flame snake's mouth opened again, sucking the end of the red line, and sucking all the blood in the jade bowl into it.

The next moment it sucked the blood out of the jade bowl, the body of the flame snake statue seemed to be poured with a large bucket of hot oil, and it burst into flames several feet high, enveloping the entire totem pole.

"Sacrifice!"

Wu let out a loud shout.

"Sacrifice!"

The hunters immediately responded, raising their weapons.

As if pulled by some mysterious force, the flames on the statue of the Serpent flew out one after another and landed on the weapons held aloft by the hunters.

Fengyun, like the others, also raised the weapon he was carrying.

When the flames flew towards him, he didn't feel the heat, only a faint warmth.

As they spread across the weapon, even in direct contact with his palm, he felt only a warm heat, like putting his hand in warm water.

He looked at the weapon in his hand, trying to see how the flames blessed it.

The process by which the flames fly out of the statue of the Serpent and combine with the weapon is known as a blessing.

According to everyone, after the weapon is blessed, the quality will be greatly improved, and some can even be upgraded by a notch.

As for whether it is true or false, the situation is unknown.

The original owner of the body did not have access to the blessed weapon before, and the hunters did not give the blessed weapon to anyone else.

Because the blessed weapon can only be used by oneself and given to someone else to use, the blessing effect will disappear.

When the flames had completely penetrated the weapon, Fengyun found that the weapons in his hand were no longer the same as before, and they faintly revealed a red light.

As he put away his weapon, he quietly tried the bow and found that its strength had increased by at least thirty percent.

At this time, the bow could already be used without any scruples on the premise that he did not urge the power of the totem.

"The time for the blessing is still too short. ”

After Fengyun saw the effect of the blessing, he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

Weapons are blessed so that people can better carry out winter hunting, so there is a time limit.

Under normal circumstances, it ranges from ten days to half a month, and the longest will not exceed half a month.

When the time is up, all the blessing effects will disappear and the weapon will be knocked back to its original form.

"Let's go!"

After the blessing was completed, Wu issued the order for the official start of the winter hunt.

"Yes!"

The people took their weapons and dispersed, and many walked directly to the outside of the tribe.

In view of the danger of hunting brute beasts, hunters will form a prescribed team on weekdays.

At the same time, in order to increase the degree of tacit cooperation, once the team is established, unless there is a major problem, under normal circumstances, it will not be easily disbanded.

Although the winter hunt is the largest hunt of the year, most hunters also adopt the team mode on weekdays.

Only some weaker teams will choose to cooperate with others.

Fengyun did not participate in any team, so he did not retreat with the crowd.

It's not that no one thought of inviting him to join his team, but he politely declined.

They were also very knowledgeable, and after being rejected, they didn't pestering anymore and left quickly.

It didn't take long for five people to be left around the totem pole - Wind and Cloud, Storm, Thunder, Witch and Luo.

Wu walked over to Fengyun and Storm, and said seriously: "Yun, Storm, I am going to give you a task, I don't know if you are willing to accept it?"

"Just say what's the task. ”

Without waiting for Fengyun to speak, Storm responded.

Wu was not angry at the slightest at the performance of the violence, and said calmly: "Although the divination result this time is auspicious, it is still inevitable that there will be danger during the winter hunt, I hope you can take care of them, find them in danger, and help them." ”

"Wu, this is not in line with your consistent opinion. Aren't you advocating that everyone should be sharpened, even if it costs blood and lives, so that everyone can master the real skills?"

Wu didn't answer Tyranny's question immediately, but glanced at Fengyun, his eyes full of meaning.

Tyranny's gaze was also attracted by him, looking at the wind and clouds.

He seemed to understand something, nodded, and said, "Wu, your idea is right, the number of people is very important to the tribe now, but I still feel that I can't relax the tempering of everyone." ”

"Violence, don't be in a hurry. I didn't say that I would give up on grinding everyone, I just wanted to reduce casualties. During the winter hunt, as long as their lives are not in danger, neither you nor Fengyun need to take action. ”

"That's right. ”

A smile was revealed.

"Wu, do I need to go all out?"

Fengyun asked a question that he was very concerned about.

He is now a high-level totem warrior, and he is not an ordinary high-level totem warrior, if he goes all out, the number of brute beasts that can be hunted will be very staggering.

With all the weapons upgraded and blessed by the totem pole, he is now like a tiger.

If he completely let go of his hands and feet, it is no exaggeration to say that the brute beasts he hunted alone might even be equal to the sum of the other hunters.
