Qingshan Village, surrounded by mountains, no one in the village has been to the outside world except for the old village chief, and they cannot go out, and they have lived here for generations.

The old village chief on weekdays, when teaching young children and solving doubts, he also said that the situation in the outside world, whenever there are children yearning for the outside world, they are greeted by the old village chief's anger, and the life outside is too cruel, the old village chief often says to the children, it is a cannibalistic world, don't think about it, don't think about it.

Sacrifice is the custom of Qingshan Village, and the village chief has always been in charge, and the original altar was destroyed as early as two years ago during the flash flood.

The newly built altar is made of black ebony and igneous crystal, and the fire crystal is formed into rock, which can ensure that the sacrificial spiritual fire will not be extinguished for five days.

Xuan ebony, the most special thing about this wood, is that it burns the fire but does not damage its body, but its color is more deep, and everyone has been looking for a long time to find these two things that build the altar.

The altar is located on the hill behind the village, and the higher ground in the village is also taken so that the damage of the previous two years will not occur.

"Sacrifice to the spirits" In the midst of the cries of the people, the beasts that were found a few days ago were made into sacrificial gifts and sent to the altar made of igneous crystal.

Xuan ebony burning, cangcang spiritual fire, a few days of endless life, sacrifice for five days, except for the first day of the whole village to attend, the rest of the day is a pious person kneeling and praying, accompanied by the sacrificial spiritual fire, chanting all wishes.

"Grandpa, we sacrifice to the mountain spirits every year, why haven't the mountain spirits ever manifested?"

This question, whenever he sacrificed, Mo Ran would ask his grandfather, and what he got was always his grandfather's silence.

"Old man of the Mo family, you have been standing for five more days, every year, why bother" The old village chief walked up to Grandpa Mo and sighed.

Grandpa Mo Ran, formerly known as Mo Zongchen, moved to Qingshan Village for decades, and his name was gradually forgotten by the villagers, and the villagers called him Old Man Mo more, which was a little more cordial. He was the first person from the outside world to arrive, and if it weren't for the two young children in the old village chief, he would never have taken them in.

"You are not the same, we are all just looking for an answer," Grandpa Mo Ran replied.

Decades ago, he was gray-haired, but now the years have not left on his face, crane hair and childish face, but in recent years, but in recent years, there are a little more wrinkles, but also a little more lonely, not as before, often play chess with the village chief, talk about life. More often than not, stand in one place and think for a few days, especially on the day of the great sacrifice.

The answer...... I didn't believe it when you came, but now I'm still like this, Qingshan Village can't be moved, there are too many meanings here, this is our ancestral land," the old village chief muttered and left this place silently.

The five-day ceremony, for some children of Mo Ran, the most enjoyable is the bonfire at night, gnawing on the golden legs, talking about some trivial matters, during which there are also a lot of fists and feet to compare, most of them are between children, the adults in the village are used to hunting beasts, and now they rarely compete in the village.

"Drink~" roared, accompanied by a thin figure flying out, rolling up smoke and dust all over the ground.

"It's painful for me, dead fat, and I don't take it lightly" It was Sun Ming of the Sun family in the village who got up on the ground, with a thin body, and was knocked away by Qin Li with one punch, and from time to time there were laughter from several children sitting down.

"I'm like a girl, I'm an adult in two months, why don't you go out to hunt beasts?" Qin Li clenched his fists and shouted.

"Come, next! Win me, please eat roasted pork and drink good wine"

Qin Li is the eldest of a group of children in the village who are about to become adults. The big pillar who led the team hunting in the village was his father, Qin Zhu, who gave birth to a tiger's back and bear's waist, and the village children were bullied by him when he was a child.

However, Qin Li's nature is not bad, but he is a little rough, and now that he is almost an adult, he has gradually shouldered the heavy responsibility of hunting and protecting in the village, and has matured a lot.

"Brother Xiao Mo, Brother Qin Li is good or bad, and he bullies Xiao Ming again, brother come on the field, teach him a lesson, and help Xiao Ming get angry" Xiao Qi looked at Qin Li bullying the small, and said angrily.

"Actually, it's not a bad thing, Sun Ming, this kid, is lazy at home every day, and he doesn't come when we practice boxing on weekdays, but now that he is almost an adult, it doesn't hurt to be taught a lesson" Mo Ran bit the roast leg, grabbed a few fruits and put them beside him, and had no interest in playing at all.

On weekdays, Mo Ran sneaked out of the village to hunt, the previous thin body, has already been a lot stronger, gestures, more like a jungle, experienced hunters, long ago not like in the past, like to learn with children of the same age, more like to fight with wild beasts in the deep mountains and dense forests.

In the Daqing Mountains, in addition to this village, there are all kinds of beasts on the periphery, hunting prey not only needs to know the habits of each beast, but also to be patient, so that one hit must be hit, reduce their own damage, Qingshan Village has its own unique hunting method in several generations of hunting.

Every villager of Qingshan Village, before reaching adulthood, will have a special lecture to introduce all kinds of beasts, take their strengths, attack their weaknesses, everything has its strengths, but also its weaknesses, the length of the beast, attack its short, is the villagers commonly used beast hunting method.

Since he was a child, he liked to listen to the old people in the village tell about this, and before he reached adulthood, he had already sneaked out of the village and mastered the magic of seven or eight mimic beasts.

The five-day sacrifice is over, and the ebony wood will not damage itself, supplemented by the fire crystal, which can only last for five days of spiritual fire to burn, and then extinguished, and the sound of reverence in the village also lasted for five days before it disappeared, and a sacrifice was truly completed.

"Xiaoqi, let's go" Mo Ran returned to the hut, straightened his tools, and pulled Xiaoqi out of the house, "Grandpa is not here recently, let's go outside the village, the ferret may still be there last time, didn't you say it's cute, my brother promised to help you catch it"

"Brother is the best" Xiao Qi took Mo Ran's hand and jumped around, and the two sneaked out of the village as usual.

The ferret last time was very rare, and it was usually extremely difficult to see, if it weren't for the fact that there weren't many bows and arrows left, it would be difficult to force into the trap, and it would not have just let go of that little thing, Mo Ran thought to himself, this time I have to prepare well, ferrets like to follow the trees and branches, and they are all green and tall trees, and their shadows are like shuttles, if they don't stop, it's really hard to see.

The two returned to where they had been, and searched around for a while, but there was no sign of him, so they had to set up some simple traps in case they needed it.

Mo Ran climbed up the tree, separated the back of the weakest part of each branch with a knife, and then dug a small pit under it, and used the leaves to make a simple trap, because he didn't find the shadow of the ferret, so it was not good to make too many arrangements.

The two searched for a long time, and the ferret was hard to see, so this time they brought enough dry food, and waited for a day, except for a few spirit spotted rabbits, other beasts had never been seen, and now they don't want to go back to the village like this, anyway, spending the night outside is not a matter of one or two times for them, and they have already experienced.

"Xiaoqi, are you hungry, fortunately, I brought some jerky, eat some first, it looks like I have to spend the night here."

Mo Ran handed over some dry food to Xiaoqi, found a commonly used small hole, covered it up a few times, and used it as a place for the night, these are the villagers who usually hunt outside, usually for several days, and there are a few caves in some places.

The sky is dark, and the fire in the cave has been extinguished before the sky gets dark, otherwise the fire at night is easy to attract wild beasts, although most of the beasts are afraid of fire, but most of the wild beasts outside Qingshan Village can not be thought of according to the way of thinking, and some beasts will even spit spiritual fire, which is also a common thing.

"Knock knock, knock knock"

Although the entrance of the cave is obscured by gravel and leaves, the inexplicable sound echoes in the cave even more.

"Shhhh

"Hmm" Xiaoqi shrunk in the corner, smiling, closing her eyes and sleeping with her brother by her side, she was always very relieved, because she knew that her brother would protect her.

In the forest at night, not only is the sky getting colder, but there are many more inexplicable coldness, and the silent forest often echoes the sound of unknown beast hooves.

Fortunately, the cave was hidden, and ordinary beasts couldn't find it at all, Mo Ran watched Xiaoqi fall asleep, and also rested against the rock wall at the entrance of the cave, but he didn't dare to sleep deeply, and maintained a trace of vigilance.

"Xiaoqi, wake up, it's dawn" There was a glimmer of light outside, and the young man looked at the little lazy worm on the side, and said helplessly.

"You stay in the hole, I'll go outside to take a look, yesterday there was a hoof sound in the middle of the night, and I don't know what happened outside"

Mo Ran straightened things, and when he heard that the sound outside the cave had disappeared for a long time, he pondered to go out of the cave and take a look.

In the past, although there was some movement at night, it was not as big as yesterday, and he had a guess in his heart that something should have happened, and for the sake of safety, he should go out first to see the situation.

"En" Xiaoqi rubbed her sleepy eyes, twisted her little arms, and stretched her waist.

The young man got up, brushed aside a gravel, walked out of the cave lightly, and turned around to cover the gravel and leaves that covered the entrance of the cave, but not long after he came out of the hole, his face changed!

A beast roared, and its sound shook the sky!
