Chapter 319: Night Sacrifice
For a moment, Meng Xuan felt that he was in a trance.
Even a blue firefly that I saw casually actually had the bloodline of a terrifying existence like the Star Power Angel, which had been extinct long ago, and was born with the power of the world's origin rules and information······
He entered the age of mythology through these floating islands?!
The age of mythology is just a legend, and the definition of the age of this era is varied, but it is only a more ancient age that later generations have speculated through extinct antiquities such as the bloodline of the star power angel obtained by Morris.
There is basically no description of this era, even in the current transcendent world, in fact, it is generally believed that the era when the Nelson civilization existed was the real mythological era, and in the transcendent world, there are many legends about that era.
As for the situation before Nelson's civilization, there are only a few fragmentary and fragmented stories circulating, more like some unreliable legends made up by roadside storytellers.
However, it is generally believed that such an ancient era did exist, and at that time, the world was dominated by some incomparably powerful transcendent beings, just because of the rise of human beings later, they gradually became the overlord of the world through cultivation and created a brilliant civilization, and this civilization was the prototype of the extremely brilliant Nelson civilization.
However, Meng Xuan, who had experienced a lot and had a deep understanding of the secrets of the world, knew that before the Nelson civilization, there should actually be a person that completely disappeared into the dust of history, as if it had not left any trace in the long river of time.
That civilization should be the true pioneers who have come all the way from the barbarian period, they have developed a completely different path from the ritual path, and they may even be the source of the distortion phenomenon, and they have extremely powerful power.
Now, he actually returned to that era through the floating island in his consciousness?!
However, he had never been in contact with that era at all, and most of his speculations about that civilization were his guesses except for what he knew about the murals and the unknown ruins, but now, why did everything about that era appear so clearly in the depths of his soul, and even form a floating island?
"No, all the hidden secrets of this foggy island are related to that era and civilization, right?"
"Is my consciousness different, or is it the same for everyone?"
He speculated in his heart, but he quickly decided that this should be a special situation in his own consciousness, after all, if there was a similar situation in the consciousness of others, the appearance of the ancient world would have been restored long ago.
So, is this something to do with that ruin, with that pure white space, and with that man in white? Did he do it in his own consciousness?
Meng Xuan frowned.
Syllable!!
Suddenly, while he was still thinking, a huge slap landed on the back of his head, slapping him staggering.
"I don't even know such important knowledge! Didn't you listen to the priest's teachings at all?! With the appearance of you, how can you be a good hunter in the future?! How can you feed yourself?! What sturdy and good mother-in-law with a big ass would marry a wretch like you?! ”
"Do you want to be like the people like Budner and Dokuya, who feed by picking up other people's scraps? Or even picking up feces?! You want to be bullied by Poland and Kakabuni for the rest of your life? Beaten every time with a bruised nose and swollen face, forever playing the game as the beast they conquered? ”
"Yes, your parents died fighting for the tribe, and the tribe will be responsible for raising you as an adult, giving you enough food, and even letting you participate in this 'Night Sacrifice' for free, but after you become an adult, everything still depends on yourself, you are not young now, after the 'Night Sacrifice', you will really become an adult, everything will depend on you, and I will not give you more help, do you understand? You're not young, you're already a man, you have to look like a man! ”
The woman slapped Meng Xuan and shook him again and again, and scolded in an elder-like tone.
Who the hell is this woman?!
Meng Xuan was fanned into a nest in his heart, and was about to use his strength to give the other party a good look, when suddenly an inexplicable message poured out from the depths of his heart.
Podaya, a tribal warrior, about twenty-five years old, is his current aunt and caretaker, a good comrade-in-arms of his parents, and has been taking care of him since his parents died fighting for the tribe.
And with information to introduce?!
Meng Xuan was stunned again.
Then he reacted that when he entered the Soul Island this time, he was not either Meng Xuan or Xu Yupeng in his previous life, but he had replaced the other identity, and was carrying out activities in this island world that was almost equivalent to the real world.
The name of this body····· Seems to be called Eggers?
A series of new discoveries made Meng Xuan in a continuous impact, and his expression looked a little sluggish.
Such an expression looked a little sluggish and stupid in Bodaya's eyes, making her think that her words had hurt him, and sighed slightly in her heart, although this child will be an adult after tonight, but he is only fourteen years old after all, and because of the early death of his parents, he has no good growth environment, and he has not learned enough survival skills, maybe now he is also confused about the future, right?
"You don't have to worry so much, things are still turning around."
"Tonight's 'Night Sacrifice' is a great opportunity, if you can stand out and feel the power of 'secret' in the 'Night Sacrifice', you will be able to become the priest's apprentice, obtain his key training, and even accept the priesthood position in the future."
"So, cheer up, we are now lagging behind, the large army has rushed towards the place of the 'Night Sacrifice', time waits for no one, the priest will hold a ceremony in strict accordance with the time of the sacrifice, if you miss it, it will really be missed for a lifetime, let's go!"
Bodaya looked at Meng Xuan's sluggish expression and blamed herself a little for her tone being too heavy, her tone slowed down, and cheered for Meng Xuan.
In fact, she was sighing in her heart, it was too difficult to feel the power of "secret", that power, there was no skill to speak of, there was no law to follow, whether she could really feel that power, only one factor was at work.
That's luck.
The priest of the tribe is now seventy years old, but in the forty years that he has become a priest, there are only no more than five clansmen who can really feel the power of "secret", and most of these five people have not been able to go to the end, and finding a successor has always been a headache for the tribe and the priest.
But after all, there is still hope, and no one can say for sure about such a thing as luck.
"'Night Festival'······"
Meng Xuan repeated the word mentioned by Bodaya in his heart, and a strong interest suddenly rose in his heart.
He has a strong desire to explore this era that is submerged in the tide of history, and the secrets that hide the deepest part of the world.
After all, these secrets may have an inseparable relationship with him, his identity, his own encounters, and his origins.
So, he nodded to Podaya.
"It's time now, it's almost too late, you definitely can't catch up with your strength, come on, get on my back!"
Bodaya looked at the disc-like shining moon hanging high in the sky, slightly anxious, squatted down in front of Meng Xuan, and motioned for him to hurry up and lie on her back.
Meng Xuan hesitated slightly, and finally complied with her proposal.
After all, this island world looks very different from the previous world, and this world should have relatively strict laws and laws.
If he shows extraordinary power, he is likely to break this law and usher in a backlash, triggering all kinds of unpredictable situations that will directly break the direction of the entire island world.
He has a strong and pure will, and he is naturally not afraid of the changes in the island world, but if he breaks the direction of the world, he may not be able to get more information about this world, about this era, about this civilization, and he will not be able to answer the questions in his heart.
This is a situation he does not want to see.
Lying on Podaya's back, he felt the force of Podaya's feet, and the whole person was like a galloping female leopard, rushing forward at a very fast speed.
The touch coming from her back couldn't help but make Meng Xuan feel a strange feeling.
An illusion of warmth, intimacy, and admiration.
It seems that at this moment, he has truly become a child who has lost his parents and is helpless, and can only rely on his adoptive mother.
"Consciousness information from the illusion?"
Then Meng Xuan quickly broke free from this feeling, and his face returned to calm.
For it was obvious to him that this emotion did not come from his own will, but from the emotion that arose instinctively in this illusory body that carried his will, and which fundamentally had nothing to do with him.
He is just a bystander, and does not want to be affected by the emotions and subconscious of the illusionary body, and if he cannot maintain his independent and conscious will, he will be in danger of getting lost in the illusion.
With Bodaya's agility, the two of them quickly went deep into the jungle, and they could see from a distance that under the bright moonlight, an area in the jungle seemed to be surrounded by tall sharp wooden stakes, and the light of the fire could be faintly seen.
At the gate of this manor, two burly men with tall stature and equally primitive style guarded the door, always paying attention to the changes in their surroundings.
Meng Xuan, who had a very keen vision, clearly saw that the moment Bodaya approached, the muscles of the two of them tensed at the same time, and they raised the weapon in their hands that seemed to be made of the fangs or horns of some kind of fierce beast.
"Stop! Podaya! ”
One of the strong men scolded in a deep voice.
"He was left behind, and I went to get him back."
Bodaya stopped her steps very interestingly, and put down Meng Xuan behind her.
"We know, but you also know our duty, every year at the 'Night Sacrifice' there are some otherworldly beings or other tribes who try to destroy it, and you will only be able to enter it through the test."
The big man guarding the door said cautiously to Bodaya, and the other big man took out a sharp small wooden vertebrae from his bosom that looked like it was engraved with strange patterns and threw it in front of Bodaya.
Bodaya easily caught the wooden cone carved with some strange patterns on it and stabbed it into his finger.
A trail of scarlet blood flowed from her fingertips and stained the wooden cone, and the lines on the wooden cone instantly lit up.
After doing all this, Bodaya threw the wooden cone to Meng Xuan who was standing aside, and Meng Xuan did the same, stabbing his finger with the wooden cone, and the wooden cone also lit up.
"Yes, it's all the bloodline of our tribe, you guys go in, the priest is already making the final preparations for the night sacrifice thousand, and if you go late, you won't be able to catch up."
Seeing this, the big man guarding the door showed a relaxed smile on his face, let go of his body, and revealed the door.
Bodaya nodded when she heard this, took Meng Xuan's hand, and quickly walked into the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Meng Xuan saw a clearing, and the ground was painted with strange patterns, which seemed to be drawn with blood, these lines were a little different from the ritual patterns of Nelson's civilization, they were more chaotic, and they didn't seem to contain extraordinary power, but they just made the people standing in them feel a sense of dizziness.
In the center of the clearing, there were about a hundred people of all sizes gathered around at this time, most of them were tall, sturdy, and armed men in their arms, who seemed to be performing guard duties, and the other half were a group of girls and teenagers who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, who gathered in the center of the clearing, forming a circle.
Beside these young men and girls, there was a blazing bonfire, the light of the fire also seemed to form a circle of about twenty meters, a thin old man with a rickety figure and wrinkled skin, wearing a linen robe, was sitting cross-legged in the middle, looking up at the bright moon in the sky that was slowly rising to the zenith, as if waiting for something.
Kampas, the last remaining priest of the Bear Tribe, wields the power of the Hidden.
Once, the Giant Bear Tribe was also a large tribe within hundreds of kilometers around, with a population of tens of thousands, and the number of priests once exceeded five, which was extremely powerful, but in recent years it has weakened, and the population has plummeted to about 1,800 people, and the priests are only left with Kampas, but even so, within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, the Giant Bear Tribe can be regarded as a medium-sized tribe.
Such a piece of information quickly appeared in Meng Xuan's mind when he saw the old man.
"Let's get over there."
Bodaya pushed Meng Xuan and whispered to him.
Meng Xuan nodded, took a step, and slowly walked towards the direction of the fire ring.
And with his arrival, the movement caused by the footsteps attracted the attention of the young boys and girls in the fire ring, making them all turn around.
