There is a vast plain more than 4,000 miles away from the Sanshan Sect.

This area is fertile with water and soil, abundant vegetation and few fierce beasts, so many tribes gather.

Banyan Wind is one of them.

Originally, this tribe was called the Gale Tribe, and it was a rather powerful tribe that did not live here.

It's just that three hundred years ago, the place where they originally lived was attacked by the fierce beast "Changyou", and the clan sacrifices and spirit witches fought it back, retaining some of the clansmen, and migrated here several times.

Due to the large number of banyan trees here, they abandoned the name of the Gale Department and named themselves the Banyan Wind Ministry.

In this way, it signifies the rebirth of the tribe.

Thanks to the protection of the Sanshan Sect and the favorable environment of this area, in the past three hundred years, the Rongfeng tribe has developed very well, and the population has grown from the original dozen people to more than a thousand, which can be regarded as a middle-to-upper-sized tribe within a radius of 100 miles.

- Although most tribes will have extraordinary powers such as witches and sacrifices to protect the safety of their clansmen, they are usually not of high rank, most of them are equivalent to the upper triple of the Qi Refining Realm, and even some small tribes only have the lower triple and cannot be exhaustive, and many times they still have to rely on the clansmen's own survival skills.

Therefore, the mortality rate of young children of the human race in this era is extremely high, especially for tribes without the protection of the city, whether it is disease, or the sudden attack of wild beasts, or even just an accident caused by carelessness, it is possible for young children to die.

The same is true for adults, it is common to die in the process of hunting, so the population of the tribe is generally not large, and the population of thousands is already considered a large tribe.

......

Banyan Wind Department.

The sun was shining and warm, but everyone in the tribe felt a little chill in their hearts.

In front of the large stone house in the center of the tribe sat on a high platform, on which three men dressed in animal skins with various colors painted on their faces sat with sad faces, as if they were discussing something important.

They are the patriarchs, priests, and spirit witches of the Rongfeng Clan.

Under the high platform, there stood two young men, a man and a woman, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, looking similar, they should be brother and sister, their expressions were a little nervous, as if they were waiting for a notice about their fate.

People often passed by, and everyone looked at the brother and sister with a look of pity on their faces, but after the pity they all turned away again, and no one dared to come forward.

Several of them didn't take two steps before they accidentally stepped on a stone on the ground and fell down and broke their heads. There were also a few people who stumbled one after another, as if they had encountered invisible bad luck.

On a high platform.

Dressed in a white animal skin, with black patterns painted on his face, and a somewhat majestic appearance, the man who looked like he was in his thirties glanced at the brother and sister below, and turned his head to the person in front of him: "Rongda, what do you mean, who will go?" The white snake is coming again in two days. ”

His name is Blackstone, and he is the spirit witch of the Banyan Wind Clan.

The man known as Rongda was the patriarch of the Rongfeng Clan, and sitting on the other side was a man who looked to be in his fifties, dressed in a green animal skin, with black patterns painted on his face, and his bearing and authority were obviously higher than those of the other two.

He also looked at the pair of brothers and sisters under the high platform, sighed, and said, "Alas, both of them are good seedlings of our Rongfeng Department, and they can be cultivated as sacrifices and spirit witches in the future, no matter which one is sent to the White Snake, it would be a pity." ”

For ordinary tribes, there are very few people who can become sacrifices or witches.

The former needs to be born with a strong soul and be able to sense the existence of the gods in order to obtain the power gifted by the gods through special sacrificial methods, while the latter requires a certain kind of ancestral bloodline in the bloodline to be higher than the others, so that they can take the corresponding witch medicine, purify the bloodline, and have witch power.

"But the invisible bad luck in the tribe is getting more and more serious, and many people will accidentally fall when walking, will accidentally fall from the roof, will accidentally break their heads, break their legs, and the injuries are not light. ”

Another man wearing a yellow animal skin with a green pattern on his face said with a sad face: "Although no one has been killed for the time being, if this continues, it is difficult for us to predict how bad it will become, and it may even lead to the destruction of the entire tribe. ”

He is also in his fifties, with soft facial features, no majesty, and the whole person looks very gentle, exuding a holy aura, and is a sacrifice of the Banyan Wind Department, named Shaosong.

"Yesterday, Donghe's son Ah Huang went out hunting, obviously chasing a rabbit, but suddenly rushed out of a sword-backed tiger halfway, he tried his best to escape back, but he was also scared half to death, and now he is still lying in bed to recuperate. Blackstone added, "Now the people are already a little panicked. ”

- The sword-backed tiger is a beast similar to the tigers of later generations, but it is two or three times larger, and there is a row of bone spurs on its back, although it is not a fierce beast, it is also one of the most ferocious beasts of this era, and ordinary people without extraordinary strength are simply unable to fight against it.

"Rongda, you are the patriarch, you must make a decision. Shao Song, who was wearing a yellow-skinned animal skin, looked worried, and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, before the arrival of the immortal chief of the Three Mountains Sect, there may be a big incident." And it's only two days before the next time the White Snake comes over, and the immortal chief of the Three Mountains Sect may not be in time. ”

"Alas, how can this be, our Banyan Wind Department has finally found such a habitat, why did we encounter fierce beasts, we should have asked the Sanshan Sect for help earlier. ”

Rongda's pale eyebrows furrowed together, his hands clenched into fists, and he said with some annoyance: "Why is it us, why are we so unlucky...... Wait, wait, wait one more day, maybe the immortals of the Three Mountains Sect will come. ”

Three months ago, the Banyan Wind Department was still quiet and peaceful, and lived a prosperous life.

But one day, a giant white snake with a length of 100 zhang and a thickness of seven feet came here, and just the external momentum and coercion made the spirit witches and sacrifices here unable to move.

This is a force that they are completely unable to resist.

However, this white snake did not kill anyone, nor did it show any malice, but just asked the people of the Rongfeng Department to hand over some of the stored grain, and then left the Rongfeng Ministry, entrenched in a small mountain more than thirty miles away.

Since then, every ten days, White Snake will come to the Banyan Wind Department to ask for some food and leave.

At first, the people of the Rongfeng Department could accept it, so they didn't think much about it.

There are even people who fantasize that they who feed the white snake may be able to enjoy the protection of the white snake.

But slowly, they realized that something was wrong.

It seems that there is an invisible bad luck that has befallen the Banyan Wind Tribe, and many clansmen will be inexplicably unlucky, as if they have suddenly become unlucky.

The situation is getting worse as the White Snake has more and more food to go.

The patriarch and the priests, as well as the spirit witches, all suspected that this might have something to do with the food that the Banyan Wind Department had been asked for by the White Snake.

We can't let the food be taken away anymore.

So, the last time the White Snake came to ask for food, the patriarch Rongda asked the White Snake if he could replace the food with the animal meat they had hunted.

White Snake agreed, but made a request.

Meat it will want, but still give grain.

It's just that meat can offset a lot of grain, which is equivalent to meat and a small amount of grain.

And, White Snake also put forward a condition.

It selected two people in the Rongfeng Department, the brother and sister who were under the high platform at this time.

The condition of the White Snake is: as long as one of these two people is given to it, it will completely stay away from the Banyan Wind Ministry, and will never come to ask for it again, and it will also restore the Banyan Wind Ministry.

Naturally, the Rongfeng Ministry did not agree to this condition.

And after the White Snake left with the meat and a small amount of food, he directly summoned the Three Mountains Sect for help.

Since that day, the invisible bad luck seems to have suddenly increased, and the level of bad luck suffered by the people of the Banyan Wind Department has become more and more serious, as if the image of the white snake taking away the meat is greater than the food.

If the next time the white snake takes away the meat and food, it will greatly increase the bad luck, it will really be unimaginable.

It is not impossible for an entire tribe to be destroyed.

This caused the people of the Rongfeng tribe to fall into a huge panic, fearing that they would die one day, and that the tribe would perish because of misfortune.

The people from the Three Mountains Sect never came.

So, the priests and spirit witches of the Rongfeng tribe approached the patriarch and discussed whether to choose one of the two siblings to give to the white snake when the white snake came next time, so as not to cause the entire tribe to suffer the doom of destruction.

Now, it was the three of them discussing this matter, and Patriarch Rongda was trying his best to keep the two siblings.

Under the high platform.

The two siblings could hear the conversation on the high platform clearly, and they could hear the cold in their hearts, the trembling of their bodies, the fear filling their chests, and the darkness of the world.

In fact, they have long expected such a result.

As early as when they themselves asked to come here to listen, they were ready to be sent out.

They also don't want their parents and relatives to suffer bad luck, and they don't want the entire tribe to be destroyed.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

But when I really heard these words, it was still emotionally difficult to accept.

But did the sacrifice and the witch do it wrong?

No!

Their duty is to keep the majority of the tribe safe and sustain the tribe.

But are the two of you wrong?

Nor did it!

The two of them are only sixteen years old, and they haven't done anything at all!

So what's wrong with that?

What's wrong?

Weak!

It's just wrong!

Because he is weak, he will be forced to such a point by a white snake that is not very strong!

Just when the three people on the high platform were arguing, and the brothers and sisters under the high platform were in a trance, someone suddenly ran over while shouting.

"The immortal chief of the Three Mountains Sect is here!"

"Patriarch, Lord Sacrifice, Lord Lingwu, Immortal Chief of the Three Mountains Sect is here!"

"Great, the immortal chief of the Three Mountains Sect is here!!"

The sound was like a beam of light in the long darkness, suddenly illuminating everything in the Banyan Wind Division.

Let the three people on the high platform have sad faces.

Let the brother and sister under the high stage rekindle their desire for life and the future.

The eyes of the Rongfeng tribesmen who were haunted by bad luck lit up.

The entire Rongfeng Department was jubilant, and everyone looked at the figure who was slowly walking from a distance with great joy.
