Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Pale Bull
The Great Wizard angrily pointed at Zaran and said, "This is disrespectful to the entire Golden Family!"
The people were silent when they heard it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe high priest represents the Golden Family, and disrespect to the Golden Family is, of course, disrespectful to the High Priest. In the Miansheng tribe, it is a felony to disrespect the high sacrifice, and according to the previous practice, those who break the vows can be burned at the stake.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Gesang said loudly: "On the surface, this is just a trivial matter. It's just that Mangshan Village randomly found a domestic pig to fool everyone. But if we don't restrict this behavior today, in the long run, which village will still be willing to go to the trouble of capturing cherished sacrificial prey. If Eid al-Adha is full of pigs, sheep, and so on that we eat every day, what are we doing on Eid al-Adha? If we are so insincere, will our ancestors still bless us? Of course not, he will even send a plague to punish us! And all this is caused by a pig that Mangshan Village brought to us casually. Do you think the people of Mangshan Village are guilty or not?"
The High Priest squinted and said nothing. The Great Wizard waited for a moment, slapped the table and shouted, "Tie up that kid from Mangshan Village for me." Let the slaves prepare an extra pot of boiling water, and when Eid al-Adha is over, boil him and the pigs he brought with him!"
The two guards stepped forward and couldn't help but say that they tied up Zalan, put on a bamboo pole and carried it away.
Eid al-Adha continues and the final finale is finally here. The most precious sacrificial game of this year was also selected. It was a pale bull that the Golden Family themselves had captured from the depths of the Forbidden Mountains.
This wild bull has a white body, a height of about 10,000 catties, and weighs about 10,000 catties. As soon as it appeared, the audience cheered.
Imagining that such a formidable beast would be slaughtered and eaten by everyone in a few moments, the men, women and children of the Miansheng tribe were all very proud.
Shi Le and Ruolan came to Echo Valley hand in hand. They could already clearly hear the jubilation of the people at Eid al-Adha.
Just before they were about to enter the Golden Family's castle, they met the village chief of Mangshan Village.
The village chief is also an honest man. As soon as he saw Ruolan, he persuaded her to leave with Shile quickly.
Ruolan asked and learned that Zaran had been arrested by the Great Wizard.
She anxiously begged the village chief to think of a way to save Zaran.
The village chief told her that although the prey to be sacrificed was chosen by the whole village, the Grand Wizard Kai En only had to punish Zaran alone. This is also because the village chief's daughter just married the great wizard the day before yesterday.
The village chief burst into tears when he talked about his daughter. It turned out that he had come to see his daughter this time, but the archwizard did not agree. However, he had heard from the people in the castle that one of the great wizards' young wives had just been buried yesterday. It is said that the woman has been married to the Great Wizard for less than half a year. In the past, the wives of great wizards usually lived for about a year, but now the sudden appearance of such a short-lived wife was also a lot of discussion in the castle.
It was clear that the village chief was powerless to save Zaran from being captured. He was so sad because of his daughter's misfortune that he went back to Mangshan Village alone.
"I want my brother!" Ruolan said.
"Let's go into the city together!" Shi Le said and entered the gate of the castle side by side with Ruolan.
Eid al-Adha has begun, and the warriors of the villages are taken to the Colosseum, where they are free to choose what beasts to fight.
The opening warrior challenges a giant snow leopard with agility.
The warrior killed the snow leopard with a simple and neat fight, and won a full house. Some of the next warriors chose black bears, some chose white tigers, and some chose to chase rare birds with broken wings on foot. Every game was exciting, and the cheers rose higher and higher.
In the evening, at the end of the day's slaughter, the high priest suddenly said, "It's time for our pale cattle to come out!"
When Gesang heard this, he said happily: "Okay! It's time for the finale to begin!"
He ordered torches to be lit, and then opened the gates of the Colosseum's last cage chamber.
"Moo-" The pale bull, more than a foot high, gasped for air in his nostrils and rushed to the middle of the Colosseum. Its eyes are bigger than an adult's fist, and when it looks at people, its pupils open and close, and it is also very affectionate.
"Whoever can kill it will be the number one warrior of the Miansheng tribe this year. Those who receive this title will not only receive a rich reward, but will also be able to make a wish to the high priest. Aha! This is a good thing that has never been done before!" Gesang shouted as he stood on the observation deck outside the Colosseum.
The people of the Miansheng tribe did not care much about finances, but they regarded the high priest as important as a god. They valued the opportunity to make a wish to the High Priest. So a warrior jumped into the Colosseum with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other.
Step by step, he approached the pale bull, and slowly came to a place more than five steps away from the bull.
Although his body was not as big as the head of a pale bull, he was not afraid. The veins on both sides of the pale bull's neck were clearly visible, and if it could be cut with a single sword, it would make its blood splatter on the spot.
But the bull is too tall, and he doesn't take the courage in front of him seriously.
The warrior kept tapping his shield with the blade of his sword, trying to attract the attention of the pale bull.
The crowd also began to heckle, "Roar, roar, roar, kill."
Suddenly, there was a "poof," and the sharp horns of the pale bull flickered and pierced the shield and the warrior holding it. Then it lifted the warrior high and threw it into the stands.
After the death of the first warrior to challenge the bull, the great wizard also saw that the strength of the bull was even more powerful than expected, so he specially allowed the two warriors to join forces to challenge the bull. But then the two warriors who rushed into the field also died under the horns of the brute.
When the elders asked, they learned that the bull had been captured by the eldest son of the high priest with an army of more than three hundred men, and now one or two warriors were asked to challenge it, and they called it nonsense.
After some deliberation among the elders, it was decided that a death squad of seven of the best warriors in the distance would enter the Colosseum. The audience cheered again.
They wanted to see the bull slaughtered by the warriors, but they still underestimated the bull's strength.
The seven warriors are all good hunters. They are not only skilled but also good at working with each other.
They attacked the bull from all sides, and soon cut it down and bruised all over its body. But it also made the wild bull start to go crazy. It ran around the Colosseum without stopping, preventing several warriors from getting close to him.
The warriors want to rely on time to drag down the bull, but the bull's strength seems to be endless. In the end, the physical strength of the seven warriors could not bear it first.
Once their movements were slightly sluggish, they were exchanged for the ruthless torture of the brute bulls. Some of the warriors were killed by the sharp horns of the bull, some were trampled to death by its huge hooves, and some were directly knocked to the wall by it and fell to their deaths.
In the blink of an eye, the situation took a turn for the worse, and all seven warriors were slaughtered by the brute bulls.
The high priest said with some displeasure: "How did the younger generation of our Miansheng tribe become so vulnerable! Isn't it just a wild cow, and it has to be solved by the old man!"
At this time, the warriors of all villages looked at each other, and no one wanted to go down to die.
"I'll try!" Shile shouted at the High Priest through the crowd.
When the high priest saw that there were still people volunteering, he said happily, "Okay! Which village are you from?"
"I'm from Mangshan Village, and Zalan, who was arrested earlier, is my wife's brother," Shile said. If I can slaughter the bull, I beg you to forgive Zaran's sins of disrespect!"
The High Priest smiled and said, "Yes! The Warrior's wish deserves to be respected!"
