Chapter 51: The First Summoning
The Blood Ritual Technique only has six gestures, which is relatively simple, but it needs to be used back and forth several times, and the order of use is different each time. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of administering the technique. Fortunately, Kitano Xuan's spiritual power is strong, and he can perform the trick in just a few breaths. It's just that after the trick is cast, there is no movement on the altar pattern for a long time.
Could it be that it failed? Kitano Gen and Aso looked at each other, both slightly disappointed.
Suddenly, a faint light lit up. At the same time, a picture suddenly appeared in Kitano Gen's mind, in which several wild beasts with four horns that looked like sheep were eating. Instead of grass and trees, they ate a badly wounded and dying cheetah.
These sheep-like beasts are not very large, one meter three tall and more than two meters long, but they have a pair of sharp fangs. They use their fangs to tear the flesh and blood of the cheetah, and the blood drip down the fangs, bloody and cruel.
The cheetah was dying, and his eyes gradually turned gray. At this time, as if dying and struggling, and as if returning to the light, the cheetah's eyes suddenly brightened, and there was an extra color called hope in them. Then, I saw a faint light shine, and in front of several sheep-like wild beasts, the cheetah disappeared strangely.
In the cave, on the altar pattern, the faint light suddenly brightened, flashing with dazzling brilliance. Immediately afterwards, a phantom appeared, it was the disappeared cheetah! The phantom gradually solidified, and the cheetah made a painful ** sound, appearing in front of the two of them.
Aso looked at the bloody cheetah and was extremely surprised. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "How can this be? This cheetah is obviously going to die, how can it still be summoned by you? Kitano, you waste blood and mental energy, can't you just summon this kind of thing? Moreover, you see that this leopard doesn't have much meat on its body anymore. How so?"
Kitano Gen was silent, still recalling the delicate process just now. The picture he saw came from nowhere, was it another corner of the savage world, or was it another world? He could feel that through the power of the altar, his spiritual power was connected to another dimension. As long as it was a desolate beast in that space, he had the ability to summon it.
The reason why I chose this cheetah in front of me is because it takes very little mental power to summon it!
That's right, the summoning of the Blood Sacrifice consumes mental energy. If the summoned beasts are too strong, and their own spiritual power is not strong enough, not only will they not succeed, but they will be easily counterattacked! Those sheep-like beasts don't look very fierce, but how can a beast that can feed on cheetahs be good? In the end, Kitano Xuan still chose to summon this dying cheetah.
The loss of his mental power from this summoning was negligible. But it also achieved its goal.
The cheetah struggled for a moment and gradually died. The light from the altar pattern on the ground dissipated, and even the pattern was gone.
Kitano Xuan secretly guessed that there was a certain time limit for the summoning of the Blood Sacrifice, and if the fierce beast summoned within the time limit died, it would be impossible for the dead fierce beast to go back. For example, the cheetah in front of you, or the scorpion that appeared in Qingshan. If the summoned beast is strong enough, it shouldn't stay here in the end.
"What's wrong?" Aso couldn't help but interrupt when he saw that Kitano Gen was still pondering, "Did you think of anything?"
Kitano Xuan nodded and said, "I think I have basically understood this set of blood sacrifice methods. Aso, if you have time, you can study it too, maybe you will use it later. This skin scroll will be yours to keep. If you go back to the tribe, you can also offer it to the elders. With this blood sacrifice method, the strength of the tribe should be greatly improved!"
Aso suddenly laughed out loud and said jokingly: "Kitano, if the blood sacrifice method can only summon this kind of thing in front of me, how can I be embarrassed to contribute it to the tribe?
"Yes," Kitano said with a frown, "I promised my master to participate in the hunt on the third day of the next month. Looking at the current situation, it is a question whether we can return to the tribe in time. ”
"You still don't have to worry about the tribe. There are clan elders in the tribe, as well as your master and a few innate powerhouses. You won't have a problem going out hunting. Asu comforted, "It's you, you have to recuperate with peace of mind." In a few days, we will go out to find the Spirit Grass Spirit Flower Spirit Fruit, and we must heal your injuries!"
Time passed, and soon it was evening.
In a clearing outside the cave, Aso hunted an elk and roasted it on a fire.
Looking at the burning flames, Aso racked his brains to think of a way to obtain the Fresh Fruit. Eventually, she got her mind on the girl in the lake. Through getting along last night, Aso felt that the other party was kind-hearted and simple, and if he told the other party about the situation, he might get her sympathy, and then get fresh fruit!
The setting sun spilled its last rays and disappeared without a trace. Heaven and earth began to fall into darkness.
On the edge of the island, accompanied by a pleasant sound of splashing, a beautiful figure jumped out of the lake.
She rolled over in the air and quickly fell into the water. It wasn't long before she reappeared. One flips and falls overboard again. After playing for a while, I seem to be tired. She leaped and landed on the island. At night, you can vaguely see her figure, her figure is perfect, impeccable, her skin is as clean as jade, and her facial features are delicate as carving.
The girl chuckled, and the fishtail swayed under her, as flexible as her legs. She looked up at the night sky, her blue, deep eyes flashing with enigmatic colors. After a long time, the girl lost interest, and the fishtail quietly changed and turned into a pair of jade legs.
She walked briskly towards the center of the island.
The elk is about to be roasted, and the aroma of meat wafts out. Aso roasted the deer very carefully, turning the body of the deer from time to time to try to heat the venison evenly. She waited silently, waiting for the venison to be roasted, waiting for the maiden of the lake to appear.
There was a sound of footsteps, from far and near. Aso listened intently and couldn't help but get excited. What she was excited about was not the arrival of the girl, but the fresh fruit that might be about to arrive.
The girl stepped over, and when she saw Aso roasting meat at the entrance of the cave, her appearance became very strange, and she pointed to the venison that was being grilled, and babbled excitedly. Asu frowned when she heard this, and then remembered that she and the girl in front of her could not communicate smoothly.
At this moment, two spiritual threads shot out from the cave, instantly connecting the brains of Aso and the girl. Aso understood what the girl meant, and couldn't help but worry a lot. But the girl didn't remember Aso anymore, and was very indignant at Aso's behavior of barbeconing meat in front of her house. Aso hurriedly explained, but couldn't get the girl's forgiveness. The girl is still accusing.
Such a scene was something Aso had never imagined.
At this time, Kitano Gen's voice came into Aso's mind, "This girl may care about the elk you are barbecuing." ”
It turns out that the girl in this lake can only move within the scope of Qingshui Lake, whether it is in the lake or on the island. All living beings were regarded as friends by her, and now she saw that her friends were killed and roasted in front of the fire, she naturally couldn't accept it.
"I'm sorry, I don't know. Aso hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, okay?" The girl's tears slid down her face and landed on the ground, crackling.
In the hazy night, when those tears hit the ground, they instantly turned into pearls and glowed softly. If it weren't for the bright light in front of you, these pearls with a soft glow would be even more conspicuous.
The girl was sobbing, "I'm sorry the fawn will come back to life, you killed my friend, you know?"
Aso continued to apologize and explain, but questions arose in his heart, if this girl really only had the memory of seven hours, why did she remember these wild beasts on the island, and still regarded them as friends?
"I don't want to see you again," the girl whimpered, her tone resolute.
At this time, Kitano Gen's voice came into the girl's mind, "Don't you really remember us? We are friends! Last night we faced the four-horned beast together. Are you going to kick us out today?"
Kitano Gen's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, he faltered, but he still walked quickly. He came to Aso's side and shook her hand. This move made Asu, who was originally nervous, feel a lot more at ease.
"Are we friends?" the girl stopped crying, and her mind kept thinking about it, but she remembered nothing but her friend on the island, who was killed by the girl in front of her and the person who claimed to be her friend, and was set up on a fire to barbecue. The girl can't tolerate it!
"Whether we used to be friends or not, from now on, we are not!"
Tears gathered in the girl's dark blue eyes again, and her attitude was extremely resolute, "This is my place, I don't welcome you, and please don't appear in front of me again!"
Kitano Gen and Aso glanced at each other, smiled bitterly, and felt at a loss.
