Chapter 25: Tribal Integration
Three days later.
The moment the Dongfang Golden Crow shed a ray of golden light, all the clansmen in the entire Xia tribe valley walked out of the cave and came to the outside of the cave where Xia Tuo was.
At the foreground were the tribe's totemic warriors, dressed in armor, many of whom carried baskets of arrows on their backs and large bows in their hands.
Behind the totem warriors, there are more than thirty dolls, and the little ones who were originally naughty and mischievous, under the instructions of Daddy and Auntie, have tense little faces one by one, trying to make themselves look more serious.
At this moment, all the clansmen had solemnity in their eyes, and there was a kind of fanaticism in their eyes.
Totem!
For the vast majority of the clansmen, since the beast tide a few years ago, they have lost the protection of the totem, and after several years of ups and downs, they finally have the protection of the totem.
There was reverence in his eyes, and he looked ahead, his voice suppressed throughout the valley.
Today, Xia Tuo put on a full costume, the thick animal skin coat was draped in two layers, making his figure look a little bloated, with a snow-white and gorgeous beast skull on his head, and a necklace made of hundreds of sharp teeth hanging around his neck.
He walked out of the cave holding a bone spear made of animal bones, and suddenly a low cry came from the valley.
"Patriarch. ”
"Chief. ”
......
"Call the patriarch. ”
In the crowd, Li slapped a teenager on the back of the head.
At the same time, the witch walked out of another valley, and the same witch was no longer the gray beast robe of the past, but a wide beast robe, the surface of which shimmered with luster.
The black lines on the witch's face were outlined, and the shape was indiscernible in the curvature, and it shimmered with a ghostly light.
"Today, we sacrifice totems. ”
The old man's hoarse voice sounded, and an ancient and vast qi machine flashed out in the void, which was immediately captured by Xia Tuo, and at this moment, his heart twitched violently.
A wisp of thought involuntarily connected with the totem pillar, and he 'saw' a gray-white qi emerging from the void.
"The totem sacrifice begins. ”
At this time, the voice of the witch sounded again, and the roar of a fierce beast in the valley sounded, and the hunting team led by Hong dragged a bound fierce beast forward.
Of course, none of these bound beasts had entered the Cracked Stone Realm, each head was several meters in size, and its limbs had been broken.
"Sacrifice. ”
With the sound of Wu Cang's voice, Hong did not hesitate to stab the stone spear in his hand at the bound beast, and immediately pierced its neck, and along the pulled out stone spear, the blood was like a spring, erupting Lao Gao.
Poof!
With the sound, all the nine beasts were stabbed to death outside the cave, and the blood of the beasts gathered together, and the strong bloody aura permeated the senses, stimulating the senses of all the tribesmen.
At this moment, Xia Tuo felt that the air was filled with a rich life essence, he was not familiar with the process of sacrificing totems, but it did not exceed his expectations.
Sacrifice the blood of the beast to the spirit of the totem.
Although the tribe now has a lot of totem warriors, it is still a little weak to catch the fierce beasts of the live Cracked Stone Realm, and in three days, the people of Hong Dai only caught one live Cracked Stone Realm fierce beast, and the rest were hunted.
Therefore, he caught some ordinary fierce beasts, that is, the nine-headed beasts that were killed at the beginning.
The blood flowed along the wound pierced by the nine-headed beast and gathered together, and Xia Tuo suddenly felt a longing rising in his heart, and he longed for the blood in front of him.
A burning heat rose in his consciousness.
Fire!
In the void, a ray of blue light flashed out and fell on the nine-headed beast, instantly turning into a ball of cyan flames.
The runes on the witch's face became brighter and brighter, and the obscure words in his mouth became louder and louder.
The illusory blue flame used the life force of the beast as firewood, jumping in the void, and a hazy figure floated out of the flames.
Totem!
At this moment, all the clansmen of the entire tribe were filled with the figures floating in the cyan flames in front of them, and they knelt down involuntarily one by one.
The totem has appeared!
"Sacrifice. ”
Before the sacrifice was over, Hong and the others dragged the hunted Cracked Stone Realm towards the cyan flames, the green flames jumped down, and the fierce beast's body glowed with a faint blood light, and the life essence in the flesh and blood was absorbed.
Several Cracked Stone Realm beasts, even if they were dead, the essence stored in the flesh and blood was still very majestic, making the green flame even more blazing, and the figure in the shining blue light became clearer and clearer.
The green dragon danced under his feet, his body was like a mountain suppressing the heavens and the earth, the human body was a bird's face, and the snakes in his ears were lobes, standing in the blue light, his eyes were closed, and the heavens and the earth seemed to have fallen into silence.
A strange wave emanated from the phantom, and at the same time, a beast-like moan came from Xia Tuo's throat.
His eyes widened as he saw the blue light spread outward like ripples, enveloping all the figures lying below.
After the ripples of the blue light washed away, an illusory silk thread appeared on each clansman, and there was a connection with the totem spirit in the blue light.
The totem is like a guardian saint, deeply imprinted in the hearts of every clansman.
For a moment, he suddenly felt that there were illusory thoughts converging towards him, and a kind of thought of returning to his heart came out, which was the 'wishing power' required by the spirit of the totem.
The flesh and blood essence from the fierce beast was scorched by the green flames, and as time passed, the blue light began to dim, turning into a circle of light to encircle the dolls in the crowd, and the blue light spread out like smoke and mist, and merged into the dolls' bodies.
Totem blessing.
In an instant, all the clansmen stared at this group of dolls, especially the parents of the children, and there was excitement in their eyes, and the totem blessed their children.
A sense of identity flows through everyone.
Xia Tuo held the bone spear and held the beast skeleton pressed down on the top of his head, he turned his head to look at the totem pillar in the depths of the cave, and at this moment he seemed to see through the void and saw the depths of the totem pillar.
The blood-colored essence that lingered outside the totem god pillar, after fusing with the wish power generated by the clansmen, was inhaled by the sleeping totem spirit, although the totem spirit was still in silence, but it flashed a faint brilliance.
The blue light dissipated, and the blessed little ones staggered one by one, and then were held in the arms of their respective parents.
Xia Tuo waved his hand to signal the clansmen to disperse, he felt that his legs were filled with lead, very heavy, a sacrifice seemed to have nothing to do with him, but it made his mind drained.
Until now, in addition to knowing that his life is linked to the totem, he knows very little about the mysterious totem.
And if you want to peek at all this, the development of the tribe has become the top priority.
Turning around and walking towards the cave, waving his hand to signal Hong who had followed him to leave, Xia Tuo suddenly had a feeling of interest, entered the cave, and fell asleep regardless of the other soft animal skins.
Even if the sky fell at this moment, he would rather be crushed to death than move.
Wu walked into the cave and saw Xia Tuo who was sleeping heavily, but he didn't make a sound, turned around and walked out of the cave, and told the elders to settle the clansmen and return to their caves to continue to understand the witchcraft that they had never understood.
......
On the second day, Xia Tuo set up a tent wrapped in animal skins.
He stretched out his hands from the hide, stretched his waist, and took out the horned skull from under the hide.
After a sleep, he figured it out again, don't say anything, just do it.
Even if the little life is not tied to the totem, in such a world, there may be a crisis at any time, and the small life hangs in the balance, and it is not sure that one day it will be killed by sudden danger.
Anyway, it's all dead, what are you afraid of.
Walking out of the cave, there was a sound in my ears.
The people who are busy in the valley are fundamentally different from yesterday, and this sense of belonging is invisible and tangible, but it really exists.
The totem manifestation is a blessing to the dolls, which suddenly makes the clansmen have a head in their hearts.
"Patriarch. ”
The deer came to Xia Tuo's side, a few steps away, bowed slightly and shouted.
"Let's go. ”
With a wave of his hand, Xia Tuo motioned for the deer to follow him.
First found the Great Elder's reins, let him take care of the tribal affairs temporarily, and brought some things, before taking the deer out of the tribe and disappearing into the mountains and forests.
......
On the top of a mountain outside the Lu tribe, Xia Tuo looked into the valley in the distance, and could vaguely see people walking around.
Behind him stood with his hands in his hands, waiting for his command.
After the totem sacrifice, more than 800 people in the tribe have been on the right track, and they are self-sufficient in food and clothing, but the cultivation is always in a fog, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Not only that, but the tribe lives in a deep valley and has little contact with the outside world, which makes the tribe closed off from the outside world, and does not know the vastness of the outside world at all.
To this end, he is ready to use the Lu tribe as a breakthrough.
According to Lu, the mysterious person who entered the Lu tribe at the beginning must have come from a powerful tribe, otherwise the Lu tribe would not have been so respectful, you must know that he went to the Lu tribe to change salt, and the noses of the Lu tribe were all in the eyes.
"What treasure do you think the Lu tribe has to offer?"
Twisting a leaf, Xia Tuo groaned softly.
The deer bowed down and stood behind, thought for a moment and said, "The patriarch still needs to say, naturally it is salt." ”
Both of them carried a bamboo basket with distilled salt, water in a bamboo tube, and some dried potatoes, and a bow on the shoulders of the deer.
"The animal skins and bones that the surrounding scattered tribes have spent a lot of effort to hunt, and what they have in exchange for nothing more than salt mixed with a lot of earth and stones, what kind of powerful existence is it that makes the Lu tribe send it out so respectfully. ”
"The deer doesn't know. ”
Xia Tuo groaned, but he remembered that Wu said that the Wangu Mountain Range is very large, and there are some powerful tribes inside and outside the mountain range, and they have even entered the grade, could it be said that the person who entered the Lu tribe is from another powerful tribe, or even an inferior tribe that has entered the grade.
"Let's go, go and see the mountain path you follow the mysterious man. ”
Squinting his eyes for a moment at the valley where the Lu tribe was located, the figures of Xia Tuo and the deer disappeared on the top of the mountain.
