Chapter 59 The Great Sacrifice (1)
Finally, the day of the great sacrifice has come.
Ye Xi woke up very early that day, lying on the animal skin, he opened his eyes to look at the dark ceiling of the cave, and touched his left chest with his right hand.
Jump a little faster here.
Ye Xi sat up and let out a deep breath.
Today he will be a warrior.
The scene when he first came to the tribe flashed through his mind, and the power of the totem warrior that he once looked up to was now only one step away from him.
Approaching the entrance of the cave, a gust of wind with moist water vapor blows head-on.
Ye Xi was stunned to find that it was pouring rain outside, the ground was covered with dense rain curtains, and the water vapor was constantly blown into the cave by the wind.
It was very lively at the entrance of the cave. It seemed that all the clansmen got up, huddled together, and discussed enthusiastically at the entrance of the cave.
Ye Xi glanced at it and found that the clansmen had all dressed up in meditation.
The original straw skirt was gone, replaced by a variety of animal skins. It seemed that after a serious wash, the greasy hair became fresh and refreshing, and it was covered with bone ornaments. When he walked, the bell rang. make a sound.
Everyone was very excited, and was not affected by the downpour outside the cave at all.
Cone Zheng, who was covered in bone ornaments and braided countless small braids, was talking to someone with a smile on his face, and when he saw Ye Xi coming over to finish the conversation with others, he came to say hello: "Ye Xi, you are getting up too!"
Ye Xi nodded, looked at his new hairstyle, felt a bit irritated, and silently declined to comment.
Aui noticed Ye Xi's eyes, shook his head, and said proudly, "Look at my braid, isn't it beautiful!" As he shook his head, a lot of bone ornaments hanging on the braid clapped. ring.
"This is what Eminem spent all morning doing for me!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that a white animal tooth was thrown off by his swaying action.
"Ah!" Cone hurriedly bent over to pick it up, and wiped off the muddy animal tooth with his fingers, "It actually fell off, Ye Xi, help me put it on!" After that, he stuffed the animal tooth into him.
Ye Xi held the animal tooth and looked at the back of his head, who was squatting half-squatted in front of him, embarrassed.
He studied the cone's hair and found that all the bone ornaments were tied with hair. Looking down at the animal's teeth, he found that there was indeed a small hole in it.
Ye Xi threaded his hair into the animal's teeth like a needle, and then tied it with a dead knot.
"All right."
Cone touched his hair and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
"……You're welcome."
Cone glanced at Ye Xi's empty hair without any bone ornaments, and said enthusiastically, "Ye Xi, let me braid your hair for you!"
Cone thought to himself, poor Ye Xi didn't have Eminem, and the clan had never seen him get close to any woman, so no one would help him tie his hair.
Ye Xi's face stiffened, and he looked at the small braids on his head and the at least fifty bone ornaments on it, and said firmly, "No need."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
"...It's raining so hard today, is there still a big sacrifice?" Ye Xi hurriedly changed the subject.
Cone glanced at Ye Xi strangely: "Of course, how could the big sacrifice be postponed because of the rain."
At this time, Ye Xiyuguang caught a glimpse of Mink standing in the corner, and after talking to Zhui, walked in the direction of Mink.
In the corner, Mink lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Xi stood in front of him: "Sable."
Mink slowly raised his head and saw that Ye Xi did not speak.
There was no trace of expression in these eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, and the slave tattoos on the cheeks were particularly conspicuous.
Although he was taken to Tushan by Ye Xi, he still seemed to be the taciturn slave in the Heizawa tribe, and his whole person exuded a sense of loneliness.
Ye Xi said bluntly, "Do you want to be a warrior?"
Mink's eyes suddenly changed,
There seemed to be flames jumping in his eyes, but he still didn't speak.
"Do you want to?" Ye Xi asked again.
Mink gritted his teeth, his voice was hoarse, and a word was squeezed out of the teeth: "...think."
He dreams of revenge, longing for himself to become stronger, he hates himself for being weak, and hates that he has no ability to fight back when facing the enemy, so he can only let them trample himself on the soles of his feet.
But even if you think about it, what's the use, even if your talent is amazing, what's the use! It's already good that the Tushan tribe can take in themselves, so why would they still make themselves a warrior?
Hearing the answer, Ye Xi stretched out his hand in front of him and spread it out. Inside was a beast's core the size of an emerald green jujube.
Sable looked at it and his pupils shrank, then suddenly raised his head to look at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi smiled slightly: "This is for you."
Mink shuddered: "...This is the pure-blooded beast core, the one that you desperately killed. You gave it to me? Then what did you use for yourself?"
"Take it, I still have one." Ye Xi put the beast core into Mink's hand and said softly, "Use it well and make yourself stronger, don't let me regret this decision."
Sable tightly clenched the beast core in his hand, and something in his eyes became different at this moment.
"……it is good."
At this time, there was a burst of footsteps in the cave.
"Come here!" The clansmen stopped talking immediately, and all looked into the cave with excitement on their faces.
From the depths of the cave came a group of warriors in costumes.
Ye Xi originally thought that the cones he just saw were exaggerated enough, but when he saw them, he knew what it meant, only more exaggerated, not the most exaggerated.
The head of the chief wears two horns that are half a meter long, and an unknown huge white-bone animal head hangs on his chest. The wrists and neck are covered with heavy necklaces, some of which are made of animal bones and some unknown ore. of.
Behind them are a group of warriors, each of which is also very exaggeratedly dressed, and some have many colorful feathers on their heads, like peacocks with open screens, all kinds of dazzling.
After Ye Xi looked at their outfits, he looked down at himself in a simple black snakeskin coat, and silently reflected on himself.
The chief's gaze swept to Ye Xi, who was dressed so plainly in the crowd, and his gaze paused before continuing to move forward.
Regardless of the pouring rain outside, all the soldiers walked into the rain curtain without a pause.
When all the soldiers walked out of the cave, Ye Xi said to Diao, "Let's go too!"
The rain was so heavy that as soon as they walked out of the cave, everyone was instantly drenched in soup.
The rain kept pouring down and flowing into his eyes. Ye Xi stood in the heavy rain with his eyes squinted, brushing the rain off his face from time to time.
Everyone stood neatly in the open space. Whether they were soldiers or ordinary people, they all looked at the cave, as if they were waiting for something.
No one spoke, everyone stood silently in the rain, each body stood upright, especially the soldiers, like towers made of steel, exuding a silent momentum in the silence.
Ye Xi saw that everyone did not speak, and he did not speak, and looked at the cave with everyone.
After a while, heavy footsteps came from the cave.
Ye Xi opened his eyes slightly.
I saw ten warriors stepping out of the cave one after another carrying five super huge drums.
The giant drum is two meters in diameter, and there is no problem standing on it and dancing on it.
The drum body is dyed a uniform dark red with unknown dyes, and is carved with complicated patterns, which is very beautifully made. There is a huge and hideous white bone animal head hanging on the front of each drum body.
The bones of these beast heads are as white as jade, exuding a faint light, and they are by no means comparable to the bones of mixed-blooded beasts.
Ye Xi suspected that these were the heads of pure-blooded beasts.
The drums were supposed to be very heavy, because even the two warriors seemed to be struggling to carry them together, their faces flushed, the muscles in their arms bulging, and every step they took was very heavy footsteps.
The rain soaked the ground, the soil became soft and muddy, and the ankles of the warriors carrying the drums sank into the mud.
The ten soldiers lined up the drums one by one, gently placed them on the ground, and stood silently behind the drums with their heads bowed.
Some warriors brought logs one by one and stacked them on the ground with a strange rule.
Crash.
The bean-heavy rain kept smashing down, hitting the jungle and hitting the ground, making a loud crackling sound.
However, Ye Xi found that when the rain fell on the drum surface, there was not even a sound.
After ten breaths, a familiar figure slowly stepped out of the cave.
That is witch.
Wu changed into pure white linen clothes, and his hair was not as messy as usual. He took care of it carefully and tied it neatly and smoothly behind his head.
Leaning on a bone staff, he stepped into the rain without hesitation.
"Wu!" Everyone saluted neatly to Wu, and their voices were loud.
Wu nodded, looked around the clan, and announced.
"The big sacrifice begins!"
