Yang Cheng arrived not to embarrass Yanhu and the other totem warriors.
The reason why he needs to go to this exchange ceremony is that the development of the tribe has slowly entered a bottleneck period. The surrounding ferocious beasts have almost been cleared away. Even with the existence of nets, the prey hunted in the future will be more and more. Come less and less.
So Yang Cheng's next plan is to wait until spring next year for planting, which will require plant seeds.
Near the tribe, Yang Cheng found no seeds that could be sown, so he wanted to go to the exchange ceremony to have a look.
Furthermore, Yang Cheng also wants to see the world. It has been a month since he came to this world, and the furthest place Yang Cheng has ever been is three kilometers away from the tribe.
Yan Hu and the others went to prepare, and Yang Cheng also walked down to see if there was anything he had missed.
But as soon as he came down from the high wooden platform, he was blocked by six beast-eared girls.
"Wu, we're going too!" Yan Lin said loudly.
"No!" Yang Cheng shook his head with a firm attitude.
"Why?" Xing pouted, her succubus-like tail wagging.
"You are too weak. You are still ninth-grade totem warriors. You have no ability to protect yourself in the wilderness. You still need Yanhu and the others to protect you."
Yang Cheng said without politeness at all.
Although Yan Lin, Xing and the other five beast-eared girls have awakened the power of the totem for a month, the level of the totem warrior requires a long time to hone the energy and blood, and the higher the level, the slower it becomes.
This can be seen from the fact that Yanhu and Cangshi stayed at the seventh-grade totem warrior level for three years before being upgraded to the sixth-grade totem warrior.
It is true that Yan Lin and Xing are born with great strength and talent, but tempering their Qi and blood cannot be accomplished overnight.
Yang Cheng didn't want these beast-eared girls to go to the wilderness to die in vain, not to mention that Xia among them was a totem he drew the day before yesterday and had not yet awakened the power of the totem.
"Then Wu, don't you still need my father's protection?" Yan Lin retorted.
"Yes, Yanhu and the others are protecting me, so there is no other power to protect you."
"...That seems to make sense."
The beast-eared girls felt that what Yang Cheng said made sense, and were speechless for a moment. Then they stopped one by one, hanging their heads and feeling dejected.
"Okay, you just stay in the tribe obediently." Yang Cheng comforted: "After we left, the number of totem warriors in the tribe decreased, and the danger increased. We need you to protect the tribe!"
"But... I feel very uncomfortable when I think about being separated from Wu for so long..."
The beast-eared girls lowered their heads and kicked the stones on the ground with their toes, very reluctantly.
well……
Since ancient times, separation has been something that everyone does not want to encounter.
"I'll teach you a way."
Yang Cheng thought for a while, found a piece of withered grass, and made a five-pointed star in front of the six beast-eared ladies.
The beast-ear girls saw that a simple withered grass turned into a five-pointed star in Yang Cheng's heart. The reluctance just now disappeared all of a sudden, their eyes lit up, and they all clamored to learn.
Yang Cheng taught them how to weave a five-pointed star, and then found a 30-centimeter-high clay pot and said to them: "You make up a five-pointed star every day and throw it into this clay pot. When the clay pot is full, , and I’m back.”
"good."
The six beast-eared girls nodded obediently, then ignored Yang Cheng and compared who made up the five-pointed star to look better, completely losing the feeling of separation and farewell just now.
Alas... these beast-eared girls...
Yang Cheng was speechless.
After checking that nothing of his was left behind, Yang Cheng went to the place prepared by Yanhu and the others.
Yanhu is carefully wrapping the pottery pots and bowls with animal skins. These are going to the exchange ceremony for trading.
In addition to pottery, Yang Cheng also prepared several nets, which can be used for hunting on the road and for trading.
As well as various dried beast meat and fish, as well as some gadgets made by the tribesmen themselves, such as bone knives made of sharp-horned pig horns, pendants made of fanged wolf teeth...
Originally, Yanhu said that he would kill two sixth-grade ferocious beasts and bring them to the exchange ceremony, but Yang Cheng thought about it and didn't let him go. Based on the little information he already knew, it can be determined that the exchange ceremony mainly involves the meat of high-grade ferocious beasts. Lord.
Because of some kind of power in this world, the more advanced the bodies of ferocious beasts are, the less likely they are to break and can be preserved for a longer period of time.
Since all high-grade ferocious beasts are traded in the trading ceremony, if we bring the corpses of high-grade ferocious beasts to trade, they will have no characteristics, and the value will not be much higher. We will continue to bring more dried ferocious beasts. Meat and fish.
In addition to ordinary things, Yang Cheng also asked Yanhu to hang five or six witch dominoes on each body, including healing, refreshing, and quick walking techniques.
Wu dominoes are made by Yang Cheng these days.
During these five or six days, he never left the cave at all. During the day, he made witch dominoes. At night, he entered the meditation space to replenish his witchcraft power and study witchcraft. He continued to make witch dominoes the next day.
Not only did each totem warrior in the tribe have two witch dominoes hanging on their bodies, but there were also more than a dozen witch dominoes prepared for trading.
After Yang Cheng asked Yanhu and the others to pack everything up and check that there were no mistakes, he did not set off immediately, but held a sacrificial ceremony...
A large fire was lit in the atmosphere of the tribe. In front of the fire, Yang Cheng was holding a white bone crutch left by the previous shaman. He was standing in place wearing a large coat made of animal skin, with his head filled with four-legged chickens. Feathers plucked from the body.
The other tribesmen were led by Mu Qing. Each tribesman had horizontal lines drawn with mud on their faces, and they also had feathers from ferocious beasts on their heads, but not as many as those on Yang Cheng's head. One by one, they were dancing wildly in front of the fire. He got up and shouted something unknown.
However, they were dancing wildly among the demons, but everyone had serious expressions on their faces.
After dancing wildly for a while, a seventh-level ferocious beast was pulled in front of everyone by two totem warriors in a net.
Yanhu held the bone knife, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and he cut a wound on the neck of the ferocious beast, and blood flowed out instantly.
When the blood turned the ground bright red and the beast roared and lost its life, Yanhu and Cangshi put the beast's body on a wooden shelf.
On the wooden shelf, wild fruits, nets, salt, pottery, clear water and various other things have been placed, and behind these things, there is a human figure that Lulu has been working overtime these days to bake. Pottery – This is Grandmother Earth.
The sacrificial ceremony was very solemn, and the whole tribe was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Even Yang Cheng stopped making funny comments after being manipulated and looked at his appearance, and became serious.
No need for Mu Qing to say more, the tribesmen led by Yang Cheng finally bowed to the human-shaped pottery.
"Grandma Earth, please bless me for my safe return." Yang Cheng said silently.
After the sacrifice is completed.
With everyone watching, Yang Cheng led ten totem warriors carrying bags full of animal skins, leaving the wall and embarking on the wilderness.
And watching them disappear after leaving, under Cangshi's order, the suspension bridge was pulled up at once, and then tied tightly to the earth wall with vines.
The next time it is put down will be when Yang Cheng and the others return.
