Staffgard, this is the name of the wild land to the east of the plane.
It is the home of barbarians and nomads, as well as various ethnic groups and tribes.
Like the rest of the plane, Staffgard continues to experience the changing seasons. Spring goes, summer passes, autumn comes, winter is coming.
Autumn is the harvest season.
The fields tilled in spring and summer bear fruits, and the livestock prepared for the winter in the sheds become fat. The average person in the world may not know that during this period, when people were busy harvesting wheat fields, in Staffgard, in order to celebrate the harvest, the barbarian tribes would join forces with the nomadic tribes to hold a grand celebration to worship their ancestors and give thanks to the earth.
At the celebration, the barbarians and nomads who were the organizers united with humanoids such as centaurs, cyclops, harpies, etc., and piled up the straw straws and weeds that they had accumulated in daily life, one after another. They were tied up and piled up, and the extremely hard giant wood stabbed them into strings, and the powerful craftsmen nailed them into shape. In the end, a giant scarecrow with a height of tens of meters stood on the land. Then, on the holiday, it was made by The king of this earth personally lit the scarecrow and let it burn brightly together with the celebration for seven days and seven nights.
What ordinary people don't know is that on the day before a holiday, those wise elders will quietly take out the Holy Grail of Power, which usually never sees the light of day, and bury it in the scarecrow under the cover of the night. Under the cover of the celebration, The blessings of the Holy Grail of Power quietly fall on every person and every child, stimulating their own potential and bringing them a brighter future.
Of course, the simple tribesmen have never cared about the increase in their own strength, let alone the existence of the Holy Grail. After all, the ceremony itself is enough to make them forget to leave.
Performances, juggling, entertainment, singing and dancing.
The big-eating barbarians who usually hold back their appetites can finally let go, untie their belts, eat and drink to their heart's content. The nomadic girls who usually live on the grasslands and on horseback make their home all over the world. She changed from her usual smart short robe to gold and silver, painted her cheeks, put on a new set of nice and clean clothes, and appeared in her most beautiful appearance. The astonished rough guys were stunned for a moment, scratching their heads and wanting to talk to each other, but they My face was red and my ears were stuck in my throat, and I couldn't hold back a decent punctuation mark even though I was going back and forth.
Of course, since it is a celebration jointly sponsored by two tribes, in addition to the smiles on people's faces, it is also indispensable that the warriors of the two tribes compete on the same stage. For the most grand celebration of the year, those who have been training hard on weekdays are indispensable. They are now gearing up to defeat opponents from other tribes on the stage that attracts everyone's attention and gain the highest honor!
As for the finale of the celebration, the competition between the strongest warriors of the barbarian tribe and the nomadic tribe, their stage is not the 40-meter by 40-meter granite arena at the ceremony. Their stage is in another world -
Tianlei Valley.
Here, there are mountains with an altitude of more than a thousand meters, and the thunderbirds are perched on the top of these mountains. As a fourth-level ancient bloodline, Thunderbird not only has a strong physique and amazing speed, but also has dark golden feathers that can control the power of thunder and lightning.
These ancient creatures at the top of the food chain nest leisurely on the roof of this far east continent, looking down indifferently at the clouds and clouds of the world. Any enemy who dares to offend their territory will be punished by thunder and sharp claws. Sharp Beak's Double Judgment!
In fact, precisely because of the existence of these ancient bloodlines, there are dark thunderclouds floating on the mountainside of the valley all year round. The thunderclouds are constantly tumbling, and the lightning that destroys the heaven and earth occasionally visits the earth at the foot of the mountain, which makes people feel fearful. Over time, the secret of the thunderbirds’ habitat here was passed down from word to mouth, and this valley was also named Thunder Valley.
The most exciting moment of the celebration is watching the strongest warriors of the two tribes overcome many difficulties and steal the thunderbird egg at the top of the Thunder Valley.
These thunderbird eggs are not only the highest medal of bravery and martial arts, but also a rare treasure of heaven and earth. They will be hatched, grown, and trained under the careful care of dedicated people, and will eventually become the guardian beasts of the group, protecting this land from invasion. After the Thunderbird dies, the fur and claws of these guardian beasts will be forged again. It becomes a powerful holy weapon and is given to the most courageous warriors in the clan.
The danger of this life-or-death adventure is also obvious: Warriors with extraordinary physical strength and perseverance must first climb thousands of meters high from the foot of the mountain, pass through layers of thunderclouds, and then pass through the mountains. After overcoming the obstacles of natural danger, they must hide their bodies and escape into the shadows, so that they cannot be discovered by any thunderbirds.
Thunderbirds are social creatures. If you provoke one, you will provoke all the thunderbirds. Maybe a strong person can fend off one or two lone thunderbirds, but if you are besieged by a flock of thunderbirds, five thunderbirds will be the inevitable end. Even the barbarian warriors with demonic qualities may not be able to retreat safely in the thunder and lightning clouds.
However, in the past ten years or so, due to the emergence of those two warriors, there has never been an accident in which a barbarian warrior or a nomad warrior died in the Tianlei Valley in such a near-death competition.
In fact, since the two warriors are equally powerful, the goal of this competition has changed from the original "Victory as long as you get the Thunderbird Egg alive and return to the ground" to "Be the first to get the Thunderbird Egg" The winner is the one who breaks the egg and returns to the ground first."
As for the names of these two warriors, they were already heard in the sky amidst the shouts and cheers of the clan members——
The king of the barbarian tribe, Wozak;
The leader of the nomadic tribe, Lin Yin'er.
