Twisted Realm

The arrival of Meng Xuan obviously attracted the attention of dozens of teenagers and girls present. They all turned around at the same time and looked at him with strange eyes.

"Tsk, let's see who's here. You can get lost and left behind with the team. If you go out hunting alone, will you go to the monster's lair alone?"

When a teenager saw Meng Xuan coming, a funny smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Meng Xuan glanced at the boy, wondering who this guy was. Sure enough, this idea just flashed, and soon a stream of information similar to "character introduction" came from the body he occupied.

Polanka, their family lives not far from Eggers' home. His parents are relatively powerful warriors in the tribe. He has learned fighting and hunting skills from his parents since he was a child, and can often obtain precious beasts left by his parents. meat, so he has a very strong physique from a young age and has excellent physical fitness. After adulthood, it is almost certain that he will join the tribe's hunting team and enjoy a very high status.

"Yeah, I'm going to be an adult after tonight, and I still get lost. I really want to secretly go to his residence at night to have a look and watch him for a whole night to see if he can wet the bed." Another physique The sturdy, pock-marked young man looked at Meng Xuan with a bit of ill will.

Who is this guy?

Meng Xuan thought of this again.

Kachabni was also born in a warrior family. His father was the vice-captain of the tribal inspection team. Among their peers this year, Kachabni was the strongest in terms of physical fitness and fighting skills. He once hunted a beast-level carnivorous beast by himself, and is considered to be the most likely to break through the physical limit and become a warrior among his peers.

These two guys were the guys who had bullied him from childhood as Bodaya said. In fact, this is also related to the character of Eggers' body.

His parents died when he was young, and he became a helpless existence. No one helped him. Even Bodaya needed to run around for his family and children, and it was impossible to put all his energy on him.

When I was a child, because the outside world was very dangerous, children of the same age often gathered together to play hunting games. In this game, because of his weak position, every time Eggers was forced to play the role of a beast, every time he would Encountered punches and kicks, and then was trampled under the feet by "warriors".

Eggers tried various methods to resist, escape and hide, but the tribe was so big, and his resistance aroused the conquest of Polanka and others, in exchange for more severe beatings.

And because the tribe itself needs the younger generation to maintain their ferocity, they just turn a blind eye to this situation.

Gradually, Eggers developed a withdrawn character. Except for a few children who were also killed in the hunting by their fathers or mothers, there were almost no people who could talk to him.

To a certain extent, in the tribal culture that admires the strong, he is the bottom of the oppressed.

In fact, this situation, even in the real world, in the modern world, is not uncommon.

Usually we call it "bullying".

"That's right, in my opinion, he shouldn't be given this chance. It's a blasphemy to the sacred sacrifice. It's better for Orog and Liligu. It's just that his parents died in battle. How many clansmen die in battle every year. Outside of the tribe, why can he be treated, is it great that both parents die?"

Another guy with wheat-colored skin, a large skeleton, thick and thick lips, a standard pear-shaped body, and some abnormally developed parts, said that he could be called a "girl" for the time being.

Gumede, the woman of Kachabni, should hold a "marriage ceremony" when she is an adult. She has good strength and should be able to join the hunting team. Among this group of young people, she is considered to be one of the best beauties. Many young people Coveted for her, it is said that this body will surely produce strong warriors in the future.

It's a pity that only the strongest man can be worthy of such a beautiful woman.

Although Meng Xuan doesn't know the beauty of this guy who looks almost like an orangutan in front of him...

Meng Xuan didn't pay much attention to the provocation of these little guys, although this scene should have actually appeared in history.

But in any case, it is another person who bears all this, a strange guy who has nothing to do with him in essence.

"Enough! Uncle Gegu and Aunt Baina died to protect the hunting party. It is only natural for Eggers to obtain this qualification! For the real warriors who sacrificed for the tribe, you should have respect and not talk about it here. !"

"Besides, the night festival itself is a gift of nature, and everyone has the possibility of being recognized by 'secret', maybe it's Eggers this time?"

At this moment, another girl who looked somewhat similar to Bodaya stood up and said angrily.

Sisiya, Bodaya's daughter, because of Bodaya's relationship, is one of Eggers' rare friends who can talk, although the other party doesn't like to talk to him very much.

"Che, Sicia, are you joking?"

Gumed sneered.

Others also cast strange glances, seemingly with a smile.

Just kidding, although the "hidden" power depends entirely on luck, luck often only favors the strong. This is the same truth since ancient times.

Polanka and Kakabni smiled and were about to speak, so that they could recognize the reality.

Bullying, of course, you have to resist in order to have pleasure.

"Cough, quiet."

At this moment, an old and low voice slowly came out from the center of the fire ring. After hearing this voice, all the teenagers immediately stiffened, and even Polanka and Kachabni, who were about to say something, immediately closed their eyes. He opened his mouth, for fear that a sound would arouse the dissatisfaction of the old man.

All eyes are on the center of the fire ring.

I saw the old man wearing a linen robe and wearing strange ornaments made of animal claws, animal bones, animal teeth, etc., watching the moon that was gradually climbing to the top in the sky.

"The time is almost up."

The old man muttered to himself in a low voice.

"On the offering!"

Afterwards, he turned his head and said to the adult tribal warrior standing by.

"Yes!"

The leader of the tribal warrior answered in a deep voice, and from another small house, he brought out the sacrifices needed for this night sacrifice.

The night sacrifice, in fact, is a kind of living sacrifice, and the most important sacrifice, of course, is to live.

And, not live animals, but living people.

These people are all prisoners in the war between the giant bear tribe and other tribes, and at this time, they serve as sacrifices.

They were tied to a wooden frame, blindfolded, and their mouths closed, and they were struggling in horror at this moment.

In addition to these sacrifices, there is a strange stone Gu. There are some strange things in the stone Gu, some are like some herbs, and some are still moving and moving. From the edge of the stone Gu, Meng Xuan I saw a palm-sized red centipede struggling to get out of the stone gu, but the stone gu seemed to be blocked by a special power, and any materials and creatures inside could not climb out of it.

The rickety and old tribal priest took a gavel from the warrior chief beside him. The gavel was similar to the wooden cone Meng Xuan used to identify his identity by dripping blood, and it was engraved with some strange lines.

The old priest cut his palm, allowing some dark and viscous blood to seep out of his skin. Then, he held the mallet with his bleeding hand.

His blood activated some of the power on the mallet, causing the lines on the mallet to glow faintly.

"This is the power of 'hidden'..."

"It can be used to treat injuries, strengthen the body, launch powerful attacks, and form a strong defense. Even a beast-level creature cannot break through this defense, and can use all kinds of strange abilities, regardless of the priest. Now that the old age has become like this, even the patriarch of our tribe, the 'warrior' who has broken through the limits of human beings and comprehends the power of qi and blood, can't compete with him. Without him, our tribe would not be able to stay in such a safe place. in this forest."

Sisiah looked at the glowing gavel in the old priest's hand, and longing flashed in his eyes.

"You, perform well for a while, are you proficient in offering sacrifices? Don't make mistakes at that time. To be honest, you can even fall behind with the big army. I really don't know how you did it."

"This opportunity for the night sacrifice was bought for you by your parents with their lives. My mother and father also contributed a lot in it. You should cherish it. Although you feel that the power of 'secret' is very slim, but After the baptism of the night sacrifice, you can often gain a stronger physique and potential, and you must concentrate all your energy and make no mistakes, you know?"

At this time, Xixia was like a big sister, facing her sloppy brother who couldn't support the wall in the mud, with a distressed and preaching look.

Still dancing?

Meng Xuan was dazed when he heard this, what the **** is Jiwu?

Seeing his appearance, he knew that he definitely didn't take the sacrifice to heart, which made Xixia's face jump, and if she wanted to jump up now, she would beat him severely.

She suppressed her unhappiness and tried her best to control her tone:

"Wait for you to follow my movements, the sacrifice dance is not complicated, you must not make mistakes."

Although she said that, she could be said to have completely given up on Eggers who Meng Xuan possessed at this time.

Forget it, let him fend for himself.

Sisia couldn't help shaking her head, if it wasn't for her mother's repeated orders, she wouldn't want to care about this guy.

Bang!

At this moment, with the light of the gavel in his hand reaching the maximum, the old priest raised the gavel high above his head and slammed it down at the stone Gu.

Click.

Everyone heard a strange sound, and saw some red, green, and purple strange juice splashing out from the stone Gu, and an incomparably strange smell similar to the body fluid of a stink bug permeated, and it was very high.

The old priest's face was serious, and he slammed down on the stone Gu one by one, making sure that all the materials in the stone Gu were crushed.

In the end, he lifted Stone Gu and poured all the mess inside into a wooden bucket.

At this moment, the moon finally climbed to the highest level in the sky.

A beam of bright moonlight was projected into the ring of fire like a spotlight on the stage.

"Come on! Everyone beware!"

The warrior leader said in a deep voice, at this moment, from outside this small stockade, a suppressed beast roar was faintly heard.

The warriors all took up their weapons and were ready to fight. Every year at the night festival, this place always attracted the attention of many beasts.

As the moonlight fell, everything around became a little unreal. Meng Xuan found that his eyes were distorted, the surrounding space was shaking, and countless inexplicable ghosts appeared in the circle of fire. That kind of power, It is somewhat similar to the mirage power Meng Xuan once felt in the virtual world, but it is different.

The power of the mirage is erratic, and if you have to use one word to describe this power.

That is complete.

It's like a perfect fusion of material and spiritual.

This is a power that does not exist in the real world and the virtual world.

In a way, it's more like an amalgamation of the power of two worlds.

This is the "ring" that represents perfection.

This power is very similar to the power of the ring that is naturally generated by extraordinary life!

This is the power of the natural ring!

And whether it is the virtual world or the real world, there is actually no natural ring force.

If there is such a natural power of the ring, the cultivation speed of the living body will not be comparable to the current system!

"Is this the hidden power?"

Meng Xuan whispered to himself, then he turned his head and found that the other teenagers and girls present did not seem to notice this strangeness. I think they did not have the willpower of Meng Xuan's level, and could not directly perceive the existence of this power.

On the night of the full moon, on this land, this power will fluctuate more obviously, making it easy for people to perceive it. No wonder the place for the night sacrifice is chosen here.

Meng Xuan found that when this abnormality appeared, the old priest's breathing became quicker and his movements became faster.

He took the stone bowl on the side, and then took out a wooden cone with a hole from the sackcloth. He walked over to a sacrifice tied to a cross, and slammed the wooden cone ruthlessly. It was inserted into his chest, causing the sacrifice to tremble violently.

Grumpy Grumpy!

The carvings on the wooden cone lit up, and the black-red blood flowed out from the hole in the wooden cone, and was picked up by the old priest in the bowl.

Three people, three bowls of fresh blood, the old priest mixed the blood into the wooden barrels containing various grinding materials, then stirred it evenly, and used a spoon to put it in dozens of wooden bowls that were ready.

"Come here, one bowl per person, drink it."

The old priest spoke to dozens of teenagers and girls participating in the night festival.

The crowd did not dare to delay, and immediately stepped forward and picked up a wooden bowl on the ground.

Sisiya took Meng Xuan and brought him a bowl. Meng Xuan was slightly speechless when he looked at this bowl, which was mixed with something that tasted incomparably high.

"What are you still doing? Drink it!"

Sisiya urged, pinched her nose, and drank all the strange things in the bowl in one gulp.

Okay, anyway, it's not that you haven't drunk something like this, and now it's just in the fantasy world shaped by the mind...

Meng Xuan remembered the potion he drank when he held the twisting secret medicine ceremony, and instantly felt that this one in front of him didn't seem to be unacceptable.

Meng Xuan pinched his nose and drank all the contents of the bowl in one gulp.

He felt that the big red centipede didn't seem to be dead, and its little tentacles were scraping its own esophagus...

With complicated thoughts in mind, Meng Xuan swallowed the medicinal liquid forcefully. The first feeling that followed was:

This thing is really on top!
