Chapter 13 Blood Offering Ceremony
Chapter 13 Blood Offering Ceremony
Good heavens, it pierced the heart!
Li Mosi's eyes widened.
Is Zi Yi experiencing a stroke of good luck as a newbie?
"Hmph—! Hmph—hmph—!"
Suddenly, the wild boar lay on its side on the ground and began to squeal and kick its four legs.
In this situation, it actually stood up again!
They even charged towards Li Mosi and Zi Yi!
The boulder on this side forms a slope, so it's quite possible for it to come up.
"Jump down."
Without wasting words, Li Mosi jumped off the boulder with Zi Yi.
Then they saw a huge black shadow fly overhead.
boom!
The wild boar crashed into a pine tree in mid-air, and after landing, it kicked its four legs and became a small spinning top.
However, he didn't get up this time.
As the final frenzy subsided, the wild boar's movements gradually weakened.
[Target Status: Death]
Zi asked cautiously, "Master, what's going on?"
"It's dead." Li Moss pulled out the dagger. "You shot it in the heart."
"heart?"
Zi Yi was somewhat puzzled.
Li Mosi paused for a moment, then pressed her left chest: "It's beating here."
Zi Yi suddenly realized, "Ah, the center."
It's not wrong.
The heart is indeed the power center.
Tap, tap...
"This is the fastest hunt I've ever seen."
An old goblin walked over from a distance, uttering a sigh.
Hunting a medium-sized wild animal typically takes at least a full day, from following the tracks to successfully killing it.
Not to mention large wild animals like wild boars.
But only a few minutes have passed, and with the time spent traveling, only half a morning has gone by.
"Master, please give me the dagger."
Li Moss handed the dagger to the old goblin, who then shouted in goblin language, "Come here! The chief has hunted a wild boar! The chief will personally partake of the blood!"
Ziyi provided simultaneous translation for Li Mosi.
Li Mosi asked in confusion, "Blood division?"
Zi Yi explained, "Goblins usually don't get salt, so drinking blood makes them stronger."
understood.
Li Mosi had only recently transmigrated here, and subconsciously felt that salt was readily available everywhere.
But in fact, this thing has always been relatively scarce.
Having the chief personally bleed the prey replenishes salt levels with fresh animal blood, removes the prey's blood to prevent the meat from being too fishy, and strengthens the chief's authority.
Li Mosi watched as the goblins gathered, and the old goblin took out two wooden bowls.
The strong goblins, looking dissatisfied, also gathered around.
The old goblin picked up a wooden bowl, used a dagger to cut open the wild boar's throat, and collected the first bowl of blood.
After filling the bowl, another wooden bowl was used to top it.
Next, the old goblin dipped his hand in blood and drew three lines on Zi Yi's forehead and each of his left and right cheeks, and then drew them on Li Mosi's forehead as well.
Zi Yi stepped onto the boar carcass and saw the tops of all the goblins' heads.
He first looked at Li Mosi and reached out to hand her the bowl, but Li Mosi waved her hand.
He didn't even want to smell that fishy odor while standing there.
Not to mention drinking blood.
But he remembered that he could only obtain his "Five Constants Points" by spreading the Five Constants philosophy.
Based on the characteristics of the system...
He guessed that the "Five Constant Virtues" were "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness".
He suddenly had a plan.
"Remember the three roads I mentioned yesterday?"
He said to his disciple.
"This is your time to show your 'benevolence,' share your blood with the goblins, and let them befriend you."
Zi Yi nodded, raised the wooden bowl high, and shouted, "Old One-Eyed, you were very brave when you chased after the wild boar and stabbed it in the rear end. This first bowl of blood is yours!"
"Thank you, new leader!"
A goblin with slightly wrinkled skin emerged from the goblin horde; it had only one eye.
This is definitely not a lackey of the strong goblin.
The strong goblin's minions are all healthy.
Upon seeing the one-eyed goblin step forward, the strong goblin bared its large teeth.
But the old goblin's cold snort calmed it down again.
The one-eyed goblin looked up at Ziyi, who was standing on the wild boar, raised his hands above his head to catch the wooden bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
When it put down the bowl, it licked its lips with a satisfied expression.
"Thank you, Chief!"
The one-eyed goblin returned to the party.
Zi Yi picked up the second bowl of blood, this time only half full: "Greedy! I saw you managing to pull your companion along while you were being chased, very good!"
This time, a slightly chubby goblin stepped forward.
"Thank you, new leader!"
……
Although wild boars are large, you can't collect much blood from them.
Even if only the first bowl is full, and the rest are only half full, you will only receive twelve bowls in the end.
Zi Yi picked up the last bowl and said to the strong goblin, "Strong kid, you were very brave to lure the wild boar to the right spot. This bowl is for you."
"snort."
The strong goblin didn't take the wooden bowl; instead, he immediately broke formation and walked towards the back of the line.
Li Mosi then realized what Zi Yi had been trying to do.
Zi Yi's expression remained unchanged as he pointed the wooden bowl at another goblin: "Big Tooth, you've got guts to lure the wild boar from afar to this spot. Here, take this bowl."
"Molars?"
"It's not following the strong boy..."
Upon hearing this, the goblins began to discuss it in surprise.
Li Mosi looked in the direction Zi Yi had pointed and saw a goblin staring blankly at the wooden bowl in his hand.
It was a goblin with canines so big they pushed up its lips.
Those were the strong goblin's underlings.
The strong goblin's eyes widened as it roared from the back of the group.
"Big Tooth!"
The sound startled Da Ya, who had been stunned just moments before.
It turned its head to look at the strong goblin, then at Zi Yi, who was standing on the boar carcass.
Then, the old goblin took a step forward.
The strong goblin gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Da Ya walked stiffly to Zi Yi, raised his hands above his head, and caught the wooden bowl.
"Thank you, new leader!"
"snort!"
The strong goblin gritted his teeth and walked to the back of the line, his eyes wide open, staring at Zi Yi, who was taller than all the other goblins.
……
So hungry, so dizzy...
Inside the cave, the saint sat leaning against the wall, feeling her mind growing increasingly foggy and her body becoming weaker.
Looking at the dozen or so goblins boiling water in the cave, she felt like she had returned to yesterday.
This time, however, she was not accompanied by that human civilian.
Why did things turn out this way?
He had just gained the authority to command the Fifth Guardian Warriors.
Once we confirm the Silver Dragon's condition, we can go back and try to get the expedition mining team.
His own power was clearly expanding rapidly.
Why is this happening?
She didn't even know who had betrayed her.
Herderbeth only remembered waking up in this cave and losing contact with the God of Light, unable to cast any divine spells.
Shining the sun on it won't help.
For the first time, the sun overhead seemed so unfamiliar to her.
"Quick, quick, come and share the prey!"
Suddenly, a series of squeaking and screeching sounds came from outside the cave.
The goblins inside the cave became excited.
"Let's go out and divide the prey!"
"Take the humans out and hand them over to the elders!"
Hedbeth watched as the goblin approached, pulled him up, and dragged him out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the goblins split into two groups.
One of them lagged behind, surrounding Li Mosi, the elder, and Zi Yi.
One walked in front, with some of them close to the strong goblin, and the rest scattered in the middle.
The dozen or so goblins behind them were carrying a huge wild boar that had undergone preliminary treatment.
They're back from the hunt already?
The saintess looked up.
It's only almost noon!
