The Gate of the Genkai

Crow God Sacrifice

“whoosh”

A long cyan arrow, like a cyan lightning bolt, passed across the air, and sank into a section of yellow dead wood lying on a huge rock and covered by bushes.

The yellow dead wood that was not moving at all suddenly moved, tumbling madly into the air, smashing the nearby bushes to pieces.

It turned out that that section of yellow dead wood turned out to be the head of a huge boa constrictor as thick as a bucket. Its body was more than five feet long, its body was covered with rock-like scales, and there were some line-shaped patterns on it.

The arrow went straight into its head, leaving only a small section of tail feathers outside.

The giant yellow python’s huge body twisted and rolled, and its thick and long tail swept across. Several towering trees around were swept aside as if they were withered and decayed, and fell to the ground with a loud clattering sound.

After tumbling for a quarter of an hour, the giant python finally had a white bellySkin turned to the sky, and after a few twitches, it didn’t move anymore.

A few figures jumped out of a boulder twenty or thirty feet away. The one standing at the front was Shi Mu, and the others behind him were members of the Tengya tribe. Both Sha Jiao and Sha Xing were there. Carry less prey.

Shi Mu held a three-foot longbow with a yellow body and snake heads at both ends. A black bowstring was connected to the double snake mouths.

This longbow was exactly the Skybreaker Bow. In order not to be recognized by the barbarians, he smeared a ferocious beast’s blood on the bow, added some decorations, and dyed it yellow.

He looked at the longbow in his hand, with a hint of deep satisfaction in his eyes.

This sky-breaking bow is far more powerful than the previous purple steel bow. According to Feng Li, the runes on the bow are special witch scripts of barbarian tribes, which contain some mysterious prehistoric power, similar to human runes. The two have some similarities.

With the blessing of the power of these witch patterns, not only the shooting range of the breaking sky bow far exceeds that of the purple steel bow, but even the ordinary bows and arrows shot can also have some armor-piercing effects.

In addition, just injecting a little magic power can make the bow change in size within a certain range. It is very convenient to carry.

The boa constrictor that was shot was huge in size, and its strength was absolutely comparable to that of a mid-acquired martial artist, but with the cooperation of Tiansha Bow and Chasing Wind Arrow. But it is as fragile as an ordinary beast.

Several people quickly jumped to the side of the yellow python corpse.

Sha Xing kicked the giant python, but the huge python’s body only moved slightly, and a hint of horror appeared on its face.

“Brother Mu is so powerful.” He looked at Shi Mu with admiration and shouted.

“It’s not that the scales on this yellow-lined python change color according to the surrounding environment, and it doesn’t show any breath when it moves. It’s extremely cunning. And its scales are as strong as iron, and heavy weapons may not be able to cut them open. Brother Mu can actually use a bow and arrow to kill it. One hit kills you, you are the real Barut among our barbarians,” another blond curly-haired barbarian said loudly, his eyes full of admiration.

“Brother Huhan, you are over-rewarding, I just took advantage of the weapon.” Shi Mu smiled slightly.

Barut is the title of a warrior in the barbarians. Barbarians are martial, and they will only say this word to those they admire from the bottom of their hearts.

The color-changing ability of this yellow-line python is really tricky for ordinary people, but his eyesight is so sharp, plus the sky-shattering bow. Chasing the wind arrow just restrained.

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, bent down, and carefully pulled out the chasing arrow from the python’s head, wiped off the blood on it, and put it back into the quiver at his waist.

He snatched only thirteen wind-chasing arrows from the blue-skinned barbarian. These arrows are extremely powerful, but every time they are used, the power of witchcraft on the arrows will be reduced by a few points.

According to his estimate, a wind chasing arrow can only be used up to five times. The power of witchcraft above will disappear completely.

Several people around looked at the bow and arrow in Shi Mu’s hand with envious expressions on their faces.

The Tengya tribe is relatively poor, and there are very few weapons forged from metal and steel. Most of the tribesmen use weapons made of animal bones.

“Brother Mu. Is that bow and arrow of yours a witch weapon?” Sha Jiao asked with sparkling eyes.

“Probably.” Shi Mu nodded slightly, the sky-shattering bow in his hand flashed, and quickly shrunk to the size of a palm, and he put it in his arms.

“Okay, it’s getting late. We’ve caught a lot of prey, let’s go back to the village.” Sensing that Shi Mu didn’t want to talk about it, Sha Jiao changed the subject.

The other people agreed with a bang, and they quickly tied up the body of the yellow-line python and walked towards the village happily.

Laughter and laughter along the way.

The yellow-lined python is a fierce beast, and the snake skin can be used to make extremely high-grade soft armor. The snake tendons and snake bones are good materials for making bows and arrows, and they can also be exchanged for many things with other tribes.

In addition, snake meat can also be used to satisfy hunger, which is enough for the entire tribe to eat for a day or two.

A group of people brought a huge yellow line python back to the village, which immediately caused a sensation.

Some barbarian children in the tribe had never seen the corpse of the giant python, and even exclaimed and fought around chasing it.

Shi Mu stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking around.

The Tengya tribe has already made a lot of preparations for the evening ceremony. Several tall wooden platforms have been set up in the open square in the center of the tribe, and more than a dozen torches have been erected around them, but they have not been lit.

On the altar is placed a black bird carved with something unknown, lifelike and vivid.

Especially his blood-red eyes, faintly emitting a faint red light, as if a pair of real pupils are watching everything around.

Shi Mu frowned slightly, and when he looked carefully, that feeling disappeared again, as if it was his own illusion just now.

Sha Jiao and the others talked about the process of Shi Mu hunting the yellow-lined python, and everyone in the tribe suddenly exclaimed, and looked at Shi Mu with a little more respect.

“Hehe, Mr. Mu’s strength is really unfathomable, even the yellow line python can be hunted and killed.” After hearing this, the patriarch Sha Lang walked towards Shi Mu and laughed.

“Patriarch Sharon, you’re flattering me. I’m an outsider, and I can’t give you a gift for participating in your ministry’s grand ceremony, so I killed this python, which can be regarded as adding some tribute to the Crow God.” Shi Mu looked back and said with a smile.

“Mr. Mu is warm and generous.Generous, on behalf of Crow God, I accept your sincerity. ” Sharon put his hand on his chest and said solemnly.

As the head of the clan and also a priest, he is far more in awe of the Crow God than ordinary clansmen. Shi Mu’s words are very in line with his wishes, and he can’t help but greatly increase his favor for Shi Mu, and the little precautions he had before disappeared. saved.

After Sha Lang talked to Sha Jiao and Sha Xing a few more times, he called the people of his tribe to come forward and wash and strip the boa constrictor.

Standing aside, Shi Mu suddenly frowned.

The power of the totem curse in his chest suddenly exploded, and a scorching pain pierced into the depths of his soul like an awl.

His face suddenly turned pale, and his body shook for a while, but he quickly stood still.

“Mr. Mu, are you alright?” Sha Jiao asked with concern after noticing Shi Mu’s strange behavior.

“It’s okay, I’m just a little tired, I’ll go and rest for a while.” Shi Mu took a deep breath, and reluctantly shook his head and smiled at Sha Jiao.

After he went up to say hello to Sharon, he turned and walked towards the tribe’s residence.

Sha Jiao watched Shi Mu’s back go away, her plain and elegant face was slightly perplexed.

Shi Mu returned to his residence and quickly took off his clothes. The giant snake totem on his chest emitted a faint red light, and the red light flowed like blood.

Seeing this scene, his face darkened, the Myriad Tribulation Corpse Soul Curse finally began to erode his spirit.

Shi Mu took a deep breath, took out a fist-sized sapphire gourd from his body, pulled out the plug, and poured it carefully into the palm of his hand.

A light blue viscous crystal liquid flowed out, it was the blood essence of the one-horned viper that he bought before leaving Mist City.

Shi Mu carefully smeared the blue blood on the red python totem on his chest, a bone-chilling coolness spread out, and the red light emitted by the red python totem immediately faded away, and finally disappeared after a while.

He let out a long breath, and at this moment, his whole body was already dripping with sweat.

Shi Mu put away the gourd and stood up, walked to the window, looked at the vast sky in the east, clenched his fists, his eyes gradually became cold.

“Mother, Mu’er will definitely be able to survive and become the strongest, so don’t worry.”

Under the night, the bonfire was ignited fiercely, and the sky was reddened in a blink of an eye.

The annual ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods of the Tengcrow clan also kicked off.

Before offering sacrifices to the high platform, all the members of the Tengya clan gathered here, Shi Mu, Sha Lang, and other elders of the clan sat together.

The grand ceremony is divided into two steps. The first step is that Sharon, the family priest, comes to the altar and recites a hymn to the Crow God, and then the whole family offers offerings to the Crow God on the high platform, praying for the Crow God to protect the tribe in the coming year.

After the solemn sacrifice to the gods, there was a whole night of carnival.

A raging fire was lit in front of the high platform, and the high flames lit up the whole tribe.

There were a lot of people beside the fire, and all kinds of delicious meat that were rarely seen on weekdays were fully placed, allowing the Tengya tribe to take it by themselves.

Horn cups and camel bone bowls are full of fine wine, the sound of twelve strings is melodious, and the Tengya people hold hands and sing in unison, enthusiastically.

“Mr. Mu, please.” Sharon poured Shi Mu a bowl of wine and handed it over.

Shi Mu smiled slightly, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine made by the barbarians is naturally not as clear as the fine wine of the human race, but this wine is made from the gall of the yellow-lined python he killed during the day, and it exudes a unique fragrance, which is very refreshing.

“Good wine” Shi Mu put down the camel bone bowl, stroked his knees and praised.

“Mr. Mu, you are being polite. You are someone who has seen the world. How can our tribal wine get into your eyes.” Sharon said humbly, but the joy in his eyes deepened a little.

“The patriarch is too self-effacing. The spirits of your tribe are not only sweet and mellow, but especially after brewing with snake gall, it has a unique flavor that is not found in other places.” Shi Mu laughed loudly.

Although Sha Lang knew it was Shi Mu’s polite words, but he was very comfortable hearing it, and couldn’t help laughing.

At this moment, a burst of cheers came.

In the middle of the crowd in front of the fire, Sha Jiao appeared at some unknown time.

She was wearing a fiery red long dress at the moment, with a silver ring inlaid with crescent stones on her round forehead, and red thread and silver bells on her wrists and ankles. It set off her exquisite and elegant figure. To be continued. :
