After the hunting competition is over, there will be an even grander bonfire feast. The highlight is that the great witch will bless the bravest hunter fairly selected from each tribe and bestow the title of warrior.
It is at this juncture that Xu Chen wants to expose the false identity of the new shaman of the Uzbek tribe, introduce the great shaman of his tribe, and then turn this grand event to bless the warriors into a ceremony for the real new shaman to succeed to the throne.
However, this is the territory of the Uzbek people after all, and it is very difficult to predict what unpredictable situations will happen.
If the Wu tribe becomes angry and mobilizes the whole tribe to launch a bloody suppression of the Ba tribe, it is possible to snatch the new witch back.
Although according to his plan, the possibility is very, very low.
But who knows what crazy things these barbarians will do when provoked.
So Xu Chen took the mother and the little witch to a secluded place with no one around, and gave them careful instructions again.
Especially the little witch.
"You must do what I say, okay?"
"I know...Gah!"
Although Xu Chen had carefully explained this matter many times before coming here, the little witch was still very nervous, holding the scepter tightly and shaking slightly.
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen!"
Xu Chen gently rubbed the little witch's head through the hat.
The little witch lowered her head and took a few deep breaths, then looked up at Xu Chen, her eyes showing a hint of determination and nodded: "Your Majesty the Witch King, I'm not afraid!"
"Very good, you are a brave witch, you will definitely be favored by God, and you will become a real great witch in the future!" Xu Chen smiled and nodded.
Returning to the observation position again, Muba followed Xu Chen's instructions to chat with the chiefs of the other four tribes and some tribe leaders of the Wu tribe to continue communicating with each other.
Xu Chen, on the other hand, mingled with Long and other young hunters from the Uzbek tribe and started chatting and spanking.
Man proposes, God disposes.
If you want to succeed in anything, you must plan before taking action.
If there is no plan or the plan is full of loopholes, then don't think about success, God will not help you unless he is blind.
Under the crushing strength, everything is scum. Facing the huge tribe of Wu tribe, Xu Chen doesn't have many cards to play, so every card must be played well.
Favors, connections, sophistication, marriage, blood ties, feelings, property, and strategies must all be laid out. Only when the trump card of the great witch heir is finally revealed can he win with one blow.
…
The sun slowly rises into the sky.
Nearly three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was almost the end of the hunting competition.
"Gui Ga~~"
As the young savage who climbed up the big tree to observe called out in surprise, the men, women, and children who had been waiting anxiously became emotionally active. They crowded high and stood on tiptoe to look toward the river beach.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw a group of hunters walking out of the thick grass and thorns carrying their prey.
The first to come back was a group of hunters from the Hu ethnic group. More than ten people hunted three yellow sheep. The results were not as good as last year. They were not in a depressed mood. On the contrary, they were talking and laughing. It seemed that they did not take the competition seriously. They just
Just to participate in an entertainment game.
More than ten minutes later, the Muya tribe and the Ji tribe came back one after another. Their respective harvests were not big. Neither of them hunted large beasts. They were all medium-sized prey such as wild deer and wild sheep, which looked similar to those of the Hu tribe.
.
When the prey of the three tribes are placed together separately, none of them, big or small, looks very eye-catching.
Compared with last year's hunting competition, these prey seemed completely worth mentioning.
The first Hu tribe to come back at the beginning last year brought back a large adult wild deer. The teams that came back later carried either bison or wild boars. The U tribe even injured more than ten people and carried back a dragon.
But half of the team that has returned this year doesn't even have a decent prey.
Moreover, all the hunters were chatting and laughing in an extremely relaxed mood. They seemed to be indifferent to the mood of this hunting competition and seemed to be in a collective state of failure.
Because of the disappointment, all the onlookers naturally could not get excited. Instead, they shook their heads and sighed in great disappointment.
Muba and the chiefs of the four tribes seemed to have a clear understanding of each other and remained silent and wait-and-see on the matter.
But the Uzbek tribe leader and a group of leaders looked very ugly.
The new wizard takes the throne, prays for harvest, and blesses the brave hunters. This should be the most exciting activity, but it seems that other tribes are not willing to join in.
The problem caused by this is that other tribes obviously do not respect the new wizard enough.
Or rather, they are dissatisfied with the Uzbek people.
Xu Chen was a little confused at first, but he soon understood and laughed secretly in his heart. At the same time, he became more confident that his strategy would be successful.
It can be seen that a group of savages who are incapable of thinking quickly are not as simple and natural as imagined.
They still have their own ideas.
New Wu is young and immature, and its prestige is not enough to convince the public.
However, the Uzbek people's disorganization and lack of food for the Witch Lords Conference are also a key factor.
They are obviously using this behavior to put pressure on the Uzbek people and express their dissatisfaction.
They are dissatisfied, and the Uzbek people are naturally even more dissatisfied.
Because the Uzbek people have developed a strong and aloof style for a long time, this dissatisfaction will definitely burst out later in the blessing ceremony of the bonfire feast.
Xu Chen even began to reflect inwardly on how his own arrangements lacked this very important factor.
It seems that I am still not suitable to be a qualified leader.
This kind of thing should be secretly arranged with other tribes in advance, and this dissatisfaction can also be expressed more prominently.
The fourth person to come back is the Cang clan.
They had a relatively large number of people, and their harvest was quite generous. They had one half-sized bison, two wild sheep, and a small deer. Together they could equal the combined total of the three previous tribes.
This caused a burst of warm cheers and admiration from the onlookers.
The fifth person to come back was the Ba tribe, who had a relatively rich harvest and actually killed three wild boars.
The largest adult boar among them should weigh more than 300 kilograms.
The remaining two were half-baked cubs of one or two years old, lying on the ground with blood dripping on them and their fangs protruding, looking very domineering.
Feng and the other group of people were all sweating profusely and their faces were pale and exhausted. The team was completely scattered and invisible, and there were even two people walking with a limp. It was obvious that too much pile driving last night had consumed too much, leading to physical problems.
Xu Chen's face turned a little dark, but he could only hold back his anger.
The Uzbek tribe finally came back with a big harvest, including nearly ten wild animals of all sizes, including one semi-adult bison, and the rest were wild sheep, wild deer and other good-sized wild animals.
But these are herbivores. Compared with the wild boars hunted by the Ba people, although they are superior in quantity, their quality is not comparable.
Hunting competitions compete on bravery, so the more ferocious and powerful the beasts you kill, the more recognized you will be by everyone.
Sure enough, all the hunters who participated in the hunt began to vote. Soon, most of the spears were inserted around the wild boars representing the Ba tribe. The Wu tribe also got a lot, but in the end the Ba tribe still had more than twenty spears.
Quantity wins this hunting contest.
"Uga~~"
A group of men from the Ba tribe who were almost exhausted burst into cheers. The women from the Ba tribe who came with them also cheered excitedly. Hunters from several other tribes also stepped forward to hug and beat Ren Zhenfeng and their chests.
Congratulations.
The four clan chiefs who had been sitting and laughing with Mu Ba also expressed their congratulations to Mu Ba.
The overall mood of the Uzbek tribe is very gloomy. Both the hunters and the men, women, and children who are watching are very depressed. The Uzbek tribe leader and several leaders have even gloomier and ugly faces.
The team sent by the Ba tribe this year is very strong and they do have a chance to win.
However, the hunters arranged by the Uzbek tribe to participate in the competition this year are all strong men carefully selected from various tribes. Except that there is no leader as brave as the dragon last year, their strength is no worse than before.
Everyone thought that the Uzbek people would become the winner of the competition with a resounding victory like in previous years.
But the ending was somewhat unacceptable to them.
Although they did not want to admit the victory of the Ba people, the clear situation before them forced them to accept this reality.
When the hunting was over, the new wizard led everyone back to the valley carrying the hunted beasts.
The next step is to slaughter the beasts, hold a simple ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven, and the new shaman blesses the bravest hunter selected by the Ba people, and then there is a half-day of eating, drinking, carnival and trading time.
Under the bright autumn sun, the valley, river beach and surrounding mountains are full of autumn colors, with red and yellow intertwining in a colorful array.
The three eye-catching flags of the Ba people roared and rolled in the slightly chilly autumn wind.
After all the prey was slaughtered, some commemorative items such as horns, claws, teeth, bones, hearts, etc. were placed next to each other around the bonfire.
The new witch walked to the center of the crowd, surrounded by the leader of the Uzbek tribe and a large group of people.
Just when the new shaman was holding up his staff and leading the heads of the six clans and tribes, preparing to start the ceremony of thanking the gods for the rich flesh and blood food, suddenly a loud and melodious horn sounded from the crowd.
"Woo~wu~wu~~~~"
The sudden sound of the trumpet instantly startled the entire audience.
Not only did the new wizard who was about to start chanting a congratulation stop his movements, almost everyone turned back in fear.
I saw Xu Chen and the little witch shrouded in a strange cloak, guarded by Feng and a group of fully armed Ba men, holding the flag high and blowing the horn, striding towards the center of the field.
Amidst the sound of uniform footsteps, onlookers along the way moved away in fear, revealing a wide passage.
"Moxy Gaga?"
Angry Uzbek hunters surrounded them, trying to prevent Xu Chen and others from entering.
"Witch, you're fake!" Xu Chen pointed at the little witch in the center of the crowd and shouted.
"Wow~~"
In an instant, the audience's surprise turned into a violent commotion.
Whether it was a group of tribal chiefs participating in the ceremony or the onlookers, men, women, and children, they all looked around in fear and began to retreat. Some people even fell in the crowd and were trampled. The whole scene became chaotic.
The new wizard trembled in fright, the black scepter in his hand fell to the ground, and his face instantly turned pale.
