As soon as Bilig said these words, the eight priests present suddenly exploded.
"Master High Priest, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"The Gate of Warriors is not only a forbidden area for our clan, but also a place where our ancestors will forever rest. No matter what, we cannot allow the Hai clan to enter and tarnish the heroic spirits of our ancestors!"
For a time, most of the priests, both ferocious and ordinary, became excited.
"Haha, naturally I won't let them participate in vain. Tell them that for every 100,000 kilograms of refined iron or 200,000 stones of grain, they can exchange for one quota, up to two quotas." The high priest pursed his dry lips and spoke.
Calmly.
The voice was not loud, but it was filled with a sense of majesty. When the eight tribal priests present heard the words, they suddenly looked solemn and fell silent.
One more person means more strength. The two tribes have taken the initiative to form an alliance, so they will naturally have no choice when the time comes.
Fine iron and food have always been the most scarce supplies in the barbarian wilderness. Although the priests were still hesitant, they said nothing. After all, only four quotas were nothing to a hundred barbarian warriors.
"I dare to ask the high priest, this beast's cultivation level is one level lower than before, and the quality of its beast soul is very different. I wonder how to calculate the outcome of this hunting competition in the end?" The thin-eyed old man from the Fierce Snake Department seemed to have thought of something.
Asked.
"This matter is simple. The evil beast soul in the early stage of the day after tomorrow is an ordinary beast soul. The evil beast soul in the middle stage is equivalent to ten times the ordinary beast soul. The later stage is equivalent to a hundred times the ordinary beast soul. The Great Perfection is a thousand times. Innate
In the early stage, it was ten thousand times." The high priest said slowly.
After saying that, the high priest glanced at the Yanfang priest who had a gloomy expression intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyelids twitched, as if he was about to fall asleep again.
Upon seeing this, the eight priests stood up and left one after another. Soon, there was only one sleepy high priest left in the hall.
After a while.
In the Qingya Temple halfway up the holy mountain, Yanya priests and three other plain barbarian priests gathered together, and several of them were urgently discussing countermeasures.
Compared with the ferocious barbarians, the strength of the plain barbarians was not as good as the other's. This competition was obviously unfair. As for the human race's Princess Huowu and Shi Mu, they were ignored by these people.
After more than two hours, the three plain barbarian priests left one after another, but there was more or less a look of worry on their faces.
Soon, another servant walked out of the hall and walked towards the stone room where Princess Huowu lived.
…
"What the high priest means is that if we want to enter the Warrior's Gate, we have to use food or fine iron in exchange for a place?" Princess Huowu looked at the Yanya priest on the main seat with an ugly face.
"That's right, no one can change the high priest's decision. But everything you get in the secret realm can be yours." The Yanya priest nodded and said in a deep voice.
Princess Huowu frowned slightly and sat on the chair without saying a word.
Shi Mu on the side didn't show any emotion on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
This time, it can be said that there is no way out, but there is only one village with dark flowers and bright flowers.
Not long ago, he was still worried about how to find multiple vicious pythons, but now he had the opportunity to send them to his door.
"Okay, our human race is willing to provide 100,000 catties of refined iron and 200,000 grains. We want both places." After a moment, Princess Huowu raised her head and said firmly.
Although she knew that the barbarians were clearly trying to blackmail her, under the current circumstances, she could only agree first.
"Okay, now all the tribes are making preparations. When the Warrior Gate is officially opened, I will send someone to inform you." Priest Yanya was not surprised and nodded.
In the following time, Princess Huowu asked Priest Yanya about the situation of the Brave Gate.
Priest Yanya had no intention of hiding anything and spoke directly to the two of them.
It turns out that the Gate of Warriors is actually a place sealed by several priests of the ancient barbarians who jointly cast spells. The space inside is huge and retains the style of the ancient times. Therefore, many ferocious beasts that have long since disappeared from the outside world can still be found in it.
, there are many ancient ferocious beasts among them.
Every ten years at the barbarian sacrifice held in the Holy Land, the high priest will open the Warrior's Gate after praying, and each tribe will send teams to enter it to hunt ferocious beasts and obtain beast souls. This has also become a grand ceremony that each tribe attaches great importance to.
, because the beast soul level obtained in the Warrior's Gate is much better than that in the outside world.
…
In the following time, except for a trip to the barbarian market near the Holy Land, Shi Mu spent most of his time behind closed doors practicing hard.
In the market, Shi Mu prepared a medicinal powder that could restrain multiple pythons based on the ancient recipe he got from Min Tu. In addition, he purchased a batch of high-quality blank animal skin talismans to make low-level talismans.
According to his previous experiments, the lightening talisman drawn on this kind of animal skin talisman paper has a speed bonus effect that is at least about one-third higher than that of ordinary talismans.
In addition, Princess Huowu also specially sent three mid-level talismans, Han Yin Talisman, saying that they were for self-protection.
Although it is only the most common water-attribute talisman among the mid-level talismans, it is not something that Shi Mu can draw today.
With these preparations, Shi Mu felt a little more confident about the trip to the forbidden area.
…
A few days later, in the valley behind Baima Mountain.
The valley is very open, covering more than a hundred acres. Somewhere in the valley, there are many rectangular white boulders several feet in size standing on the ground. Each white boulder has a blood-red witch inscription engraved on its surface.
These boulders are arranged into a huge ring with a diameter of about a hundred feet, faintly forming a huge stone formation.
What is quite peculiar is that on some boulders, one or several rectangular white boulders are superimposed, either lying horizontally or upright. They seem chaotic, but they seem to contain some special meaning.
Not far from Stonehenge, there is a black altar about ten feet in size. The Flame Fang priest and seven other barbarian priests are standing in front of the altar with solemn expressions, silent, as if waiting for something.
In the open space in front of the altar, more than a hundred barbarians with different costumes stood clearly divided into two sides. Most of them were tall and strong, and they were much stronger than the other side in terms of body shape and momentum.
The stronger side is the acquired totem warriors of the four ferocious tribes, and the other side is the warriors of the four plain tribes.
At this time, Shi Mu stood side by side with Princess Huowu, standing next to the plain and barbaric side. Near the ferocious and barbaric side, seven or eight strange-looking people were surrounding a girl in a blue shirt, and they seemed to be the leader.
The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair-skinned skin, exquisite facial features, and a pair of big black eyes curiously looking in the direction of Stonehenge, seemingly very interested.
The weirdos next to this woman look similar to humans, except that some are covered with scales, and some have fin-like things on their ears. One of them even has a fish tail on his lower body, with bulging muscles all over his body, and
Holding a huge trident.
The cold gazes these weirdos looked at Princess Huowu intentionally or unintentionally were full of provocation.
Princess Huowu didn't care about this at all, and looked at the other party with a smile. Shi Mu took this opportunity to look over and look at the other party in the same grand manner.
These weirdos are naturally the Sea Clan. As for the girl in blue shirt, she should be the so-called Saintess of the Sea Clan.
The day before, he had learned from Min Tu that this holy girl was one of the two people sent by the Hai Clan this time, which made him look at her a few more times.
As a result, this sight made Shi Mu feel a vague sense of familiarity in his heart for some reason, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.
While Shi Mu was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, with a hint of hostility.
Shi Mu became wary, turned his head slightly, and looked in the direction of his gaze.
But it was an old barbarian man wearing a priest's robe and holding a red bone staff. His eyes were as slender as poisonous snakes, especially the wrinkled skin with a faint cyan color.
When the barbarian old man saw Shi Mu's glance coming towards him, the cold light in his eyes dimmed, and he looked away as if nothing had happened.
The words "Fire Snake Division" immediately flashed through Shi Mu's mind, but his face remained calm.
But at this moment, there was a slight commotion among the more than a hundred barbarians from the eight tribes of barbarians, and everyone turned their heads and looked at the mouth of the valley.
Shi Mu also looked over.
But it was a thin old barbarian man, holding a crutch that looked like a dead branch, walking slowly and leisurely from the mouth of the valley alone. He looked very old and frail.
Whether it was the priests of the eight tribes or the more than a hundred barbarian totem warriors, they became extremely respectful from the moment they saw the old man, and the provocative look they had when looking at each other was instantly gone.
Shi Mu was greatly surprised!
At this moment, how could he not understand that this thin, shaky old man from the barbarian tribe was none other than the most famous high priest among the barbarians, Bilig.
It's just that this old man doesn't show any aura on his body, just like an ordinary barbarian old man. He can't be connected with the rumored big man who can almost control the wind and rain among the barbarians...
Bilig walked very slowly, and every step seemed to consume all his strength. However, there was no trace of impatience on the faces of all the barbarians. They just watched the old man quietly as he walked towards the black altar step by step.
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
When the high priest stood on the black altar a full quarter of an hour later, the surrounding Yanya and other eight priests immediately dispersed and formed a circle with the altar as the center.
"Warriors of the Barbarian God, the Warrior Gate is about to open. Are you ready?"
Bilig stood on the altar that was as tall as one person, his hazy eyes slowly scanned the entire place, and he spoke slowly.
"yes!"
The whole place thundered, and the voices of hundreds of barbarian totem warriors immediately shook the entire back mountain valley and resounded through the sky.
Then, everyone started shouting and running towards the stone formation.
After Shi Mu and Huo Wu looked at each other, they followed the totem warriors of the plain barbarians away. The girl in blue shirt opposite whispered something to the people beside her, and took the half-human and half-human figure with her.
The strong fish clan also walked towards the stone formation.
The stone array with a diameter of 100 feet can accommodate more than 100 people, and it will not look crowded at all.
