"Two hundred thousand stones of grain..." the high priest muttered to himself, seeming to be weighing something.
"High Priest, totemism is the foundation of every tribe of our barbarian tribe. How can we allow humans to peep at it!" Yihe of the Fierce Snake tribe said angrily when he saw that the high priest seemed to be a little moved.
The other ferocious priests also joined in with their voices.
"Yihe, I know what you are thinking, but there is no right or wrong in the battlefield. Both sides are fighting for their lives. This kind of hatred should not be kept in our hearts for a long time. Nowadays, many tribes in our tribe are short of food and clothing. Two hundred thousand stones of food and grass can make a difference.
To save the young tribesmen from the suffering of hunger, you should put the overall situation first." The high priest turned his eyes to Yihe and said slowly.
When Yihe was looked at like this by the senile high priest Bilig, his body trembled and his expression became a little unnatural.
"This... since you, the high priest, have said so, my subordinates should obey it. But after all, this Shi Mu is the murderer who killed the young master of my clan. If my clan members find out about it, I will also tell the enemy the secret technique of my clan's totem.
I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the people of our tribe and make it difficult to convince the public." Yihe rolled his eyes and said with some embarrassment.
"What Priest Yihe said makes sense, so in your opinion, is there a way to achieve both ends?" the high priest pondered for a moment and said.
"Since this little brother Shi Mu wants the secret skill of his clan's totem, he must follow the way of our barbarians and obtain it based on his true ability. However, this opportunity is not given in vain, and the two hundred thousand stones of food will be the price.
." The solemn look on Yihe's face disappeared and he said in a calm tone.
"That's not a bad idea. Just tell me and listen to it. As long as Princess Huowu agrees." Bilig thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"But I don't know what Princess Huowu wants to do. Are you willing to give two hundred thousand stones of food in exchange for this opportunity?" Seeing what the high priest said, Yihe turned his eyes, looked at Shi Mu with a smile, and then said to Princess Huowu.
"As for the food, since I made a promise, I will not go back on it. I also ask Priest Yihe to explain clearly what method it will take. At the same time, I also hope that the high priest will uphold justice." Princess Huowu frowned slightly and said so.
He turned and looked at the high priest.
"Haha, your Highness Princess, you can rest assured that I, Yihe, always do things fairly. Our barbarian tribe respects the strong. The way to do this is to have a blood feud between Shi Mu and a totem warrior of our tribe. Only he won. Before, Shi Mu won.
All grievances were wiped out, and I told him the secret technique of my clan's totem. However, after all, this secret technique belongs to the top secret of our Fierce Snake Department. He also had to sign the clan's oath and deed, swearing that he could only learn it by himself and not to learn it again.
Inform the second person." Before the high priest could speak, Yihe said with a smile.
When Shi Mu heard this, he frowned slightly, but then he stood up as if nothing had happened.
"May I ask Priest Yihe, what will happen if Shi Mu is not as strong as the noble warrior and loses the competition?" Princess Huowu frowned and asked.
"Hey, if Shi Mu loses, he will naturally have to keep the three ferocious python souls." Yihe chuckled and finally revealed his purpose.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, and before Princess Huowu could speak, he took a step forward and said loudly:
"Okay, I agree to this competition."
In the main hall, the priests of the other seven tribes had different expressions when they saw this scene, especially the priests of the other three tribes of Fierce and Savage, who all looked at Shi Mu with a look of ridicule.
"Okay! Little brother Shi Mu is really cheerful. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Why don't we start now?" Yihe laughed and said.
"Wait a minute, may I ask Priest Yihe which totem warrior the Serpent Tribe is going to send?" Princess Huowu frowned and asked.
Yihe chuckled softly, clapped his hands, and made a move with one hand not far away. One of the several members of the Fierce Snake tribe standing beside the hall walked out.
Surprisingly, it was the tall and thin young man who hunted the innate beast soul before. He looked at Shi Mu with cold eyes and licked his lips.
Shi Mu's heart trembled slightly, and a surging invisible murderous aura rushed towards him. However, he dared to face even the ferocious beast in the middle stage of Xiantian. How could he care about the pressure of this momentum? His expression did not move at all, and he looked at it.
The tall and thin young man showed a hint of surprise on his face, and his pupils shrank slightly.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the outside of the hall at the same time.
A moment later, on the square in front of the Holy Snow Palace.
Hundreds of barbarians were talking around a ring that was more than ten feet in size. Most of them were soldiers who were taking a rest today, as well as some low-priced priests and servants on the holy mountain. They all came over to watch the excitement after hearing some news.
The days in the Holy Land are mostly uneventful, but a blood feud is a rare event. Especially this time it involves Uli, the legendary totem warrior of the Serpent Tribe, and everyone seems quite excited.
"Master Wu Li defeated the Mang Xiong of the Mang Niu tribe two years ago with only three moves. He is so powerful that I am afraid he has rarely encountered an opponent in the world. We can feast our eyes on him this time." A man in crazy clothes said.
The barbarian soldiers in lion costumes looked in the direction of the ring and said excitedly.
"Yes, I happened to be present on the day of the competition. Back then, Mang Xiong was known as the best warrior below the innate. This human race will definitely be in trouble!" Another red-tailed soldier nodded in agreement.
"Of course! The soul of the extreme snake is sealed in our Lord Wuli's body, but it has been rare to see it in the forbidden area for decades. After it has advanced to the acquired perfection, no one below the innate level can hurt him!" A body
The barbarian soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Serpent Tribe said proudly.
The words of the three people caused a chorus of echoes from the surroundings. The barbarians worshiped martial arts, especially the ferocious barbarian soldiers. What they most admired was a famous hero like Uli.
"Hmph, I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time. Haven't you heard? This human envoy just killed a three-headed python in the warrior's forbidden area. The three-headed python has innate mid-level strength. No matter how powerful Uli is,
Could it be more powerful than three ferocious pythons?" A soldier from the Golden Feather Tribe in the crowd sneered.
"Tsk, tsk, how could the warrior the day after tomorrow kill the three-headed python? He must have been lucky and happened to encounter a seriously injured three-headed python!" A low-level priest of the Savage Lion Division glanced at the opponent with disdain and said.
"I'm afraid this is the truth! This time we lost more than half of our ferocious warriors who entered the forbidden area. Maybe they went to hunt this beast, but failed, and this person missed it."
"Yes, I heard that this person is only in the mid-term acquired strength. It is not easy to survive in the forbidden area. It is said that except for the soul of a three-headed ferocious python, this person did not bring out any other beast souls!"
…
On the arena.
Shi Mu touched the ground with the iron black knife in his hand, turning a deaf ear to the endless discussions around him. He just looked at the tall, thin young man standing opposite him with a calm face and cold eyes.
This man had an upper body, a huge red python totem on his chest, and several scars on his face. He looked like a man who had experienced many battles. The surface of the long and narrow scimitar in his hand was covered with dense witchcraft inscriptions.
"I, Uli, respect the warriors the most in my life. I admire you very much for being able to kill three ferocious pythons from the forbidden area." Uli said with flashing eyes.
"That's ridiculous." Shi Mu said lightly.
Seeing that Shi Mu didn't want to say anything more, Wu Li's eyes flashed sharply.
Not far from the arena, there is a wide platform made of white stone that is about two feet high.
On the platform, the priests of the eight tribes of barbarians were sitting in a row. Among them, the priests of the four tribes of plain barbarians were mostly smiling, while among the four tribes of ferocious barbarians, except for Yihe of the fierce snake tribe, most of them were absent-minded.
On the largest main seat in the middle, the high priest Bilig was sitting in it, half asleep, while Princess Fire Dance was arranged to sit on the left side of the high priest.
Seeing that Shi Mu and the others were ready at this time, Yihe stood up and took two steps forward, glanced at Uli and Shi Mu respectively, and then announced loudly:
"Listen up, you two. In a blood feud, swords and swords have no eyes. If you know that you are defeated, it is better to admit defeat as soon as possible, otherwise your life or death will depend on it! The competition begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Mu's eyes flashed, he kicked the ground with his right foot, and his whole body shot out like an arrow from a string. With a wave of his right hand, thirteen black knife shadows appeared in an instant, and rushed toward Uli's head.
Down.
Uli sneered, and the red python totem on his chest flashed red, and red scales the size of eggs quickly appeared on his body, with a faint halo of light on the scales.
The witchcraft inscriptions on the scimitar in his hand also began to glow with green light, and slowly began to squirm. Soon, a large ball of green light enveloped the scimitar.
With a flash of his body, he rushed towards Shi Mu, and at the same time he raised the scimitar in his hand, and a green blade shadow, like a green whirlwind, faced the light of the sword transformed by Shi Mu.
Seeing that the two were about to come into contact, a strange look flashed in Uli's eyes, and the scimitar in his hand suddenly turned around. Without any regard for defense, it turned into a stream of blue light and struck Shi Mu on the head.
What's even more frightening is that the green sword's light was as fast as a bolt and its speed was as fast as thunder, leaving no room for Shi Mu to change his moves.
On the high platform, Princess Huowu's face changed. At such a close distance, even she could only change her tactics and retreat if she didn't want to hurt both sides. But what she was more worried about was that Uli was too fast, faster than Shi Mu.
Much.
When Yihe, who was not far away from Princess Huowu, saw this, a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well how powerful the snake beast soul was inside Uli. Without innate strength, it was impossible to break through its defenses.
The other ferocious priests finally had a smile on their faces, and the plain barbarian priests headed by Yan Ya did not change their expressions, but also had smiles on their faces.
The peace agreement between the human and barbarian tribes has been signed. Of course, they will not care about the life or death of an ordinary human guard. Even if the blood of a human envoy can slightly reduce the ferocious barbarians' resentment against the plain barbarians, they will be happy to see it.
The eyes of all the ferocious beasts around the ring showed excitement. The Mang Xiong who had reached the Great Perfection State the day after tomorrow, under Uli's lose-lose style of play, fought three moves, but in the end he was completely defeated. The human race in front of him was at best
Acquired late-stage strength will certainly not be an exception.
Even many Pingbarbarians couldn't help but applaud Uli's fierce and swift attacks.
