Zhuang Ming, Leader Yan, and a three-foot-tall black-scaled divine tiger left the tribe.
This fierce tiger is three feet tall, and its back is quite spacious. With the protection of magical power, it is as flat as the ground.
Zhuang Ming and Chief Yan sat on it and chatted on it while the tiger drove on.
The black-scaled divine tiger felt quite humiliated. When he was still a one-horned liger, he had never suffered such humiliation. Who would have thought that after being promoted, he was actually being ridden on his back... If it was just that young man, that would be fine, but the hand
Is the guy holding the bone bow worthy of riding on his back?
The black-scaled tiger thought like this, thinking to himself that if this young man left, it would sooner or later eat this guy named Leader Yan.
"How much does Chief Yan know about this grand sacrificial event in Jiashi City?"
"This is a grand event that has been in my grandfather's generation for more than a hundred years."
"More than a hundred years..." Zhuang Ming thought in his heart. To ordinary people, more than a hundred years is already several generations apart, but to a practitioner, it seems like yesterday. Compared with the time since the great tribulation in ancient times, it seems like yesterday.
of 60,000 years, these more than 100 years are only considered recent days.
"Jieshi City is more than two hundred years old." Leader Yan said: "It was originally a powerful tribe. It surrounded the tribe with stones and built the most unbreakable place in the stargazing area. Two hundred years ago, their powerful leader seemed to have broken through.
Reaching the legendary Zhenxuan realm, they expanded their tribe... The interior of their tribe was in the center, and the outside was piled with stones to accommodate outsiders' transactions and exchange for things. Over time, it was called Jieshi City, and their leader, who called himself
City Lord."
"What about this grand ceremony to worship the gods?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"I heard that more than a hundred years ago, there were natural and man-made disasters, lack of food, and many people died. Later, a small tribe dug out a lifelike stone statue with a wolf head and body under the ground." Leader Yan was a little envious and said: "
From then on, the surrounding vegetation of the small tribe grew very well, produced a lot of fruits, and fed a lot of people... Later, somehow, the Lord of Jieshi City visited the tribe in person and used 10,000 cattle and sheep to feed the tribe.
The stone statues were replaced and placed in Jieshi City."
"What happened next?" Zhuang Ming asked again.
"Later on, everyone who came to Jieshi City would worship the statue." Leader Yan said: "Jieshi City is currently one of the three most powerful tribes in the Star Observation Area, and in the entire Star Observation Area, all those who belong to the forces of Jieshi City
All the tribes within the area have to make offerings to Jieshi City... We also want it, but our tribe has fewer people, so we don’t make much offerings. We only have to hand over more animal skins when we go there to exchange for food."
"What's the point of worshiping a statue of a god?" Zhuang Ming asked again.
"There's nothing special about it." Leader Yan said: "Every tribe sends people to worship once every ten days, but every six months, a man and a woman from the tribe must be sacrificed to ensure a good harvest for the tribe."
"A man and a woman?" Zhuang Ming asked: "How to offer this man and a woman?"
"Burn on fire." Chief Yan whispered: "After the person is burned to death, the ashes are placed in the stove. When everyone offers incense, they put the incense in the ashes."
"Where is your tribe?" Zhuang Ming asked again.
"The last time it was our tribe's turn was more than ten years ago." Leader Yan sighed and said, "At that time, I also sent a man and a woman over, in exchange for the stability of the tribe."
"..."
Zhuang Ming didn't say anything more, but he had already made up his mind.
This is an evil god!
——
Jieshi City.
This city lord who was promoted to the level of Zhenxuan two hundred years ago has now reached the seventh level of Zhenxuan, which is the level of the desperate Zhenxuan.
Such rapid progress is rare in the thirty-six realms of the spiritual world.
"Master."
The city lord saluted and said: "Today, it is Yun Qianbu's turn to worship. Their man and woman have been delivered. In three hours, the grand party will begin."
In front of him was a stone statue with the head of a wolf and the body of a wolf, about ten feet tall, and lifelike.
At this moment, the stone statue's eyes flashed with light.
"Two hundred years later, Jieshi City only occupies less than 40% of the territory in the Star Observation Area."
The statue's voice was low, and he said: "I taught you the secret method, which allowed you to advance to the Zhenxuan. In two hundred years, you have reached the ultimate Zhenxuan level, but you still can't control the entire Star Observation Domain..."
The Lord of Jieshi City hurriedly said in a low voice: "Over the years, Jieshi City has grown stronger and stronger. Originally, the three families were equally divided. Now that Jieshi City is at its peak, the other two families have joined forces to compete. However, master, there is no need to worry, the disciple has already
Prepare well. Within three years, the Black Village will be wiped out. Within ten years, all the tribes in the Star Observation Area will be brought under Jieshi City and they will all come to worship the Master."
The statue's eyes narrowed and he said again: "Over there in the Falling Spirit Realm, have you checked it out?"
The Lord of Jieshi City said: "I have ordered people to investigate, but found nothing. It was just a dead land, and it is still a dead land. How can there be any movement?"
The statue said: "There seemed to be some movement when I fell into the spirit realm before. I was probably too cautious. Anyway, the dead land will not affect this place."
——
Jieshi outside the city.
Zhuang Ming saw a city built of stones from a distance.
This city is full of primitive desolation.
Two hundred years ago, these tribes in the Star Observation Area did not know what the "city" represented.
To them, the so-called Jieshi City is just another name for the Jieshi tribe.
So... this largest tribe was just a tribe in the beginning. When did it start to have the idea of a "city"?
"According to Chief Yan, tribes in the Star Observation Area are always between expansion and extinction... Strong tribes will conquer weak tribes, plunder their food, plunder their women, plunder their children, and kill
Their young and strong and their sick and old.”
"But this tribe is so powerful that it does not kill people. Instead, it makes all the tribes surrender on the surface, allowing them to come here to trade and collect their fees."
"From primitive and barbaric ways, we began to transform towards civilization."
"Is this change due to the fact that the Lord of Jiashi City has thoughts beyond this era? Or has he seen a more exciting world? Or... what kind of existence is behind him?"
Zhuang Ming thought like this.
If there is someone behind the Lord of Jieshi City who promoted the establishment of Jieshi City, then it is most likely the statue that was worshiped.
But according to Chief Yan, this statue was excavated in another small tribe after the establishment of Jieshi City. It was obtained by the later owner of Jieshi City through exchange, not by force.
"It was originally in Jieshi City, but it was deliberately placed in the outside tribes, and then it was welcomed back in a louder way."
