Chapter 1141: The prey enters the net (1)
In the conference hall at the top of the reincarnation tree, almost all the heads and figures of the tribe have gathered here. In the center of the hall, the tribe's high priest sat around. Only the high priest Xi sat high on a tree chair grown from the branches and leaves of the reincarnation tree, overlooking everything below.
As anxious as today, so many tribes came to the deliberation hall to discuss things, they only started when major rituals and wars with other reincarnation tree tribes were launched. Today, it obviously has nothing to do with these two reasons, but from the serious expressions on the faces of the many high priests and a few hunter leaders present, it can feel that what we are going to say today is not much worse than those two reasons.
Most of the tribal figures present didn't know what was going on. They were just notified to come here to hold the meeting and were extremely curious about the reason for the meeting. However, the extremely solemn atmosphere in the hall suppressed their curiosity, making them all very serious. There was no small whispering movement, but waited honestly for the meeting to be held.
"Let's start!" When the last hunter leader who was late to the meeting hall was out because he was out hunting, the door of the hall was automatically closed, and at the same time, he heard the high priest Xi say, "Lin, tell everyone about the matter."
As everyone's eyes moved to the Hunter Leader's seat, a relatively thin body, broken arm, and covered with various animal teeth.
The hunter named Lin stood up and saluted the High Priest Xi, then looked at everyone with a serious look that had never been seen before, shaking the vast amount of scars and broken flesh behind his head, saying, "Our children are becoming prey, but we cannot help."
As soon as this was said, except for a few insiders who did not take any action, everyone was stunned. As the noise rang out in the hall, everyone questioned the words of the hunter leader.
"Silent!" When the sound in the hall reached a high point, the four high priests who were specifically responsible for maintaining order in the meeting stood up at the same time, picked up the reincarnation branch cane in their hands and paused hard. The sound of the wood that was supposed to be dull was as loud and grand as the sound of a copper bell, instantly suppressing all the noise in the hall.
"Lin, continue talking." High Priest Xi gave instructions to the hunter at this time, and then warned everyone: "Don't interrupt until he finishes his words. After hearing the situation, we will discuss ways to deal with it."
The leader of the hunter bowed to the High Priest Xi and continued, "What I said just now is true, without any exaggeration. You should still remember that the current people in our patrol team broke into the outer maze of the big nest? At that time, everyone did not take it seriously, and we were the same, so we did the practice of treating the intruders as trainee hunters and started a hunting ceremony in advance. What we didn't expect was that the intruders not only possessed some very powerful weapons, but many of them were Yuanli owners, and these Yuanli were very strange and powerful. The children we sent out were seriously injured in the process of encountering them, and only twenty-eight of the seventy-seven trainee hunters were still alive."
As soon as this statement was spoken, even if the High Priest Xi had warned before, it could not suppress the emotions of the crowd. Many people showed incredible expressions, and some descendants of others also participated in the hunting ceremony. They all stood up and anxiously asked about their descendants' situation.
Faced with the questioning, the faces of many hunter leaders became extremely ugly and did not know how to answer. Among these intern hunters, not only were descendants of the top figures within the tribe, but also their own descendants. Their anxiety was not much higher than those of these questioners, especially the hunter leaders and high priests who were responsible for this ceremony.
The hunting ceremony for the trainee hunters was led and planned by these senior leaders of the Reincarnation tribe, but the result was completely beyond their expectations. They did not expect that those people would be so strong. Several of them could even be compared with those of them. Those trainee hunters who had not participated in formal hunting and had just learned some hunting skills had no power to fight back.
"Silent!" The four high priests who maintained order paused the scepter in their hands, suppressing the questioning and discussion of the crowd.
High Priest Xi felt that the situation was out of control, frowned slightly, and tried to use a gentle and majestic tone, saying, "Now that everything else is over, we should discuss how to solve the current situation and how to rescue the remaining trainee hunters."
As soon as he finished speaking, a high priest who had been dead until his descendants died stood up and directly suggested: "What else can I do? Of course, I will send someone to rescue them, and then let the real hunter capture the cheap things and execute them with the most harsh means."
His proposal immediately aroused the approval of most people of the tribe, and some even pulled out the bone knife they wore around their waists, hoping to tear the prey that killed their children into pieces immediately.
The casualties of the trainee hunters this time were too severe, which was something that had never happened before. Although there were many tribe members in this tribe, there were not many tribe members among the descendants who could become formal hunters. Nearly half of the casualties of the forty-nine trainee hunters. It can be foreseen that in the inheritance of the next generation of trainee hunters, their tribe will definitely be the bottom of many tribes of the Reincarnation tribes. This will last for a long time, and will even affect the amount of the hunting quota for the inner ring sky. This is also the reason why many people are so excited.
"Everyone, this time is not an ordinary hunting ceremony, it is a ring hunting ceremony." A calm voice that was completely opposite to the surrounding atmosphere instantly suppressed all the noise and clearly reached everyone's ears.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They looked at the person who was watching Yan at the same time. This person was the high priest Luo, whose mentality was completely directed by Xu Changqing in another direction.
Although everyone here has similar expressions, their mentality is slightly different. Most of the high priests are surprised by the strength of the high priest Luo. Whether the high priest Luo suppresses the voices of everyone with words or directly transmits his own voice to everyone's ears, it proves that his strength and control of his own power have reached an amazing level.
In addition to being surprised that the high priest Luo's strength increased sharply, most of the people present were also surprised and shocked by the fact that the hunter leaders actually opened the ring hunting ceremony of the trainee hunter.
The ring hunting ceremony is one of many hunting rituals, and it is also the only hunting ceremony that the trainee hunter can participate in. The method is to measure the number of neck rings worn according to the value, quantity and other factors of hunting prey. Generally, one prey has a neck ring, and the maximum number of neck rings worn is ten. This neck ring is woven with branches of the reincarnation tree. Its function is to confine the reincarnation power in the body. Generally, ten neck rings can almost completely block all the reincarnation power worn, and even the existence of the high priest Xi is not good.
It is precisely because of the importance of the ring hunting ceremony and the test of the participants that this ceremony is the same as the regular hunting ceremony. No one is allowed to step into the venue of the ceremony before the hunting characters are completed. Even if all the people participating in the ceremony are dead, no one can get close to it.
It is precisely because this ring hunting ceremony is very cruel, and there is no way to provide any assistance. There are even trainee hunters who are very strong, but they accidentally hunted ten preys and had ten neck rings on their necks. Their strength was limited by 80%. They were alive in front of all tribes and were bitten to death by the last prey that could be solved earlier. Therefore, few tribes will start this ceremony. Most tribes use roots as a safe ritual and fewer casualties to promote trainee hunters of their own tribes to formal hunters.
"Who gave you the power to start the ring hunting ceremony?" Someone immediately asked loudly, and many people followed suit.
Almost all the people being questioned were high priest Xi’s confidants. Naturally, he would not let all the pressure fall on his subordinates, and immediately shifted the topic to another direction and said, “Enough! Now is not the time to hold those little guys accountable. How to rescue those little guys is the main purpose of this meeting.”
After the High Priest Xi set a tone for the meeting, even though everyone present was indignant, they were not very happy to hold those who started the ring hunting ceremony accountable and began to consider countermeasures to rescue the trainee hunters.
However, what everyone could not imagine was that there was no sound in the hall at this time, and everyone seemed to be stumped by this problem. In fact, many people present had thought of a solution. It was impossible to directly send people in according to the ritual rules. If that was done, it would be to destroy the ritual and would be backfired by the reincarnation tree. In that case, it would not be that some trainee hunters would be harmed, but that the entire reincarnation tribe would be harmed.
Since you cannot send people directly to rescue, you can only modify the ritual rules as soon as possible. As long as the rules change, sending people in, it is not a problem to send in. However, the rules of such major rituals are engraved in the heart of the reincarnation tree. If you want to change it, a series of very troublesome procedures will be required. The consumption of items is secondarily. What is important is that the heart of the reincarnation tree and the high priest Xi will be irreversible. For a long time, the high priest Xi will no longer appear in the internal tribe until the heart of the reincarnation tree is fully recovered.
"I have a way." Just when everyone felt helpless, the high priest Luo suddenly said.
Chapter completed!
