A big stick sweeps across the wilderness

Lilu tribe.

Located in the upper reaches of Luoshui River.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side.

The population reaches 20,000.

The thick smoke from fireworks condensed into a layer of milky white mist in the sky.

Looking around, there are huts of various sizes scattered in an orderly manner.

Naked children chased and played in front of and behind the house.

"So...so many people!"

Jiang Yu was a little at a loss.

The population of Li Village already made him feel pressured.

I didn't expect it to be more exaggerated here.

Fang Yuan finally returned to the territory of the human race and breathed a sigh of relief: "Put on your shoes. I will take you to see the leader."

"Oh."

Jiang Yu didn't change his expression when facing Lone Wolf, but he was actually a little nervous at this time.

While putting on his shoes, he asked: "How can we feed so many people?"

Fang Yuan was obviously not the first time he visited the Lilu tribe, and he smiled and said: "Hunting, fishing, and fruit picking. There are also tributes sent by the village. The tribe also grows millet and millet themselves."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly.

Life here is relatively affluent. Dried fish and wild fruits are dried in front of many huts.

Fang Yuan waved to him: "Follow me!"

Jiang Yu quickly followed.

His nervous look was very similar to when Fang Yuan met Lone Wolf.

Especially when a group of fighting children ran over, Jiang Yu even dodged seven or eight meters away.

My hair exploded.

His and Fang Yuan's states were completely reversed from those in the jungle.

Fang Yuan was amused by his appearance: "What are you afraid of? They don't eat people."

But Jiang Yu couldn't listen at all.

I felt like I was being watched by pairs of eyes, and even breathing became difficult.

Fortunately, the journey is not far.

The two soon came to a tall hut.

Fang Yuan stood outside the door and called out respectfully: "Chief, I am Fang Yuan, the third son of the leader of the Li Village clan. I have come to participate in the selection of the clan hunter."

Hearty laughter sounded in the hut: "Fang Yuan? Come in. It seems that you have passed the adult test."

The Lilu tribe has seven villages under its jurisdiction.

As a leader, he naturally understands the kinship relationship of each clan leader.

Fang Yuan winked at Jiang Yu and got into the house first.

An old man with a kind smile sat cross-legged in the room.

After seeing Fang Yuan, he smiled and waved to him: "We haven't seen him for only two years, and he has grown so big. He must be a good hunter."

There was a hint of coquettishness in Fang Yuan's tone: "Chief, you haven't changed at all."

"I'm old!"

The leader smiled broadly. It was like meeting his own grandson.

Fang Yuan looked cute. He took out the wild boar skull from the wooden basket and said, "My father asked me to bring this to you. It's perfect for decorating the house."

The leader was surprised: "Such a big wild boar! It took a lot of manpower, right?"

Fang Yuan laughed twice: "It's not bad."

He didn't want to continue this topic, so he pulled Jiang Yu in front of him: "This is my brother. He is also here to participate in the clan hunt."

The leader looked at Jiang Yu doubtfully: "I know your eldest brother, and your second brother is already hunting in the clan. When will there be another brother?"

Fang Yuan explained: "His name is Jiang Yu. He is the brother I met during the adult trial."

The leader's knowledge is far beyond that of the young master Fang Yuan.

Hearing this, he cast a scrutinizing gaze: "The Jiang family among the eight major families? He should live by the Jiang River thousands of miles away. Why did he come to such a remote place?"

Fang Yuan had never heard of the eight major families. For fear of causing misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "He came from Gui Yulin. He has nothing to do with the eight major families."

It's okay if he doesn't explain. But after such an explanation, the leader's pupils shrank suddenly: "Gui Yulin? Are you from Gui Yulin?"

Jiang Yu didn't feel that nervous anymore when he only faced the leader. He admitted frankly: "Well, I spent half a year in it before I came out."

The leader didn't believe him at all. But he didn’t show any dissatisfaction: “Have you ever seen a mandrill with a scar on the right side of its face?”

Jiang Yu asked tentatively: "Good at making fruit wine, but like stealing things and deceiving people?"

The leader stood up and walked up to Jiang Yu excitedly: "That's right! An important thing from the tribe was stolen by it. We have sent many people to Ghost Yulin over the years. But no one can come back."

Jiang Yu wanted to say that the mandrill was his cheap fifth uncle.

After hearing what the leader said, he suppressed his words again.

He echoed: "Huh, that mandrill is very cunning and cunning. I was able to walk out of Gui Yulin thanks to its blessing. It's a pity that I am not its opponent. Otherwise, it would definitely make it look good!"

As soon as these words came out, the distance between him and the leader instantly became much closer.

The leader patted Jiang Yu's arm hard: "Good boy, you have courage! You are still young and have great potential."

Jiang Yu only rarely had contact with the human race. It doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the ways of the world.

You would be a fool not to seize this opportunity to express your stance.

His face immediately became solemn: "I hope to join the Lilu tribe. While tempering myself, I will contribute to the vigorous development of the tribe."

"Good good!"

The leader said "yes" three times in a row, and even Fang Yuan's attitude became a little more enthusiastic: "Fang Yuan, you take Jiang..."

Seeing the leader pause, Fang Yuan quickly reminded: "Jiang Yu."

The leader nodded repeatedly: "Yes, take Jiang Yu to see the clan shaman. Such an outstanding young man will definitely be recognized by the totem."

"Thank you boss!"

Jiang Yu was overjoyed. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Fang Yuan thanked the leader and pulled Jiang Yu away quickly.

Not everyone can participate in the awakening ceremony.

Only the direct descendants of the clan leader and promising young people in the tribe have this qualification.

Jiang Yu took advantage of Fang Yu's relationship and went through the back door.

The leader watched the two people leave, his smile gradually disappearing.

He reached out and touched the huge wild boar skull.

His fingertips slowly slid over the yellowed fangs, he squinted his eyes and murmured: "Ghost Yulin...Jiang's..."

the other side.

Fang Yuan explained to Jiang Yu the rules of the tribe as he walked: "The clan shaman usually presides over ceremonies and calculates good and bad luck. He can communicate with the gods. His status is no worse than that of the leader. Don't be rude when you see her."

When he said this, Jiang Yu was also a little nervous: "What should I pay attention to?"

"Just follow me." Fang Yuan took care of everything, looking like someone who had come before him.

"Oh," Jiang Yu asked curiously, "What is the content of the ceremony? Tell me about it so I can be prepared."

Fang Yuan laughed loudly: "There is nothing to prepare. Just stand still and don't move around. I just don't know how many holes you can escape."

"Changing the orifice?"

Jiang Yu heard another new word.

Fang Yuan slapped his forehead: "I forgot to tell you. A person's acupoints are the way to communicate with heaven and earth. The more acupoints that are opened, the greater the power of witchcraft. The first time you open the acupoints is the most critical. It will directly affect your life. achievements.”

Jiang Yu had no idea about these things: "How many orifices have you experienced?"

Fang Yuan became proud: "I opened three orifices for the first time. Now I have opened the fifth orifice."

As he said this, he performed hand gestures.

A small flame emerged from the tip of his index finger.

Jiang Yu's eyes shone: "That's amazing! Once the five orifices are opened, you don't have to worry about making fire?"

Elder Fang blushed.

It felt like Jiang Yu was teasing him with irony. Putting away the flames: "This is just the most basic application method. When I join the clan hunter, I can learn more advanced witchcraft."

Jiang Yu's expectations are quite simple: "Fistes are enough for prey. What worries me the most is making fire."

Fang Yuan felt his chest was congested.

I was speechless for a moment.

"Your goals are really ambitious..."
