Chapter 68 Hunting Ritual

The hunting god Mara, chaotic evil, weak divine power, also known as the king of beasts and the black-blooded beast;

This guy has a red baboon head and feathery blue-black chimpanzee limbs. His duties mainly consist of blood lust, evil beastmen, ferocious beasts and monsters, tracking, and a little killing.

Simply put, this is a very weak but extremely restless god;

Mara is a member of the "Raging Gods", serving Talos, the god of storms and destruction, together with the frost maiden Auril and the sea goddess Umberle.

But in recent years, as Talos has been stealing Auril's power, the [Raging Gods] have gradually become estranged;

Especially after the "idol" sea goddess Amberlee, who was seeking transformation, publicly fell out with Talos, the "Furious Gods" existed in name only.

These are what Steve learned while chatting with old Pete.

Thinking of this, Steve glanced at the red light on his head and laughed at himself helplessly.

"That's great! I've really become famous!"

He actually knew in his heart that this thing was the so-called hunting mark. On the surface, it was just a ball of red light, but in the eyes of the believers of the hunting god Mara, it was as bright and prominent as a firefly in the dark night.

The duration of this thing is approximately one to three days. Since it does no damage, it is not considered as damage and avoided by [Void Shadow].

Steve sighed and decided not to rest. He simply relieved himself next to the attacker's body, then walked north with his spear.

After walking for half the night, the sun gradually rose in the sky. The golden sunlight pierced through the dark forest, making the dew on the leaves crystal clear.

Steve looked at the gradually brightening forest and breathed a sigh of relief.

He has neither the [Dark Vision] nor the [Blind Combat] feat, so fighting in the dark is extremely disadvantageous to him;

For Mara's followers, dark vision is almost standard.

Thinking of this, Steve felt that his strength needed to be strengthened. Although the legendary strongman could be killed with just a few moves, his weaknesses would be obvious once he was defeated.

We can't afford to fight a war of attrition for too long!

Once you encounter an opponent with extremely high agility, you may be exhausted to death by the opponent.

When on the Zerg battlefield, [Alex] can provide physical recovery. The omnipresent Zerg are equivalent to his physical potion. In addition, with the presence of teammates, his pressure is actually quite small.

But now it’s different. There are not so many Zergs to provide him with physical strength, and there are no teammates worthy of relying on their backs to help him support.

Thinking of this, Steve decided not to use [Void Shadow] unless it was absolutely necessary to reduce his dependence.

Old Pete said it well! A true gambling addict would never reveal his cards right at the start of the game!

Just as Steve was quickly passing through the Lurking Forest, in the west of the Lurking Forest, in a small wooden house built with branches and stones, a shirtless man was furious.

The man had long, slightly curly hair that was spotted with weeds, and a reddish-brown beard stained with grease that covered his throat;

The man was wearing a shiny saber-toothed tiger fur cape, a wild necklace with various teeth hanging on his chest, an animal skin apron around his lower body, and oil paint on his exposed strong arms.

In front of the man, the body of the werewolf that had attacked Steve before lay quietly on the ground.

"What's going on! Someone come and explain it to me!" The man spitted angrily.

Hearing this, an orc with a cowardly expression on his face stood up from among the crowd gathered at the door of the hut.

“Blood… Bloodbite, Your Excellency the High Priest… Bilbo went out last night to perform a hunting ritual;

He didn't come back until this morning, so we went to look for him and found his body five miles south of the center of the forest."

"Asshole!" The man named Bloodbite High Priest kicked the orc and asked harshly:

"What about his prey?"

"The exact location is not clear. According to our intuition, it should be moving towards Silver Moon City."

The orc fell to the ground, showing his belly and trying to please like a puppy.

Seeing this, the man with naked upper body stopped looking at the orc and just closed his eyes and sensed.

As a priest of Mara, Mara's brutality has long been integrated into his blood. At the same time, his perception range and accuracy of hunting marks are beyond the reach of other ordinary believers.

After a long while, Xue Yao opened his bloodshot eyes and angrily shouted through gritted teeth:

"Prepare your weapons! Let's complete this hunt!"

After saying that, Xueyao kicked the gnoll's body and said through gnashing teeth:

"You idiot! You're keeping a constant speed, but you can't even make your prey panic! You're such a idiot!"

On the other side, the Mara believers surrounding the hut scattered like birds and beasts, returned to their own "doghouses" to prepare weapons, and excitedly waited for the call of the Blood Bite Priest.

The hunting ritual was one of the most exciting of all Mara’s rituals for these lunatics;

They went out en masse, running wildly and wantonly through the jungle, slaughtering everything that moved that they could see, until they tracked down the trail of their prey;

After finding the trace of their prey, they will engage in a contest called 'bloody fierceness';

Each hunter began to fight on his own, following the trail and quickly chasing the prey;

The first hunter to catch the prey has the right of first kill. If he succeeds in killing the prey, he will have the right to make a hunting sacrifice at the place where the prey is killed.

If he fails to kill the prey brutally, then the second hunter who tracks the prey will take over and kill both the first hunter and the prey;

If he doesn't work, then the same process will apply.

Once someone successfully kills the prey and the hunter fails, the successful hunter will hold up the body of the trophy madly and cruelly, and smear the blood of the trophy all over what he can see.

Only when the blood of the trophy has been drained will he offer the trophy's head and heart to Mara and receive a reward from the hunting god Mara; and he will share the trophy's flesh and blood with other hunters who come later and eat them raw together.

This was an extremely absurd, horrific, and brutal evil sacrifice. After the sacrifice, the entire scene was like hell on earth, with smelly blood, flies circling around intestines, and white bones covered with teeth marks.

Obviously, Steve has been targeted by this group of complete lunatics.
