Extraordinary Sailing

Night fell slowly.

Although the dance ceremony lasted throughout the day, instead of feeling tired, the natives of the Araucan clan became more energetic!

With the totem pole as the center, they form a large semicircle by the sea.

And only the young and strong men of each family are eligible to stay in the circle, which is the special seat for soldiers.

As the moon rises, the most important moment in the sacrificial ceremony has arrived.

Ahhh-!

Ahhh-!

During the sacrificial ceremony attended by all members of the tribe, no matter men, women, young or old, they are like animals that live in groups, uttering primitive and wild cries from their mouths.

The voice continued for a long time, and we greeted the most honorable and powerful member of the group together.

rustle

Stepping on the fine sand by the sea with bare feet.

Chief Mangunk wears a pair of fur shorts and a white robe of traditional fabric.

Accompanied by two shamans, one old and one young, wearing blue parrot feather crowns and colorful sacrificial robes, they walked through the gathered crowd all the way to the majestic totem pole.

When the burly chief raised his hands high as a signal, the shouts below stopped abruptly.

"People, I am your chief Mangunke.

I promise you: In the future, we will have endless food, endless wine, and endless clothes. Our children will grow up peacefully and will not be able to bully us anymore.

Please remember this moment, this is the starting point of the revitalization of the Araucan clan! "

The chief's uplifting voice was like thunder, clearly reaching the ears of every clan member.

The people of the surrounding Araukan clan were flushed because of his words, and their fiery eyes on the chief seemed to be on fire.

If the support rate can be directly quantified, the value of Mangu Enke shares can already explode!

Everyone has a longing for a better life, especially those who live in the middle and lower reaches of the ecological chain of the New World.

Now, the first Tier 3 totem warrior in the tribe will be ushered in soon, and the opportunity to truly rise is also ushered in. How can they not be excited?

What's more, this was bought with the lives of half of the young men in the tribe!

The clansmen have already started chanting the chief's name in unison.

"Mongunk!"

"Mongunk!"

""

Surrounded by the enthusiasm of the tribesmen at this time, the chief who shouldered the important task of revitalizing the tribe was in high spirits, feeling that he was no different from a real god.

I can't wait to stand in front of them again in the third-order posture in the next moment!

The belief of the Atrians is based on animism and includes three aspects: nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship.

The status of the three in their hearts is progressive.

But totem worship can bring them real power, and it is also the basis for their long-term survival in this perilous continent!

The essence of the totem enshrined by each tribe is the "spirit of nature" that exists widely in mountains, water, grass, and trees in the New World, and is a powerful natural spirit born between heaven and earth.

Although he doesn't even have the personality of a demigod, he has a great power that surpasses all spirits, including evil spirits, through his deep-rooted connection with this land.

They are embodied (manifested as totems) because of their beliefs, and they are constantly becoming stronger because of their beliefs.

Just like the Transcendent, since all things have spirits, there are of course high and low among natural spirits.

As a hunting tribe, the Araucan clan used to be small and not strong, and the totem they enshrined, "Owig the Great Sea Shark", was certainly not a powerful natural spirit.

The main body is a giant great white shark with six eyes. Although it has the dual power of wind and water, it has the power and status in the Atrian gods.

Compared with the "Giant Bear Spirit" Graham and the "Eagle Spirit" Avaanka, which are enshrined by large tribes or even several large tribes, they are far behind.

Compared with those existences that may be second only to demigods, Orvig's essence is actually only third-order.

But for these mortals, the great sea shark Ovig is no different from other powerful natural spirits, they are irresistible existences.

"Chief, it's time for the ceremony to begin."

Glancing at the position of the moon in the sky, the elder shaman reminded Mangunke.

subsequently.

He drew two pairs of eyes side by side from top to bottom on the cheek of Chief Mangunk, which is consistent with the image of the great sea shark Ovig on the totem pole.

Then he put a blue feather crown that went up vertically on his head, which looked like a shark's dorsal fin from a distance.

Teng——

Then the two shamans added jasmine essential oil, coca leaves, tobacco and special witchcraft to the bonfire, which could help them open a channel of communication with the great sea shark Ovig.

Then those bloody scalps were thrown into the fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

While the smoke was rising, the two shamans hugged the tambourine "Teponaster" made by burning empty tree trunks around their waists, and kept beating the python skin drum surface with both hands.

There is a primitive and flamboyant sacrificial dance at the feet, and there are copper bells ringing constantly at the waist.

They chanted the hymn to the great sea shark Owig loudly, and the ethereal and high-spirited singing spread far away.

Echoing constantly between the sky and the sea, there is no other noise except the crackling of the campfire.

Surrounded by them, a water-colored brilliance rose quietly on the totem pole that looked very simple and had been passed down by them for many years.

Ovig the Great Shark answers their call!

Afterwards, in the green smoke from the fire, there seemed to be countless human faces, which were absorbed by the totem pole along with the sea breeze.

The whole ritual is both sacred and evil.

next moment.

As if connected to an electric current, Mangu Enke's body shook slightly, and he felt that his spirit had entered a vast and boundless world, and was connected with a powerful and aggressive existence.

It was a gigantic monster-like shark with six blood-colored eyes floating constantly in the void, with a body length of more than 100 meters.

On the body of this natural spirit, a blue and blood-colored aura stretched like an umbilical cord, connecting one person and one shark.

"Ah! Praise to you, Ovig!"

Feeling the majestic power, Mangu Enke showed ecstasy and kept praising the totem god.

And on his external body, the originally abstract totem imprints began to become more and more lifelike at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It even seemed to break through the boundary between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, slowly swimming on his skin.

All the onlookers, especially the soldiers standing in the special seats, saw such a miraculous scene, all of them showed enthusiasm, and they couldn't take their eyes off any details.

It is the great chieftain who became the third rank of extraordinary today, so what about tomorrow?

No one does not hope that the next lucky person is himself!

However.

However, they didn't realize that all the pre-arranged guard posts around the temporary camp were silent.

And a group of heavily armed kingdom soldiers, under the command of the grassroots officers, had quietly surrounded them.

As a safari tribe, the Araucan clan has no fixed residence, but the chosen place of sacrifice is not too far from the last town of Ilia.

In particular, there is a large bay surrounded by land on three sides, which provides them with excellent sacrificial conditions.

The original intention is to allow the soldiers to come back as soon as possible after completing the pre-requirements, but it also provides convenience for Aiwen and the others.

Although they were a step behind the group of natives and failed to stop them halfway, they were finally able to arrive in time before the end of the ceremony.

However, when there are still ten kilometers away from here.

In fact, Wilder's squirrel could only scream and scream in terror, and no longer dared to point the way forward. Only Fleck in the bearskin state could restrain the animal's fear of the superior existence.

But by this time, their scent tracking was no longer needed.

With the detection network, Aiwen has already seen the preparations for the ceremony of the natives in the whole process.

In this world, no matter what the purpose of the ceremony is, to the enemy, it is similar to a factory that manufactures weapons of mass destruction, and they are all targets for the first strike.

All the way, they kept urging the soldiers to speed up their march.

And now.

When Aiwen saw the changes in the form of those totem engravings on Mangu Enke standing under the totem pole.

Having studied the profession of totem warrior, he has instantly realized the function of this ceremony.

Although the rituals corresponding to different natural spirits are completely different, the changes corresponding to the totem warriors are the same.

First change from abstract to concrete, and then simplify again. When it finally becomes only a few symbolic symbols, it also means that the promotion ceremony is completely completed.

So time was running out, and Aiwen's face changed, and he ordered decisively without letting the soldiers take a breath:

"Gary and I were in charge of the frontal raid, Milan and Roddy were in charge, and Wilder and Mike were in charge of finding sniper spots to kill important people.

Fleck, together with the main force, focus on cleaning up the enemy fighters. "

"clear!"

Alvin waved his hand heavily.

"action!"

A flock of seagulls had already swooped down first.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Several glass test tubes shattered in the upwind position, and fine spores were scattered with the wind.

【Laughing Spores】

subsequently.

Ah chirp——

Someone in the surrounding crowd suddenly sneezed.

It provoked reproachful glances from the people around him, how could he act so rudely on such a solemn occasion, what if he made the Totem God angry?

However, the next moment.

"hehehe"

There was extremely suppressed low laughter from the crowd.

In an instant, it attracted the attention of the elder shaman on the altar. He turned his head to see who was so unruly, and he must be taught a lesson after the ceremony.

It's just that he just lost his mind.

"Ahahahaha"

The maniacal laughter that could no longer be suppressed had already come out, and this time it was no longer a person, but piece by piece.

"Ahahahaha"

"Ahahahaha"

However, in just ten seconds, all the clansmen who participated in the ceremony were already laughing up and down.

Before the elder shaman realized what had happened.

boom! boom! boom!

In the darkness behind them, countless gun flames were shining, and the deadly lead bullets had already exploded bloody flowers in the special seats where young and strong soldiers were qualified to stand.

at the same time.

clang! clang!

The two lead bullets had stopped in front of them, blocked by the water-colored light barrier released by the totem pole, which also saved the lives of the two shamans.

The edges of the two lead bullets in the air have peculiar lines, which are the traces left when they passed through the rifled barrel at high speed.

In the era of front-loading guns, loading ammunition to a rifled gun was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

There is almost no chance of firing a second shot on a fiercely fought battlefield, and it is only suitable for specific occasions or special operations on this continent.

This is also the reason why the current mainstream army has always used smoothbore guns.

The golden age of rifled guns will only come when breech-loading synchronicity develops.

Although the two sharpshooters missed the first shot at the same time.

However, murderous slogans sounded in the darkness.

"Invincible!"

"Kill—!"

Amidst the thunderous shouts of killing, the colorful "sharks" like the tides had frantically rushed towards the Araucan clan who also enshrined the "sharks".
