At this time, there is still a long time before the great sacrifice, Ye Xi intends to select a group of outstanding reserve fighters from the Jushan tribe first, and then spend a few witch stones to help them awaken first.

The reserve trial process prepared for them is very simple. First test strength, speed and other aspects. Those who pass the test will enter the jungle and hunt a designated prey, and then they will pass.

Of course, the jungle was cleared in advance, all poisonous insects and snakes were cleaned up, and only relatively weak beasts were left in the forest for them to hunt.

After properly arranging these things, Ye Xi was able to relax.

On the top of the giant mountain.

The air here is thin, the mountain wind is fierce and cold, and the sun is pouring down scorchingly because there are no clouds to cover it, making people's skin scalding hot.

The topography of this mountain is very special. It is not solid, but ring-shaped like a crater, with a hollow in the middle, and the rock wall is only 20 centimeters thick. Ordinary people may fall from the top of the mountain if they are not careful because of the violent wind and dizziness.

Ye Xi and Huo Gang stood firm as a rock, showing no fear at all.

"quack!"

"噍噍噍!!"

Falcon birds with shiny feathers flew from afar.

Huo Ge pricked up his ears, carefully distinguishing the sharp or hoarse calls of these falcon birds, and then observing their movements, and finally judged whether they brought new information.

Ye Xi took a basket of beast meat mince and sprinkled it for them to eat.

He spread it evenly, and the minced meat scattered in the air like raindrops.

The falcons shuttled back and forth around Ye Xi, their sharp eagle eyes staring at the meat, and accurately grabbed the nearby meat and swallowed it into their throats. Many falcons were intertwined, and there seemed to be a black whirlwind blowing around the mountaintop.

Soon a basket of meat foam bottomed out.

The falcons dispersed contentedly.

Although the amount of ferocious beast meat that Ye Xi sprinkled was small, it was all feral beast meat. For these ordinary falcons, the energy was very high, and a small amount was enough to excite them.

Ye Xi held an empty basket against the strong wind, and looked into the distance against the scorching sun.

The scenery at the top of the mountain is unique.

The white sea of ​​clouds is constantly churning and transpiring under your feet.

There are many large pterosaurs with long tails and ferocious bone spurs soaring in the sea of ​​clouds, and many strange blue-purple insects that look like damselflies and butterflies shuttle in the clouds and mist.

These wonderful creatures set against the magnificent and continuous mountains in the distance, and there are two huge and strange suns, together depicting a unique prehistoric beauty.

"Hoo, hoo!"

It was very windy at the top of the mountain.

Ye Xi's black hair was blown upside down.

At this time, if he had long hair hanging down his waist, dressed in ancient costumes, and his long hair fluttered and his clothes fluttered, he would look absolutely immortal, as if he was about to become a fairy. It's a pity that he has a neat short haircut, and is wearing black leather armor that is convenient for fighting.

Suddenly, a golden canary appeared in the sea of ​​clouds.

After the canary appeared, the group of pterosaurs and giant damselflies in the sea of ​​clouds were all frightened and retreated to both sides, and the canary flew to Ye Xi's side like a dazzling little sun.

There was a loud bang.

Before the canary landed, Qiuya jumped off its back.

The rock wall on the top of the mountain was not very solid. With his jump, the rock under Ye Xi's feet shattered, and large and small broken stones rustled and fell down.

Huo's face darkened, and he shouted: "What are you doing?! Be careful!"

Qiu Ya didn't expect that his jump would cause such a big commotion, regretted it, and immediately knelt down on one knee to apologize to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi smiled and said: "It's okay, I won't fall if you jump a few more times, get up."

Qiu Ya was even more ashamed by Ye Xi's words.

Ye Xi saw that Qiu Ya was a little restless, and asked, "Why, what's bothering you?"

Qiu Ya scratched his hair vigorously: "It's nothing, it's just the people from the Jushan tribe... Sigh! I don't understand, why are they so useless?!"

"I've never seen people who are less courageous than them. We, Xicheng, just take a child out, and they are stronger than them!"

Qiu Ya was in charge of presiding over the reserve trial today, following the trialists throughout the process, protecting and supervising them, but was stunned by the performance of these people, so angry that he vomited three liters of blood, and ran back halfway.

Huo Gang choked him: "Why are you so angry that you jumped down in a daze?"

Qiu Ya squatted down impatiently: "Hey! You have never seen them look like bears! A bull with horns rushing over can scare them all to the ground, throwing away the spears in their hands, wow! screaming and running away."

"Looking at them like that, I'm so full of anger, I can't wait to have a meal!"

"Tell me, just like them, how can they be worthy of being Xicheng warriors, how can they be worthy of being our clansmen, how can they be worthy of hunting and fighting with us?!"

He whined angrily.

Huo Gang also frowned when he heard that: "No way? We catch very weak beasts, so we won't be so scared that we throw away our spears, right?"

Qiu Ya rolled his eyes: "Why not, there are still people who kneel down to the beast and beg for mercy!"

"what?!"

The fiery copper bell-like eyes stared, very suspicious of his ears.

Qiu Ya sneered: "Yes, kneeling on the ground, weeping and bowing to a wild boar, begging it not to attack them, you should also go and see it, and gain insight!"

Fire Grate: "..."

He imagined that scene, and finally understood why Qiu Ya was so angry.

Huo Gang swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help asking Ye Xi: "Master Xi Wu, are we really going to bring these people to Xicheng, and make them become Xicheng people and Xicheng warriors?"

To be able to kneel down and beg for mercy to a wild boar is simply amazing!

If you say it, you will be laughed to death!

Ye Xi: "Of course, I have already promised Patriarch Qing that these Jushan clansmen will be our clansmen."

Huo Gian and Qiu Ya looked at each other, and both could see the wry smile in each other's eyes.

They really don't want to have such a tribe! That kind of embarrassment, it's embarrassing to be your own slave!

Ye Xi looked at their little expressions, and laughed: "Okay, don't be unhappy, these people have been living in the closed and fertile mountains, there is no shortage of food, and they are not infested by giant insects and wild animals. They are all accustomed to the comfortable environment. It’s just normal to behave like this.”

"It's the first time for them to see wild boars and bison that are common in your eyes, so it's not surprising that they would be afraid."

Qiu Ya: "You mean, they will become bolder in the future? But I don't think these people want to become stronger at all."

This is the second place where he gets angry. In his cognition, all men are eager to become warriors, eager to raise weapons and fight fierce beasts, eager for blood and strength, but these men of the Jushan tribe were unwilling to participate in the reserve trial. !

Qiu Ya said truthfully: "There are many testers who want to quit the test halfway, I heard them muttering in secret, saying that they would rather pick mushrooms to eat than hunt wild animals so hard to eat meat!"

Huo Gian smiled angrily.

Ye Xi was not in a hurry, and said with gentle eyes: "Don't worry, they will change."

He knew that the environment would force the Jushan people to change, even if they didn't yearn for power or self-motivated. But when the big troops migrated to Xicheng together, they spent a few months on the road, and after suffering from being weak, they must have sharpened their heads and wanted to become stronger.

Qiu Ya: "What if it really can't be changed?"

Ye Xi smiled slightly: "It can't be changed, so let's arrange them to do chores in Xicheng. Our roads, back mountains, and dry toilets all need to be cleaned, the pool needs to be filled with water, and the chrysanthemum willow potted plants need to be moved and dewormed. , Large areas of farmland need to be weeded out...a lot of chores."

"Xicheng will not support idlers."

Qiu Ya was finally relieved now,

"That's right, this will make our people more relaxed!"

He rattled and moved his fingers thoughtfully, pinching his knuckles until there were continuous crackling noises, and after a while he smiled brightly,

"It's a bit extravagant for tens of thousands of people to do chores. I'll continue to torment them! Try to get more qualified fighters out!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted and bid farewell to Ye Xi, then happily jumped on Canary's back and flew down the mountain.
