Entering the incarnation of the oak tree again, it is already 10 noon in the Bana rainforest.
Because the sun was too harsh, Ji Yu didn't see many savages under the tree.
"Isn't it rare for these savages to see a 'miracle' and not fanatically hold any bigger activities? This is also a rare rationality."
"But that's good too, it won't disturb my quiet cultivation of immortality."
Ji Yu teased and laughed alone, and then entered the meditation state again on his own.
There was nothing to say.
When I woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
The twilight light is fading on the edge of the sky.
Under the oak tree, a crowd gathered.
Big and small bonfires were lit, and several big black pigs raised by the wildling tribe were being pulled over.
The howling of the wild boar mixed with the festive atmosphere on the faces of the wild people in the tribe jointly created a very unusual and exotic scene.
The women are sharpening their knives and preparing various ingredients, while the men are setting up the celebration scene.
On both sides of the stone approach, the branches of a large number of oak trees that guard the "Holy Tree" are all tied with colorful strips of cloth.
At the same time, unlike in the early morning, Ji Yu also found that the number of this savage tribe suddenly increased.
The moment Ji Yu woke up, his vision focused on the many savages with guns behind their backs appearing at the outermost edge of the approach.
No, it's not right to say that they were savages, because these savages are very different from the native tribesmen.
They wore chemical fiber clothes and trousers that would only be used in a civilized society, and some even wore a peaked cap.
And these aborigines in the tribe all wear loincloths like animal skins. As for decent clothes and pants?
It simply doesn't exist.
However, it is under such a stark contrast.
In this tribe, the confrontation between civilization and barbarism is obviously won by the barbarian side.
The reason is very simple, because Ji Yu even saw an aborigine wearing a loincloth teaching a few 'outsiders' with guns on their backs, and these outsiders kept their heads down and did not dare to answer even a word.
At the same time, since these outsiders can only stay at the outermost edge of the approach, it can explain the status issue.
"Interesting?"
While watching curiously, Ji Yu also noticed the only strong young man in full clothes beside the elders of the tribe.
The tribal elders were all smiles, while the strong young man was supporting the tribal elders and talking intimately as if they were parents.
Could this be the son of the 'Chief'? Or maybe a grandson?
Is this primitive tribe a kind of sacred place?
In order to maintain the purity of traditional culture and inheritance, so the original life is maintained here?
Ji Yu was thoughtful, and at the same time began to speculate on the relationship between the tribe and the so-called outsiders.
During this observation process, Ji Yu felt helpless because of the language barrier.
"At least a few sentences in the language I can understand."
For example, the global lingua franca of 'Saiyo', although Ji Yu can't understand all of it, it's no problem to understand 30 to 40%.
"It's boring if you don't understand anything."
Feeling bored, Ji Yu no longer paid attention to the chatter between the chief and his blood relatives.
He counted the number of outsiders this time.
"One hundred and thirty-seven people?"
Not many, but not many, and it's hard to say whether this is all. After all, it should be difficult to support a primitive tribe of nearly 500 people with just this few people, right?
Why do you say foster?
The answer is simple, because compared with the real traditional primitive tribes on the Internet, the people in this tribe are too spiritual, and there is no lack of food or clothing.
Under the primitive hunting system, there is no shortage of food and clothing, which must be an unreasonable situation.
So based on this deduction, it is not difficult for Ji Yu to conclude that a lot of food of this primitive tribe may be obtained through these 'outsiders'.
Although this tribe is trying its best to reject foreign products, Ji Yu can still see some truths in terms of food and seasoning.
"No wonder I always felt that something was wrong with this tribe before!"
"It's clear now."
As a closed primitive tribe, there are too few old people in this tribe.
Except for the chief and a dozen or so other respected elders, most of the people in this tribe are actually young women, strong men, and some healthy young children and young people.
A sick person does not exist? Is this reasonable?
"From this point of view, many people in this tribe should live a normal life and live in another place."
Ji Yu has come to his own conclusion, and at the same time deeply agrees.
After all, these men with guns showed up.
"In this way, the place where I am, the existence of these oak trees, and the existence of the shrine may really have a strong symbolic or inheritance significance for this tribe."
"Otherwise this cannot explain why these people exist here in the most primitive way of life."
—————.
As night fell, the sacrificial activities began.
Under Ji Yu's watchful eyes, the biggest wild boar howled was pushed down to the stone platform under the oak tree by several big men first.
After the long knife stabbed a terrible wound on the wild boar's neck, blood gushed out immediately.
The howling of the wild boar continued, but with the loss of blood, its howling continued to weaken until it completely lost its sound.
The blood flowed along the stone platform, along the depression under the stone platform, and soon merged into a blood pool depression directly under the oak tree.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Ji Yu called it a waste.
"If this is made into a bloody meal, how many meals will it take! It's a waste of money."
"What a bargain for those flies and maggots."
The scene of killing pigs almost overlaps with the scene where Ji Yu watched his family slaughter pigs when he was a child, which made him nostalgic for a while.
Although he was slightly uncomfortable physically, childhood memories quickly made him feel that way.
Wild boars were being chased up to the sacrificial altar continuously, and the blood was constantly pooling.
The not too big blood pool under the tree was almost overflowing.
However, after the ninth wild boar was slaughtered, the blood sacrifice finally came to an end.
Then, as a matter of course, there was another long chants of the tribal elders wearing feather crowns.
Then, with the prostration of all the aborigines and outsiders, the prelude to the sacrifice was completed.
But just after all of them stood up, the tribal elders on the high platform suddenly approached the foot of Ji Yu's 'sacred tree'.
Then I saw the tribal elder suddenly take the scimitar handed over by the old man beside him.
Grabbing a touch of green, the elder quickly cut off the green with a machete.
At this time, Ji Yu looked a little puzzled.
"This? It doesn't seem to be a branch on my body, does it?"
Ji Yu can see clearly what the green plants cut off by the elders of the tribe are.
It was a cluster of things like saplings.
This thing does not grow from the ground and coil around the oak tree, but directly emerges from the oak tree and grows like a small shrub.
And if you look carefully, Ji Yu can find that there are many such plants on his oak tree.
They are small and live in clusters on oak trees.
"???"
"When did these things come out?"
Ji Yu clearly remembered that his branches were all bare yesterday, um, except for his own branches and leaves.
In this way, Ji Yu seemed a little puzzled and worried.
Ji Yu intends to "offline" after a while and go to the Internet to check, and then he looks at the actions of the elders of the tribe below.
