The meaning of some things is no longer the same as it was at the beginning.
After thousands and tens of thousands of years of evolution, the sacrificial battles of the Silver Fang clan evolved into a ritual to worship their ancestors.
Since it is a ceremony, it is naturally much gentler than in the past. Even if it is related to the issue of the succession of the patriarch, there are rarely fierce battles.
But now, Lotkar and Kaibu were fighting with every punch and every knife, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
The members of the Silver Fang tribe near the square stage were all staring at the scene intently.
In such a fierce battle, if one of them is careless for a moment, they may be defeated immediately.
They were afraid of missing any details that might determine victory or defeat.
But a competition of this intensity also reminded the members of the Silver Fang Clan of the competition that took place seven years ago.
That day, Lotkar and Kaibu also fought with each other with fists and knives.
In the end, although Lotkar achieved an overwhelming victory, he lost consciousness and began to attack indiscriminately.
If Lotkar's wife hadn't stood in front of him, there was no telling how many people Lotkar would have injured before he would give up.
The memories of the past replayed in their minds, and many people were still frightened. They even began to pray silently to their ancestors, hoping that Kaibu could successfully deal with Lothkar and not repeat the same mistakes.
But these prayers cannot change the outcome of the war, they can only provide some consolation.
After several clashes, Lothkar gained the upper hand, and their sharp claws intertwined again. The two giant wolves flew to the edge of the field at the same time, and their sharp claws scratched across the square platform, and the two giant wolves stopped at the same time.
Kaibu was breathing heavily. After becoming the acting patriarch, he did not neglect his exercise. However, in the clash with Lothkar, he was at a disadvantage again as before.
He raised his head and looked towards Lotkar triumphantly. There was no sign of fatigue on Lotkar's face. Even though his mane was stained with blood, he stood majestically on the platform.
"It's like this again. You always act so superior since the beginning."
Kaibu bared his teeth and his bristles stood up.
Whenever he recalled the past, a surge of power surged from the bottom of Kaibu's heart.
Whenever he learned something with great difficulty, Lotkar could always learn the same thing easily.
Whenever he helps others, others always praise Lothkar for teaching him to be a good brother first, and then praise him.
Every time when he had made some progress and had some epiphany, and thought he had finally caught up with Lothcar, he would find himself being left far behind by Lothcar again.
But Lothcar always acted indifferent and brushed everything off with the words "Because I'm older, I'm more capable".
That year, Lotkar easily obtained the right to use the racial essence, but he fell in the first round of the junior competition and spent several years to obtain the right to use the racial essence.
That year, the young boys fell in love with the same girl at the same time, but the girl only fell in love with Lothkar at first sight.
That year, he, who was extremely confused, finally found his life goal and wanted to contribute to the construction of the village. As a result, he learned that the old patriarch had designated Lothkar as the only candidate for patriarch.
Even though he tried his best, Lotkar still easily possessed everything he had never had.
Out of jealousy, malice is born.
Long-standing resentment will eventually explode.
Realizing that there was no way he could catch up with Lothcar, Kaibu became irritable and angry.
Becoming wanting to destroy everything that others have.
When I see someone working hard, I want to give them a little hope, but then completely extinguish it and tell them that their efforts are useless.
He did it.
He has no regrets at all.
But even though he had planned everything and wanted to completely destroy Lotkar's life, Lotkar still stood in front of him.
"Have I always been like that in your eyes?"
There was a hint of sadness in Lotkar's eyes.
"If I had noticed it earlier, things might not have developed to this point."
Kaibu raised his head. "It's just as the old patriarch said. You haven't changed at all since before. You're still as annoying as before."
"No, I have changed a lot." Lotkar slowly got ready, "In the seven years since I left the tribe, I have met different people, learned a lot, and become more stable.
I can understand your feelings too.
I apologize for not understanding you in the past.
Kaibu, this is your last chance.
Recognize the path you are on. Those people are not worthy of your trust. Don’t let your heart become corrupted any further.”
"Shut up! Don't talk to me like you know it all."
The sound resounded throughout the forest. Kaibu glared at Lotkar with murderous eyes. The blood stuck to his fur, as if sensing Kaibu's anger, turned into blood mist and floated around him.
“You don’t understand anything at all.
Apologize? How can that be possible! I didn't do anything wrong.
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Didn't you come here to defeat me
In that case, you don’t have to disregard everything else, abandon your daughter, friends, tribesmen, and everything you have, and attack me.”
As soon as Kaibu finished speaking, Lotkar swung his strong limbs and attacked Kaibu again. Kaibu stood in place, grabbed the platform with all four feet, and used his body to fight back.
"In the end, you still chose to stand on their side and decided to continue to magnify the darkness in your heart. Then, I will repay you in full and double for all the injustices and pains I have endured before."
Facing Lothcar's impact, Kaibu's claws scratched the ground, and the square stage cracked into several deep cracks, but Kaibu was not pushed out of the field.
He finally stopped on the square platform, turned around and bit Lotkar's abdomen.
As the attacker, Lotkar jumped on his hind legs, adjusted his body, avoided Kaibu's bite, came to Kaibu's flank, opened his bloody mouth, and pierced Kaibu's neck with his sharp fangs, and red blood gushed out.
No one expected this to happen.
Everyone present understood that Lotkar was going to kill him. They wanted to step forward to stop him, but then they saw Lotkar loosen his mouth and throw Kaibu out of the field.
Kaibu fell into the stream not far from the square platform. The blood flowing from his body instantly dyed the small stream red, and he also changed from the huge silver wolf posture back to his original orc posture.
Standing on the square platform, Lotkar did not cancel the silver wolf posture, nor did he make any howl to symbolize victory. He just stood on the square platform, looking at Kaibu lying on the shore in a pool of blood, motionless.
