That's what he said, but when they really arrived at the tribe, Zhang Ting refused to come down and held on tightly, which made Ye Tian and Shan Youde stare wide-eyed.
What's going on? How come they become so close after just going out
Could it be that Wutan wanted to forget Chu Yiyan for the first time in his life and was preparing to have a relationship with Zhang Ting
Come to think of it, it seems unlikely.
Wu Tian did not explain because he was too lazy to explain, but when Zhang Ting called him brother intimately, Ye Tian and the others were dumbfounded.
I thought to myself, this guy usually seems to be aloof and unkind, but I didn't expect that he is really good at dealing with women.
At night, the place was bustling with bright lights and bustling voices. Everyone in the tribe was very enthusiastic, serving delicious barbecue and filling everyone's glasses with wine.
It must be said that the flesh and blood of the Fire Monkey King was quite good. After the little guys ate a few pieces, they soon felt hot all over, as if they were being steamed in a steamer, and were sweating profusely.
Finally, five of them opened their bodies and became little cultivators, and all of them were fire spirits. The rest, although they did not open their bodies, their bodies and minds were cleansed and sublimated. If they had bodies, it would only be a matter of time before they opened their bodies.
Basically, everyone got unexpected benefits. The strength of a group of big men increased greatly. Their strength, which was 500 kilograms before, now skyrocketed to 1,000 kilograms.
Tan Tai Guang even directly broke through to the great success stage and became a perfect cultivator, which raised the strength of the Tan Tai tribe to a higher level.
As for Xian Ling, she was about to break through, but was suppressed by Ye Tian, who said that she would break through in one fell swoop during the coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow.
The strength of the Tantai tribe skyrocketed overnight, which made a group of young and old men very happy. They all toasted Wutan and the other three to express their gratitude!
It was not until the first watch that everyone went home drunkenly.
Wu Tian and his three companions found a cliff and practiced in meditation.
The next day, as soon as the sky turned white, the people in the tribe became busy.
A three-meter-tall stone statue was carried to the center of the square. It was a man, the ancestor of the Tantai tribe, Tantai Mingjing. The stone statue was lifelike, with distinct facial features and an extraordinary temperament.
For two thousand years, Tan Tai Ming Jing was a rising star in Shura Palace, the focus of all attention. His status was comparable to the Ten Great Shuras. However, the heaven was unjust and the earth was ruthless, and he was trapped here in the end, and died with regret.
The coming-of-age ceremony of the Tantai tribe is to kowtow to the stone statues and worship the ancestors, hoping to receive the grace of the ancestors and be granted a great fortune. In fact, this is just a formality and will not play any role. It is just to seek psychological comfort.
There is another meaning. After the coming-of-age ceremony, it means that you have grown up and have more responsibilities on your shoulders. It is no longer the tribe that protects you, but you have to protect the safety of the tribe.
In addition, the tribe will no longer be subject to any restrictions and will be allowed to go out and explore.
Therefore, it is not just the Tantai tribe, all the tribes in the First Heaven are like this. Everyone who reaches the age of sixteen must hold a coming-of-age ceremony.
Soon, many tributes were placed in front of the stone statue, among which was a piece of Fire Monkey King's meat weighing several dozen kilograms, overflowing with divine essence.
As the fiery red sun rose, Tan Tai Cong was the leader, followed by Tan Tai Guang and Tan Tai Xian Ling. The rest of the clansmen lined up behind them and kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to the stone statue.
Wu Tian and the other three just watched quietly from the side.
"Ancestor, today is the coming-of-age ceremony for your descendant, Tan Tai Xian Ling. I beg you to bestow divine grace upon Tan Tai Xian Ling, to bless her with a peaceful and happy life, to protect the Tan Tai tribe from being bullied by monsters and outsiders, and to protect everyone from having enough food and clothing..."
Tan Tai Cong muttered to himself with a solemn expression and prayed devoutly.
After a long while, Tan Tai Cong stood up and faced Tan Tai Xian Ling: "Xian Ling, come forward and accept the baptism!"
The blood used for baptism was the Fire Monkey King's blood. Originally, a small level five tribe like the Tantai clan could not possibly use such precious blood to baptize future generations.
All this was thanks to Wu Tian, who gave them the body of the Fire Monkey King unconditionally.
Tan Tai Xian Ling stepped forward and looked at the huge vat of blood in front of her, her brows couldn't help but frown. Girls are born to love beauty and usually avoid the sight of blood. But now, she was asked to soak in it for half an hour, and she felt very reluctant.
"Hurry up and go in!"
The precious blood was extremely crystal clear, like a blood diamond, sparkling with divine rays of light, and surging with vitality. Countless people could not even think of it, but this precious granddaughter seemed to not want to go in, thinking it was dirty? This made Tan Tai Cong smile bitterly.
He said meaningfully: "This blood was specially reserved for you for baptism yesterday. Even the first-level tribe may not have it, so you must not waste it."
"Grandpa, don't rush me! Let Xianling make good preparations."
Taking a deep breath, Tan Tai Xian Ling pinched her nose, wrinkled her smooth forehead tightly, and moved forward timidly, as if she was going to the battlefield. She looked so funny that everyone couldn't help laughing.
"It's so hot, I can't stand it!"
Not long after she entered, she screamed and leaped, as if trying to escape. Tan Tai Cong's face turned black, and his aura burst out of his body, transforming into an invisible giant hand that pinned her inside, preventing her from escaping.
"Grandpa, it's really hot, like I'm in a furnace, so uncomfortable."
Tan Tai Xian Ling struggled endlessly, her dark skin turned red, it seemed as if there was a fire burning inside her body, her forehead was covered with sweat, her big, lively eyes were filled with tears, full of pain and begging.
"You have to bear it even if it hurts."
Tan Tai Cong hardened his heart, turned his head away, and silently said in his heart: "My child! Don't blame grandpa for being cruel. This jar of precious blood has amazing divine power. Absorbing all the essence inside can be equivalent to ten years of hard training. So no matter how painful or uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it."
Tan Tai Xian Ling's face was red, and she was twitching like lava. She shouted loudly until her voice was hoarse, and stretched out her hands helplessly. Many people looked at her with sadness, but no one said a word.
"Her body is too weak. I'm afraid she can't withstand the impact of the divine essence. She may even die. I'll go and help her." Taking a step forward, Ye Tianlin came to the blood jar. The power of light gushed out, bright and dazzling, and vigorous vitality filled all directions.
Tan Tai Xian Ling stopped shouting immediately, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was back in her mother's arms, and she fell into a peaceful and calm sleep. There was no more pain on her face, but instead she felt comfortable and refreshed inside.
"What's wrong with Ye Tian? It seems like you care too much."
According to their understanding of Ye Tian, he is not the kind of person who meddles in other people's affairs. So why is it that now, when others haven't asked for help yet, he is taking the initiative to help? This is a bit unreasonable.
"Could it be that Ye Tian has fallen in love with this girl?" Zhang Ting made a bold guess, but even she herself did not believe that the cold and bloodthirsty Ye Tian would fall in love with a girl he had only been with for two days.
"You think too much. Ye Tian must be helping out reluctantly because he doesn't want Tan Tai Xian Ling to hold him back," the fat man shook his head, feeling that this was the only reason that made sense.
"Speaking of holding back, it suddenly reminded me of certain people. If it weren't for those people, we wouldn't have been delayed here for a few days. Brother, don't you agree?"
"Zhang Ting, you really deserve a beating."
Ever since he was described as a heavyweight burden, the fat man has been feeling unhappy. Now when he heard the old things being brought up again, he was even more annoyed. However, when he saw Zhang Ting hiding next to Wutan, he felt helpless.
"I'll let you be proud first, and then one day I'll find a big brother stronger than Wujitian, and then I'll slowly deal with you," the fat man muttered.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, there was a tiger roar that shook the earth. Everyone was startled and looked hurriedly in the direction of the sound. They saw a blurry shadow of a beast approaching rapidly at the end of the horizon.
"It's the Fire Wing Tiger! The Fire Wing Tiger is coming!"
"This beast is extremely ferocious and powerful. Even the clan leader is no match for it. What should we do now..."
"It must have come for revenge this time. Given its temper, it will eat us all alive..."
Everyone was immediately frightened, their faces turned pale, their eyes were filled with despair, and they were at a loss. They completely ignored the fact that there were several people here who could kill the Fire Monkey King.
Boom!!!
The beast's shadow was still a hundred miles away when the ground began to shake and the stone statues were trembling. It was conceivable that this fire-winged tiger was definitely a huge monster. Everyone became even more panicked, and many people ran into the house holding their children.
As a result, a group of people bumped into each other and there was a lot of wailing.
"Damn beast!" Tan Tai Guang's face was as gloomy as water, and he shouted: "Don't panic, the beast will be here in a while, there is enough time for everyone to hide in the cellar, don't hurt the children."
The rumbling sound woke everyone up. The crowd stopped panicking and quickly returned home with their children, closed their doors and hid in the cellar.
In order to prevent the invasion of monsters and beasts and cause innocent casualties, every household dug a cellar under the house, and it was very deep, making it difficult for ordinary monsters and beasts to detect it.
In just a dozen breaths, only Tan Tai Cong and his son, Wu Tian and his three companions, and Tan Tai Xian Ling who was being baptized were left on the square.
Roar!
The tiger roared continuously, like waves crashing against the shore, the ancient trees trembled, the leaves flew everywhere, like thousands of horses galloping, the ground rumbled, and dust covered the sky!
Wutan's eyes were as sharp as torches. He could clearly see the true form of the Fire-Winged Tiger, which was thirty feet tall. From afar, it looked like a mountain rushing across the earth. It had wings on its back, and its fiery red hair looked like wisps of burning flames. As it flapped its wings, a hurricane suddenly arose, sweeping up the grass and trees all over the sky. Its ferocity was truly astonishing!
"Brother Wutan, please lend me a hand," Tan Tai Cong said with a bow.
Currently, his injuries have not healed yet and his son has just made a breakthrough. They are no match for the Fire Wing Tiger at all, so he can only ask Wutan for help.
Tan Tai Cong was very confident in this man's strength. Since he could kill the Fire Monkey King, the Fire Winged Tiger should be no problem at all. He just didn't know whether the other party was willing to help, which made him very worried.
"There's no need for Wu Tian to take action for this kind of thing. Fatty can handle it alone."
Before Wu Tian answered, Shan Youde took the initiative to stand up, put his hands behind his back, held his head high and looked straight ahead, striking a pose that he thought was very cool and stylish, but made Zhang Ting, who was standing beside him, laugh so hard that she fell backwards with joy.
Tan Tai Cong was a little skeptical at first, because in his opinion, the fat man's strength was not much different from his own. However, when he saw the indifferent expressions of the others, he had to take it seriously.
"In that case, I would like to thank you in advance."
"It's just a small matter. Just wait and see how I, Fatty, deal with it."
The fat man became even more proud. He raised his eyebrows at Zhang Ting, leaped up, and appeared outside the wall the next moment. He seemed not to take the Fire-Winged Tiger seriously at all. He was calm and his eyes hidden in the cracks of his flesh were full of contempt.
