Green fireflies blazed in braziers made from rhinoceros skull cannons.
The pungent smell indicated that the fuel inside was not a good thing, and the smoke gradually curled up in the cave, accompanied by the gloomy firelight, reflecting the entire cave like a ghost.
But the knife tail Gray Claw, who was in the smoke, didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He was still waving the weird magic weapon made of elderberry and alien bone in his hand, chanting indescribable language, and constantly jumping around the brazier.
This place is called the Cave of the Valiant, and it is a sacred place for the Gray Claw tribe.
In other words, the former Holy Land.
In the past, once a new chief of the Gray Claw tribe was born, he would be brought into the Cave of Heroes by the previous old chief or shaman to carry out the custom of 'eating bones' representing the highest power transfer of the Gray Claw tribe and inheriting the power of the ancestors. The instrument'.
To put it simply, it is to eat the bone fragments that the ancestors left here and are constantly worshiped by the Gray Claw tribe, so as to obtain the extraordinary power that can resist other races' magic or magic.
From a more rational point of view, it is actually a ritual to awaken the ancient blood in one's body through the remnants of the ancestor's body as a medium.
In addition, because these bone fragments are constantly worshiped by the Gray Claw tribe outside as a substitute for their ancestors, they have actually been impregnated with a considerable degree of power of faith, and the great chief who eats the bone fragments will also gain similar The identity of the "Holy Son" of the church continues to absorb the power of faith from the tribe to strengthen itself.
In fact, other Inhumans also have similar customs, but the last battle of gods was so dark that many traditions of the Inhumans were missing in that disaster, and the surviving Gray Claw tribe was the best preserved, which directly led to The Gray Claw tribe has been able to dominate the Ferryn Plains for nearly a thousand years.
But that is also a thing of the past.
At this time, the ancestral bone fragments, which were regarded as life by the great chiefs of the Gray Claw Tribe, have been strung on the wizard staff of elderberry by the end of a knife, and turned into a ritual object that sounds like a musical instrument.
The flame in the brazier suddenly rose to a height of more than two meters, the color changed from light green to dark green like a pool of stagnant water, the smoke became thicker, and the smell escalated from pungent to choking.
But the end of the knife was not surprised, he stopped chanting, switched back to the common Shumen language and began to recite:
"Tajibana, Tajibana... Believer Bladetail Gray Claw offers you the most precious thing of our race, and asks for your protection to make me stronger and able to defeat Maneyan who is trying to usurp my ruling position Bar!"
Daowei has always disliked his elder brother Maneyan, since he was a child.
True, Mane-Eye was the bravest and strongest of the tribe's younger generations, but Bladetail felt that times had changed.
The humans outside are becoming stronger and stronger under the blessing of the gods. Although they have no intention of crossing the Ferrin Mountains and entering the plains, even the Gray Claws, who are famous for their bravery, except for the chief and Sa People outside Manchu are almost no opponents of humans who have mastered divine arts.
The protection of the ancestors has been outdated, and the only way out for aliens is to believe in those gods!
He told his thoughts to the chief at the time, that is, the father of the two brothers, and the result was that he was blasted by the other party.
Daowei will always remember that day. On weekdays, his kind father had a trembling expression on his face, and warned Daowei word by word not to have such thoughts, otherwise he would clean up the knife instead of his ancestors. Tail, this unworthy descendant who has forgotten the grace of his ancestors.
And the next day after that day, the Great Chief, who was still vacillating between the two heirs, chose Maneyan as the new Great Chief without hesitation.
After experiencing a series of blows, Bladetail left the Gray Claw tribe, and then he got an oracle from the gods in the swamps of a valley in the Ferrin Mountains.
So he began to practice witchcraft according to the words of the god Tajiba Na who claimed to be the "God of Justice".
Sure enough, compared to the combat skills passed down from generation to generation by the Gray Claw Tribe, the speed of witchcraft practice can be said to be rapid. It didn't take long for the tail of the knife to gain enough power to return directly to the Gray Claw Tribe, defeating those who had not yet inherited the power of their ancestors. Mane Eye, almost killed him directly.
After that, he started to win over other ferocious Inhumans, suppressed the weak Inhumans with absolute power, and ruled all the Inhuman tribes with high pressure, intending to weed out the useless weak Inhumans and increase the average Inhumans as much as possible. Strength, in order to develop the entire Inhuman race into a strong state of the whole people.
Daowei really wanted to work hard at the beginning, so that his deceased father could see in the ancestor's ancestral hall that he was wrong, and that he was the most suitable candidate to become the chief.
However, the materials needed to practice witchcraft are becoming more and more rare. If you use more common materials, you must prepare a large amount of continuous refining. This makes him become a little exhausted in order to collect materials, and often even has to destroy them. Only an alien tribe can barely collect enough materials, not to mention hard work, even maintaining normal rule is somewhat difficult.
Fortunately, he still has strength. Looking at the entire Ferrin Plain, no one is his single enemy! Even if all the aliens are dissatisfied with themselves, it's meaningless, they can't do any harm to themselves at all!
Daowei thought that this kind of rule could last for a long time. After all, in his opinion, the alien tribes that have been wiped out are just some "old, weak, sick and disabled", they are branches that the alien tribe does not need, and the entire alien tribe is still thriving —At least the number of gray jackals under his command seems to have increased a lot...
However, this seemingly 'stable' situation came to an abrupt end.
His elder brother, Maneyan, who fell off the cliff and escaped to his death, returned to the Ferrin Plain at some point, and began to lead the weak aliens who were driven to the desolate and barren land to fend for themselves, and began to rise up against Gray Claw tribe rule.
At the beginning, Daowei was able to do this with ease. After all, no matter how you look at it, your side is more powerful, and the alien tribe must be stronger.
As a result, the repeated sieges not only failed to eliminate the Inhuman army led by Zongyan, but the fierce Inhumans on his side were like embroidered pillows, they were blown up one by one, and some even defected directly to the opposite side...
Daowei, who couldn't hold back, showed up in person a few days ago and wanted to directly kill Maneyan, the commander in chief, in order to end the general situation of the rebel army.
As a result, although he was indeed stronger than Zongyan, his strength was quite limited, and he couldn't kill the opponent quickly. On the contrary, there were many strong people on the side of Zongyan who were at the same level as Zongyan.
This made Daowei not only failed to achieve his goal, but was almost killed. He was so scared that he fled back to the Gray Claw tribe in embarrassment.
After that, after learning from the painful experience, he resorted to his last trick—offering the most precious things in the clan, and begging the gods he believed in for their protection!
