The first sun rises in the east, and the warm sunshine falls on the white earth, melting a piece of snow.
The long-awaited New Year Festival has finally arrived. The entire Yejia Village is in a noisy and joyful atmosphere, and there is a lively scene everywhere.
The huge square to the east of the village was already full of figures. It was a large, dark area with thousands of people. Apparently, the villagers of Yejia Village had all arrived.
"The annual New Year Festival is the most lively time in Yejia Village."
Ye Tian sighed and squeezed into the square.
At this time, on the high platform not far away, the village chief Ye Shi, the captain of the hunting team Ye Feng and other top experts in the village were standing here. They all had solemn expressions and shining eyes.
The high platform is huge, completely black, cylindrical, and three feet high. It stands like a pagoda, exuding a majestic momentum.
Ye Tian knew that this was the altar. Although he could see it every year, he was very shocked every time he saw it.
The ancient altar is the same age as Yejiacun. I don’t know how many years have passed, and it is full of vicissitudes of life. It looks like an old man, standing here, calmly watching the growth of Yejiacun.
…
Time passed slowly amidst the commotion, and everyone in the square began to find a seat to sit down. Everyone came with benches.
Ye Tian didn't bring it, but someone brought it for him.
"Ye Tian, come here quickly, the New Year Festival is about to begin!" The voice of Ye Niu, his best friend, came from the side. Ye Tian smiled slightly, walked over, and sat with Ye Niu.
The two lowered their heads and talked privately.
"Ye Tian, do you know? I heard that this year's annual festival, the village chief is planning to sacrifice a flying tiger!" Ye Niu whispered, his face full of excitement, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Flying Tiger? You mean that ferocious beast that is comparable to the ninth level of a warrior?" Ye Tian was shocked when he heard this. In the past, powerful ferocious beasts were sacrificed, but they were all ferocious beasts that were below the seventh level of a warrior.
Even so, these young people were shocked.
As for the ferocious beast that reached the ninth level of a warrior, they had never seen it before.
"Yes, I heard that the village chief personally went out to catch it. It is very powerful. My father and I took a look at it from a distance and both felt our hearts tremble. You will know later." Ye Niu said excitedly.
"Yes!" Ye Tian nodded and looked at the altar, feeling even more excited.
Soon, the crowd leading to the altar dispersed, and several strong men came up carrying a huge cage and placed it on the tall altar.
"Is that the Flying Tiger inside?" Ye Tian's eyes narrowed, his face full of curiosity. Ye Niu on the side had already widened his eyes and stared at the altar without blinking.
"It's a sacrificial beast!"
There were murmurs among the crowd.
"quiet!"
The village chief Ye Shi, the leader of the hunting team Ye Feng, and others, one by one, the top experts in Yejia Village slowly walked towards the high platform. Following Ye Feng's cold shout, the surrounding discussions suddenly fell silent.
Under the protection of a group of top experts from Yejia Village, village chief Ye Shi stepped onto the altar. Standing on the altar, his old figure looked a bit tall.
Everyone looked at the village chief and listened to the village chief's instructions.
"We, Yejia Village, have been here for seven hundred and thirty-two years and have offered sacrifices to heaven every year. Therefore, every time there is a disaster, we can avert danger..."
Ye Shi's rich voice slowly spread, and the sound was loud and spread throughout the square.
Ye Tian listened a little impatiently below. This lecture was the same every year. It was like the lectures given by the principal in the school in his previous life. It was endless and boring.
On the other hand, Ye Niu on the side was very excited and his face was filled with excitement.
…
"Today, I, Ye Shi, as the 1,032nd generation village chief of Yejia Village, lead the villagers to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. May my Yejia Village prosper and live forever!"
Finally, the village chief finished his lecture.
All the villagers stood up one after another and shouted loudly along with Ye Shi.
"Sacrifice to heaven!"
Ye Shi's old face was very serious at this moment, and his deep eyes were shining with sharp light. On the altar, the cage was opened, and waves of angry roars came from inside, shocking the heart.
Uh-huh!
With the sound of a hurricane, a huge figure rushed out of the cage and spread its wings towards the sky.
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, looking at the sky with a shocked face. It was a giant yellow tiger with its back and two wings. When it spread its wings, it flew high into the sky.
"So strong, is this a ferocious beast at the ninth level of a warrior?" Ye Tian felt a huge coercion coming down on him. Facing this flying tiger, he was no match at all.
"It's the Flying Tiger!"
"Oh my God, a ferocious beast at the ninth level of a warrior!"
…
The villagers were also shocked, and those who didn't know seemed panicked.
However, the next moment, an old figure rushed into the sky.
It's the village chief!
Ye Tian's eyes narrowed, a little unbelievable that the village chief jumped so high!
As soon as Ye Shi's legs landed on the altar, his whole body instantly flew into the sky like a sharp arrow. He stared at the flying flying tiger in front of him and shouted: "Here comes the knife!"
Below, Ye Feng, the captain of the hunting team, suddenly stood up, drew out the long knife from behind, and threw it high into the air.
Ye Shi immediately caught the long knife, his eyes were bright, he shouted coldly, and his body suddenly rose a few heights again, and he appeared above the Flying Tiger.
"Roar!" Feitianhu's eyes were full of horror when he saw Ye Shi coming with a knife.
"cut!"
With a low roar, Ye Shi slashed hard, the sword flashed, and blood spilled into the sky. As the sword slashed down, Feitianhu's body with the huge sword fell hard on the altar, and the blood flowed along the altar to the earth.
"Long live the village chief!"
"Long live Yejiacun!"
The villagers immediately shouted, everyone was excited and excited. Even Ye Tian was infected by this scene and excited.
"I announce that the New Year Festival has begun. Let's serve wine and meat!" Ye Shi put down the blood-stained long knife and said slowly to the surrounding villagers. Immediately, a famous village woman brought wine and meat to them.
Ye Feng, the captain of the hunting team, stepped forward and shouted coldly: "The competition for the New Year Festival has begun, and all martial arts disciples below the martial arts level must participate. Above the martial arts level, we can compete freely. Remember, no harm is allowed until the point is reached." "
Immediately, one by one, the Yejia Village teenagers walked out of the crowd, came to Ye Feng, and lined up in a long line.
"Ye Tian, it's our turn." Ye Niu pulled Ye Tian and said.
"You go ahead, I won't go." Ye Tian shook his head. He had become a warrior and naturally did not need to participate in these children's things.
"But Uncle Feng said that all martial arts disciples must participate!" Ye Niu said with confusion on his face.
"Don't worry, Uncle Feng won't blame me, and if I go up, who else will be my opponent?" Ye Tian said with a smile.
"That's right. Although you don't have a martial spirit, you are the strongest among the martial arts disciples!" Ye Niu also smiled when he heard this, but then he seemed to remember something and quickly covered his mouth and looked at Ye Tian nervously, Stuttering: "Ye... Ye Tian, I... I..."
He knew that he had said the wrong thing and had not awakened his martial spirit, which was a huge blow to Ye Tian.
"It's okay, you can go!" However, Ye Tian's reaction was very dull. He patted Ye Niu's shoulder and encouraged him with a smile: "Good brother, come back with a good ranking."
"Yeah!" Seeing that Ye Tian was not angry, Ye Niu nodded quickly and ran to line up.
"New Year's Eve..."
Looking at the teenagers lining up in front of Ye Feng, Ye Tian whispered to himself: "I've been waiting for this for a long time!"
The young men who were just martial arts disciples did not practice any martial arts. They only knew some boxing and kicking skills. They all fought with brute force. The winner and ranking were soon decided.
Ye Niu is not bad, he has entered the top ten, and he is considered good among this generation of teenagers.
"With such qualifications, it is no longer a problem to enter the seventh level of warrior!" Ye Tian secretly thought, happy for his friend.
"Hey, isn't this the number one genius in our Yejia Village? Why didn't you go up to compete? With your strength, it shouldn't be a problem to get first place."
Just when Ye Tian was happy for Ye Niu, a sneer suddenly reached his ears.
Ye Tian turned around and looked. Not far away, Ye Wei came over with three young men. The one who spoke was one of the young men. He was looking at Ye Tian with a mocking face.
"Ye Tian, as a martial arts disciple, you didn't go up to compete? Didn't you hear what Uncle Feng said?" Ye Wei said in a deep voice, but the teasing look in his eyes could not be hidden from Ye Tian, who has been a man for two generations.
Ye Tian's face immediately darkened, and he thought to himself: There is a way to heaven, but if you don't take it, there is no way to hell. If you break in, you are simply seeking death!
"Hey, aren't those Ye Tian and Ye Wei?"
"They seemed to be having a fight."
"Come over and take a look!"
…
Both Ye Tian and Ye Wei were young geniuses, known to everyone in Yejia Village, and they immediately attracted many villagers to watch.
Ye Feng also saw the rioting crowd, walked over with a sullen face, and shouted coldly: "What's wrong with you? Don't you know it's a New Year's Eve?"
He has a high prestige, and whenever he speaks, the place becomes silent.
"Uncle Feng!"
"Uncle Feng!"
Ye Wei hurriedly went up to greet him, and Ye Tian also nodded.
"It's you again? Do you still want to spar?" Ye Feng looked at Ye Wei with sharp eyes, intuitively telling him that this boy was picking on him. After all, he knew Ye Tian's character well.
"Uncle Feng, it's not me who is inciting trouble. You just said that martial arts disciples have to go up to compete. Ye Tian is also a martial arts disciple, but he doesn't want to go up." Ye Wei said quickly and respectfully.
"oh?"
Ye Feng's eyes flashed. It was indeed him who said this, but he also knew Ye Tian's situation. If he could not awaken his martial soul, he could not become a warrior. It was no big deal if he did not compete.
But what Ye Wei said was not wrong. Those words did come from his mouth. If he refutes Ye Wei, wouldn't it be self-defeating
Ye Feng glanced at Ye Wei coldly, knowing that this boy wanted to see Ye Tian's joke, he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. With such an attitude, even if he became a warrior, he would not achieve much.
Feeling Ye Feng's sharp eyes, Ye Wei smiled and did not dare to speak. But he expected that with so many people watching, Ye Feng would definitely not intercede with Ye Tian.
"Boy, let me see what you do this time, hum!"
Looking at Ye Tian with a calm expression, Ye Wei sneered.
