The Fire Dance Festival is a day of carnival for all orcs. As their favorites with primitive animal nature - courtship and hunting, they will be magnified in this festival and become the theme of the festival.
The sky was dark, and the orcs gathered in the open space in front of the altar. The bonfire formed a huge animal head, which was placed according to certain rules.
As a member of the tribe, Su Ce also needs to attend this gathering—in fact, as a person on Earth, he is very interested in festivals in other worlds.
I always feel that there is a feeling of being close to the wildness contained in the blood of the orcs...
Tan Tu held Su Ce's hand tightly. He had to let the alien orcs know that this was his mate. Su Ce didn't refuse him. His attention was already focused on the orcs he had never seen before.
In addition to the Taige tribe and the Mayan tribe, the Yige tribe, the Diro tribe and the Slei tribe also came here.
Their appearance was roughly similar to that of the Taige tribe where Su Ce belonged, but there were some slight differences, which were probably due to the influence of the environment.
The Yige tribe is about half a head shorter than Tantu and the others... About the same height as Reigns, the tallest female Su Ce has ever seen. The lines of the body are very smooth, and it seems that they can feel a kind of A throbbing rhythm.
The people of the Diro tribe and the Yige tribe are about the same height, but they have a wider body shape, dark skin, and muscles embedded in their bodies, like rocks, giving people a very stable feeling.
Those of the Sley tribe were slender, with the tallest average height among all the tribes, their skin was fairer, and their overall feeling was indifferent or gloomy, just like...Alsen.
Su Ce looked at it, as if he had caught something.
Tantu also seemed to understand Su Ce's doubts, and lowered his head and said to him, "A Ce, our beasts are different, but most of them are similar in nature to form a tribe."
Su Ce thought about it and said, "Be more specific."
Of course, Tantu answered honestly: "The Taige tribe we belong to is mainly ferocious males, and the animal types are usually tigers, lions, giant dogs, foxes, bears, etc. Arsen belongs to the scales, and of course they live with us. It's good too, but more people like to go to places that are more... wetter, like where the Sley tribe lives-outside of a big, wide swamp."
"Most of the people living in the Slei tribe have scales, and the beasts are usually snakes, monitor lizards, etc. The Yige tribe are all raptors, because they live in very high places, and the beasts are mostly eagles, Vultures and vultures. The Diluo tribe is a relatively special tribe, and the males belong to the sub-dragon category, and they are bipedal dragons."
... There are even two-legged ground dragons! By the way, isn't this a dinosaur...
Well, since even orcs exist, it is not so strange to have dinosaurs.
Su Ce nodded to express his understanding: "What about the Mayan tribe?"
He saw the males forming a circle outside to protect the people inside, but he didn't find anything special about them.
And Tantu said: "The male beasts of the Mayan tribe do not favor any one, it can be regarded as a mixed type."
This is probably because they intermarried with various tribes... Su Ce thought to himself.
While the two were talking, the head of the Sata clan and the team leaders from other tribes saluted the statue of the beast god. After each recited the sacrificial words belonging to the tribe, the Fire Dance Festival officially kicked off.
Night time is reserved for males and females—after a blinding flame flies into the air, countless flames rain down and vanish before they hit the ground.
There was a burst of cheers, and dozens of males accompanied the females of the Mayan tribe to the campfire. The males—especially the ones without a partner—mostly held a bright red gold medal in their hands. blade. When they meet a female they like, they will pass the leaves across the males. If the female accepts it, they will stay in front of the bonfire where the male is and "exchange feelings" with him. And if this male is lucky enough, within a few days of the Fire Dance Festival, he can decide on his life partner!
Tantu led Su Ce to a bonfire. There were more than 30 people in front of the bonfire. Most of them had a good relationship with Tantu. For example, they came to help when they got married last time. For example, in the afternoon At that time, several of them were in a group hunting with Tantu. Su Ce saw that the more conspicuous one was Arsen from the python family.
The married males were also with their mates, and there were several different brackets on the fire, on which were turned small beasts, which they used to please their mates. Su Ce glanced at the other single males, and found that there were also some things piled up around each of them. It seemed that they were going to wait for a while to please the females of the Mayan tribe.
When Arsen saw Tantu coming, he raised his hand and threw a bunch of things over. Tantu reached out to catch them. They were the small beasts he had left in the hands of Kari and Vido before—after hunting the festival beasts, he Specially found fat and tender prey, for his Ah Ce.
I heard Arsen say: "They asked me to bring it to you."
Tan Tu scratched his hair: "Thanks."
Before Su Ce came, as the two most powerful young men in the tribe, Tantu and Arsen actually fought a lot—that is, the sparring between males. Each sees the other as their greatest threat. But because of the similar strength, the two sides are relatively friendly under the sympathy of each other. Later, after becoming neighbors, they would meet occasionally on their way back to say hello or something, so that when Tan Tu and Su Ce got married, although they were still a little indifferent after meeting, they were familiar enough to invite each other to prepare for themselves. Food for wedding dinner.
Su Ce found that among the unmarried males present, only Arsen didn't hold a red leaf in his hand, which was a bit strange. At this time, Tantu, who was wholeheartedly looking forward to his partner, came over and answered the question: "Alsen has no idea of finding a partner. It seems that I have never taken a fancy to it."
And it was because he was not interested in any females in the tribe that Tantu was worried that he would fall in love with Ah Ce and rob him. But now it seems that Ah Ce doesn't like him either.
... Then what does he like
Tantu raised his eyebrows, feeling that it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, as long as it's not Ah Ce, it doesn't matter to him whether this guy, Alson, ends up with a female or a male.
Su Ce didn't have much interest in Arsen. It was because Tantu made a lot of jokes about him at the beginning that he was familiar with his name, so he didn't pay too much attention to him. He just turned his head, He said, "Tantu, give me the things."
Before going out, he brought a lot of seasonings and vegetables, all of which were wrapped in a piece of animal skin by Tantu and carried, and there was a large pile on the ground. There are also some oily, palm-sized millet noodle cakes, which are already a bit cold. Su Ce took out a few wooden sticks that had already been sharpened, and threaded them in one by one.
Tantu also quickly set up the grill for the two of them, just like other orc families.
Su Ce put the pancake skewers on the rack and baked them, and took a small brush in his hand to apply the seasoning on them—the orcs always knead the seasoning on it by hand, and Su Ce always felt that it was not clean, so he wanted to peel it off. He tried to make a brush with animal hair, but he succeeded.
Tantu is really capable.
Soon the scones gave off a salty smell, and several orcs nearby had never seen this method before, and they all looked at it curiously. Su Ce turned a blind eye and concentrated on baking cakes. When one was baked soon, he handed it to Tantu first: "Eat some to pad your stomach."
Tan Tu was skinning and cleaning the small animals, his hands were covered with blood, he raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Su Ce innocently.
Su Ce sighed, put another skewer of pancakes on the shelf, let it bake, and began to feed Tantu with his hand.
Tantu bit off the front one in one bite, and narrowed his eyes with a hey smile.
Su Ce was also very happy to see that he was eating well.
The other males who were grilling meat for their partner immediately stabbed Tantu fiercely, and when they turned back to their partner, they all showed courteous smiles.
That guy Tantu is really lucky... But my family is also very cute.
It's just that it would be better if you could be more gentle with me... This is their common thought.
Many children also came to the bonfire meeting. In the words here, they are cubs.
The female cubs usually stay with their two fathers, and the male cubs will run around, eating and drinking here and there is normal.
There were no cubs in front of the campfire where Su Ce was.
You must know that it is not easy for orcs to reproduce. Females usually take several years to conceive, and they may not be able to give birth to a second child after giving birth. According to Su Ce's thinking, this may be because the appearance of a female is also male. Although this form is suitable for living in the dangerous world of orcs, it is also because of this body structure that it makes it difficult to give birth.
Su Ce baked the second skewer of pancakes and gave it to Tantu as usual. At this time, Tantu had already packed up a small animal and put it on the grill.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion not far away.
