In order to persuade Lan Ke to leave, Shi Tianqi explained the whole story to Lan Ke.
After listening to his words, Lan Ke suddenly realized.
This is a primitive plane with many tribes, big and small. The big tribes have cities, while the small tribes live in villages.
The tribe where Shi Tianqi lived was just a small tribe, with only about a thousand people in total. If Shi Tianqi hadn't been lucky enough to get the plane trader, life in the tribe would have been even worse. I don't know how many people would have frozen to death or starved to death in this winter alone.
The most important thing is that the people here also practice cultivation, and their cultivation methods have been passed down since ancient times. But the strange thing is that only men can practice, but women cannot.
Not only that, their power is also very violent. Every time they advance, it is very dangerous. If they are not careful, they will explode and die. It is okay when they are at a low level, but once they go up, the risk of them exploding and dying will become greater and greater.
That violent power not only makes them stronger, but also makes them sexually active, and they need women to relieve their desires.
Just 100 years ago, someone accidentally discovered that if you have intercourse with a woman when advancing to the next level, the risk of exploding and dying would be greatly reduced.
This discovery drove everyone crazy, especially those strong people with high levels who were desperately suppressing their chances of advancement for fear of exploding and dying.
Unfortunately, women who cannot practice cultivation have fragile bodies and cannot withstand several ordeals, especially when they are advancing. Those violent energies will enter women's bodies through intercourse, and women's fragile bodies simply cannot withstand it, and they often die after one intercourse.
It can be said that this is a method of exchanging lives for lives. The strong men use the lives of these poor women to exchange for their own lives.
Therefore, in order to save their lives and make themselves stronger, the strong men are more eager for women, and they wish they could take all the women in the territory to their homes.
In order to snatch the woman, the strong men fought fiercely, until the casualties were too great, they were forced to stop and agree on rules.
Over the past hundred years, the strong have made more and more rules. The most important one is that all tribes in the territory must offer women to the owner of the territory every year. There are also regulations on the number of women, which must not be less!
What's even more perverted is that in order to ensure the number of women, every tribe must register the birth of a baby girl. If the baby dies prematurely, the reason for the death must be clearly explained, otherwise the tribe will be punished!
Shi Tianqi's sister Shi Tianxiu is only 14 years old this year. Because she is beautiful, she will be offered up for people to enjoy in a year.
Lan Ke was so angry after hearing those perverted rules that she almost swore. Those people were really too much. What did they think of women as? Just an object
She looked at Shi Tianqi dissatisfiedly: "Are you really going to offer her up? She is your own sister!"
Shi Tianqi's face twisted suddenly, his face turned ashen, he clenched his fists tightly, as if suppressing his anger: "I... Of course I don't want to!"
Shi Tianxiu suddenly said, "It's none of my brother's business. Don't blame him. He doesn't want to do this. This is the rule. No one can change it. Others have gone through this too. There's no reason why it should change when it comes to me."
Lan Ke looked at her in surprise: "Aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Shi Tianxiu was surprised. "Those people are too strong. If the tribe does not offer women, they will wipe out the tribe and turn everyone in the tribe into slaves. So for the safety of the tribe, we must do this."
Lan Ke looked at Shi Tianxiu's clear eyes and suddenly didn't know what to say. She felt sad. This was a good girl who shouldn't be treated so cruelly.
Shi Tianqi urged again: "Since you already know, leave quickly and don't let others find out."
Shi Tianxiu also nodded: "Yes, you are so beautiful. If other people in the tribe see you, they will definitely offer you to us! You are not from our tribe, so there is no need to sacrifice yourself for our tribe."
Lan Ke didn't plan to leave just like that. She came here to practice with the Snow Wind Beast and didn't want to make a wasted trip.
She looked at Shi Tianqi and asked after a moment, "What is the strength of the warriors in your tribe?"
Shi Tianqi looked at Lan Ke in surprise and said obediently: "We are just a small tribe. The strongest person is the tribe leader. He is a mid-level warrior, and the others are all junior warriors."
Lan Ke frowned. Although she didn't know the strength of the junior warriors here, if most of the people were junior warriors, then the strength of this tribe was definitely not enough.
She asked Shi Tianqi curiously: "Are you also a junior warrior?"
Shi Tianqi nodded, his face a little red, perhaps because he was shy or for some other reason.
Shi Tianxiu looked at him with a look of disappointment and explained to Lan Ke: "It is not easy for a warrior to advance. Our tribe is too weak and the warriors can only kill low-level prey, so their strength has never improved. However, the tribe leader and the witch said that my brother has a very good talent and can definitely become a mid-level warrior!"
Lan Ke nodded, thought for a moment and said to Shi Tianqi: "Use all your strength and punch me."
As she spoke, she stood up, strode to Shi Tianqi, raised her fist and signaled to Shi Tianqi: "Remember, hit here."
She wanted to see how strong Shi Tianqi was.
Shi Tianqi and Shi Tianxiu were shocked by her words and refused to punch her no matter what. They both thought Lan Ke's proposal was too crazy and were afraid that they would break her bones with one punch.
Shi Tianxiu was so anxious that she almost cried: "No, my brother is very strong. He can kill the armored bull with one punch. You can't bear it!"
Shi Tianqi also shook his head desperately: "No, no, you are my friend, I can't hit you."
Lan Ke tried to persuade them, but they still refused. She had no choice but to frown and pretend to be angry and said, "I'll hit you if I ask you to. If you can't do it, I'll dodge. If you don't hit me, do you look down on me?"
Shi Tianqi could only agree: "Well, this... This is what you said, you can't blame me!"
Although he said so, he decided to use only 10% of his strength, fearing that Lan Ke would be injured. Just as Lan Ke said, he punched Lan Ke's raised fist, and saw that the two fists, one big and one small, were about to collide, but he didn't expect Lan Ke's fist to suddenly stretch out and turn into a palm knife to chop his wrist.
Shi Tianqi only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, as if he was cut by a knife. He groaned and instinctively retracted his fist.
Lan Ke said anxiously, "Why are you so weak? Did you not try your best?"
Shi Tianqi: “…” Shit! He met a pervert!
