In the basin, many Tu people are busy. Some are dealing with things recovered from hunting, some are taking out baskets woven with branches and rattan, and some are arranging torch festivals. At the meeting place, some people were still carrying wood for firewood. Xirui did not appear again, and even Tu Jie did not return to his tribe. The busy work of the Gaoshan Tu people continued until nightfall.
At this time, all thirty-six tribes of the Gaoshan Tu tribe had arrived in the basin. Under the arrangement of Xirui's tribe, they neatly surrounded the center of the basin. There were many firewood piles in each tribe, and throughout the basin In the very center is a huge pyre that is ten meters high and thirty meters in diameter. It is obviously the main bonfire.
There were already some fires burning around. The Alpine Tu people from various tribes took out the various foods they had brought and began to make final preparations.
When Xirui came to the center of the basin, the night was already dark, and the surrounding torches and fires of various tribes were already burning. With Xirui's appearance, cheers rang out in large areas. Obviously, these high-mountain native people They still support their clan leader very much.
Xi Rui's face was very calm, as if nothing had happened. He walked to the huge pyre in the center of the basin and stopped. Tu Jie also returned to his tribe at this time, and Rose followed Xi Rui. Behind Rui, at this time, she had changed into a leopard skin outfit, but the leopard skin was really pitiful, and most of her round thighs and plump breasts were exposed. Coupled with her charming and charming face, the young people of the high-mountain Tu tribe immediately cheered even more crazily.
Xirui said loudly: "Okay, this year is a good harvest year. The population of the thirty-six tribes of our high mountain Tu tribe has increased a lot. At the same time, there are fewer attacks by giant beasts. The annual Torch Festival, It is a day for us Gaoshan Tu people to celebrate, and it is also a day for our entire Tu people to celebrate. I won’t say much else. Children, let us use the happiest laughter to welcome the great Torch Festival and use your sincerity. , come and ask for the protection of the gods, and use your most sincere emotions to find your own lover. I, Xi Rui, as the leader of the Gaoshan Tu Tribe, announce the official start of the Torch Festival." His voice was spread by his own energy. It expanded to every corner of the basin and clearly entered the ears of every high-mountain Tu people.
As soon as the words fell, cheers suddenly sounded. Xiri threw the torch in her hand into the huge pyre. The flames rose and the huge pyre gradually burned. The old people, women and children of various tribes, Everyone was sitting around the fire, some were eating, and some were preparing various foods. However, the young men and women of the Gaoshan Tu ethnic group had already begun to dance their unique dance, accompanied by high cheers. With a loud sound, the entire basin suddenly became lively. Each of them held a torch in their hands, shouting and dancing happily.
"The Torch Festival is a festival created to thank God for giving us fire. With fire, we can develop today." Tu Jie didn't know when he had arrived at Qi Yue's side.
People around were dancing. At this time, the Tu youths were already going crazy. What Qi Yue was worried about still happened. Many Tu girls came to invite Qi Yue to dance with them. Qi Yue once publicly stated that he heard that Ting and Xue Nu are their wives, so there are no young people to harass them. Fortunately, Xue Nu exudes a cold breath in time, which scares away the girls who come to Qi Yue to invite them. Otherwise, Qi Yue may have already In the midst of thousands of flowers.
Qi Yue said: "When will it start?"
Tujie naturally knew what he was referring to, and lowered his voice: "The Torch Festival is a festival of joy. I'm afraid it will be lively for a long time, and the soldiers participating in the selection have already gone to prepare. When did the bonfire in the center go out? , is the time to start the selection, and the time when the bonfire is burning is the time for us to be happy."
Qi Yue smiled slightly and said: "Brother Tujie, you can go and have some fun too. Since it will take a while to start, I will eat something first." It has not been too long since he came to this era, and the Gaoshan Tu people Although people's barbecue techniques are crude, the meat quality of the beasts in this era is so good, perhaps because it has not been contaminated in any way. Just coating it with some simple mineral salt can produce delicious barbecue. Qi Yue is obsessed with these barbecued meats!
The joy started from the moment the bonfire was lit. The cheers of more than 100,000 people were indeed very contagious. Even Qi Yue and the others were inevitably a little excited. However, the way Qi Yue and Wen Ting expressed their excitement was very simple. Excited to eat, they gathered around the fire and ate. Only Xue Nu sat quietly next to them. I wonder if it was influenced by Qi Yue and Wen Ting. Although Xue Nu now only eats fruits, her appetite is also small. She was much older than when Qi Yue and Wen Ting first met her.
"How do you know how to eat! Can you go dancing with me?" A crisp voice rang in Qi Yue's ears. He was stunned for a moment. When he looked up, he saw that Rose had come to him without knowing when, and Snow Girl The cold aura emanating from it didn't seem to have much of an impact on her.
Although Wen Ting did not look at Qi Yue, as soon as Rose spoke to him, Qi Yue immediately felt that something was wrong with Wen Ting's breath. He couldn't help showing a wry smile and said to Rose: "I am still more interested in eating, Rose Miss, please invite yourself."
At this moment, the leaves on Wen Ting's head suddenly "coincidentally" fell down, revealing her fair skin and elegant face. Wen Ting turned her head slightly and glanced at Rose, who also saw him. The next moment, the rose left Qi Yue's side at almost the fastest speed. Although the stars are willing to surround the moon, if it is just a firefly, it is the best choice to stay away from the bright moon. Otherwise, its faint light will will be completely ignored.
Time passed by, and when the bonfire in the center finally went out, the basin full of cheers finally gradually calmed down. Qi Yue found that the number of tribes in the basin was much smaller, and some were still dancing happily before. The young men and women have disappeared. No need to ask, he knows what they are going to do. Qi Yue glanced at Wen Ting and thought to himself, it would be great if Tingting was willing to have a wild game with him.
When Qi Yue looked at Wen Ting, Wen Ting happened to turn around and saw his lustful eyes. She blushed and said, "What are you looking at?"
Qi Yue chuckled, caressed Wen Tingqiao's face with his right hand, then exposed his hand in front of Wen Ting and said, "Look, there is minced meat on your face. Seeing what you eat, your hands are all oily."
Wen Ting said angrily: "It seems like you haven't eaten enough. Give me some water to wash it off."
Qi Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't it a bit... to use my water cloud power like this?"
Wen Ting rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hurry up, I have to eat some fruit."
Qi Yue looked at her dumbfounded. You must know that he is full now. When she was fighting before, Wen Ting ate no less than him. But now she wants to eat fruit. Subconsciously, Qi Yue His eyes fell on Wen Ting's flat belly, and he said to himself: "Be careful and become fat."
Wen Ting gestured to Qi Yue with her small fist and said, "Am I fat?"
Qi Yue chuckled and said: "Don't know, how about you let me hug you and feel it?" Although he was teasing, blue light had already lit up in his hand, and the blue light was spinning like a whirlpool. When it passed through Wen Ting's skin, it had already taken away the oil stains on her hands and corners of her mouth.
Ciri returned to the center of the field at some point, and Luce and his son also walked over at the same time. Although the bonfire in the center had been extinguished, the center of the basin was still very bright under the light of the surrounding torches.
Luce said loudly: "Today is the Torch Festival. At the same time, it is also the day when we select warriors to represent the Tu tribe in the Four Tribes Heroes Competition. I, Luce, the chief of the Luce tribe, recommend my son Lu You to represent the Gaoshan Tu tribe in the competition. If there is Whoever wants to challenge my son please step forward now."
The monster under Lu You let out a low roar, and an invisible energy aura spread around. Its huge wings flapped, and the surrounding firelight suddenly dimmed. The basin that was no longer noisy now, It became even quieter, and all the Gaoshan Tu people who were still present focused their attention on the center of the field.
Shirley looked at Luce calmly, not angry because of the other person's prestige, but in the depths of his eyes, a faint cold light flashed.
Qi Yue knew that it was time for him to appear. Although his skin was a little different from that of the mountain Tu people, the dark night was the best cover. He didn't want to waste more time, so he was the first to come out. , wouldn’t it be good to solve the problem as soon as possible? Since Lu You dares to participate in the selection with such an attitude, it can be seen that he must be the strongest among all the warriors of the mountain tribe who have giant beast companions. Instead of waiting for others to test, it is better to solve the problem directly.
"Qi Yue of the Tujie tribe, challenge." Following his standard Gaoshan language, Qi Yue had already walked out from the Tujie tribe. There was a distance from the Tujie tribe to the center of the basin. Qi Yue did not use his abilities. Instead, he walked towards the center step by step. He took every step firmly, and his calm eyes were always focused on Lu You.
Although Qi Yue's movements were not fast, the faces of several people in the center of the basin changed slightly. Xi Rui showed a joyful smile, while Luce's face became serious. But the one who really felt the most profound was still Lu You was stared at by Qi Yue. Others may not be able to feel anything from Qi Yue, but Lu You's feeling was extremely deep. Although Qi Yue was not walking fast, his body seemed to have integrated with everything around him. They seemed to be one body, which made Lu You unable to see clearly. At the same time, every time Qi Yue took a step forward, Lu You clearly felt that the pressure on his body was getting heavier. Even the two-winged giant lizard under him was It roared uneasily, and its powerful front paws left deep marks on the ground.
Qi Yue walked until he was twenty meters away from Lu You before stopping. Lu Si couldn't help but said: "Are you from the Tujie tribe? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Qi Yue smiled indifferently and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in our Gaoshan Tu tribe. Can Chief Lusi remember the appearance of everyone? I am a warrior of the Tujie tribe. This can be done by both the Tujie chief and the clan leader. prove."
Xirui nodded and said: "Yes, Qi Yue is a warrior under Tu Jie. He has superb abilities and is a suitable candidate to participate in the trial. Since he has launched a challenge, let's start right away. The giant beast partners attack Wu Eyes, please pay attention to safety on both sides of the battle." As he said that, he gave Qi Yue a cold look, turned around and walked towards the people of his tribe.
Although Luce has always had a deep conflict with Xi Rui secretly, Xi Rui is the leader of the Gaoshan Tu tribe after all. He has already said this, Lu Si didn't feel like saying anything more, winked at his son, and quietly withdrew. Go down, at this time, only Qi Yue and Lu You are left in the center of the venue, looking at each other from a distance.
Lu You looked at Qi Yue with cold eyes. He naturally understood what his father meant. He had never seen this young man named Qi Yue before, but in the imagination of their father and son, he must have been trained by Xirui and Tujie. Warrior, Luce's intention is naturally to destroy this person in his own hands and not give Ciri any chance to make a comeback. As long as he can achieve good results in this four-tribe hero competition, Luce's position among the high-mountain Tu tribe will be His status will gradually surpass that of Xi Rui, and when the clan leader is elected next time, he will most likely replace Xi Rui.
"Where is your giant beast partner?" Lu You said in a deep voice. He was sitting on the back of his two-winged giant lizard. Although he had no weapons, he already exuded a strong aura, resisting the invisible pressure Qi Yue brought to him.
Qi Yue's mind was spinning. Ever since he accepted the White Snake as his envoy that day, he had begun to fully absorb the energy of the Blue Sea Thunder Bead and the Golden Winged Dapeng Eagle in his body according to the method of the Deep Sea Snake. These energies were integrated by him. , after constant absorption and filtration, the uniform cloud power is constantly formed and combined with his own cloud power. Although his body has reached a new level of tyranny after being transformed by the source of nature, these energies are too powerful after all. , In the past few days, Qi Yue's own strength has fully recovered to Siyun's level. He only needs to practice for a while to absorb all the energy.
