C782 The Beginning of the Hunt
The beginning of the hunt.
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Akui felt humiliated and angry.
At the same time, he hated Guu Feng even more.
After all, if it wasn't for Guu Feng's comparison, these people would have been grateful to him, but now, it had become a complaint against him.
With anger, Akui said to Gu Feng, "Guu Feng, even if you participate in this Hunting Competition, the strongest warrior of the tribe will only be me, Akui. You, Guu Feng, are not worthy."
Speaking up to this point, Akui looked at Aya with an evil smile. "Sister Aya, hehe. Wait for me, Akui, to become the strongest warrior of the tribe. I will definitely marry you. Sister Aya is the most beautiful girl in the tribe."
Hearing Akui's words, Aya's pretty face revealed a look of disgust.
At the same time, Aya loudly said, "The strongest warrior in the tribe must be me, Mr. Guu Feng."
Guu Feng smiled at Aya and then looked at Akui coldly. "I, Guu Feng, originally did not have the intention to fight for the strongest warrior of this tribe, but now I can say for sure that the warrior of this tribe will not be you."
Guu Feng saw the disgust in Aya's eyes towards Akui.
Since Aya hated Akui, Guu Feng naturally would not let Akui become the strongest warrior of the tribe. After all, the strongest warrior of the tribe had the right to choose any girl of the tribe as his wife.
Aya felt a warmth on her delicate body when she heard Guu Feng's words. At the same time, a smile as bright as a flower appeared on her pretty face.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the tribe leader walked to the altar step by step.
Every time before the clan hunting competition, the people of the tribe would pay their respects to their ancestors.
They would pray to their ancestors to protect these hunters so that they could return with a bountiful harvest.
At this moment, in front of a sculpture, the flesh and blood of various savage beasts had already been placed.
The sculpture looked like an old man. This old man was the ancestor of this tribe.
"Kneel before the ancestor!"
Following the orders of the tribe leader, everyone in the tribe knelt down towards the statue.
At that moment, the tribe leader's words echoed throughout the entire square.
"Great ancestor, please protect your descendants. Please bless them with the ability to hunt even more savage beasts. Please bless them with the ability to return safely."
"Grandsons and grandsons, please show your sincerity!"
Following the tribe leader's words, the tribe members kneeling on the ground started to cut their fingers. Very quickly, drops of blood fell into the soil.
"Kneel!"
After saying this, the tribe members kneeling on the ground all bowed their heads towards the ground.
"Kowtow!"
After kowtowing three times, the tribe leader's voice sounded once again.
As the ceremony was over, everyone stood up.
At this moment, over a hundred strong men stood at the front of the crowd. They were all the children who had participated in the Hunting Competition this time.
Looking at these men, the leader continued, "The rules of this Hunting Competition are the same as before."
"Every time a savage beast is killed, the fangs of the savage beast will be broken off or the beast skin will be left behind as proof."
"When we return, based on the number of fangs and fur, as well as the degree of terror of the savage beast, we will determine the strongest Braveheart of this hunt."
Pausing for a moment, the tribe leader's eyes revealed an indescribable expression. "Of course, if anyone has the strength to touch that cliff... To be able to retrieve a stalk of blood-colored algae from that cliff as proof, who... They will become the next tribe leader of our tribe. "
Hearing this, the tribe children all became excited.
Becoming the tribe leader was the dream of almost every tribe's son. The tribe leader was the most powerful person in the entire tribe.
To be able to become the tribe leader was a supreme honor.
However, while everyone was excited, the tribe leader said worriedly, "It would be great if we could reach that cliff. But... My son needs courage and his life. If he doesn't have that power... Remember, don't force your way forward. All of you can come back alive. That is what I want to see the most."
Hearing the chief's sincere and earnest words, the passionate and enthusiastic children of the tribe started to panic.
After all, almost everyone in the tribe knew that this hunt was extremely cruel. It was already good enough that twenty to thirty of the hundreds of men of the tribe could come back.
However, if the tribe wanted to reproduce for generations, they needed to fight against the savage beasts. They needed the courage to never admit defeat. Therefore, even though it was so cruel, the Hunting Competition was passed down from generation to generation.
After the tribe leader's words, everyone quickly embarked on the path of hunting.
Guu Feng was one of them.
Just looking at Guu Feng and then looking at the people around him made people laugh.
During the hunt this time, Guu Feng only brought a longbow and a long spear, and he wore ordinary animal skin clothes.
As for the people from other tribes, apart from longbows and spears, there were also all kinds of thick leather clothes and medicinal herbs that could stop injuries.
Some of them even wore leather clothes that looked round and round.
It was obvious that these people were extremely fearful of the savage beasts in the upper reaches.
It could be said that these people had mustered up a great deal of courage in this trip.
After walking out of the tribe, the number of plants and vegetation gradually increased.
Before long, the roars of savage beasts could be heard.
Everyone became even more vigilant as they tightened their grip on the spears in their hands.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Suddenly, a hissing sound was heard. In the grass beside a person's feet, a python that was thicker than an adult's thigh quickly crawled out.
This python bit down on that person's leg with a single bite.
That person hurriedly waved the spear in his hand and stabbed it into the python's body. However, it was already too late.
With a cracking sound, the sound of that person's leg bones breaking rang out. The deadly venom in the flower python's mouth was quickly injected into that person's body.
With a plop, the person fell to the ground.
Very soon, the wound on his leg began to turn dark. His whole body trembled and he fainted in a moment.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
After all, the distance between each person was several dozen zhang, and all of this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off a piece of flint. It was also very difficult to save him.
As they continued to move forward, the crowd also became more and more scattered. This also meant that when they encountered savage beasts, it would become more and more dangerous.0
At this moment, Akui, who was like a giant bear, patted his chest.
"All of you have seen it before. The further we go up the river, the more dangerous it will be."
"I think everyone knows the purpose of everyone participating in the Hunting Competition. You all know that not everyone can become the strongest Bravehearts of the tribe."
"Many of you have come here to obtain some precious beast meat and beast skin in the Hunting Competition, so that you can live a better life."
At this point, Akui revealed a proud smile. "Now, I, Akui, will give you all this opportunity."
"As long as you are willing to follow me, I, Akui, am willing to protect all of you. As for the prey I have hunted, I can trade it with you. All you need to do is give me the fangs or beast skin of your prey!"
