Chapter 20 The Stone Statue of the Beast God
It turns out that on the way back just now, Shana, who had long legs, was walking very fast because of his night vision ability. Su Yu was chasing after him, even if there was moonlight. I still couldn't see clearly on the road, so I didn't pay attention for a moment and tripped over a raised stone.
Fortunately, Su Yu reacted quickly and put her hands on the ground when she fell forward. Therefore, except for the skin on her palms being scratched by the gravel and bleeding a little, there were no other injuries.
Xia Na, who was walking in front with long strides, naturally did not miss the movement behind him. He was so frightened that he rushed to Su Yu in a few steps. Without saying a word, he hugged the person and ran into the cave.
Then, after putting the person on the wooden bed, I realized that the inside of the cave was worse than the outside, because at least there was moonlight outside!
Xia Na, who was so embarrassed that he wanted to scratch the ground, asked about Su Yu's situation in the dark. After learning that the skin on his palm was just abraded, he embarrassedly said sorry, and then asked her if she needed anything. How to deal with it.
Su Yu was often injured in the last days. She didn't care about the broken skin on her palms at all, and waved her hands so that Xia Na didn't need to mind.
Besides, she accidentally dropped it herself, so Shana didn't need to apologize.
Asking Xia Na to help, she filled a small wooden basin with some boiled warm water. Su Yu walked to the entrance of the cave and used the moonlight to clean the wound on her palm.
When the wound touches the water, there is a slight stinging sensation, but to Su Yu, it is like scratching an itch, and there is no big feeling.
After quickly rinsing the wound and washing away the dirt and sand embedded in the wound, Su Yu stood up and shook the water from her hands vigorously. After finishing, she turned back to the cave and went to sleep.
Lying in bed, Su Yu checked her points as usual. Yesterday's points had arrived, but because she had paid in advance, she only had 77 points left.
The points that have not been received are only a pitiful 8 points, 6 of which are from Su Yu's guidance of Mo Qing and Mo Feng to open a bathhouse and kitchen, and the remaining 2 points are from her discovery of shiitake mushrooms, and then Share the proceeds with Shana.
Looking at Ziying who was huddled in the corner of the space, Su Yu rarely got angry. Just looking at the pitiful few points on the panel, and then looking at the selling prices of the supplies, Su Yu sighed, resigned from the space, and went to sleep peacefully!
Early on the next morning, when Su Yu got up, Xia Na had already prepared all the meat dishes for breakfast: pieces of raw animal meat and red fruits of different sizes, one large and one full respectively. Two small wooden bowls.
Meat slices and red fruit slices of uneven thickness and sizes were also placed in two and a half bowls respectively. In addition, there were also sliced shiitake mushrooms and bitter fruits.
Everything, because it has been carefully cleaned, still has water beads on it, making people feel fond of it just looking at it.
"Why did you get up so early?" Su Yu took out a lighter and started to light it while talking.
"I thought your hand was injured, so I wanted to pack things first so that you can relax." Xia Na continued with some embarrassment: "But I didn't do it as well as Xiao Yu'er "
After Xia Na returned to the cave last night, he followed Mo Sang's example and called Su Yu Xiaoyu'er, so Su Yu was not surprised when he heard him call him like that now, and she just smiled. After saying "What makes perfect", he started to get busy.
Today, Xia Na followed Su Yu the whole time, and he rushed to do anything that needed to be touched. Su Yu naturally did not refuse. After all, it was very happy to have someone willing to take the initiative to share the housework.
After breakfast, Xia Na put away the dishes, chopsticks and stone pots, and then took Su Yu to the Fire God Cave.
When one person and one beast arrived, tribal chief Mo Sang and witch doctor Mo Yu had already arrived. The two beasts were sitting on the stone bed not far from the cave entrance, talking to Azu, who was guarding the fire.
I heard from Xana that Azu, the guardian of the fire in the Phaeton tribe, is two hundred and fifty years old this year. He has been guarding the fire for ten years.
In the beast world, the lifespan of an orc is generally around three hundred years old. The longest-lived orc in the history of the beast world lived to be nearly four hundred years old.
In most orc tribes, generally only orcs over 240 years old are called Azu. After entering the Fire God Cave, Su Yu realized that the cave was really big. On the inner cave wall not far from the entrance of the Vulcan Cave, another small hole measuring three to four square meters was opened, and the fire was stored in the small hole. Outside the small cave, there are a lot of dry firewood placed next to the cave wall.
Perhaps because the main cave of Vulcan Cave is very large, four pillars were retained in the cave to make the cave more stable. In the center of the four pillars stood a stone statue as tall as a male beast. Shana whispered to her that it was the stone statue of the beast god.
In front of the stone statue of the beast god, there was a long stone platform with some things placed on it. It was a bit far away and Su Yu could not see clearly, but he guessed that it was something related to the ceremony.
The three beasts in the cave stopped talking when they saw Su Yu and Xia Na arriving.
After getting up, when one person and one beast came up, Mo Sang introduced to Azu: "Azu, this is Su Yu." Then he turned to Su Yu and said: "Xiao Yu'er, this is Azu Duoyong."< br>
Hearing the words, Su Yu, as a junior, took the initiative to say hello with a smile: "Hello, Azu!"
When Azu heard the words, his wrinkled face showed gentleness, and his eyebrows were full of warmth. Looking at Su Yu with a smile, he said after a while: "What a beautiful little boy. Azu is very happy that you are willing to join the Phaeton Tribe. I hope the Phaeton Tribe will get better and better with you!"
Being a The elders praised her beauty, but Su Yu was still a little shy. She smiled sheepishly and nodded in agreement: "The tribe will definitely get better and better!"
After a while of greetings, Azu led everyone to the stone statue. forward.
Approaching the stone statue, Su Yu discovered that it was a stone statue with a human face and an animal body. Moreover, there were no eyes carved on the face of the stone statue.
Su Yu looked at it curiously for a long time, but in the end she didn't see what kind of animal it was.
On the stone platform in front of the stone statue, there is an animal skin. There are many dark red spots on the animal skin. On the edge of the animal skin, there was also a handful of thorn-like rattan.
Su Yu looked at everything in front of her curiously but calmly, just waiting for the ceremony to begin.
The ritual of joining the tribe is actually very simple.
First, Azu served as the "introducer" to introduce Su Yu to the Beast God. Then, in front of the stone statue of the Beast God, Azu asked Su Yu whether he voluntarily joined the tribe and whether he could advance and retreat with the tribe and live forever. Do not betray the tribe.
After the introduction and inquiry process, the witch doctor "pricked the blood" of Su Yu.
The witch doctor broke off a thick thorn from the rattan, wiped it gently with the animal skin, and then dropped the thorn with his hand. Blood oozed from the thumb of Su Yu's right hand. .
The witch doctor first held Su Yu's hand, walked to the stone statue in a few steps, squeezed out two or three drops of blood from his fingers, and dripped it on the base of the stone statue. Then he returned to the stone platform and asked Su Yu to press his thumb on the animal skin.
It was also at this time that Su Yu realized that the dark red spots on the animal skin came from this way.
After the "blood pricking" was completed, the ceremony was also completed. Except for Azu who still stayed in the Vulcan Cave to guard the fire, the others left separately.
