12dz Chapter 255 Sacrifice
Chapter 255 Sacrifice
Like many sacrificial activities, the opening of the celebration is always accompanied by a strong mythological color. Almost all the people who come to the Haihe tribe to participate in the celebration gather here. The huge bonfire on the tall altar fits the stereotype of sacrificial activities. The flames are stacked with many racks, and there are offerings beside them, including large prey, pottery jars, fruits, drinks or some liquids, and even...
Clean orc.
"What's going on? Why is it like this?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the naked orc. The only piece of cloth on his body was the animal skin covering his eyes. It was impossible to tell what expression was on his face. Lu Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong.
No way, it shouldn’t be what she imagined, right?
In ancient times, many things that could not be solved by phenomena were attributed to gods or supernatural phenomena. I don’t know who first proposed the terrible idea of human sacrifice. In short, some sacrificial activities would prepare boys and girls or girls from yin years and yin times...
Can sins be redeemed?
Lu Xiaoxiao's worldview suffered a huge impact.
Wu You was wearing a gorgeous feather robe and holding a scepter made of some kind of animal skull and bones. He went on stage to perform rituals and pray. He should have been speaking another language. In the absence of subtitles, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't understand a word.
She didn't need to understand anything at this moment, her mind was full of confusion.
"That's a sacrifice." The orc next to Yuchuan explained in a low voice, "I heard that it was a foreign orc who broke into their Haihe tribe and tried to abduct their females."
The Haihe tribe does have such a rule: females cannot leave the tribe without permission, and outsiders who maliciously break into the tribe will be killed if caught.
"We caught him in the act, so we can't deny it."
"Are they the orcs who came to participate in the grand celebration?" Yuchuan asked. He had never seen the orcs on the stage before.
"No, in fact, I heard that he had been captured for more than ten days. He was saved just to be used today."
Only then did Lu Xiaoxiao see that next to the naked orc was kneeling a naked female. She had her head lowered so that people could not see her clearly, but she gave people the feeling that she had no hope of survival and looked lifeless.
Isn't it so dull? This sacrifice doesn't sound like a good thing, and you can't even wear clothes.
The scene on the stage was impossible to ignore. Lu Xiaoxiao felt a chill in her heart: "Are you going to kill them?"
If she hadn't escaped at that time, she would probably have been the sacrifice.
"We won't kill females." The male did not say that he was caught when he escaped from the Haihe tribe. The female might be willing to die with the male. The future for this female is to be strictly guarded by the males of the Haihe tribe every day and forced to give birth to avoid wasting resources.
In the eyes of the people of the Haihe tribe, betrayed females and abducted females are just tools.
Because of this, it is impossible for the Haihe tribe to be cleared in everyone’s eyes.
The males felt very sorry for the fate of the fair-skinned and slender female, and it was inevitable that they wanted to escape. The Haihe tribe was not a good place, but she was just unlucky and chose a useless orc.
Lu Xiaoxiao's pupils shrank, and the situation on the field immediately changed wildly like a wild horse. She didn't know if Wu You's prayer had been finished, but more and more orcs were performing the shaman dance. They were in all kinds of shapes and colorful skirts, swaying on the altar, and the sounds of "oh oh, howling" resounded throughout the space.
Then, they suddenly moved in unison and lifted up the male whose eyes were covered and whose hands and feet were bound. With strange steps, they poured a bowl of water into him in front of everyone, shook it evenly, and sent him into the bonfire!
"Oh my...Oh my God!" Many females from other tribes had never seen such a scene before and exclaimed in surprise.
Almost instantly, the orc's figure was ignited by flames, without even a wailing sound.
In the already dark night, the flames were like the bloody mouth of a monster, silently devouring a living life.
All the viewers present had different expressions on their faces, some were excited, some were surprised, some were scared, some were confused,
Shock.
This scene of direct execution was also equivalent to the Haihe tribe’s deterrence to other tribes!
This was the first time Lu Xiaoxiao faced such a scene, and her mind stopped working at that moment.
terrible!
It's really terrible.
Suddenly, her eyes went dark and her vision was blocked by Yuchuan's hand.
"Don't be afraid." The other females of the Black Feather Tribe were frightened speechless by the scene in front of them. Their tribe had never had human sacrifices. They might have heard of it before, but had never faced it like this.
A living orc was burned to death in public for some strange reasons. This is completely different from the usual practice of their tribe!
That's what happens when your three views don't match.
The neighboring tribes were not much better. Some of them were weak and dared not cause trouble. Some of them killed other males decisively, but it was based on the severity of the situation. The Haihe tribe burned down without any reason, so who knew whether the reason was true or false?
Judging from the nature of the Haihe tribe, this male and female are most likely the two unlucky ones who have to take the blame!
Who made the chief of the Haihe tribe fall down yesterday and be late?
The female on the stage didn't even dare to look back. She closed her eyes, swallowed the bitterness in her mouth, and felt hopeless.
Just after the males sent the person into the fire, the males held her shoulders to prevent her from committing suicide. Everything that would happen next made her close her eyes with despair.
The male actually pressed her down in public... doing that kind of thing in front of everyone!
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the voice, she was so shocked that she was shivering with cold.
Even if orcs still retain animal habits and worship a primitive way of life, why do they humiliate, abuse or torture females in this way when they are persecuted?
"Mad." The females next to them trembled as they screamed, "Are you crazy? That's a female, how could you - "
The lively celebration ceremony continued without being affected by everyone's accusations. Amidst one dance and one song after another, the long night had just begun.
In the bay, the waves were surging. The noise in the distance made the orcs guarding the sea people on the beach feel dissatisfied. Someone cursed: "Just for them to be happy, we have to guard this place."
"Humph, they can eat delicious food and drink delicious drinks, but we can only drink sea water."
"What's so good about drinking sea water?"
The sea people in the bay were nervous and cautious, wondering if they would die tonight.
"Young Master..." If there is any danger, they will fight to the death to protect the Young Master.
"Stop talking." Young Master, Young Master, Young Master, they call him so many times all day long, wishing to tell the world that he is the young master of the sea clan, like a big pearl, are they afraid that he will not be exposed fast enough?
The young master of the sea clan, Lan Yi, rolled his eyes at the two of them and told them to shut up.
Fortunately, I didn't shout loudly, otherwise...
His eyes darkened and he secretly raised his underwater hand to the surface.
No one noticed that the "rope" around his neck had been untied by him.
