Chapter 37 (1/2)
A month later.
When the sun was still struggling on the horizon, the whole tribe of Tushan gathered in the open space.
Today is the annual trial and assessment day for reserve soldiers.
The atmosphere was solemn.
All the people were in a dark circle. No one spoke. They were so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
In the center of the crowd stood the dignified chieftains and witches, and in front of them stood the examiners.
The chief's eyes slowly swept past the ten men in front of him.
The front nine experimenters are tall as iron towers, their muscles are exaggerated to bulge, and they are full of strength at a glance.
At the end of the sweep, the chief's forehead gave a slight jump.
A thin and white boy, completely different from the experimenter, stood there quietly.
The young boy, ye Xi, caught the change of the chief's expression and blinked his eyes slowly.
The chief was always against Ye Xi becoming a soldier. Until the eve of the examination, the chief still tried to persuade him not to take part in the trial.
Because once you become a soldier, you have to join the hunting team, and as long as you join the hunting team, you may get injured or even die in the hunting.
In any way, the chief didn't want Ye Xi to be in trouble.
However, ye Xi had made up his mind and let the chief talk about it, but he still took part in the trial.
After the chief glanced at them again, his eyes suddenly sighed, and he said to the experimenter word by word: ”as you all know, soldiers are the root of the tribe. A tribe without soldiers can't survive in the jungle!”
His voice was deep and powerful: ”if you want to be a real soldier, you must pass the test first. Only by passing the test can you prove yourself. You have the qualification to be a soldier! The tribe can give you the precious fierce beast's core, and let you transform into real soldiers
”And all of you have passed the strength and speed test, and you are only one step away from becoming real reserve soldiers!”
”It's only one step away now!”
The chief was so excited that he pointed to the forest in the distance and roared, ”that's to go into the jungle and hunt a prey in the dangerous jungle!”
”Is the jungle dangerous? DANGER! But the real soldier is not afraid of danger! The true warrior, he is fearless
”Promise me, you must try your best to bring the fierce prey back to the tribe from the jungle, and then tell us, tell Tushan that you will be a qualified soldier in the future!”
Whoa!
The whole tribe was agitated by this impassioned remark.
In particular, the other nine experimenters raised their fists with red faces and roared with blue veins on their necks.
Ye Xi's heart pounded violently. Although he could not roar out excitedly, his heart was also surging.
The chief waited for the tide to pass and waved to the rear of the crowd.
A soldier came up with a jar carefully in his hand.
Now, the one who has come up to the pot is to draw the bone plate of your hands
Ten people came forward in turn and took out a dominoes from the pot.
After ten people got their own dominoes, the wizard who had not spoken suddenly leaned on the ground with a bone stick.
The sound of bone stick hammering on the ground is very light.
However, it is this slight sound that makes the whole tribe become silent. Even the breath is not obvious. It is almost audible to drop the needle.
The witch nodded with satisfaction. His eyes closed slowly. After a pause, he suddenly recited aloud. Between the opening and closing of the lips, a series of mysterious and astringent words are constantly spitting out in a strange rhythm.
Looking at Wu's thin cheek, ye Xi felt a kind of inexplicable feeling in his heart.
With the witch's recitation, this strange syllable seems to resonate with the air, no, something similar to space. Then ye Xi felt his body more and more light, more and more abundant strength, and his whole body state almost reached his peak.
After chanting the song, Wu suddenly opened his eyes. The white light in his eyes flashed away like Epiphyllum.
”Bless you, children.” The voice of the witch is old and slow.
Blessing? Is this the power of Zhuwu? Ye Xi felt the surging strength of his body, and his eyes were full of splendor.
