Chapter 440 (1/2)

Ten days later.

The first snow came.

Goose feather like snowflakes whirled and fluttered between heaven and earth, gently falling on the dark blue lake, and falling on the zuwu stone statue one by one.

In the wind and snow, the towering stone statue is still motionless, deep and kind eyes look straight ahead.

And the place where zuwu stone statue's eyes cast is just the lakeshore.

At this time, the lakeside was more lively than ever before. All the tribes in Xi City walked out of the stone houses, and tens of thousands of people gathered in the open space in a dark way. It seemed that the sea of people was very busy.

At the center of the crowd, there are more than 100 giant drums for sacrifice.

Each side of the drum is exquisitely made. The head of a ferocious beast is hung on the drum body. The diameter of the drum surface is more than two meters, which is enough for an adult to lie on.

At this time, more than 100 giant drums were put together, covering an area of nearly one mu, which looked quite spectacular.

The soldiers in charge of drumming stood in the huge drum array. They threw their thick fur coats, stood in the snow with bare arms, and held huge white bone drumsticks in their hands. They pounded the air to review the movements and made preparations.

In the crowd.

Ye Xi put on a pure white linen robe and stood in the cold wind with his ancestor wizard's bone staff, smiling and talking to each other.

The aphid witch beside him was also wearing a white linen robe.

However, he was not as frost resistant as ye Xi. At this time, his body bent and trembled slightly: ”it's cold. When I was in the Heiji mountains, it was not so cold on the day of the great sacrifice...”

”There's still time. Why don't you add a fur coat?” Ye Xi proposed.

When the witch heard the words, she immediately straightened up her chest, and her face was resolute: ”no, you don't need to add it. I can still persist in this time.”

Ye Xi couldn't help laughing.

In the special day of the great sacrifice, everyone wants to show his best side, including witches. So almost every wizard puts on a white robe and stands in the wind and snow with sleeves fluttering, even if the teeth fight with cold in the dark.

He cast his eyes on the crowd around him.

Everywhere you can see, they are the people who are dressed up ceremoniously.

They took off their old furs and put on the best clothes they usually couldn't bear to wear. Some wore braids on their heads, some beastly beads in their hair, some wore exaggerated and ferocious ornaments on their heads, necks, ankles and wrists.

He saw the broken feather not far away.

Duanling was naked, with a leopard skin around his waist, a huge ferocious beast skull hanging from his neck, and a pair of curved horns nearly half a meter high on his head, and his whole body was covered with bright oil paint.

”Witch!”

Duan Ling noticed Ye Xi's eyes and came to see the ceremony happily.

Ye Xi nodded with a smile. When he saw the ice covered in duanling's hair, he could not help helping him clean it.

Duanling was flattered and embarrassed to explain: ”I went into the lake to wash in the morning, and it became like this...”

”I know, I saw a lot of people go into the lake to wash before dawn.”

Everyone wanted to show the most clean and decent side in the grand sacrifice, so they all cleaned them carefully last night. Some people didn't think they were clean enough, so they went to the cold lake to wash again before dawn.

Many people are like broken feathers, their hair is full of ice, and their cheeks are flushed and cracked.

In fact, although people usually care about the grand sacrifice, they don't care about it. Today is the first joint sacrifice, so people are especially anxious about it Even the war animals were cleaned by them, and their feathers and hooves were spotless.

After a meeting, the white turtle wizard came to Ye Xi.

The white tortoise was solemn and solemn, but there was an excited flame in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, ”master Xi, it's almost time.”

Ye Xi immediately looked up at the sky.

Others can only see the snow in succession, but the witches can see the end of the sky. There is a majestic dark green energy pouring to the ground like a river of heaven. This scene is magnificent and shocking.

Ye Xi took back his sight, nodded to the white tortoise wizard, then turned around and announced in a loud voice in the eyes of all the people looking forward to,

”great sacrifice, start --!”
