Chapter 162 Are you sure these are the things they worship?

This period is very special, and every tribe celebrates the joy of the autumn harvest.

But for the Qiuyu tribe, it is a double joy!

They got something new from the goddess!

The entire tribe formed several circles, lit bonfires, set up iron pots, and used the fat of the prey to make oil.

Next to them, the wild boar that had been cut into pieces and the fish that had been cleaned were being roasted on the fire.

When the barbecue is sizzling with oil, sprinkle various seasonings on it, and the aroma instantly fills the entire tribe.

The old people and children cried...

Si Xue was a little worried. She whispered to Si Yu, "Chief, our tribe has so many new members. We're already short on food. Can we survive the winter by squandering our food like this?"

Si Yu shook her head. "If you don't splurge, you won't be able to get through the winter."

Si Xue's face was solemn, "Then..."

"I've prayed to the goddess. In the winter, we'll go up the mountain together, dig for what she wants, and exchange it for food."

In addition, the goddess gave them warm clothes and seeds, so they could grow some vegetables in winter.

It shouldn't be too sad.

At the beginning, there were more than 900 of them, and they could only barely survive the winter after all the food was collected.

But there were no farm tools at that time, so it was impossible to collect all the crops.

From the most difficult times to the present, they relied on the support of the goddess. Now, she believed that the goddess would save them.

She would offer it devoutly.

By the next spring, they will be able to sow and harvest on their own and feed the entire tribe.

They also want to repay the goddess well...

Si Xue breathed a sigh of relief. "It's our blessing that the goddess is willing to look after us! Tomorrow I'll take people up the mountain and dig up what the goddess wants!"

Si Yu nodded and said, "Leave the best parts of the wild boar and the rabbit and offer them to the goddess."

Si Xue said solemnly, "Okay!"

That night, the Qiuyu tribe tasted food cooked in various ways, and the food was so delicious with those mysterious seasonings that it made them dizzy.

They each had a bowl.

If there are not enough bowls, use soup bowls instead.

They also tried to use chopsticks. Although they were clumsy, they knew it was the instruction of God, so they all used it very hard.

Then they discovered that using chopsticks does have benefits.

First, the food is no longer hot, and second, the food will not be contaminated with dirt.

The Qiuyu tribe was filled with sincerity and wanted to repay the goddess.

Si Yu practiced his skills hard and was finally satisfied with the meat he roasted. He planned to roast some to bring to the goddess tomorrow night.

However, unexpectedly, an accident happened——

After eating and drinking, everyone except those on duty went to rest.

During the night a violent storm came and extinguished all the campfires.

There was an eternal sacred fire in the tribe, which was well guarded. However, it was mysteriously extinguished that night.

The next day.

The Qiuyu tribe fell into a deathly silence, in stark contrast to the laughter and joy of last night.

Several middle-aged men on duty shouted in despair: "The gods have abandoned the Qiuyu tribe. The extinction of the fire is a bad omen. A tribe with impure blood will perish sooner or later..."

A cold light flashed in Si Yu and Si Xue's stern eyes, and they stepped forward separately, trying to subdue those people.

Unexpectedly, the other party was well prepared. A nimble thin man escaped Si Xue's arrest and ran out quickly.

"Chief, it's a success! The fire has been started!" Ji Shuo rushed over to report.

When they learned that the bonfire had gone out, they immediately started to make fire again by drilling wood.

I just didn't expect this to happen.

Ji Shuo looked at the figure running away, "That person..."

"Pay more attention to the situation in the tribe from now on. If you hear these voices speculating about gods again, you will be executed!" Si Yu said sternly.

Ji Shuo replied in a deep voice, "Yes!"

Most of the people who merged in treated the Qiuyu tribe as their own tribe and protected it with gratitude.

But there are still a small number of people who actually maintain contact with their mother tribe.

The Qiuyu tribe doesn't value blood ties, they do.

Among these newly merged people, there might be people with ulterior motives. He needs to catch them as soon as possible to avoid implicating other loyal people.

…

On the other side, the agile and thin man who ran out of the Qiuyu tribe went straight to the Lieri tribe.

That’s right, his name is Ji Sang, and he is indeed from the original Lie Ri tribe.

A few days ago, the elders of the Lie Ri tribe came to him and told him that Chief Ji Xuan was willing to give him a chance to return to the tribe.

I just need his help to do something——

First, find an opportunity to spread the word that the Qiuyu tribe has offended the gods and has been abandoned by the gods.

It was stormy last night, which was great timing.

Without thinking, he put out the fire with another companion.

Then, when everyone found out, they spread the word that "the tribe was abandoned by the gods."

Secondly, and most importantly...

"Are you sure these are the things they are worshipping?" Ji Xuan was incredulous.

Life?

Ganoderma lucidum?

And some useless roots and flowers?

The thin man trembled and added, "Last time, I saw they also offered a basket of fish..."

"Bang!"

The thin man was kicked out.

Ji Xuan looked at him with sharp eyes, filled with murderous intent.

"Really! Even though they did it secretly and didn't let the rest of the tribe know! But I noticed that every time they harvested something, they would go and dig these things up!"

"They have a special team that specializes in collecting this! That team is close to Chief Si Yu and doesn't interact with anyone else!"

"You asked me to find out how they communicate with the gods, but I can't find out! They don't trust anyone else and won't let me get involved in these things!"

“…”

The thin man quickly spoke up and poured out what he had learned.

He also didn't understand why the gods liked those strange things.

He could only hope that Chief Ji Xuan, to whom he trusted and was loyal, was omnipotent and could understand why.

Ji Xuan couldn't really figure it out, but if the gods liked it, there must be a reason for it...

"Si Dan, take three hundred people with you and go out to dig these things up immediately. Collect as many as you can!" It would be best not to leave any for them.

She wanted to see how they would worship the gods then.

If you stop offering sacrifices, you will be punished.

Furthermore, the gods have great powers.

You will know which tribe is the most powerful and deserves the most favor.

What they can offer is hundreds of times more than that bunch of trash!

"yes!"

Si Dan answered excitedly, and then asked, "Then Chief, do we catch fish too?"

Before Ji Xuan could say anything, the elder next to him slapped him in the face. "You idiot! You even dare to offend the guardian deity. Do you want to die?"

Si Dan's face was filled with indignation. Wasn't he thinking about the tribe?

But he caught a glimpse of Ji Xuan's angry face, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction silently and ran out quickly.

After he left, Ji Xuan instructed the thin man again, "You, spread the news that the Qiuyu tribe's fire has been extinguished. Let every tribe know!"

The thin man happily answered, "Yes!"

The chief has re-employed him, which means he must have really accepted him!

Within a day, the news that the Qiuyu tribe had angered the gods and the fire had gone out spread.

Each tribe had their own thoughts and came one after another...
