Reincarnated Bamboo Rat Starts Extreme Survival

Chapter 270 The Sacrifice Ceremony of the Snow Monster
Compared with the Black Rock Dwarves, who have a clear social division of labor, the whole clan can speak a common language, and have inherited casting techniques for a long time, the situation of the Yeti clan is much worse.

Wendigo is a large humanoid creature with long white hair all over its body. Under normal circumstances, an adult Wendigo can reach a height of about two and a half meters. Their feet are extremely huge, similar to the feet of primates such as orangutans. .

This group of snow monsters that look similar to snowman zombies are different from the black rock dwarves who wander on the edge of human society but have always maintained communication with humans. They are truly living outside of civilization, with only a few special caravans and those who go deep into the Winter Thorn Mountains. Adventurers everywhere can see their traces.

Even for a long time, the snow monsters were considered by various city-states in the southwest to be beasts rather than intelligent races.

"Goo-chi-coo-coo-coo!"

"Hiss... I didn't expect that I would encounter a language barrier now."

Arriving at a snow monster settlement deep in the Winter Thorn Mountains, Bell communicated with the snow monsters here. Since the snow monsters who knew Common Language had already led the team to work in Chishui City, the remaining group of snow monsters now spoke. Bell would have to turn into a sweaty bean rat.

It's also a credit to Bell that he can communicate directly through mental power, otherwise he would also have to hit a wall with the snow monster.

However, the lack of information from the outside world does not mean that there is no communication within the snow monster group. After Bell's inquiry, he found that these snow monsters are divided into different tribes, occupying different areas deep in the Winter Thorn Mountains.

Under normal circumstances, a Yeti tribe will own more than four hills, which serve as hunting grounds for their tribe. This kind of hunting ground cannot be accessed by other Wendi tribes.

Because of the harsh environment of the Winter Thorn Mountains and the strong sense of territoriality among the Yeti tribes, the Wendigos generally lack communication, and social development is also in a state of stagnation for a long time.

The snow monsters usually only think about how to fill their stomachs. After filling their stomachs, the snow monsters will enter a state of empty brains. Sometimes the snow monsters will empty their minds for a long time and directly enter a state of collective hibernation. The entire race The difference between their behavior patterns and those of wild beasts is actually not very big.

Of course, the snow monsters are not always in this state. In the summer and autumn when supplies are abundant, the snow monsters will also build some camps in the Winterthorn Mountains, build some cellars for storing meat, or some living facilities to show their Still an intelligent race.

The main theme is that a primitive man is also a human being, and a primitive tribe is also a kind of civilization.

If there is anything that can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the snow monsters and allow these tribes of snow monsters to communicate with each other, it is only when the snow monsters enter the breeding assembly.

Under normal circumstances, when there are enough female snow monsters suitable for reproduction in a snow monster tribe, that snow monster tribe will become extremely active and pass the news to other snow monster tribes at an alarming speed.

At this time, young talents from different snow monster tribes will rush to this snow monster tribe for love and start to compete for positions.

The snow monsters will reveal themselves in front of the opposite sex, and the tribe of snow monsters seeking marriage will also throw out challenges to test the true level of these young talents.

These challenges may be the wrestling among the snow monsters, or it may be asking the snow monsters to hunt some dangerous animals, or it may be to compare which snow monster has the highest dance level...

No matter what the courtship process is like, the snow monster that successfully courtes will eventually embrace the beauty and return to its own tribe.

Although snow monsters look similar to the behavioral patterns of wild beasts, they have strict monogamy. Once they choose a spouse, they will never empathize for life. This is better than many people who promise to love only one person for life and then turn around and run into the romantic place. Intelligent race individuals are much stronger.

However, it is not easy to get a mate among the Yeti. The ratio of men to women is four to one, so the weak within the Yeti family will never be able to taste the taste of love for the rest of their lives.

Originally there were eleven tribes of snow monsters in the Winterthorn Mountains, but after the [Lord of the Underworld] dragged away the things related to the Time Sequence Research Association in this world, several peaks belonging to the snow monsters disappeared, which not only reduced the number of snow monsters The tribe's hunting grounds also reduced the number of snow monster tribes from eleven to seven.

The snow monster that lost its hunting ground had to move its activity area outwards. This move brought it into contact with the Black Rock Dwarves and the humans who were living outside the Winterthorn Mountains, so that various small frictions continued during this period.

But the real serious struggle is still within the Yeti tribe.

The eleven snow monster tribes have become seven, but it does not mean that the disappeared snow monster tribes, from top to bottom, men, women, old and young, disappeared all at once. Many snow monsters lost their tribes all at once. Became a wandering snow monster.

It is difficult for these wandering snow monsters to be accepted by other snow monster tribes. After all, there are only so many survival resources. Accepting these foreign snow monsters will double the consumption of their own tribe.

Before Chishui City took away some of the Yeti monsters for work-for-work relief, there were several rounds of bloody conflicts among the Wendigos.

The labor work in Chishui City is actually a kind of salvation for the snow monsters, especially for those homeless snow monsters.

"Can you show me your sacrificial ceremony?"

Under normal circumstances, Bell would not be interested in the Yeti race. Their civilization is not developed, and their individual strength cannot be regarded as an indispensable strategic resource.

The only thing that attracted Bell to the Dongshan Mountains was the strange power he felt when he was exercising in the Chiguang University Square.

The snow monsters performed a ritual and transformed into an energy similar to the power of faith. The energy before was very small, but it quietly rippled the fragments of divine power in Bell's dream.

Bell asked the snow monster workers in Chishui City and learned that the ritual they performed before was a sacrificial ritual.

However, the snow monsters' descriptions of the sacrificial rituals were fragmented, and they all indicated that there would be more information about the rituals after arriving in the Winterthorn Mountains.

Sure enough, after hearing Bell's request, the chief of the Yeti tribe told Bell everything he knew, and even led the entire tribe of Yeti monsters to conduct a field demonstration so that Bell could experience what the Yeti clan's sacrificial rituals were. Kind of.

The reason why the Yeti tribe received such a high standard of reception was that when Bell came to the Winter Thorn Mountains, he packed a lot of living supplies in his inventory, most of which were dried meat and fruits and vegetables. As soon as he took these things out, he The Yeti tribe regards Bell as their savior.

The second reason is because Bell looks very similar to the legendary savior of the Yeti clan.

In the legend of the Yeti clan, they were not originally a native race in this world, but intelligent creatures that migrated from other worlds.

The world where the snow monsters originally lived should have been a unique plateau area. The environment and material levels there were similar to those of the current Dongshan Mountains. It was a barren area where development was difficult.But after countless years of hard work in that world, the Yeti clan actually established a civilization in such a resource-poor place, and the level of civilization was relatively high.

According to the legends of the Yeti clan, they can use light to turn stones into powder and use the powder to shape mountain-like castles. They can also fertilize the soil and grow a large number of crops.

It is a pity that the world that is the home of the Yeti has fallen into a long eternal winter. From the perspective of the Wendigo's perception, that world is dead. Their civilization is already limited by the amount of resources and is a shaky and simple house. Now The earthen house of civilization quickly collapsed under the changes in the world.

The snow monsters don't know how long the eternal winter has passed. They only know that the fortress belonging to the snow monsters has collapsed, and they do not have the ability to use light and heat.

According to normal circumstances, the snow monsters should have died with the world.

But suddenly one day, a big pit opened up in the ground, and a warm breath came from the pit, bringing life to a large area. It became a refuge for the few remaining snow monsters.

The reason why the big pit appears is because of a giant beast, which is called the savior by the snow monsters.

In the legend of the snow monster, this giant beast is extremely huge and white. It can move clouds and tear the earth apart. Wherever it passes, there will be warm wind blowing, and there will be a scene of glowing rays in the sky.

Relying on this giant beast to continuously dig up the surface of the earth and bring the high temperature underground to the surface, the snow monster family has continued in that world for countless years.

In the process of chasing the giant beast, the snow monsters slowly developed a method of offering sacrifices to the giant beast. Through the sacrifice rituals of the snow monsters, they can appease the advancing giant beast and at the same time make the giant beast feel happy.

The snow monsters don't know why this kind of sacrifice works. They only know that the giant beast enjoys this kind of sacrifice.

But Bell, who has experienced the Yeti sacrifice ceremony, knows why this sacrifice ceremony makes the giant beast feel happy, because it is an extremely simple and simple method of faith sacrifice, and it is the most primitive method of becoming a god.

This kind of sacrifice has no specific conceptual meaning and no additional means of cohesion. It just brings a group of people together and throws a mess of chaotic thoughts directly around.

Although it cannot condense the pure power of faith and the concept of divine power, it can subtly affect the state of the person who receives the prayer, making it stronger.

This is the initial manifestation of faith injected into the body, the most intuitive and simple way to become stronger.

But if the power of faith is not pure enough and is not restrained by the concept of divine right, these powers of faith will distort the body and soul of the bearer after they accumulate for a long enough time.

Becoming stronger is not a simple matter. When this distortion deepens, the bearer will turn into a deformed and powerful monster, and may even turn into a more extreme existence - [god and monster].

Bell, who had participated in the great event of Red Light becoming a god and was a branch of the giant tree of faith, knew that the prerequisite for holding a complete faith ceremony is that believers must devoutly believe in the same concept and be united as one to put this belief into practice. Expand beyond the rules of the real world.

The four words 'sincerity leads to spirit' are easy to say, but extremely difficult to really do.

It's not like Bell has never thought about re-engraving the red light into a god, linking the people of the city together with [Military Force Condensation], and praying devoutly for a specific concept.

But he can no longer do it. This thing belongs to a special situation where the right time, place and people have to be coordinated. There is no Red Light God as his backing, no external demon threat, and no people in the city have any understanding of the concept of Red Light God. Basic understanding, without the particularity of the Red Light God itself, how can an individual cross the mythical barrier?

The sacrifice methods of the snow monsters are very primitive, which is not unusual for Bell. He has a more complete method of becoming a god, so naturally he will not have too many thoughts about primitive sacrifices.

The only thing Bell was interested in was the giant beast described in the stories about the Yeti race.

In the legends of the wendigos, the world eventually dies, and all the heat beneath the ground disappears, and even the white behemoths can no longer dig out sources of heat from the ground.

One day, the white giant beast came in front of the snow monster family. It leaned down and let the snow monsters live on its back. The world was also constantly shattering during this period. It was a doomsday-like scene.

Surviving on the back of the white giant beast allowed the snow monster family to avoid the disaster of destroying the world.

After everything collapsed, the white giant beast put the snow monsters off its back, and they came to a new world where the mountains were undulating and covered with thin snow. Under the influence of the four seasons, the life here also rotated. Live endlessly.

This period is when the snow monsters appear in the Winterthorn Mountains.

For the snow monster clan who have experienced the death of the world, the environment in the Winterthorn Mountains cannot be considered harsh. This is simply a paradise.

After putting down the snow monster, the white giant beast lived with the snow monster clan for a long time, but one day, the white giant beast left the snow monster clan and walked further west towards the Winter Thorn Mountains.

Some of the wendigos followed, but most of the wendigos stayed, eventually forming different wendigo tribes in the Winterthorn Mountains.

Since the history of the snow monsters is passed down by word of mouth and the murals on some walls, Bell really has no way of knowing exactly how many years ago these things happened and how many things happened in between.

He looked at the murals of the snow monsters and found that the snow monsters depicted a white, round giant beast. Bell speculated that this giant beast was still active in the Winterthorn Mountains about 2000 years ago.

"A big guy who has probably absorbed a lot of messy power of faith over a long period of time. God knows what the current situation of this big guy is. He may have died of normal old age, or he may have been turned into a twisted form by the messy power of faith. Creation, it is also possible that this guy tried to ascend to the gods, but ultimately failed and became a god and monster..."

This white giant beast that brought the snow monster into the world aroused Bell's imagination.

Of course, Bell has never considered the outcome of this white giant beast becoming a god. There is no possibility of that, but judging from the abstract sacrificial method of the Yeti clan, it is indeed impossible to succeed.
