He felt that just waiting like this was not a solution. Why not go back to the headquarters and look through the long-sealed files? Maybe he could find some clues!

After finding the tribal leader and telling him his plan, he indeed seemed to be hesitant to talk.

"This is a powder that can drive away ferocious beasts."

Su He took out a pottery jar from his heavy bag, patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Just scatter some outside the sheepfold and cattle pen. Wait for me for a few days, I will come back as soon as possible."

.....................

The original plan was to go and come back quickly, but something happened the next day, forcing Suhe to stay in this tribe for a while longer.

An old man was working and suddenly collapsed.

When Su He arrived, he had already died.

The Shaman had no good solution for this matter and could only hold a sky burial for him according to the procedure.

The so-called sky burial is to carry the body of the dead person to a designated location and let vultures (or other birds and animals) eat its skin.

This perfectly embodies the two concepts of Shamanism - the immortality of the soul and reincarnation.

"It would be very rude not to participate in the sky burial. Just don't look at the corpse later." Su He whispered to Tangtang.

"It's okay. Tangtang has seen many, many corpses. She won't be scared."

Su He was stunned for a moment but didn't say much. He found the old man's children and prepared to deal with the funeral arrangements.

"This damn weather!"

"Three elders have passed away in just fifteen days. Great Spirit Master, please bless them to rest in peace."

Su He was now very sensitive to "three" or multiples of "three". Upon hearing this, he immediately asked about the time when the other two old men passed away.

One died on the third day before the weather got hot, and the other died on the day when the weather got hot.

Moreover, on the night when the two old people passed away, an "invisible" blood-sucking monster attacked the cattle and sheep!

Chapter 169 Blood Eagle

Put on clean and tidy clothes and wear a wreath on your head.

A blanket was spread on the soft grass and the old man lay quietly on it, surrounded by a circle of family members who were saying their final goodbyes to him.

"Once his body is devoured, his spirit will be liberated."

A little further away, Su He was actively instilling the idea of ​​shamanism into the little girl: "Death is not the end, but the beginning of another reincarnation, so everyone should not be overly sad."

"After reincarnation, the old man turned into a baby?" Tangtang looked surprised.

"You may be a human in this life, but not necessarily in the next. You may be a cow, a horse, or any other creature on the grassland."

"Oh!" The little girl nodded and asked, "Is it possible that the old man's spirit will be reincarnated into another country?"

"No way," Su He explained, "The grassland spirit will only reincarnate in the grassland and will not run to other places."

After the elderly man's family members had said their goodbyes and entered the [Watching] phase, the two stopped talking.

While watching silently, Su He soon noticed something unusual.

The weather is hot and humid now, so the corpses will decay faster.

But even if there are such external factors, the stench of a corpse would not be emitted in such a short time.

Su He raised his eyes and vaguely saw a few black spots flying towards him. The vultures smelled the stench of decay and could not wait to have a feast.

"It was so fast, the whole sky burial ceremony seemed to be accelerated."

Adjusting his magic hat, Su He became extremely alert.

Several vultures circled over the old man's body and were about to fly down to eat, but at this moment, something strange happened!

With a fierce cry, a red-feathered young eagle flew over from a distance like lightning.

With a fierce peck and a scratch, it ripped open the belly of a vulture that was several times larger than itself.

With a wail, the vulture fell on the old man, flapped its wings a few times and could no longer move.

.......................

Although the young red-feathered eagle is small in size, it is extremely ferocious.

In just a few breaths, all the vultures were pecked to death by it.

"It was the same the last two times?"

No longer bothering to remain silent, Su He asked in a low voice to the tribal leader beside him.

"Yes, there were two previous incidents of young eagles fighting with vultures for food, but the feathers of the young eagles at that time were not red."

Stealing food? But it was hovering in the air, with no intention of landing.

Is it because this is the [third] sky burial, so something special will happen this time?

As Su He was thinking about it, an extremely strong stench wafted over.

Forcing himself to suppress the urge to vomit, he took a few steps back with a grim face.

"vomit--"

Suhe, Tangtang and the tribal leader held back, but the old man's children couldn't.

They fell to the ground, almost vomiting bile.

"Was it the same the first two times?" Su He asked with a frown.

"No, it wasn't this smelly the first two times! Strange, why is it so smelly?"

Talking during the "Watching" segment is already breaking the rules, but as a child, vomiting next to the old man's body is even more disrespectful.

The ceremony could no longer proceed, so Su He immediately announced the early end of the [Watch] and asked everyone to go home.

"Uncle, aren't you going back?"

After Tangtang walked back a few steps with the crowd, she turned around and asked Suhe.

"As a shaman, I have an obligation to stay a little longer."

Su He waved to the little girl and said, "You go back first. I'll go back later."

..........................

"The stench of the corpse has spread completely, and wild animals should be coming one after another."

But for some reason, the stench of the corpse attracted no birds at all.

boom--

Another vulture fell from the sky, fluttering on the old man's body for a moment and then stopped moving.

What was different from before was that this vulture successfully pecked off several feathers of the red-feathered young eagle when fighting with it.

Su He carefully picked up a red feather, rubbing it with his hands while quickly muttering words of prayer.

Fragmentary images emerged in the man's eyes. He saw a young eagle pecked to death a dozen, or eleven to be exact, birds, and then crawled into the old man's body.

With such a small body, it was incredible that it could completely devour an entire corpse.

After eating the human corpse, it slowly ate the eleven birds around it and then flew towards the tribe.

In the dark night, the young eagle just circled over the cowshed and sheepfold once, and thirty-three cows and thirty-three sheep fell to the ground.

It turns out that the 'unknown beast', the 'invisible blood-sucking monster' is it!

No wonder it couldn’t be seen. In the middle of the night, who would notice the young eagle circling in the sky for a while and then leaving?

After sucking the blood of cattle and sheep in an incomprehensible way, the young eagle's feathers turned red. This was the last scene Suhe could see.

'After devouring twelve corpses, he gained a strange blood-sucking ability, and after sucking the blood of sixty-six cows and sheep, he turned into Akabane.'

"But the horrific ritual is still going on. What kind of monster will be born from this third sky burial?"

Su He's forehead was covered in sweat, not because of the heat, but because of fear!

The more complicated and bizarre the ritual, the more disastrous the consequences will be if it succeeds.

Su He didn't know what kind of mysterious force was controlling the ceremony, but he couldn't let it go on like this!

He bit his fingertips and drew a symbol representing concealment in shamanism on the god's hat and his own forehead.

Then Su He took off his god's hat and threw it towards the red-feathered young eagle in the sky.

The young eagle is extremely fast, so it can definitely dodge if it wants to.

But it seemed as if it could not see the divine hat slowly floating towards it, and was hit hard by surprise.

........................

With a shrill cry, the red-feathered young eagle fell on the old man's body.

It looked around ferociously, but could not see where its enemy was.

The magic hat spun in the sky and hit the red-feathered young eagle on the head again.

click -

The young eagle's neck was broken 150 degrees and it fell on the blanket, motionless.

"call"

Waving towards the divine hat, Su He breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as he showed a look of relief, he heard a familiar roar.

I suddenly raised my head and saw another red-feathered young eagle flying towards me from afar.

At this time, the concealment technique had failed. Seeing Su He, the person who destroyed the ceremony, the young eagle flapped its wings at him.

Su He's face turned pale in an instant, and he sat down on the ground dizzy.

This is a symptom of excessive blood loss. If the Red Feathered Young Eagle flaps its wings, even the Divine Hat Shaman will lose half his life.

Chapter 170 Self-contained system

With a ferocious cry, the young eagle flapped its wings repeatedly at Suhe.

Fortunately, the magic hat returned to its owner's head in time, otherwise Suhe would have become a shriveled shaman like those cattle and sheep.

Seeing that the young red-feathered eagle was determined to not give up until it achieved its goal, Su He's mind raced and he fell to the ground with a cry.

"..."

do you died?

But his blood hasn't dried yet.

After circling in the sky for a while, the red-feathered young eagle carefully approached the man on the ground, then pecked him lightly on the back of his hand and flew away like lightning.

Blood was gushing out from the back of his hand, and the man lay motionless as if dead.

The red-feathered young eagle approached again, and when it was excitedly about to rip open the Divine Hat Shaman's stomach, the latter suddenly hit it with a bone stick.

boom--

The bone stick was very heavy, and Su He gave it his all at the critical moment of life and death.

The young eagle's head exploded when it was hit, and it died without even a sound.

"You stupid thing, you still want to eat me? Grow more brains in your next life!"

Su He laughed loudly, then sat down on the ground again.

After groping in his arms for a while, the shaman trembled and took out a porcelain bottle. He bit off the stopper and poured all the blood-generating and qi-replenishing pills into his mouth.

Chew chew chew.

"Crack, crack"

Swallow.

"gollum"

No, who else is eating besides me? !

Su He looked around in shock. When he saw the dead old man tearing apart the body of the crooked-necked young eagle, a chill suddenly spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
