There is no horn, no flag, no gongs and drums.

There are only the most primitive and unrestrained dances and enthusiastic shouts.

Around the huge bonfire that was lit, more than a dozen young women were kneeling on the ground, holding various wild fruits, jerky meat, animal skins, pottery, etc. in their hands and worshiping the sky.

Hundreds of men wearing furs were painted with oil paints, holding stone knives, stone axes, spears, and sticks around the bonfire and dancing around the women.

The witch was wearing the animal skin that was mopping the floor, holding a crutch taller than a man in her hand, and carrying the patriarchs of six tribes. In the midst of warm cheers and dances, she sang songs that she couldn't understand at all to the distant mountains and valleys.

This is a mysterious spell from ancient heritage, with a completely different system than the language of daily speaking, and only witches can learn and use it.

The function is to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and pray that the gods can bless the tribe's people with health and safety, and obtain enough food and wild animals to survive.

Master Wu, Xu Chen, has now gradually understood that it should actually be called Wu Zhu, an ancient inheritance ceremony, praying to the gods and blessings to mankind.

This kind of blessing is not effective and other words, but it is an indispensable activity for the human race in the primitive and wilderness era to understand the nature of the world.

Witch is a special group that gradually emerges in the struggle against the harsh living environment.

They have the wisdom to transcend ethnic groups and can judge and analyze the impacts of astronomical phenomena, climate, year, month, time and other various on production and life through some natural phenomena, so as to guide tribes to collect and hunt, harvest in autumn and store in winter, and drive away diseases.

For all primitive humans who do not understand the structure of heaven and earth and the natural changes, all natural phenomena are related to God, and some accidental events are considered to be God's instructions.

Therefore, through some activities, we offer to the gods to gain and show our strength, so as to pray for the gods' recognition and care.

God is a natural worship that arises in the long evolution of human beings.

Witch is the bridge of communication between God and mankind.

And rituals are an important way for witches to communicate with gods.

The ceremony was extremely grand, with hundreds of people dancing around the fire together, and the sound of hohohahaha was neat and rhythmic, resounding throughout the valley.

Looking at these extremely excited primitive savages.

Xu Chen was mixed with her skin twitching and felt that the trip was worth it.

This is much more lively than the primitive bonfire performances of those tourist attractions in Yunnan and Guizhou. It is completely authentic primitive sings and dances, and it is the oldest and most authentic one.

This grand witch ceremony was held for more than an hour before it was announced to end. Next is the highlight of this witch ceremony, the tribal hunting competition.

The hunting ground is on the vast and huge impact plain outside the valley.

Led by the leader of the tribe, hundreds of people surrounded the great witch and walked out of the valley.

At this time, a red sun had risen high, shining on the earth from the east of the lower reaches of the river.

A small river winds for several miles on the vast plain and finally flows into the rushing river.

Flocks of wild beasts are foraging on the river beach, and the undulating birds are flying and playing on the river beach. In the clear sky, there are eagles circling with wings. In the mountains, the roars of wild beasts occasionally come.

In the early morning sun, the two rivers rippled like golden light, reflecting the rolling mountains and vast river beaches around, and the scene looked extremely magnificent.

Hundreds of the youngest and most powerful hunters selected by the six tribes are ready to go.

Everyone's faces were covered with oil paint, and they were nervous and excited with their weapons.

The most eye-catching of them is the Ba tribe hunters, with the smallest number of people, only six, but their clothes are unique, with linen clothes and a piece of rattan armor on their upper body. They are not holding spears, but bows and arrows.

"Wuga!"

After stopping in the open space at the entrance of the valley, the witch raised the wooden stick in her hand and sent a signal that the hunting began.

"Wuga~~"

A group of hunters who could not wait rushed out.

The men, women, young and old watching also cheered.

Amid the howling of ghosts and wolves, the overwhelming flock of birds on the river beach hovered in the air, and countless little beasts ran and fled among the thorns and weeds. The tranquility on the river beach instantly turned into a bustle and panic.

More than one hundred hunters were already a very powerful force for the primitive tribe, which had only a few hundred people in total, but after being scattered on this vast wasteland, they were sparse and even lost in sight after being scattered in the blink of an eye.

Most of this large river beach is covered with weeds at least half a human deep, and there are many forests. Therefore, it looks spectacular from a distance, but in fact, after entering it, it is like a maze.

At this time, under the influence of the frightened birds, the flocks of beasts near the valley entrance began to be shocked.

Some of the large beasts may have seen humans and began to move to the foraging grounds in a hurry to the distance. So when standing at a high place, you can see groups of beasts starting to flow like quicksand.

Xu Chen is not clear about the criteria for judging hunting competitions, but it is speculated that it is related to two elements, one is quality and the other is quantity.

The mass is definitely the type of beast, its ferociousness and size.

The number depends on the amount of hunting.

As for the bravest warrior, he must be the hunter who has the greatest trauma to the beast. If he can kill the tiger and leopard in such a competition, he will definitely win the first place.

Although Xu Chen has great confidence in the lethality of bows and arrows.

But in fact, when the number of people is extremely unrivaled, the Ba people are not sure of winning.

He has already seen the power of throwing spears in the Ba tribe. Feng has the strongest arm strength, but he can easily throw a spear of seven or eight kilograms out for nearly a hundred meters.

The lethality of spear throwing is far greater than that of bows and arrows. As long as it is hit, small beasts like wild sheep and deer will lose their ability to escape on the spot and may even be killed in one blow. Large beasts like wild boars, bisons, wild deer and wild horses will almost never escape death as long as they are injured.

However, there is one of the biggest weaknesses in spear throwing, that is, the hit rate is extremely low.

This parabolic throwing judges the distance very strictly. The longer the throwing distance, the lower the hit rate. To hit a beast a hundred meters away, even a large beast like a bison horse requires great luck.

Because even if the hunter has good accuracy, the animals have legs and move at all times, it is conceivable that the difficulty of hunting sports targets in movement is to consider not only the distance, but also the direction and speed of the prey.

Another biggest flaw is the number of attacks.

This kind of spear is usually only one. If it is too much, it will seriously affect the running speed. Once the spear is thrown out, it can only stare at the attack of its companions.

Therefore, from discovering prey to launching an attack, in addition to speed and power, the dispersed cooperation of the tribes is also required. Hunting is the only way to deal with large wild beasts and beasts.

In other words, it depends entirely on people.

Although bows and arrows are relatively less lethal than spears, they are easy and portable. A person can carry dozens of arrows and launch attacks one after another during pursuit. As long as they hit the target in one go, the actions of the beast will be greatly affected. If three or five people hunt, as long as the prey does not escape the encirclement, it can almost guarantee the success of the hunting.

Therefore, although the two main hunting weapons now have their own advantages and disadvantages, bows and arrows should be better.

The weakness of the Ba people is that they have too few people.

At this time, hunters had already begun to attack on the river beach in the distance.

Their goal is a herd of bison.

This bison is huge in size and has two forward horns. Now it is the time to be fat and strong in late autumn. Therefore, although it is a herbivores, it has great strength, long blood troughs, thick skin and rough flesh, making it very difficult to hunt.

This group of bison is huge in number, and it is estimated that it is at least hundreds of them. As a group of hunters slowly approaches, the cattle herd starts to run after being alarmed, and then quickly gathers into a roaring sound like thunder rolls forward. Before the encirclement has completely formed, the cattle herd has gone away. Several hunters chasing behind it threw spears, but they all fell far behind the butt of the cow.

The first hunting operation at the beginning of the game was declared defeat in just ten minutes from front to back.

The crowd standing on the mound near the valley made a depressed sigh, but there were also some sarcastic words of gloating and sarcastic words among different tribes, which caused a quarrel and shoving.

However, because of the patriarch, these small riots and quarrels will soon subside.
