Nine large ships entered the port of the Vine Tribe one after another, and then performed a series of operations such as lowering sails and anchoring.
After setting up the big ship, Jingjie and others opened the cabin and began to work hard to move things down.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Jiang Xuan led people to the river and asked Jingjie why he didn't come back earlier.
"Hoo!"
Jing Jie picked up a huge water beast with its four hooves tied up, carried it from the boat to the shore, and said to Jiang Xuan: "We ran into a little trouble, and we were delayed for half a day."
Jiang Xuan frowned slightly. He wanted to ask clearly, but the great sacrifice had to continue and everyone was waiting.
"Send over the sacrifices you have prepared first. If you have anything else to do, we can talk about it after the sacrifices are finished."
"Yes!"
Nepeta led people on and off the boat one after another, carrying all the prepared sacrifices to the altar.
This time we went to the Everglades. Although the fleet encountered a lot of troubles and lost a few soldiers, with the old witch and the giant eagle around, the safety of most people was not a problem.
Therefore, the fleet's harvest this time was very rich. The sacrifices prepared for the Vine God alone were piled up in mountains, and there were countless strange animals and plants.
In order to save time, Jiang Xuan brought the soldiers from the guard team to help and moved all the sacrifices to the altar.
After everything was done, the soldiers from the fleet and the guard team also joined the team in front of the five-color altar, and the sacrificial ceremony continued.
Red peony stood in front of the five-color altar and bowed to the altar again.
"Please ask the Fuji God to close the entrance to the tribe."
"Buzz!"
The divine vines bloomed with dazzling green light, and those giant dragonflies flew even more cheerfully.
"Kakaka..."
On the vine wall, all the vines continued to grow intertwined, and the river quickly closed like a gate, and the river water could only flow out through the gaps in the vines.
When all entrances were closed, Shen Teng retracted the vines on the vine wall and prepared to accept the sacrifice.
"Woo woo woo..."
Some warriors blew the horns of cattle and sheep, and the whole tribe echoed the desolate horn sound.
A warrior next to the altar shouted: "The sacrificial ceremony has officially begun!"
Chi Shao took a deep breath, and then walked up step by step along the steps of the five-color altar with bare feet.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Chi Shao. Chi Shao felt a lot of pressure, but she still walked steadily.
When Chi Shao ascended the tens-meter-high altar, what came into view was a very wide platform. There were three large cauldrons on the platform, arranged in a "pin" shape.
Each large cauldron is filled with a variety of carefully selected grains, colorful and piled high, which is very spectacular.
Chi Shao stood on the altar, facing the huge divine vine, slowly opened his arms, and began to recite the incantation:
"ㄉㄊㄎㄌㄉ,ㄞㄓㄘㄢㄖ..."
The mysterious and ancient spell has a strange and solemn rhythm, like an ancient song and telling a story.
After all the Vine tribe members heard this voice, the totem patterns on their faces and bodies began to glow with a faint light, and their whole people felt full of power.
"Rumble..."
As the chanting continued, the divine vine began to slowly pull out its roots rooted in the ground, and floated into the air. The divine light illuminated the sky like thousands of green clouds, and the divine power flowed in the air like a vast ocean.
"vine god, rattan god, rattan god..."
The people of the Vine Tribe couldn't help but cheer, and the sound was like a tsunami, one wave higher than the other.
"It seems to be stronger than before."
The old witch standing next to the crowd watching the ceremony looked at the huge and terrifying divine vine and let out a low exclamation.
In his feeling, Shen Teng was much more terrifying than before. The vast divine power alone made him feel breathless.
Not only the old witch, but other tribal leaders who came to watch the ceremony also had horrified looks on their faces.
This is their first close contact with Shinto.
Unlike the people of the Teng tribe, they only felt terrible oppression in front of Shen Teng, and even breathing became difficult.
"Is this the patron saint of the big tribe?"
The mountain beetle's neck was retracted into the turtle shell armor. If it weren't for the better relationship with the Vine tribe, he would have wanted to run away.
In front of Fujigami, he felt like he was worse than an ant.
The leaders of the Frog Tribe, Rabbit Tribe, Stinging Fly Tribe and Pangolin Tribe are similar to the Goliaths, and everyone has deep awe in their eyes.
It can be predicted that after this sacrifice, the strength of the Vine Tribe will leave an indelible mark in their hearts.
When the entire divine vine floated into the air, Chi Shao stood up, turned around and faced the altar, and shouted: "Sacrifice!"
"Follow me."
Below the altar, Jiang Xuan immediately waved to the warriors who had been prepared, then took the lead in carrying a huge two-horned beast and walked up the steps of the altar step by step.
Later, the warriors carried or carried a large number of sacrifices one by one to the altar in turn.
The five-color altar built by the Vine Tribe has stairs on all sides. After Jiang Xuan placed the two-horned beast in the center of the altar, he saluted the Vine God and then walked down the stairs on the other side.
Soon, a long queue appeared at the altar.
The warriors of the Vine tribe were like ants moving, lining up one by one to deliver the sacrifices to the altar, and then queuing down from the other side.
There are more and more sacrifices on the altar, and the wide platform is full.
Looking around, you can see all kinds of beasts, beasts, grains, and vegetables piled up in mountains, and even some magical plants were offered as sacrifices.
When all the sacrifices were delivered, Chi Shao stood on the edge of the altar, bowed to the God Vine again, and said loudly: "Please enjoy the sacrifices to the God Vine."
The huge divine vine flew over the altar, and then, countless roots wrapped around all the sacrifices on the altar, almost wrapping the entire altar.
But when those roots passed by the red peony root, they bypassed her and did not cause any harm to her.
"Zizzizi..."
The prey could still make some sounds at first, but when they were completely wrapped, they couldn't even make a sound, and only the sound of drawing water was left on the altar.
Soon after, all the sacrifices on the altar were swallowed up by the divine vine, leaving no skin or bones behind.
"Buzz..."
All the roots of the divine vine were retracted and floated into the air again.
After enjoying the sacrifice, the divine vine was in better condition than before, and even the old branches were full of vitality.
Red peony bows again: "Please ask the Vine God to bless the people."
In the sky, the divine vine swayed slightly, as if nodding.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Green vines grew rapidly and extended in all directions, shrouding the heads of the tens of thousands of vine tribe members.
"Tick..."
A drop of green divine liquid dripped from the end of a vine and landed on the head of a vine tribe member.
The tribesman felt that a warm current spread from the head to the whole body, and the muscles, bones and internal organs were strengthened, and the whole person felt very comfortable.
"Tick tick tick..."
More and more divine liquid dripped, and finally turned into a rain of divine liquid.
"The patter..."
Countless amounts of divine liquid fell from the sky and sprinkled on the people of the Vine Tribe, strengthening their bodies and washing their souls.
"I broke through!"
"I also broke through!"
……
Among the crowd, there were exclamations one after another. They were the warriors whose strength had greatly increased after bathing in the divine liquid.
Everyone fell into ecstasy. They screamed and danced in the rain of divine liquid, venting their ecstasy.
On the altar, red peony root also received great benefits.
A vine wrapped directly around her body, pouring a lot of witchcraft power into her body.
When Chi Shao opened her eyes again, her eyes were like deep pools with no bottom.
Chi Shao looked at her hands and whispered excitedly: "We are almost close to the great witch!"
A great witch is a witch that can only appear in large tribes, and its strength is unfathomable.
The old witch is a great witch. He rode a giant eagle from the Eastern Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness, and then to the Western Wilderness without any accidents, which shows how terrifying his strength is.
As for Chi Shao, although she is not very old, with the help of Shen Teng, after this sacrifice, she is likely to break through at any time and become a real great witch.
This is an amazing achievement.
On the other side, a thick vine also wrapped around Jiang Xuan's body and poured a large amount of divine fluid into his body.
Jiang Xuan felt that the muscles, bones and internal organs all over his body were being washed over and over again by the divine liquid, constantly transforming.
"Uh-huh..."
Finally, Jiang Xuan roared, two rays of light appeared in his eyes, and totem patterns spread all over his body.
The vines slowly retracted, and the totem pattern on Jiang Xuan's body gradually disappeared, but his strength has reached a big level than before.
"Seven Color Warrior!"
Jiang Xuan clenched his fists, and there was a "crack-crack-crack" sound coming from his joints. He felt a powerful force!
He had already broken through and became a six-color warrior, and this sacrifice made him a true seven-color warrior.
Even in those large tribes, seven-color warriors are rare.
Generally, only the leaders of large tribes can reach the seven-color level, but now, Jiang Xuan is also a seven-color warrior.
In other words, he is now a veritable leader of a large tribe, both in terms of strength and power.
In addition to Jiang Xuan and others, the members of the Thorn Vine in the Dense Fog also received varying degrees of benefits, and their strength was greatly improved.
This is undoubtedly great news for the Thorn Vine team members who are usually in danger.
Their loyalty to the tribe is also higher.
After the rain of divine liquid ended, the divine vine took back all the vines.
Red peony shouted loudly: "Thank you to the God of Teng!"
"Thank you, Goddess Fuji..."
All the people of the Vine Tribe shouted in unison and kowtowed to the Divine Vine sincerely.
The divine vine swayed gently in the sky, accepting the power of faith and thanks from the tribesmen.
"Rumble..."
The divine vine slowly descended, and all its roots plunged into the ground again.
Not only that, its roots have penetrated deeper and farther, and all the snakes, insects, rats, and ants hidden underground have been cleaned up by those roots.
This is also one of the benefits of the Great Sacrifice.
Soon after, the vine wall opened the door again, and the sacrificial ceremony was completed.
But the crowd has not dispersed yet, because there is still something very important that has not been announced.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao walked to the front of the altar together.
They looked at the dark crowd and felt their hearts surge.
Chi Shao nodded towards Jiang Xuan and encouraged him.
Jiang Xuan took a deep breath and shouted to all the people of the Vine Tribe: "I declare that from today on, our Vine Tribe will be a truly big tribe!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Vine tribe was excited, and all the tribesmen cheered.
"Big tribe! Big tribe! Big tribe..."
At this moment, all the people of the Vine Tribe felt a sense of pride in their hearts. From today on, they are members of the big tribe.
The leaders of other tribes looked at them with great envy, with very complicated emotions.

Thanks to the book friends who voted last year, we will continue to walk together in 2023.
