This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 253 - 163: Crossing the River by the Vine Wall

September 17.

After more than half a month of effort, the busy autumn harvest has finally come to an end. All the grains, after being dried, have been piled into the granary.

The full warehouse of food gives a particularly reassuring feeling; the people of the Vine Tribe can finally put their minds at ease.

At the same time, the offerings needed for the Great High Priest ceremony are basically prepared. There are various grains and vegetables, large fish, livestock, poultry, wild beasts, and more, so abundantly rich.

September 18, the day of the Great High Priest ceremony has finally arrived.

At dawn, as soon as the sky began to brighten, the entire Vine Tribe was bustling.

"Level the uneven areas of the ground, the Great High Priest ceremony will be held at noon, let’s hurry up a bit."

Beside the altar, the Warriors of the Vine Tribe were busily working with urgency.

During the Great High Priest ceremony, all tribe members must stand in front of the altar, so only the bamboo in the middle part of the bamboo forest could be cut down to clear out a large, relatively flat area.

This task has been in progress for several days by the Warriors of the Vine Tribe and is basically completed now.

Beside the altar, Chi Shao was using fresh beast blood to paint totem patterns on the Totem Pole.

Since beast blood easily congeals and changes color, it is necessary to use fresh beast blood to paint on the day of the ceremony.

Chi Shao, following Jiang Xuan’s suggestion, used a bamboo brush to continuously stir the blood as it flowed into the pottery basin, and added a small amount of saline to the beast blood.

This way, the beast blood won’t congeal so easily and can be painted for a long time.

Jiang Xuan was also helping. Not only did the Totem Pole need to have totem patterns painted, but the altar did as well. Because time was tight, the two had to speed up.

After Jiang Xuan finished painting a set of totem patterns, he carefully examined it for a moment and nodded in satisfaction: "Indeed, practice makes perfect, it looks much better than before."

After appreciating his work for a while, Jiang Xuan continued painting, needing to cover all around the altar with totem patterns.

When Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao finished all the totem patterns, the sun was already hanging high in the sky.

The Warriors had also finished leveling the ground.

At this moment, Gan Song from the Planting Team brought over the prepared grains and vegetables, placing them neatly into the large cauldron on the altar.

The Animal Breeding Team also brought over prepared various livestock and poultry, binding their feet and placing them in front of the altar.

The Hunting Team and Fishing Team also arrived to deliver the offerings they had prepared.

To prevent captives from causing trouble or escaping during the ceremony, they were all escorted to the fields in front of the Vine Tribe.

About over a hundred captives from the Jackal Tribe, due to their good behavior over more than half a year, were permitted to participate in the ceremony and become real members of the Vine Tribe.

This group of captives also set an example for other captives, letting them know that as long as they work hard, they can shed the captive identity and join the Vine Tribe, leading a good life.

Once everything was ready, the people of the Vine Tribe gathered their belongings and went to make their final preparations before the ceremony.

They needed to cleanse their bodies thoroughly and then don their finest beast hide clothing, adorn themselves with the largest and most impressive beast tooth necklaces and beast horns that they believed in, and paint totem patterns on their faces.

Both adults and children needed to do this.

When the sun rose to midday, marking the fourth year of the Vine Tribe, the Autumn Great High Priest ceremony formally began.

On the Stone Mountain above, the light mist that enveloped it gradually scattered, and the Divine Vine began to emit a green divine glow.

"Zha, zha, zha..."

Controlled by the Divine Vine, the tall Vine Wall began to move once again, countless vines growing and weaving together, sealing off the three openings, preventing anyone from causing disruption or intrusion.

Groups of Vine Tribe people, dressed in all sorts of beast hide clothing, adorned with various accessories, arrived in droves at the cleared area in front of the altar.

Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao were also present.

Jiang Xuan was wearing the latest design of beast hide clothing this year, the one with large pockets.

He also had a very large beast horn hanging at his waist, taken from the Giant Horned Beast.

The Giant Horned Beast, with an enormous physique and formidable attack power, is no weaker than fierce beasts.

Wearing the beast horn from a Giant Horned Beast reflects Jiang Xuan’s powerful strength.

Once the Witch and the leader appeared, the tribe people ceased talking, ready to await the commencement of the sacrificial ceremony.

Jiang Xuan walked to the altar and glanced at the sky, feeling that the time was about right, he nodded towards a nearby Warrior.

That Warrior clasped a horn made from a wild ox horn in both hands, placing it to his lips and blowing with all his might.

"Woo woo..."

Another Warrior shouted loudly: "The sacrificial ceremony officially begins!"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Offer the sacrifices!" freewёbnoνel.com

The Warriors, long prepared, lifted all the offerings and took turns ascending the altar.

A Warrior stood in the center of the altar, holding a sharp Stone Knife made from premium stone, responsible for bloodletting the sacrifices.

As the offerings increased, the altar became stained red with blood.

Once all the offerings were stacked up, the Warriors all descended, and Chi Shao began to step up onto the altar.

Standing atop the altar, she gazed up at the Divine Vine, spread her arms wide, and began chanting an incantation to invoke the gods.

"Zh-ta-ka-la-da, ai-zhi-can-ri..."

"Buzz!"

On the Stone Mountain above, the Divine Vine burst forth with a terrifying radiance, a fearsome divine power surged like a vast ocean, raging wildly.

Vines grew rapidly, exquisite like emerald carvings, translucent and radiant under the sunlight.
