Chapter 2: The Tauren Lord

Linshuixuan is the prince's property, and dignitaries often come here for entertainment, so the guards are usually placed in the other courtyard to wait in order to avoid offending the dignitaries.

"Master?"

A young man in his twenties, wearing a black fish-scale suit and a sword at his waist, was slightly surprised to see Zhou Tieyi appear. He looked up at the Mohist self-running clock in the lobby and saw that it was just past one o'clock.

When he saw Zhou Tieyi's cold face, he asked cautiously, "What happened?"

"Ada, tell Aer to hurry back to the mansion and gather some good men to help us. I'm afraid we're going to be in trouble tonight."

Although Zhou Tieyi had just experienced the panic of time travel, his mind was still clear.

That evil woman Guan Guan wants to cause a conflict between the military heroes and the in-laws, so things will definitely not end well tonight.

Just now, that coward Zhao Taisui just had no one around him and was frightened by me for a moment. I guess when he was going downstairs, as soon as Guan Guan heard the wind in his ear, he had already mobilized his men and was ready to give me a ruthless blow.

It would be unwise to leave Linshuixuan directly now. We were blocked on the road and couldn't even cry.

"Ah."

A Da nodded vigorously and went to the inner room to wake up his resting brother.

Zhou Tieyi found a random chair and sat down, pinching his brows and thinking about the voice that had just appeared.

"The great Minotaur Lord..."

When he was concentrating, the voice rang out again. It was because of this voice that he restrained the "divine seed" in his body and prevented himself from accidentally killing the idiot Zhao Taisui according to Guan Guan's plan.

Is this my golden finger?
Direct response?

"I am the Lord of the Minotaur..."

Zhou Tieyi’s thought just came to his mind.

"You... responded to us?"

The voice on the other end was filled with excitement, fear and ecstasy.

Zhou Tieyi looked over in the direction of the voice.

His five senses first seemed to be caught in a whirlpool, and then a giant-like figure appeared before his eyes.

The other person had strong muscles all over his body, with bulging veins on his arms that looked like little snakes entwined around him. He wore a pair of leather pants, a fur coat, and a hand drum made of snake skin hung around his waist. He also wore a mask full of barbaric atmosphere, and the most eye-catching thing on the mask was a pair of sharp, upright horns.

After receiving the response, the giant immediately announced loudly to the people holding the ceremony around him, "The great Minotaur Lord has responded to me!"

The giant man next to him, who was slightly shorter but equally strong as a city wall, asked with excitement and curiosity, "Wu, what did the Minotaur Lord say?"

The giant called Wu's face froze with excitement. He was not sure if what he just heard was correct. He lowered his head again with a little awe and looked at the bonfire in front of him. "Great Lord of the Minotaur, please give us your oracle."

While Wu was talking to his companions, Zhou Tieyi also figured out his current situation.

His golden finger allowed him to travel through time again, but this time he traveled to a bonfire, so when he looked at the burly men around him, it was like looking up at a group of giants.

He thought for a second and said, "I..."

He originally wanted to change his name to a better one, but he thought that he could not grasp and understand the current information, and a rash change might lead to unpredictable changes, so he changed his words and said, "My name is a respected name, and it cannot be called casually. You need to keep it in mind."

Wu nodded quickly, "I understand." Then there was a minute-long silence.

Zhou Tieyi used the perspective of fire to observe his surroundings. He found himself in a huge fire pit, surrounded by dozens of wild and strong men. This should be some uncivilized tribe, and he had become their god.

However, I still need to figure out what benefits becoming their god will bring to me.

On the other hand, the witch of the Tauren tribe received a response from the gods for the first time after decades of sacrifices by the tribe. He also didn't know what to say or do.

Finally, the witch broke the silence, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Great God, please bless our tribe."

Zhou Tieyi felt embarrassed when he heard the witch's request. Just a minute ago, he was also trying to discover his abilities after becoming a god.

In the end, he only discovered that he only possessed two strange abilities for the time being.

The first thing is to cover the vision of the entire tribe.

The second thing is to be proficient in the language so that you can communicate with the other party without any obstacles.

What a shabby god! Zhou Tieyi laughed at himself in his heart, and then quickly thought of a way to delay.

"Your sacrifices are only enough to awaken me from chaos. I will make a contract with you. When you worship me more devoutly, I will bestow new blessings to help the tribe grow and prosper."

After just a brief observation, he had a general understanding of this "Tauren Tribe". This was a fertile alluvial plain, but it was winter now, the rivers were frozen, and everything was covered in frost.

There are more than 400 people in the tribe, most of them are young people and teenagers. There are no elderly people. However, I don’t know if it’s due to genetic reasons, but the people here are generally tall and strong.

Judging from the utensils in their house, they should be in the middle period of the clay civilization, and no metal objects have been found so far.

"Yes!"

The witch looked excited. The wild and dangerous place they lived in was full of dangers. Only the tribes blessed by the gods could resist natural disasters and grow stronger.

Their tribe paid a huge price and after several generations of sacrifices, today the tribe’s totem finally responded again!
All the previous sacrifices were worth it!
"The god requires us to start a new sacrifice. After the sacrifice, he will bless us!"

Wu announced to the burly men around him.

The ecstatic expressions of the strong men revealed a hint of complexity and pain. Finally, the one who looked the oldest stood up and said, "Use me for the sacrifice."

Wu nodded heavily, then picked up a bone knife that was polished to an extremely sharp point and as long as an adult's thigh. There was a dark red color on the blade that seeped into the bone marrow.

Zhou Tieyi reacted instantly, "Wait."

The witch stopped the bone knife that was about to pierce the strong man's body, looked at the blazing fire pit in confusion, waiting for the god's instructions.

"You don't want to use him as a sacrifice, do you?"

Zhou Tieyi said in a complex and heavy voice.

"Yes, great god, humans have extremely strong spirituality and are the best objects of sacrifice."

Sure enough, in a wild society, human sacrifice was a normal transitional stage.

Zhou Tieyi sighed a bit, then let his voice spread with the help of the fire pit, and said solemnly, "That was when I was still in chaos. From now on, I will make a contract with you. You and your descendants for generations to come shall not sacrifice living people to me, but shall sacrifice to me with piety."
