Chapter 7: Signs
Suhanu was careful to lurk in the grass, covered with spiked grass liquid, and his whole body was motionless. Even if there were poisonous fangs or golden centipedes crawling onto their bodies, he would not move because he was doing a big thing, hunting the New Year beast!
The Nian Beast is the overlord of the jungle, a living creature living alone, with extremely high hiding and anti-reconnaissance power, and can fly and glide in a short distance. It is huge, with a length of more than ten meters and a height of four or five, and feeds on beasts. On weekdays, it cannot be seen in the jungle, and when you see it, it is already the time when the god of death comes.
In addition to being extremely powerful, tearing tigers and leopards, and being able to fly, secretly walk, etc., the Nian Beast is also extremely smart and careful. As long as you find a slight wrong, you will escape immediately. Sometimes it is just suspicious, but the Nian Beast is still the same. Therefore, the Nian Beast is not only the most powerful beast in the jungle, but also an almost uncatchable beast.
But there are exceptions. There is a period of time every year, which lasts about ten to fifteen days. This period is the time for the Nian beasts to court each other. Only at this time, the Nian beasts' desire to mating and the breath emitted by their bodies will cause their detection acuity to drop significantly. At the same time, they will be in a bad mood and lose their usual cautiousness and suspicion. This is the only time to hunt Nian beasts.
The annual beast hunting period of every year happens to be the eve of the Celtic New Year Festival. The Celtic tribe, that is, Suhanu's mother tribe, made the greatest contribution to God in the annual festival and the greatest honor to the warriors is to offer a New Year beast to their city-state as a sacrifice during the annual festival. The warrior presented can take Europe as the middle name. All the people with Europe as the middle name are the bravest and strongest in the entire city, and the strongest ones are the strongest people who can go to the main city to learn saint fighting skills. If this brave man still has both luck and potential, he may even become a Saint Seiya in the end!
Saint Seiya known as the God's Fighter!
Suhanu is the strongest man in his village, or the strongest man in this generation of young fighters, but his path has come to an end. He is very clear about this. If he wants to go further, he must go to the main city to learn saint skills. If he is lucky enough to become a saint, then he will climb to a new peak. Even if he does not become a saint, as long as he learns saint skills, his status and strength will be much stronger than now.
So he decided to hunt the Nian beast, continue the customs of the Celtic tribe for millions of years, please use the Nian beasts to please the gods, and then enter the main city of the gods to become the gods' fighters!
Just as Suhanu was lurking silently, a slight sound appeared in the jungle. The sound was not the sound of wind, nor was it a small animal or insect. Suhanu's ears trembled slightly, and then he was forced to stop it immediately. He knew... He had been hunting for three years, encountered more than a dozen times, which caused him to be seriously injured eight times, and two things that were on the verge of death appeared... New Year beast!
This is a male annual beast, and a powerful annual beast in the mature stage. It is already twenty meters long. It does not count the length of its tail, and the height is about seven meters. It moves forward in the jungle. It is obviously so huge that it is as flexible as a cat, and it sits silently. Even in the dense jungle, you can come and go easily. Although this is the case, there is no wretchedness and timidity while walking, but a feeling of domineeringness. Even if you only take a look, you can know the terror and power of this creature.
Suhanu didn't dare to look closely, but just turned his eyes to the feet of the Nian Beast. This was because the Nian Beast's sensitivity was more than imagined, and many times he could even sense his eyes. Among the more than a dozen encounters, at least three of them were the failure caused by Suhanu's gaze. This was his fourth year of hunting the Nian Beast, and his age was twenty-two years old. This was the time when he was the strongest. If he wanted to become a Saint Seiya, he would not be able to continue to fail.
After the year beast came out of the jungle, he looked around and looked around a few times, and his eyes rolled over Suhanu's hiding place several times, but he did not find Suhanu's existence. After a few seconds, the year beast began to approach this side, and Suhanu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason he chose this place was because wild fruits called barbarian fruits grew here. This wild fruit is slightly toxic and has bad taste. Naturally, it is impossible for him and his tribe members to eat them. However, this wild fruit seems to be helpful for the reproduction of certain animals, so the annual *** place often chooses places where barbarian fruits grow. Although it is also a chance, it is obvious that he is lucky this time...
Just when Suhanu felt lucky, his eyes suddenly changed, and he jumped up without hesitation. Where he was just lurking, a huge claw fell from the sky, and a smaller New Year beast fell there, and the grass was flattened with one palm, and the ground was trapped in several points. If it fell on a person, it could directly turn a person into a meat paste.
Suhanu rolled a few times before jumping. At this time, he had already seen clearly the situation at the scene. Two... two young beasts, one male and one female, surrounded him one by one, and one by the other. When Suhanu saw the appearance of the female young beast, he immediately smiled bitterly, with a desperate smile.
The fur of this female Nian beast is slightly red, which is a symbol of pregnancy. It seems that he is not lucky, but has very bad luck. These two Nian beasts may have mateed a few days ago. Moreover, this female Nian beast is lucky to be pregnant. The Nian beast that lives alone will only live together when the female Nian beast is pregnant and will not separate until the young beast is born. During this period, the two Nian beasts will clear away everything around their nests, which is a threat. It seems that Suhanu is ambushing here.
Houli, these two Nian beasts had already discovered him, and then the male Nian beast attracted his attention. The female Nian beast took a violent attack. Although he survived because of his experience, these two Nian beasts would definitely not let him go... He could not deal with one, and he needed to rely on traps, poisons, etc. to kill and capture. The two were not something he could fight against. Perhaps... Maybe only fighters who have learned the saint skills, or even junior saints, can fight against...
(I'm dead!)
Although he had such an idea, Suhanu was not a person waiting to die. He moved his feet and kicked some soil towards the female Nian beast directly in front of him. Then he ran to the side of the two Nian beasts, not even thinking about confronting him. He knew that his only way to live was to escape... The thirty square meters away from here was a sunken valley, which might be his only way to live!
Running all the way, two New Year beasts chased each other, ten square meters, twenty square meters... Suhanu was seriously injured in a few minutes, and one arm was bitten off. The scars on his body were mostly deep and visible, but his face was firm and he had no weakness or despair at all. He just ran forward with all his heart. Living was his only idea...
But the reality is not changed by personal ideas. The Nian Beast is the overlord of the jungle. The two Nian Beasts are enough to compete with a Saint Seiya. They are extremely fast and powerful. Suhanu has actually reached the point where the lights are exhausted. Finally, under the claws of the Gong Nian Beast, he was knocked away more than ten meters away. After knocking down a tree, he collapsed to the ground. His spine was broken, and there was no hope anymore.
(Have I finished here too?)
Suhanu closed his eyes, and the two young beasts no longer attacked immediately, but walked towards him slowly as if they were walking. It was a feeling of joking about the weak creatures.
And at this moment, something strange happened in Suhanu's closed eyes. He "saw" something in the dark, which was a shining constellation...
Saints are the guards and fighters of God, but their power does not come from the gods themselves, but from the universe. Its characteristic is to visualize constellations and use the power of constellations to trigger the power of the universe. Why do you need luck in becoming a Saints besides strength? Because the first requirement of Saints is not actually strength, but to be able to see the constellations that belong to you in the dark...
Suhanu, who should have no response, stood up. His spinal injury was healing rapidly. A force burst out from his body. The two annual beasts immediately stopped. They felt a threat, which made their suspicious attack...
This scene happened in various city-states, jungles, and even in various arenas in the main city. Of course, not everyone encountered a life-and-death crisis, but they were all the best in their own city-states. They saw their own constellations without praying to the gods and became Saints...
"Pope, His Majesty the Pope!? What was the breath just now?"
In the main temple of the main city, many old men in gorgeous clothes surrounded an old man wearing a golden crown and asked. They all felt the aura, spread throughout the world, and all the city-states were densely packed with at least hundreds of them. These were all the aura of the awakening of Saint Seiya. You must know that before that, a Saint Seiya had awakened five years ago, and there were only eight Saint Seiyas!
The old man, honored as the Pope, opened his eyes. There was no white in his eyes, but the darkness of the stars reflected. He looked up at the ceiling of the temple, but it seemed that he was not looking at the ceiling, but looking at the farther sky. He murmured: "The revelation of God has come, the enemy..."
"The enemy is here!"
