Chapter 1545: The So-Called Bosa

"Very well Bosa, what you say makes a lot of sense. In that case, I will send our Soldiers to raid this Huaxia Tribe. There are some other tribes over there; I will mobilize them, along with the Soldiers here.

Do you want to go? How about you go and command these Soldiers?"

Bosa shook his head repeatedly: "That won't do, Tribal Chief. The Yutu Festival is almost here. If I leave, who will preside over the sacrifices? You had better choose other Soldiers to go."

Yegaer thought about it and realized it made sense. Bosa was indeed the smartest person here, but the tribe could not do without him. Matters like this were better left to Soldiers skilled in war.

"I am thinking, how about, how about we let Wulian go? Bosa, do you think he is a suitable candidate?"

Bosa nodded without hesitation: "Tribal Chief, Wulian is the best candidate. He is a fine Soldier who has killed four wolves single-handedly; that is enough to attack Huaxia."

Bosa and Yegaer reached a consensus, deciding on the candidate and the plan for this attack on Huaxia.

Within the Wulenge Tribe, Bosa was in charge of sacrifices and was also recognized as the smartest person. The Wulenge Tribe did not need too many smart people, but they could not be without them, because they were needed to control the sacrifices and communicate with the gods in Shenhu. Every time dark clouds gathered in the sky and thunder rumbled, their god would appear faintly within the clouds.

And on Shenhu, a peculiar phenomenon would suddenly appear: water would be sucked from the lake up into the sky in the form of a water column. That was the manifestation of the Heaven God.

In their faith, the Heaven God lived above Shenhu, but he was in a deep, long slumber. When dark clouds rose in the sky, it meant the Heaven God had awakened; when water columns appeared in the lake, it meant the Heaven God was thirsty and drinking water.

As for human affairs, he had entrusted them to the Yutu God to manage, but that did not mean he ignored everything. As long as the sacrifices were sufficient and proper, the Heaven God would still respond to their sacrifices and needs.

It is rumored that when their ancestors wandered to this Shenhu, they happened to see the scene of the Heaven God drinking water. Three water columns in Shenhu, accompanied by a huge wind, flew toward the sky. That was the Heaven God drinking water, and at the same time, he sucked up the fish in the lake.

Did this scene not represent that there was a Heaven God here? This was the place where the Heaven God lived, the place closest to the Heaven God. Thus, their ancestors settled on this land. Later, by gradually catching and domesticating the cattle and sheep here, it took a very, very long time to form the current Wulenge Tribe.

They could also catch and eat the fish in Shenhu, but they could only catch those near the shore. They could not go to the locations far from the shore, because that was beneath the god's body; the fish there were the god's food, and they could not eat them.

If they ate the Heaven God's fish, they also had to throw cattle and sheep into the lake as sacrifices. This was an exchange, not just blind taking, and it was also to change the Heaven God's palate.

As for the Yutu Festival, they had no calendar, so their determination of the Yutu Festival depended on when those countless large fish swam over in dense swarms.

Every summer, the scene of large fish continuously gathering in Shenhu would appear, and this scene could last for dozens of days. It was very spectacular; there were so many fish that they could barely fit in the water.

They believed this was the Heaven God's gift, a gift from the Heaven God to all living things on this land. Birds could eat them, anything could eat them, and naturally, they could eat them too. It was also during this period that they were not allowed to catch the birds of Shenhu.

From the first day the signs began, the Yutu Festival started. They had to impersonate tigers, sing and dance, beat the Drum, and perform sacrifices. In the following days, there were various sacrificial rituals that would last for several days.

This was the grandest event for the entire Wulenge Tribe. Sometimes, the surrounding tribes would also send people to participate.

As for Yutu, which was the Tiger God, Bosa believed this was a faith their ancestors had before they arrived here. They used to live in a place with many tigers, and later moved here, simply merging the two forms of sacrifice. Because in the place they were now, there were almost no tigers by Shenhu; one had to go to a relatively far place to encounter them.

But how could he speak recklessly about such things? Many people in charge of sacrifices—could they really communicate with the gods? In fact, it was all their own fantasy, along with their own nonsense. Through their own imagination, they fantasized that they were communicating with the Heaven God and listening to the Heaven God's feedback. However, no one would say they could not communicate with the Heaven God; no one would negate the source of their own power.

Every Bosa was selected from the tribe. His own son might not necessarily become a Bosa. Becoming a Bosa required being a smart person and having good eloquence. Once he discovered he could not communicate with the Heaven God, but still claimed he had communicated with the Heaven God and provided some relatively reasonable replies, then he became a qualified Bosa.

The Tribal Chief was important, but also unimportant. The brain of the tribe was the Bosa. The Tribal Chief did not have the power to strip the Bosa of his status, and the Bosa would not strip the Tribal Chief of his power. It appeared that the Tribal Chief managed the tribe, but the operation of the tribe and some major matters were all spoken by the Bosa through the mouth of the Heaven God. The one who truly managed the tribe was the Bosa.

That was not necessarily the case for small tribes, because some Tribal Chiefs were relatively smart. They only gave the Bosa the power of sacrifice and would not let them manage the tribe for them, because they themselves had that ability.

Yegaer was purely a big fool with extremely powerful physical fitness. Let alone Baifeng, even Xiong and Chi might not be able to beat him in a bare-handed fight. If Yegaer, who fought wild beasts on the plateau, arrived at Huaxia City, he would only feel oxygen rushing into his lungs. But human evolution is just like that; if you put points into muscles, your brain capacity decreases. Humans secrete a substance that limits muscle synthesis; otherwise, it would be silverbacks fighting gorillas, or they would start thinking with their tips, the left brain attacking the right brain.

Under Bosa's hoodwinking, Yegaer sent out another big fool, leading Soldiers to attack Huaxia to seize wealth and resources for the tribe.

They would not know that Huaxia had also sent people, heading toward their territory. If they had not come, it would have been truly difficult for Huaxia to find them. After all, in the vast and boundless west, it was truly too difficult to find signs of human life.

It was even possible that they might pass each other by, and then spend a year searching in the same wilderness, but just not be able to find where the other was. This was entirely possible.

Therefore, this year, the team leader Zhang also brought along other means of Huaxia: dogs and falcons, using both methods simultaneously to see if they could find the enemy's lair.
