I became a planet

Chapter 94 Sacrifice and Miasma

Guo Sen couldn't remember how many times he had heard the word "sacrifice".

It seems that this term has been heard too many times from the Birdman tribe, and it makes him feel a little disgusted.

However, Guo Sen still felt something fresh when he said it in the mouth of this giant.

The giant race, which fits well with the phrase "simple mind and well-developed limbs", does not seem to be a group of reckless men without IQ as I imagined.

On the contrary, they were able to trade with armored orcs, and they could also learn each other's language, which was really quite a big contrast.

Now, Guo Sen was really surprised to say the term "sacrifice" to someone in the cave.

If there are sacrifices, it proves that there is also the object of sacrifice, and the most important position-priest.

Other races are understandable, but if there is a priest in the giant race...

his attire...

The picture is too beautiful to imagine.

Naturally tall and strong giants are probably the most unsuitable for this profession besides those bugs, right?

"Understood, you guys bring those artifacts here!" Guo Sen heard an unusually old voice in the cave, and muttered such a sentence.

It seems that this so-called "chief" is really old.

Guo Sen's gaze followed the giants holding leather bags into the cave.

Dim flames illuminated the vast space, and he immediately saw a giant lying on a pile of furs.

Different from the giants I saw before, this aging guy was much shorter and thinner, almost skinny all over his body.

If these giants didn't call him the "leader", Guo Sen really thought he was a spy of the "thin and tall" clan who got in here.

The giants brought the golden artifacts to the leader who had already sat up tremblingly, and put them on the ground. They stepped back and knelt together.

"The quantity this time is not enough..." The leader said and took a deep breath. Guo Sen saw that he seemed to have no flesh except for his surprisingly large abdomen. It doesn't look much different from these giants, not as old as imagined.

Is this guy sick?

Otherwise, this body shape is really weird.

"Master Chief, their demands are getting higher and higher, and we are giving them more and more things..." a giant said with his head lowered, and the people next to him nodded repeatedly.

"The tears of God Limutar flowed on their land, and we can only seek these supreme gods from their hands..." The leader said and coughed twice, "These are not If it’s not enough to pray to God Limutar to eliminate the miasma on our bodies, hurry up and gather the tribe again to find more prey and red stones, and replace them with the artifacts we need!”

"Yes! Lord Chief!"

The giants stood up, turned their heads and walked out of the cave.

And the chief, pressing his belly with one hand and stroking the gold objects with the other, seemed very distressed and kept sighing.

Guo Sen understood something. These giants seemed to use gold to sacrifice to the guy named "God Limutar", begging for the miasma to disappear, so they went hunting and mining to satisfy the armored orc's material desires in exchange for more goldware.

Speaking of miasma, Guo Sen remembered that he had heard such things from previous races before.

The first time, when the White Wolf Clan buried dead bodies, the leader said that "miasma" would appear when the dead bodies were thrown in the wilderness, making it impossible for people to get close.

The second time was the fruit and vegetable tribe. The leader there said that eating meat would lead to miasma and death, so they considered eating only fruits and vegetables.

This so-called "miasma" is something like germs and parasites.

Primitive people with lower civilizations and no concept of "medical skills" cannot understand the existence of such things, and will, like these giants, entrust the hope of getting rid of the miasma to the "gods".

However, this is absolutely impossible, no matter how many so-called tributes they offer.

Of course, it is not ruled out that individuals with strong resistance are lucky to survive by relying on their own immunity. These people who survive will be more obsessed with offering sacrifices to please the "gods".

For example, take a look at those bird people. They believe in the powerful spiritual power brought by the god "Inut", and attribute all success and failure to the gift or punishment of God. They are extremely devout and deeply Obsessed with this.

But if they cannot resist the miasma and unfortunately die, the primitive people who believe in gods will blame themselves and think that they have not done what they should do, which is why they have led to such an end.

The ignorance of the primitive civilization era is the ignorance of the world, which gave birth to this primitive belief.

Its emergence is the beginning of primitive people's fear of nature, and it is also the germination of a new culture.

Guo Sen looked at the chief who was stroking the golden vessel repeatedly, and his overly large belly.

The "miasma" the chief just mentioned should be the thing that caused him to become skinny and pot-bellied.

Guo Sen remembered that the chief said just now that it was "the miasma on us". Could it be that there are other people in this giant tribe who have also become like this ghost?

He turned his eyes away from the cave and looked around.

He found that this vast hilly area seemed to be ruled by giants.

In and outside the caves, Guo Sen saw more giants.

The total number of them is nearly one thousand, which is really quite a lot.

Contrary to Guo Sen's imagination, the civilization level of this giant race does not seem to be too low.

They have the skills to make fire and use flames, weave various tools out of dry bark and hay, and have the dexterity to peel off the hides of animals intact.

Wooden sticks made of hard and sharp stones and hard wood are also the most convenient weapons they can find. In order to increase their sturdiness and power, they also wrapped the wooden sticks with gold wires obtained from armored orcs. After living, it becomes a more powerful weapon.

The giants are the masters of this huge forest, and their presence is a deterrent, so Guo Sen didn't see anything similar to the wooden fences seen in other tribes.

Giants, big and small, whether they are lifting boulders, waving giant trees directly, or even chasing prey in the forest, they are showing their presence all the time.

However, Guo Sen also found giants who were as skinny as the chief and had a swollen abdomen in some caves.

They had the same symptoms, were almost completely unable to move, and many of them looked even scarier than the chief.

What kind of disease is this so-called "miasma"?

Why are there so many patients at the same time?
