Chapter 316 Festival
The gray-white aurora curtain slowly rose, and Jiang Xia stepped out of the space passage.

This time he made a bolder attempt, and the data he collected in the world of Oz was enough to make it worth his while to give it a try.

The moment he took a step forward the environment began to change. The surroundings became noisy, with groups of people dancing along the altar in the middle.

The torches in their hands slightly illuminated the surroundings that were about to be swallowed by darkness.

On the altar was a stone that was burned by flames and had many pits on its surface.
The man standing on the altar took out the iron spike from his waist, nailed the sharp part into the hole in the center, and hit the tail of the spike vigorously.

Suddenly, sparks flew everywhere, and every time a crack appeared, a faint light escaped from the hole. In a short while, the stone had several more cracks.

Finally, after the last heavy blow, the stone finally broke completely, revealing an extremely bright golden light.

All the people present waved torches in their hands, cheered and shouted loudly.

"ㄛㄤㄊㄆㄣㄊㄑㄋㄘ"

A woman who looked like a wizard and was wearing a white linen robe was holding something that could barely be called a wooden staff in her right hand. She was chanting something in an ancient language that Jiang Xia could hardly understand.

Jiang Xia also couldn't understand a word of the people who gathered at the altar, wearing cotton and linen clothes and holding torches excitedly.

I just could feel that they were very surprised when they saw the red stone appear.

Fortunately, the Aurora Curtain automatically arranged an identity for him in this strange and ancient era.

Otherwise, the first thing he would do after traveling here is to learn the writing and language here.

The information transmitted by the Aurora Curtain was flowing rapidly in his mind. The hieroglyphic lines were being quickly disassembled, and he was understanding a new language at an astonishing speed.

Its name is "Lin Duo Yu".

After digesting all the information conveyed to him, Jiang Xia gradually understood the cheers of the people around him, but he still could not understand the language chanted by the female wizard on the altar.

Now Jiang Xia's clothes have also been automatically replaced, and he is no longer one of those holding torches.

Instead, he was a spectator, standing with most of the people dressed in ancient costumes, looking at the altar from afar.

But now Jiang Xia can also judge what happened here.

Judging from the whispers of those around him and the memories that suddenly emerged in his mind, this was a selection, an important moment in becoming a warrior.

He himself is one of the three candidates who volunteered to become a warrior. The enemy faced by the selected warrior is a special race called "Gurongi".

This is the super ancient time and space of Kuuga. It is unknown how many thousands of years have passed since Yusuke Godai completed Kuuga's first transformation.

But after browsing the memories in his mind, Jiang Xia fell into deep doubts.

"What's wrong, Jiang Xia, have you changed your mind? This matter is already very dangerous, otherwise just tell the village chief that you will not participate in the selection."

A young man with his eyes downcast and wandering gaze whispered to Jiang Xia who was frowning slightly.

"No, Rick, this is my choice, and it's a good way to stop you and your sister from being discriminated against."

Jiang Xia gently patted Rick, whose body was trembling slightly, based on her memory of their interactions.

In his memory, in the future, Riku would have completely sealed off the Gurongi clan with just the four basic attributes.

Now he is just an ordinary person living in Linduo Village, who is not very strong and even a little cowardly.

The gap between the Rick in front of Jiang Xia now and the Rick who only exists in the background and is powerful and invincible is a bit too big, even like heaven and earth.

What on earth could have happened to make a cowardly man quickly grow into a warrior as strong as steel? That could only have happened through unforgettable, even incomparable, tragic events.

Although he didn't know what happened after Riku became Kuuga, Jiang Xia could already imagine the details.

Will there be corpses everywhere here? Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes and suddenly became alert.

Although it is just speculation, it is indeed possible and we must be on guard against it.

At this moment, the enthusiastic noise around gradually died down, and the witch on the altar finally stopped the unclear chanting.

She reached out and took out the glowing object wrapped in the stone.

The light gradually faded away, and what was held in the witch's palm was a ring-shaped object with a red original gem in the center. It was an exquisite yet simple ring-shaped object that was impossible to create in this era.

"The Kuga belt finally appeared." Jiang Xia said secretly.

"Who... was chosen to be the warrior representing my village?" The white-haired and slightly old village chief said in a trembling voice at the front of the altar.

"Now that I have obtained the will of God, I will choose the most suitable person from the three warrior candidates to help us get out of the predicament." The witch raised the scepter in her hand and spoke.

Although the witch's voice was not very loud, it made the Linduo people present ecstatic.

Because the Gurongi are a very ferocious race. They were originally part of the human race, but after they obtained a meteorite from outer space, they mutated.

The weapons forged from meteorites from outer space had a great impact on their bodies, causing their flesh to begin to mutate and gradually turn into monsters with hideous appearance and abnormal power.

At the same time, their humanity was completely erased, turning them into true monsters who took pleasure in killing.

Although the Yamadama inlaid on the Yaguru (Kuga's belt) is also a product of meteorites.

However, he will not become a cold-blooded monster like Gurongi, but will become a powerful warrior who can protect Linduo. Although he and Gurongi seem to have the same origin, they actually have a completely different relationship.

The reason for the cheers around them was that now, with the power of Kuuga, they would have the power to defeat Gurongi and allow them to live in peace, which of course made them very excited.

At this moment, the tribesmen around them quickly made way for the three candidates who volunteered to be warriors to go to the altar.

At this moment, the eyes of all the tribesmen were focused here.

Similarly, Rick in the audience also clenched his fists slightly.

In order to prevent his sister from being rejected by the tribe because she is blind, he prepares to participate in the warrior selection to fight against Gurongi and becomes the monster-like Kuuga.

However, at this time, Jiang Xia volunteered to participate in the soldier selection on his behalf.

Jiang Xia also takes good care of her sister and is able to help her get rid of discrimination. That is why Rick feels nervous.

Hundreds of people in the tribe understood that to become a warrior, they would have to face Gurongi directly and carry the hopes of the entire tribe, and there was a high possibility that they would never return. Only three people were willing to accept to become Kuuga.

He hopes that his sister will no longer be bullied, but he also hopes that his good friend will not become a monster and will not fight. Now his simple wish is in a dilemma.

When the witch saw these three people standing in front of her at the same time, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in her eyes covered with oil paint.

"Hmm?" At the same time, Jiang Xia frowned slightly. He felt like he was being spied on, and that there was something wrong with this witch.

However, he did not take any other action for the time being, after all, he was still in the warrior selection ceremony.

"The person representing our Lindo is him!"
