Zhao Hai's performance gave Mendez a very good impression of him. In addition, Zhao Hai had saved Wales and helped him before, so Mendez's impression of Zhao Hai was much better than other human merchants.
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while before Zhao Hai raised his head to look at Wales and said in a deep voice, "My brother Wales, what are you going to do now? Food isn't a problem, but if you want to overthrow Gasol, you have to have a plan. Just going in rashly won't do. "
Wales stared blankly for a moment. To be honest, he really didn't have a very specific plan. He only wanted to use food to pull in other branch races, and didn't have a more detailed plan.
Zhao Hai looked at Wales and said, "My brother Wales, I think you should have a more detailed plan, but I can't help you with this. You should know that I'm a human, so I don't know much about your Herculean Bull Tribe. If I help you too much, then it might have the opposite effect. Therefore, this matter will depend on you. But after you plan it out, you can tell me where to go. If you don't want to attract attention, then we can go separate ways. You just need to tell me where to transport the food." Wales nodded and said, "Yes.
Wales glanced at Zhao Hai and said, "My brother, your reminder is really timely. Now I have something to discuss with you, and I hope you can agree."
Zhao Hai looked at Wales in confusion and said, "Brother Wales, what is it? As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help. "
Wales looked at Zhao Hai with a serious face and said, "My brother Zhao Hai, I want to make a Beheading Blood Oath with you!"
Zhao Hai stared blankly for a moment, and looked at Wales with a puzzled face. Laura and the others were also puzzled, while Mendez and Yale looked at Wales with shocked faces.
The Beheading Blood Oath was a very special oath among beastmen. This oath wasn't made by one person, but by two people. In the words of Earth, it was called becoming sworn brothers!
However, the beastmen valued this oath more than anything else. Once two people made this oath, they would be blood brothers. Neither of them could betray the other. Otherwise, they would be despised by all the beastmen. In the worst case, they might even be hunted down.
The Beheading Blood Oath didn't need your own blood. Instead, the two people making the oath had to cut off the head of an argali at the same time, and then get a bowl of goat blood. The two people would drink the blood together, and from then on, they wouldn't betray the other party. When the other party was in trouble, the other party had to do his best to help.. even if they had to go bankrupt and be crushed, they couldn't regret.
Don't think that this blood oath was made casually. According to the beastmen, this blood oath was completed under the witness of the Beast God. If someone violated it, they would be punished by the Beast God.
The beastmen attached great importance to the Beheading Blood Oath. It could be seen from the magic beasts they used to make the oath. Although the argali was only a level-1 magic spell, it was the most important magic beast to the beastmen. Therefore, they wouldn't easily make a Beheading Blood Oath with someone, even if it was someone from the same race, let alone someone from another race.
In the Beastmen Prairie, it had been a long time since anyone had used the Beheading Blood Oath, not to mention a human. There had never been a beastman who had made a Beheading Blood Oath with a human.
It was because of this that humans had never heard of the beastmen's Beheading Blood Oath. Even if they had heard of it, they might not have remembered it. This was because the blood oath had no meaning to humans. Laura and the others had never heard of the Beheading Blood Oath.
Wales looked at Zhao Hai and the others and knew that Zhao Hai didn't understand what the Beheading Blood Oath was. He said with a straight face, "My brother, the Beheading Blood Oath is the oath that we beastmen value the most. After making the Beheading Blood Oath, we are true brothers …" Then he explained the meaning of the Beheading Blood Oath to Zhao Hai and the others.
Zhao Hai and the others listened quietly to Wales' words. The Beheading Blood Oath was a bloody oath. In fact, the weight of this oath might be even heavier than beheading.
Beheading was easy. Who knew how many people would be beheaded in a battle. But when a friend was in trouble, there were very few who would be willing to sacrifice their own lives to help. From this point, the weight of the Beheading Blood Oath could be seen.
Zhao Hai didn't say anything for a long time until Wales finished speaking. He understood from Wales' words that the Beheading Blood Oath was equivalent to the oath of brotherhood on Earth. It was equivalent to the Three Vows of the Peach Garden!
If there was a country on Earth that valued the oath of brotherhood the most, it would be China. But I don't think it's the current China, but the ancient China.
The Three Vows of the Peach Garden had been passed down since ancient times. It had its own reasons. Perhaps only the Three Vows of the Peach Garden could be compared to the beastmen's Beheading Blood Oath.
The fact that the beastmen valued this oath put Zhao Hai in a difficult position for a while. He didn't know what to do because he really didn't want to participate in the struggle between the beastmen. But if he really became Wales' Blood Oath Brother, then he would inevitably participate. This went against his original intention.
Laura and the others didn't say anything. To be exact, this situation put them in a difficult position. If Zhao Hai didn't agree to Wales' request, then their cooperation with Wales would be difficult. But if he agreed, then they would have to participate in this struggle for power. For them, this wasn't a good thing.
Zhao Hai raised his head to look at Wales. Wales was now looking at him fixedly. His eyes were very sincere, which put Zhao Hai in an even more difficult position.
To be honest, Zhao Hai and Wales' current relationship hadn't reached the point of a Blood Oath. But since Wales brought it up, if he didn't agree, then it would be too hurtful.
Wales' personality was different from his. He didn't have much ambition, but Wales did. He wasn't arrogant, but Wales was. The two didn't seem to have much in common, but fate had linked them together.
Looking at Wales' appearance, Zhao Hai suddenly wanted to laugh. Becoming sworn brothers? He never thought of such a thing. Even when he was on Earth, he didn't think of it. He didn't think that he would be asked to become sworn brothers by a man with a bull's head when he came to another world. This was really interesting.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai's mood suddenly became better. If he really calculated it, he didn't lose anything. If he became sworn brothers with Wales, then he would do his best to help Wales become the Herculean Bull Tribe's chieftain. Even if he didn't become sworn brothers, wouldn't he be helping Wales become the chieftain? Then what was the difference between becoming sworn brothers and not? Maybe the difference was just a formality.
Zhao Hai suddenly laughed and stood up, "Then what are we waiting for, my brother Wales!"
Wales heard Zhao Hai's words and let out a long sigh. Then he stood up and laughed, "Good, my brother, I was waiting for you to say that. Sixth brother, teacher, let's get ready!"
Mendez and Yale responded and walked out of the tent. They still didn't understand Wales' actions, but they didn't object.
This kind of ceremony didn't need to be prepared. Beastmen didn't have as many formalities as humans. For beastmen, it was too troublesome to have so many formalities. They didn't need them.
After Mendez and Yale walked out of the tent, Wales also pulled Zhao Hai out of the tent. When they walked out of the tent, Mendez and the others were already prepared. Actually, there wasn't much to prepare. Yale brought a bowl, Mendez brought an argali, and a guard brought a flying axe.
Although flying axes were considered small handaxes among beastmen, don't forget that this small handaxes still weighed five kilograms. For beastmen with great strength, it wasn't a problem to chop off the head of an argali with one swing of the axe.
Once these three things were brought out, it meant that all the things needed for the ceremony were gathered. Zhao Hai and Wales came to the side of the argali. This argali was very large and was a mature argali. It was currently being forced to kneel on the ground by two Herculean Bull warriors.
Wales walked to the side of the argali and turned to look at Zhao Hai, "My brother, according to the rules of the Beheading Blood Oath, two people must chop off the argali's head together. But I don't think your body can lift the axe, right?"
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly, "My brother, not only can I not lift the axe, I can't chop off the argali's head either. I think I'll leave the task of chopping off the argali's head to you. How about I take the argali's blood?"
Wales laughed loudly, "Alright, my brother, let's do it." After saying that, he picked up the handaxe, while Zhao Hai picked up the big bowl and stood beside the argali under Mendez's command.
Zhao Hai had never killed so violently before, so he didn't know how to take the argali's blood. Mendez had seen people do it before, but not during the Beheading Blood Oath.
Soon, everyone was ready. When Wales saw that Zhao Hai was in position, he immediately roared and swung his hatchet. This hatchet was like a bolt of lightning as it slashed across the argali's neck. This hatchet was really too sharp, and with Wales' monstrous strength, this hatchet didn't seem to be blocked at all. The hatchet neatly chopped off the argali's head.
The argali's head flew far away. Blood spurted out like a fountain from the blood pressure. Mendez was indeed experienced. The position he pointed to for Zhao Hai was really good. The blood spurted out in front of Zhao Hai, but not a single drop landed on him.
Zhao Hai didn't immediately take the blood. He waited until the argali's blood spurted out less fiercely. Only then did he reach out the bowl in his hand and take a bowl full of argali's blood.
At this time, Wales also handed the axe in his hand to the subordinates beside him. The two people who were holding down the argali also carried it away. They had to deal with it immediately. They would eat the argali in a while.
