In the Wan Shi tribe.
In the Witch's house.
The door where the skull of a beast was hanging was pulled open.
The Witch, with colorful totem patterns on his face, walked out, sweating. He hurried to the chief's house.
The chief of the Wan Shi tribe was enjoying being served by the female captives he caught last year. He was unhappy to be disturbed by the Witch.
"What's the matter?"
The Witch rushed in, panting, and said, "There's a change in the Fearsome Beast Forest!"
The Wan Shi chief suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes became as sharp as a poisoned knife. "Are you sure?"
What happened in the Fearsome Beast Forest last year made the Wan Shi chief feel like he had been slapped in the face. It was always their tribe that slaughtered, invaded, bullied, and robbed others. Before that, he had never felt so frustrated! Every time he thought of that, he felt like someone was waiting to slap him in the face. He also strictly forbade anyone from talking about it. It would damage the reputation of the Wan Shi tribe. No one was allowed to mention it. Anyone who mentioned it would be killed. So far, he had killed more than ten people who talked too much.
That incident was a thorn in the Wan Shi chief's throat that he could not pull out. But because of the previous casualties, he did not send anyone to the Fearsome Beast Forest.
"I'm sure. Just now, that ominous feeling was very strong. I felt …" The Wan Shi shaman's tone was unsteady. He could hear his heart beating faster than usual.
"What did you feel?"
"I felt …" Looking into the chief's bloody eyes, the Wan Shi shaman lowered his head and said nothing.
"Speak!"
The Wan Shi shaman took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Suppression of the fire seed!"
The air in the house suddenly froze.
The few women who had been serving their leader with a smile just now were now trembling like a sieve, but they didn't make a single sound, for fear that they would be noticed because of the sound they made.
They had been serving their leader for some time now and were familiar with her temper. At this moment, the leader was extremely angry.
They didn't know that the Wan Shi chief was not only angry, but also scared. These two emotions mixed together and made him lose focus for a moment. But then he came back to his senses and smashed the wooden table beside him into pieces. The violent totem power made the Evil Spirit around him stronger and stronger. His red eyes looked at the women who were huddled around him.
The people patrolling near the leader's house suddenly heard screams and screams coming from the leader's house. Soon, the screams stopped abruptly.
Bang!
The wooden door was kicked open from the inside out and shattered into pieces.
A man covered in blood walked out of the house in large strides. Every step he took was like a hammer pounding on the hearts of the patrolling guards, causing them to breathe carefully. They were worried that their leader would take his anger out on them.
Fortunately, the chief of the Wan Shi tribe didn't pay attention to them. He strode away, heading for the fire pit.
After the Wan Shi chief, the Wan Shi shaman also came out. His face was expressionless. When he passed by the guards, he paused and said to them, "Clean up the house."
"Yes!" The patrolman replied. They knew what the shaman meant by "things" in the house.
After the chief and the shaman left, the patrolmen walked into the house and cleaned up the bloodstains and mutilated corpses. It was not the first time that they had dealt with such things. They didn't care about the blood in the house at all. While cleaning up, they whispered to each other about why the chief was so angry.
When the Wan Shi chief came to the fire pit, he was terrified when he saw the fire that was smaller than usual. Although the shaman told him about it, he couldn't control his emotions when he saw it with his own eyes.
The Wan Shi shaman stood ten steps away from the chief. Based on his understanding of the chief, he would be in trouble if he stood too close to him.
"Gather the people! I want to go to the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest in person!! "
With these words, the pebbles at the Wan Shi chief's feet were all broken into pieces.
For the people of the Wan Shi tribe, it was not a peaceful night. The chief was angry, and everyone was trembling with fear. They heard that they would go to the Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest tomorrow, which made them even more worried. They wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
On the other side, the Yanjiao tribe was immersed in the joy of the sacrifice. They didn't know what kind of people would come to their old haunt. They were absorbing the energy of the fire crystals.
The Three Flames of the fire pit had been completed. Looking at the Third Flame, the shaman said it was good luck.
In the past, after the Three Flames of the fire pit were completed, the sacrifice would come to an end. After the chief and the shaman announced something, they would disperse and go home. But today, after the Third Flame, the fire in the fire pit was taken back. The shaman took out the fire crystals that everyone had been waiting for.
After waiting for a whole winter, the time finally came. Every totem warrior was absorbing the energy released from the fire pit and integrating it into their bodies. This situation didn't happen every year.
Except for those who hadn't awakened their totem power, Shao Xuan was the most relaxed one.
The energy of the fire crystals didn't have a direct effect on his improvement. However, in order not to stand out too much, he still stayed with the others. Unlike the others, he didn't absorb the energy. Instead, he was thinking about the mysterious state when he performed the Sacrificial Dance.
What he saw at that time should be the prosperity of the Yanjiao tribe, not the current scene. That scene was similar to what he saw in the old haunt.
The old haunt …
When the tribe went back with the fire seed, there should be more changes there.
When the fire crystals in the fire pit were used up, it was almost dawn.
Everyone absorbed different amounts of fire crystal energy. Some absorbed more, some absorbed less. Some absorbed faster, some slower. The faster ones didn't leave after absorbing all the fire crystal energy. Instead, they urged the totem power in their bodies to digest the absorbed energy and fuse it with the fire crystal energy.
Some people who were close to the breakthrough point were promoted to a new level on the spot. The young warriors couldn't restrain the joy on their faces when they saw the totem tattoos extending over their elbows. But because the sacrifice was not over, they didn't dare to make a sound. They could only try to hold back their laughter, clenching their teeth and fists. Their faces were distorted.
The shaman glanced at them and smiled.
After announcing the end of the sacrifice, everyone left one after another. Those who had a good relationship with each other would talk more tonight and celebrate together.
"After a few days, when they are stable, summarize the situation and report it to me." The chief said to the people next to him.
"Yes!"
The one hundred totem warriors who were going to awaken their totem power tonight, including Yan Zhi and the others, all succeeded in awakening their totem power and becoming totem warriors.
Jiao Wu almost couldn't hold back his laughter and began to cry. Yan Zhi, Yan Shuo and the others also had tears in their eyes.
The children next to them didn't understand why these people, who were older than them, were crying. Although it was very proud to awaken their totem power and become totem warriors, they didn't need to be so excited.
The shaman didn't say anything and asked people to take these new warriors to the side. Tonight, he had to teach these new warriors a lesson.
"Let's go, Xuan!" Old Ke sat on the wolf's back and shouted at the edge of the top of the mountain.
"Coming!" Shao Xuan looked away from the fire pit and towards Old Ke and Caesar.
"You … have you been promoted?" Old Ke patted his wrist.
He was asking Shao Xuan if he could be promoted from an intermediate totem warrior to a senior totem warrior. The totem tattoos on the arms of senior totem warriors could go over their wrists. Because Shao Xuan was wearing a sacrificial animal costume, Old Ke couldn't see the totem tattoos on his arms, so he asked.
Shao Xuan shook his head.
Old Ke's expectant eyes dimmed, but then he smiled and said, "It's okay, take your time."
Old Ke just saw that many people had been promoted by one level tonight. In his opinion, Shao Xuan was a very excellent and talented warrior, so he should be promoted by a lot. But when he saw Shao Xuan shake his head, he was worried that Shao Xuan would think too much and be too depressed, so he put aside his disappointment and comforted Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan smiled and didn't say anything.
When they went down the mountain, Shao Xuan was stopped by Lang Ga and the others. Many people in the hunting group had been promoted by a lot, and Mai had directly become a senior totem warrior. Everyone was happy. As the leader of the hunting group, Mai waved his hand and called all the warriors in the hunting group together to celebrate. And Shao Xuan, who was the biggest contributor, naturally couldn't be left out.
"You go." Old Ke smiled and his eyes narrowed. He patted Shao Xuan's shoulder, and then patted Caesar's head, "Let's go back first."
After a winter's rest and recuperation, plus the fire seed energy and fire crystal energy he absorbed during the ritual ceremony, Old Ke now felt that he had returned to the time when he was young. He was full of strength, and the improvement of his body was very obvious. Although he had lost a leg, he could walk down the mountain easily with a crutch. However, Old Ke didn't walk. He rode on a wolf, and under the disdainful eyes of Ge and other old acquaintances, he slowly went down the mountain while humming the "Hunting Song".
Before the first hunting this year, the Shaman and the Chief got the statistics, and the result made them very happy.
Originally, there were only more than ten senior totem warriors, and two of them were old warriors. Compared with the young and middle-aged warriors, their fighting strength was naturally inferior. But this time, there were twenty more young and middle-aged senior totem warriors! According to the report, although many people didn't succeed in the breakthrough, they were close to the turning point. It was believed that they were not far away from the breakthrough.
"Good! Very good! "
In order to go back to the old land, the Shaman and the Chief naturally hoped that there would be more powerful warriors in the tribe. After all, when they went there, they would have to face more challenges, from people and ferocious beasts. Only with more powerful strength could they go back and stand firm.
"How's the ship building?" The Chief asked the warrior next to him.
"Still trying." The warrior reported the progress of the ship building to the Chief and the Shaman.
"It's too slow." Ao said.
Because they were looking forward to going back to the old land, naturally they were not satisfied with the current progress.
"It's not urgent." The Shaman said. However, even though he said that, his next sentence was to discuss with the leader whether or not they should dig a large pool near the training ground, the kind that didn't have wood-eating insects. It would be good for the shipbuilders to test the ships that they built. After all, it was related to the fate of the entire tribe.
Digging a big pool was not a small project. Choosing a place, digging a hole, drawing water, and other processes were not easy.
However, Ao agreed without hesitation.
