Because of the Shao Xuan's participation, the ceremony was different from the previous years. Even though the people in the tribe had their own thoughts, they were more concerned about the children who were awakening their power by the fire pit.
Sai felt the obvious changes in his body and the totem patterns on his arms. He was overjoyed, but at this moment, someone suddenly joined him, so he naturally noticed it. Sai turned his head and saw Shao Xuan shrouded in a ball of fire.
The road of injustice is narrow!
Wasn't this guy still young? After today's Snow Festival, he would only be ten years old. Why was he here?!
Looking at the man who was two years younger than him, Sai was surprised and doubtful. Thinking of the time when he was beaten up by a group of people before the winter, Sai was full of anger. At first, he was very excited to be asked to stay by the Shaman. He planned to follow the hunting team to hunt for a bigger beast after awakening his totem, and then walk around the cave for a few laps. But now? What happened?
Since Shao Xuan was thrown into the room, he had noticed that Sai was standing next to him. However, he was not in the mood to argue with this kid.
Before, Shao Xuan had been watching from afar, but now he could finally feel the tribe's fire pit at a close distance. He felt like he was in a sea of fire, but he did not feel burned. He only felt warm all over, and the coldness of the winter was gone.
The totem patterns on the children by the fire pit were red, as if the flame had entered their bodies and awakened the power sleeping in their flesh and blood. They were more restrained.
But Shao Xuan's totem pattern was much fiercer.
The ball of fire that had gathered on top of his head had spread to the bottom of his body. Shao Xuan's eyes were filled with the color of fire. He did not know whether it was the fire from the fire pit or the fire from the top of his head.
Shao Xuan felt a little pain in his head, and his body temperature was rising. The heat gathered in between his eyebrows and began to spread from there to his forehead, face, neck, torso, limbs …
Without a mirror, Shao Xuan could not see the changes on his face. But since the totem patterns on the other children's faces were red, he should be the same. Shao Xuan felt the heat spreading from his shoulder to his arm. He looked at his arm.
Previously, because there was a fire on his head, he took off his animal skin coat to extinguish the fire. After that, he didn't put it back on and left it there. Right now, Shao Xuan was only wearing a sleeveless animal skin robe. The fiery totemic patterns on his arms could be seen clearly as the heat spread through his body.
The flames floating out of the fire pit were getting denser and denser, and the flames in the fire pit were also spreading outwards. The people in the tribe were busy praying at this time, so Shao Xuan was not so eye-catching as he was covered in flames.
The rolling flames in the fire pit became more and more intense. Now, the fire pit was no longer the small flame that Shao Xuan had seen at the beginning. Now, the entire fire pit was like a volcano that was ready to erupt. However, it didn't give people a sense of fear. Instead, it gave people an impulse to worship it.
The shaman's chanting had already reached the third stage. When the last note fell, the shaman raised his arms and swung them to the side. His grayish-white beast skin cloak was instantly engulfed in flames.
The third flame of the fire pit – Yan Zhan.
The fire in the fire pit was no longer gentle like before. Instead, it was spreading out like lava. In the blink of an eye, the people on the top of the mountain who were attending the ceremony were drowned, and then it covered the bottom of the mountain.
Near the foot of the mountain, Caesar, who was left in the cave, retreated to a corner. He stared at the entrance of the cave and growled in his throat.
Outside the cave, there was already a sea of fire.
The rapidly spreading flames covered the entire mountain, but it didn't burn any grass or trees here. It seemed harmless, but Caesar, who was hiding in the cave, was extremely afraid. If he could, he would dig a hole and hide in it right now.
The Night Swallow, who had retreated to the edge of the residential area, saw the flames getting closer and closer. They reluctantly flew up again, and quickly flapped their wings and flew away.
The shaman, who had been standing by the fire pit with a serious expression, couldn't help but show a happy expression. He didn't need to look down the mountain, he could already feel the range of the flames.
It was bigger than the range of the flames in the past few years. No, since he took over the position of shaman, he had never seen the third flame of the fire pit spread so far!
Auspicious …
"Auspicious!" The Shaman shouted.
"Auspicious!" The people in the tribe raised their arms and cheered.
"The Fire of Yanjiao will never die!" Chief Ao also shouted happily.
"The Fire of Yanjiao will never die!" The people in the tribe shouted in agreement. They were all so excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Since the Shaman said that the new year would be better, it must be! How could people not be excited and celebrate?
The spreading flames lasted for about half an hour, and then gradually began to dissipate from the foot of the mountain to the top. At last, only the flames in the fire pit were still burning and surging. The totem above the flames was still there.
After that, the scene was not so serious, and became much more relaxed. The people in the tribe needed to vent their excitement, so they gathered together and walked down the mountain, chatting and laughing. When they went back, they found their close friends and relatives to roast some meat and drink some fruit wine. After eating and drinking, they had a good sleep to welcome the new year.
Ge also took the children in the cave to walk down the mountain. They didn't need to worry about being attacked by the Night Swallow. Tonight, no birds or beasts would enter their residence. Of course, the Caesar was an exception.
Unlike most of the people in the tribe, Shao Xuan and the other children who had awakened their totemic power had to stay on the mountain for a while. They needed to receive the Shaman's second teaching.
Of the nearly eighty children, except for four, all awakened their totemic power successfully. The other four children left with disappointment, but when they thought that they would definitely awaken their totemic power next year, they were not so depressed.
Shao Xuan and the others stayed by the fire pit. After the other people in the tribe left, they were led to a stone house by a few warriors.
This stone house was much sturdier than the wooden houses Shao Xuan saw at the foot of the mountain. It was also much more spacious. Seventy children didn't feel crowded inside.
After awakening his totem power, it seemed that every breath he took had become much easier. Every muscle and every bone in his body seemed to have been reshaped and was filled with strength. Even if his entire person did not look much different from before, there had already been a qualitative change inside.
However, Shao Xuan was still a little depressed.
He looked at the other children, who were either talking about their awakening or gesturing with their hands and feet. If it weren't for the others watching, they would have competed with each other on the spot.
After carefully looking at the people around, Shao Xuan took a few steps forward and poked the person who was bragging to others. "Hey, you there."
"What …" Sai, who was interrupted, turned around and saw Shao Xuan. He didn't finish his sentence, so he took two steps back vigilantly. Perhaps he felt that it was too embarrassing to take two steps back, so he took another step forward.
"What are you doing?" Sai asked, his eyes still full of vigilance. Before his awakening, he was taller and stronger than Shao Xuan, but he was still beaten down several times. After his awakening, he didn't dare to underestimate Shao Xuan anymore.
"After your awakening, did your vision change? Vision, that is, what you see, compared to before your awakening, is there … any change? "Shao Xuan asked.
Hearing Shao Xuan's question, Sai raised his chin and said proudly, "Of course there is a change!"
The other children, who Shao Xuan didn't know, heard them talking about this topic, so they also joined in. They talked about how far they could see in the dim light. Compared to before their awakening, their hearing, smell, and vision had improved greatly.
Shao Xuan was the only one who kept silent.
He couldn't help it. He couldn't tell others that the people around him were all skeletons.
