According to the previous sacrificial procedures, the sacrificial ceremony would be over when the third Flame ended. However, tonight was different.
Even the newly awakened warriors did not have the time to rejoice over the fact that they had become totem warriors. They were shocked by the flame giant that had just appeared. Although the giant had disappeared into the fire pit along with the retracted flame, the shock that came from the bottom of his heart lingered for a long time.
Not only because of the giant flame giant's appearance, but also because of the feeling that the flame giant gave them. After seeing it, they threw away all thoughts and wanted to kneel down immediately.
The Shaman Elder breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Chief Ao. Then they both looked at Shao Xuan.
Whether it was the Shaman or the Chief, their eyes were full of joy.
"Everyone!" The Chief Ao's deep voice sounded on the ground, which brought the people who were still immersed in the feeling back to reality.
"I, Ao, the current Chief of the Yanjiao tribe, accept Xuan as the 'Elder' of the tribe according to the will of our ancestors!" Ao said solemnly.
After the Chief, the Shaman also said, "I, the current Shaman of the Yanjiao tribe, accept Xuan as the 'Elder' of the tribe according to the will of our ancestors!"
The people who had just come back to reality were stunned when they heard the Chief and the Shaman's words.
Elder? Did they mean Shao Xuan?
They had also heard that there were elders in other tribes, but they were all old men who had made countless contributions in their respective tribes. They were also very strong, and most of them had competed for the position of chief. There were even some tribes that accepted the position of elder after the chief retired, but they had never heard of such a young elder!
The old people of the Flaming Horns tribe only had an impression of the Elders when they were cremated. They didn't have much concept of this word, but since the shamaness and the chief said it, it was indisputable. What's more, the shamaness and the chief said "in accordance with the will of the ancestors". That was the will of the ancestors, who could refute? Who dared to refute it? If anyone dared to refute it, he would be beaten up!
Shao Xuan handed the bone ornament to the Shaman and held a formal conferring ceremony. After that, he told the whole tribe that from now on, Shao Xuan was the "Elder" of the Yanjiao tribe, second only to the Chief and the Shaman.
The Shaman held the bone ornament that glowed with flames. His hands were trembling because he was too excited. He could feel a sense of intimacy coming from the bone ornament. It was the power of a Junior Shaman, the most powerful Junior Shaman in the history of the tribe! At the same time, the power in his body that had been consumed because of the ceremony was rapidly recovering.
In the crowd, Old Ke's face was flushed because of his emotions. His sunken eyes were filled with tears. Who would have thought that the child who came out of the cave, who couldn't even fill his stomach, would become what he was today and obtain such a high status?
In the whole tribe, the old people of the Yanjiao tribe had to obey the Shaman and the Chief unconditionally. Even Ta and Guigou, the two team leaders, couldn't make everyone obey them. But now, there seemed to be one more. According to the Shaman and the Chief, the Elders had a higher status than the team leaders. When the Shaman and the Chief made important decisions, the Elders could also participate and refute.
After the conferring ceremony of the Elders, the ceremony was over.
The new totem warriors were gathered in one place, waiting for the Shaman's instruction. The others went back together. From today on, they were no longer wanderers, but real Yanjiao tribesmen!
This time, there were less than two thousand awakened people, including the children who had reached the age and the wanderers who came back. The specific number was still being counted. This was similar to what Shao Xuan had expected.
Shao Xuan asked Old Ke and Caesar to go back first. The Chief wanted to talk to him about the bone ornaments.
The people gathered around the fire pit gradually dispersed. The families of those who succeeded in awakening were very happy. They went back to celebrate with their friends. Except for the children, those who failed in awakening were much less likely to be awakened in the future.
A thin woman looked very depressed. She just smiled and said nothing to the comfort of the people around her. There were many people like her, so she was not conspicuous in the crowd.
When she walked out of the crowd step by step, her husband was waiting there anxiously. During the ceremony, there were wanderers from other tribes, and her husband was one of them.
"How is it?" Seeing his wife coming over, the man strode forward.
The woman shook her head.
People passing by saw the simple and honest man awkwardly comforting his wife, and they understood. They comforted him and sighed and left.
The frustrated couple in people's eyes walked out of the field, went back to their wooden house, and closed the door.
The simple and honest look on the man's face disappeared. His face became dignified and helpless. He took out some herbs and mashed them, put them in a clay pot, added water, lit a fire, and boiled the medicine.
These herbs did not have a strong smell like other herbs. When they were boiled, they had a faint smell of grass. If one was not careful and stood a little far away, one would not be able to smell it.
The thin woman, after the door and window were closed, quickly became pale. She could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, as if she had exhausted all her strength. If she had not been sitting on the stool with the help of the wooden table, she would have fallen down directly.
"I miscalculated." The man looked at the clay pot and said.
The woman gasped and sat on the stool beside the wooden table. She did not say anything, for she was afraid that she would spit out blood again.
When the medicine was boiled, she drank it and rested for a while. Then she slowly said, "If the flame giant did not appear suddenly, I would not be like this!"
Originally, their plan was to observe the Yanjiao tribe during the ceremony to see if there were any precious treasures. Generally speaking, the treasures taken out during the ceremony were extremely precious.
However, this time, they miscalculated.
They were acting as a young couple. The man was from another tribe, and the woman was from Yanjiao bloodline. During the ceremony, they stood in different places, because this time the wanderers with Yanjiao bloodline would be closer to the front, so that it would be easier for them to awaken.
If the totem warriors from another tribe wanted to join the Yanjiao tribe, they had to go through the ceremony to be accepted by the fire seed. Otherwise, they would be rejected by the fire seed. No one would want to experience that kind of feeling. But if they were wanderers with no religion, the repulsion of the fire seed would be much smaller.
They had not received such a ceremony, and at the same time, they were not wanderers without any religion.
When the flames in the fire pit spread, she felt that her whole body was like thorns, and it was burning. However, she could bear such pain. They had experienced many similar situations, so their endurance was naturally different from ordinary people.
However, they did not expect that a flame giant would suddenly appear! The repulsion of the fire seed was doubled at that time. Moreover, the flame giant gave her a very strong deterrent force. At that time, she almost spat out blood, but she forced it back. Fortunately, at that time, the people around her were paying attention to the situation in the fire pit. No one paid attention to her, or she would have been exposed.
She remembered that the situation at that time was like a weak beast facing a giant beast. She had no power to resist. Thinking about it now, she still had a lingering fear. Thanks to her long-term experience and superb disguise, she avoided the people around her.
