Seeing the stone in the shaman's hand, Shao Xuan knew why he came.
On the other side of the sea, Shao Xuan found traces of crocodiles in the forest. He also found many stones left by the crocodiles. He just wanted to check it out, but he didn't expect to find something useful. Unlike the water moon stone, which could only be used after absorbing Yang Guang's power, Shao Xuan called it the water sun stone.
At that time, Shao Xuan made a lot of water sun stones. When they crossed the sea, the people on the other side also brought the stones over. But after coming here, the water sun stone was more convenient and less expensive, so people used it more often.
It should be the Drumming tribe people who saw Yanjiao warriors using the water sun stone.
Seeing Shao Xuan come in, the shaman of the Drumming tribe looked away from the stone in his hand. He was quite excited.
"I took the liberty of coming here to ask Elder Shao Xuan, where did you get this stone?"
Shao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "These stones were brought over from the other side of the sea."
The shaman nodded. He already knew this, "Elder Shao Xuan, can you tell me the origin of this stone in detail?"
"Sure."
Shao Xuan told the shaman about how he found the stone, but he didn't explain the process in detail. "At that time, I just wanted to try. I didn't expect to succeed. Maybe it's because my power of inheritance is special."
The shaman's expression was very subtle. He couldn't figure it out. He could understand finding a stone left by crocodiles in a distant place. After all, crocodiles weren't the only ones in the Drumming tribe. There were groups of crocodiles in many places. But how did Shao Xuan, a Yanjiao man, make this stone?
Wasn't it exclusive to the Drumming tribe?!
But Shao Xuan wouldn't tell his secret. He could only say this.
So, after staring at the stone in his hand for a while, the shaman said, "I don't know if you have more of these stones?" After a pause, he added, "Stones left by unformed treasure fish."
"Yes."
"Can I borrow … cough." The shaman of the Drumming tribe suddenly remembered that his tribe had a huge debt. He hadn't paid it back yet, and now he had to borrow it again. However, this matter was different. He had to borrow it, or else he would keep thinking about it.
"Sure, wait a moment."
Shao Xuan went back and took one of the stones he brought back. When he decided to cross the sea, Shao Xuan brought a few raw stones with him. Since the Shaman of the Drumming tribe wanted to have a look, there was no harm in giving them one.
Holding the stone that Shao Xuan handed over, the shaman of the Drumming tribe carefully observed it. Although the shape was similar, he could feel that it was not left behind by the crocodiles of their tribe. There was a strange smell on it that they could recognize. However, they were closer to the crocodiles after all. Even though they knew that it was an unfamiliar aura, they did not reject it.
"This … Can I borrow it for a few days?" The Drumming shaman asked carefully. There was nothing he could do about it. In front of his creditor, he was always short of breath.
"No problem." Shao Xuan did not mind.
"Thank you!" The shaman of the Drumming tribe thanked him sincerely. Then, he carefully put the stone into his pouch. He thought of something and looked at Shao Xuan, "Elder Shao Xuan, you said that you changed the stone left behind by Baoyu?"
"Yes."
"You didn't use the power of the fire seed? I mean, you did it with your own ability? "
"Yes."
"How is that possible?" The shaman of the Drumming tribe was puzzled.
The Drumming tribe only produced water moon stones when the moon was full. Under the stimulation of the fire seed, the stones would form in the Water Moon Passage. But why would something like what Shao Xuan said happen?
If they didn't see the stone that was different from the Water Moon Stone, they wouldn't have believed it.
Before leaving, the shaman of the Drumming tribe asked a question. He didn't expect to get an answer, but he couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't feel Yanjiao's fire seed. Did something happen?"
Ever since the day they moved here from Yanjiao, the Drumming tribe didn't feel any suppression or rejection from the fire seed. At first, they didn't notice it. At that time, the impact of the disaster was too great. Then, something big happened by the river. They didn't have time to think about anything else. Then, everything stabilized. It was terrifying.
They couldn't feel the fire seed!
Moreover, these Yanjiao people seemed to have changed since the first time they met them. They couldn't tell why, but they could feel that they were different from the first time they met the Yanjiao people.
A tribe without a fire seed would become a wanderer. This was something everyone on the mainland knew. But now, they couldn't feel Yanjiao's fire seed. What was strange was that the Yanjiao people didn't lose their power. Instead, they seemed to be stronger. They were also more daring in their actions. For example, in the outer circle …
"We're fine." Shao Xuan said. "As for the fire seed, it's not in the fire pit anymore."
The shaman of the Drumming tribe was confused. "Not in the fire pit?" He still didn't understand. "If the fire seed isn't in the fire pit, where else could it be?"
Shao Xuan looked at him meaningfully. Then, he pointed at his forehead. "Here, and …" He moved his hand to his chest and pointed at his heart. "Here."
The shaman of the Drumming tribe narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something, but he wasn't sure what it was. His mind was a mess. He could only vaguely feel something.
After sitting in a daze for a while, the shaman of the Drumming tribe suddenly woke up. He looked around. Shao Xuan had already left. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there alone. Someone poured a new cup of herbal tea on the table in front of him. But the tea was already cold. Someone had added more wood to the fire beside him. He didn't notice any of this. He was thinking about Shao Xuan's words just now.
After moving his slightly stiff body, the shaman of the Drumming tribe stood up. He touched the stone inside the pouch and walked out to the riverbank.
There were Yanjiao warriors patrolling the riverbank. They stood on the watchtower and greeted the shaman of the Drumming tribe.
The shaman of the Drumming tribe smiled in response. Then, he stepped onto the ice on the river.
His footsteps were so shallow that they couldn't even be seen. He stepped on the ice step by step, making a soft creaking sound. The ice on the riverbank was slightly thicker. He didn't have to worry about the ice breaking.
He walked until he reached the place where the crocodile was waiting. Before he stepped onto the crocodile's back, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Yanjiao tribe.
As a shaman, he was more sensitive to the power of the fire seed. He could feel things that others couldn't.
The Yanjiao fire seed was indeed gone. But this was only on the surface. He could feel the burning heat of the Yanjiao fire seed in places that people couldn't see. It was there, on that mountain, everywhere!
Thinking back to what Shao Xuan said in the stone house, the shaman of the Drumming tribe took a deep breath and stepped onto the crocodile's back.
The back of the crocodile, which was more than ten meters long, surfaced from the water. Its swaying tail left ripples in the water. Under the water, there were some unwilling piranhas wandering around, but they didn't come close.
The shaman of the Drumming tribe looked in the direction of his tribe. He was deep in thought. The Yanjiao people seemed to have chosen a different path. How would the Drumming tribe choose?
