Inside the Flaming River Castle, in the open space in front of the Flaming River Tower, there were three people facing the totemic flames on the wall. One of them had flames that were clearly different from the others.
The flames on the Yanjiao people present varied in strength and height, but there wasn't much of a difference.
However, Shao Xuan, who was originally standing with the current chief and shaman of Yanjiao, suddenly had flames rising from his body. This gave everyone a fright.
The people who were still shocked by the flames on the Yanjiao people shifted their attention to Shao Xuan because of this change.
The sudden rise of the flames was almost as tall as the Flaming River Tower. It continued to rise until it reached a height that everyone in the vicinity could only look up at.
This was why Abuli was looking up instead of at eye level. What he saw was the flames on Shao Xuan's body rising.
After the soaring pillar of flames stopped rising, it began to spread out in all directions. The pillar of flames grew thicker and there were even more flames floating out from it.
Seeing this change, the Yanjiao people were only shocked for a moment before they calmed down. There was even a hint of joy in their eyes.
This was why Shao Xuan was able to firmly occupy the position of Grand Elder and monopolize all six bone ornaments that only Elders had the right to wear. No one complained because of this.
Not everyone could wear these bone ornaments.
The six bone ornaments represented the will of their ancestors. As for this flame giant, it would only appear when Shao Xuan wore it.
One of the reasons they held this ceremony after the banquet was to give an explanation to their deceased ancestors. Now, the bone ornaments had a reaction. Although the flames weren't as solid as before, everyone could see that this was the flame giant! The flame giant that represented the first generation of ancestors!
The will of their ancestors had appeared!
This made the Yanjiao people present extremely excited. While their eyes filled with tears, they also calmed down.
Their mood at the moment was like a very hardworking student who had done his best to hand in an answer sheet. Then, a teacher who they had been looking forward to and worshipping finally appeared and gave them a good review. It would be strange if they were not happy.
The six bone ornaments left behind by the first Shaman of Yanjiao had helped them a lot. Without the six bone ornaments and the power of their ancestors, Yanjiao would not have been able to merge so quickly and smoothly. Whether it was the shock of being chased by the slave masters on the other side of the sea, or the return of breaking through the sea, he had borrowed the power of the ancestral bone ornaments.
However, after the bone ornament broke through the sea, it seemed to have exhausted its energy and entered a dormant state. There were very few large fluctuations.
When they were planning this sacrifice, they didn't expect the bone ornaments to suddenly work. This was a pleasant surprise.
Perhaps it was because the power of the bone ornaments had not fully recovered, but the flames that gradually formed after it was raised seemed a little scattered. It was not solid enough, and the human figure was not clear enough. Even so, the Yanjiao people were very satisfied. They wanted nothing more than to kneel down and kowtow a few times.
Outside the Flaming River Trading Point, in the forest.
The tribesmen who came to attend the feast all left some people outside to wait. These people had to keep an eye on the Flaming River Trading Point and guard against any suspicious situations outside the trading point.
Other than them, there were also some people who were not invited. They came because they were curious, so they hid in the forest.
At that time, when the feast in the trading area started, the aroma of the food floated out, causing the people hiding in the forest to salivate. Their stomachs couldn't help but growl. They could only drink some water with the smell of soil and chew on the hard jerky.
The sudden burst of flames in the trading area naturally attracted their attention.
"Flaming … Flaming River Trading Point … is on fire? What happened?! "someone cried out in shock.
Just now, they felt a very uncomfortable aura coming from the Flaming River Trading Point. They understood this. After all, this was Yanjiao's territory. It was normal to feel this way in someone else's territory. They didn't feel this way before and they were not used to it. But what was going on with this ferocious fire?
"Could it be … the Yanjiao tribesmen finally made a move?" The person who spoke used his hand as a knife and made a chopping motion.
"It can't be. Would the Yanjiao people be so stupid? Also, those few tribes that went in, forget about those small tribes, would people like the Mang tribe, the Thousand Masks tribe, and the Eight Limbs tribe be killed without a sound? The Hui tribe and Tian Shan tribe's eagles are still around, but they didn't come close. "
There were indeed eagles from the Hui tribe and Tian Shan tribe nearby, but they weren't hovering in the air right now. Instead, they were resting on trees or protruding rocks further away from the Flaming River Trading Point, observing the movements of the Flaming River Trading Point.
They didn't hear the whistle that signaled an incident. None of the tribesmen who went in blew the whistle.
"Let's wait and see!"
The people hiding in the forest stared nervously at the trading point. Their nerves were taut, and they were ready to rush over at any moment.
At the same time, the people who saw this scene in the Flaming River Trading Point were also shocked.
Especially those in the Flaming River Castle who were observing closely. Their emotions were extremely complicated. If the aura of the fire seed in Yanjiao was shocking enough, and then the 'spontaneous combustion' of the Yanjiao tribesmen was shocking enough. Now, the change in Shao Xuan's body was like a pot of oil being poured into a burning fire. It sizzled and burned everyone's nerves.
They couldn't understand it, couldn't imagine it. This was a completely different world from what they used to know. All the views they had in the past had to be changed.
Blood and fire of the same origin …
This was the only reason why the Yanjiao tribesmen could cause such a commotion even though they didn't have a fire seed. Even if it was just a guess, they still couldn't calm down when they saw it for themselves. As for what they were seeing now, it was no longer something that could be explained by blood and fire of the same origin. This was probably a unique ability of the Yanjiao tribe, a power passed down by Yanjiao's ancestors. Outsiders couldn't obtain it.
They could only continue watching from the side. They wanted to see what Yanjiao's Grand Elder was up to.
At this moment, Shao Xuan also didn't expect the dormant bone ornaments to suddenly become active.
The totemic power, the power of inheritance, and that special power in his body were rapidly being drawn out. The six bone ornaments hanging in front of his chest spun wildly like a whirlpool, sucking in Shao Xuan's power.
This was different from the previous few times.
In the past, these six bone ornaments either appeared on their own without Shao Xuan providing too much power. The timing of their appearance wasn't chosen by Shao Xuan either.
Or, Shao Xuan used his own power to activate the bone ornaments. Just like when the bone ornaments couldn't hold on anymore after breaking through the sea, Shao Xuan used his own power to support them.
But now, the bone ornaments' power hadn't been activated by Shao Xuan. It could be said that they had appeared on their own. They just needed Shao Xuan's power to support them.
The bone ornaments hadn't recovered. Shao Xuan thought of the reason.
Perhaps the remnant will left in the bone ornaments by the ancestor was too happy at this momentous banquet, so it had popped out on its own?
Perhaps it was because of the ancestor's will, but Shao Xuan's emotions were affected by the sudden surge of power from the bone ornaments. It was as if he wanted to howl at the top of his lungs.
Sure enough, the ancestor must be very happy.
Shao Xuan moved under the influence of this emotion.
The Yanjiao people: "...."
Their gazes moved from the tall flame giant to Shao Xuan. Their gazes went from boundless reverence to astonishment, and then to shock.
Wait! Grand Elder, what are you doing?!
Don't raise your foot! Show mercy!
We're still standing by your side, Grand Elder. Look at us!
Please don't step on us! Please don't step on us!
The Yanjiao people present, whether they'd seen Shao Xuan use the ancestor's power with their own eyes, or heard about it later, all thought the same thing when they saw Shao Xuan's sudden movement.
All the Flaming Horn tribesmen, including the current chief and shamaness, as well as Duo Kang and the other leaders, turned pale with fright when they saw this. It was just that their faces were covered by the flames, so it wasn't obvious.
If Shao Xuan raised his foot and stomped down, all the effort they'd put into this banquet would go to waste. Not only would they not be able to show off the Yanjiao tribe's strength, they'd be laughed at.
If they were kicked at such a close distance, even if they didn't die, they'd be seriously injured.
Especially Zheng Luo, Duo Kang, and the others who'd seen the flame giant's power with their own eyes. Their hands were shaking. Years ago, when they'd migrated from their habitat by the sea, they'd met the slave masters who'd chased after them. They'd seen Shao Xuan use the ancestor's bone ornaments' power to stomp on the ground. Then, the ground had cracked like an earthquake. It'd also temporarily intimidated the pursuers, stopping them from continuing to chase after them.
He could crack the ground, fight against a king beast, and break through the sea. Could they withstand this kind of power?!
They thought about how the ground had cracked when he stomped on it, and how large chunks of rock had been flipped over. Then, they thought about what would happen if they replicated that scene here.
They thought about the time they'd met the king beast at the salt mines. They hadn't even seen how Shao Xuan used the ancestor's bone ornaments' power before they were all sent flying and buried in the snow. Every one of them was trembling in fear.
The more they thought about it, the more scared they became. Zheng Luo and the others paled even further.
Grand Elder, please don't do this!
But from the looks of it, Shao Xuan didn't seem like he wanted to do this on purpose. Maybe, maybe, it was the ancestor's idea?
They really wanted to stop Shao Xuan from doing what he was about to do, but due to their reverence for their ancestor, they didn't dare act rashly. As they hesitated, Shao Xuan moved again.
This time, Shao Xuan didn't move his feet. Instead, he moved his hands.
Shao Xuan raised his arms casually. The blurry flame giant in the air also seemed to raise its arms.
Seeing this, the Yanjiao people breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Shao Xuan didn't raise his feet. They were so scared that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. In the past, during sacrifices, the flame giant representing their ancestor had also raised its arms as if cheering. That was why they could finally relax.
So the ancestor wanted to cheer. We were so scared … Wait!
Eh?
Eh!
Eh!
