Chapter 23 Changes
Because of Shao Xuan's joining, the sacrificial activity has produced such a small episode that is different from previous years. Even though the tribe's people have thought about it, what they are most concerned about now is the children who are awakening by the fire pit.
Sai felt the obvious changes in his body and the totem patterns that had appeared on his arms, and he was ecstatic. However, at this time, he suddenly joined someone next to him, so he could naturally notice it. Sai looked over and saw Shao Xuan covered with a ball of fire.
Injustice—home—road—narrow!
Isn’t this guy still young? He is only ten years old after today’s Snow Festival, right? Why is he here?!
Looking at the man who was two years younger than him, Sai was shocked and confused. When she thought of the group beating before winter, Sai was so angry that she was originally very excited to be left by the witch. She thought of waking up the totem and following the hunting team to hunt a bigger beast, then walking a few laps from the hole, enviing those people, especially Shao Xuan. But now? What's going on?
Since Shao Xuan was thrown here, he noticed that the person standing next to him was in a race, but he has no intention of arguing with this kid now.
Before, she had been watching from a distance, but now Shao Xuan can finally feel the tribe's fire pit up close. It seems like he is in a sea of fire, but there is no burning feeling. He only feels warm all over his body, and the coolness that has not completely dissipated in winter has been baked to a point.
The patterns on the children by the fire pit are fiery red, like flames drilling into their bodies, awakening the power that is sleeping in the flesh and blood. They are even more restrained.
But Shao Xuan's side is much more violent.
The fire ball that was originally gathered on the top of the head had spread under her body. There was a fire in front of Shao Xuan's eyes. I don't know if it was the fire floating from the fire pit or the burning from the top of his head.
Shao Xuan felt a little swelling and pain in his brain, his body temperature increased, and the heat flow gathered at the center of his eyebrows, and then began to spread from the center of his eyebrows, his forehead, face, neck, torso, and limbs...
Without a mirror, Shao Xuan could not see the changes on his face. Seeing that other children had fire-colored totem patterns on their faces, he should be the same. Feeling the heat flow spreading from his shoulders to his arms, Shao Xuan looked at his arms.
Before, because there was fire on his head, he took off his animal skin coat and slapped the fire. After that, he did not wear it again and remained there. Shao Xuan is now wearing a sleeveless animal skin coat. The fire-colored totem patterns appear on his arms as the heat flow spreads, and it is clear that the fire-colored totem patterns appear on his arms.
The flames floating out of the fire pit became increasingly dense, and the flames in the fire pit also tended to expand outward. At this time, the tribe was busy praying, and Shao Xuan was covered with a fire ball, so it was less noticeable.
The flames rolling in the fire pit became more and more intense. Now the fire pit is no longer the little flame that Shao Xuan saw at the beginning. Now the whole fire pit seems to be a volcano ready to go, but it does not give people a sense of fear. Instead, it makes the people who see it have the urge to worship.
The witch's chanting had reached the third stage. When the last note fell, the witch raised her arms and shook them away from both sides. The gray-white animal skin cloak was immediately submerged by the spreading flames.
The third flame of the fire pit - Yanzhan.
The fire in the fire pit changed from the gentleness she had just now. What was pouring out was no longer a bunch of flames, but spread like magma. In the blink of an eye, the people who attended the ceremony on the top of the mountain were submerged and covered the mountain toward the bottom of the mountain.
Near the foot of the mountain, Caesar, who was left in the cave, retreated to the corner, staring at the entrance of the cave, and making a gurgling roar in his throat.
Outside the cave, there was already a fire.
The rapidly spreading flames enveloped the entire mountain, and did not burn every grass or tree here. It did not seem to have any lethality, but Caesar, who was hiding in the hole, was extremely afraid. If he could, he would want to dig a hole and drill in it now.
The night swallows that had already retreated to the edge of the residential area, looked at the fire getting closer and closer, and flew up again unwillingly, shaking their wings quickly to fly away.
Standing by the fire pit, the witch who had been keeping serious, couldn't help but show joy on her face. There was no need to look down at the mountain, he could already feel the range of the flames spreading.
It is larger than the scope of expansion in the past few years. No, since he inherited the wizard position, he has not encountered the third flame in the fire pit spreading so much!
good omen……
"Auspicious!" the witch shouted.
"Ji!" The tribe people cheered.
"The fire of the flame horn will never be extinguished!" Chief Ao also roared happily.
"The Fire of Flame Horn will never be extinguished!" The tribe's people agreed at the top of their voices, and they were so excited that they were like chicken blood. Since the witch said that the new year would be better, it must be! How can people not be excited or celebrated?
The spreading flame lasted for about half an hour before gradually dissipating from the bottom of the mountain. In the end, only the flames in the fire pit were still burning and tumbling. The totem above the flames always existed.
After that, the scene became less serious and much easier. People from the tribe need to vent their excitement, get together to talk and laugh and walk down the mountain, and after going back, find friends and relatives with good relationships to roast some meat, drink some fruit wine, and have a good sleep after eating and drinking to welcome the new year.
Ge also took the children in the cave down the mountain. They didn't have to worry about receiving attacks from Ye Yan. That night, no birds and beasts would enter their residence. Of course, Caesar was an exception.
Unlike most tribes, Shao Xuan and other children who awaken the power of totem must stay and stay in the mountain for a while, and they need to receive the second teaching of the witch.
Nearly eighty children, except for four, all the others woke up successfully. The other four children left in disappointment, but when they thought that they would wake up 100% next year, they were less depressed.
Shao Xuan and his party stayed by the fire pit. After all the others from the tribe left, they were taken to a stone house by several soldiers.
This stone house is naturally much more solid and spacious than the wooden houses that Shao Xuan saw at the foot of the mountain. He doesn't feel too crowded if he is about seventy children inside.
After awakening the power of the totem, it seemed that every inhalation and inhalation would be much easier. Every muscle and every bone on the body seemed to be reshaped, full of strength. Even though the whole person looked not much different from before, there had been a qualitative change inside.
However, Shao Xuan is still a little depressed now.
Look at other children either communicating with their sense of awakening or gesturing. If it weren't for someone watching, they would have wanted to compete on the spot.
After carefully looking at the people around him, Shao Xuan took a few steps forward and poked the person who was bragging with someone, "Oh, who is that?"
"What are you doing..." Sai, who was interrupted, turned around and took two steps back vigilantly before he finished speaking after seeing Shao Xuan. He probably 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 were still full of defense. Before he woke up, he was beaten up several times by the other party when he was taller and stronger than the other party. After he woke up, he did not dare to underestimate him.
"After you awaken, have your vision changed? Vision means that you look at things, and compared with before you awaken, are there any changes...?" Shao Xuan asked.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was asking this question, Sai raised his chin and said proudly: "Of course there are changes!"
The other children Shao Xuan didn't know heard them discussing this topic and joined in and talked about how far they could see clearly in the dim light. Compared with before awakening, their hearing, smell and vision have a great leap.
Only Shao Xuan was silent.
