Chapter 23: Change
Because of Shao Xuan's joining, the sacrificial activity had such a small episode that was different from previous years, even if the people of the tribe had their own thoughts, but what they were most concerned about now was the children who were awakening by the fire pond.
Sai felt the obvious changes in his body and the totem patterns that had appeared on his arms, and he was ecstatic in his heart, but at this time, a person suddenly joined next to him, and he could naturally detect it. Sai looked sideways and saw Shao Xuan covered with a fire.
Injustice - home - road - narrow!
Isn't this guy still young? After today's Snow Festival, he will be ten years old, right? Why is he here?!
Looking at the person who was two years younger than himself, Sai was shocked in his heart, thinking of being beaten by a group before the winter, Sai was angry, he was originally very excited to be left by the witch, thinking that after awakening the totem, he would follow the hunting team to hunt a bigger beast, and then walk a few laps from the cave, envying those people, especially Shao Xuan. But now, what's going on?
Shao Xuan noticed that the person standing next to him was Sai from the moment he was thrown here, but he didn't have the heart to talk to this kid now.
He had been watching from a distance before, but now Shao Xuan could finally feel the fire pond of the tribe up close, as if he was in a sea of fire, but he didn't feel burned, he only felt that his whole body was warm, and the coolness that had not completely dissipated in winter was all baked.
The patterns on the bodies of the children by the fire pit are fiery red, as if the flames have penetrated into their bodies, awakening the power that sleeps in the flesh and blood. More restrained.
And Shao Xuan's side is much more violent.
The fire that was originally only gathered above his head had spread to his body, and Shao Xuan's eyes were full of fire, and he didn't know if it was the fire floating from the fire pond or the fire burning down from the top of his head.
Shao Xuan felt some swelling pain in his brain, his body temperature increased, and the heat flow gathered in the center of his eyebrows, and then began to spread from the center of his eyebrows, forehead, face, neck, torso, and limbs......
Without a mirror, Shao Xuan couldn't see the changes on his face, and saw that other children already had fire-colored totem patterns on their faces, and he should be too. Feeling the heat flowing from his shoulders to his arms, Shao Xuan looked at his arms.
Before, because there was a fire on his head, he took off his animal skin coat and slapped the fire, and he didn't put it back on after that, and he still stayed there. Shao Xuan was now wearing a sleeveless animal skin gown, and the fire-colored totemic patterns on his arms that appeared with the spread of the heat flow could be seen very clearly.
The flames floating out of the fire pit are getting denser and denser, and the flames in the fire pit also have a tendency to expand outward, and the people of the tribe are also busy praying at this time, so Shao Xuan's whole body is shrouded in fire, so it is not so noticeable.
The more intense the flames in the fire pond became, the more intense the fire pond was, the smaller the fire pond was no longer the small flame that Shao Xuan saw at the beginning, and now the entire fire pond seemed to be a volcano waiting for it, but it did not give people a sense of fear, but made people who saw it have an urge to worship.
The witch's chant had reached the third stage, and when the last note fell, the witch's raised arms slammed to the sides, and the gray beast skin cloak was suddenly overwhelmed by the flames that spread out.
Huotang Sanyan and the third Yan - Yan Zhan.
The fire in the fire pit changed from the Sven just now, and instead of being a ball of flames, it spread like magma, drowning the people on the top of the mountain who participated in the ceremony in the blink of an eye, and covering the way down the mountain.
Near the foot of the mountain, Caesar, who had been left in the cave, retreated into the corner, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the cave, and a gurgling roar came out of his throat.
Outside the cave, there was already a fire.
The raging flames enveloped the mountain, not burning a single plant or tree, and it didn't seem to be lethal, but Caesar, who was hiding in the cave, was so afraid that he would now want to dig a hole and burrow into it if he could.
And those night swallows, who had already retreated to the edge of the residential area, looked at the fire that was getting closer and closer, and reluctantly flew up again, quickly shaking their wings and flying away into the distance.
Standing by the fire pond, Wu who has always maintained a strict sΓΉ, can't help but show joy on his face at this time. He didn't need to look down the hill to feel the extent of the flames.
The scope of expansion is larger than that of the past few years, no, since he inherited the position of the witch, he has never encountered such a large scope of the third Yan of the fire pond!
Auspicious ......
"Ji!" Wu shouted.
"Ji!" the tribesmen cheered.
"The flame of the flame horn will never be extinguished!" Ling Ao also roared happily.
"The flame of the Flame Horn will never be extinguished!" the tribesmen echoed in their voices, and they were all as excited as if they were beating chickens. Since Wu said that the new year will be better, it must be! How can people not be excited and celebrated?
The spreading flames lasted for about half an hour before gradually dissipating from the bottom of the hill to the top, leaving only the flames in the fire pit still burning and churning. The totem above the flame has always been there.
After that, the scene was not so strict, and it became much more relaxed. The people of the tribe need to vent their excitement, get together to talk and laugh and walk down the mountain, and when they go back, they will find good relatives and friends to barbecue some meat and drink some fruit wine, and then sleep well after eating and drinking to welcome the new year.
Ge also led the children in the cave down the mountain, they did not have to worry about being attacked by the night swallows, and no birds and beasts would enter their habitat this night. Caesar, of course, was an exception.
Unlike most of the tribesmen, Shao Xuan and the other children who awakened the power of the totem had to stay behind and stay in the mountains for a while, where they needed to be taught a second time by Wu.
Of the nearly eighty children, all but four of them were awakened. The other four children left a little disappointed, but were less depressed at the thought that they would wake up 100% next year.
Shao Xuan and his party stayed by the fire, and after the rest of the tribe left, they were taken to a stone house by several warriors.
This stone house was naturally much stronger and more spacious than the wooden houses Shao Xuan had seen at the bottom of the mountain, and the seventy or so children did not feel too crowded in it.
After awakening the power of the totem, it seems that every breath and breath is much easier, every muscle and every bone in the body seems to have been reshaped, full of strength, even if the whole person looks not much different from before, but there has been a qualitative change inside.
However, Shao Xuan is still a little depressed now.
Look at the other children who are either exchanging their feelings of awakening or gesturing their hands and feet, and if it weren't for someone watching, they would have liked to have a fight on the spot.
After carefully looking at the people around him a few times, Shao Xuan took a few steps forward and poked the person who was spitting and bragging, "Hey, who is that." β
"What do you ......" turned around after being interrupted, and when he saw Shao Xuan, he took two steps back vigilantly before he finished speaking, probably feeling that it would be too embarrassing to take two steps back, so he took another step forward.
"What for?" asked Sai, his eyes still defensive. Before awakening, he was beaten by the other party several times when he was taller and stronger than the other party, and he didn't dare to despise it after awakening.
"After you wake up, has there been any change in your vision? Vision, that is, whether you see things compared to before awakening ...... Change?" Shao Xuan asked.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was asking this question, Sai's chin was raised, and he said proudly: "Of course there are changes!"
The other children next to Shao Xuan who didn't know heard them talk about this topic, and they also joined in, talking about how far they could see things in the dim light, compared to before awakening, their hearing, smell and vision have made a big leap.
Only Shao Xuan remained silent.
There's no way, he can't sue others, he now sees that the people around him are all skeletons?
