Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty Four – Attack First!
“What is this?” Zuo Mo asked Wei as he stared at the black gold seal soldier. Looking at the face that was the exact same as his, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Wei said in a deep voice, “This seems a bit like a totem puppet.”
“Totem puppet?” Zuo Mo was slightly shocked. He moved to look at Wei. “What is that? What is its purpose?”
“The totem of each tribe is the symbol of each tribe. They are extremely powerful but many totems did not like to personally attend to each tribal matter. They would bestow puppets to each tribe that contained some of their power. In the ancient era, totem puppets were numerous. They would be bestowed a power of the totems, but these powers were not as great as the totems themselves! Some totem puppets could function as seeds that the totems left behind for themselves. If the totem is destroyed, these totem puppets can use certain secret methods to reawaken the memories of the totem and become the new totem!”
Pu Yao listened carefully. Even he was not clear about these ancient matters t.
Zuo Mo’s mind shifted. Seal soldiers were a method that united seals and puppets. Totem puppets made him think about the totem fragment he had used.
“What is offering sacrifice?” Zuo Mo asked immediately.
“Offering the sacrifice is the most important step of the sacrificial ceremony. It usually is the signal that the ceremony has started.” Wei explained, “When your black gold seal soldier opened its eyes, it made me recall those sacrificial ceremonies. The sacrificial ceremonies of the ancient era usually require offerings. The totem puppets are like wild beasts and are extremely hungry! You did this by accident. As to what your black gold seal soldier can do, you need to explore it yourself. Things related to the totem is too distant even to us!”
The three were silent. He was right. The ancient era was way too archaic to them!
Totem puppet … …
He always managed to come up with weird stuff, Zuo Mo couldn’t help but grimace.
He clearly had forged according to Gu Xiang Tian’s jade scroll so why did the black gold seal soldier he made turn out completely different than in the instructions?
Whatever, he’ll know after trying it out.
Zuo Mo held the paper seal and channeled the spell according to the method recorded in the jade scroll.
There was no response.
Zuo Mo paused. How could there be no response? He hurriedly took out the jade scroll and closely read it over. It was correct! Zuo Mo suddenly had a bad feeling, could it be … …
He forced himself to calm and cast the spell again.
Still no response!
The corner of Zuo Mo’s eyes jerked. The bad feeling grew and he tried again.
Still no response!
Why wasn’t there a response? Had he ruined it? Zuo Mo looked at the paper seal in his hand with an ugly expression! Used so much effort, spent so many good materials, and even caused such a frightening offering of sacrifice, it all made ge feel anticipation, but it is really a failure?
Stupid thing! Zuo Mo was angry due to his embarrassment. Without another word, he whipped the paper seal at the table!
“Born to battle.”
A lazy voice that seemed to have just woken up suddenly popped out.
The masculine and intimidating words were soft and without any strength.
Behind this phrase was a long yawn.
Zuo Mo’s face was black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes staring viciously at the black gold seal soldier. The dark gold black gold seal soldier gave a yawn, drool coming out of the corner of his mouth, as he looked with sleepy eyes at Zuo Mo.
“Big Bro, what you want?”
Zuo Mo was frozen where he stood. Pu Yao and Wei were also dumbstruck.
Other than being completely dark gold, this guy’s wretched appearance was just the same as Zuo Mo!
Seeing no one reply, the black gold seal soldier gave another long yawn. “Nothing? If there’s nothing, I’m going to sleep. So sleepy!” Finishing, he waved a hand at Zuo Mo and disappeared with a pop.
Unfreezing, Zuo Mo felt the impulse to sob and cry. Was this still a seal soldier? That fierce seal soldier that was not afraid of death, where did it go? Wasting so much energy and materials, yet he only got this lazy guy, Zuo Mo felt he was so stupid he could go hit his head against a wall!
The more he thought, the more Zuo Mo missed the black gold seal soldier that was stoic, silent, and ignorant of pain or exhaustion!
Such a good black gold seal soldier!
His luck was terrible!
Among Pu Yao and Wei’s sympathetic eyes, Zuo Mo wanted to cry, so regretful his intestines were green.

Zong Ru chanted in a low voice as he gently swung the prayer wheel in his hands. The sutra characters on the prayer wheel up and swirled.
Threads of wish power were like a great grey poison that permeated the Crossed Prayer Wheel.
His Crossed Prayer Wheel used the Nine Turn Sky Earth Disk as the body, the Vajra Gada as the spokes as it was inscribed by the [Attainment Golden Body] scripture that Zong Ru recited every day. The talisman was purified by wish power so the two talismans showed signs of merging together.
