Chapter 264 - The young elder (2/2)

The people who had gathered around the fire pit gradually dispersed. The family members of those who awakened were so happy that they invited some good friends to celebrate. Those who failed to get the power, besides the young children, would be even less likely to get it in the future.

A thin woman looked very depressed, and also rea.s.sured the others around her with a wry smile. She did not speak. Many did as her, and in the crowd she was not very noticeable.

As she walked from the crowd step by step, her husband was waiting for her anxiously. Her husband was one of those wanderers from other tribes.

“So?” When he saw his wife come to him, the man strode forward.

The woman shook her head.

The pa.s.sers-by looked at the honest man who clumsily comforted his wife, they understood the reason. They comforted them, sighed, and left.

The frustrated couple walked out of the venue, went back to their hut and shut the door.

The man didn’t look sad anymore but serious. With helplessness, he took out some herbs to smash them. He put them in a pot, added some water, started the fire, and cooked them.

These herbs didn’t smell strong. When they were cooked, there was a light smell of gra.s.s. If one was did not pay attention or stayed away from the herbs, they could not smell it.

That thin woman closed the windows and doors. Her face became pale at once, she couldn’t stop herself. She spat out blood and looked exhausted. If she hadn’t sat on the stool with the help of the wooden table, she would have probably fallen down.

“d.a.m.n it.” The man looking at the clay jar said.

The woman was panting and sitting on the stool next to the wooden table. She did not say anything, for she was afraid that she would spit out blood again if she did so.

When the herbs were ready, she took the medicine and quietly rested for a while. Then she slowly said: “If the flame giant didn’t appear so suddenly, I would not have suffered so much!”

They had planned to find out what treasure the Flaming Horns tribe had at the ritual ceremony. They usually showed the valuable items at the ritual ceremony.

However, this time, they failed to implement their plan.

They pretended to be a couple here. In their plan, the man was from another tribe and the woman came from the Flaming Horns tribe. At the ritual ceremony, they stood at different places, because the wanderers of the Flaming Horns tribe could stand close to the fire pit in order to awaken easily.

Those from other tribes who wanted to join the Flaming Horns tribe needed to attend the accreditation ceremony. In this way they could be accepted by the fire seed or rejected by it. No one wanted to take that risk. The wanderers without faith would feel less repulsion by the fire seed.

They hadn’t taken part in such a ritual ceremony. Nor were they wanderers without any faith.

When the flames of the fire pit spread, she felt stabbing pain inher body. However, she endured such pains. They had many many experiences, different from ordinary people, they could bear a lot.

However, unexpectedly, a flame giant suddenly appeared! The repulsion of the fire seed became stronger at that time, that flame giant had a big impact on her. She had almost spat out blood at that time, but she held back. Fortunately, people around her only paid attention to the fire pit, so no one noticed her. Otherwise, her secret would have been revealed.

She remembered that at that time she was like a weak beast facing a mighty monster and she couldn’t resist it. At this time, she was still scared. However, thanks to their many experiences and their good disguising skill, they avoided being discovered by those around them.
