Chapter 224 - The suppression of the fire seed (1/2)

Edited by Ilesyt

In the Wan Shi tribe

In the shaman’s house.

The door with a beast skull hanging on it was suddenly opened.

The shaman’s face was painted with a colorful totem pattern. He was sweating while rushing out. Then he hurried to the chief’s house.

The Wan Shi tribe’s chief was served by several female prisoners who had been brought here last year. But he was suddenly disturbed by the shaman and now had a displeased look.

“What’s up?”

Having hurriedly come, the shaman was out of breath and said at once, “There was a change in the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest!”

The chief’s closed eyes suddenly opened, and instantly became sharp like a knife. He asked, “Are you sure?”

Last year, the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest made the chief of the Wan Shi tribe lose face. The men of his tribe had always slaughtered, bullied, and robbed others. Before that, they had never been bullied and thus felt so frustrated! Every time he thought of this, he felt someone had insulted him. He didn’t allow anyone to tell this thing which would ruin the reputation of the Wan Shi tribe. If anyone mentioned it, he or she would be killed. Until now, there were no less than ten people killed by him because of this.

This remained an unsolved problem for the chief of the Wan Shi tribe. Because of the previous casualties, until now he hadn’t sent any more people into the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest.

“Indeed, just now, something ominous is happening, I feel...” The Wan Shi shaman said with unrest. He could hear his heartbeats, much faster than usual.

“What do you feel?”

“I feel...” Looking at the chief’s red eyes, the Wan Shi shaman lowered his head, and kept silent as a coward.

“Say!”

The Wan Shi shaman took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, “The suppression of a fire seed!”

The atmosphere inside the house suddenly became tense.

The women who had served the chief with a smile at the moment were trembling like sieves. But they did not make even a little bit of sound, for fear of being noticed because of the sound.

They had served the chief here for some time, and understood his temper. At the moment, the chief was furious.

They did not know the Wan Shi chief was not only angry, but also scared. He had many complex thoughts, so he became absent-minded for a bit. But he soon became conscious and smashed the wooden table next to him. His strong totem power showed his anger. His eyes became red and looked at the women who were scared, hiding in the corner.

The guards outside the chief’s house suddenly heard shouts and screams from the house, and soon the sound ended abruptly.

Bang!

The wooden door was kicked open and broke into several pieces.

Full of bloodlust, the man took big steps out from the house. His every step threatened the guards, so that they had to breathe carefully. They worried that the chief would scold them.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Wan Shi chief paid no attention to them and just walked away. He walked toward the fire pit.

After the Wan Shi chief, the Wan Shi shaman came out without any expression. When he went past the guards, he paused for a while, and said,“Clean up the things in the house.”

“Yes!” The guards replied. They knew what the “things” in the house the shaman referred to.

After the chief and the shaman left, the guards went into the house. They removed the blood stains in the whole house and took away the incomplete dead bodies. They had done this more than once, so they didn't feel afraid of the blood in the house. While cleaning the house, they were discussing in whispers as to why the chief was so angry.

Coming to the fire pit, the Wan Shi chief saw the flames were not as fierce as usual. Then he felt frightened. Although he had heard what the shaman said, when he witnessed it himself he was still unable to control his emotion.

The Wan Shi shaman was standing ten steps away from the chief. He knew the chief’s temper so he knew if he was too close to him he would suffer.

“Call our men! I will go to the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest in person!”

Just finishing his words, the stone near the Wan Shi chief’s feet was broken.

Bang!

For the people of the Wan Shi tribe, this night was not clam. The chief was furious, so everyone was scared. They heard that tomorrow they would go to Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest, so they became even more worried. This night, they were unable to sleep.

On the other side, the men of the Flaming Horns tribe were filled with joy. They did not know what kind of people were about to arrived at their old haunt. Now they were absorbing the energy of the fire crystals.

In the fire pit, the three Flames had been completed. The third Flame went on smoothly, so the Shaman said everything would go on well.

In the past, when the Flames had been completed, the ritual would end. The chief and the Shaman would announce something and the gathering would end. Everyone would have gone back home. But today, after the third Flame and the fire seed retreated to the fire pit, the Shaman took out the long-awaited fire crystals.

Having waited for a winter, they finally saw the fire crystals at this moment. Each totem warrior tried hard to absorb the energy from the fire pit into their bodies. They seldom had such a change.
