Chapter 378 (2/2)

“Go then.”

The shamaness walked towards the fire pond while Shao Xuan walked in the opposite direction. A welcoming ceremony consisted of this ritual where someone walked up the hill while the other walked down the slope. Every newcomer had to do this.

There was no fire seed in the fire pond, just torches around it. Shao Xuan waited at the bottom of the hill. There were two groups of people guarding the area in case of an emergency.

Muffled singing came from the peak. The entire hill was solemn. It was a formal ceremony.

Red light glowed at the peak as the shamaness lighted a fire in the fire pond.

When he heard the sound of the horn, Shao Xuan walked back up.

There were many torches around, his path was well lit probably so he could see where he was going. However, he could see quite well in the dark.

After passing a quiet area, Shao Xuan saw the gathered crowds. There was a path cleared for him, everyone was looking at him curiously. This was the first time they could observe him in close range without worrying about the chief or the older members scolding them.

This was Shao Xuan?

The young man who beat Zhui?

They heard this was the guy who robbed Taihe tribe!

No matter what they felt, they did not say it aloud. It was not appropriate to speak during the ceremony

Using his extraordinary vision, Shao Xuan saw fine red lines extending from each person in the crowd forwards, towards the fire pond at the peak of the hill.

As he approached the fire pond, the red bead grew brighter, as if it had caught fire.

Many people squealed but stopped themselves. Their eyes were flued to the necklace, which was now on fire.

Shao Xuan’s totemic patterns appeared too, flowing down from his shoulders to his wrists, to his palms like lava.

An advanced totemic warrior!

He was an advanced totemic warrior!

Eyes widened around him.

The fire pond finally appeared before him. Although it wasn’t the roaring, tumbling flames he remembered, it was not small. The fire filled the pond.

The shamaness stood next to hid, a stone box in her hand. There were three bone ornaments identical to the one he was wearing. However, they were not glowing like his.
