Chapter 623 Blood & Fire From The Same Source (2/2)

The people who were determined to stay in the arena were shocked to see this. It was the first time they saw the Flaming Horn tribe perform such a strange sacrificial rite with their own eyes. There was no fire pond! A sacrifice with an invisible fire seed!

It was really hard to believe!

The Flaming Horn tribe actually started a sacrifice even without a fire pond and their fire seed was nowhere to be seen! And they even succeeded!

So this was the secret the Flaming Horns had kept all along?

But even if they saw it with their own eyes, they still could not comprehend how the change happened?

Right when all these people were troubled by their doubts, changes took place once again inside the arena.

Before, the energy of the fire seed was wavering and it wasn’t clear whether it was really there, but suddenly, it became clear and was burning even faster!

On the walls inside the arena, the fierce energy that used to linger on the beast bones was suppressed so much that it disappeared completely. Not even one bit was left behind. Even those violent energies inside the blood that Zheng Luo and the others purposely spilled to decorate the skeletons had disappeared completely!

This was the same arena from before, but in the blink of an eye, it was like an entirely new place.

To those who did not belong to the Flaming Horn tribe, the fire seed’s energy was making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

This sudden surge of energy from another tribe’s fire seed was not directed specifically at them, but it was flooding the entire place. No, it wasn’t just in this arena. Even beyond, outside the Flaming River Castle, in the trading area. This energy was everywhere!

This made their hairs stand on ends, and their hair seemed like they were blown up. It was like a cold electric current was spreading and touched them on their skin. It made many of them shiver.

When the Flaming Horn tribe’s fire seed’s energy suddenly surged, Abuli, who was hiding and looking from behind the beast fang gate, felt all the totem markings on his body surface, and his fingernails suddenly grew wildly from his fingers. On his feet, long toenails that were sharp as a knife grew out suddenly from his toes. The tightly-grown hairs on his face grew thicker, and Abuli’s entire figure hunched, his feet spread apart in a wild fashion, and one of his arms was in front, the other behind, creating an awkward and strange posture.

He had no control over this. It was all a natural reaction to the fire seed’s energy. This sudden change in posture was not readying him for battle. Instead, it was preparing him for a fast escape anytime.

It wasn’t just Abuli. Even the people from the other tribes behaved similarly. Under the suppression from another tribe’s fire seed energy, the totem power in their bodies could only mobilize to resist it.

At that instant, all sorts of totem markings and transformations took place, all types of changes in appearance caused by totem powers surfaced to their skin. All of them looked completely different from before.

But in contrast, the people of the Flaming Horn tribe were all feeling especially good.

Blood coursed through their veins, emotions ran high! Their hearts were suddenly filled with infinite emotions, ready to rush out of their chests, but no one spoke. Rather, following the appearance of the totem lines, small flames started to appear from inside their bodies.

The number of flames slowly increased and spread out wider, as if it was engulfing their entire body.

If the Flaming Horn’s success in making the totem sign appear through their sacrifice shocked the people around them, the situation now probably shattered their entire world view.

“Burn… They’re actually burning!” someone said with widened eyes.

There was no fire pond, no fire seed, not enough people. How did they perform the sacrifice?

But the Flaming Horns succeeded!

The beast hides, beast meat, seasoning powder, grains... All of these were nothing compared to this!

To them, the most meaningful action the Flaming Horns made that day was performing the sacrificial ceremony at the end of the Flaming River Grand Feast!

At this moment, all of these people who were present had doubts similar to those they had back when the Flaming Horn’s fire seed disappeared, but back then they never thought much about it. They even felt like they were watching a show, but now this doubt really made them feel uneasy.

What did the final form of the fire seed look like?

Maybe, the Flaming Horns had another purpose when they invited them here. It wasn’t just to publicise their trading area or to show off. Maybe they had another purpose!

“Blood and fire from the same source!”

The chief of the Mang tribe couldn’t help but think of this saying. Back when the shaman of the Mang tribe was analysing what actually happened to the Flaming Horn tribe’s fire seed, he made this hypothesis.

Beyond the beast fang gate, Abuli looked toward the Flaming Horn tribesmen in flames, and turned his head in another direction to look at the other Flaming Horns outside the castle.

They’re all burning!

“Wait, that! Look at that guy! He’s burning!” Abuli’s wife exclaimed.

“Nonsense! I know they’re burning, all the Flaming Horns are burning!” Abuli snapped back into reality. He closed his gaping mouth. His jaw was sore.

“Not them, look over here!” Abuli’s wife held his face with both hands and turned it towards the inside of the Flaming River Castle.

Abuli’s eyes almost fell out of place. His jaws suddenly dropped down again.

“Uhhhhhhh…..”
