Chapter 624 Wait, Grand Elder, What Are you Trying To Do?! (2/2)
They could only stand on the side and watch, and see what this grand elder of the Flaming Horn tribe was about to do.
Shao Xuan also never expected the bone ornaments to suddenly awaken and activate its power.
The power of totem, transmission, and other special powers inside his body was all being pulled away at that instant. The six bone ornaments were spinning wildly like a whirlwind, sucking in all the energy Shao Xuan was providing.
This was different from previous times.
Before, these six bone ornaments were activated purely by their own power and did not require too much of Shao Xuan’s power. Shao Xuan could not even choose when they were going to appear.
So Shao Xuan could use his own power to activate the bone ornaments, just like back then when he used it to part the sea and return. When the bone ornaments could no longer provide enough energy to support its function, Shao Xuan would use his own energy to support it.
But now, Shao Xuan did not even use his own energy to activate the bone ornament’s power. It activated automatically but it still relied on Shao Xuan’s energy for support.
The bone ornaments had not completely recovered. Shao Xuan suddenly figured out the reason.
Maybe their ancestors left a remnant of their consciousness inside the bone ornaments, and because they saw such a grand feast, they got too excited and jumped out by themselves?
This sudden energy that was welling out of the bone ornaments might be caused by the remaining consciousness of their ancestors. Shao Xuan’s emotions were also slightly stirred by it, making him feel like howling with all his might.
Sure enough, the ancestors were probably very happy.
After being stirred by all these emotions, Shao Xuan moved.
All the people in the Flaming Horn tribe: “.......”
Their eyes looked up at the flaming giant up above, and then fixed onto Shao Xuan. From their eyes, it was clear that their feelings were at first filled with utmost reverence, then shock, then terror.
Wait! Grand Elder! What are you trying to do?
Don’t lift your leg! Please show some mercy!
We are still standing beside you, grand elder! Look at us!
Don’t lift your foot! Don’t step on us!
The people of the Flaming Horn tribe, whether they had seen Shao Xuan use the ancestral powers before, or heard about it after, all thought the same way when they saw Shao Xuan’s sudden movements.
Everyone in the Flaming Horn tribe, from the ex-chiefs to the current chiefs and shamans, and other hunt leaders like Duo Kang, all of them were terrified. But the flames that were surrounding them covered them so it was not obvious.
If Shao Xuan was to lift his foot and step down, everything they had worked so hard to establish, the entire grand feast, would all go to waste. Not only would it ruin the Flaming Horn tribe’s powerful image, they would even be laughed at by others.
If they were to suffer a step from this giant, and if they didn't die, they would be severely injured, right?
Especially Zheng Luo, Duo Kang, and others who had seen the might of this flame giant before. Their hands were all trembling. That year when they migrated from the other side of the sea and encountered the teams that the slave masters sent out to capture them, they had seen Shao Xuan summon the power of the ancestral bones to step on the ground. In an instant, the ground split apart as if an earthquake happened and shocked the team that was hunting for them. It stopped those people from following them so tightly.
If it could split the ground, fight the king of beasts, and part the sea, could people like them bear this kind of power?
Thinking about the earth splitting apart back then, they recalled seeing giant boulders being thrown up. Then they imagined, if that situation was to happen again here and now, how would it look like?
They recalled the time when they went to the salt mine and encountered the King Beast. Before they even got to see how Shao Xuan summoned the ancestral power, they already flew towards the snow, so all of them were shaking with fear.
The more they thought about it, the paler their faces became.
Grand Elder, please don’t do anything stupid!
But, judging from Shao Xuan’s looks, it didn’t seem like he was doing it on purpose. It was like, maybe, perhaps, what their ancestors wanted to do?
They really wanted to stop Shao Xuan from doing what he was about to do, but they didn’t want to disrespect their ancestors so they didn’t act recklessly. But right when they hesitated, Shao Xuan moved again.
This time, Shao Xuan did not move his foot. Instead, he moved his hand.
It looked as if Shao Xuan’s arms were carelessly raised from his side. The blurry burning figure also followed suit and raised its arms.
Seeing this, everyone in the Flaming Horn tribe breathed out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it did not lift its feet. It scared them so much that cold sweat covered their foreheads. Before, during their previous sacrifices, the flaming giant that represented their ancestors also lifted its arms, like it was cheering, so they finally stopped worrying.
Turns out our ancestors are just cheering?! Gosh, that was close! Wait!
Huh?
Huh!
