Chapter 644 The Ritual (2/2)

“Are you ready?” The shaman looked at the people around him.

“Ready.” Bo Gu scanned the faces there. A total of a thousand three hundred of their members were here. The junior totemic warriors would be placed in the outskirts of the tribe while the more experienced warriors would stay in the centre.

“If that is the case, let's begin!” the shaman declared solemnly.

The crowd moved into a line, this wasn't their first time doing the ritual so they didn't need instructions.

Bo Gu stepped to the front of the fire pond and stopped. He then extended his palm.

The shaman took out a long and narrow leaf. The dried leaf was thin and looked as if it would crumble as soon as someone touched it.

The shaman held the leaf with three fingers and flicked it like a sword. He then used it to cut Bo Gu's palm.

The blood followed the leaf's path, dripping down in a straight line from Bo Gu's palm into the fire pond. The whole process didn't take longer than a breath.

Bo Gu moved away to let the second person step forward. He did the same movements as Bo Gu.

Every tribesperson that would join the battle sacrificed a drop of blood into the fire pond.

Although there were a thousand people, it didn't take too long. When the last person was down, it had only been half an hour.

The shaman took the leaf from the last person and stuck it into the mountain of nets.

What did the net represent?

To conquer!

To vanquish!

Their presence radiated out of the ceremonial area.

The burning passion of the Gu tribe warriors could be felt from even the outskirts of the tribe. The birds and insects that lived here were long gone.

The Gu people didn't want the Flaming Horn tribe people here also because once the nets were activated, the Flaming Horns would not have a chance to act! Plus, they might even interfere with operations.
