Chapter 331 Ambush

In the vast woods of the continent, in a clearing somewhere, soul-fire-like spirits were floating and dancing in the sky. Kapak and Banu were still performing spiritual sacrifices piously. They bowed down in front of the wilderness spirit in the form of a bison, and respectfully responded to it as it sucked the offerings on the stone platform and the remaining soul embers on the bones.

While the Spirit of the Wilderness was inhaling the energy, Kapak and Banu lowered their heads and silently recited.

"Dear Muti, according to your previous request, I have cut down the diseased trees in Nanlin, and the tree disease will not continue to spread."

"Respected Muti, as you requested, I have buried the body of the beast that invaded the North Forest and comforted its spirit. Its restless spirit should be able to calm down."

Capak and Banu whispered to the Wild Spirit that the Wild Spirit was chosen by the environment to be the spokesperson. In an environment rich in spirituality, the Wild Spirit would appear to embody its will, so the Wild Spirit would protect the environment in which it lives. Practitioners of the Shamanic Path could also help protect the Wild Spirit's environment and better please the Wild Spirit.

Listening to the words of Capac and Banu, Muti, who seemed to be full, raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him and nodded, then closed his eyes, and his spirit began to emit a faint light. After seeing this, Capac and Banu immediately closed their eyes and began to resonate with Muti. In the faint light emitted by his spirit, Muti seemed to emit little threads of light and merged into the bodies of Capac and Banu.

"Thank you, respected Muti..."

After feeling the increase in spiritual power, Capak and Banu immediately bowed and expressed their gratitude. The buffalo-like spirit of the wilderness looked at them twice, then turned and left, and its translucent body merged into the big tree behind it.

After Muti disappeared, all the soul fire spirits that were floating around all rushed up to the stone platform and began to devour the remaining soul embers in the bone fragments on the stone platform. After Muti left, Kapak and Banu still leaned over for a long time, then stood up and quietly retreated.

"Brother Capac, how much spirituality have you accumulated now?" Turning his head, Banu asked Capac beside him, and Capac answered lightly.

"It's not too little, it's more than the last spiritual sacrifice. It may be because we completed Master Muti's mission this time."

"Yes, helping Master Muti maintain the environment can gain more spirituality, but unfortunately this kind of task is only occasional, and there is no task this time..."

Banu nodded at Kapak and responded, and then the two of them chatted for a few more words in the open space in the forest. In the end, it was time for them to go back.

"It's getting late now. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to return to the tribe before dark. Let's go."

Looking at the sun in the sky, Capac said to Banu that although they belonged to different tribes, they were traveling together for a section of the way back.

"You should go back today, Brother Capac. I still want to communicate more with the spirits here." Banu said to Capac. As he spoke, he took out a piece of bone from his waist and showed it to Capac. It was obvious that this piece of bone was not offered to Woodti as a tribute. According to Capac's words, he was going to offer the bone to the spirits later.

"Is that so? Brother Banu, you really work hard. If that's the case, I'll leave first."

"Haha, you are making such rapid progress. As a senior, I will be overtaken if I don't work harder. See you next time, Capac brothers."

Finally, after Capac waved goodbye to Banu, he turned around and left the open space where the spiritual sacrifice was held. Banu also stood there, watching Capac disappear into the shadows.

Then, Banu's face darkened and he turned his head to look behind him, at the big tree where Muti's spirit had disappeared.

…

Capac was walking in the woods filled with light white mist. He had just successfully completed a spiritual sacrifice ceremony. Capac, who had successfully accumulated spiritual energy, was in a good mood at this moment.

"I have gained some more spiritual power. According to Mr. Bachelor, the spiritual power I am accumulating now is called the spirit of 'Silence'. He said that in addition to 'Silence', there are five other spiritual powers in this world. In addition to various magical and advanced technologies on the other side of the Sea of ​​​​Relax, even things on the extraordinary level are so colorful..."

Feeling the spirituality growing in his body, Kapak pondered in his heart and said that in recent times, he has not only been receiving education from the traditional shaman of Uta, but also often consulted with the "scholars" who are also Akha believers through the magical painting, so he learned a lot of basic knowledge of the main continent's mysticism.

'According to Mr. Bachelor, the extraordinary power practitioners in their main continent are divided into five levels, and I am currently at the lowest apprentice level. According to Teacher Wuta, I am only a shaman apprentice now, and I need to advance again to become a real shaman, which means... a real shaman is equivalent to a black earth level extraordinary person in the main continent.

"In addition... according to what Mr. Bachelor said, to advance to the Black Earth Rank, I need not only the 'Silence' spirituality that I have accumulated over and over again, but also a supplementary spirituality from other spiritualities. I don't know what spirituality is supplemented by the traditional shaman path of our tribe?"

Walking in the woods, Capac thought curiously in his heart. Suddenly, he remembered that Uta's teaching method seemed to have changed recently.

Recently, the old shaman often asked himself to appear in front of the tribe on his behalf, and would take himself along for any important ceremonies, as if he was deliberately trying to enhance his prestige within the tribe. He even told him not to be too approachable because of his medical treatment, to put on airs, and to be dignified and mysterious and serious in his daily life. This made Capak feel a little uncomfortable for a moment and he raised some opinions, but was sternly warned by Uta.

'As a shaman, we must be the most respectable and worshipful people in the tribe! Our words and deeds must reflect mystery and majesty! Remember! You are about to become a shaman who can communicate with all spirits. You need to regard yourself as a god in the tribe. You need to establish incredible prestige with your words and deeds, so that the tribe's feelings towards you will change from gratitude and affinity to worship! This is crucial to whether you can successfully become a true shaman! '

The old shaman's rather harsh words echoed in Capac's mind. His words made Capac feel that the shaman seemed to need the tribe's worship on this journey. This might have something to do with what the scholar said about the accumulation of auxiliary spirituality.

'Both Mr. Uta and Mr. Bachelor are knowledgeable and experienced. It is a great honor for me to be taught by them at the same time, and all this is due to Aka's favor.

'What is Akka's purpose for being able to look at me from a remote place and grant me a gift? Although Akka seems to be asking for knowledge, he has followers as knowledgeable as the scholars. Is the knowledge I can contribute really important to him? Could it be that he saw that my people were suffering and chose me to save them?'

In just less than two months, Capak, who had undergone a major transformation, was walking and talking with emotion in his heart. As he walked, he suddenly frowned, touched his body as if he remembered something, and then his face darkened.

"Oh no... I forgot to bring back the bone fragments for the spiritual sacrifice..."

Kapak murmured with a gloomy face that the bone fragments he took for the spiritual sacrifice were left behind after the cremation of the tribe. After the spiritual sacrifice was completed and the soul embers inside were sucked clean, they could not be thrown away in the wild without care. According to the shaman's custom, these bone fragments should be taken back and properly preserved, and sometimes they can be used as props for some rituals.

Capak suddenly realized that he had forgotten to take something and started to panic. Then he looked around and found that he had not walked too far, so if he went back immediately, he should still have time.

"Go back and get them quickly. If Zhentu Banu is still there, the things should not be lost. Don't let any animals take them away."

Having thought so in his mind, he immediately turned around and walked towards the spiritual sacrifice site.

In order to get back to the tribe before dark, Capac walked quickly through the dark forest. After a while, he came to a location very close to the spiritual sacrifice site. However, here, Capac felt something unusual happening ahead.

"boom…"

A muffled sound came from afar, the earth was shaking slightly, the birds in the forest were startled and flew away. Capac, who felt the movement, was stunned. In his eyes as a psychic, he saw a spirit in the distant forest hurriedly fleeing towards him. Seeing this, Capac immediately used his ability to calm the next spirit and looked at it to inquire about the situation.

"What happened up ahead?"
