Chapter 341 Return
Somewhere in the New World, deep in the woods,
In the misty woods, the former sacrificial site of Muti has now become a mess, with broken and fallen trees everywhere and all kinds of rubble scattered on the ground. After the war, the environment here is no longer as peaceful as before.
䀴At this moment, on this messy site, several figures were standing here. They were all dressed like natives of the New World. The two standing in the middle were a young man and an old man.
The young man was wearing a thick hunting suit made of linen and animal skin, with two painted lines on his face and an eagle feather decoration on his head. This was Capac. The old man beside Capac, wearing a long gown, leaning on a cane, with countless animal teeth and bones hanging on his body, and with white hair and beard, was Capac's teacher, Uta, the old shaman of the Tupa tribe. Around the two of them were other Tupa tribe members, and judging by their clothing, they all looked like warriors.
At this time, in the messy sacrificial site, there has been a cleared area. In this area, the stone table originally used to worship wooden hoofs has been re-erected, and various tributes are placed on it. In front of the stone table, there is a huge pattern painted on the ground. The pattern depicts an abstract and weird image of a giant bull. Around the pattern, there is a circle of small totem poles inserted there, forming a ritual site.
The Tupa warriors stood around the sacrifice site, holding the guns seized from the whites, and were alert to the situation around them. Wuta sat cross-legged in front of the ceremony site, smoking his pipe calmly, looking at the sacrifice site in front of him and puffing out smoke. At this time, Capac stood beside him, holding a pocket watch in his hand, and he looked at the movement of the pointer on the watch with a focused look.
"Capac...isn't the time up yet?" Uta said to Capac after exhaling another puff of white smoke. Capac, looking at his pocket watch, immediately answered.
"It will be ready soon, Mr. Uta. In a few minutes, you can hold the spiritual ceremony."
Looking at the time indicated by the pocket watch in his hand, Capak said this, and Uta looked at him again and asked.
"Does the timing of the ceremony have to be so precise? Can those friends on the other continent you mentioned really free Muti?"
"It's okay, Teacher Uta. They saved me. Otherwise, I would have been sent back to their lair by those white Beyonders who were hunting Muti and met with an accident. Those friends on the other side of the continent are also followers of Aka. They promised to free Muti. You only need to hold a spiritual ceremony to summon Muti over."
Capac said this to Uta. Listening to Capac's words, Uta took a few deep puffs of cigarette, and after exhaling a puff of white smoke, he murmured slowly.
"Akasha..."
While smoking the lit tobacco in his pipe, Uta pondered a word. In order to explain to Uta why the spiritual ceremony had to be held at a specific time, Capac revealed some information about the existence of Aka to Uta.
At this time, Uta already knew that the spirit suspected to be living in Kapak's body might be far from the various spirits he knew, or even that the other party might not be living in Kapak's body at all. Not only did any of his methods of exorcising spirits have no effect on it, but it was also impossible for an ordinary spirit to live in the bodies of multiple people.
At this time, in Uta's cognition, this person called Akasha was not attached to Capac, but was connected to Capac in some supernatural way. Capac was not the only one who was connected to Aka. On the white continent across the ocean, there were many people who were also connected to Aka. Capac's knowledge might have come from Aka or those people.
"Aka... I wonder how this supernatural being can exist across the ocean and connect people? It seems that this is far from being an evil spirit... No... It is far from being a simple spirit..."
Holding the pipe in his hand, Uta thought intently in his mind. He initially thought that there was some spirit attached to Capac, so he was able to show that he knew a lot of medical knowledge. But from the current situation, the existence that was connected to Capac was far from as simple as he thought.
'Being associated with such an unpredictable existence is not sure whether it is a blessing or a curse for the tribe... But at least so far, Capac, who was influenced by that Aka, has not shown any harm to the tribe... But it is still hard to say what will happen in the future.
"If we can successfully rescue Muti this time, perhaps we can also verify this Aka's attitude towards us... at least he has no ill intentions..."
Uta thought this in his heart while smoking his pipe. At this moment, Capak, who was looking at the pocket watch in his hand, suddenly shouted.
"Teacher Uta! The time is up, you can start!"
Listening to Kapak's words, Uta took another deep puff of the tobacco in his pipe. After exhaling a long puff of white smoke, he put the pipe on the ground aside. After concentrating his mind, he closed his eyes and stretched out his hands towards the ceremony site in front of him.
…
The Kingdom of Plit, the northwest suburb of Tivian.
Far away from the Fierce Wind Fortress, on a hill in the woods, the members of the Nether Coffin Order who were originally carrying out loading operations suddenly encountered an unexpected situation.
When no one expected it, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the pile of cargo boxes. A loud noise and flames broke out from deep inside the cargo boxes, engulfing the entire pile of cargo boxes and the surrounding people and skeletons. The shock wave spread violently in all directions, carrying with it countless debris that was blown away.
At the moment of the explosion, the people and skeletons close to the pile of cargo boxes disappeared instantly, the skeletons were shattered, the human bodies were torn apart, and the shock wave spread in all directions, blowing away the people who were a little further away within a few meters, and then continued to attack farther positions.
At the moment of the explosion, Larina, who was sitting on a rock to rest in the distance, was startled and her body moved immediately. The ghosts around her drilled into the body of Kale beside her, possessed and controlled him, and then grabbed him to block in front of themselves. The shock wave and high-speed fragments that were shot straight at her hit Kale's back directly. Kale, who was used as a shield, wailed in pain for a moment, and then the two were knocked to the ground by the shock wave.
After the explosion, the small hill was filled with flying dust. At this time, there was no one standing on the entire hill. Everyone was either killed directly by the explosion or knocked unconscious. Some were injured by the flying debris and fell to the ground wailing. All the skeletons were shattered and bones were scattered all over the ground.
“Ahh…it hurts…”
Kale, who was hit by countless shrapnel on his back, fell to the ground and struggled in pain. As a bone maker, he had hard skin naturally born by the Beyonder of "Stone", so the debris did not directly penetrate his body, but it also caused a large area of skin to rupture and cause great pain.
“Cough… cough cough…”
Using Kale as a shield, Larina successfully avoided being hurt by the debris and slowly stood up while coughing. She covered her dizzy head and glanced at the messy environment around her. Finally, she fixed her sight on the origin of the explosion, which was still covered by a large cloud of dust.
"Ahem... explosives... damn... thief... how dare you... to trick me..."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Larina knew that this was the work of the thief who had just left. She gnashed her teeth and said with anger on her face. Their deal was not contractual from the beginning. Everyone just wanted to find a way to kill the other party in the deal. Now it seems that the other party is obviously one step ahead.
"Get up! You guys! Now is not the time to lie on the ground. Those spirits are about to escape. Get up!"
Larina yelled to the injured subordinates lying on the ground around her. At this moment, her spiritual sense sensed something. After a slight start, she turned her head sharply and looked towards the dust at the source of the explosion. There, a huge shadow slowly appeared.
After the explosion destroyed the soul-binding iron coffin, Mu Ti's large bull spirit slowly emerged from the dust, with countless spirits wandering around it. After being freed from their restraints, the sealed spirits all gained their freedom.
