Chapter 5: Killing the Boar King, Great Harvest!
Crash--
Under the frenzied impacts of the Fangtusk Wild Boar King, the tree trunk, with a diameter of a full meter, swayed wildly, emitting cracking sounds as it began to tilt slowly.
Go to the devil!
Enzo couldn't believe the strength of these boars!
Who knew wild boars could possess such power? Breaking such a thick tree trunk seemed utterly unreasonable.
However, now wasn't the time to dwell on such thoughts. As the tree toppled, causing everyone to lose balance and fall from the branches, they had to face the tusked boars head-on.
"Disperse and find opportunities to climb trees!" Enzo isEnzod another command, the most optimal response for the current situation.
But once again, circumstances changed.
The Boar King, in agony, let out a painful roar. Other tusked boars gathered around it and then charged towards Enzo's direction.
This is the person who caused himself injury!
The Fangtusk Wild Boar King was extremely angry.
Damn it!
Enzo cursed again in his heart and pulled Tia away quickly.
The charge of the Fangfang Wild Boar King was incredibly rapid, almost instantly appearing behind Enzo and Tia.
As they were about to collide, Tia quickly pushed Enzo away.
Wham!
The next moment, Enzo fell to the ground.
Tia was knocked flying by the Boar King, slamming heavily onto a large tree, covering her lower abdomen and continuously bleeding from her mouth, her gaze gradually becoming blurred.
Enzo was deeply saddened and said, "Tia!"
And with such a collision, the Fangtusk Wild Boar King seemed to have lost his last strength, his body swaying and swaying. Enzo pulled out a sharp dagger from his backpack, angrily stepped forward, used the Wild Boar King's fangs to climb onto his massive back, and then stabbed the dagger into his body.
The Boar King let out a scream, but he no longer had the strength to shake off Enzo.
At this moment, the other members of the tribe quickly rushed over, arched and shot the other wild boars with fangs one by one.
Finally, the Boar King collapsed.
Enzo quickly jumped down and ran to Tia's side.
Although Tia was extremely rude at first, after spending this short time together, Enzo still inevitably sympathized with the girl who grew up in the tribe.
To be honest, Tia was his first friend in this unfamiliar world.
Other members of the tribe gathered, their eyes sad.
There are not many people in the tribe, and each person is extremely precious.
At this moment, Rhode suddenly spoke up, "Lord Enzo, Tia may still have a chance to survive. When I became a tribal warrior, the Priest once said that after becoming a tribal warrior, the Tribal Fire would heal all wounds."
Upon hearing these words, Enzo quickly picked up Tia and said, "Go back!"
Rhode and Anse looked at each other, and Rhode followed, Ansel and the remaining tribe members collected the carcasses of the slain fangtusk boars, which were extremely delicious food.
If not transported back in time, it will be devoured by other fierce beasts the next day.
Tia's accident is certainly regrettable.
But the survival of tribal groups is also a big deal, and when it comes to death, these tribal people who have been experiencing life and death are actually more open-minded than Enzo.
Half an hour later.
Enzo and Rhode rushed back to the camp. Other people in the camp heard the commotion and came out of their caves. When they saw Enzo holding Tia in his arms, the entire camp was plunged into great panic and sorrow.
Priest Sovita also emerged.
He looked perplexed and muttered to himself, "No, this shouldn't be happening."
In his foresight, there was supposed to be a great harvest today.
Enzo stepped forward directly and urged, "Quickly, let Tia become a tribal warrior. I can make the flames soar high enough to provide sufficient tribal fire!"
He remembered clearly that Tia had said she couldn't become a tribal warrior because there wasn't enough tribal fire.
Hearing this, Sovita snapped out of his daze, his face showing a troubled expression. He said, "It's not about the tribal fire. Tia's injuries are too severe. Even the baptism of tribal fire won't save her."
Enzo was instantly despondent.
He asked in grief, "Then... is there no other way?"
Sovita sighed and looked at Enzo, then glanced at Tia, who was already unconscious. It seemed like he made a decision and said, "There is, but it's a very risky endeavor, and it requires various extremely difficult conditions."
"Tell me!" Enzo said directly.
Sovita nodded and said, "First, let's go to the ritual square."
Enzo lifted Tia and went to the ritual square together with Sovita.
Returning together, Rhode was completely unable to speak, so he had to call other tribal members and head back to the boar territory once again. They were prepared to bring back the bodies of the boar king and other boars while also investigating the anomalies in the boar territory. After all, the appearance of those boars was too strange.
...
At the ritual square.
Following Sovita's instructions, Enzo placed Tia on the central stone and then placed his hand on the edge of the stone brazier.
In his ears, he could hear the voice of the priest Sovita: "According to the priestly tradition, those with strong talents can obtain inherited knowledge through the tribal fire without the guidance of the previous priest. Priests who gain knowledge on their own can wield abilities far beyond those of ordinary priests and have the opportunity to condense the totemic fire."
Enzo focused his mind.
In the stone brazier, flames several meters high kept flickering.
It seemed like they were getting a bit higher?
Sovita was surprised, but at that moment, he didn't have the presence of mind to scrutinize further. He continued, "Follow the guidance of the tribal fire, it will lead you to the land of inheritance, where you will obtain the knowledge of priesthood."
Follow the guidance?
Enzo felt something was off.
He seemed not to need any guidance from the tribal fire.
He could sense that his consciousness seemed to have descended into a very strange place. There were strange lights here, each representing different inheritances and abilities.
However, some lights were of only one color, while others were rainbow-colored.
There weren't many rainbow-colored ones, only about a dozen or so.
Enzo thought to himself, "It would be best if it's about healing injuries..."
The next moment, one of the rainbow-colored lights fell into Enzo's hands.
Various complex knowledge flooded into his mind.
And in Sovita's sight, it was particularly horrifying.
The flames in the stone brazier surged once again, rising to tens of meters high before gradually receding. However, flames suddenly ignited at the tops of the five stone pillars on the square, expanding rapidly to engulf the pillars. In some places, the flames left gaps, while in others, they burned with a deep hue, eventually forming the image of a leaf.
"This is... a totem!" Sovita was incredibly shocked.
Tears streamed from his aged eyes, and his body trembled uncontrollably as he muttered to himself, "A totem! This is a totem! The Crimson Star tribe has finally witnessed the emergence of a totem once again!"
At that moment, the flames on the stone pillars vanished.
Enzo withdrew his hand from the stone brazier and swiftly approached Tia's side. A faint green light appeared on his hand, flowing into Tia's body. The bruises on her body disappeared, but there was still no sign of her awakening. Moreover, her body was becoming stiff.
"Why is this happening?" Enzo was puzzled.
Sovita's voice rang out again, "Priest, you have only healed Tia's physical injuries for now, but her soul remains dormant. Next, you need to imprint the totem mark on Tia's body using the totem fire."
Enzo nodded, unaware of the change in Sovita's address to him.
The knowledge he accepted in the inheritance included information about this aspect.
He then took Tia's hand and left an imprint of a leaf on her arm. After the imprint was left, it quickly disappeared, hidden within her body.
"And then?" Enzo continued to inquire.
Indeed, it was a totem!
Sovita suppressed his astonishment and replied, "With the totem mark present, Tia is considered a potential totem warrior. As long as she obtains the essence of a peculiar creature within a month and allows the totem mark on her body to absorb it, Tia will fully become a totem warrior. She will awaken and gain the abilities corresponding to the essence of the creature."
Hearing this, Enzo pondered. "A peculiar creature?" he murmured, then asked, "Does the Boar King count as a peculiar creature?"
Sovita nodded, realizing something was amiss. "You encountered the Boar King?"
Enzo nodded. "Yes, Tia was thrown by the Chieftain Boar while protecting me. However, the Boar King was also killed, and there are a lot of Boar corpses."
This... This was just too insane!
Sovita didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His premonition was correct. In any tribe, sacrificing one person to kill a monster would be a tremendous gain!
Not to mention there were other tusked boars as well.
