Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Kapak responded that because of his growing prestige among the tribe, he offended the original hunting leader, and Sado, who was very likely to become the patriarch, now because of this, he and Sado and his The constant conflicts between his subordinates made Kapak very annoyed. He didn't want to be an enemy of Sado, but just wanted to help the tribe as much as he could.

"I told Teacher Uta and Sado that I'm not quite the patriarch, but Sado thought I was lying to him, so he didn't believe it at all. Teacher Uta would not mediate, or point out Sado , but just supporting it like this... Now those people in Sado are becoming more and more hostile to me... Sigh..."

Kapak said with a sigh, while listening to Kapak's narration, Banu on the side paused slightly, and then he said with a strange expression.

"No matter how you say it, the only thing lacking in your tribe is the patriarch, and there are still shamans in charge right now, like ours..."

For the next period of time, Kapak and Banu moved forward while talking, and after a while, they finally reached their destination, an open forest glade.

In this forest clearing, under a big tree, there is a small altar made of rocks, covered with a layer of fallen leaves. Seeing this altar, Kapak and Banu looked at each other After a glance, he walked forward, cleaned the small stone altar, and then began to place some things that he brought with him on it.

Looking carefully, these are some strange flowers and fruits, as well as some bone fragments. It is not known whether these bone fragments are human bones or animal bones, and mysterious symbols are engraved on them.

After the altar was set up, Kapak and Banu began to sit cross-legged together, lowered their heads facing the altar, closed their eyes, and began to silently recite the mantra together.

The common voices of Kapak and Banu echoed above the open space and among the deep forest trees. After their spells lasted for about half a minute, strange phenomena appeared around them.

From the darkness among the trees, groups of deep blue soul fires loomed and floated in the sky above the open space. Under the guidance of the psychic, the spirits in the surrounding forests were gathering.

In front of Kapak's Banu, a tall translucent spiritual body slowly pierced out of the tall tree, floating on top of the simple stone altar.

This is the spirit body of a bison, a translucent tall bison spirit body with muscular muscles, sharp horns, and mysterious lines on its body. Before the altar, look at the two shaman apprentices who silently looked behind the altar and bowed their heads.

Sensing the appearance of the spirit body of the bison, Kapak and Banu opened their eyes. After obtaining the spiritual vision ability of a psychic, this was the first time that Kapak saw the appearance of the Spirit of the Wild so intuitively. Suppressing the excitement and emotion in his heart, he bent down together with Banu beside him, and spoke in Lingyin language.

"Master Blackhoof... Please enjoy this tribute..."

As Kapak and Banu spoke like this, the buffalo spirit called Black Hoof began to lower its head, as if it was sucking some tribute from the stone platform. The luster has become dim, and the runes on the bone fragments will also emit a slight light after being sucked.

The tribute that the wild spirits need is actually the soul in a sense, and more specifically, the embers of the soul.

In the shamanism that is generally believed by the tribes in the New World, it is generally believed that people will return to the great soul after death. In order to make the soul return more smoothly, it is not attacked by evil spirits halfway.After the death of all members of the tribe, a shaman will hold a funeral ceremony for them. The shaman will cremate the corpses of the tribe members above the funeral. During the ceremony, the souls of the tribe members will return with smoke, and the body will be transformed bones.

In the soul theory of New World Shamanism, a person's soul is born from a great soul and then turns back to the world. At this time, the soul and body of the new life are equally weak and fragile. During the growth of the body, the soul inside It will also grow due to continuous cognition and learning, and continuous acceptance of information. When death comes, the soul will become larger and more complex than when it was born.

But in the soul theory of shamanism, the spirit body that returns to the great soul will only be the pure part at birth, and the remaining acquired impurities need to be removed in the cremation ceremony, and the embers of the soul that are finally removed will be stored in the Among the bones after cremation, the most original part of the soul will return to its original nature in the ceremony, returning to the great soul in a clean and innocent posture.

The spirits and spirits of the wilderness like to feed on the embers of souls in these bones, so shaman practitioners will use this to make offerings to the spirits of the wilderness. The bone fragments on the stone platform, It is the bone fragments of their tribe members after they died and cremated. As a reward for holding the funeral, the shaman will ask the family members of the deceased for a few bone fragments with the most abundant embers of the soul of the deceased, and then after processing, The ultimate tribute to the spirits and spirits of the wild, as it is now.

Before Kapak and Banu, the soul of the wilderness named Blackhoof was enjoying the tribute offered by the shaman apprentices, and Kapak also bowed down respectfully, while looking curiously at the spirit of the wilderness in front of him.

But what he didn't know was that at this moment, among the spirits floating above the open space, there was a very strange existence. In the flickering of the soul fire, this group of spirits would occasionally flash a translucent human form , and this figure, wearing a suit that obviously does not belong to the aboriginal people of the tribe, the spirit body wearing a gentleman's hat floats in the sky, pretending to be a local spirit, silently watching the scene below.

On a small hillside not far from the forest clearing, a group of white-skinned men dressed in the costumes of the "civilized" world were gathering at this time, the leader of them was wearing a dark cloak and a hood , Looking in the direction of the altar in the distance, a symbol was engraved on the white glove he was wearing, and there was a symbol of closing eyes on a coffin.

Chapter 330 Ambush

In the vast woods of the New World, somewhere in the glade, the fire-like spirits of the soul are flying all over the sky. Kapak and Banu are still holding the spiritual sacrifice devoutly. The spirit bent down in front of it, respectfully waiting for it to suck the tribute on the stone platform, sucking the remaining embers of the soul on the bones.

While the Wild Spirit was inhaling, Kapak and Banu also lowered their heads and muttered silently.

"Dear Wood Hoof, according to your previous request, I have already cut down the diseased trees in the Southern Forest, and the disease will not continue to spread."

"Respected Wood Hoof, according to your previous request, I have buried the corpse of the invading beast in the Northern Forest and stroked its spirit. Its restless spirit should be able to calm down."

Kapak and Banu whispered to the Wild Spirit that the Wild Spirit is the spokesperson selected by the environment. In a spiritually rich environment, the Wild Spirit will appear to express its will, so the Wild Spirit will To maintain their own environment, practitioners of the shamanic path can also please the spirit of the wilderness by helping to maintain the environment in which the spirit of the wilderness lives.

Listening to Kapak and Banu's words, Wooden Hoof, who seemed to be full, raised his head, looked at the two people in front of him, and nodded, then closed his eyes, and then the spirit body began to emit a slight Light, Kapak and Banu immediately closed their eyes after seeing each other, and began to resonate with the wooden hoof. In the dim light emitted by its own spirit body, the wooden hoof seemed to emit a little thread of light, Into the body of Kapak and Banu.

"Thank you, dear Woodhoof..."

After feeling the increase in spirituality, Kapak and Banu immediately bowed and thanked them, and the wild spirit with the appearance of a bison turned and left after looking at them twice, and the translucent spirit merged into the big tree behind it among.

After the wooden hoof disappeared, all the soul fire spirits that had been floating around rushed up to the stone platform, and began to devour the remaining embers of the soul in the bone fragments on the stone platform, while Kapac and Banu After Wood Hoof left, he still bent over for a long time, then stood up, and silently backed away.

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

"It's not too little. It's more than the last time of the spirit sacrifice. Maybe it's because we have completed Lord Woodhoof's task this time."

"Yes, helping Master Woodhoof maintain the environment can gain some spirituality, but it's a pity that this kind of task is occasional, this time there is no task..."

Banu responded to Kapak, and then the two chatted a few more words in the glade, and at 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, Kapak said to Banu that although the two of them belonged to different tribes, they were together for a part of the way back.

"Go back today, brother Kapak, I still want to communicate with the spirits here." Banu said to Kapak. A piece of bone was shown to Kapak. Obviously, this piece of bone was not dedicated to the wooden hoof as a tribute. According to Kapak, he was going to dedicate the bone piece to the spirit here later.

"That's it, Brother Banu, you really worked hard. If this is the case, then I will leave first."

"Hehe, you are progressing so quickly. As a senior, if I don't work harder, I will be overtaken. See you next time, brother Kapak."

In the end, Kapak waved goodbye to Banu, then turned his head and left the open space at the spirit sacrifice site, and Banu also stood there, watching Kapak's figure disappear into the shadows.

Then, Banu's complexion sank, and he turned his head to look behind him, in the big tree where the wooden hoof spirit disappeared.

……

In the woods with a faint white mist, Kapak walked during the period, and just successfully completed another spiritual sacrifice ceremony. Kapak, who has successfully accumulated spirituality, is in a happy mood at this moment.

"There is more spirituality in my body. According to Mr. Bachelor, the spirituality I am mainly accumulating now is the spirit of 'Sabi'. According to him, besides 'Sabi', there are five other things in this world. This kind of spirituality, it turns out that besides all kinds of miraculous and advanced technologies on the other side of the sea, even things on the extraordinary level are so colorful...'

Feeling the growing spirituality in his body, Kapac thought in his heart and said that recently, he has not only been receiving the education of traditional Uta shamans, but also often asks fellow Akha believers through the magical picture books. He asked the "Bachelor" of the "Bachelor" for advice, so he knew a lot of basic knowledge of the mysticism of the main continent.

'According to Mr. Bachelor, the practitioners of extraordinary strength in their main continent divide the levels into five levels, and the one I am in now is the lowest apprentice level.According to Mr. Uta, I am just a shaman apprentice now, and I need to go through another step to become a real shaman, that is to say... a real shaman is equal to an Extraordinary of the black soil step of the main mainland.

"In addition... According to Mr. Bachelor, I need not only the 'Sabi' spirituality that I have been accumulating to be promoted to the Black Soil Rank, but also need to choose a supplementary spirituality from other spiritualities. I don't know the traditional shamanism of our tribe. What kind of spirituality is the road supplemented by? '

Walking in the forest, Kapak thought so curiously in his heart, and suddenly, he thought that Uta's teaching method to him seemed to have changed recently.

The old shaman often asked himself to show up in front of his tribe on his behalf, and would bring him with him at any important ceremony, as if deliberately improving his prestige among the tribe, and even asked himself not to be too close to the people because of medical treatment , to put on airs, and to maintain a sense of mystery and seriousness in daily life, which made Kapac feel a little uncomfortable for a while and put forward opinions, but he was severely warned by Uta.

'Be a shaman!If we are the most respectable and worshipable people in the tribe!Everything we say and do needs to reflect mystery and majesty!remember!What you are about to become is a shaman who can communicate with all spirits. You need to regard yourself as a god among the tribe. You need to establish an unbelievable prestige with your words and deeds, so that the people of the tribe will feel grateful and affectionate towards you. And become adoration!This is crucial to your success as a real shaman! '

The harsh words of the old shaman echoed in Kapak's mind. His words made Kapak feel that the shaman's journey seemed to require the worship of the tribe. This may have something to do with the accumulation of auxiliary spirituality as the scholar said. relation.

"Whether it's Mr. Uta or Mr. Bachelor, they are all knowledgeable and experienced people. It is really a great honor for me to be taught by them at the same time, and it is all because of Ah. Card of favor.

'Being able to look at me in a remote place and give me a gift... What is the purpose of Akka?Although Akamin seems to be asking for knowledge on the surface, but he has as profound believers as a bachelor, is the knowledge I can contribute really important to him?Could it be that He has seen my people suffer so much and chose me to redeem them? '

In less than two months, Kapak, who has undergone a major transformation, said with emotion while walking, and while walking, he suddenly frowned slightly, as if remembering something He touched his body, and then his face sank.

"Oops... I forgot to bring back the bones of the spiritual sacrifice..."

Kapac murmured with a sullen face that the bone fragments he took for the spiritual sacrifice were left after the cremation of the people in the tribe. After the spiritual sacrifice was completed and the embers of the soul inside were sucked clean, they could not be thrown on the Regardless of the wild.According to the shaman's practice, these bone fragments should be taken back and preserved in a proper way, and sometimes they can be used as props for some rituals.

Kapac, who suddenly realized that he forgot to take something, panicked, then he looked around and found that he hadn't gone too far, and it should be too late if he rushed back now.

"Hurry up and go back and get it. It's great that if Banu is still there, nothing should be lost, but don't let any animal take it away."

Thinking of this in my heart, I immediately turned around and walked towards the scene of the spiritual sacrifice.

In order to be able to return to the tribe before dark, Kapak walked forward quickly, all the way forward in the dark forest, and after a while, he came to a position very close to the place of the spirit sacrifice, but here, Kapak Feel the movement ahead.

"boom…"

A muffled sound came from far away, the ground trembled slightly, the birds in the forest were startled flying up, and Kapak, who felt the abnormal movement, froze in place. In the eyes of his psychic, there was a spirit in the distant forest. Fleeing to his side in a hurry, Kapac immediately used his ability to appease a spirit when he saw this, and asked it about the situation.

"What's going on up ahead?"

The group of spirits stopped by Kapak seemed to have finally calmed down after the soul flame flickered for a while, and then it sent a message to Kapak with special words that only psychics could hear.

Chapter 330 Ambush

"White skin! The white skin invaders brought many other spirits to invade Woodhoof's sacrificial place. Woodhoof is very angry and is fighting with those white skins!"

"The white-skinned intruder..."

Hearing this response from the spirit, Kapak's face sank suddenly, and then he immediately ran forward quickly, towards the direction of the forest sacrificial field. The movement that came from it became louder and louder.

Finally, Kapac ran to the edge of the sacrificial field in the forest. After arriving here, he did not rush into the sacrificial field immediately, but hid among the bushes first, began to observe the situation in the sacrificial field, and then His eyes widened.

At this time, the forest sacrificial field, where he had just held the spiritual sacrifice, was in chaos. On the edge of the sacrificial field, there was a circle of figures in black clothes with their faces covered. The long gun faced the center of the sacrificial field, and there was a huge monster there.

This behemoth is three to four meters high, and it is composed of rocks, vines, fallen leaves, soil... and other different natural things, forming a tall beast with the shape of a bison. In the hollow eye sockets surrounded by mud, there is a long soul fire leaping, the muscle-like rock is abnormally thick, the horns made of solid wood are still stained with blood, and the surrounding ground is still bloody. corpse.

Kapak could recognize it at a glance. It was the wooden hoof, the spirit of the wilderness. In order to deal with the intruders, it used the surrounding environment to build a huge new body for itself, around its natural body.There are still many fire-like spirits floating around the surroundings, and in the sky above the glade, there are still many strange spirits that Kapak doesn't know.

These spirits do not exist in the form of soul fire, but in the form of embodied spirit bodies. They are almost all dressed in the clothes of the main continent. There are men and women, with painful faces, and terrible scars on their bodies that caused their own death. Kapac could feel the pain in these spirits, and could feel that they were being enslaved by something again.

'Those spirits... are enslaving those who are hostile to Woodhoof!And those people in black don't feel right...'

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kapak judged in his heart, and at this moment, the natural body incarnated by the wooden hoof also made a dull and loud noise, stomping its hoof and began to sprint quickly in the sacrificial arena Standing up, the huge and strong body rushed across the small open space, crushing the men in black with guns surrounding it.At the same time, the ghosts from the main continent in the sky also rushed towards Wood Hoof amidst howling, wanting to directly attack Wood Hoof's spirit body, the spirits around Wood Hoof also fought back, fighting with those ghosts. They entangled with each other and formed a ball.

The battle on the sacrificial field broke out again. In an instant, several black-clothed men were torn to pieces under the huge force of the wooden hoof. Facing the collapse of their companions, the remaining black-clothed men did not feel the slightest bit. Instead of being timid, he held a rifle and fired at the huge natural body in front of him. The continuous gunshots resounded through the forest for a while, and the bullets shot at the body made of rocks, trees and mud, and there was no sound except for splashing dust. to any effect.

The roar continued, and the wooden hooves continued to sweep away the men in black on the sacrificial field. Countless men in black were easily crushed by the wild power of the wooden hooves, and the men in black's guns could hardly do anything to the wooden hooves. However, even so, these people in black showed no sign of retreating at all. They faced the almost impossible enemy without the slightest cowardice, and this made Kapac, who was watching the battle, puzzled.

'These guys... are no match for Woodhoof at all, aren't they afraid of death?wait...that's...'

Kapak, who was observing the battlefield normally, quickly realized that something was wrong. He found that there was no trace of blood flowing out of the wreckage of the men in black that had been squashed by wooden hooves. On the contrary, these wreckages were still there move!

In Kapak's eyes, white bones were exposed from the broken black clothes. Even though the normal body had been crushed, the other half of the body was still holding a gun and shooting at the wooden hoof. His mask fell off, revealing a terrifying skeleton.

'These guys... are bone puppets that have been reactivated after being attached to fragments of incomplete dead souls! '

Using his psychic ability to perceive, Kapac, who quickly realized the essence of those men in black, thought in his heart that now he has realized what Woodhoof is facing.

'It's extraordinary!Extraordinary from the mainland to manipulate the undead!And there may be more than one, they are hiding in the dark, manipulating the undead under them to attack Wooden Hoof! '

Kapac realized the situation in front of him, and at this moment the situation on the battlefield began to change.

In the sacrificial arena, the wooden hooves kept smashing the skeleton soldiers who were attacking them. On the surface, these puppets had little to do with the wooden hooves. However, after the wooden hooves smashed another skeleton soldier, unexpectedly It happened.

After the skeleton soldier was stepped on and broke a leg, the huge pressure seemed to touch a mechanism on its body. Suddenly, a roaring noise and flames erupted from the skeleton, and a violent explosion broke out. Going out, swallowing one of Wooden Hoof's legs, Kapac was frightened for a moment, covered his ears, closed his eyes, and lay down on the ground.

When Kapak opened his eyes again, the situation on the sacrificial field had changed. The right front leg of the wooden hoofed natural body had disappeared in the explosion just now, and its whole body almost fell uncontrollably. Fortunately, under a strange force, the gravel and fallen leaves on the ground quickly gathered, and the wooden hoof was re-gathered into a thinner leg, and the wooden hoof barely maintained its balance.

At this time, among the woods, more skeleton soldiers in black clothes with guns in hand walked into the sacrificial field, facing the wooden hooves within.

'It's...dynamite...ss...no!Those guys not only have extraordinary abilities!And advanced weapons!Woodhoof will be in danger if this continues! '

Clutching his head, Kapac, who was about to wake up from the explosion, couldn't help but think of this scene before him, and then he immediately planned to help Wooden Hoof.

"Woodenhoof is our wild spirit, I must help it... It's useless to deal with those skeletons and ghosts directly, I must find the person who manipulates them!" '

With a strategy drawn up in his mind, Kapak began to prepare for action. He planned to find the Extraordinary who manipulated these undead, as long as he got rid of these undead, it would be resolved.

Immediately set off, Kapak, who was hiding in the bushes around the sacrificial site, was about to find someone. After groping around for a while, he found a figure as expected. But found that figure seemed somewhat familiar.

'Banu...'

Yes, the figure Kapac found was not a stranger, it was Banu who came here with him before!It's a shaman apprentice from a neighboring tribe!At this time, he was also hiding in the bushes, quietly observing the battle in the sacrificial field.

Seeing Banu, Kapac breathed a sigh of relief, then let go of his hostility, and slowly approached him. Then, from Banu's back, he gently patted his shoulder to greet him.

"Hey, Banu..."

"Ah! Ah! Ah... Hu... Yuan, so Brother Kapac, you... why did you come back suddenly?"

He was taken aback by Banu who was saying hello from behind. After turning his head and seeing Kapak, he looked terrified. He seemed to want to pull something out from behind but was stopped immediately. He took two steps back before panting. When he came back to his senses, he replied calmly.

"I'm sorry for scaring you so much... I forgot to take the bone fragment, and now I came back to get it. I didn't expect to encounter this situation suddenly. Listen to me, Brother Banu, the wooden hoof was given by the extraordinary people of the invaders. Attacked, those undead are their subordinates... We now need to find those who are manipulating them and defeat them! Otherwise, Woodhoof may be in danger."

Looking at Banu in front of him, Kapak said seriously, after listening to Kapak, Banu paused, and then nodded seriously.

"So it's all the ghosts of those white-skinned demons? Then we must not let them go, let's go, let's find where they are hiding! Brother Kapac, lead the way!"

"Um……"

Listening to Banu's words, Kapak nodded seriously. Having a companion by his side gave him a lot of peace of mind for a while, so he turned his head and prepared to continue looking for the hidden manipulator of the undead.

And just as Kapac took two steps, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then, a strong sense of dizziness surfaced in his will.

"This is……"

With an expression of astonishment, Kapak fell down. When the gloom welled up, he turned around with the last effort, but when he reached the ground, he saw Banu holding a thick wooden stick with a look on his face. Indifferent look.

Chapter 330 Detention

A clearing in the forest somewhere in the New World, which originally belonged to the Spirit of the Wild Sacrifice, has now become a fierce battlefield. The wood hoof of the Spirit of the Wild has gathered mud, rocks, branches and fallen leaves into a natural body in the shape of a bison, trampling on the vault crazily Looking at the skeleton soldiers surrounding him, he crushed waves of black-clothed skeleton soldiers to pieces. In the sky above the sacrificial field, the spirits guarding the wooden hooves were also entangled with the ghosts controlled by extraordinary people. The scene was full of eerie howls.

The skeleton soldiers used guns and explosives to deal with the wooden hooves. The guns could hardly have any effect on the wooden hooves, but the roaring explosives blew up the huge natural body of the wooden hooves several times. Quickly repair the incompleteness caused by the explosion of the surrounding environment, but this kind of repair always consumes spirituality, and the part of the structure that has been repaired hastily is not stable.

On the other hand, those skeleton soldiers can continue to fight in an extremely mutilated condition, leaving only the upper body and a head... Even if they are dismantled to pieces, those skeletons can move on their own, even It can be assembled by itself when the degree of destruction is not large. Although the wooden hooves seem to be able to quickly smash and scatter skeleton soldiers, it is very difficult to completely stop their activities. These skeletons fight tenaciously in a damaged state. , and some even try to reorganize themselves. If this continues, the strength of Wooden Hooves will only become weaker and weaker through wear and tear, which is not a solution.

Wooden Hoof also understood his predicament. Facing the skeleton soldiers who were constantly attacking him, Wooden Hoof had a new countermeasure. At this time, a faint luster appeared on its giant horn made of branches. With another sudden swing, a large piece of skeletons were completely crushed, and countless bone fragments were scattered and scattered. However, this time, these skeletons did not stubbornly climb up again with their crippled bodies, but lay quietly. In situ, become a real corpse.

This time, Wood Hoof added spirituality to his attack, and used his own "Ji" spirituality to attack the incomplete remnant soul in the skeleton soldier. After the remnant soul was broken, the skeleton soldier could no longer move.

This move by Wooden Hoof successfully made a large number of skeleton soldiers completely incapacitated, but it also intensified the consumption of their own spirituality, and this is indeed what the black hand behind the attack wanted to see .

On a small hill not far from the sacrificial site, a figure wearing a dark cloak and a hood was looking into the distance, watching the battle between the wooden hooves and the skeleton soldiers, watching the wooden hoof The body of nature, she said slowly in a low female voice.
