Chapter 24
Chapter 24 – What’s your name?
Translated by Sunyancai
At the end of the ceremony, Shao Xuan felt that something was wrong.
Before he realized it, the totemic patterns on his body were almost complete, he had been staring at the flames inside the fire pit. Since he knew that all the changes on his body were because of the awakened totemic power, he didn’t worry about it anymore. However, ever since he stood by the fire pit, he felt an odd sense of intimacy with the flame inside. He did not know if it was a common feeling for all the kids who were awakening their totemic powers. At that moment it was impossible for him to ask someone in detail, so, he kept staring and studying the flames inside the fire pit.
By the time the Shaman announced the end of the ceremony, Shao Xuan withdrew his attention from the fire pit. He was planning to joke with his “sworn rival” Sai who was standing beside him, he looked at Sai, but to only find a skeleton standing right next to him. Shao Xuan was nearly scared to death, he almost reflexively kicked him away. Looking around, all the people who were walking and the warriors that finished the ancient dance, together with every kid standing around the fire pit turned into skeletons in his eyes. He could no longer recognize who was who.
All the ones talking, walking and swinging their arms and legs, all became skeletons.
Shao Xuan was stupefied.
He did not know if it was just him, or was it the same case with all totemic warriors. Back when he was chatting with Lang Ga and Mai, the only thing he knew about totemic power was that once the power was awakened, one’s body strength and reaction speed would greatly improve. However, he never asked about whether they could see skeletons. Who would have thought of that?
“Ah, it’s you. Come closer and let me have a look at you.” the Shaman looked at Shao Xuan and said.
Shao Xuan stepped forward and stood in front of the Shaman. He was curious about what this old shaman might say, would he mention Caesar? Did he feel guilty about ignoring him for nearly a year? Didn’t he know how difficult it was to keep a wolf?
Shao Xuan gazed at the old skeleton sitting on that stone stool, and the Shaman stared at Shao Xuan attentively as well. He asked in the same benevolent and gratified way, “You. What’s your name?”
Shao Xuan was speechless for a moment. Apparently, this old shaman did not recognize him.
