I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 600, The Influence of the Blood Moon

Translator: Silavin

Su Bai had Yu Ying prepare quite a few things, all of which were needed for the ceremony.

Every time the eternal night arrived, the Tribe’s Shaman would hold a ceremony. This ceremony was meant to encourage the Warriors.

Originally, Su Bai did not want to hold this ceremony. His intention was to gradually modernise the Tribe. Rather than letting this Tribe continue to maintain its previous wild customs, he wanted to end it. Of course, this did not mean that everything was bad. He just wanted these ceremonies to be cancelled if possible.

After all, these ceremonies took far too much time and were also very labour-intensive. Mainly, they served the purpose of providing peace of mind and had absolutely no other function whatsoever.

However, one could not cancel everything all at once, so it had to be done gradually. Today’s ceremony still needed to proceed as usual.

“Shaman, everything you requested has been moved to the square by our people,” Yu Ying said.

Yu Ying had specifically prepared the blood of three types of Ferocious Beasts, as well as the juices of two types of berries, and some other things like horns and fur from various Ferocious Beasts.

All of these were items used in previous years’ ceremonies. Of course, these things had long since been exchanged from the Spotted Deer Tribe.

“Good.” Su Bai nodded, changed his clothes and left the Yong’an Building, preparing to conduct this rather complex ceremony.

*Step step step…*

More than ten minutes later, everyone arrived at the square outside the Yong’an Building. Now, apart from the Warriors outside, the rest of the Flame Dragon Tribe were hiding in their respective rooms.

This was also Su Bai’s order. After all, those people were not Warriors, and if they were still running about randomly within the Tribe, it would only distract the Warriors. So, it was better to have them stay in their rooms.

“Shaman, is there anything you need me to do?” Yu Ying immediately asked from beside him. At this moment, she was also very nervous inside. After all, tonight was the eternal night, and the originally pale yellow Moon in the sky was slowly turning blood red. It was naturally ominous.

“Help me mix the blood of these three types of Ferocious Beast together.” Su Bai instructed, while he took several other Ferocious Beast items and began burning them.

“Yes.” Yu Ying immediately opened three bottles made from Beast Bone, pouring all the blood inside into a wooden bowl.

After that, she took a small twig and continuously stirred it in the bowl, thoroughly mixing these three types of blood into one.

Su Bai mixed together the horn of a Unicorn Bull, the fur of a Long Fuzzy Squirrel, and the claws of a Two Tailed Fox, and burned them.

After burning these three items, he placed them in the mixed Ferocious Beast Blood, and finally stirred everything together, allowing these items to fully fuse with the blood.

Su Bai continued operating according to the memories in his mind and also dripped in the juices of two types of berries.

After completing these tasks, he began closing his eyes and chanting incantations. This was something that was done every year before the eternal night.

Although some ceremonies were very pointless and useless, this could still come in handy.

Because of the arrival of the eternal night, the Moon in the sky would turn into a Blood Moon. The light emitted by it could easily confuse people’s minds.

This was precisely the reason why those Ferocious Beasts went mad. Not only would those Ferocious Beasts have their minds confused by looking at the Blood Moon’s light, but Humans would also feel uncomfortable after looking at it.

It would not directly cause madness, but dizziness and weakness might happen.

If those Warriors were to properly fight against the Ferocious Beasts, they definitely needed to have some immunity to the light of the Blood Moon.

What Su Bai was making now was exactly an item to solve this. As long as the blood of these Ferocious Beasts was mixed with some other materials, it would allow those Warriors to resist the influence of the Blood Moon.

As the incantations continued to sound, the blood in the bowl began to gradually change.

From the initial blood-red colour to the later dark red after adding other Ferocious Beast Blood, and finally after adding the mixture of other Ferocious Beast materials, it began to turn black.

But as the incantations continued, the blood was no longer black, but became a pale green colour.

“Alright, Xiao Yu, give it to the Warriors to drink.” Su Bai stopped chanting.

As long as the Warriors drank this blood, they would be able to resist the influence caused by the Blood Moon.

“Yes.” Yu Ying immediately nodded, instructing people to begin dividing this blood into portions, and then distributing it to each Warrior.

Of course, she and the Shaman also drank it, because their living quarters had floor-to-ceiling windows, and the Blood Moon’s light would penetrate inside.

“So, this is eternal night?” Su Bai looked up at the completely red Moon in the sky. [This feels strange.]

This scene was just like something that would appear in films from Earth, eerie and very nerve-wracking.

“Shaman, everyone has drunk.” Yu Ying ran back.

“Good, let us go to the front and have a look, to see how everyone’s preparations are going,” Su Bai gestured with his chin.

“That would be too dangerous, Shaman, we cannot go to the front,” Yu Ying immediately stopped him.

“It’s fine, since it has not started yet, there’s no need to worry too much.” Su Bai stepped forward. He was not worried about any great danger, as he had his Skills to deal with issues.

*Step step step…*

Although Yu Ying was very worried, she also trusted the Shaman in her heart and quietly followed behind.

She surveyed the surroundings of the Tribe and said, “Shaman, those people really have not come out.”

What Yu Ying was referring to were the people of the Flame Dragon Tribe. Now, looking around, there were no people on any of the main roads, not even at the barbecue shop.

“These three days are the most dangerous, they definitely won’t come out.” Su Bai said.

He had already instructed. That no matter what, they must not go outside during these three days.

Three meals a day would be delivered to their doors. Even if they did not go out to bathe during these three days, it did not matter. Everyone had to stay in their respective rooms.

“Shaman, do you think those Ferocious Beasts will break through our wooden walls?” Yu Ying worried.

What Yu Ying was most worried about were those rows of wooden walls. If those walls collapsed, it would be terrible.

“If the Ferocious Beasts charge over, then they will collapse, but the Warriors are there to prevent that from happening,” Su Bai said.

Walls made of wood were definitely not as sturdy as those made of stone. If those frenzied Ferocious Beasts collided with them, they could still collapse.

“I hope they don’t cross the defensive line…” Yu Ying began to hope.
