I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 930, Strange Accumulation in the Heart

Translator: Silavin

Ban Ye stood completely stunned. Experiencing a Shaman Technique at such close range for the first time, he did not know what to do.

He stood rigidly in place like a wooden post, not daring any rash movements.

Though previously a Totem Warrior in his Tribe, the Tribe had not lasted long before perishing.

He had never been in close contact with a Shaman, only glimpsing one from afar occasionally. Much less experiencing Shaman Technique at close range, especially by such a formidable Shaman.

Ban Ye had previously seen his Tribe’s Shaman perform Shaman Techniques. At the time, those Shaman Techniques were supposedly quite powerful.

Compared to what he witnessed now, however, those Shaman Techniques were utterly insignificant, like a novice before a true Master. He was shocked beyond words.

“…” Yu Ying also stared, transfixed.

Her pink fox tail swayed continuously. Though she had witnessed the Shaman perform this Shaman Technique so many times, seeing it again remained awe-inspiring.

Su Bai kept his black eyes tightly closed, using the Curing Skill to investigate exactly where damage existed in the young man’s body.

His Curing Skill had already reached Level 10, naturally evolving and unlocking a different function.

Like performing the Growth Acceleration Skill, he could make trees grow according to his Will.

“Something seems to be blocking it,” Su Bai’s brow furrowed slightly as he continued investigating the bodily abnormality.

This was his first time seeing accumulated matter within a Totem Warrior’s body. This substance resembled a mass of congealed blood.

A Totem Warrior’s Totem Mark extended outward from the heart first, and the accumulated mass in Ban Ye’s body was precisely at the heart.

“It should… should be from years without proper rest and training.” Su Bai’s brow furrowed. “Then suddenly advancing to the Mid Grade, your Totem Power got obstructed.”

He could not be entirely certain. This was merely his hypothesis, synthesised from Ban Ye’s previous lifestyle. Combined with his advancement journey to the Mid Grade, everything had seemed both smooth and troubled.

This was most likely the reason for his persistent problem. The Totem Power at his chest could not properly extend.

Su Bai withdrew his large hand. The emerald light instantly dissipated.

“Shaman, how is it?” Ban Ye anxiously wanted to know his body’s condition.

“Don’t be rude,” Ye Jiu immediately stepped forward to restrain him, feeling he was excessively impolite.

“Yes.” Ban Ye immediately lowered his head, slowly raising it to ask, “Shaman, is it serious?”

“Activate your Totem Mark for me to see.” Su Bai wanted to examine the other’s Totem Mark to confirm whether his assessment was correct.

“Of course.” Ban Ye hesitated momentarily but still nodded, instantly exerting force throughout his body to activate his Totem Mark.

His heart began faintly emitting pale green light, after which the Totem Mark visibly extended towards his shoulders.

The Totem Mark then began extending towards his arms, similarly creeping quietly towards both legs. However, the entire process was not particularly smooth. Ban Ye seemed to be in extreme pain.

His forehead and back were already drenched in perspiration. The sweat beads were exceptionally large, like soybeans dropping in large droplets onto the carpet.

Finally, the Totem Mark extended halfway to his limbs before stopping. Ban Ye’s entire face had flushed red.

His appearance demonstrated extreme pain. Never had a Totem Warrior’s Totem Mark activation been like this.

“Indeed. Like I suspected.” Su Bai had already verified his hypothesis by 80%.

“Shaman, what’s wrong with me?” Ban Ye seemed completely drained, collapsing to the ground in heavy perspiration. Where he lay was completely soaked. Clearly visible sweat beads could be seen sliding down his arms. One could imagine he was now visibly weakened beyond measure, looking like someone who’d endured tremendous hardship.

“Let me examine you once more.” Su Bai extended his hand to the other’s head again.

As emerald light blazed forth, the Curing Skill was performed once more. He continued investigating the other’s internal condition.

Su Bai again discovered identical accumulations within the body, located at the heart.

After using Totem Power, the accumulated area had clearly grown larger.

[It seemed to be growing, slowly spreading outward. Feels like a parasite…]

“This is rather ominous,” Su Bai kept his brow furrowed, continuing, “Withdraw your Totem Mark. Let me confirm something.”

“Alright.” Ban Ye raised his hand to wipe forehead sweat, completely reabsorbing his Totem Mark.

“As expected,” Su Bai kept his eyes closed, continuously sensing changes within the other’s body.

That mass of heart accumulation changed with the Totem Mark.

[How strange… This is like some organism constantly entrenched onto his heart, with the Totem Mark serving as a pathway for it to move. As the Totem Mark is withdrawn, that parasite would similarly be recalled.]

Su Bai finally understood why the other experienced pain each time manifesting the Totem Mark. This was definitely related to that heart accumulation.

“Shaman, what’s wrong with me? Can it be treated with herbs?” Ban Ye was extremely exhausted at this moment.

In the forest, this happened every time. Encountering formidable Ferocious Beasts, he could only flee.

With his true strength, he could naturally confront those Ferocious Beasts. However, activating Totem Power always brought him extreme pain.

Therefore, Ban Ye chose to flee. He would not voluntarily choose to experience such pain.

This was also why in the forest, he could only catch small beasts. He had been barely able to fill his stomach.

“Your condition is quite bad. That substance is something I’ve never seen before.” Su Bai’s expression instantly turned serious, continuing to ask. “Don’t you yourself know what happened to you?”

He knew matters were not that simple. The other’s body definitely harboured some secret.

Ban Ye was somewhat confused, bewilderedly shaking his head. “I really… really don’t know.”

He tried hard to recall. He had not encountered anything unusual. He had just suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable inside.

“When did you start feeling extremely uncomfortable?” Su Bai asked.

He had not expected the other party would not know anything. This made matters far more troublesome.

“It seems… seems it was shortly after leaving my original Tribe.” Ban Ye lowered his head, counting on his fingers.
