Chapter 449

Chapter 352: Instructions

After Kapak was rescued by the detective and returned to his tribe, he immediately reported to Uta about Banu’s issues. The next day, Uta took Kapak to Banu’s tribe to find him, but Banu had already fled after receiving a warning from the Underworld Coffin Cult. Unexpectedly, Banu hadn’t run far; he had been wandering nearby and now was secretly trying to persuade people!

“Indeed… It seems this matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Since Banu has connections with the invaders’ extraordinary organization, his instigation must be malicious.”

With a serious expression, Uta said this, then took another puff from his pipe before turning to look at Kapak beside him and continuing.

“Kapak, you will set out immediately to the invaders’ country and bring Sado and the others back.”

When Uta spoke, both Kapak and Kejia present were surprised. Kapak looked at Uta in astonishment.

“Bring them back… Is it still timely? Sado and the others have already left for at least two days…”

“No matter if it’s timely or not, we must try. We must stop Sado before he acts, otherwise, the consequences might be unimaginable.

“Kapak, I will write a letter to the chief of the Kiz tribe. They live by the Howling River. You can ride a horse there to deliver the letter to them and ask them to arrange the fastest boat downstream. With their speed, they can reach the invaders’ city on the coast in just one and a half days. After that, you need to find a way to take a ship to the invaders’ country… hmm… read as what… Puleit? Since Sado intends to go to the heart of the invaders, he would definitely go to the heart of Puleit. You have connections there, so you should know more about it.”

Uta instructed Kapak, and listening to Uta’s words, Kapak also knew where Sado was heading.

There are many main continent countries conducting colonial activities in the New World. Multiple different countries have established colonies on the New World, and among these colonies, the one closest to the Tupan tribe is the colony of Prit. They have had the most contact with Prit, so Sado’s referred invaders’ country is clearly Prit. Having read many Prit books and fluent in Prit language, Kapak naturally knows where Prit’s heart is—their capital, Tivyan.

“I understand, Teacher Uta. I will do my best to get there as quickly as possible!”

Following Uta’s instructions, Kapak solemnly said, while Kejia standing beside him was somewhat puzzled.

“Spirit Master Uta… why go to such lengths to bring Sado back? Although I was scared and ran away for a moment… I still think it would be good for Sado to teach those white-skinned people a lesson…”

Kejia muttered, and after hearing this, Uta glared at him, causing Kejia to shrink back and continue seriously.

“Teaching the invaders a lesson is one thing, but if this lesson leads to our entire tribe being affected, it’s another. Sado is like a hand of the invaders squeezing our necks; our resistance here is merely plucking a few hairs from their hands. To make the invaders feel pain, we must hurt their bodies.”

“But have you considered this? No matter how hard Sado and the others fight, they can only cause the invaders minor pain, they cannot k*ll them. But because of this pain, the hand around our necks may tighten and strangle us.

“Sado’s actions will come at a cost. The invaded will retaliate furiously. Even if Sado is indifferent to life and d*ath, the invaders’ anger won’t be satisfied with burning him alone. Ultimately, they will vent their wrath on the tribe, possibly breaking the status quo and attacking us without restraint. Regardless, we will face immeasurable losses.”

The old shaman said this, and beside him, Kejia’s expression became increasingly grim.

“Sado recklessly seeks revenge against the invaders, and apart from his own life, all other costs will be paid by us. He doesn’t consider the consequences, but we will bear them. He can easily sacrifice himself, but others in the tribe have the right to live. His actions are nothing but a mere venting, devoid of any other meaning. Moreover, all his actions are manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, using him as a spear!”

Uta concluded angrily, as if he found it hardest to accept being used as a tool.

Listening to Uta’s words, Kejia swallowed and did not say anything further. At this moment, Kapak seemed to remember something and spoke up.

“Oh, Teacher Uta, although I roughly guessed where Sado went, it’s only an approximate location. The invaders’ city is very large, and finding him accurately will be quite difficult…”

“I’ve already considered this. Don’t worry too much. I’ve prepared a method for finding people. Come with me.”

As he spoke, Uta stood up and turned to walk into the sacrificial tent behind him. Seeing this, Kapak followed.

Entering the tent, Kapak saw a complex sand drawing on the sandy ground. Several totem poles stood around the sand drawing, and in the center of the drawing, a highly abstract animal figure was depicted. In front of the sand drawing, a small altar held several bone fragments.

Kapak had seen a similar scene before. When the spirit body of Wood Hoof returned, Uta had drawn a similar sand painting and erected totem poles beside it, though this time the scale was smaller.

“Teacher Uta… What are you doing?”

“I want to communicate with a wilderness spirit named Soul Whiskers, who is skilled in long-distance sensing and identifying souls. I will ask it to follow you to the invaders’ country to search for Sado. A wilderness spirit cannot stay too far from its environment for too long. Once you get there, remember to find Sado as soon as possible and bring him back.”

Uta said, then sat down in front of the sand drawing and began to extend his hand, chanting incantations under his breath. At the same time, Kapak felt the “Silence” spirituality around him become active.

Accompanied by Uta’s chanting, an invisible wind seemed to start blowing, and the sand drawing on the ground began to stir. Finally, amidst the incantation, it suddenly scattered and flew up, causing dust to fly throughout the tent.

As the dust settled, Uta’s incantation stopped. Inside the tent, within Kapak’s spiritual vision, a spirit body appeared—a semi-transparent, mountain cat-shaped spirit body. It was squatting at the center of the original sand drawing, licking its paws before looking sharply at everyone else in the tent, with its whiskers trembling slightly.

“This… is Soul Whiskers?” Watching this scene, Kapak couldn’t help but murmur.
