Chapter 345: Doubts Begin
Upon hearing this, Zhi understood why the man was so anxious. For a large tribe like the gorillas, the lack of an heir was indeed very dangerous. If something unexpected happened, the tribe could face internal strife and collapse, or even extinction.
Just as Zhi was pondering this, Shi suddenly said cautiously, "Have you noticed that since last autumn, the Beast God has been giving fewer and fewer instructions? By winter, I could no longer sense the Beast God's presence. I've prayed and offered blessings many times without receiving any guidance. Have you experienced something similar?"
Upon hearing his words, Zhiyi immediately knew where the problem lay.
To be honest, ever since he confirmed that the leader of his tribe was the goddess and that he had sworn to follow and be loyal to her, he had not communicated or prayed with the beast god, so he was unaware of this situation.
"Please wait a moment, I'll try to communicate with them."
After saying this, he knelt on the ground, muttering incantations and continuously sending prayers and guidance upwards.
As he continued to chant the special language for longer and longer, a white halo gradually appeared around him.
Looking at that pure white halo, one knows it is the power of a great shaman. Only a true great shaman possesses such abilities.
However, as time went by, the white halo flickered, as if it had been disturbed in some way.
Zhi's forehead gradually broke out in a cold sweat. He felt as if he had bumped into an invisible barrier, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not penetrate it to make contact with the Beast God.
Shi stood by, clenching his fists nervously; he had never seen anything like this before. After a long while, Zhi slowly opened his eyes, his face full of exhaustion and confusion.
"How is it?" Shi asked hurriedly.
Zhi shook his head. "It's strange. It's never happened before. It's as if some force has severed our connection with the Beast God."
Shi's eyes widened, her face filled with terror. "What should we do? Has the Beast God abandoned us?"
Zhi stood up, patted Shi on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't panic, I think I might know why."
After speaking, he took out his divination tools. He silently used the animal bones and the specially made tools to perform divination, and soon he reached a conclusion.
"Shi, you said that you gradually lost contact with the Beast God starting last autumn, is that right?"
Upon hearing this, Shi immediately replied, "Yes, I can still sense the Beast God occasionally in the autumn, but I can't sense it at all in the winter. At first, I thought the tribe had done something wrong to anger the Beast God, but after a lot of prayers and offerings, I still can't contact it."
After hearing this, Zhi nodded silently and said, "Yes, it's not your problem. There's a reason why you can't get in touch with them."
Upon hearing this, Shi quickly said, "Do you know what's going on? Please tell me."
He didn't know whether his reasoning was correct or not, but he simply sent someone to summon his leader.
Their leader was brought back from the Lala Mountains by Sen last autumn, and there's a reason why the Lala Mountains are known as a forbidden land for orcs.
He discovered that the leader was a goddess, and it happened close to winter. However, he couldn't sense the beast god's presence at that time, leaving him no choice but to speculate further.
A short while later, Ruan Mianmian walked in. Upon seeing the leader of the Eastern Tribe, she quickly greeted her.
After Ruan Mianmian sat down, she explained why she had come to the tribe and also mentioned that they could not communicate with the Beast God.
Zhi emphasized in particular the time when they lost contact with the Beast God, which happened to coincide with the timeline of Ruan Mianmian's appearance.
