By the time evening arrived, the Blackhoof Tribe was bustling with more people than yesterday when Song Jian was welcomed; for today was the annual sacrificial ceremony of the Blackhoof Tribe. The young minotaurs of the tribe had been preparing their bodies and minds at home, hoping for the blessings of their ancestors and the chance to acquire better skills through the sacrificial ceremony.
Xerxes was one of the most outstanding warriors in the Blackhoof Tribe. He had spent a month alone in Thunder Beast Mountain to train before the sacrificial ceremony, only returning to the tribe three days ago.
Once he returned, he locked himself in his room, refusing to talk to anyone as he tuned his body and mind to its peak condition.
