Arutu brought the three of them to a semicircular igloo, bent down and got in, followed closely by the three of them.
The igloo was covered with soft animal furs and a fire was lit. Although it was somewhat warm, the air was turbid and smelly. Arutu was kneeling on one knee with a necklace of skulls hanging around his neck and wearing clothes made of elk skin. In front of the old woman, she whispered something.
Finally, the skin had lost its tightness. The old woman, whose face was drooping, raised her head and stared at Ma Wei and the others. After a long time, she slowly took out a smooth black wooden statue from her arms. He held it in his hands and muttered something.
"Mother-in-law is praying."
Arutu gestured to the three Mawis to signal them not to speak loudly, then knelt in the fur, closed his eyes and waited quietly for the response of the true god Yakuru.
Gradually, the wooden statue lit up, and the true god Arutu responded. At this moment...
Edward frowned fiercely and turned to look at the side of the igloo.
Yunia also cast her gaze where he was looking.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing their strangeness, Ma Wei asked in a low voice: "What's the problem?"
"There is a force coming from that direction." Yunia said: "It is transmitted directly to the statue of the god."
This is the first time this has happened. You must know that when they fought against the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny before, Ma Wei and others also saw the saint Yin Fulin praying to the gods. When the Three Goddess of Destiny dropped the oracle, the source of the power could not be traced, as if It came from the void and had no clear direction, otherwise...
Edward and Yunia had already felt it.
Now, when the old shaman prays, Edward and Yunia actually feel the source of power...
Could it be that Yakuru, the god believed by the Inuit, has arrived?
Seeing that the old shaman was still praying, Mawei simply took out the compass and sextant, walked out of the igloo, and began to determine the direction of Yakuru.
The sextant was aimed at the horizon and compared with the sun. Mavey quickly measured their location. He took out a map, laid it flat on the ground, marked the location, and then drew a line in the direction pointed out by Yunia. ...
Rowed all the way to the shore.
"Damn it!
! "
After determining the location of Yakuru, Mawei's heart stopped and his expression changed drastically. That was the direction where the icebreaker was docked!
!
Just when he gained insight into the direction of Yakuru, a strong wind suddenly came up, and pale ice and snow filled the air. The blizzard came without warning, and the white mist blocked all observations.
"Dad, the breath is gone," Yunia said.
"How is this possible..." Ma Wei murmured: "Could it be that the true god Yakuru is on the icebreaker? No... no... if Yakuru is on the ship, Edward and Yunia should be able to detect it The aura! Unless the other party is the same as Asis!"
"If Yakuru is not on the icebreaker, then it will take advantage of our departure to get on the ship... We will tell them that they are in danger!"
Edward stared at the white fog that obscured the sun and chuckled: "Interesting... Father, this is the fog created by Yakuru. It is confusing Yunia and I's perception. It knows that we have discovered it... .No, it may have been actively exposed.”
"Actively exposed?"
Recalling the fluorescent light of the wooden statue, Ma Wei felt that Edward's speculation was not unreasonable. No one stipulated that the gods must answer the prayers of believers. Since Yakuru knew that they were coming to seek help from the Inuit, it meant that there was enough The foresight of such a god...
Will he accidentally reveal his existence?
The answer can only be that Yakuru intentionally leaked his existence!
But why does it create fog to confuse Edward and Yunia's perceptions?
"Three."
While Ma Wei was thinking, Arutu poked his head out of the igloo: "My mother-in-law has something to say to you, please come in."
After some thought, Mawei, who wanted to return to the icebreaker immediately to investigate the situation, decided to listen to what the old shaman had to say. After all, it was the oracle sent by Yakuru, and he might be able to learn some of the other party's intentions from it.
Back at the igloo, the mother-in-law said a few words that Ma Wei and the others couldn't understand at all. It was purely a language barrier. Fortunately, Arutu translated it for them:
"Yakuru said that we will do our best to help you. You are guests from afar and should be respected... If you need anything, you can tell me directly."
Arutu understood what the true god meant, put aside his prejudices, and immediately expressed his willingness to help the three of Ma Wei.
Care to help?
It seems...
The true god Yakuru seems to be quite friendly and doesn't mean any harm?
"We need a large number of sleds and several guides who are familiar with the terrain to help us leave Northern Siberia quickly." Mavey said quickly: "In return, we will give you a lot of fuel and food to ensure that you can survive This cold winter.”
"No problem." Arutu smiled, stood up and walked out of the igloo: "I will gather the tribesmen right now."
Just as he was about to go out, his mother-in-law suddenly shouted something. Arutu's face changed slightly and he nodded heavily: "Only disaster can fight disaster. I know my mother-in-law."
Arutu has a high status among the Inuit people and seems to be a patriarch. Under his command, the Inuit people quickly provided more than a dozen sleds and selected a dozen strong and capable people. Man, prepare to follow Mavey back to the icebreaker to help.
The white mist covering the sky came and went just as quickly. Yakuru didn't seem to want to hinder the three of Ma Wei. It just let the mist hinder Edward and Yunia's perception. After the short mist, its breath disappeared completely. .
Arutu personally led the team, and the sled dogs pulled the sled and returned to the shore as quickly as possible in the direction directed by Mavi and came under the icebreaker.
There was no one on the deck. Ma Wei hurriedly rushed into the cabin and shouted: "Linwen! Fat Orange! Xiao Hei!"
"Here, here, here..."
The door to the captain's cabin was open. Lai Wen looked at the anxious Ma Wei and wondered, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"Did anything special happen while I was away?"
"Yes!" Laiwen nodded, pointed to the captain's cabin and said: "A dog that can perform acrobatics has come, and everyone is watching its performance!"
"What the hell are you talking about..."
Ma Wei walked into the captain's room confused and saw Katerina, Yakov, fat orange and little black...
All the crew members on the icebreaker are here, no more, no less. At this moment, they are all looking attentively at the husky on the huge desk with one foot on the lifebuoy and an ashtray on his nose performing acrobatics, and they applaud from time to time.
"God's Coming"
There really is a dog that can perform acrobatics.
and...
Judging from the color of its fur, it was the husky digging holes alone that Ma Wei and the others encountered!
