Chapter 167: The Lame
"You said, if the people of the Wolf Tribe danced the sacrificial dance with the Fire Tribe, would they no longer be afraid of the cold?"
The Wolf Totem asked as they ran to the Ox Tribe.
The Fifth Xuan had never thought about this question because it involved a question of faith.
"In the past, the people of the Fire Tribe also danced the sacrificial dance to the Sun and Moon Totems, and some warriors even became Sun and Moon Totem warriors. So if the people of the Wolf Tribe danced the sacrificial dance of the Fire Tribe with the Seventh Generation Shaman, they should be able to resist the cold winter, but there are certain problems."
The Fifth Xuan thought for a while and spoke.
Wolf Totem: "What's the problem?" "
It's a question of faith. You were there when the alien warriors of the Sun and Moon Totem were massacred. Many of those people are direct descendants of the Fire Tribe."
The so-called direct descendants refer to the descendants of the Fire Tribe who migrated from the sea with the Fourth Generation Shaman.
"Initially, the Fire Tribe performed sacrificial dances for the Sun and Moon Totems just to ignite the totem fire to resist the cold winter, but later, things changed qualitatively."
Fifth Xuan did not say anything more, but the Wolf Tribe already understood what Fifth Xuan meant.
The totem has a great influence on the tribesmen, so great that the totem itself cannot control it.
Fifth Xuan has thought about the reasons.
The will of the totem can influence the tribesmen, but it cannot determine the tribesmen's thoughts. Before the tribesmen believe in the totem, they are individuals first.
If people without faith will die, there will be no savages in this world.
On this basis, the will of the totem is more often just a seed. The seed is planted in the heart of the primitive man, takes root and sprouts, and grows into what kind of fruit. To a large extent, it has been out of the control of the totem.
One kind of rice can raise a hundred kinds of people, let alone thoughts.
"I'm not afraid of the Wolf Tribe merging into the Fire Tribe."
After a long silence while running, Wolf Totem suddenly spoke.
"I'm afraid of the Wolf Tribe merging into the Fire Tribe."
Diwu Xuan said almost without thinking.
Wolf Totem looked at Diwu Xuan in surprise, somewhat confused.
"If everyone enters the Fire Tribe, I don't think it's a good thing, just like the catfish effect... Uh, this will make the Fire Tribe complacent, think they are right, and too proud."
Diwu Xuan looked at Wolf Totem, he saw confusion in Wolf Totem's eyes, which made him feel that he had to explain the matter more thoroughly and concretely.
"The Fire Tribe needs allies, not recklessly absorbing people from other tribes."
"Even if it merges into the Fire Tribe, the Wolf Tribe will still be the Wolf Tribe, just like now."
Wolf Totem said.
"The cluster effect... Once the Wolf Tribe is completely integrated into the Fire Tribe, it will no longer be something you and I can control. The risk is too great."
The Fifth Xuan tried his best to reject the Wolf Totem's wishes.
In his opinion, healthy social relationships are very important. If the Fire Tribe absorbs and devours a tribe it meets, then there will be no social relationships.
To be more realistic, if the Wolf Tribe is integrated into the Fire Tribe, it is likely to lose its existing characteristics.
At that time, for the Fire Tribe, they will only gain a few more strong warriors, but lose an ally similar to a nomadic people.
In the eyes of the Fifth Xuan, this is a loss.
Although the Wolf Totem could not fully understand the Fifth Xuan's meaning, he could understand his refusal, so he chose to keep silent.
The group came to the side of the Ox Tribe in silence and ignited the totem fire again.
"Hey, why are you here again? Two little spirit totems."
The Bull Totem's voice had a sense of superiority, completely different from the last time.
"I'm here to show my cards,"
said the Fifth Xuan.
The Bull Totem: "I'm a bright totem, I'm not afraid of you."
No matter how he heard this, there was a hint of fear. The Wolf Totem glanced at the Fifth Xuan and gritted his teeth.
Diwu Xuan also chuckled: "You have been sleeping for too long. You have been sleeping from the last ice age to this ice age. That is to say, you did not wake up when you should have, but woke up when you should not have."
"This ice age has just begun?" The Bull Totem's voice was full of surprise, "But the Dragon Tribe said that they would wake me up after the ice age is over."
"They obviously did not keep their promise, or they have also experienced something, and even the previous Dragon Tribe has disappeared. This is... another Dragon Tribe."
Diwu Xuan speculated, which made the Bull Totem completely silent.
In the long silence, the Wolf Totem cut off the Totem Fire: "How are you going to convince him to follow you?"
"I don't need to convince him, I just need to trick him."
The voice of the Fifth Xuan was a little teasing.
This Bull Totem obviously didn't have a very good brain. Just as he guessed before, it might be because he had been sleeping for too long, or it might be because he was eaten by the little turtle and his brain was damaged.
To deal with such a person, there is no need to persuade him with pros and cons, just guide him and trick him at the right time.
"He doesn't say anything, so what do you say? Is it really good to just keep silent?"
The Wolf Totem asked doubtfully.
"The best way to negotiate is not to speak yourself, but to let the other party speak. Whoever can't stand the loneliness will lose."
The Fifth Xuan said.
The Wolf Totem nodded, but she couldn't understand why when he argued with her, the Fifth Profound Mystery was full of big principles, and whoever spoke first would lose. Why didn't this theory work with her?
After waiting for a while, the Ox Totem really spoke: "What do you want to do this time?"
"Save you."
The fifth Xuan uttered two words, but the Ox Totem felt ridiculous.
"I need you to save me? I am the Ming Totem."
"The Ice Bear Tribe will come from the north, and the many spirit tribes of the Dragon Tribe will come from the west. They are not as gentle as me. In my opinion, the Ox Tribe does not seem to be good at fighting."
The fifth Xuan looked at the warriors of the Ox Tribe. They were stubbornly confronting the warriors
of the Fire Tribe, but they were not aggressive at all. This made the Wolf Tribe warriors mixed in with the Fire Tribe warriors extremely disdainful. An enemy without any aggressiveness was not worthy of being called an enemy.
Ox Totem: "I can farm, they need me."
"What can you grow in the freezing ice age? A spiritual weapon made of a bright totem may be more meaningful."
As soon as the Fifth Xuan finished speaking, he saw the totem fire on the ice of the Ox Totem suddenly tremble.
"You won't make me into a spiritual weapon?"
The Ox Totem asked quickly, with anxiety and expectation in his voice.
"Look at the Wolf Totem next to me, we are allies, and the Fire Tribe has never let down its allies."
The Fifth Xuan said proudly.
"Indeed."
The Wolf Totem interjected at the right time.
"If you agree to join the alliance led by the Fire Tribe and follow us to migrate to the east coast line, then your safety will be guaranteed. I guarantee it with the honor of the Fire Tribe."
The Fifth Xuan said sincerely.
This chapter is for myself. I wrote more than 12,000 words yesterday because a large part of it was postponed to be rewritten. It is easy to write too much when the word count reaches 10,000. If you find that I am writing too much, please remind me and I will adjust it (that is, restore it to 6,000 words and pay more attention to the words and content). I will try to push the limit and see how many days I can reach 10,000 words.
