Chapter 169: Labor

The pregnant Wolf Totem's belly had not grown, which worried Diwu Xuan so much that he kept asking her if she was sure she was pregnant.

Wolf Totem clearly stated that she must be pregnant. She could feel the life in her belly, but her belly did not grow, and she didn't know why.

For this reason, Diwu Xuan went deep into the wolf tribe and observed the pregnant female wolves. He found that the bellies of those wolves were all big, only Wolf Totem's belly was not big. He didn't understand the specific reason.

"Eat more, sleep more, and exercise moderately."

Unable to figure out the reason, Diwu Xuan could only start from other directions.

Sleep and exercise are easy to solve, but eating is a big problem. Most of the meat stored in the tribe is frozen meat, and there is very little fresh meat. For this reason, he had to disrupt the hunting plan that the leader of 500 people had put on top.

Because he couldn't communicate and explain, he could only participate in the hunting himself. After catching the prey, he would bring it back to the tribe and hand it over to the Wolf Totem as soon as possible.

After five or six days of torment, the fifth generation leader finally understood what he meant, and established three temporary transport teams, mainly composed of Wolf Tribe warriors.

Their task was to run in three directions every day, looking for hunting teams, asking for fresh meat to bring back to the Wolf Totem.

Not only that, there was also a directional transport team that only went in the direction of the Ox Tribe. Its only task was to ensure that the Wolf Totem had fresh fish to eat every day.

The food improved, but the Wolf Totem's belly still didn't grow. It wasn't until a month later that it bulged slightly.

"This is too small."

Staring at the Wolf Totem's belly, the Fifth Xuan said.

A wolf den can give birth to four or five cubs. With the size of Wolf Totem's belly now, the cubs born are estimated to be only the size of a thumb. It is difficult for them to survive in this icy and snowy environment, let alone the trial.

"I can feel that he is very healthy."

Wolf Totem stroked his belly with his claws, and then raised his head to look at Diwu Xuan.

"How is your altar preparation going?"

"Almost done."

Diwu Xuan raised his head and looked up. There was a clear sky with white clouds and blue sky.

The sky was bright, but in his opinion, it always felt that there was a haze behind it.

"Do you really want to try?"

Wolf Totem asked with some concern.

The power of heaven and earth has targeted Diwu Xuan more than once or twice, and she has been there every time. Even if the two have never discussed it, how could she not know.

"I have to try. I can't live without the Totem of Jinming."

The Fifth Xuan also thought about delaying and waiting, but what's the point of waiting?

Waiting for the power of heaven and earth to explode? Or waiting for him to be merciful and let him go?

If it was just targeting him once, he could treat it as a passing by, or an unintentional mistake, but it's not the first time, no matter what, he has to face it.

If he has to get stabbed sooner or later, he would rather do it sooner.

Besides, this is not an impulsive decision. The power of heaven and earth has interfered many times, but it has never directly killed him once, which shows that he has some concerns. Since he

has concerns, there is room for maneuver. The Fifth Xuan does everything according to the rules, and at most he will not succeed.

"When are you going to try?"

asked the Wolf Totem again.

"Wait a little longer, wait until you give birth. If something unexpected happens, the Fire Tribe won't be without support, right?"

Diwu Xuan said lightly, but Wolf Totem couldn't help frowning.

"No, wait a little longer."

She advised.

"No need."

Diwu Xuan rejected.

"Then I'll advance first." Wolf Totem stood up and advised.

"I'm too extreme in both rituals, and the Yin and Yang Totem just meets the requirements. What about you? What totem column do you use?"

Wolf Totem couldn't answer this question. Although she also listened to the method of advancement, she was still a little confused throughout the process. She didn't understand many things and couldn't find the way.

"Be calm and take care of the baby. Everything will be discussed after you give birth."

Diwu Xuan said at last.

Half a month passed quickly, and Wolf Totem's due date also arrived. In recent days, she has been hiding in the altar of the Ox Tribe alone, and the surrounding area has been cleared.

Scar Giant Wolf would come to see her from time to time, but Wolf Totem didn't like him very much. After scolding him several times, Scar Giant Wolf could only watch from a distance.

"You are too fierce to him... This is not good."

Diwu Xuan didn't know how many times he had said this, but when he saw Wolf Totem baring his teeth at Scar Giant Wolf, he couldn't help but say it.

When he observed the pregnant female wolves in the Wolf Tribe, he found that the Wolf Tribe was really monogamous, and the male wolves were all very good to the female wolves.

During the pregnancy of the female wolf, the male wolf would leave food for the female wolf, and the male wolf would eat after the female wolf was full.

This is even the case after the mother wolf has given birth. It is not until the cubs are weaned that the male wolf will regain control of the food supply.

"This has nothing to do with you."

As she was about to give birth, Wolf Totem's emotions fluctuated greatly, and he was not very nice to Diwu Xuan, especially when it came to Scar Wolf.

"Excuse me for being nosy, okay, how long will it take you to give birth?"

Diwu Xuan asked again.

"It will be in these one or two days. Don't come over then. I can do it by myself."

Wolf Totem said.

Diwu Xuan nodded: "Do you really want the people of the Wolf Tribe to worship my totem fire?"

Wolf Totem: "Yes, I have decided on this matter. My children will also worship your totem fire. Otherwise, I will not be at ease if they are outside."

The wolf totem children must be sent outside to train three months after they are born. It is freezing cold today, and it will be much easier for them to worship the totem fire of the Fifth Xuan with the Seventh Generation Shaman.

The Fifth Xuan nodded, asked the little turtle to bring the fresh fish, and then went out to see the arrangement of the sun and moon totems.

He planned to use the sun and moon totems directly as the totem pillars for his promotion, instead of using their fire, because he thought that the power might be stronger this way.

This requires the production of stone pillars that can be embedded with the sun and moon totems. The moon totem is relatively easier to make, but the sun totem is much more troublesome because it is in the shape of a bow.

That night, the Fifth Xuan was asking the little turtle to carve the stone pillars according to his wishes, and suddenly heard a howling sound coming from the direction of the altar.

He listened carefully to make sure he had heard correctly, and then asked the little turtle to put down his work and go check on the wolf totem. However, just as he approached the platform, the wolf totem's voice came.

"Don't come over, I can do it myself... woo woo..."

Her tone was low, and there was pain in her voice.

"Okay, if you have anything, just tell me."

Diwu Xuan responded, and when he turned his head, he saw the scarred male wolf looking at him not far away. A pair of green lights flashed in the darkness, which scared Diwu Xuan.

He couldn't communicate with the wolf, so he didn't say anything, just waiting quietly.

Soon after, the witch and the leader of the wolf tribe also came over, and they seemed much more anxious, because the next generation of wolf totems would appear among the wolf cubs born.

Totems are the future of the tribe, and they can't help but worry.

Everyone was nervous all night until the daybreak, when the Wolf Totem's voice came.

"Come up."

Her voice was weak, but full of joy.
