Chapter 273 Shi

If you become a totem warrior, what do you think will make you proud?

A strong wife?

Endless frozen fish?

A house closer to the totem fire or the altar?

No, these are not important to Shi, who became a totem warrior in middle age. He thinks the most important thing is to become a totem warrior.

"Be careful and learn more from Shi. He just became a totem warrior, but he has left you far behind in terms of caution."

A team sat in the jungle and ate dried fish.

Their captain looked at Shi who was eating fish silently and said to everyone.

The captain's praise did not make him happy. His painful face still had that wooden expression.

In fact, he grew up with Xiao Pangdui at the same age, but from his face, he is more than 10 to 20 years older than Xiao Pangdui.

He was one of the children who snatched the dried meat from the Sixth Generation Shaman.

He saw with his own eyes the Sixth Generation Shaman praising Xiao Pangdui, and he also saw Xiao Pangdui grow up. However, unlike Xiao Pangdui who seemed to be the child of destiny, he was never the one who was paid attention to.

His frail body made his mother want to abandon him.

All the way to the east, he spent his time in the team of the old and weak, eating the least food and enduring the most painful hunger.

When he arrived at the seaside, he was so thin that he was just skin and bones. That was just when he had reached adulthood, and as expected, he failed to become a totem warrior.

From that day on, he ate fish and drank soup desperately, just to increase fat.

Then he would work out desperately, trying his best to make himself stronger, hoping to become a totem warrior one day.

After unremitting efforts, he changed from a skinny child to a burly man, but the totem power did not favor him, and he still could not become a totem warrior.

For this, he cried alone, punched the wall with his fists, and hit the tree with his head, but no matter what he did, he could not cross the hurdle between ordinary people and totem warriors.

He once thought about giving up, and was extremely decadent at one time, even making people think that he was almost a useless person.

Later, he came out of his decadence, continued to work hard, continued to train, and hoped to succeed one day.

However, no, from a teenager to a young man, from a young man to middle age, he survived his entire youth, but still failed to become a totem warrior.

Just when he accepted everything and was ready to live his life quietly, the big hand of the fire totem spirit slapped him on the head, and then he became a totem warrior.

From that moment on, the fire in his heart was rekindled, but the depression and dull expression on his face could not be changed.

But that doesn't matter. Who cares what a strong totem warrior looks like? In today's Fire Tribe, there is no such thing as relying on looks to make a living.

When he became a totem warrior and was selected to join the team, his ability after years of hard work immediately became apparent.

He was cautious and bold, familiar with all the skills of a warrior, and could handle unexpected situations in battle with ease.

Since signing up to join the team to explore the jungle, his outstanding performance has attracted people's attention in just one month.

"Shi, explore the way."

The captain swallowed the dried fish in his hand and said to him.

In this team, only the path explored by Shi is the most reassuring.

"Yes."

He immediately stood up and began to determine the status of his weapons: the longbow in his left hand, the quiver hanging on his hips, the main stone knife on his left waist, and the spare stone knife on his back waist.

While he was determining the status of his weapons, everyone looked at him.

This is a standard action for warriors to prepare for war, but in fact, many veteran warriors will not conduct such a detailed inspection before every departure.

"You should check it too, don't make the same mistake as last time when you couldn't shoot the arrow."

The captain said, glaring at a warrior who was eating dried fish.

The warrior smiled embarrassedly, ate the dried fish in his hand quickly, and began to check his weapon.

Not only him, but others also began to check.

In fact, they did not think there would be any danger in the jungle. After all, they had been here many times. This was just a routine inspection, fearing that the sudden appearance of wild beasts would run to the Fire Tribe and hurt people.

For such inspections, they really couldn't muster the energy to check their weapons, but there was an honest man named Shi in the tribe. He would follow the rules, and others could only do the same.

"Captain, I'm leaving."

Shi said to the captain, then turned around and hugged the big tree behind him, using his hands and feet, and climbed up the tree in a few seconds.

When he was patrolling, he liked to stand on the tree, where it was high enough and the view would be relatively better.

Not all warriors can do this, because it takes a long time to walk freely on the tree. He also heard from an old warrior that excellent warriors have such skills, so he practiced hard when he was a teenager.

He once thought about making a body without totem power become a warrior with this skill, but it did not succeed.

The physical difference between totem warriors and ordinary tribesmen is too great, and it is too difficult to cross the boundary by hard work.

"Swish..."

The sound of leaves rubbing against each other gradually faded away, and they knew that Shi had gone far away.

"Get ready, we are going to set off too."

The captain stood up and checked his weapons and said.

This team of warriors had ten people, and was responsible for patrolling the jungle north of the Fire Tribe. In fact, there were no particularly ferocious beasts in this direction.

Most of the time, those ferocious beasts ran out of the jungle in the west, so that was the place to be strictly guarded.

Since the jungle became more and more dense, there were more and more wild animals in the jungle, and many of them had mutated like the giant rabbit, and they were so powerful that even three or five totem warriors could not control them.

Because of this situation, the patrol team was adjusted from five people to ten people, and Shi took this opportunity to join the patrol team.

Just as the leader of the ten-man team was stroking the bowstring to test the strength of the bowstring, a rustling sound came from the forest again.

"Shi is back?"

He raised his head in surprise and looked in the direction where Shi disappeared, but found that the sound did not come from this direction, but from the right.

Looking to the right, the shaking leaves were not one or two trees, but a whole tree.

The warrior's instinct made him tense. He reached to his waist with his right hand, pulled out an arrow and put it on the bow.

He did not draw the bow far, but just put the arrow against the bowstring, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

"Be careful, there seems to be a beast."

Beasts are what they call those fierce beasts after mutation.

Each beast is enough to fight against three or five totem warriors, so they have to deal with it carefully.

The warriors who were reminded stood up one after another, some raised their bows and arrows, some took out stone knives, and some held shields.

Everyone was cautious and vigilant.
