Chapter 280 Controlling Power
The jungle at night always brings a silence that makes the warriors feel depressed. If there is a noise there, the warriors will inevitably become frightened birds.
Today's journey was extremely difficult for them. They fought a battle with a mutated pig, avoided a group of man-eating trees, and finally encountered a mutated cheetah when they rested at night.
After two battles, although no one was injured, the equipment was already damaged and the warriors were also injured.
At dinner time, Chief Shi discussed the issue of advance and retreat with Captain Ran. This time, Chief Shi did not only let Captain Ran participate, but called all the team members over.
Moving forward, life or death is uncertain, but the danger increases exponentially.
Retreating is not unacceptable. Only Chief Stone will be injured, and the others will not be criticized or ridiculed for it.
This is not the first time they have explored the area where the green meteorite fell. This time they have walked deep enough.
After fighting two beasts continuously for a day, the warriors' totem power is running low and needs to be restored. The warriors were also seriously injured, and their weapons were even more damaged.
"If we encounter two more beasts, we will have to deal with their claws and teeth with our hands."
Captain Ran looked at Chief Stone and said so.
Chief Stone nodded. He also saw the situation very clearly.
"How about I go ahead alone and you guys go back the same way?"
Chief Shi gave an idea. Seeing that Captain Ran was about to object, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Captain Ran from speaking.
"Listen to me first. I didn't do this on a whim. I had it since we set out."
Everyone looked at him in confusion. It was not easy for ten people to move forward, so how could he move forward alone?
"You all know that I am very good at hiding in the jungle. If I were alone, I could have avoided the two beasts I encountered today."
He said with certainty.
Everyone was surprised, but then they thought that this was really possible.
Since Shi became a totem warrior and joined the patrol team, he has been in the same team with them. They recognize Shi's abilities, especially his ability to detect.
Previously, they had never encountered ferocious beasts following the path explored by Shi. The second beast they encountered today was a coincidence. It suddenly broke into their group while they were having dinner.
Shi had discovered the first beast early on, but when they were moving forward, a team member disturbed the mutant pig, which led to a fight.
"You are alone without support, I will go with you."
Captain Ran was worried about Leader Shi moving forward alone, so he spoke up.
"No, without you leading them, they are in danger."
Leader Shi looked at the other eight companions.
They showed a look of shame. They were supposed to move forward together to help Leader Shi win, but in the end they became a burden.
"Don't think too much. Without your company these days, I wouldn't be able to get familiar with the jungle so quickly. Let's take a rest tonight, and we'll go our separate ways tomorrow."
He said this very firmly. Everyone looked at each other and nodded helplessly. After
finalizing the plan, the warriors had some insomnia during the night's rest. However, Chief Stone slept as usual, as if he was not affected at all.
He has a big heart. Looking at Chief Stone who was sleeping soundly, they thought so.
Late at night, Shi was awakened by the pain in his arm. He opened his eyes and skillfully pulled out the stone knife and stabbed it to the right.
"Crack."
With a slight sound, the stone knife stabbed the tree trunk, and many warriors woke up.
"What's wrong?"
Captain Ran asked in a low voice.
"It's just a small bug. It's nothing serious."
Chief Stone stared at the green leaf stuck on the stone knife. A reptile's body slowly formed under the green leaf near the root of the leaf.
The magical animal that bit him had a plant upper body and an animal lower body.
"How weird."
Chief Stone muttered, carefully observing this magical creature in the moonlight.
Green liquid flowed out from the place where the green leaf was pierced by the dagger. A faint green light emanated from the green leaf of the little thing, converging in the direction of the damaged leaf, and soon the green liquid stopped flowing.
"Can it be controlled?"
Chief Stone asked curiously, and then looked at his palm.
When he uses the power of totem, a layer of totem fire-like power will appear on his body, but this power cannot be controlled, or in other words, it cannot be controlled by instinct.
He has never thought about controlling this power, and the totem warriors before him have never thought about it, but at this moment, he suddenly wants to try to control this power.
The totem warriors before did not control it because this power belongs to the totem, the power of faith.
In their view, this is the power given to them by the totem, how can they control it?
The stone leader also thought so before, but this little bug suddenly opened his imagination.
"Since it was given to me by the totem, why can't I control it? It's not a totem."
Thinking about this, Chief Stone's heart became a little hot. He tried to mobilize the totem power and concentrate it on his palm, but it was obviously extremely difficult.
The totem power will obediently burst out from the body and will also obediently retract, but it is impossible to control it.
However, Chief Stone is a persistent person. Even when he didn't have the totem power, he could still stick to the team's training method for decades.
When the sky was bright, Chief Stone finally succeeded once. A small part of the totem power in his body flowed into his palm, which made the totem power on his palm suddenly become a little thicker.
A thread, almost invisible to the naked eye. If the moving totem power was not also from the Stone Chief, he would hardly have noticed it.
"Whoosh..."
The Stone Chief waved his palms a few times, bringing up a real wind sound. The warriors all looked over in surprise, not understanding what he was doing.
"I don't feel anything, is it meaningless?"
He thought so, and tried to clench his fist and hit the tree trunk.
"Bang."
The tree trunk trembled, and a fist mark was left on it. The Stone Chief carefully felt the force just now.
If it were someone else, he might not be able to grasp the changes in the fist force so well, but when he didn't have the totem power, he didn't know how many times he had swung his fist, and his control over the power had already reached the pinnacle.
"It's a little bigger, it's feasible."
After making such a judgment, the face of Chief Shi showed a rare look of surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Captain Ran couldn't help but ask when he saw Chief Shi waving his hands and punching early in the morning.
"I found some methods to use the power of totems, and I'm still studying them."
Chief Shi was telling the truth, but Captain Ran was very surprised, because such research usually occurs in witches.
Chief Shi gave him a rare smile: "I'll take you back, and then I'll do it myself."
"Let's go back the same way, it's not dangerous."
Captain Ran felt that this was too much trouble for Chief Shi, and it was not dangerous to go back the same way, so there was no need.
"It's okay. I'll study the use of totem power. If I can control it better, it will be safer for me to explore forward."
Chief Shi gave a reason that Captain Ran didn't quite understand, but he could see Chief Shi's determination, so he didn't stop him.
