Chapter 281 Help

When returning, we took the same route we came from.

This route had been explored once, and with the second exploration by Chief Stone, we did not encounter any danger.

However, Chief Stone encountered problems frequently along the way. He either stepped too hard and fell from a tree, or he did not have enough strength and jumped into the air and fell to the ground. This did scare some beasts that were not very aggressive, such as giant rabbits, but they were all solved by everyone.

"Are you okay?"

Captain Ran asked worriedly during the night rest.

"No problem, I'm just trying to control the power of the totem, and I can't control it well for a while."

Chief Stone hesitated for a moment, pulled him aside, and explained in detail the whole process of his perception.

Captain Ran looked at Chief Stone in surprise, opened his mouth wide, and didn't say a word for a long time.

He was first surprised at Chief Stone's delusion that he actually tried to control the power bestowed by the totem, but then he realized Chief Stone's trust and couldn't help but be moved.

It was not until he thought of the last point that he looked at Chief Stone with reverence.

"Are you afraid that you will never come back?"

Chief Stone told him this at this time, obviously because he was afraid that he would die on the road, an idea that no one else could think of.

Chief Stone did not hide it and nodded vigorously.

"You don't have to go."

Captain Ran advised.

He felt that even if Chief Stone did not become the team leader, he was still a trustworthy warrior, and at least there was no problem in being a captain.

"I must go."

Chief Stone said firmly.

"The leaders have always wanted to explore the situation in their hometown. They want to know what happened there and whether the changes in the beasts are related to that place. If they don't find out, the leaders will not feel at ease and will easily make wrong decisions."

Planning before making decisions is a tradition passed down by four generations of witches. Maybe not everyone understands it, but Chief Shi understands it.

Captain Ran nodded and said in a deep voice: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Chief Shi nodded and knocked his left chest with his right fist: "For the tribe."

"For the tribe."

The conversation between the two ended here, but Captain Ran couldn't sleep again that night. He thought about Chief Shi's safety for a while, and then thought about the control of the totem power.

His mind was in a mess. But in the end, he didn't dare to take the step of controlling the totem power like Chief Shi. This is the power of the totem, given to him by faith. He felt that he was honored to have it.

Control? He doesn't deserve it

. This is his real thought.

Chief Shi doesn't have so many scruples. He has longed to become stronger and to become a totem warrior since he was a child. The obsession in his heart makes him pursue only becoming stronger.

Becoming stronger is his life philosophy.

After a night of trying, Chief Shi's control over the totem power has been strengthened. Now if he concentrates his power in one place, the changes in the totem power there are already visible to the naked eye.

Captain Ran naturally saw all this. In addition to worry, there was also a trace of yearning in his eyes.

The thicker the totem power, the stronger it is. Why is the Ice Bear Tribe so strong now?

It was because the cold weather increased the totem power in them. But if the Fire Tribe warriors could control the totem power and make the totem power on their fists stronger at the moment of punching, they could fight against the powerful Ice Bear Tribe warriors without losing.

With the warriors trained by the team, if they had totem power that matched them, with the same number of people, the Fire Tribe would not have to fight as badly as last time.

"I hope you come back safely and I hope you succeed."

Captain Ran said with sincere hope as he watched Chief Shi jumping away between the treetops.

After bidding farewell to the team, Shi started on his own. He kept trying to increase the totem power on his feet and hands, which made him jump higher and faster, and more powerful when he grabbed the branches with both hands.

It took him just over half a day to reach the end of the day's journey. He stopped to eat lunch at the place where he had camped before.

He glanced at the position of the sun on the treetops. There was still half of the afternoon left.

"Rest here for a while and move on tomorrow." He

didn't dare to move forward rashly. A very important reason was that he had been constantly mobilizing the power of the totem that day. Yes, his totem power had weakened a lot and he needed to rest and recover.

In the long night, he curled up alone on the highest treetop, constantly trying to mobilize the power of the totem until there was not much left and then he slowly fell asleep.

Shi made almost no sound when he was sleeping, and his breathing was also very weak. This made him safer. It was a habit he developed through hard training.

When the sun rose and the light of dawn pierced his face, he woke up.

He took out the dried fish from his arms, ate it while judging how far away the green meteorite was.

"Even if we move forward slowly, we can reach there today."

After swallowing the dried fish in his hand, Shi moved his body, dived down a little, and began to run and jump on the tree. He

tried to control the totem power for two days, and he was running and jumping most of the time. Therefore, his control over the totem power concentrated on his feet has gradually matured.

Now he can make the totem power on his feet increase by one-fifth, and this increase shows that the power and speed are close to one-quarter.

"Roar..."

A roar suddenly came from a distance, sounding like an angry beast.

Shi stopped on the treetop, listened with his ear to the side, and could vaguely hear people shouting.

"People from the Fire Tribe."

He judged the situation in an instant and rushed over without hesitation.

After running for a short distance, I saw the people of the Fire Tribe fighting with a mutated black panther. The black panther was extremely fast, leaving a trail of phantoms in the dark jungle as it moved, making it difficult to catch.

"It's Yan's team."

Shi stood on the treetops and saw the leader of this team, Captain Yan.

He is a strong competitor for the team leader besides Captain Zhuo, and is also the captain who is most at odds with Zhuo.

It can be said that without my appearance, the team leader should be selected from these two people.

"Stay together, stay together, and retreat."

Yan held a shield in his hand. He was a swordsman and the team he led were mostly swordsmen and shieldmen. At this time, they were forming a circle to resist the attack of the black panther.

"Two people are injured already."

Shi glanced at the warriors surrounded by them. One of them was lame, and the other had a bloody back. They had lost their fighting ability.

The black panther was still moving around, trying to find a way to attack the enemy.

Shi was not in a hurry to come forward. It would be meaningless for him to go down at this time. He

gently took out an arrow stained with the root fluid of the man-eating plant from his quiver. He looked at the running black panther with his peripheral vision, afraid that looking directly at it would alert the beast.

Wild beasts are naturally alert, and they are even more so after turning into ferocious beasts. Therefore, Shi was very cautious.
