Chapter 358 Red Copper Dagger

When he was able to communicate with the Fourth Generation Shaman, the Fifth Xuan tried to ask the Fourth Generation Shaman to look for ore.

Unfortunately, the Fifth Xuan himself did not have any skills in finding ore, and there were no obvious open-air mines on the East China Sea, so no ore that could be smelted was found.

On the way out of the sea and back to the Fire Tribe to the west, the Fifth Xuan also tried to find ore, but he did not find it that time either.

At the edge of the desert, the Fifth Xuan also searched many times, but did not find anything.

Including when he met other totems, he also asked if any totems knew about the existence of metal, but no totem said that they had seen the thing that the Fifth Xuan said was harder than rock.

This made the Fifth Xuan think that there was no ore in this world at all, and he even gave up looking for it.

But he didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly. An inadvertent visit actually allowed him to discover copper ore.

The discovery of ore and the completion of smelting are the signs of the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, and are products that span the ages.

Diwu Xuan wanted to stop the team and refine the copper ore on the spot, but he still suppressed his excitement.

"What's wrong with you? So happy."

Yue Tuteng noticed the change in Diwu Xuan with her sharp eyes. Looking at the smile on Diwu Xuan's eyebrows, she was quite puzzled.

"I'm happy to see the Stinky Grass Tribe so comfortable."

Diwu Xuan just found an excuse to fool around without giving any more explanation.

As the team moved forward, someone had already notified the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe. Looking from a distance at this time, he could see the chaos in the Stinky Grass Tribe.

The sudden arrival of this team made them panic and confused.

Soon after, the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe came out with many warriors to greet them. They knelt on the copper rust grass, and their knees were stained by the purple flowers.

"Get up, everyone, are the Stinky Grass Tribe living well here?"

The Fifth Xuanshi was so excited that his words were a little light.

The Third Generation Herb Shaman and the Tapir Shaman noticed this change quickly. They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Thanks to the great Fire Totem for his concern, with the support of Dongyu from the Earth Spirit Tribe, the Stinky Grass Tribe is no longer troubled by hunger, and has received millet seeds and support from the Ox Tribe. We are ready to start planting millet to resist the hunger brought by the Ice Age."

The leader's words were full of gratitude, which made the Ox Totem quite proud.

"Look, those are the people from our Ox Tribe, and each of them is the kind of talent that the Master said."

The Ox Totem pointed to the Ox Tribe people kneeling next to the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe and said.

He seemed to have forgotten that this tribe member was a savage, and at the same time he did not despise their stupidity.

"The Ox Tribe is indeed full of talents, and I will let more people enter the Ox Tribe in the future."

The Fifth Xuan was in a good mood and did not mind revealing some of his arrangements to the Ox Totem.

Hearing this, the Ox Totem smiled clearly, opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of big white teeth, and his big ox eyes narrowed into slits.

The Moon Totem looked at the Ox Totem with envy, and then looked at Diwu Xuan.

Diwu Xuan had long thought of expanding the number of people in the Ox Tribe. Entering the agricultural era from the hunting era is the only way for the Fire Tribe, and the people of the Ox Tribe who are good at planting must be the top priority.

This is related to the future of the entire tribe, so how could Diwu Xuan not focus on training them?

A hunter can only support one or two people, but farming is different. One person can replace several hunters. This is the biggest difference between the two. Only

by using fewer people to support more people can we liberate the labor force and achieve further development.

Diwu Xuan put aside these thoughts, and communicated with the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe for a few more words, and proposed to go to their tribe to see their totem.

Diwu Xuan was still quite curious about the Stinky Grass Tribe totem. He wondered if the totem would be a large piece of copper. After all, the totem fire was very hot, and it had been burning for many years. Maybe the tribe had already refined copper.

After entering the Stinky Grass Tribe, Diwu Xuan soon saw the Stinky Grass Tribe totem stone. It was a piece of copper ore, not a large piece of copper, which made Diwu Xuan slightly disappointed. After

communicating with the Stinky Grass Totem for a few words, he found that this guy was a little stupid, and estimated that the time of intelligence was not long, which made Diwu Xuan slightly surprised.

The witch of the Stinky Grass Tribe is so smart, but their totem is very stupid, which is really weird.

Normally, a tribe's totem is smart, which makes its believers smart. If the totem of this tribe is stupid - such as the cow totem - then most of its believers will also be stupid.

"Your witch, didn't belong to your tribe before?"

Diwu Xuan asked the Stinky Grass Totem.

"He was picked up from the snow by the witch of the previous generation. I don't know which tribe he belongs to."

The answer given by the Stinky Grass Totem confirmed Diwu Xuan's guess, and Diwu Xuan had no more interest in communicating with it.

His eyes turned to the totem fire of the Stinky Grass Tribe, and found that there were some red copper blocks in some places under the totem fire, which further confirmed that this was an open-air copper mine.

And it looks like the quality is pretty good... Diwu Xuan thought with delight.

That night, the leader of the Stinky Grass Tribe held a grand welcoming ceremony for the arrival of the Fire Totem. Diwu Xuan was not interested in this, but he did not leave early due to consideration.

At night, Diwu Xuan did not let the team live in the Stinky Grass Tribe, but chose to find a place nearby and built a temporary station.

At the same time, he informed everyone that the team would stay here for a while, but it was not yet certain how long it would take.

This puzzled everyone, but Diwu Xuan was in no mood to explain. That night, he lit the totem fire and prepared to smelt copper overnight.

Diwu Xuan had no idea how copper would be refined in later generations, but he planned to refine it directly with totem fire. After all, the temperature of totem fire was controllable and could reach extremely high temperatures.

Directly wrapping some scattered ore on the ground with flames, the Yang-attributed totem fire began to rise continuously, making the entire totem fire become hot.

This change naturally attracted the attention of a group of witches. They gathered in front of the totem fire and watched the ore rolling in the totem fire in confusion.

The flame gradually heated up, and slowly the ore began to melt. There were slags. The Fifth Xuan directly controlled the totem fire to separate them and continued to drive the flame to refine. Slowly

, the ore melted completely, and all the impurities in the middle disappeared. The Fifth Xuan controlled the Yin-attributed totem fire to accept the pure copper liquid, and controlled it to stretch it and make it look like a long sword.

Using the Yin flame to cool the copper liquid, the liquid slowly turned into a solid, and finally turned into a purple-red long sword.

Diwu Xuan frowned. He remembered that the bronze sword was not this color. This color was more like the copper wire he had seen before, and the copper wire was extremely soft and not suitable for making a long sword.

Could bronze be an alloy?

Diwu Xuan made a guess in his mind, and after thinking about the description of "green", he became more certain.

If it was an alloy, it would be too troublesome. He had no idea what was combined with copper to form bronze, and he didn't know where to find another material.

The purple-red long sword completely cooled down, and it exuded the unique luster of metal. Diwu Xuan threw it out of the totem fire.

"Pah."

The one-meter-long purple-red sword fell to the ground. As luck would have it, there was a stone there, and the sword landed right on it, with a slight crease.

This... is too fragile.

Diwu Xuan suddenly remembered that a documentary he had watched seemed to have introduced that before the appearance of iron swords, bronze swords were very short, because the texture of copper was very soft, and they would easily bend if they were too long. It was

tough enough, but not hard enough.

Diwu Xuan made such an evaluation in his heart, and then he signaled the third-generation Herb Wizard to come forward and take a look at the sword.

Through the shape, the third-generation Herb Wizard could confirm that this was a sword, but it was not made of stone, but of... burnt stone.

The third generation of the Herb Wizard stepped forward and picked up the purple-red long sword. He waved it twice, and the long sword actually showed a noticeable bend.

The Fifth Xuan covered his face in the totem fire. He didn't know whether to say that the third generation of the Herb Wizard had a strong hand or that the long sword was too soft.

"It may also have something to do with the fact that this long sword was forged too thin. I remember that the swords in the Spring and Autumn Period were all short and thick. I can try to forge a short sword of that shape later."

The Fifth Xuan thought, looking at the third generation of the Herb Wizard swinging the long sword.

"I'll try."

Zhuo suddenly spoke up and took the initiative to ask to try this long sword that he had never seen before.

The third generation of the Herb Wizard threw the long sword in his hand over. Zhuo grabbed the long sword in mid-air and swung it hard with his right hand. The long sword actually bent on the spot.

Everyone present was speechless, and Zhuo was looking at the long sword in his hand in surprise.

"It's okay, throw it into the totem fire."

Diwu Xuan gave a direct order, asking Zhuo to throw the long sword into the totem fire.

The long sword was thrown into the totem fire, and Diwu Xuan blew the hot yang-attribute totem fire directly, quickly refining the long sword into molten copper.

Then he used the yin-attribute totem fire to take over. This time he did not make a long sword, but a short sword, about thirty centimeters long, with a thick blade and a particularly prominent spine.

The short sword shot out, and this time he directly controlled the direction and shot the short sword in front of Zhuo's eyes.

He grabbed the short sword, turned his wrist, and the short sword turned a circle in his hand, and then he made several postures.

Slashing, stabbing, blocking...

Diwu Xuan was terrified, afraid that the short sword would bend like the previous long sword, but this time the situation was much better, and there was no change.

"I'll try using the totem power." Zhuo

said, preparing to use the totem power.

The warrior who uses the totem power will have a lot more strength, speed and reaction. He said this because he was afraid that the short sword would bend like the previous long sword in the face of greater power, and it would be difficult to explain to the fire totem.

Diwu Xuan naturally didn't mind. This was originally for warriors to use, and they must withstand greater power.

"Buzz."

The totem power emerged from Zhuo's body, and the power spread from his body, including his right hand holding the sword, which also carried the totem power.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhuo was about to make a few moves when he suddenly discovered that the totem power in his hand was spreading along the dagger.

Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. The black and white totem power in Zhuo's hand went up along the handle of the red copper dagger and slowly and completely enveloped the entire dagger.

This change was really too unexpected.
