Chapter 429 Totem Spirit
It was already dark when Xing woke up. He looked around and was still in the old man's yard.
He wanted to get up, but his body was numb and he had no strength.
Without forcing himself, Xing just lay there quietly, staring at the sky with a dazed look.
Fire City is warm and pleasant all year round, making it the best place to live during the Ice Age, but there are still no stars in the sky here.
In the sky where the power of the Spring Tribe cannot reach, the wind and snow are still raging, leaving those who look up at the night sky with only chaos.
"Awake?"
An old and steady voice sounded, the voice sounded like the old man, but the tone was not the same at all.
"Who are you?"
Xing turned his head and saw a figure sitting not far away.
With the help of the light from the totem fire in the distance, it can be vaguely seen that it is the appearance of an old man, but this person is full of light black mist, giving people a cold breath.
He is so cold that he doesn't seem like a living person, so I asked this question.
"Shi."
The old voice answered.
I was stunned.
Shi is the chief of the Fire Tribe Alliance and the owner of the Taoist temple. How could he be an old man?
"You...are you an old man, or the Taoist master? Or is the Taoist master the old man?"
He asked this question and was a little confused himself. Shi, who was sitting opposite him, still had a calm and composed expression.
"Yes and no." Shi
said calmly, his eyes swept over I, without dwelling on this question, but spoke slowly.
"Many years ago, I met a man named Fuhu. He was from the Tiger Tribe that devoured his own totem, and the way he used power was completely different from what I knew."
He frowned. He hadn't figured out what Shi meant.
"You have studied in the dojo for many years. You should know what the dojo pursues for totem power, right?"
Shi's voice was very light, but it sounded very heavy.
When he spoke, he didn't deliberately raise his tone to increase his majesty like the eighth generation witch, but was very plain.
"The pursuit of control, the ultimate control of totem power."
He immediately answered.
He also knew that this path was the one Shi guided the warriors to walk out, and it was also this path that greatly increased the combat power of the Fire Tribe Alliance warriors and allowed the Mi Tribe to avoid chaos.
"Yes, the ultimate control."
Shi stretched out his hand. There was a layer of black mist on his hand, which was still clearly visible even in the middle of the night.
The thumb and index finger of the outstretched hand were placed together, and the two fingers slowly separated in front of the eyes of the eyes, and a weak and almost invisible thread composed of totem power was slowly pulled out.
"It's really not easy to do this."
Shi said, picking up a wooden stick from the ground. He threw the wooden stick towards the thin thread. The moment the wooden stick touched the thin thread, it was cut apart and fell to the ground in two halves.
There was surprise in the eyes of the eyes of the eyes. Before this, he had never thought that a person could control the power of the totem so finely.
Shi did not speak, but picked up another stick and threw it at the thread. Just when he thought the stick was about to break, the thread bent as the stick fell, and then bounced the stick out.
"Ah."
He could not help but exclaimed. This was almost an extreme between sharpness and toughness.
Shi smiled faintly, as if he enjoyed the exclamation of others.
"When I didn't have the power of the totem, I thought about what I would do if I had the power of the totem. In the past 30 years, everything I thought about when I was young and what I didn't think about have all come true."
His voice was old but with obvious satisfaction, and his face was full of admiration.
For example, there are too few records about the earliest big leader of the Fire Tribe. The leaders after him have more or less been criticized.
The second generation leader was too reckless, the third generation leader was too incompetent, the fourth generation leader was too cruel, the fifth generation leader was too rigid, the sixth generation leader lost his integrity in his later years, and only the seventh generation leader is still alive.
He is strong but not tough, brave but not reckless, kind but not weak, born in a humble family but hardworking, and set the best example for all the young people in the Fire Tribe Alliance.
And now this person is standing in front of him, telling him about his life in detail, and he almost feels like he is still dreaming.
"Yi, do you know?"
Shi asked.
He wanted to nod, but found that his body was still a little numb, so he immediately opened his mouth to answer.
"Yes, the leader of the exiled Dragon Tribe."
"We snatched beef jerky from the Sixth Generation Shaman and ate it together."
He said with a smile, as if he was recalling his wonderful childhood, with a hint of smile in his hoarse voice.
He was yearning for the Sixth Generation Shaman, who was also an invincible one among the Shamans of the Fire Tribe.
In the dim light, he saw Shi smile for a while, and then his face slowly became serious.
When he spoke again, there was an elusive taste in his voice, and he felt a little sad, and even a little fear of the unknown.
"My life after obtaining the power of the totem, you kids generally know, starting from me, the power of the totem has been controlled and used, and its effect is far beyond the past, but is this really right?"
He was stunned and confused, and didn't understand what Shi meant.
"I should have lived longer, but neither my body nor my soul can sustain me. My life was borrowed by the Fire God from the Soul Tribe."
The Fire God borrowed it from the Soul Tribe... The more I listened, the more confused I became.
"Extreme control of the totem power will cause great harm to the body and soul. The end of the road is death."
Finally, Shi threw out such an answer, which shocked Ke's eyes.
"Let's talk about Fuhu. He was a warrior from the tribe who ate his own totem. They once walked my way. The loss of vitality made them change their way and developed something called totem body."
The amount of information was huge, Ke decided to write it all down first, and then slowly comprehend it.
"The advantage of totem body is that it does not affect life span, but the disadvantage is that you need to eat the totem. I have also thought about eating the totem."
When saying the last sentence, Shi's face was smiling brightly, while Ke's face turned pale with fear.
"But all my strength comes from the totem. I can still remember that when I didn't have the power of the totem, I couldn't even break a tree trunk as thick as my arm. Those were really hard times."
He let out a breath slowly. He was a little confused about why Shi told him all this.
"When I was young, I lamented why the totem always favored Yi and ignored people like me who worked hard to grow. Later, when I grew up, I understood the difficulties and saw that the Fire Tribe was getting better and better, but really, this world is really not fair."
"Except time and death, there is no such thing as fairness in all other things. When you grow up, you will understand."
"I understand."
He suddenly spoke, interrupting Shi's words.
"Some people are born to be witches and leaders, but I can't. I can only rely on my own strength to fight for it."
Shi Cuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "You have done very well. When I was your age, I was not as smart as you."
Kui blushed. He knew that the smart brain the leader was talking about was the smuggling business he was doing.
"When people get old, they become nagging. I was not so nagging when I was young. Listen to me and talk about business."
Shi stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of him, bringing a cool breeze to Kui's face.
"My death is not a big deal, but I can't let this crooked path continue and let those talented people die young, and I can't let the warriors of the Fire Tribe Alliance die young, so I built a dojo and began to study the totem body."
When Shi said this, he thought of the power that he saw emanating from Shi's body before.
"Although I can use the totem body, it depends on my strong control over the totem power. My totem body is only similar in form, not a real totem body."
He had some enlightenment in his heart and asked, "Is the form that the Taoist used before a totem body?"
"It's the totem spirit body that I researched."
The expression on Shi's face finally relaxed a little.
"My body has already formed an instinct for finely controlling the power of totems. It is impossible to make a breakthrough in this power, so I need someone to accept this power and try to grow it."
Looking at Shi who was staring at him, he swallowed his saliva, moved his relaxed neck and asked, "You chose me?"
"Yes." Shi nodded
calmly in response.
"Why me?" He
asked in confusion.
He slowly raised his neck, which had become more comfortable, and looked down at his body. He saw a layer of totem power attached to his body, which was the power of the Sun Totem.
"Coincidence, my state is special, I can't always be awake, and the brain of the other me is not mature, so this result occurs."
He thought of what Shi said about the God of Fire helping him to survive in the Soul Tribe, and guessed that this was related to this.
"Is this the totem body?"
He looked at the energy covering his body again.
"This is the totem spirit body. Because it has not eaten the totem and does not have the power of the totem fire, I call it the totem spirit body."
Shi pointed at his body and said.
He looked at his body again. His body was still a little numb. Except for his neck, he could not control other parts.
"Are there any adverse reactions?"
Shi asked.
"What is considered an adverse reaction? Does not feeling count?" He
asked back.
Shi was silent for a while, stood up, walked around him, and sat back in his original position.
"Actually, you are the first person to try it. I don't know what is considered an adverse reaction."
He felt a little dizzy. He didn't know how to respond to the words of someone who, in his opinion, had controlled the power of the totem to the extreme.
"I can't stay awake all the time. That would only shorten my lifespan. So if you have any discomfort during your growth, you can go to the Eighth Generation Wizard for help. If he can't solve it, he will take you to the God of Fire."
The black mist on Shi's body began to tremble, and the cold breath became stronger.
"I'm going to sleep. Finally, I'll give you a suggestion."
Shi's voice was a little hurried.
"Change the power of the Sun Totem to the Fire Totem. It will be good for you."
After saying this, the black mist on Shi's body began to shrink rapidly and entered his body in almost the blink of an eye.
