Chapter 544 Difficulties
The wind and snow in the south are not as strong as those in the north, but even so, it is abnormally cold here.
It is unknown how long the entire ice age will last, and it is also unknown how long days like this will last.
"How many Ming Totems are there over there?"
Diwu Xuan sat in his own courtyard, but his eyes could see through the thick mist and look at the Miao tribesmen who were guarding Ba Xia.
They were thin and yellow-skinned, and they didn't look like they were having a good time.
"I know of fifteen for sure, and six came this time."
Miao Totem said softly.
Diwu Xuan nodded, thinking in his heart what the number meant.
Fifteen Ming Totems, only six came, less than half. The Miao Totem's ruling power over the southern continent is too low.
"If it were your heyday, how many would come?"
Diwu Xuan asked.
Miao Tuteng was stunned, obviously not expecting him to ask this, but she still said without hesitation: "All will come."
"The gap is a bit big, what's the reason?"
Diwu Xuan turned his head and looked at Miao Tuteng and asked.
Now that they are in the territory of the Miao tribe, Miao Tuteng should not be hesitant like before. Since he is asked for help, he must explain.
"Because of my power."
Miao Tuteng lowered his head and said with a bitter face: "My power can generate and control miasma, but since the weather changed..."
She didn't say anything else, but Diwu Xuan already understood the reason.
The ice age came, and the south, which was full of wild winds and miasma, was invaded by the cold. The mist and rain disappeared, the grass and trees withered, and the power of Miao Tuteng dropped sharply.
She was not like Diwu Xuan who imprisoned all the Ming Totems under her. When their own strength declined, these Totems would inevitably have their own plans.
No wonder Miao Totem was able to lead these people to fight against the Dragon Tribe. When marching in the south, with miasma everywhere, it was indeed difficult for the Dragon Tribe to defeat the Miao Tribe.
"Why are these six tribes willing to follow you?"
Diwu Xuan asked.
If Diwu Xuan was the totem under Miao Totem, when Miao Totem's strength weakened, they would definitely resist and break away, and there would be no reason to stay.
"Become a god."
Miao Totem said, "I told them that I found a way to become a god, so they are willing to continue to follow me."
Under the gaze of Diwu Xuan, Miao Totem slowly lowered his head.
Diwu Xuan didn't say anything, but his eyes looking at Miao Totem were full of different colors.
Miao Totem has always appeared to be a child who would tell lies, but now it seems that he underestimated her.
But think about it, who can become the overlord of a region without some means and schemes.
The Ice Bear Totem has a loyal face, and he also communicates with Diwu Xuan as an honest elder, but he has always been planning to become a god, and finally realized it.
He has never seen the previous generation of Dragon Totem, but from the attitude of Ice Bear Totem towards him, it can be seen that this is not an easy character to deal with.
And being able to exist side by side with these two, naturally, she can't be the appearance she shows at this time.
Her disguise should be caused by the fact that the power of heaven and earth suppresses her too much... Diwu Xuan thought.
When the Ice Age came, the Ice Bear Tribe in the north benefited the most. The Ice Bear Totem also seized this opportunity and became a god in one fell swoop.
In this continent, in addition to the Ice Bear Totem, the Dragon Tribe and the Miao Tribe were hit in different ways.
The Dragon Tribe’s many spiritual tribes were scattered because of the food crisis. The Miao Tribe was even worse. Its own power was directly suppressed, and its strength was greatly damaged. Even the people below were suppressed.
In this situation, if she didn’t make a change, she would be stupid.
"You can hide it for a while, but you can’t hide it for a lifetime. What do you want to do next?"
Diwu Xuan asked, fiddling with the teacup in front of him.
Miao Tuteng was silent for a while, then said, "If I bring these six Ming Tuteng into the God Court, my position in the south will be stable. If that doesn't work, let them become gods according to your method."
Diwu Xuan frowned, but he didn't want to do anything for others.
Miao Tuteng saw him frowning, and immediately said, "If they become gods according to your method, they will naturally be your subordinates. I don't ask for anything else, as long as I can protect myself in the south."
Diwu Xuan's frowned brows slowly stretched out, and he looked at Miao Tuteng and asked, "Then how do you plan to become a god?"
"I want to wait until the ice age is over, and see if I can think of a way to become a god by my own ability."
Miao Tuteng said.
Diwu Xuan nodded, and he admired her persistence.
"Okay, but if these Ming Totems that I have taken in become gods before you, I will accept their territories and transform them."
Diwu Xuan said bluntly: "You have also seen the state of the Fire Tribe Alliance. I will not allow a pure tribal system to exist under me."
"Understood."
Miao Totem nodded vigorously.
She stared at the teacup in front of her, her eyes full of persistence.
"Then let's do this. You go out first. When we get to the Miao Tribe, I will find you." After
Diwu Xuan finished speaking, he found that Miao Totem was a little hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?"
"They... won't easily enter the totem, the six Ming Totems."
Miao Totem became sticky again.
"Tell me whatever problems you have, otherwise I will turn around and leave, which will be more troublesome for you."
Diwu Xuan said in a deep voice.
"In the south, if you want one tribe to submit to another, it doesn't necessarily require a war between tribes. Sometimes, all you need is a fight between totems."
Miao Tuteng said.
"What is a fight between totems?"
Diwu Xuan asked with a frown.
This didn't sound like a good thing, and Diwu Xuan had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It's two totem spirits fighting in a totem stone. The winner leads the loser's tribe, and the loser and his tribe are enslaved."
Miao Tuteng said.
Diwu Xuan's frown deepened, and he asked, "Can you beat six of them now?"
Miao Tuteng shook her head, indicating that she couldn't.
As the weather was freezing, the effect of her miasma became much smaller, and she had no chance of winning if she participated in the totem fight.
"Could they challenge me?"
Diwu Xuan asked again.
Seeing Miao Totem nod, Diwu Xuan frowned unhappily.
He himself had no combat experience at all. If he were to fight, he might not even be able to beat the knife totem, let alone these totems that often fight.
This Miao Totem has too many secrets.
"If I win the fight, they will be led by me, not you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Diwu Xuan asked.
"Understood, I will try my best not to let them fight, and see if I can... convince them by becoming a god."
Miao Totem said.
Diwu Xuan nodded, waved his hand to let Miao Totem walk out of the courtyard, drank the tasteless tea alone for a while, and then transferred his consciousness to the human totem.
Today is the day of the Great Ceremony of the Human Tribe. Diwu Xuan came back to help Qinglian and the "True Self" absorb power, and by the way, to eliminate the newly born consciousness in the "True Self".
Because of the matter of Miao Totem, he came a little late. When he arrived, the Great Ceremony had ended. He eliminated the newly born consciousness in the "True Self" and prepared to leave.
"I am going to go to the Fire Tribe Alliance and ask for help from the Ninth Generation Shaman."
The words outside the totem attracted Diwu Xuan's attention. He released his consciousness and "looked" outside.
In front of the scroll were Tai and several of his confidants. They were sitting around, and it was Tai who had just spoken.
"Chief, it's too dangerous for you to leave at this time."
The person on Tai's right advised.
"I know, but we can't wait any longer."
Tai frowned, stretched out his hand to grab a handful of snow from the snow beside him, and squeezed it into a ball in his hand: "Enough people have been killed. It won't work if we kill more. Look at the recent changes of the Fire Tribe Alliance. They have been very successful. Maybe they have a way."
A man on Tai's left asked doubtfully: "Even if the Fire Tribe Alliance wizard has a way, will he tell the leader?"
Tai moved the snowball in his hand a few times, looked up at the bird circling in the sky, threw the snowball out, and directly knocked the bird down from the sky.
"Yes."
Tai said, "In the past, people often asked Shao for advice on policies, and he would always answer their questions. Now that Wu has gone to work for the God of Fire, he should not be stingy if we ask him some questions."
Some people nodded, agreeing with Tai's idea, while others shook their heads, expressing their disbelief, but more people had frowns on their brows.
"It's different."
The person on Tai's right spoke again: "The Fire Tribe Alliance is because there is a Fire God who suppresses all the totems. We are different. We don't even have totem fire. We can only rely on totem fire from other tribes..."
"We have the power."
Tai interrupted him, clenched his fists and said: "I don't allow you to say such discouraging words. And you, none of you are allowed to say such discouraging words. If I hear anyone say it again, I will kill him."
When Tai spoke, he was full of murderous aura, and everyone immediately nodded to show that they understood.
"I know the tribe is in a difficult situation, and I also know that the difficulties are far greater than we thought. After more than ten years, we are still shocking the tribe members by killing people. This is my incompetence."
After Tai finished speaking, someone immediately called the leader and wanted to express his opposition, but Tai waved his hand to stop the person from speaking.
"But we must persist. You all know what the witch's attitude is. He doesn't care about the lives of these people, but once they disperse, the witch will let the beast army devour them. They don't know what kind of danger they are in."
Tai stared into everyone's eyes and looked at everyone with strength.
"You are willing to follow me because you know what I am doing. This is destined to be a difficult road. We must go on and go to the end."
"Yes."
They nodded vigorously in response.
Tai's will has always been firm, and his decisions are not easy to be contradicted.
"After I leave, someone will definitely come out to cause trouble. For such people and such things, we must kill them decisively. It is better to kill more than less. I will definitely find a way until I return from the Fire Tribe Alliance."
Tai's eyes once again scanned the area and said firmly.
"Don't worry, Chief. Even if it is my tribe that is causing trouble this time, I will kill them."
The person on the right said first.
Tai nodded and patted his shoulder vigorously.
