Chapter 545 Scheming

Before entering the Ice Age, the north was cold, the south was hot and humid, and only the center of the continent was the most comfortable with four distinct seasons.

The center of the continent not only has an advantage in climate, but also has the best terrain among the three.

After really entering the south, Diwu Xuan understood the hardships of the many tribes living here.

The mountains are undulating and the roads are rugged. If it were in the past, there would be no shortage of wild winds and miasma. Now it is better because of the suppression of the Ice Age, but this has also greatly reduced the strength of the Miao tribe.

Entering the area where the Miao tribe is stationed, skinny tribesmen can be seen everywhere. Most of them look with dull eyes at Ba Xia crossing the hills and heading towards the center of their own tribe.

From their eyes, Diwu Xuan can see despair and numbness.

"Is the situation of the Miao tribe already so difficult?"

He couldn't help but ask himself in confusion.

If it was the early ice age, the Miao tribe would not have thought there was anything wrong with the situation. After all, the grass and trees withered, the wild animals disappeared, and it was normal to lack food and clothing.

Coupled with the sudden loss of a warm environment, it was normal for the Miao people to feel uncomfortable.

But as the green meteorite fell to the ground, everything revived. Even though the weather was cold, there was no shortage of green plants and wild animals in the 100,000 mountains in the south. The Miao tribe was still in such a state of decline. There was a problem.

Diwu Xuan couldn't figure out what the problem was, but the Miao Totem must have been hiding something. She must not have explained all the situations to him.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The knock on the wooden door broke Diwu Xuan's contemplation.

"God of Fire, you're looking for me."

The door opened, and the Sun Totem walked in, followed by the Star Totem.

Diwu Xuan suppressed his doubts, waved to the two totems, and asked them to sit in front of him.

"The leader of the human tribe wants to ask Shao some questions about the future of the human tribe. Let Shao help them plan this matter."

Diwu Xuan instructed the Sun Totem.

The Sun Totem nodded, and then asked, "Does the God of Fire want to develop the west and expand the territory?"

Diwu Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not the right time yet. Recklessly expanding the territory may not be beneficial to my becoming a god. Now the goal of the tribe is to help me become a god, and other things will be put aside for now."

Recklessly developing the west will inevitably cause a deviation in the alliance's policy, and Diwu Xuan doesn't want Shao to be distracted by this.

Sun Totem said he understood, and that way he would be more accurate when conveying information to Shao.

After explaining to Sun Totem, Diwu Xuan looked at Star Totem: "Make a prophecy about... my trip to the south."

Star Totem was puzzled, but before he could ask, Sun Totem asked first: "Hasn't the God of Fire entered the Miao tribe? Is there any problem?"

Diwu Xuan did not hide anything and directly described the state of the Miao tribe he saw.

"There must be a secret, but I don't know what it is. I need Star Totem to help me predict whether it is good or bad, so that I can be prepared."

Diwu Xuan rubbed the cup with his hands and said softly.

"Why not capture the Miao Totem and torture him..."

"No need."

Diwu Xuan stopped him and said, "The current situation is unclear. If we can get the six Ming Totems from the Miao tribe through fighting, it is equivalent to directly controlling one-third of the power of the southern continent, which will be beneficial for our future southward movement." Diwu

Xuan naturally had a plan to help the Miao Totem. The northern ice bear has become a god, so it will be more difficult to devour it.

In this case, it is necessary to devour the south. After all, the Dragon Tribe has set an example, and Diwu Xuan does not want to follow their old path.

"The totem battle is very dangerous, right? Are you sure about the fire god?"

Sun Totem asked worriedly.

"I don't have it."

Diwu Xuan chuckled and said, "Shi has it."

If there was no Shi to shape the golden body, Diwu Xuan would definitely leave the first thing after the battle. He had no intention of following a group of totems to kill each other.

But with Shi in the God's Court, fighting would be too easy for him.

If you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. There is no reason not to eat the meat that is in your mouth.

Sun Totem suddenly realized and immediately expressed his support for Diwu Xuan's decision.

"Since Shi is in power, why does the God of Fire still need the Star Tribe to make predictions?"

Sun Totem asked in confusion.

You must know that every time the Star Totem predicts, it is a great harm to the totem itself. He has not made many predictions in these years, and it is also because of this reason.

"I think this is very strange. Miao Totem is not in the right state. She seems to be hiding something."

Diwu Xuan said.

"Isn't it the predicament of the Miao tribe?"

asked Ritu Totem.

"It is stupid to hide the predicament, because as long as I go to the Miao tribe, everything will be clear. But she is still hiding it in this situation. There are three possibilities."

Diwu Xuan raised the teacup and took a sip, then stared at the teacup with tea slowly rising from the bottom of the cup and said.

"Instinct, stupidity and scheming. Instinct aside, it is impossible for a stupid Totem to still sit firmly in the position of the overlord of Southern Xinjiang under various unfavorable circumstances. In this way, the possibility of scheming becomes the greatest."

"What scheming can she have?"

asked Xingchen Totem.

Diwu Xuan glanced at him and knew why he asked the question.

The more you know the underlying purpose of the prediction, the more accurate the prediction will become.

"She is using concealment and embarrassment to create an illusion, such as making me think that she is acting instinctively or stupidly, in order to cover up a bigger lie. Perhaps underneath this illusion is a bigger conspiracy."

After saying this, Diwu Xuan raised his teacup again and took a sip.

The courtyard became silent for a moment, and none of the three totems spoke.

"Do you want me to monitor her?"

Sun Totem suddenly said.

Diwu Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't make a fuss. This is also the reason why I asked the Star Totem to predict."

The Star Totem nodded to show that he understood. His brows were wrinkled and there was a little worry in his eyes.

"I have a bad feeling. Since you said this, I think your guess is right, God of Fire." The

words of the Star Totem made Diwu Xuan and Sun Totem feel a little heavier.

"Otherwise, God of Fire will let Ba Xia turn around and come back now."

Sun Totem said.

Diwu Xuan shook his head and was about to speak when he suddenly looked outside and said, "That's it. You guys do what I tell you to do. Miao Totem is here."

Diwu Xuan said and waved his right hand. The door of the courtyard opened automatically. Miao Totem, who wanted to knock on the door, stood in front of the door in surprise.

"I'll notify Shao."

Sun Totem immediately stood up and said to Diwu Xuan. He got up and walked out of the courtyard and nodded to Miao Totem at the door.

Star Totem followed him and left.

"What's the matter?"

Diwu Xuan waved his hand again. The two teacups in front of him disappeared, and a new teacup reappeared and was filled with tea.

"The Miao tribe is in front of us. The six Ming Totems want to greet you. I want to ask what you think."

Miao Totem said softly.

Diwu Xuan nodded and said, "If you think it's necessary, then meet him."

His voice was the same as before, and his attitude towards Miao Totem had not changed, still revealing a sense of intimacy.

As the only totem spirit among all the totems he had seen that used human souls as totems, this kind of intimacy was something that Diwu Xuan did not have towards other totems.

I hope there will be no unnecessary misunderstandings between us... Diwu Xuan thought in his heart, smiling at Miao Totem.

As the actual helmsman of the Fire Tribe Alliance, Diwu Xuan has his own responsibilities to bear. He is no longer the one who had just traveled through time and was suffocated in the totem stone and screamed.

Time will always wash away many precious things, including passion and loyalty and innocence.

When we grow up, the pros and cons will always come to the forefront. Likes and dislikes, good and evil, are just self-consolation after failure.

"Then I'll let them come to greet you, the supreme fire god of the Fire Tribe Alliance."

Miao Totem said with a smile.

Diwu Xuan smiled and nodded: "As you wish."

The door closed, and the smile on Diwu Xuan's face faded at a visible speed.

"Pah... pah... pah..."

The cup slapped on the table, and Diwu Xuan looked at the thick fog in the sky with empty eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Three days later, Ba Xia finally came to the core area of ​​the Miao tribe.

This is a basin with undulating mountains in front and behind, and steep cliffs on the left and right. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As the core area of ​​the Miao tribe, the tribesmen here are finally no longer as pale and thin as those in the periphery.

But the Miao people as a whole are not the type with big physiques, so they still look a little thin to Diwu Xuan.

This is also in line with Diwu Xuan's cognition. In places with more mountains, people will not grow too tall, because mountain roads are extremely physically demanding, and tall bodies are not suitable for survival in such places.

The Miao people have tattoos and pendants on their bodies. They have ornaments on their ears and chests. They wear animal skins and leaves on their clothes, but no linen clothes. The tribe

is very large, but children playing casually can be seen everywhere, which proves that the Miao tribe does not pay attention to education, or in other words, except for the Fire Tribe Alliance, no tribe in this continent pays attention to education.

"They are already waiting for your arrival in front of the tribe."

Miao Totem appeared next to Diwu Xuan and said.

The "them" she mentioned naturally refers to the six Ming Totems.

Diwu Xuan nodded, still scanning the Miao Tuteng people, and suddenly asked: "Have you had a war recently?"

He had such a guess because the ratio of men to women in the Miao tribe was seriously unbalanced. As far as he could see, there were less than one-third of men in the welcoming team, and many of them were old people and children.

Miao Tuteng's eyes flashed with sadness: "Yes, several tribes were disobedient and attacked the Miao tribe, which caused us great losses."

"Which tribe?"

Diwu Xuan suddenly asked.

Miao Tuteng was stunned, and said in surprise: "The multi-legged tribe."

"Is it the tribe that worships centipedes?"

The name of the multi-legged tribe made Diwu Xuan make such a guess.

"Yes."

Miao Tuteng said.

"Where are their totems?"

Diwu Xuan asked.

Since the Miao tribe was not destroyed, it means that the Multi-legged Tribe was defeated. At this time, the defeated tribe will lose a lot, including the totem.

"...broken."

The Miao totem said in a panic.

The Fifth Xuan frowned, didn't say much, just nodded.
