Chapter 558: Coming from the West

When the soul of the Elf Sage was completely extinguished, a black-green force emerged from it.

It was much smaller than the power left by the Miao Totem after their death, but the Bamboo Totem could still tell at a glance that it was the power of the multi-legged totem.

Diwu Xuan and the others speculated that the Elf Sage must have been protected by the power of the multi-legged totem and escaped the residual consciousness of the saint.

This conjecture really scared them, because the number of Ming Totem Stones sent over was not one, but nine.

If they had not arrived earlier, but a little later, they might have had to face nine Elf Sages.

The thought of such a result made the Totems feel terrified.

Fortunately, things did not go so badly. After collecting the sentinel tree, Ba Xia began to return the same way.

They returned to the Miao tribe. Diwu Xuan did not completely slaughter all the Miao tribe members as he said. He could not be so cruel.

Moreover, the totem stone and power of the Miao totem were still there. It was easy to cultivate another Miao totem, which was also a force.

However, he was not going to hand over the rights of Nanjiang to the Miao totem spirit that had not yet been born. Instead, he chose to hand it over to the bamboo totem. During the contact process, Diwu Xuan felt that this was a trustworthy totem.

After making some arrangements for Nanjiang, Diwu Xuan asked Ba Xia to return north, which was regarded as the end of the trip to Nanjiang.

…………

Everyone who saw the Xi'an City Wall for the first time was shocked by how tall and thick it was.

Tai stood under the wall, and he could feel how small he was. The contrast was so real.

"This is the masterpiece of Moon Totem."

General Snake introduced Tai, "Several decades ago, Moon Totem used tens of thousands of people to build this city. It's very solid."

Tai nodded and punched the wall twice with his fist, making a muffled "boom" sound.

General Snake swallowed his saliva. The man's strength was beyond his imagination.

"It's really very solid."

Tai spoke, and the hoarse voice in General Snake's ears gave him the illusion that sand and wind had entered his ears.

"I'm sorry I got hurt here."

Tai pointed to his throat and said.

"I know, you've done a great job in the west, and everyone respects you."

General Snake said.

This is not a lie. In fact, the Fire Tribe Alliance is very clear about what's going on in the west, especially Xi'an City. They know the Human Tribe best.

Because most of the people who ran out of the Human Tribe were heading for Xi'an City, so the news from there would be passed on continuously.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see what Xi'an City looks like."

He said with a smile, and walked towards the city gate under the leadership of General Snake.

When they arrived in front of the city gate, Tai did not rush in, but stopped: "Let me take off my weapon, wait a minute."

"No need for that."

General Snake said.

Tai shook his head. He insisted on doing so, because in his opinion, this was his respect for the Fire Tribe Alliance.

Tai pulled out the stone knife from his waist, and then took out another from the fur coat behind his back, then a short knife from each arm, then the inner and outer thighs, and finally the ankles.

The snake general was stunned to see this scene. This man had too many weapons hidden. Was it necessary?

However, this was not the end. When Tai opened the fur coat, he saw a row of neat, sharp stone sticks hanging from his waist.

"That's all."

He said regretfully, "Originally, there were two tooth knives, but unfortunately they were broken in the battle."

The snake general tried his best to give a natural smile and walked into Xi'an to greet him.

The snake witch was already waiting by the altar. He was the chief officer here, so he naturally met the leader of the human tribe.

Although Tai was only the leader and not the witch, he actually had many roles and he was also doing the work of the witch.

Ganymede had been looking for something in the Fire Tribe these years and had never returned to the tribe.

"The witch is waiting for you in Fire City. We have prepared a sled for you. It will be faster this way."

The snake witch didn't have much to communicate with him, and people in this era wouldn't have too many hypocritical courtesies, so he spoke directly.

"Please allow me to visit the statue of Shi. He has always been someone I respect."

Tai did not choose to leave directly, but made his request to the snake witch.

"Okay, let the snake general accompany you."

The snake witch said.

The snake general took Tai to the city wall. He stood in front of Shi for a long time. No one knew what Tai was thinking, but in the end he bowed before leaving.

After leaving the city wall, Tai did not see the snake wizard again, but chose to leave directly, got on the sled prepared by the snake wizard for him, and headed straight for the Fire City.

In fact, Tai wanted to stay in Xi'an City for a while longer. He wanted to know more about the Fire Tribe, but unfortunately the snake wizard did not want him to stay for long, which was vividly reflected in their communication.

They always have to be on guard against Tai. After all, according to the news from the west, Tai is a very powerful and ambitious person.

Maybe Tai is not like this in the legend, but that doesn't matter. As the westernmost city of the Fire Tribe Alliance, he needs to act carefully. No one can find fault with such behavior, not even Tai.

Although he did not stay in Xi'an City for a long time, he saw many small villages and the West Town under construction on the way.

"This is Wu's new policy. He wants to use these towns and villages to connect Huodu with several large cities."

General Mi, who was in charge of escorting Tai, said, "Once they are all built, the journey will not be so boring."

Tai looked at the rising West Town with envy and said, "The Fire Tribe Alliance is such a great place."

In fact, West Town is not a very big city, and because it is still under construction, there are not many residents.

But even with such a semi-finished product, Tai still lingered for a few days before setting off again, and praised the Fire Tribe Alliance from time to time along the way.

"Your..."

Tai suddenly forgot how to say that sentence, but fortunately General Mi immediately helped him to take over the conversation.

"Planning."

"Yes, planning."

Tai nodded affirmatively and said, "Your planning is very good. You think about everything in advance and then do it. This is something that our tribe should learn."

General Mi smiled and didn't say much.

This kind of thing is very difficult to learn. Just look at how many literate people there are in the West Town under construction. This is not something that can be done by just one or two people.

Even the eighth generation of wizards have not achieved this level.

This is an obvious change since Shao came to power. All decrees come from the Wizard Academy.

These decrees and blueprints have been planned, overturned, re-planned, and overturned countless times before leaving the Wizard Academy.

The number of times many things have been overturned over and over again is a headache even for these generals.

There is a rumor that the animal skin scrolls for planning the location of villages and towns and traffic roads alone can fill up a room in the Wizard Academy.

This matter was spread because someone proposed a different idea about the location of the town at a meeting of the Alliance Council.

After the witch expressed his idea, Shao directly asked someone to bring a beast skin scroll, which had the same idea as his, but was overturned.

He proposed a different idea, so Shao asked someone to bring out another beast skin scroll, which was again proved to be overturned.

The witch still refused to give up, and proposed his idea again, which was again overturned by Shao's beast skin scroll.

This witch was the Wolf Witch. It is said that because of this incident, the greedy wolf gave the Wolf Witch a lesson, but General Mi only heard about it. After all, he often lived in Xi'an City and didn't know much about the affairs of the Fire City.

But no matter whether these things are true or false, at least Shao's style of doing things is becoming clearer and clearer, that is, everything will be planned.

Everything must have been planned before leaving the Witch Academy, so try not to raise objections, otherwise it is easy to be slapped in the face.

"How long will it take to get to the Fire City?"

Tai couldn't help asking.

"About a month."

General Mi thought for a moment and said.

Tai nodded and looked towards the east impatiently.

General Mi's estimate of one month was correct, but he did not consider Tai's urgency and his mobility.

Tai reduced the one-month journey to sixteen days. If the war horses pulling the sleds were not overwhelmed, they could have gone even faster.

"Welcome, Tai."

In front of Huodu, it was Ke who greeted Tai.

Ke had left his youth behind, and his many years of military career gave him a soldier's temperament.

"Thank you, Marshal Li."

Tai couldn't wait to look into the Fire City: "I hope to see Wu as soon as possible."

Li nodded: "Wu is waiting for you in the Council Hall, please follow me."

Under Li's leadership, Tai entered the Fire City. This place was naturally more prosperous than Xi'an City. Such a city also made him a little overwhelmed, but he still restrained his desire to look around and wanted to see Shao as soon as possible.

When he arrived in front of the Council Hall, Shao was already standing there waiting for him.

"Welcome to you, Tai."

Shao smiled and waved to him.

This is what Wu should be... At just one glance, Tai was conquered by Wu's elegant temperament.

In his opinion, Ganymede not only did not look like Wu, but also did not look like a member of the tribe.

"Thank you, I have some questions to ask you."

Tai said impatiently.

"Yes, I know, but before that, please enjoy the food first. This is the way of hospitality of the Fire Tribe Alliance."

Shao said, and took Tai's hand and led him into the hall.

The long table in the hall was already filled with the delicacies of the Fire Tribe Alliance. There were many uncommon foods, such as yellow millet porridge with honey, and freshly roasted meat.

"Thank you, Fire Tribe Shaman, but I would like to ask you questions before eating."

Tai wanted to refuse, but Shao did not allow it.

"I understand what you mean, but if we do that, we may not be able to eat for several days."

Shao said with a smile. In fact, he had already made a solution to the problem of the human tribe, but like all his previous solutions, it was very complicated, so it would be better to eat first.

Tai saw that he could not persuade Shao, so he had to walk to the table and start enjoying the food.

"What is this for?"

Tai asked, chewing a piece of freshly roasted meat while picking up two equal wooden roots on the table.

"It's chopsticks. Sometimes we use them to pick up meat, but sometimes we don't."

Shao raised the roasted meat in his hand and wiped the oil off his mouth.

Two updates tomorrow, the update time is 18:30 and 22:00 respectively
