Chapter 72 A Totem is Hidden

The height of the four broken pillars can no longer be determined, but the complex patterns on them prove that these are not ordinary stone pillars.

There is a broken stone slab in the middle of the stone pillar, with blurred words on it.

This is either the place where a totem is erected or the place where a totem fire is burned. This is the guess of the Fifth Xuan.

"Ang?"

The little turtle made a puzzled cry, and it obviously discovered something. It rubbed its claws on the stone slab again and again.

"What's wrong?" The Fifth Xuan asked. The

little turtle slapped the stone slab with its claws, and the bang bang bang sound echoed in the jungle, attracting the attention of wild beasts from afar, but neither the man nor the turtle cared.

"Ang..."

The little turtle roared, as if he was dissatisfied with the fact that the stone slab could actually block his claws.

"If it doesn't break, open it. Open it from the side. Is there anything underneath?"

Diwu Xuan asked again, looking at the ground curiously. Nothing could be seen except the broken stone slabs.

Most of these stone slabs were broken, and only one was slightly intact. There was a word in the middle of the slightly intact stone slab that was still clear. This word was the Y-shaped word.

"If it is a pictographic word, this word is a bit like... a rake. No... a rake is too complicated. It should not be made yet."

Diwu Xuan guessed the meaning of this word. After the rake was denied, he thought of animals.

"Animals with horns... sheep, cows, deer... are all possible. If animals are excluded... then I can't guess it."

"Bang..."

The little turtle lifted the stone slab while Diwu Xuan was thinking, revealing the land underneath.

"Puff puff puff..."

The two front paws kept digging in the ground, and the sharp claws broke through the soil without any pressure.

"Zila..."

A sharp sound was heard, which was the sound of claws scratching against a sharp object.

"What is it?"

Diwu Xuan asked, but his sight was blocked by the little turtle's ** and he could not see it.

"Ang...ang?"

The little turtle's voice was full of doubts, but the meaning was obvious, pointing at the totem.

"Totem? Get out of the way and let me see."

The little turtle stepped back a few steps, and a stone appeared in front of Diwu Xuan.

The exposed stone was half a person's height, and the stone was engraved with the image of the character "丫".

"It should be a totem. Who would bury a totem in the soil?"

Diwu Xuan was full of doubts, and then ordered the little turtle to dig out the stone to see what it looked like.

The little turtle seemed to be curious about the stone. After hearing Diwu Xuan's order, he stepped forward without hesitation. After a few rounds of digging, the whole stone was revealed.

The stone was one person tall, thick at the bottom and thin at the top. The surface was worn, but it looked intact overall.

Under the clear Y-shaped characters, there was a simple sketch.

"Cow? Cow tribe? Cow tribe totem?"

Diwu Xuan finally recognized the word through the simple sketch.

The cow was drawn very abstractly, but no matter how abstract it was, it was still a cow. Diwu Xuan would not make a mistake.

"Yeah?"

The little turtle asked Diwu Xuan if it was a familiar tribe.

"I haven't heard of it before, this is the first time... Wait, what are you doing?"

As Diwu Xuan asked in horror, the little turtle opened his mouth, revealing a row of clean white and sharp teeth, and began to chew on the totem stone of the Ox Tribe.

"Stone, you eat it too?"

Although he was not furious, Diwu Xuan still felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, he was also a totem. How could he feel good watching the little turtle eating a totem like this?

"Oh..."

The little turtle complained unsatisfiedly, and no longer cared what Diwu Xuan said, and started to chew seriously.

"Crack, crack..."

The stone fragments flew everywhere. Every time the little turtle chewed, Diwu Xuan felt that he was bitten. This feeling was too sour.

"Little turtle, can you digest this after eating it? Be careful of kidney stones."

"That's enough. I've already eaten one third of it. Leave it alive."

"This totem may still be alive. Find some primitive people to worship it, and maybe it will come back to life."

The Fifth Xuan was muttering, but the little turtle didn't care and just kept eating and drinking.

"Moo..."

A cow's cry suddenly came from the stone, which scared the Fifth Xuan, and the little turtle retreated in shock.

"Look, look, I said it might be alive, but you almost ate it."

The Fifth Xuan complained, but his eyes were always fixed on the totem stone of the Cow Tribe, trying to find out how it made the sound.

If this trick is learned, it may be able to communicate with the tribesmen in the future, which is of great significance.

"Bark again, why don't you talk anymore, Ba Xia, bite him."

Seeing that the totem stone of the Ox Tribe no longer made any sound, Diwu Xuan immediately gave the order, preparing to let the little turtle bite him again.

"Ah..."

The little turtle refused. He was scared by the stone.

"Why are you so scared? He is just a stone. What are you afraid of? Don't you have me on your back?"

"Ah..."

"Be obedient, come on, if you do as I say, I will tell you a story."

After the little turtle could understand Chinese, Diwu Xuan told him some stories. Later, seeing that the little turtle liked it, he used it as a reward and trained the little turtle to obey orders.

The result was not bad, at least some simple orders were still obeyed, but when the little turtle became willful, he didn't have many ways to deal with it.

"Yeah."

After thinking for a while, the little turtle agreed, slowly stepped forward, and started to gnaw again.

This time, he forgot the previous fear, his teeth opened and closed, and kept swallowing.

"Slow down, don't bite it all off, see if he can still speak."

The little turtle sobered up a little, and his movements became cautious, always on guard against the totem of the cattle tribe opening his mouth to scare people.

When the stone was gnawed to the height of an ordinary person's knee, Diwu Xuan finally called a halt.

"Is it just a coincidence? Or can he only make a sound once?"

Diwu Xuan thought for a while and felt that he couldn't let the little turtle continue to gnaw on it. It would be better to keep this antique. It might be useful in the future.

"Don't eat it. Bury it. When we get to the Fire Tribe in the future, ask someone to come back and get it. Bury it in..."

Diwu Xuan looked around and felt that it was too dangerous to bury it here. It might be dug out by someone.

"Bury it in the water. This way, the possibility of being discovered will be much smaller... I'll tell you a story after you bury it."

"Yeah..."

The little turtle muttered dissatisfiedly, drooling at the totem stone of the Ox Tribe, and finally turned around and walked to the river with it in his mouth, diving into the river with the stone.

"Bury it deeper, don't let the stream wash it away. It's a pity that there is no totem fire, otherwise I could try to communicate with him."

Diwu Xuan was commanding and sighing.

In addition to absorbing the totem of the Grass Tribe, he has never absorbed any other totems. The sea blue power in the power was given to him by the big turtle in the past.

"I still have to find the Fire Tribe as soon as possible. Only when I get to the Fire Tribe can I better exert my power."

Thinking like this, he sat on the little turtle and set off again, and began to fulfill his promise, telling the little turtle a story about "Turtle and Rabbit Race".

The story is a good story, but the little turtle seems a little unhappy.
