Chapter 20: Intensify Efforts
The Donghe tribe has no temple on the boat island. They worship a blue stone statue called [Qi]. They rarely make wishes to the gods, which is more like the sacrificial tradition left by the Donghai clan. Most of the time, the Donghe tribe is sailing, fishing and catching slaves.
Lu Yao prepared to make a test.
He clicked on [Miracle], spent 30 faith, and chose [Hurricane].
The hurricane quickly condensed on the water surface, creating a huge whirlpool in the water, and rushed towards the Ship Island of the Donghe tribe with great momentum.
Faced with the hurricane, the Donghe tribe was not panicked at all; they were even talking and laughing.
"Look, it's a storm."
"The storm will bring up a lot of fish, and maybe crabs, too. That's great."
"Praise God and send us food."
"The sky will be beautiful after the storm."
"Wow, that's a big storm."
Just as Lu Yao was wondering, the hurricane suddenly dissipated when it approached the island, and turned into a breeze blowing around. The dissipated hurricane brought them some fish, which landed on the deck of the island.
The little people of the Donghe tribe picked up harpoons and started fishing everywhere.

[Because of the blessing of the god's totem, your miracle cannot take effect. 】
Lu Yao noticed that there were some slight cracks on the surface of the totem statue on the Ship Island.
The totem seems to be not only a symbol of faith, but also a defensive item that can block even natural disasters such as miracles.
Lu Yao became excited.
I want to see how many times you can block it.
【lightning】
Give me electricity! A silver lightning bolt descended from the sky again, hitting the totem. Just like the previous hurricane, the lightning bolt disappeared immediately after landing, posing no threat to the ship island at all.
"It's a weird weather today."
"Is it going to rain? Storm and lightning, it's going to rain soon."
"Last summer was very dry, but this spring it looks like there will be a lot of rain."
"With more rain, the rivers will become wider, which is a good thing."
The little people of the Donghe tribe were still chatting.
Lu Yao clicked on Miracle, and lightning struck again.
[Lightning]! [Lightning]! [Lightning]! Three consecutive bolts of lightning struck the island, and cracks appeared on the totem.
This time even the people of the Donghe tribe noticed that something was wrong.
"Wow, what the hell is going on?"
"Are these lightning bolts cracks in the sky?"
"We have to tell Grandma that something is wrong on the water today."
"Fortunately, there is a totem for praying to the gods, otherwise this would be a disaster."
Lu Yao further increased his efforts.
【Lightning】×5!
There were lightning and thunder in the sky, and one lightning bolt after another fell and bombarded the top of Chuandao. The first four lightning bolts dissipated, and the fifth lightning bolt finally fell heavily on Chuandao, killing two Donghe tribe villains who had no time to escape, and also caused a fire on Chuandao.
The blue totem, which had been constantly cracking and damaged, was finally completely destroyed and turned into ashes.
The Donghe tribe was in chaos at this time.
While the tribe members were running around putting out the fire, some of the slaves took the opportunity to jump into canoes and escape, so the Donghe tribe had to send people to hunt down the slaves.
But the biggest shock to them was the destruction of their totem.
"The prayer totem is broken! It's over!"
"We have lost our shelter and can no longer fight against the storm and the whirlpool!"
"Pray that God has forsaken us!"
"Oh my God! Oh my God!"
“Why is this happening!”
Instead, five men from the Garlic Tribe spoke one by one at this time.
"Lightning! Lightning has returned! God Lightning has returned!"
"It's the great God Yao. You attacked the Garlic Tribe and angered God Yao!"
"God Yao is angry!"
"You are in trouble!"
However, no one from the Donghe tribe paid any attention to them.
…
Lu Yao flexed his fingers.
As he guessed, the totem for praying to the gods was a consumable item, and it should be a gift from the gods. The totem seemed ordinary, but it collapsed under the miracle bombardment of 210 points of faith value, and it was very strong.
The Donghe tribe has only a hundred people, but they can live on the Donghe River for a long time. They attack other tribes in canoes, capture slaves, and are arrogant.
They rely on sea monsters for attack and on totems for defense.
Now that Lu Yao had broken an arm of the Donghe tribe, they immediately became panicked.
Lu Yao observed again and found that the Donghe tribe was indeed unable to repair the totem. Seeing this, the tribal leader [Grandmother] issued a series of orders.
"You will set out immediately, bring all the sea monsters shed this year, return to the clan temple to offer sacrifices, and pray for new totem gifts."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Block the river to prevent other tribes from knowing that the totem has been destroyed until a new totem returns."
"Feed all the female slaves to the sea monsters so they can shed their skins sooner."
…
Lu Yao looked at it for a while and got a general idea of the situation.
The Donghe tribe's prayer totem originated from the Donghai clan's temple. As a branch of the clan, the Donghe tribe has always maintained contact with the Donghai clan. They raise sea monsters, firstly to reserve military strength, and secondly to need the sea monsters to shed their skins as sacrifices to the gods.
in other words.
Without the sea monster skin, the Donghe tribe could not get the totem. Without the totem, the Donghe tribe would be vulnerable.
That's easy.
A smile appeared on Lu Yao's face.
The Donghe tribe quickly set out to ask for help from the clan. Five canoes were loaded with sacrificial sea monster skins and escorted by three sea monsters. They left the Ship Island and headed east.
When the ships were far away from the tribe's water settlement, Lu Yao activated [Lightning] and directly covered all five ships.
The sudden lightning struck and set the canoe on fire.
The surviving pixel people had to jump off the boat to escape. They struggled desperately on the water, with terrified expressions on their heads. The sea monsters were helpless and could only carry the pixel people away from the burning ship.
The offerings on the canoe were burned.
With the help of the sea monster, the surviving people escaped back to Ship Island with difficulty.
Upon hearing that the sacrificial offerings were also burned, the entire Donghe tribe fell into complete panic.
"All the sea monster skins have been burned. We can't go back."
"Lightning, lightning everywhere, lightning won't let us leave."
"We have angered the gods here. We must offer sacrifices, otherwise the tribe will be struck by lightning again."
"The tribe is finished, the tribe is finished."
"Let's run away, let's run away."
The Donghe tribe, which was once so arrogant, faced a natural disaster that could not be resisted by human power, and many of its members showed signs of surrender and desertion.
[Grandmother] is the leader of the tribe after all, and she showed the calmness and decisiveness of a leader at this time.
"Some slaves said that it was the God Yao from the Garlic Tribe who sent down the punishment."
"Let's go to the Garlic Tribe and make peace with them."
…
The boats of the Donghe tribe slowly docked at the shore.
[Grandmother] took two female captains and met with the prophet and the shaman.
The two sides chatted privately for a while.
An exclamation mark lit up above the prophet's head: "The Donghe tribe has angered the God Yao. If they want to be forgiven, they must fear the gods and offer their faith."
"You need to build a temple to worship God Yao."
"God Yao is a benevolent god who loves peace and life. He is punishing the Donghe tribe because of your rudeness and offense."
After a moment, a prompt appeared on the screen.
[The Donghe tribe offers you a sacrifice.]
