Chapter 471: The Beast World's Charmer (36)
The White Snake Tribe is peaceful.
Qiao Xi's departure did not attract anyone's attention, and when she returned here, Clarence's advancement was almost over.
Success requires a little cultivation.
It seems that even the world has become different.
When Clarence regained consciousness, he felt a little strange being immersed in this new experience.
And the more so.
The more he realized, the more he realized how much help the "faith" that Qiao Xi had given him at that time had given him.
therefore.
Just after finishing the advancement, Clarence came to thank Qiao Xi personally for the help he had provided him.
“I want to share this achievement with the other two major tribes.”
Clarence said this while standing in front of Qiao Xi, smiling slightly.
"I have a feeling this will be a new way of evolution that will change us. Saint, you provided the aura of 'faith'. Now I want to tell them this news. What do you think?"
He came to ask Qiao Xi's opinion.
Clarence was vaguely aware that he possessed unusual powers.
Possessing power alone is likely to make others covet it. If a special discovery like this can be shared and done as a favor, it will benefit the people of the other two tribes.
So.
The White Snake Tribe will not become the only dominant force in the future.
Evolution can only occur through checks and balances and elimination.
If you stay comfortable for too long without any sense of crisis, you will be quickly eliminated by this world.
"It's up to you. You can arrange it as you wish."
Qiao Xi lay on the table, looking uninterested and not very excited about this.
Clarence was very happy. He bowed slightly to her and said with a smile, "Then I'll send them the invitation letter right away."
After the last banquet incident.
The relationship between the three tribes remained the same, even closer than before. After the banquet, they brought up some long-standing conflicts, using Qiao Xi as an excuse.
There were arguments at the beginning.
But fortunately, all the problems were laid out.
The prejudices between the two tribes were also resolved. Eagles and snakes are natural enemies and they dislike each other. The eagle despises the snake for co-opting the weak, while the snake despises the eagle for being arrogant and only submitting to the strong.
but.
When the White Snake Tribe brought out their achievements.
Let the people of the Grey Eagle Tribe see that with the support of many weak tribes, they are developing peacefully, united and together.
The people of the Grey Eagle Tribe fell silent.
The smaller tribes that belonged to them often fought each other, with wars of varying sizes constantly occurring. The Grey Eagle tribe was generally known for being ruthless and quiet, and when things got out of hand, they would simply send out people to suppress them with force.
This will naturally work.
But those small tribes were also wary of the Grey Eagle Tribe.
They were just watching from the shadows, waiting for the Grey Eagle Tribe to show even the slightest sign of weakness. They would probably take the opportunity to attack in droves, and their loyalty was minimal.
The Black Wolf Tribe listened to their conversation.
August also realized that his tribe was far behind the Grey Eagle and White Snake in some of the layouts.
Nothing has developed.
If it weren't for the fact that their tribesmen were strong and sturdy, and one could fight two, I'm afraid that with the progress of the times, it would only be a matter of time before they were eliminated.
so.
After the banquet ended.
These issues that were raised openly and covertly with Qiao Xi as an excuse were all exposed after the hunting territory was redivided.
Leader of the Grey Eagle tribe.
Although Aldridge and Clarence, the leader of the White Snake Tribe, had different auras, he was not blindly arrogant. He had demonstrated the effectiveness of his approach by demonstrating concrete results.
Before.
For Aldrich, the weak tribes were eliminated in the war.
It is normal and inevitable.
After all, if they want to gain their own independent rights and freedom, they must become strong and win battles, then they will be regarded as allies by the Grey Eagle Tribe and pulled into the camp.
Then these small tribes surrendered to them.
Controlled by the Grey Eagle Tribe.
Aldridge had always thought that Clarence was a hypocritical person, two-faced and fickle, who always smiled when dealing with those weak tribes.
Before.
To Aldridge, there was no point in doing so.
In his opinion, the White Snake Tribe was trying to win over those weak tribes and sending them meat and other vegetables and food every year. This was a thankless task that would only deplete their internal resources.
Not to mention.
Because of the original ethnic differences.
The White Snake Tribe was at a physical disadvantage against both eagles and wolves, so hunting was naturally more difficult for them.
Resources that are hard-earned.
It also had to be distributed among those small tribes. Not only did Aldrich not understand, but even August could not understand it.
Although the Black Wolf Tribe will also help those small tribes.
But it is not possible to share resources.
It is okay for people from small tribes to come and buy, but the Black Wolf Tribe has never done anything to help or share.
After the banquet.
Their heated discussion this time brought new impressions to each of them. Clarence couldn't understand how these people could be so foolish and ignorant. It also completely refreshed the three views of the leader of the White Snake Tribe.
only.
He still happily sent the people from the Grey Eagle Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe away.
Then.
He started to work on the affairs of the East Continent, and the subsequent developments were basically what Qiao Xi experienced later.
People from the Black Wolf Tribe and the Grey Eagle Tribe.
After leaving and returning to their tribes, they began to issue a series of new rules and things started to change slowly.
People from the Grey Eagle tribe.
They tried to soften their attitude a little, which frightened the small tribes that were originally fighting and they no longer cared about fighting.
They all came running over and asked their big brother in a roundabout way if something had happened to him.
Everyone was extremely nervous.
They were afraid that if something really happened to the Grey Eagle tribe and they collapsed, they would all be in trouble as well.
Aldridge was puzzled by this.
Suddenly I fell into deep self-reflection.
Could it really be that... they were usually too tough on the outside world? These small tribes that submitted to them were actually so scared.
He was conflicted.
On the Black Wolf Tribe side, during the short period when August was secretly eating Qiao Xi, he was also very distressed about the current situation of the Black Wolf Tribe.
He didn't know where to start.
Seeing his confusion, Qiao Xi said, "Why don't you ask your tribe members for their opinions? What they need is the most important thing."
August took it to heart.
In the past, if there was anything to be decided, it was basically the leader who had the final say. All decisions were made by the leader.
Qiao Xi asked him to go back and ask.
After August left, he also went there and found that the tribesmen wanted a lot of things.
August collected the opinions.
He chose the target that most people wanted, and when he quietly came to find Qiao Xi at night, he talked about this matter again.
It was originally intended to survive the breeding season.
Later on, they discussed tribal matters while going through the breeding season.
But most of the time.
Qiao Xi only said a few words, and the rest was up to him to think about and formulate a development plan that was in line with the Black Wolf Tribe.
After the breeding season.
After saying goodbye on the last night, August expressed his gratitude and brought her a gift, and never came back.
Qiao Xi was also happy to have some free time.
Her only pleasure in the White Snake Tribe was reading, and her days passed in an ordinary way until Clarence invited her to the New World one day.
They are all leaders.
This position carries important responsibilities, but one must be rational. Impulsiveness is not an option; developing and strengthening one's own tribe is the top priority.
so.
Even though they couldn't help themselves, Qiao Xi was still not their first choice.
The tribe is.
Aldridge was a man of common sense, so he sent her away after the breeding season. Even though he still had some feelings for her, he knew he couldn't give up the tribe for Qiao Xi.
So there is nothing to be nostalgic about.
The only conflict was when he knew Qiao Xi had come to the White Snake Tribe, which made him almost unable to control his temper.
However, a fierce quarrel broke out after the banquet.
It can be said that the problem was solved by accident.
August would feel unwilling and unhappy, he still liked Qiao Xi. But it didn't mean they had to be together all the time. For a moment, he wanted to abandon the tribe and take Qiao Xi away.
But he couldn't put it into practice.
He couldn't abandon his people who trusted him, so after the breeding season, he realized that his strong feelings of love had faded a lot. August also felt more at ease and could face Qiao Xi properly.
There won't be any more radical ideas like that.
After the breeding season.
Qiao Xi said there was no need to meet again, and he really listened and stopped coming.
Until now.
The White Snake Tribe also sent invitations to the Grey Eagle and Black Wolf Tribes, inviting them to gather at the White Snake Tribe and show them the latest evolution of the White Snake Tribe.
Received this message.
Both Aldrich and August took it very seriously.
evolution.
This has always been their most important thing. Whoever evolves first will gain the most powerful power. However, their current evolution is close to perfection. How far can they evolve further?
Nobody knows.
Therefore, Aldrich and August naturally agreed.
Not long after Clarence officially sent out the invitation, he received news that the leaders of the Black Wolf Tribe and the Grey Eagle Tribe had begun to come here.
It's not a party like last time.
The scale is not large.
Therefore, it was just an ordinary meeting.
Qiao Xi was also invited by Clarence to attend the meeting as the Saint of the White Snake Tribe. She also played an important role, after all, Clarence's evolution was related to her.
It has not yet been announced to the tribal members.
Clarence planned to communicate with the leaders of the other two tribes before making a joint decision.
Both August and Aldrich came.
When they came in and saw Clarence and Qiao Xi who had been waiting there, their eyes involuntarily stayed on Qiao Xi, feeling a little surprised.
Discuss tribal affairs.
Normally, the tribal leaders would come in person, and no one else would be allowed to come. And now that Clarence wanted to talk to them about evolution, it seemed a bit strange that he had called Qiao Xi over.
After all, living creatures do not belong to orcs.
Aldrich's gaze lingered briefly on Qiao Xi before he withdrew indifferently. Before that, he had challenged the White Snake Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe in person, asking whether they could hire Qiao Xi to be the high priest of the Grey Eagle Tribe.
But it's obvious.
The girl left it to Clarence to decide, and the act of diverting firepower was already a subtle refusal.
Clarence is a man who is good at maneuvering but has a hidden dagger in his smile.
He said a lot of profound truths, which seemed to have answered the question but also seemed not to have answered the question.
What this means is that the Saint is extremely important to the White Snake Tribe. Although she does not belong to the White Snake Tribe, if she wants to leave, they will respect her choice.
This comes full circle.
Isn't it just back to square one?
It was the same as answering and not answering. Aldridge was too lazy to play Tai Chi with the people of the White Snake Tribe, so he simply let the matter go and never mentioned it again.
August was a little confused.
When he saw Qiao Xi, he didn't shy away and greeted the girl openly. Qiao Xi looked up at him and nodded slightly in response.
Although……
He still felt a little confused about Qiao Xi's choice to stay in the White Snake Tribe.
But after seeing the White Snake Tribe's achievements, August had to remain silent and admire them. They thought the White Snake Tribe was playing tricks, but they were surprised to find that they had begun to develop in all aspects.
In comparison.
Without comprehensive development, they will be at a disadvantage.
If they continue to be so stubborn, they will be eliminated by the times and be submerged in the long river of history just like the former overlords.
finally.
Clarence took the lead again.
"This evolution is related to the aura of 'faith' and also to the Saint."
He said so.
Aldrich and August's attention also shifted from Clarence to Qiao Xi. The atmosphere was serious when discussing business matters, without any personal emotions or prejudices.
Belief?
This is important for the White Snake Tribe, but also for the Black Wolf Tribe and the Grey Eagle Tribe.
It feels ridiculous.
And when August and Aldrich heard that Clarence had successfully completed his own evolution after gaining new power of "faith" with the help of the saint.
They felt even more incredible.
This is really ridiculous.
Auguste couldn't believe it, but after a brief demonstration of Clarence's changes, they were all astonished.
How far has this evolved?
Unable to explain it for the time being, Clarence turned his gaze to Qiao Xi.
He only has a rough idea.
He didn't understand what the essence of that breath of faith was. Since the Saint could give him power, he should know it.
Noticing his gaze.
Qiao Xi no longer acted as a transparent spectator, she said.
"That is a kind of power called 'spiritual energy', which is the opposite of the demonic energy that was prevalent on the continent before."
She began to explain these two forces.
August was still a little confused when he heard it. He couldn't wrap his mind around it for a while and didn't quite understand it.
And Aldridge.
I don’t know if he understood or not. Occasionally he would look thoughtful, as if he was thinking about what Qiao Xi said.
"Although there were some missteps, the White Snake Tribe is on the right track."
Qiao Xi added this.
Because of their tribal beliefs, they believe that all things have spirits and are descendants of Teng Snake.
therefore.
The aura of 'faith' they sensed was actually spiritual power. The people of the White Snake Tribe were determined to condense their power, slowly cultivating it unconsciously.
Even though they themselves don't realize it.
but.
It was indeed through this method that their physical fitness became stronger and stronger, and they stood out among the thousands of ethnic groups.
Orcs from the Western Continent.
They are all born from the fruit of the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Life absorbs spiritual power to grow.
They were born from the fruit.
It is naturally very suitable for cultivating spiritual power, but in the initial period, the orcs had low intelligence and had no idea about it.
later.
Taught by the great wizard, it was passed down from generation to generation, and gradually evolved into a higher wisdom.
But in their case.
I haven't reached the level yet where I can understand and contact spiritual energy, so for this generation, it's just right.
It just needs a guide.
It takes an opportunity.
Just as the great wizards of the past came to this world and brought them knowledge and civilization, now they want to access a completely new system of power and similarly need a guide to lead them.
So, Qiao Xi came.
A pure spiritual body composed of pure spiritual energy was born in this world.
She said these.
For August and Aldridge, this was something completely new and unfamiliar. Clarence, on the other hand, was able to follow the train of thought and changed his mindset.
You will understand it soon.
The breath of 'faith' is spiritual power, and Qiao Xi controls spiritual power.
It is also the embodiment of spiritual energy.
It seems to be true that she is the saint sent by the White Snake Tribe's believer Teng Snake, because the White Snake Tribe believes in the power of "faith" possessed by Teng Snake.
There was silence for a long while.
Aldridge seemed to have recovered, and he looked up at Qiao Xi beside him.
"Can we have that kind of power too?"
How painful it is to be infected by evil spirits.
He has experienced it.
Qiao Xi said that she had spiritual power, so at that time, the power that could calm the evil spirit that Aldrich felt when he touched her was spiritual power?
"Yes, your physiques are capable of cultivation. You and August will probably progress faster than the average tribesman."
Qiao Xi nodded slightly.
The progress was faster, not only because they were originally leaders and had special physiques.
More important.
It was also because of their closer relationship with Qiao Xi that they all absorbed Qiao Xi's spiritual power, which not only completely healed the old injuries they had suffered as leaders in the fighting.
and.
To a certain extent, it also changed the original physical condition, becoming a spiritual body more suitable for cultivation.
"Me and August?"
Aldrich looked at her quietly, trying to interpret the girl's expression.
only.
Qiao Xi's heart was as calm as water, and she returned the same calm look and added.
"Yes, you and August are both special. You absorbed my original spiritual power, so your physical constitution has changed."
Hearing this.
Aldridge raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I've taken great advantage of the Saint Lady. I'll never forget your life-saving grace. From now on... if you wish, I'm willing to personally offer you everything in the Grey Eagle Tribe."
Memories surfaced, reminding him.
At that time, Qiao Xi used his own strength to save others regardless of the danger.
They even went to the depths of the forbidden forest and found him.
He also saved him from being infected by evil spirits.
At that time, Aldridge was infected and lost all his sanity. When he came to his senses, his body was still in a weak state after being eroded, and he could not leave Qiao Xi for a while.
I can only continue to absorb that strange power.
Looking back now.
It turned out that it was spiritual power, and Qiao Xi gave him almost all of the spiritual power at that time, which pulled him back from the state of deep infection by demonic energy.
Aldridge was grateful.
He also had selfish motives and wanted Qiao Xi to stay, but Qiao Xi had no such intention, so he didn't say anything and didn't stop her.
Until she appeared in the White Snake Tribe without any warning.
I have always been calm and composed...
Just got a little out of control.
Meanwhile, August was the last to come to his senses. He had just grasped the concept of spiritual power, and now he heard what Aldridge said.
For no reason.
He felt a little sour and swollen in his heart. Qiao Xi had saved him in a disguised way. If he hadn't had her power in the forbidden forest, he would have been in trouble.
I'm afraid he will be infected too.
August glanced at Aldridge over there, then quietly moved closer to Qiao Xi and sat closer.
The hand hidden under the wooden table.
He quietly walked over and held the girl's cold little hand.
And this move.
Naturally, this caused Qiao Xi to look at him with doubt, but before she could speak, August spoke seriously.
"I missed you, so much."
They made no secret of the fact that this was the place where they were discussing serious matters.
He didn't pay any attention to the two leaders beside him, who had clashed with him at the banquet before. He expressed his emotions sincerely and frankly, and sat next to Qiao Xi.
“…”
The girl said nothing and looked away carelessly without looking at him.
I want to pull my hand back.
Instead, August pulled her tighter with more tension.
Aldridge was also silent.
His hawk-like sharp gaze stayed on Qiao Xi. He did not choose to sit directly next to the girl, but sat opposite her.
now.
As long as Qiao Xi looked up, she would meet his gaze.
Next to Aldridge.
Clarence, of course.
A man with a dagger hidden in his smile, he always wore a polite and hypocritical smile. The enemy tribes thought he was insidious, cunning and hypocritical, while the smaller tribes within the tribe thought he was kind and friendly.
What others think is their business.
Qiao Xi had come into contact with it herself.
At first, Clarence's smile was indeed hypocritical and short-sighted, but he was very considerate in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and his considerations were completely centered around her.
So what if he's a little cunning?
After all, he is a relatively good person. He clearly stated his purpose, which is to absorb her spiritual energy.
Qiao Xi waited for him to mention it.
Of course I gave it to you if it was a favor you wanted to do.
So the three leaders present.
They had all absorbed her spiritual energy and received her help. At this moment, everyone was silent.
And Clarence.
At this moment, he also keenly noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere. The other two people had absorbed Qiao Xi's spiritual power, so Clarence had expected it and didn't find it strange.
after all.
Before, Qiao Xi was a living creature in the Black Wolf Tribe, and later the Black Wolf Tribe had intersections with the Grey Eagle Tribe, so it made sense that she was on Aldridge's side.
but……
What's with their unnatural expressions now?
Clarence was thinking.
Suddenly, a picture of a backward primitive tribe in the Eastern Continent that was transmitted to the tribesmen slowly overlapped.
I seem to have seen this expression somewhere before.
That’s right.
Both males and females in the New World will have this slightly subtle expression before or after reproduction.
At that time, the White Snake Tribe was somewhat curious about their habits.
The tribesmen were also observing in secret.
But they couldn't understand it, thinking that doing so was primitive and that the offspring would be too weak.
After a brief observation period.
I'm not interested anymore.
But now Clarence caught a glimpse of some cramped and subtle aura from the two leaders of the Grey Eagle Tribe and the Black Wolf Tribe.
First at the banquet.
Their reaction made Clarence think that they were unwilling to accept the loss of their lives, but now thinking about it, it seemed that was not the case.
This is really...
A bit beyond expectations.
