Chapter 37 How many people are there in our Yanhuang tribe?

Under the scorching sun, the earth seemed to be melting, and it was especially hot at noon.

Several men walked slowly along the river, seemingly not afraid of the strange man-eating fish inside. Of course, if you look carefully, there is no trace of the strange fish in this section of the river.

Today is the big day for moving. Ge and a few companions carried wooden tables to the newly built house. These were the last things they wanted to bring to their new home.

When Lin Xiao saw Ge coming back with someone, he casually asked, "Have you brought everything back?"

"Took them all!" Ge chuckled, scratched his head and added, "We have nothing but animal skin clothes."

These ronin were destitute and had nothing. Even the animal skin clothes they were wearing were made new during this period. The animal skin clothes they wore before were already worn out. The ones they were wearing at this time were The clothes are the same style as Lin Xiao's.

At Lin Xiao's request, several people made the clothes short-sleeved and wore them in the style of shorts. Lin Xiao's request was very simple. You don't have to wear clothes, but you must wear pants. You are absolutely not allowed to act like a hooligan. , because it's really irritating to the eyes, comparable to magic damage!

Their newly built house was simply and roughly built into a row of bungalows. Lin Xiao's room was the one on the far right, with front and rear ventilation and good lighting. Next door to him was Lei Helie and the others.

During lunch, they moved the table out of the room and placed it under the straw shed. Then they each put on their own chairs, sat on the table and started eating.

"We just moved here, and there are still a lot of ferocious beasts around here," Lin Xiao suddenly said in a deep voice while eating, "Don't go fishing during this period.

"Lei, you will be hunting near the place where we live during this period. The carnivorous beasts will be driven away directly. The grass-eating animals will not need to worry about them."

Lei nodded, "Okay."

Although Lei felt a little regretful that he couldn't eat fish, Lin Xiao was right. They had just moved here and there were traces of wild beasts nearby. If they didn't kill those wild beasts, it would be inconvenient for them to live here.

"We will go around here later and find some wild fruits and vegetables to eat with meat. Meat alone will not work." Lin Xiao thought for a while and said.

The nine ronin had absolutely no objection. They just followed whatever Lin Xiao and the other two said. Not to mention Lei and Lie, they all listened to Lin Xiao.

After lunch, Lei followed Lin Xiao's request to drive away the wild beasts nearby, while Lin Xiao took Lie and a few ronin to look for edible wild fruits.

Lin Xiao also hopes to discover some crops, but unfortunately he has not succeeded in this regard. He has not seen any plants such as wheat and rice so far!

As for plants such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, they are all buried in the soil. It is not something he can find if he wants to find them. If he wants to find these things, Lin Xiao estimates that he has to dig around the area to have even a small chance. .

Lin Xiao is not blind enough to believe that he is the chosen one. He can encounter high-yielding crops like potatoes whenever he goes out.

While looking for wild fruits, Lin Xiao took a look at his surroundings.

The dense grass nearby was as tall as a man, almost submerging him in it. He thought for a while and said to Ge and others: "The grass near here must be dealt with as soon as possible. It has grown too high. If a beast approaches, Our place will be in danger if we don't discover it in time."

"Lei and the others are going out hunting, and they won't be home at all times." Lin Xiao reminded everyone after thinking about it.

Ge Wenyan nodded heavily, obviously agreeing with Lin Xiao's words, "Okay!"

The next day, Ge and the others simply lined up in a row, holding knives in their hands, cutting the grass in front of them as they walked, and the view ahead slowly became wider.

After Lin Xiao arranged everyone's work, when he returned to his residence, there was no one around. Lei didn't know when he came back.

Lei said to him: "Axiao, when do you plan to get a totem tattoo on yourself?"

As soon as Lin Xiao heard this, he knew that Lei was going to urge him. After all, he had tattooed totems on both Lei and Lie a long time ago. His main purpose in tattooing the totem on Lei was to scare people, but he didn't expect that the tattooed totem would be useful and help Lei become a totem warrior.

"Ah, just for this period of time. I have been living in a cave before and I found it inconvenient, so I didn't get a totem tattoo on myself." Lin Xiao said.

Although he was afraid of pain, he also knew that getting a totem tattoo could not be delayed. Even if it hurt again, he had to get one for himself. Just like what he said to Ge and the others, Lei Helie could not always be by his side. , he still needs to obtain the power of the totem so that he can protect himself.

Although Lei is not very old, because he knows Lin Xiao and often sees Bahrain Wu Zhu, he still has a comprehensive perspective on the problem. He smiled and said: "That's good, I thought you were afraid. It hurts, so I didn't give myself a tattoo. In fact, when you gave me the dragon tattoo for the second time, I didn't feel any pain at all. Ah Xiao, I believe you can do it!"

Lin Xiao felt a little guilty: Why did the little brat Lei know him so well and hit the nail on the head! He was just afraid of pain.

After lunch the next day, Lin Xiao took a deep breath, stretched and said, "I'm going to bed first. You guys can be busy. There's no need to wake me up. I'm a little tired lately, I'll get up by myself."

"good."

Everyone was not surprised, as they all knew that Axiao had the habit of taking a nap at noon, so they turned around and continued to talk about what to eat today and what they needed to do tomorrow.

In the room, Lin Xiao closed the door, opened the window on the side, took a deep breath, took the bone needles and tattoo paint, and sat down on the bed covered with straw mats. He couldn't put it off any longer!

Take your time and make the tattoo smaller, it won't be a big problem!

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, feeling pain and wrinkles at the same time.

In the hot summer, it was so hot that one almost fainted. Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead, bent his waist and cut off all the weeds as tall as a person, almost close to the grass roots.

Fortunately, Ya made him a straw hat so that he wouldn't suffer from heatstroke. Ge exhaled hot air and put the weeds in his backpack. These weeds could be beaten back and stuffed to dry, and after drying they could be draped on the bed.

Ge stood up straight, saw Lei who was also standing up, and waved to Lei.

Lei smiled at him and lowered his head as if he was talking to someone. Ge thought about it and guessed that Lei should be talking to Lie, who would occasionally bring them water.

Lie made some lemonade according to the method given to him by Lin Xiao, and gave a glass of water to each of his companions who had worked hard. Everyone had unsatisfied expressions, but because there were not many lemons, each person only had one glass and wanted to drink water. There is only water in the river.

"Is A Xiao still sleeping? It's already this time." After Lie gave everyone water, he took the remaining lemonade and prepared to keep it for Lin Xiao, but strangely A Xiao didn't get up yet.

Although Lin Xiao has the habit of taking a nap, he seemed to sleep longer than usual today, so Lie couldn't help but feel a little strange. He knocked on the door and heard Lin Xiao's voice asking: "Who?"

Lie: "Axiao, it's me, Lie, can I come in?"

"come in."

For some reason, Lie felt that Lin Xiao's tone was a little weird, but Lie didn't take it to heart. After he pushed the door open and entered, he was stunned for a moment, and then closed the door subconsciously.

He stared at the lower right side of Lin Xiao's waist. Others might not notice this position, but Lin Xiao later told the two brothers to get the totem tattooed here, so he saw it at a glance.

Dragon pattern!

"A Xiao, you've got your totem tattooed!" Lie happily threw the lemonade in his hand on the table and walked up to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded. After three hours of hard work, he finally finished tattooing the totem on his body.

"Axiao, can you mobilize the power of the totem now?" Lie asked urgently.

Lin Xiao first nodded, then shook his head, his expression indescribably tangled.

Lie scratched his head and wondered whether Lin Xiao said he could do it or not. He thought about it and suddenly realized that Lin Xiao might not know how to use the power of the totem in his body. He said, "Axiao, don't you think you can do it yet?" Do you know how to mobilize the power of totem?

"I'm telling you, it's just a feeling. All you need to do is think about using the power of the totem! It's very simple!"

After hearing this, Lin Xiao quickly called on the power of the totem in his body, and mysterious totem patterns surged out from the totem near his hip bones, just like when Lei Lie and the two used totem patterns.

Lie smiled and said, "Don't you have good control?"

"It looks the same, but something is wrong." Lin Xiao hesitated and said.

Lie asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's just that I feel like my body hasn't changed that much. My physical fitness is just better than before."

After Lin Xiao tattooed the totem on himself, he didn't feel any obvious changes in his body. There were not big changes in his vision, hearing, and smell. However, his body was relatively stronger, but the changes were not obvious.

The totem tattoo showed the same mysterious lines as Lei and Lie, which showed that his tattoo was still useful on his body, but it just didn't feel the same.

"Maybe you think too much, just wait for me." Lie looked at Lin Xiao and thought for a while, then went out and picked up two stones and came in. He handed the stones to Lin Xiao and said, "Axiao, try to crush them. Here's this stone!"

Lin Xiao took the stone from Lie's hand and mobilized the power of the totem, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't hold it!

"It doesn't seem possible." Lin Xiao shook his head in frustration.

Lie was startled for a moment. Could it be that the stone was too hard?

Lie took the stone from Lin Xiao's hand and subconsciously mobilized the power of the totem. With two clicks, the stone in his hand instantly broke into tiny pieces...

"What's going on?" Lie looked confused. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. There were totem patterns on Ah Xiao's body. After using the power of the totem, there were also mysterious patterns flowing outward, but Ah Xiao There's something wrong with Xiao's power!

Lin Xiao stared at the strange black symbols drilled out of the totem patterns on his body. These symbols were similar to those on Lei Lie and others, but their strength was very different. He could feel that his body was getting stronger, but his strength was very limited. Unlike Lei Helie, who is as exaggerated as he is now, he can only catch up with the physical fitness of Ge and others.

Lin Xiao looked at the totem pattern on his body speechlessly. How come this thing is real on Lei and Lie's body? When it comes to him, his strength is directly reduced.

Is it scary that you can basically only achieve your original goal? !

Is it because he traveled through time? Even if you give me a discount, you won't bring something like this! This is almost the same as nothing!

But this thing can also spread out those mysterious lines, which are the same as those on Lei and Lie.

Lin Xiao thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out what the principle was, and he even doubted life.

I endured the pain of getting tattooed for so long, but the result is really amazing.

Lin Xiao wanted to cry just thinking about it.

Oh, should he be grateful? At least this totem pattern has little effect, but it comes with mysterious patterns that look just like real ones. The bluffing effect should be very good.

Lie saw that Lin Xiao was silent and was a little worried about Lin Xiao's condition. He frowned and whispered, "Ah Xiao, are you okay? Don't be sad, my brother and I will protect you!"

Lin Xiao felt his heart warm when he heard this, and whispered: "I'm fine, but now I have to make sure whether the totem is useless only on me, or whether it can't be used by anyone else except Lei and Lie."

…

As soon as Lei came back, he was caught by Lie and sent to Lin Xiao's room. After hearing Lin Xiao talk about his physical condition, Lei was much calmer. He lowered his voice and said: "A Xiao, do you want to choose some of them to try? "

"Well," Lin Xiao nodded heavily, "My situation is quite special. It is possible for the power of totem to occur, but I still want to make sure."

Lei thought for a while and said: "After getting along with each other for this period of time, I think Ge and the others are not bad, but they have had tribes before. I am a little worried that they will not join Yanhuang after gaining the power of totem, but go to find their own clansman."

Lin Xiao thought about it, "I'll ask them what they think after dinner."

"That's fine," Lei nodded, patted Lin Xiao's shoulder again and said seriously, "A Xiao, Lie and I will always protect you. We are family members and tribesmen!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I know!"

That night, just after dinner, Lin Xiao and the three of them were sitting by the fire.

Lin Xiao rested for a while after the meal and said to Ge and others seriously: "I know you have always been curious about why the three of us asked to live with you. I can tell you today."

The eyes of the nine ronin suddenly lit up. They had been living together for a while. During this time, Lin Xiao and the other three were taking care of them. They had always been curious about what the three of Lin Xiao and the other wanted to do.

Seeing the expectant looks of the nine people, Lin Xiao said: "The three of us are from the Yanhuang tribe. I know you have been speculating whether our tribe has been destroyed. Now I can tell you clearly that it has not!"

Ge was stunned for a moment and asked: "Then why did you leave the Yanhuang tribe to live here with us?"

Lin Xiao: "Because our tribe is small and we need more tribesmen."

Hearing these words, a look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the nine ronin. When Lin Xiao said that the tribe had not been destroyed, the nine people looked at Lin Xiao and the three of them excitedly, just like a pervert seeing a beautiful girl.

A tribe wants new people, and aren't they just people!

To be accepted into a new tribe! That means they will become tribal people!

And Lin Xiao's tribe must be very strong. There is no doubt about this. After sleeping and eating together in the cave during this period, they have actually discovered that the youngest Lie is also a totem warrior!

With a totem warrior who is less than ten years old, what kind of tribe is this?

"I, can we...can it?" Ge's Adam's apple was throbbing, and he stumbled a bit when he spoke because of his excitement.

Lin Xiao glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "This question should be asked of you. Do you think you can join a new tribe sincerely? Yanhuang does not ask you to completely forget and abandon your former tribe, but after joining Yanhuang, you Remember that you are all Yanhuang people from now on!"

Ge said solemnly: "I think we can all do this, but...but if we meet our former tribesmen, can we help them?"

Lin Xiao frowned, help?

Seeing Lin Xiao's frown, Ge hurriedly explained: "Please don't get me wrong, I just mean to give them some small help. Of course, the premise is that it will not affect Yanhuang's interests. They are all ronin and will never pose a threat to Yanhuang!"

"Just like the Bahrain tribe did... let them live near the Yanhuang tribe... No, you don't have to live near Yanhuang, as long as they can live outside Yanhuang's territory!"

They couldn't lose this opportunity, so they were very anxious to explain!

"That's no problem. I just said that Yanhuang needs more tribesmen. It is too small. If your tribesmen have good character, we will consider letting them join Yanhuang." Lin Xiao said softly.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the eyes of the nine people suddenly lit up. Ya raised his hand and asked softly: "A Xiao, can I understand what you mean is: you allow more people to join Yanhuang, as long as these people are not bad?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Absolutely."

Oh my god, what did they hear! Yanhuang allowed their former tribesmen to join Yanhuang!

Thanks to the ancestor god, this tribe is also magical! Even the legendary Bahrain tribe only allows other people to live near their tribe. Only those who successfully activate the power of the totem through the blood and fire sacrifice can join the Bahrain tribe! In comparison, Yanhuang's requirements are obviously much looser!

"I'll give you one day to think about it, and give it to me tomorrow..."

Before Lin Xiao could say the word 'reply', nine people were talking about it.

"I swear to the ancestors that I am willing to join Yanhuang without betraying Yanhuang!"

"I swear to the ancestor god of Haran, and to the ancestor god of Yanhuang, as long as I join Yanhuang, I will never betray Yanhuang!"

After the nine people expressed their opinions one after another, Lin Xiao nodded slightly. At this time, Ge asked in a low voice: "A Xiao, we all want to join! But do we need to go through any tests to join Yanhuang?"

Lin Xiao said: "No, now I officially approve you to join the Yanhuang tribe."

"That's enough!" Ge couldn't believe it, and he asked again: "Where is our Yanhuang tribe? Do we need to pack up and go back immediately?"

Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "No need, I won't tell you where the Yanhuang tribe is for now."

"That's it for today. Come to my room tomorrow morning, Ge, and I will tell you where Yanhuang is." Lin Xiao thought for a while and said.

Ge scratched his head, is the Yanhuang tribe so mysterious?

But he didn't ask any more, "Okay!"

A night of silence.

The next day, Lin Xiao was sleeping in a daze.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then someone outside the door shouted in a low voice: "Axiao, are you awake?"

Lin Xiao stood up and opened the door and saw Ge standing at the door, his sincere eyes wide open, "A Xiao, wake up! I'm here!"

Lin Xiao lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist, his mouth twitching slightly, six o'clock in the morning, why not be so early!

"I stood at the door for a long time, but you never got up to open the door, so I knocked on the door!" Ge explained eagerly.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to take out an appropriate amount of anesthetic and handed it to Ge Dao: "Okay, take this first."

Ge recognized at a glance that it was a liquid made from the kind of coma-inducing herbs that Lin Xiao had studied before. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Eat this?"

"Yeah." Lin Xiao nodded, then ignored Ge and went out to wash up.

Ge stared at the juice in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp without thinking too much!

His body felt so heavy, as if something heavy was pressing on his body, and Ge slowly lost consciousness.

Ge felt as if he had slept deeply and was very energetic. He remembered that A Xiao asked him to eat the kind of grass that can make people unconscious, and then he fell asleep... Well, the next thing, he didn't Memorized.

Ge slowly opened his eyes and saw only the backs of Lin Xiao and Lie. He rubbed his head and felt that everything he saw now was different from before and became clearer. He shook his head, "A Xiao, I... …"

Just as Ge was about to ask what happened, he suddenly found something extra on his arm. To be precise, it was a totem exactly the same as the one on Lei's body!

This, this isn't what he thought, is it? !

Did he just undergo a blood and fire sacrifice? !

No...that's not right!

Hold!

Ge was thinking about this, thinking about using the power of his body, and the mysterious black lines spread outward along the totem pattern and spread all over his body.

Lin Xiao turned to look at him and asked casually: "How do you feel?"

"Very, very good..." Ge looked confused, "It has never been so good!"

Lin Xiao pointed to the stone that had been prepared for testing and said, "Try crushing that stone."

When Ge heard Lin Xiao's words, he looked at a loss, but he still did as he was told and took the stone in his hand. He felt that he didn't exert much force when he heard two clicks and the stone in his hand instantly broke into several pieces.

"I, have I really become a totem warrior?" Ge has fully realized what happened. At this time, his mind can no longer turn around. Didn't he sleep? Why did he become a totem warrior?

Seeing that he was making a fuss, Lie rolled his eyes at Ge and said, "Nonsense."

"What, what's going on?" This is completely beyond Ge's understanding!

Naturally, Lie would not tell him that the totem pattern on his body was tattooed on him by Lin Xiao. This was a secret. They put away the things before Ge woke up.

"Just think that you have experienced a blood and fire sacrifice from the Yanhuang tribe. Everyone in the Yanhuang tribe will become a totem warrior. Just get used to it." Lin Xiao said softly. He saw Ge easily crush the stone. , suddenly heartbroken.

How could this totem recognize people? Of course, at the same time, his heart was relieved. It seemed that the power of the totem should be related to blood. The reason why the totem power on him was not strong was probably because he was not originally from here.

When Ge heard Lin Xiao's words, he couldn't think at all. Can everyone in the Yanhuang tribe become a totem warrior? How awesome is this tribe? He really can't get used to this!

Ge weakly raised his little hand, "I have one last question! Can I ask it?"

Lin Xiao saw Ge's expression of 'Please, please, tell me' and nodded, "Ask."

Ge: "How many people are there in our Yanhuang tribe?"

Lin Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Including nine of you, there are twelve in total."

Ge: "???"
