Chapter 504 Awakening, Perfection·Bronze Bloodline
"Good boy, you actually caught the Venom Flying Dragon alive as a sacrifice." The burly old man named Hui, the shaman of the Copper Tree Tribe, had a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
No one was jealous of this. After all, Lu Xingshi wanted to become a shaman and would not compete with them for the position of chief.
Chieftaincy is not a system of inheritance, but whoever is stronger becomes the new chieftain.
The actual leader is a shaman, and the chief is more like a thug.
Of course, the reason why everyone wants to become a chief is not because of power. In this era, power is not that obvious, but to show off one's force and get better treatment, which is probably spiritual and material satisfaction.
Become a chief and get a larger share when distributing food.
"Let me go, I'm willing to provide you with secrets from far away." The Venom Flying Dragon roared.
But no one paid any attention to it. What's the use of distant secrets? Can't eat it either.
"Go ahead and offer the sacrifice to the totem to awaken your bloodline," Hui said.
When Lu Xingshi saw this, he dragged the Venom Flying Dragon and threw it directly in front of the sacrificial altar. The huge copper tree, which was the totem of the Bronze Tree Tribe, made Lu Xingshi feel uncomfortable.
‘Isn’t this thing the bronze sacred tree from Sanxingdui… This thing is too outrageous. ’ Lu Xingshi complained.
In fact, he has understood that the bronze bloodline in his body is not a level, and it will not evolve into silver, gold, diamond and other bloodlines.
However, there should be silver bloodline and gold bloodline, probably some similar type or variety.
Instead of using these two precious metals for decoration, it would be better to use the skulls of ferocious beasts and enemies.
Just like this witch, the hat he wears is made from the skull of some kind of ferocious beast, and the fur on his body is peeled off from a powerful ferocious beast.
Adding up the bits and pieces, this messy body decoration can be said to represent the death of hundreds of ferocious beasts.
The witch is not a weak mage, but has a powerful strength that is not inferior to the totem warrior.
"Ah... you..."
A layer of bronze texture appeared on the Venom Flying Dragon's body, and branches made of bronze grew.
Then it began to soften and collapse, and finally turned into a brilliance similar to a tree seed and submerged into Lu Xingshi's body.
The blood hidden deep in the body began to boil, and the bronze-like texture covered Lu Xingshi's skin and radiated radiance.
Everyone was whispering to each other when they saw this scene.
And Hui's eyes were extremely shocked: "Bronze's bloodline is so perfect, Lu is simply a born witch."
His muttering fell on everyone's ears and once again caused waves.
"It seems that he should be able to obtain a natural bloodline ability, okay, okay."
As the light and bronze were completely integrated into Lu Xingshi's body, Lu Xingshi returned to his original appearance.
At the same time, Lu Xingshi also opened his eyes. He could feel the activation of his bronze bloodline, but it was still in its infancy and needed to be slowly improved.
As for the Venom Flying Dragon, it serves as the material for Lu Xingshi to awaken his bloodline.
In addition, he also gained an ability that looked very rough and primitive in his eyes. Although he could grow, he was very limited in terms of upper limit and potential.
The ability has no name, and its effect is that it can consume bronze to strengthen its body.
After growing to the upper limit, he can use the remaining bronze in his body to cover his whole body, giving himself an extra layer of protection.
"How's it going? What bloodline abilities have you gained?"
After Lu Xingshi completed his bloodline awakening, Hui rushed over to ask about it immediately.
Lu Xingshi was not surprised why the other party could know. He was not the only one who could awaken the bloodline ability. In addition to Hui as a witch, Plow as a tribal chief was also useful. Then there were several remaining people who also awakened the bloodline ability.
"The ability is probably..." Lu Xingshi didn't hide anything, he said everything.
This rough and primitive bloodline ability must be improved, even if it is spread, it doesn't matter.
What they knew was the first version. By the time Lu Xingshi really fought, this bloodline ability had been developed no matter how many versions later, and it had already changed completely.
"Not bad, not bad. If you don't have the qualifications of a witch, you might be a strong contender for the chief." Hui said with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's a pity that you can only become a witch." The current chief Li on the side also said happily.
The power of the witch does not affect him as the chief, but can bring greater benefits to the tribe.
"Okay, let's disperse. Come with me." Hui asked everyone in the tribe to disperse, and then he took Lu Xingshi into the witch's camp.
"I will let the plow build a tent for you, and you can live in the tent like me."
"Next, I will teach you everything a shaman needs to know." Hui began to explain to Lu Xingshi what Lu Xingshi wanted to learn.
Herbal medicine, medicine, divination, weather, farming, etc. all need to be learned.
There is even writing, but no matter which subject it is, it is actually very primitive, and there are many errors and omissions in it. But Lu Xingshi didn't care.
It has been passed down for a long time, and it should be the knowledge of witchcraft.
If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Lu Xingshi grows up smoothly, the Tongshu tribe will be able to have a second witch.
It's not like Wu can only have one chief.
And in this era, it is not easy to train a witch.
At the same time, Lu Xingshi also learned the difference between witches and totem warriors.
Witches use their blood to control totems and gain the ability to cast spells.
Totem warriors, on the other hand, use totems to guide their bloodline and gain a strong body and will.
Therefore, as long as the totem warrior completes the coming-of-age ceremony, he can become a powerful warrior with the help of the totem, but the witch cannot do it and needs the corresponding qualifications to be able to control the totem.
This is a natural talent. There is indeed a way to acquire the qualifications to become a witch later in life, but the probability of encountering such a thing is so low that it can be ignored.
After listening to this, Lu Xingshi finally understood that this should be regarded as the predecessor of cultivation. Whether it is a bloodline control totem or a totem guiding the bloodline, essentially he cannot interfere on his own and can only passively grow through the totem.
This method is not even the prototype of the concept of cultivation, it can only be regarded as radiation.
The so-called bloodline control totem is probably equivalent to knowing how to use firearms but not knowing the manufacturing and principles of firearms.
However, if you develop it in depth, you can indeed have the ability to control totems.
In Lu Xingshi's view, there is a profound contradiction between shamans and totem warriors.
Once a witch can truly master the totem, then the totem will become the possession of the witch. All totem warriors who need a totem to guide the growth of their bloodline will either be controlled by the witch, or they will be unable to become stronger without the totem.
As for the totem, it is the protector of the tribe. It has no self or spiritual intelligence. It has special abilities generated through worship. Of course, the materials required to make the totem are not simple.
However, at this stage, both witches and totem warriors still complement each other, and totem warriors need the guidance and assistance of witches.
Such as totem magic.
"What will happen if I control the totem through blood and use the totem to guide the blood?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.
"Of course he has the magic of a witch and the strong body and will of a totem warrior." Hui looked at Lu Xingshi strangely.
"Can we be together???" Lu Xingshi was a little bit confused. He thought they were incompatible, but he didn't expect that they could be practitioners together.
"Of course not. Witches can do it at the same time, but totem warriors don't have the qualifications. They can't control the totem and can only choose to guide the totem with their blood."
"Why else do you think I am so powerful?"
"Even Li, the most powerful tribal warrior, is no match for me." Hui bluntly stated that he was the strongest in the tribe. If totem warriors were added as restrictions, then as a witch, he would definitely not be able to participate. , so it’s a plow.
He thought he had discovered a blind spot, but he didn't expect that others already knew about it.
Sure enough, these people don't look like serious primitive people at first glance. What they lack is not IQ, but information and cognition.
If we really regarded this group of people as stupid primitive people who drank blood from their hair, I'm afraid they would have to be hung up and beaten.
Just like the ancients just lived in ancient times, it is not as good as the information explosion of modern people. It is outrageous to really think that any modern person can crush the ancients.
"I'm very happy that you are good at thinking."
"After all, the witch is the leader of the entire tribe. He not only needs enough strength, but also a smart enough mind." Hui became more and more satisfied with Lu Xingshi.
Lu Xingshi could only say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. As long as you are good to your senses, even being rude can be seen as neither humble nor overbearing.
"Then what should I do next?" Lu Xingshi asked.
"You have just awakened your bloodline. The bloodline needs to be temporarily stable, so there is no need to control the totem and guide the bloodline for the time being. Instead, you need to learn the responsibilities of a witch first."
"Today is a day off. Tomorrow we will plant seeds. You should stay with me and learn the techniques I use when leading people to plant seeds."
"Join me tomorrow night to identify herbs and prepare for learning medical skills." Hui briefly formulated a witchcraft learning plan for Lu Xingshi.
A witch's strength is only part of his responsibilities, not all of them.
Strengthening and protecting only occupy the majority, and strengthening the entire tribe is the real responsibility of the witch.
It's just that it's not that easy to grow the tribe. Whether it's people's livelihood or population, it's not a small problem.
"Yes, Wu, I will study hard." Lu Xingshi said.
He did not feel contempt because he had a lot of knowledge. A brand new world and a completely different extraordinary system were a huge treasure.
I need a pioneer to teach me and solve my doubts, even if this pioneer may not know much or even make mistakes.
But this is no reason for his arrogance.
