Chapter 514: Insect Eaters Outside the Hunting Area
Lu Xingshi and Wu packed their bags and set off quickly.
The larvae of the blood copper beetle were frozen with a certain effect using a totem spell. If they didn't eat or drink for a month, they would be fine. When the fire copper tribe came, the witches of their tribe could unblock it by themselves.
"I heard that after I came back, I knew that you were arranged to go to the Fire Copper Tribe to exchange for Fire Essence Copper, and your face looked ugly." Wo said with some gloating.
"When did he come back? Why didn't I know?" Lu Xingshi thought that Ke had run away, but he didn't expect that he was back.
After all, he was sneaky when he left, which was no different from running away after committing a crime.
"He came back when you and Hui went to catch larvae in the tunnel behind the tribe."
"You come to me as soon as you catch me. I'm sure I haven't met you yet."
"But this kid is really lucky. He picked up a piece of blood copper from somewhere, and after eating it, he actually developed bloodline abilities." Wo's expression was filled with envy.
"Oh, he has always been lucky." Lu Xingshi was not surprised. The other party did have great perseverance and took it immediately. He thought he would wait until the blood concentration was higher before taking it.
Wo Ze was chattering to Lu Xingshi about things in the tribe, but these things... Lu Xingshi also knew.
The Bronze Tree Tribe is so big in total, and he helps with various tasks every day, and you can hear a lot of gossip.
However, once gossip is spread, it can easily turn into an outrageous version. Fortunately, there are not many people, otherwise it will become another news from the beginning of the village to the end of the village.
"But I always feel like there's something weird about Ke." Wu said and then turned the topic back to Ke.
"It's weird? Where?" Lu Xingshi asked in confusion. He knew there was something wrong with him, but how could an eight-year-old man see it?
"I feel like he wants to kill me." Wu hesitated and expressed his thoughts.
This made Lu Xingshi frown. He could only say this when he was far away from the Tongshu tribe, and it was only when Lu Xingshi was alone. Otherwise, in the tribe, he would just treat it as an accident.
"He wants to kill you? You shouldn't. You haven't offended him."
"Do you have any ideas?" Lu Xingshi continued to ask.
Although Ke was withdrawn, he was not bullied. The other party was too disappointing, and no one came to play with him anymore, and they gradually ignored him.
It's not that everyone hasn't looked for them, but he doesn't want to contact them, so what else can he do? You can't put a hot face on a cold butt.
Furthermore, life is indeed less when you are underage, but it is not impossible. No one wants to play with an indifferent person after finishing their work.
It’s not like I owe him anything.
As time went by, Ke became more and more withdrawn.
As for the adults in the tribe? They live longer, and the entire tribe is in a state of herding. For the livelihood of the entire tribe, there is no time to take care of these things.
"No, it's just a feeling." Wu said awkwardly. He really had no clues or evidence, not even an idea.
"Then just ignore him. You can't just do something just because you feel it." Lu Xingshi smiled.
He didn't tell the truth. Wo's perception was really sharp and he was able to detect Ke's malicious intent.
Lu Xingshi suspected that Ke might have intercepted Hu's opportunity, and the opportunity was not small, so he was worried about leaking it, so he had malicious intentions.
Preliminary speculation is that Ke has obtained the qualifications of a shaman. This opportunity may have been cowardly.
But since he has it and can't take it out now, it is naturally impossible for Lu Xingshi to break up with Ke because of something like this that has no evidence to support it.
If you really want to talk about it, it is actually a myth.
"Yes, maybe it's my misunderstanding."
"I had this feeling just after I awakened my bloodline, and then gradually disappeared." When Wu Xingshi heard what Lu Xingshi said, he felt a knot in his heart, but he also put down some thoughts.
The two soon left the hunting range of the Bronze Tree Tribe. After leaving here, everything was unknown.
They have never left. In fact, most people in the tribe have never left the Bronze Tree Tribe and the hunting range. Their understanding of everything depends on this.
There is no way to solve their livelihood, and it is impossible to think about poetry and distant places. Filling their stomachs and filling their granaries are the things they have to consider.
Before taking two steps, Lu Xingshi stopped suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Wo asked confused.
Lu Xingshi did not answer, his eyes fell on the roots of the trees exposed above the soil.
"The root of the tree is empty." Lu Xingshi said, squatting down and pulling it away. Only a layer of bark remained on the originally raised root, which was empty inside, as if it had been completely eaten away by something.
"This thing only eats tree roots."
After checking several more trees, Lu Xingshi came to a conclusion.
"What kind of ferocious beast is this? Why is it so ferocious?" Sloya was a little unbelievable.
"It must be an insect. I suspect that the other eye of the blood copper beetle female was probably blinded by this insect beast." Lu Xingshi responded and picked up the remaining tree roots. Pi looked carefully. It can be seen that there are some kind of bite marks on it.
"No, no..." Lu Xingshi overturned again.
This is not a ferocious insect beast, but a group of ferocious insect beasts, small in size but extremely numerous in number.
Just now he thought it was a larva eating and growing, but now it seemed that was not the case, more like a locust passing through.
However, compared to locusts, the diet of this group of ferocious insect beasts is extremely limited. They will only choose to eat tree roots instead of eating trees.
"The good news is that these ferocious insect beasts left our tribe's hunting area and did not enter the tribe's territory."
Lu Xingshi calculated based on the trace data formed by many tree roots that this group of insect-like ferocious beasts had been away for some time, and there was no Bronze Tree tribe in their route.
"Then should we remind him?" Wu said worriedly.
"No, we have already left anyway, there is no need for us to go back." Lu Xingshi responded.
It's already happened, why remind me? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to have to fight against the air?
"It won't be too late to wait until we get back from the Fire Bronze Tribe. It's not a big deal anyway."
"Even if you meet another one, don't worry too much. These unknown insect-like beasts will most likely only eat tree roots."
"If you really eat meat, you won't even see the bones of other ferocious beasts. You can't eat all the bones."
"And in terms of hunting, there have been no problems these days, which shows that the number of ferocious beasts in the hunting area has not decreased." Lu Xingshi came to a conclusion based on the existing data on hand.
"Lu, what if these ferocious beasts are going around the forest to devour them, and we just didn't meet them." Wo said worriedly.
When Lu Xingshi heard this, he also fell silent.
"That doesn't allow us to walk around the hunting area for as long as it takes..."
"You and I can handle it, but not the blood copper beetle larvae." Lu Xingshi also noticed the clues, but the problem is that it can't be solved unless we turn back now.
What's more, it's not just the larvae of the blood copper beetles that can't wait, but also the top-grade fire essence copper of the fire copper tribe. If he goes too late and is eaten by others, Lu Xingshi will suffer a big loss.
"Okay, let's wait until we get back." Wo did not continue to argue with Lu Xingshi. As Lu Xingshi said, if he doesn't eat people, what can happen to him, and he hasn't entered the hunting area, so the impact is small and can be ignored.
Otherwise, to be more serious, there are all kinds of unknowns not only outside the hunting area, but also inside the hunting area, and everyone is just muddle along.
However, Lu Xingshi said it didn't matter, but he remembered the matter in his heart, and it would not be too late to investigate again when he comes back next time.
"Let's go, let's go back quickly, don't delay on the way."
After realizing the strangeness, Lu Xingshi didn't have many thoughts of walking slowly, he just wanted to make a quick decision to avoid any accidents.
Wo naturally had no objection, but as soon as Lu Xingshi started running, he almost failed to keep up.
"It is indeed a perfect concentration of bronze bloodline, and the ability of the bloodline to accompany it is indeed extraordinary." Wu followed with emotion.
Comparing his bronze bloodline with Lu Xingshi's, it was simply insignificant. You must know that Lu Xingshi had only guided the bloodline through totem once, and it was already the third time for him, and the result was still such a big gap.
…
"Top-grade fire essence copper..." Ke gritted his teeth. When he heard that Hui had arranged for Lu and Wu to go to the fire copper tribe to exchange blood copper beetle larvae for fire essence copper, his face turned very ugly.
He naturally knew about this, and he caused a fuss in his previous life. Later, this piece of top-grade fire essence copper disappeared without a trace. It is said that it was intercepted by people from the Silver Court, and later returned to the hands of the Bronze Court. .
However, now, it will be taken away before any commotion occurs, and there will definitely be no follow-up.
"But counting the time, Baiji should have finished the first wave of eating and started to sleep."
"The Black Disaster may have been dormant underground..."
Thinking of this, he was frightened. The two disasters, black and white, were the culprits that destroyed the Tongshu tribe.
The Black Disaster is a huge ferocious beast underground, while the White Disaster is a swarm of insects that are only as big as a thumb.
These two major disasters not only destroyed the Bronze Tree Tribe, but also destroyed many surrounding tribes. However, the Bronze Tree Tribe was the first to be destroyed. Later, it even severely damaged the Bronze Royal Court. If the Bronze Royal Court had not defeated the two gold and silver tribes at that time, In the Great Royal Court, otherwise the victory or defeat will still be unknown.
"There is still time. I hope Lu will come back with the top-grade Fire Essence Copper instead of eating it on the way." A flash of light appeared in Ke's eyes. At that time, he would directly take away the Fire Essence Copper and leave the Copper Tree Tribe.
For this top-grade fire essence copper, it is worth leaving the tribe early.
As for being eaten, then...he couldn't do anything about it.
This piece of top-grade fire essence copper was actually within the scope of his plan, but he did not expect that Lu Xingshi would have such a coincidence and Hui would help, which disrupted his plan.
He didn't even have time to react, so he just missed it.
