Chapter 213 The Secret of Totem, Herd of Beasts
On the soil of Dongyuan Realm, there are no gods, no incense and gods.
For Chu Zheng, this is undoubtedly an excellent soil for spreading the seeds of his own beliefs.
This world, nine regions and thirteen wildernesses, is vast enough. Even if the human race only occupies a quarter of the area, it still has a population of no less than the Cangyun Realm, hundreds of billions.
If he could become the only true god in this world and capture all the faith in the world, then Chu Zheng's cultivation would reach an extremely terrifying level.
However, the absence of the proliferation of incense spirits means that the human race in this world does not believe in the existence of spirits at all.
In a group of people who have no concept of gods, it is much more difficult to spread the faith of a god than to compete for believers.
In this case, it is a relatively simple method to first build a strong enough reputation, then shape myths and legends, and create gods after death.
However, the specific situation can only be made after he deepens his understanding of Dongyuan Realm.
While Chu Zheng was meditating, subtle spiritual energy poured in from his back and limbs, like a trickle, flowing into his limbs and bones, warming his body.
Chu Zheng's eyes instantly condensed and he took off the clothes on his upper body. At this moment, his spiritual thoughts were bound by the physical body and he couldn't see what was behind him. However, judging from the patterns on his limbs, there should be a totem of a strange beast imprinted on him. on the back.
Four scaly claws were attached to his limbs. They were blood-colored and exuded a fierce aura.
After feeling it carefully for a moment, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. The totem behind it could absorb the spiritual energy on its own and help him practice. There was no need to spend time doing the exercises. The totem could directly deliver the spiritual energy to his limbs. Hundreds of skeletons.
This kind of practice is really amazing.
If it can be superimposed with other Taoist traditions, it is equivalent to adding a clone to yourself that is practicing all the time. Over time, it will create an astonishing distance from other monks.
For example, this body now is four years old. Although it is not skilled in cultivation, it has been nourished by this totem for four years and its strength is already amazing. It can weigh at least two or three thousand kilograms.
It seems that we must find a way to solve the secret of this totem.
The remaining clouds looked like blood, and falcons devouring carrion hung in the sky. Chu Zheng stood up and looked around. As far as he could see, there were blood-stained corpses everywhere.
Judging from some of the information he learned during his previous soul wandering, Dongyuan Realm does not have an established national dynasty, but is divided into tribes.
In the tribe, there are strong and weak, which is closely related to the totem, but I don’t know which level the totem on his back belongs to.
"唳——"
A scream came from the sky, and a black shadow spanning more than ten feet fell from the sky, setting off a majestic wave of air.
A dark divine bird landed in front of Chu Zheng, with several figures standing on the back of the divine bird.
Looking at Chu Zheng, who was standing naked, there were several exclamations mixed with joy:
“There is a child!”
"There are still people alive!"
[Underworld Eagle (Level 4): A ferocious bird that wanders on the border of death, accustomed to moving in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and is riddled with the aura of death. 】
Chu Zheng’s gaze swept across the dark divine bird and several human figures, his eyes flickering slightly.
The ferocious bird is equivalent to the Divine Infant Monk. There is no one standing on its back whose strength is lower than the fourth level.
Several people immediately dispersed, alerting the surroundings, and at the same time began to search for other survivors.
A tall man, nearly ten feet tall, suddenly stepped forward, picked up Chu Zheng, and looked at his back.
In the information given by the spiritual eye, this person’s name is ‘Lie’, and his strength has reached the fifth level.
In some small tribes, there are no surnames, only single names, and surnames are something only large tribes have.
Only the population of a large tribe can exceed the limit of a single word and require more names as pronouns.
Rough palms rubbed Chu Zheng’s back for a moment, Lie was silent for a moment, and sighed softly:
"Not a child from the tribe."
Before he finished speaking, several people who had dispersed turned around one after another, their eyes darkened slightly, and they shook their heads:
"Except for this child, there is no one left alive. "
Among the bones in that place are probably all the relatives of this child.
"Lucky boy, it seems that the spirits of the tribe are blessing you. Which tribe are you from? What is your name?"
Lie held up Chu Zheng with one hand, his face covered with beard, which made Chu Zheng feel a little uncomfortable.
"The tribe... doesn't know."
Hesitating slightly, Chu Zheng shook his head, and then said: "My name is Zhengchu."
This time incarnation, He is no longer prepared to endure calamity, but to pave the way for incense and the divine path.
Currently, the growth of the body's Qi refining cultivation has entered a gentle period. Without extra power to interfere, it is difficult to make great progress. There is not much calamity energy around the body, so there is no need to rush to resolve the calamity.
"Zhengchu..."
Hearing this name, the people around him all showed strange expressions.
Just the fact that it has two characters as its name makes it a large tribe.
“Forget it, take it back first. We are all from the human race. If we can help, we will help.”
Lie whispered, holding Chu Zheng in his hand, and stepped onto the Ming Diao. The strong death evil The energy rushed to his face and even began to corrode Chu Zheng's body.
Before Chu Zheng could make a move, Lie squeezed out a little blood from his fingertips and dripped it on Chu Zheng's back.
In an instant, there was a burning sensation on his back, and the totem behind him seemed to come to life. His scales opened slightly, exuding a burst of blazing warmth, dispelling the evil spirit of death.
This is obviously another wonderful use of the power of the totem. The totem seems to have become a protective magic weapon at this moment, using Lie's blood as energy and starting to operate.
This is somewhat similar to the magic circle. The totem pattern may be understood as the same type of thing as the formation pattern.
While Chu Zheng was pondering over the totem, the eagle suddenly began to swoop down and flew straight to the ground.
On the earth, dust and smoke filled the sky, and groups of wild beasts roared, as harsh as thunder.
This group of wild beasts belong to the same species. They are covered with gorgeous three-color long feathers and crawl on thick and powerful limbs. They look like lizards, with sharp teeth criss-crossing in their short and wide mouths.
"After catching this group of three-color land fish, we will return to the tribe first."
He shouted loudly, threw a blood-colored divine bead, settled in the air, and then moved like a dragon's back , reflecting a burst of divine light, a black mist snaked down along the thick arm, and rushed to the back of the hand in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, a pitch-black sharp claw poked out, rising in the wind, spanning more than a thousand feet, like a sacred mountain, and fell straight down.
boom!
A gap was created in the beast group, bones and flesh were scattered everywhere, and blood mist flew into the air, and was directly absorbed by the bloody divine bead without wasting any of it.
The other people also took action one after another, spread out, surrounded the entire herd, retreated with one blow, and began to gradually encroach.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng quickly reacted. Lie and his party went out for hunting. When they met him, they suddenly decided to change their itinerary.
The cooperation between these people is extremely smooth, and there is no sense of stagnation. It is expected that the time to act together is not short.
The herd consisting of tens of thousands of wild beasts was strangled to death in just an hour, and their blood flowed for thousands of miles.
Lie and the others did not collect the bones or flesh of the corpse, but only absorbed the blood with the blood-colored divine beads. The remains, whose blood and energy had been extracted, had lost all their luster and had been drained of all their essence.
The dark eagle let out a burst of excited screams, lingering in the sky, absorbing the deathly evil spirit gradually pouring out of the field, and its dark feathers became increasingly shiny.
The speed at which these people cleaned up the battlefield was astonishing. After less than half an hour, there was no smell of blood in the air, and only withered bones were left.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Lie took a group of people and embarked on the return journey.
…………
…………
After three days and nights of driving, Chu Zheng just saw a tribe in front of him.
It was noon, and smoke was already curling up in the tribe.
Chu Zheng glanced at it and saw the end of the tribe. Judging from the bluestone houses inside, the population was only a few thousand at most.
Chu Zheng was held by Lie's hand and walked into a bluestone hall.
The smell in the temple is very strange. There are many shelves, on which are placed some animal skins and bones that are being processed, as well as some collected herbs.
There was only one person in the hall, a white-haired old woman with a stooped back and a cane, wearing a wide animal skin robe.
There are many pockets sewn on the robe, filled with small things, the purpose of which is unclear.
"Witch."
Lie Xing went to the old woman, knelt down on one knee and saluted, held Chu Zheng in both hands, brought it to the old woman, and explained:
"This child's name is In Zhengchu, he was picked up by wild beasts while hunting, and he was the only one who survived."
"Zhengchu?"
The old woman murmured without looking at the person behind Chu Zheng. Totem, casually pulled out a piece of animal skin and wrapped Chu Zheng, who was naked all the way:
"Since being saved by you is fate, then just stay. The tribe lacks fresh blood, and maybe it can give the tribe one more totem choice."
"Understood, Wu, then I will first He took it home and kept it. "
Lie immediately nodded and agreed. That was what he meant. Immediately, he picked up Chu Zheng and was about to walk out of the palace when he heard Wu's voice behind him. Voice:
"In a few days, you ask Ying to come to my place to continue the Qing Dynasty. I can't hold it anymore. I need new people to take over the responsibilities of guarding the witches. This is all for the tribe. After all, I need someone. Sacrifice."
Hearing this, Lie paused for a long time before nodding:
"Okay."
…………
…………
This tribe is called ‘Wangshan’ because it is not far from the tribe’s residence. , there is a sacred mountain.
The original Wangshan tribe relied on the spiritual springs and various fruits in this sacred mountain to inherit and multiply.
Chu Zheng followed Lie on the way home. The people who came and went along the way were all wearing animal skins, without any robes or cloth clothing.
No one is willing to spend time on appearance until survival is guaranteed.
Soon, Chu Zheng arrived at Lie's home, a green brick house that was not very tall and spacious.
“Ying.”
Lie called out loudly.
Squeak——
With a soft sound, the door opened, and a girl who was no more than seven or eight years old ran out of it. She was also wearing rough animal skins and hugged Lie's leg, with a happy face. :
“Father!”
Lie smiled faintly, his eyes dimming slightly.
Ying soon discovered Chu Zheng and was a little surprised: "Whose child is this?"
Lie put down Chu Zheng in his hand and said slowly: "His name is Zhengchu. From today on, he will be your younger brother."
"Brother? Ying has a younger brother?"
The smile on Ying's face became even bigger, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to pinch Chu Zheng's face: "Call me sister."
Chu Zheng fell into silence. Once in contact, he discovered something special. Here, Ying's body is extremely weak, no different from that of an ordinary mortal child, and her hands cannot bind a chicken.
This means that there is no totem carved on Ying's body, which may be related to the previous witch.
Lie casually threw Chu Zheng to Ying, stepped straight into the courtyard, took off his shirt, and started to get water to take a shower.
Chu Zheng’s eyes were immediately attracted by Lie.
On the broad back is carved a strange beast that Chu Zheng did not recognize. It has a single horn on its head. It looks a bit like a dragon, but its body has no scales. It is as bright as a loach. It has only one claw and holds a pill in its mouth. beads.
[Strength (Level 5): The body is possessed by animal spirits, has taken animal blood for a long time, and has blood evil in the body. 】
Perhaps there is too little information about totems. Even with spiritual eyes, there is very little information that can be obtained at once.
The word "beast spirit" gave him some ideas.
Before Chu Zheng could take a closer look, Ying couldn't wait to pull Chu Zheng into the door, and began to look for animal skins in the house. At the same time, she assessed Chu Zheng's figure and wanted to get him something that would fit him. Clothing.
There is a half-person tall bronze mirror in the room. Relying on this mirror, Chu Zheng finally saw clearly the appearance of the totem behind him.
At first glance, it looks similar to a unicorn, but it lacks antlers and the beast's pupils are blood red.
Chu Zheng tried to communicate with the totem, and soon the totem responded. A strange light appeared in the beast's pupils, and its scales trembled faintly, as if it was about to revive.
The amount of Qi in his body skyrocketed, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was also much faster.
However, after only maintaining a few breaths, Chu Zheng had to stop his movements. He was sweating profusely and his body was short of energy and urgently needed to be replenished.
Obviously, his strength is not enough to activate the totem on his body like Lie.
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than two months since Chu Zheng came to Wangshan tribe.
He has been practicing the Treasure Record of Eternal Tribulation. He is not far away from the Hundred Days Spirit Transformation, and his strength is increasing day by day.
At the same time, during this period of time, he finally gained some understanding of totems.
In Dongyuan Realm, totems are divided into four levels. First-class totems are basically in the hands of large tribes. Among the many totems of the Wangshan tribe, the best ones are only third-class.
Totems have spirits. Plants, trees, spirits, monsters, mountains, rocks, lakes and seas can all be used as totems. There is a big difference in the strength of them.
The totems of most tribes are of the lowest kind. Facing low-level wild beasts, they are also in danger and may be in danger of destruction at any time. They need to rely on a large number of vegetation and fruits instead of hunting for a living.
As for the totem on his back, Chu Zheng asked Lie several times, but did not get an accurate answer. However, it should be at least a second-class existence, higher than Lie, or higher than Wang. Hill tribe.
