Chapter 14: The Tribe Can’t Lose Their Leader

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

No matter how much Xi shouted, Rong did not react.

The fact that he could run back was already because of his huge luck.

It was not until he saw Xi that he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground…

In the stone house.

Li and Man, who were originally weak, suddenly rushed out of the stone house as if they had regained their strength.

With just a glance, they saw Rong’s tragic state.

At this moment, Rong was like a broken drum that was filled with leaks.

Without any hesitation, they picked Rong up and rushed towards the stone house of Su Mu’s totem stone statue.

Li arrived at the lake and stabbed her arm into the water like an arrow. When she retracted her hand, she was holding a fat big fish.

Li and Man hurriedly entered Su Mu’s totem stone house.

Seeing this, Xi could not care less about being surprised by her parents’ state and hurriedly followed behind them, rushing into the stone house.

All of this took less than a minute.

In the stone house.

The big fish was bleeding.

Li knelt on the ground and prayed piously to Su Mu’s stone statue.

According to the experience passed down by his predecessors, Man used the bone knife to bleed his wrist and aimed it at Rong’s mouth.

Blood kept flowing out of his wrist and into Rong’s mouth…

In just a few breaths, his face was incomparably pale.

When Xi saw this scene, she could not bear to see her father in such a miserable state and wanted to go up and dissuade him.

However, she was stopped by Li…

“Xi, the Fire Tribe can’t lose its leader!”

Xi stood rooted to the ground and watched helplessly as Man’s face gradually lost color.

After the blood entered Rong’s body, his injuries were actually healing bit by bit.

However…

However, Man could not last any longer…

He looked at Rong’s injuries and finally smiled weakly at Xi…

His body slowly fell to the ground, and there was still a worried expression on his face.

“In the year 00073 of the God Advent Calendar, the founder of the Fire Tribe, Man,… passed away after saving the leader of the Fire Tribe!”

Xi sobbed silently in joy, and tears welled up from the corner of her eyes…

At this moment, she felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on her chest, making her unable to breathe…

“Xi, don’t cry.

“Your father went to serve Lord Totem.”

Li reached out to wipe the tears off Xi’s face and patted her back a few times, in the same way she comforted Xi after Xi was bullied by Rong when she was young.

After taking a good look at Xi’s appearance, Li arrived beside Man. She pulled out the bone knife from his tightly clenched hand and slashed it on her wrist.

Bright red hot blood surged out and entered Rong’s mouth.

Xi covered her mouth and stretched out her right hand helplessly to Li.

What greeted her was a beautiful and somewhat serious face…

“Xi, the tribe can’t lose its leader!”

Xi could not put down her right hand. She sat on the ground and watched as Li’s face turned pale bit by bit.

Rong’s injuries recovered bit by bit…

It was as if it was destined.

When Li’s body fell to the ground, the injuries on Rong’s body recovered, and his breathing became even.

Li’s corpse was piled up with Man’s corpse. Li’s face was filled with worry, but she was smiling.

“In the year 00073 of the God Advent Calendar, the first priest of the Fire Tribe, Li… passed away after saving the leader of the Fire Tribe!

The second priest Xi became estranged from the leader. For the first time, she had doubts about the leader.”

In the forum, the Fire Tribe’s side mission was updated…

This time, the information directly appeared in the players’ discussion panel.

Many people skipped it after taking a look.

They sighed and were in awe of the amount of fillers.

Some people would also wonder what kind of rescue method would cause two people to die at the same time.

However, as soon as this thought appeared, they quickly forgot about it. They did not remember to study the use of the Fire Element Breathing Technique at all.

…

At the original location of the Tree Tribe.

When Su Mu arrived, he discovered that this place had already been occupied by another unfamiliar tribe.

Those corpses were thrown into the forest outside the tribe by this newly occupied tribe.

This was unreasonable and was not according to the tradition of the tribe. This made Su Mu very suspicious if this group of people had come from outside the forest.

It was better to avoid trouble.

Su Mu quietly arrived beside the corpse. After quietly touching the corpse, he quietly left.

He had obtained a lot of cultivation technique fragments.

[Strength (1) -3.]

…

[Water Element (2) -4.]

[Longevity Breathing Technique: 100% / 100%.]

[Received Longevity Breathing Technique (intermediate level A+)]

[Longevity Breathing Technique: Cultivate for a year and increase your lifespan by ten years. Cultivate for ten years and increase your lifespan by fifty years. Cultivate for fifty years and increase your lifespan by two hundred years. Cultivate for two hundred years and increase your lifespan by a thousand years. Cultivate for five hundred years and increase your lifespan by five thousand years.]

After seeing the effect of the Longevity Breathing Technique, Su Mu heaved a sigh of relief.

The problem of Li and Man’s lifespan seemed to have been resolved.

The maximum lifespan could be increased by 5,000 years. In this world where the average lifespan was only 30 years, it was equivalent to longevity!

Su Mu returned to the Water Curtain Cave faster. With this cultivation technique, his chefs would be able to serve him for a longer time.

…

Rong woke up five minutes after Li and Man died.

What welcomed him was a pair of eyes filled with hatred.

Although Rong was unconscious, he knew everything about the outside world.

When Li and Man’s blood entered his abdomen, it was as if they had paved a bright path for him in the darkness.

“Soaring Bull Tribe!

“I will definitely take revenge!”

His eyes were filled with hatred.

The arrival of the Soaring Bull Tribe crushed the confidence he had always been proud of.

However, now was not the time to consider this…

Rong struggled to get up and arrived outside the stone house.

He found a place with the back of Su Mu’s stone statue.

He followed the instructions Su Mu had once passed down and used his hands to dig the soil on the ground.

After a while, a deep pit appeared.

He returned to the stone house and carefully carried Li and Man’s corpses into the deep pit.

Then, he began to bury them with soil.

Xi watched Rong’s actions the entire time. She did not help and did not make a sound. A trace of confusion appeared in her hateful eyes.

She did not know what she should do in the future.

Should he continue to be the priest of the Fire Tribe?

After thinking for a moment, Xi understood.

She still had to be a priest. Only when she was a priest could she ask about her parents’ recent situation…

After figuring it out, Xi arrived at the deep pit and helped Rong bury her parents.

Although she did not understand why Lord Totem wanted them to dig a hole and bury the corpses after death, her education had always told her that Lord Totem was right.

…

When Su Mu returned happily, he saw a new mound on the ground.

This was also the first time he had seen what was inside the stone house that he had never taken the initiative to explore.

Li and Man’s aura had already dissipated, leaving only a trace of it under the soil.

He stood in front of the stone house.

Seeing Rong and Xi bury the deep pit, the joy he originally felt after obtaining the Longevity Breathing Technique also dissipated at this moment…

“Goodbye, old friends.”
