Chapter 8: What an Ugly Totem

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the witness of the two tribes, Rong inherited the position of leader.

After killing a few beasts to celebrate,

The family of four returned to the tribal totem clan.

At night.

As usual, the boy brought a live fish and fused with the family of four before arriving at the stone house with Su Mu’s stone statue.

He pushed open the door.

A weak flame burned.

Behind the flame was Su Mu’s stone statue. Compared to before, it had changed a little.

An irregular stone egg appeared beside his feet…

This time, Rong had personally killed the big fish.

Xi replaced her mother and chanted the sacrificial words that had been passed down in the Fire Tribe for two years.

It had only been two years.

The boy and girl’s faces were old, and a sense of lifelessness spread from them.

According to the average age of the first era, the boy and the girl should be in their prime.

They would not be as lifeless as they were now. They could not even be bothered to open their eyes.

The reason was that in the past two years, the two of them had suffered different injuries, speeding up their aging.

“Lord Totem…”

Xi whispered piously according to the sacrificial words the girl had given her.

The blood of the big fish in her hand dripped onto the flame.

It made the flames burn brighter.

…

Su Mu, who was cultivating in the Water Curtain Cave, heard intermittent prayers again.

[Cultivation time of the Five Elements Breathing Technique -1 day.]

Seeing that the Five Elements Breathing Technique had been reduced by a day, Su Mu did not even look up and quickly replied,

“Alright, alright, alright.”

The black egg beside his feet twisted its body when it heard Su Mu’s words.

It seemed to be sleeping and was unhappy that Su Mu’s voice had disturbed him.

“Lazy dog!”

After cursing softly, Su Mu continued to comprehend the Five Elements Breathing Technique.

The more Su Mu cultivated the Five Elements Breathing Technique, the more profound he felt his breathing technique was.

He was like an addict and wished he could spend 24 hours a day cultivating the Five Elements Breathing Technique.

In his crazy state, his understanding of the theory of the Five Elements Breathing Technique increased quickly.

Every day was a new beginning for Su Mu.

…

It was another winter.

Su Mu stood on the side of the waterfall with the black egg beside him.

Although the cold winter would not freeze the waterfall, the bone-piercing coldness assaulted his face.

“Water Element Breathing Technique…”

Su Mu muttered to himself and sensed the water elements in the winter river.

The calm water element aura on his body could not help but spread.

It condensed into a water element mini person beside him…

The black egg beside his feet rolled comfortably and then lay on Su Mu’s feet.

The water elements on Su Mu’s body would also wash over the black egg.

The black egg…

It was even darker!

…

On the shore of the lake.

On the shore of the lake, the boy and girl who needed to support each other to stand silently watched the magical change in Su Mu.

“Lord Totem, you’ve really not changed at all in the past few years.”

“Ahem, Lord Totem is different from us…”

“I seem to have sensed the summoning of Lord Totem…”

“Ahem… summoning?”

As soon as they finished speaking, the boy and the girl looked at each other.

Their eyes were calm. The two of them knew that this was a sign of death.

However…

Even if it was a threat of death, to them, this seemed to be an ordinary matter. It was not even as important as starting a fire and roasting meat.

After comprehending the water element for two hours, Su Mu’s figure flashed and disappeared.

He headed to the north side of the Water Curtain Cave. The Fire Tribe had not appeared for a long time, and he was uneasy.

After Su Mu left, the boy and girl supported each other to the wooden house where Su Mu’s stone statue was placed.

The two of them sat in front of the stone statue, and time seemed to be rewinding bit by bit.

The girl seemed to have seen the heroic figure of the totem lord who saved her back then.

The boy also smiled, as if he could see the scene of Lord Totem saving him.

The flame became weaker and weaker.

It shone on the two of them as they smiled.

A faint snore sounded.

They sat side by side and fell asleep.

…

On the north side.

Su Mu and the black egg ran for about ten hours.

He finally saw a tribe.

With Su Mu’s current leg strength, he was at least a few hundred kilometers away in ten hours.

This tribe totem was in the shape of a tree…

The totem was stationed in the center of the tribe, about a hundred meters tall.

At the entrance of the tribe, roars sounded continuously.

This “Tree Tribe” was being attacked by others.

The attacking party was wearing animal skin that exposed their upper bodies. There was a uniform totem pattern on their backs…

It was an irregular circle.

Su Mu looked at the totem on those people and then at the black egg beside his feet.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was similar.

He could not help but ask, “Is this your brother’s tribe?

“This totem is actually as ugly as you.”

Bang!

The black egg suddenly collided with Su Mu’s calf. Su Mu had long predicted the black egg’s actions and circulated the Metal Element Breathing Technique in advance.

The collision of the black egg made a metallic sound.

The black egg did not give up.

It began to accumulate strength on the spot, prepared to continue charging at Su Mu’s calf…

“A set of five elements!”

Su Mu did not even look at the black egg. He stretched out four fingers and placed them in front of the black egg…

The black egg that was accumulating strength stopped, as if it was thinking about the choice.

A moment later.

The black egg chose to submit.

It stuck to Su Mu’s feet again, indicating that Su Mu had won this battle again.

At the entrance of the tribe, the battle continued.

From time to time, someone’s head would be severed or their limbs would be smashed.

The injured tribal warriors gritted their teeth and did not roar loudly to vent their pain.

Instead, their eyes were red as they looked at the other party even more fiercely.

Behind him, Su Mu watched for a while and knew the outcome.

The Tree Tribe was doomed today.

On the attacker’s side, there were four people who had mastered the five elements… To be precise, there were four people who had mastered the fire element.

On the other hand, only one person in the Tree Tribe had grasped the wood attribute.

The defeat of the Tree Tribe was only a matter of time.

Su Mu had been calm and did not choose to attack.

It was not that he was cold.

Instead, he was just following the law of the jungle.

More importantly…

Su Mu was afraid of trouble…

He was afraid that after he attacked, the tribe he saved would stick to him.

A tribe had suddenly appeared. Just the thought of such a dangerous and uncertain factor was very terrifying…

Therefore…

Standing by and watching was the best choice for a tribal conflict.

Pfft!

The only warrior of the Tree Tribe who had mastered the wood element had his head cut off by the enemy.

Level 10…

He died in front of Su Mu just like that…

Unlike the trip to the Silent Plain, he had personally seen a level 10 tribe member killed this time.

“Kill!”

“Avenge Warrior Sanji!”

The death of the number one expert did not destroy the tribe’s morale.

Instead, it made them even more ferocious.

This was how tribesmen acted.

Su Mu watched the battle clearly…

As he watched, he secretly learned their combat methods.

“Kill!”

“Let them see the might of our Fire Tribe!”
