Chapter 504 Awakening, Perfect Bronze Bloodline

"Good boy, you actually captured the venomous flying dragon alive as a sacrifice." The witch of the Bronze Tree Tribe, a burly old man named Hui, had a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

No one was jealous of this. After all, Lu Xingshi wanted to become a wizard and would not compete with them for the position of chief.

The chieftainship is not a hereditary system, but whoever is the strongest will become the new chief.

The actual leader is the witch, and the chief is more like a thug.

Of course, the reason why everyone wants to become a chief is not because of power. The power in this era is not so obvious. It is to demonstrate one's military strength and get better treatment, which is probably spiritual and material satisfaction.

Becoming a chief means you can get a larger share when food is distributed.

"Let me go, and I will provide you with secrets from afar." The Venom Dragon roared.

However, no one paid any attention to it. What's the point of keeping a secret from afar? It can't be eaten.

"Go, offer sacrifices to the totem and awaken your bloodline." Hui said.

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi dragged the Venom Dragon and threw it directly in front of the altar. The huge copper tree, which was the totem of the Copper Tree Tribe, made Lu Xingshi feel a little shocked.

"Isn't this the bronze sacred tree from Sanxingdui? This thing is too outrageous." Lu Xingshi complained.

In fact, he already understood that the bronze bloodline in his body was not a level, and it would not evolve into silver, gold, diamond or other bloodlines.

However, there should be silver bloodlines and gold bloodlines, probably some kind of similar species or varieties.

It would be better to use the skulls of ferocious beasts and enemies instead of these two precious metals for decoration.

Just like this witch, the hat on his head is made of the skull of some ferocious beast, and the fur on his body is peeled off from the bodies of powerful ferocious beasts.

Adding all the pieces together, this mess of decorations on the body can be said to represent the death of hundreds of ferocious beasts.

The witch is not a weak wizard, but has a powerful strength that is not inferior to that of a totem warrior.

"Ah...you guys..."

A layer of bronze texture appeared on the body of the Venom Dragon, and branches made of bronze grew out of it.

It then began to soften and collapse, and finally turned into a tree-like light that sank into Lu Xingshi's body.

The blood hidden deep inside the body began to boil, and a bronze-like texture covered Lu Xingshi's skin, emitting a glow.

Everyone was whispering to each other when they saw this scene.

Hui's eyes were filled with shock: "The bronze bloodline is so perfect. Lu is simply a natural born witch."

His mumblings fell into the ears of everyone and caused a stir again.

"It seems that he should be able to obtain a natural bloodline ability, good and good."

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 improved slowly.

As for the Venom Dragon, it serves as nourishment for Lu Xingshi to awaken his bloodline.

In addition to this, he also gained an ability that appeared very rough and primitive in his eyes. Although he was able to grow, his upper limit and potential were very limited.

The ability has no name, and its effect is to be able to swallow bronze to strengthen one's body.

After growing to its upper limit, it can use the remaining bronze in its body to cover its entire body, giving itself an extra layer of protection.

"How is it, what bloodline ability did you gain?"

After Lu Xingshi completed his bloodline awakening, Hui rushed over to ask.

Lu Xingshi was not surprised why the other party knew this, it was not just him who could awaken the bloodline ability. In addition to Hui who was a witch, Li who was the tribal chief was also able to awaken the bloodline ability. And then there were the remaining few people who also awakened the bloodline ability.

"The ability is probably..." Lu Xingshi did not hide anything and told it all.

This rough and primitive bloodline ability must be improved, even if it is spread out.

What they knew was the first version. By the time Lu Xingshi really fought, this bloodline ability was already many versions away, and it had already changed drastically and no one knew what it was like.

"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, what a pity, you can only become a witch." The current chief Li on the side said happily.

The witch's power does not affect him as the chief, but instead can bring greater benefits to the tribe.

"Okay, let's disperse. Come with me." Hui asked all the people in the tribe to disperse, and then he took Lu Xingshi into the witch's tent.

"I will ask Li to build a tent for you, and you can live in the tent like me."

"Next, I will teach you everything you need to know as a witch." Hui began to explain to Lu Xingshi what Lu Xingshi needed to learn.

You need to learn herbs, medicine, divination, weather, farming, etc.

There are even written words, but no matter which subject, they are actually very primitive and contain many errors and omissions. However, Lu Xingshi does not care.

The long-standing tradition probably refers to the witch's knowledge.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Lu Xingshi grows up successfully, the Tongshu Tribe will be able to have a second witch.

It's not like there can only be one witch like there is a chief.

Moreover, 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.

The witch uses blood to control the totem to gain the ability to cast spells.

Totem warriors use totems to guide the stimulation of their bloodlines and gain a strong physique and will.

Therefore, as long as a totem warrior completes the coming-of-age ceremony, he can use the totem to become a powerful warrior, but a witch cannot do that. He needs corresponding qualifications to be able to master and control the totem.

This is an innate talent. There are ways to acquire the qualifications to become a witch, but the possibility of such a thing happening is so low that it can be ignored.

After listening to this, Lu Xingshi understood that this should be considered the predecessor of cultivation. Whether it is the bloodline controlling the totem or the totem guiding the bloodline, in essence, one cannot interfere and can only grow passively 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 a gun but not knowing its manufacturing and principles.

However, if it is developed in depth, it is indeed possible to have the ability to control totems.

In Lu Xingshi's opinion, there is a deep contradiction between witches and totem warriors.

Once a witch is able to truly master the totem, then the totem will become the witch's property. All totem warriors who need the totem to guide the growth of their bloodline will either be controlled by the witch or will not be able to become stronger without the totem.

As for the totem, it is the patron saint of the tribe. It has no self or intelligence, but has special abilities generated through worship. Of course, the materials needed to make a totem are not simple.

However, at this stage, both the witch and the totem warrior still complement each other, and the totem warrior needs the guidance and assistance of the witch.

For example, totem spells.

"What would happen if I control the totem through my blood and use the totem to guide my blood?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

"Of course it's someone who possesses both the magic of a witch and the strong physique and will of a totem warrior." Hui looked at Lu Xingshi strangely.

"Can we practice together?" Lu Xingshi was a little surprised. He thought they were incompatible, but he didn't expect that they could practice together.

"Of course not. Shamans can do both, but totem warriors don't have the qualifications. They can't control the totem. They can only choose to guide the totem with their bloodline."

"Why else do you think I'm so powerful?"

"Even Li, the most powerful warrior of the tribe, is no match for me." Hui bluntly stated that he was the strongest in the tribe. If the totem warriors were added as a restriction, then he as a witch would definitely not be able to participate, so it would be Li.

He thought he had discovered the blind spot, but he didn't expect that others had already known about it.

As expected, this group of people do not look like real primitive people at first glance. What they lack is not IQ, but information and cognition.

If you really regard this group of people as stupid primitive people who eat raw meat and drink blood, I'm afraid they will be hung up and beaten.

It’s like the ancients only lived in the ancient times, and they didn’t have as much information as modern people. It’s outrageous to think that any modern person can crush the ancients.

"I'm glad you're good at thinking."

"After all, the witch is the leader of the entire tribe. He not only needs enough power, but also a smart enough mind." Hui is becoming more and more satisfied with Lu Xingshi.

Lu Xingshi can only say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and as long as the person feels good to you, even if he or she is impolite, you can see it as neither humble nor arrogant.

"So what should I do next?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"You have just awakened your bloodline, and it needs to be stabilized temporarily. Therefore, you do not need to control the totem and guide the bloodline for the time being. Instead, you should learn the duties of a witch first."

"Take a break today. Tomorrow we will start planting seeds. You should stay with me and learn the techniques I use to lead the tribesmen in planting seeds."

"Come with me tomorrow night to identify herbs to prepare for learning medical skills." Hui briefly made a witch's study plan for Lu Xingshi.

A witch's strength is only part of his duties, not all of them.

Becoming stronger and protecting only account for the majority, and strengthening the entire tribe is the real responsibility of the witch.

It is not so easy to expand the tribe. Both people's livelihood and population are not small problems.

"Yes, Wu, I will study hard." Lu Xingshi said.

He did not feel contempt for his own knowledge. A whole new world and a completely different supernatural system were a huge treasure.

You need a pioneer to teach you and answer your questions, even if this pioneer may not know much or may even make mistakes.

But this is no reason for him to be arrogant.
