I am the one running the game

Chapter 510 How come there were still Riddlers in the primitive times...

After Hui came back, all members of the Tongshu tribe breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that something had happened to Hui.

Later, Huiye explained the reason, and then all the members dispersed and did their own things.

Then, he took Ke and Lu Xingshi to talk about his request.

"You want my pearl to warm your blood?" Lu Xingshi played with the pearl in his hand. Just as he had imagined, the pearl's blood-warming effect was of no use to him at all.

His bloodline is already of the highest quality and concentration.

"Yes, I need it." Ke suppressed his discomfort. He felt that there seemed to be something strange in Lu Xingshi's gaze.

"Ke can compensate you." Hui added, "We came back so late because we were looking for blood copper."

"It's a pity that I didn't find it, otherwise you would definitely be willing to do it."

Lu Xingshi naturally believed Hui's words, but he was a little bit unconvinced by Ke. The other party's reactions were always strange.

"Okay, I'll wait for your compensation." Lu Xingshi threw the pearl directly to Ke. This thing was of no use to him and might even be a trouble.

The pearl belongs to the Venom Dragon, but the problem is how can a Venom Dragon produce a pearl? Either it comes from the poisonous pool or it is brought by the Venom Dragon. It is unreasonable for an old dragon that was driven out to have such a treasure.

Ke took the pearl with great joy and put it into the pocket of the animal skin: "Thank you, Lu, I will definitely repay you."

He didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he made such a simple thing so complicated.

"Then how are you going to repay me?" Lu Xingshi asked directly.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I will definitely make you satisfied." Ke said sincerely.

However, Lu Xingshi had an inexplicable illusion that the other party's words were just like inviting him to dinner next time, and were simply a courtesy.

"Okay, then you take your time to think about it. Don't lose the pearl. After you use it, the people in our tribe can also use it."

"Just imagine how powerful it would be if everyone in our tribe had a high concentration of bronze blood." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

This thing is a strategic-level treasure, especially since their Copper Tree Tribe has a small population and will be covered quickly.

Most people have a medium to high concentration, so it is not that difficult to reach a high concentration.

The Copper Tree Tribe simply does not have reusable treasures like this.

"Don't worry, I will keep it very well." It is impossible for Ke to throw it away. Others may not know how long it takes to increase the blood concentration from low level to high level, but how could he not know that it would take at least ten years.

And this can only be achieved if the pearl is carried with you at all times to nourish your blood.

The main reason is that the blood concentration is too low, making it difficult for the effect of the pearl to help even if it wants to.

The matter was resolved smoothly, which made Huiye smile.

"Don't worry, I will ask Li to bring you some treasures from the royal court that can enhance your blood concentration." Hui consoled him, and then looked at Lu Xingshi: "If Ke can't give you a good compensation, I will ask Li to find a way to bring you a piece of blood copper from the royal court."

"That's great." Lu Xingshi did not refuse. Hui was willing to let the tribe endorse Ke, so Lu Xingshi naturally agreed.

When Ke heard this, he felt helpless.

There is no way for people to come back alive and take anything with them.

As for change? He couldn't change this. The war was too brutal, more terrible than any previous war in the royal court.

After each of them got what they wanted, Hui took Ke and left Lu Xingshi's tent, and each went about their own business.

Hui has a lot of things to deal with. As a witch, he has to help Li and others make some preparations.

There is naturally no need to worry about the two reserve wizards, Lu Xingshi and Ke. The workload is not that much, after all, the difficulty lies in the allocation of food.

After everyone left, Lu Xingshi continued to study his bronze bloodline.

"The bronze veins of Ke are just dried-up ditches, while Hui is a lake."

"Mine is the endless ocean."

"The bloodline is presented in the form of rivers and lakes. I don't know what the meaning is."

Lu Xingshi was thinking about this matter in his mind.

Time flies and we arrived the next day.

Plow was ready to go with 199 totem warriors.

Hui is blessing them. This is not a totem spell, but a symbol of safety.

Lu Xingshi and Ke stood aside to learn, and if there are more in the future, they can be asked to come.

After the blessing, the plow set out.

However, Hui was somewhat uneasy and took the two of them back to the tent.

"I did some divination last night." Hui said suddenly.

Ke had never heard of this incident in his previous life. Apparently, this incident was only told to Wo in his previous life.

"This war is very cruel. We must be prepared to make sure they cannot return." Hui continued.

Divination, of course, uses totem magic. "Then why do you let them go?" Lu Xingshi asked back, and then said: "Bring them back now, there is still a chance."

"We can circumvent the covenant in other ways."

Lu Xingshi’s idea is very simple, that is, if you know there is a tiger in the mountain, don’t go there.

"I know totem magic, and so do the witches in the royal court, and they are more proficient than us." Hui sighed.

What this means is that his magic can't fool the wizards of the Bronze Court, so they have to go.

"Maybe we should move." Ke said suddenly.

If the Copper Tree Tribe could be allowed to leave here, perhaps destruction could be avoided.

However, Hui shook her head: "The copper tree totem has taken root here, and we can't leave."

"Why? I remember that the totem doesn't have this ability." Lu Xingshi asked immediately.

A totem is essentially an object, just a little bigger, so what's the problem with moving it?

However, Ke's heart sank and he said nothing.

"Because the copper tree totem is special."

"You will understand after you further control the bronze tree with your blood." Hui did not directly answer Lu Xingshi, but said in a mysterious voice.

This made Lu Xingshi very unhappy. What kind of riddle teller are you?

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it. This is a feeling, and you need to experience it yourself to know it." Hui saw that Lu Xingshi was unhappy, so she explained.

Ke, who was standing by, suspected that the demise of the Bronze Tree Tribe might be related to the Bronze Tree Totem, but he had no evidence.

Lu Xingshi was thinking that this might be the difference brought about by another word of the Tongshu Tribe.

The Bronze Tree Tribe has two words in its name: long tradition and mysterious. He has seen the long tradition. Not only does it have a complete witch heritage, but it also comes from the Bronze King's Court.

Then the word mysterious should be applied to the special feature of the bronze tree totem in Huikou’s painting.

"Okay, anyway, you are a witch, and I am just a reserve witch. It is not my turn to worry about the affairs of the tribe." Lu Xingshi said.

But after knowing the specialness of the copper tree totem, he began to think about when to study it.

"If nothing else, I'm going to go find the bronze tree totem." Lu Xingshi stood up and left.

Lu Xingshi is not suitable to continue swallowing bronze now. Although the color of the little bronze man on his body has become much lighter, it is still very obvious.

Only when it completely disappears can you start a new round of strengthening. Otherwise, you can only wait and see. Even if you eat bronze again, your bloodline ability and bronze body cannot help speed up digestion and absorption.

According to Lu Xingshi's estimation, it would take at least a month.

When he couldn't see any clues about the copper tree totem, he went mining.

Huilu smiled bitterly: "Go ahead, but don't have too high expectations. With your current strength, you can't feel it at all."

"You must have at least ten totem spells and a blood pattern on your body."

Bloodlines are the effects that appear when a totem warrior's physique and will reach a certain level after guiding his blood through totem power. They are similar to the spell imprints formed by totem spells.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look. Ten totem spells are easy, but one blood pattern is not that easy."

"In our tribe, there are quite a few blood-marked totem warriors, including Hui you."

Hui had seven blood lines, while Li had only five. The rest had mostly three to four blood lines, but the totem warriors with three blood lines were the most numerous.

But even so, it would take at least three to five years for the first blood vein to condense, and each subsequent blood vein would take even longer.

"That's you. I only have twelve totem spells." Hui said. He was not Lu Xingshi and did not have perfect blood concentration. Naturally, he did not have as good an effect as Lu Xingshi in controlling the bronze tree.

From the time he became a wizard till now, he has only acquired twelve totem spells in total. If he wants to acquire more in the future, he is afraid that there is no hope. He will probably have to stop here for the rest of his life.

The reason is naturally because the blood concentration is not enough to continue to control the totem more deeply.

"It's okay. When Ke has used up the pearls, I'll give them to you. Once the concentration of your bronze bloodline reaches a high level, you should be able to make further progress." Lu Xingshi comforted her. This was indeed the truth.

However, Ke looked at her nose and thought about her heart, pretending that he hadn't heard anything. Instead, he changed the subject: "Hui, I'm going to..."

He made up an excuse and left earlier than Lu Xingshi.

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi smiled and said, "He treats the pearl as his own."

"It doesn't matter, he's still young." Hui didn't mind: "When I was young, I was actually pretty much the same as him."

"People like you are only a minority after all."

Hui's words made Lu Xingshi realize that although Ke looked old, he was only eight years old, not eighteen.

We are all just children, even if our physiques don’t look like children.

Because Ke, Wo and others were too mature, Lu Xingshi subconsciously thought that they were adults, which was indeed a bit of judging people by their appearance.

After Zai Ke left, Lu Xingshi also got up and left to observe and study the bronze tree totem. Otherwise, there would be nothing to talk about with Hui as they couldn't talk in the same direction.
