I am the one running the game

Chapter 538: What? You want me to chew on my own totem, isn't that a good idea?

The migration of the Tongshu tribe began soon. After Hui and Lu Xingshi went there together to confirm, they returned to the tribe and started again.

The main reason was that Hui was worried. In his eyes, Lu Xingshi was indeed very reliable, but after all, he was just an eight-year-old boy who had just reached adulthood.

So I have to confirm it again.

"Our copper tree totem has tree-like properties, which allows us to further control the totem and gain special senses, which are what you call strategic senses."

"But correspondingly, once it takes root, it will not be as convenient for our copper tree totem to move to another place as it is for other totems."

Hui looked at the bronze tree totem and said to Lu Xingshi.

"Fortunately, the Copper Tree Totem can be moved. It can bloom and bear fruit like trees. We only need to take the seeds with us, replant them when we arrive, and spend enough time watering them, and they will grow into Copper Tree Totems again."

"Like the Flower Copper Tribe where you obtained the Red Copper Flower, their Flower Copper Totem wants to migrate, just like us."

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he was indeed a little surprised: "That's not right. Their flower copper totem can produce red copper flowers, so why doesn't our copper tree tribe have it?"

The Bronze King's Court failed in its attempt to cultivate the Red Copper Flower. It was impossible to cultivate this plant containing red copper minerals without the corresponding totem.

Lu Xingshi had eaten the red copper flower, so he naturally knew its situation.

"Yes, it's the strategic sense, but the special ability of the copper tree can only be used by witches, not as good as the flower copper totem." Hui said.

"Ah, this... is too lame." Lu Xingshi complained. Other people's tribes can become an industry to increase their income, but their tribe can only look at the map.

Hui sighed: "Of course I would prefer to let the copper tree totem produce treasures like the Huatong tribe, but this is not something we can decide."

He didn't establish the Tongshu tribe, so he can't solve the problem.

"After we pick the copper tree fruit, the original copper tree totem will die, leaving only its shell."

"This body is made of complete bronze. We were supposed to melt it into bronze ingots and take it away, and then use it to cast the fruit."

"But you have awakened the bloodline ability of your bronze body, so you should be able to devour it."

"I was thinking that after you eat it, there might be some additional effects." Hui said bluntly.

He had never seen anyone chewing a totem. Most tribes took their totems with them when they migrated. For a small number of special totems like theirs, the totems were melted and used as nutrients for planting totems.

This is the first time I've been bitten by someone.

"Is this the benefit you told me?" Lu Xingshi looked extremely shocked.

It has to be said that in terms of wildness, Lu Xingshi felt that he was really not as good as these primitive people.

Asking him to chew the totem is no less than the clan leader asking a clan member to chew the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall, and also telling you that chewing it may help you get five more points in the next exam. The reason why it is possible is that this is just his guess and no one has really tried it.

"Yes, even if it doesn't allow you to gain certain abilities, it can still nourish the bloodline abilities of your bronze body."

"Don't worry about the copper tree fruit. We can just smelt more bronze ingots. The copper mine you found is very rich. We don't have to worry about the mine problem for at least thousands of years to come." Hui thought that Lu Xingshi was worried about the copper tree fruit.

Lu Xingshi's eyes twitched. This topic was indeed a tough one.

But the problem is that as a witch of the tribe, it is not a good idea to mess with the totem like this.

He had never heard of any witch who would chew on a totem.

However, due to Hui's hopeful eyes, Lu Xingshi still agreed.

"Then eat it. It can also save some effort in carrying it." Lu Xingshi said, and fetched water to wash the copper tree totem that looked a little withered. After all, it was going to be eaten, and the totem was exposed to wind, sun and rain outdoors, so it was bound to be dirty.

"It's a little withered. Is it my illusion or is it really like this?" After washing it, Lu Xingshi took a big piece and chewed it with a crunching sound in his mouth.

How to put it, the taste can be described as old and woody among all the copper mines and subspecies he has eaten, and it feels like chewing wax. In short, it is unpalatable. If it can be seasoned with some臊子 or spices, maybe it will be better.

"It's not your illusion, it's indeed withered. After the copper tree fruit is produced, the copper tree totem will melt and disappear, so it's best to eat it while it's hot." Hui took a look and explained directly to Lu Xingshi.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingshi was quite speechless. How could a tree cast out of bronze wither? Well, even bronze can be considered human blood, so it is not so surprising that a tree cast out of bronze would wither.

After swallowing the bronze in his mouth, Lu Xingshi could clearly feel the bronze blood in his body began to boil inexplicably.

The boiling feeling is different.

The previous boiling was similar to the feeling of boiling water, but now it is the boiling of high emotions and passion.

Some new bloodline ability seems to be emerging?
Seeing this, Lu Xingshi did not hesitate to eat the bronze tree totem in big mouthfuls. Even after he had completely eaten it, the boiling feeling still did not stop.

But Lu Xingshi could clearly sense the lack of successors. It seemed that the most crucial part was missing. If it was not completed, this bloodline ability would not be able to be born smoothly.

Lu Xingshi immediately understood what part he was missing, which was the copper tree fruit in Hui's hand.

The bronze tree trunk he was gnawing on was not a real bronze tree totem, but just a useless thing that had shed off, so it was inferior.

However, Lu Xingshi simply ignored the follow-up. If he really ate the copper tree fruit, the copper tree tribe would be doomed.

"How is it?" Hui asked hurriedly.

"I don't feel anything. It's just like eating a bunch of disgusting bronze." Lu Xingshi certainly couldn't say it directly, as this could easily cause chaos.

Once it spreads, if someone gets greedy and eats your totem one day, you'll be finished.

When Hui heard Lu Xingshi's answer, she looked obviously disappointed: "What a pity."

"Our tribe is poor. If it works, I'd like to take you to secretly gnaw on the totems of other tribes."

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This Hui was really cruel.

If the truth were to be known, the entire Copper Tree Tribe would be dead.

It's fine if you want to gnaw on your own ancestral tablets, but you also want to gnaw on those of other tribes. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?

However, there is a loophole here. That is, if Lu Xingshi gnaws on the totems of other tribes, he will most likely not be able to produce corresponding bloodline abilities. There are restrictions between bloodlines, totems, and tribes, just like his bronze bloodline cannot devour silver and gold treasures.

Therefore, he can give birth to a bloodline ability by eating his own totem, but this is not the case if he eats the totems of other tribes with the same bronze bloodline. At most, it can only be used as nourishment for the bronze body.

Lu Xingshi was also thinking about one thing in his mind, that is, could the flowery red copper in his hand be the same as the copper tree fruit? If he ate this thing, could it make up for the defect?

The possibility is not high, after all, this is a case of mistaken identity, but if it is modified, maybe it can work?

The reason why he was able to gain new bloodline abilities by eating the abandoned copper tree totem was not only because of the swallowing, but also because of the bronze body bloodline ability as the core key. Otherwise, there would be no way for him to obtain this second bloodline.

So if he doesn't want the second bloodline ability, and then merge it into the bronze body and swallow the red copper to complete the dislocation, then he can make the bronze body's bloodline ability have the second bloodline ability.

But by doing so, he would lose the ability to cast spells after leaving the tribe.

Such a choice really made Lu Xingshi very embarrassed.

However, Lu Xingshi soon put the matter behind him. There was no rush. The most important thing now was migration. Anyway, the second bloodline ability could not be born, it was just stuck and would not disappear. He had plenty of time to deal with it slowly.

"Come to think of it, the totems are gone, so why can I still cast spells? Is it because of the copper tree fruit?" Lu Xingshi took a look and found that he could still cast totem spells, but the duration and power had been greatly reduced.

"The totem did not disappear, it just turned into a copper tree fruit. It is still the same, and all its abilities are still there, but they are not as powerful as when it was a totem."

"This actually has an advantage. We can take it away without worrying about it being destroyed." Hui said with a smile.

Lu Xingshi asked this question more out of testing. After getting the answer, he became more and more certain that the flowery red copper he obtained was the totem fruit of the Flower Copper Tribe.

But the effect is somewhat different.

The flower-shaped copper can only take effect after contact, and all group spells will become single-target spells.

The copper tree fruit is different. It does not require contact and can be cast within the range. Group spells will not become single-target spells, but will only reduce the original effects.

The former is a personal network, and the latter is a local area network, which is a smaller totem.

Lu Xingshi speculated that it was probably because the Huatong tribe had been destroyed, but the Tongshu tribe had not, which led to the difference between the two totem fruits.

As they were talking, Lu Xingshi and Hui suddenly looked serious.

"Did you hear that?" Hui asked.

"I heard it, it's a white disaster." Lu Xingshi heard a lot of rustling sounds coming.

In the distant woods, the violent noises made the two realize that a social insect-like beast called the white plague insect was waking up.

"Something is wrong. The white disaster should still be in its dormant stage, hiding during the day and coming out at night." Lu Xingshi said, turning around and running.

Hui didn't hesitate at all and followed directly: "Not only the white disaster, the black disaster seems to be abnormal as well."

Fortunately, the people in the tribe took their things and left early, and the two of them were the last ones to clean up the bronze tree totem. After all, it was not good for others to know that Hui let Lu Xingshi chew the totem.
