I am the one running the game

Chapter 540: Twelve Royal Envoys Slaughter the Black and White Insect Plague
On the seventh day, Hui could no longer run, but Lu Xingshi was fine. He could walk briskly while carrying Hui on his back.

The main reason for painting is that it consumes too much energy. I really don't have the energy left.

After seven days of not eating and working hard, it was already very good that he didn't die without drinking a drop of water.

This can be considered a drawback of the primitive era. If it were the Qianyuan Realm, let alone running for seven days, with the same strength, people who ran for a hundred or eighty years at this intensity would be full of energy and there would be no problem at all.

It can only be said that in terms of innate evolution, the primitive era was indeed strong, but in terms of acquired autonomous growth, it was far behind.

"Lu, put me down and run away with the copper tree fruit." Hui said weakly.

"Don't worry, I'll find you something to eat later." Lu Xingshi responded.

Theoretically, the black and white plague insects are now the same as Hui, but the reality is that these two things are not only not weak at all, they are not hungry at all.

The Black Scourge eats ore, so how can it be hungry while traveling underground? If not, it can also eat soil.

As for the white plague beetle, it is even simpler. There is a system called rotation.

Some of the white plague insects are separated to eat in chronological order, and the remaining white plague insects continue to be hunted down. When the white plague insects that have finished eating come back, they will be replaced by some to eat, so it is unrealistic to starve them to death.

On the contrary, Lu Xingshi and Hui were being hunted and had been running all the time. Naturally, they couldn't hunt for food. They didn't dare to stop or eat, and in the end, Hui became like this.

Lu Xingshi thought that if Hui continued to starve like this for another ten days, she would probably be close to death.

I am indeed a little weak now, at most I am just too hungry to have any strength, it is really not a big problem.

As long as they are given food and drink, there won't be any big problem.

"Let's do this. When I run, you reach out and grab things. You can eat whatever you catch." Lu Xingshi said, preparing to change direction.

"Wait, there seems to be someone in front, right?" Hui suddenly said.

Lu Xingshi followed and looked, and it seemed that there were indeed several figures rushing over. They were all tall and strong, and it was obvious that they were very powerful.

"Black and White Disaster? Are you from the Copper Tree Tribe?" A totem warrior who was in the lead arrived and took action immediately while asking questions.

This is a nine-pattern totem warrior, whose strength is far greater than Lu Xingshi and Hui.

Several people attacked together and smashed the head of one of the black plague insects that was about to devour Lu Xingshi and Hui into powder on the spot.

Although it has lost its head, the black plague insect is extremely tenacious and none of it has died yet. Instead, it is twisting wildly, causing the ground to begin to shake violently.

At the same time, when another black plague insect saw this scene, it immediately gave up on Lu Xingshi and Hui and went towards the totem warriors who had taken action.

"We are the emissaries of the royal court, and we are ordered to go to the north to investigate. What's going on with you?" After another totem warrior joined the battlefield, he blasted a huge hole in the dense torrent of white plague insects with great force, and a large number of white plague insects turned into foam.

"We were planning to migrate, and then we met..." Hui immediately explained his situation.

The attacks of the totem warriors became more and more fierce, and the Black and White Disaster was defeated step by step.

As for the two disasters merging into one to increase their strength to fight against the royal messengers, forget it. Before they grow to a certain extent, they cannot engage in parasitic symbiosis. It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't.

Lu Xingshi counted the number and dispatched a total of twelve Nine-Pattern Totem Warriors.

This strength is more than enough to deal with the black and white disasters without host symbiosis.

According to Lu Xingshi's observation, the blood concentration of these twelve Nine-Pattern Totem Warriors is at least high-level, and not far from the perfect blood concentration.

They also possess the totem spells cast by the Bronze Witch King.

He is a great wizard. His totem spells are far superior to those of ordinary wizards in terms of strength, duration and even range, so there is naturally no problem in continuing them for a long time.

In less than half an hour, the black plague insects were beaten into a pool of meat paste, and the white plague insects were completely turned into nothing, deader than ever.

"I didn't expect that the bronze tree totem would actually attract the black and white disasters. You have to be careful next time to avoid being targeted again." After solving the problem, a royal envoy who led the team spoke.

He didn't have much thought about it. The royal court had the responsibility to protect the tribe, even if it was just a coincidence that they helped this time.

"How much do you know about the situation in the north?"

After being comforted, the other party started to ask. The Tongshu Tribe was indeed in the north. As for whether he knew anything, he would ask first.

"No, we had been preparing for migration, and then we encountered this black and white disaster." Hui said.

There are few interactions between the tribes and the distances between them are far. It is difficult for them to be self-sufficient at ordinary times, so how can they have the spare energy to communicate with other tribes? Communication requires food.

"Okay, then you guys just be careful." The royal envoy said, and then continued to head north.

Saving people is a piece of cake, and we must not delay the order of the Witch King any longer. Lu Xingshi carried Hui on his back and found him something to eat, then sat down to rest and asked, "Those totem warriors just now should not be from the royal court, right?"

"No, if there are totem warriors in the tribe who can condense five blood patterns, the royal court will recruit them and make them envoys of the royal court."

"Generally speaking, most people would agree that this is not only an honor, but they can also obtain corresponding treasures from the royal court."

"It's just that most people won't choose to become a Royal Court Messenger when they have five blood lines, but will choose to become a Royal Court Messenger when they have seven or so."

"Although the five blood veins are powerful enough, they are still not enough to deal with the various dangers in the wilderness."

"This also has its advantages. A small tribe like ours is not enough to support the birth of a Nine-Pattern Totem Warrior."

"The King's Court provides us with resources, and the totem warrior works for the King's Court, but he is still a member of our tribe, and we each have our own gains."

"But the corresponding danger is also very great. Even a Nine-Pattern Totem Warrior may die in the wilderness."

Hui explained it, but it was only limited to totem warriors. If it was a witch, he would not be recruited. A witch could be a totem warrior, but a totem warrior could not be a witch.

Basically, witches will not leave the tribe easily, but will protect the tribe as rulers and spellcasters.

The Bronze Court governs a very large area. If all the envoys of the court are really from the court, then the required manpower will definitely not be enough.

Therefore, they recruited people from various tribes.

Recruiting is different from conscription. The former is based on voluntary participation, while the latter requires one to go.

"No wonder they would help. Otherwise, if someone from the royal court came, their attitude towards us would definitely not be so nice." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

The recruited envoys from the royal court were not considered high-ranking officials of the royal court, so they were not the beneficiaries of the previous "loss of royal court treasures" incident, but the losers.

These royal envoys have been traveling outside for years, deepening the foundation of the royal court's rule.

However, there is no need to worry about becoming stronger. The totem they use to guide their blood is a bronze totem. It takes at least a year to fully digest and absorb the blood once. Both in quality and quantity, it is far superior to the totem of the tribe.

Lu Xingshi thought it was just one more digit, but in fact it might be two, three or even four more digits, and it would be safer and more efficient.

Otherwise, could he be the source totem?
"That's right. They probably hate you to death. If you hadn't refused to cooperate, this wouldn't have happened." After eating the food, Hui gradually recovered and even had time to joke with Lu Xingshi.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's my fault that I didn't know how to appreciate it and offended the people in the royal court. From now on, I will have no place to stand." Lu Xingshi mocked.

Hui didn't quite understand idioms like "ungrateful for a favor" and "no place to stand", but that didn't stop him from understanding that Lu Xingshi was mocking the royal court.

"Wait, I thought of one thing. The royal envoy has dealt with the black and white disasters. Can we still get the demolition compensation then?" Lu Xingshi reacted at this time.

After all, they migrated to get compensation because they couldn’t solve the black and white disaster. Now they have migrated, but the black and white disaster has also been solved.

"Rather than worrying about this, it is better to worry about the fact that the Witch King is willing to send twelve Nine-Marked Totem Warriors to the north."

"When we reported the black and white disaster, no one was willing to arrange for us to come, but now..."

To solve the black and white disaster, only a few nine-pattern totem warriors are needed, but the royal court refused due to lack of manpower.

But this time, only twelve people were sent out, which was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

Of course, this is also because the Copper Tree Tribe is not big and not valuable enough.

"To the north, it should be the Serpent King's Court."

"I guess the Witch King received some news." Lu Xingshi guessed without any reason.

At first glance, twelve Nine-Pattern Totem Warriors are indeed not a large number, but this number is at least one percent of the total number of Nine-Patterns.

It is actually normal for such a large royal court to have thousands of Nine-Pattern Totem Warriors. After all, as long as the blood concentration is high enough and one perseveres, they can basically succeed.

Even in theory, all totem warriors can reach the ninth level. Even if the blood concentration is as low as that of Ke, as long as they persist in guiding the blood through the totem, they can achieve it. It’s just that how long it will take is uncertain, and they cannot die during this period.

"Maybe it's the matter you reported before that the Snake Spirit King Court arranged people to poison." Hui said quickly.

Hui had told Ni about this matter. After sending Lu Xingshi into the royal court, Ni was also busy with this matter. Not only her, but also many royal court envoys were doing this, and they also captured many spies from the Snake Spirit Royal Court.

It would then be normal for the royal court to extract some intelligence or secrets from these spies.

"You're right. This is really possible. It's just that the efficiency is too slow. It's been such a long time since we thought about solving it." Lu Xingshi thought it made sense, but when he thought about the time, it must have been such a long time ago. It must have been at least half a year.
