Chapter 4: Totem Inheritance

The sun was rising on the horizon, illuminating the entire Far North Wasteland in a blood-red color.

The land of the herd clan, the blood-stained land, is a mess, and the stumps and broken arms are scattered everywhere.

Although the horse thief was repulsed, Mu Shi was also traumatized.

Tribes, which were not strong in the first place, appeared even more vulnerable.

The pain of the clansmen was like a sharp blade, which was fiercely inserted into the heart of the patriarch and also in Mu Ge's chest, he resented himself and felt that everything was his fault.

If it weren't for his coming-of-age celebrations, if it weren't for the warrior challenge he launched, the clan wouldn't have been without the slightest vigilance.

If it weren't for all this, in the dark night, horse thieves could be found from afar, and an effective defensive offensive could be formed, and the clansmen would not have suffered such large casualties.

Although, no one complained about him, no one blamed him, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable he became, fell into deep self-blame, locked himself in the tent, and did not even open the door when the tiger girl came to say goodbye.

No matter how much things happen, in the wilderness, survival always comes first.

Those who are alive must live better, and the warriors who sacrifice their clansmen must not be allowed to die worthless.

A raging fire burns in front of the tribes, and cannot be extinguished for a long time.

In the flames, it was the clansmen who died in battle, as if they still wanted to take a look at the tribe that raised them, as if they were reluctant to accompany their relatives, as if they couldn't let go of their feelings for the tribe.

The fire is not extinguished, and the heroic spirit is not dispersed.

The dead horse thieves, without such treatment, were all thrown into the hunting area of the Mu clan in the Jialan Forest, which was used to attract more wild beasts, and the warriors of the communist tribe hunted and killed them for the tribe to survive and play the last bit of role.

Savage, that's how cruel it is.

The patriarch distributed all the gold and silver coins he had collected to the families of the warriors who had died protecting the clan, but they were returned.

If there is no man in the family, what is the use of asking for this money, it is better to give it to the tribe for distribution.

After seven days of recuperation, the injuries in the battle were not completely healed, but the men had to take up their weapons and prepare to enter the mountain.

Almost every family in the tribe has no food stock, and if this continues, it will not take two days for the tribe to starve.

This time into the mountain, Mu Feng personally led the team, and the hunting team was less than twenty people.

Mu Ge wanted to go, but he was stopped by his father, and the wound on his back has not healed yet.

His father gave him a more important task, asking him to protect the safety of the tribe and shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the people.

The second uncle, Mu Tie, took nearly ten clansmen and prepared to go to Chishan City to purchase daily necessities.

As a result, there are fewer men in the tribe, and Mugo must protect the tribe, which is their roots and their homeland.

Looking at the departing clansmen, Mu Ge's face did not have the smile of the past, with perseverance, he looked at the clansmen and waited for the clansmen.

The departing clansmen disappeared from sight, and Mu Ge's mind fell on his right arm.

He could feel that the golden-colored arm bones were subtly changing his body, making his body more and more tenacious, and the speed of wound healing was faster than others.

The days seemed to have returned to peace, the tribe was no longer the laughter of the past, and everyone was silent.

Mu Ge didn't know how to comfort the clansmen, so he had to exercise himself even harder, and he didn't tell anyone about the fusion of his right arm with the golden arm bone, and quietly hid it in his heart.

The two brothers, Mu Yun and Mu Yu, are also more diligent than usual, and a small tribe like the Mu clan has no cultivation method, just blindly exercising muscle strength and attacking each other to exercise their ability to carry and hit.

In the open space, the three of them scuffled together frantically, without rules and routines, but they were much heavier than usual, as if venting the resentment in their hearts.

Mu Ge was praised by the tribe as the warrior of the tribe, and although the warrior challenge was not completed, he killed the most horse thieves that night.

Mu Ge did not argue that the tribe really needed a warrior to give the tribe a confidence, courage and hope.

"Wood, there is fire in your heart, don't sprinkle it on our brothers, why don't you do it. ”

Mu Yu was thrown far away, gnawed a mouthful of grass, and said with grinning teeth on the ground.

Mu Yun roared loudly, like an angry bull, rushed up and hugged Mu Ge's waist, trying to knock him to the ground, but he couldn't do it, but Mu Ge grabbed the clothes on his back, lifted it high, and threw it beside Mu Yu.

Clapping his hands, Mu Ge said to the two brothers: "Usually when you exercise, you are ruthless, when you meet the enemy, you have a better chance of survival, we don't have any good methods, we can only exercise like this, unlike those big tribes, there are those things called skills, we don't have them, so we figure it out ourselves." ”

"Hey, wood, don't talk nonsense, people are the power of the totem, I heard Abba say, our Mu clan used to be a well-known big tribe, with a population of hundreds of thousands, but then something happened, the totem was destroyed, and the inheritance was broken, and it gradually declined. ”

"This is not something you are talking about, and you are not allowed to say such things in the future. ”

"Patriarch. ”

After Mu Yun was thrown out, he talked about some secrets he knew, but was reprimanded by the patriarch who suddenly appeared.

"Mu Ge, come with me to the tent, there are some things to discuss with you. ”

The tribe was attacked by horse thieves and suffered heavy casualties, and the old patriarch looked even older, and even needed to walk with a cane.

Mu Ge hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, it was the first time for the patriarch to speak to him so politely, which made him a little flattered.

Entering the main tent, the patriarch seemed to be a little embarrassed, and stopped talking, looking around the rows of tables and stools around the main tent, some familiar faces would never appear.

"Patriarch Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. ”

Mu Ge saw the patriarch's embarrassment, but he couldn't guess the patriarch's thoughts.

"Mu Ge, I really can't say anything about this matter, old man, but for the sake of the clan, I still have to say it. ”

"Grandpa the patriarch, there is nothing unspeakable, everything comes first to the clan. Hearing Mu Ge say this, the patriarch was very pleased, as if he had made a great determination, and then said to Mu Ge: "I want to use the fierce beasts that came back from the hunt to make a pot of soup and medicine to improve the strength of the clansmen." ”

"This..."

Mu Ge didn't expect this to happen, the fierce beast was full of treasures.

Hides can be made into tough leather armor, sharp teeth can be sharpened into sharp arrows, and bowstrings made of animal tendons can shoot through the head of a beast from a distance, but the coming-of-age ceremony of the beast is of great significance.

Although, now he can't take care of the Lou clan to propose marriage, but without the coming-of-age ceremony, what will he take to marry a tiger girl?

The patriarch's proposal put him in a dilemma.

"Mu Ge, you also heard Mu Yun's baby say just now, my Mu clan used to be a famous big clan, and the totem of my clan is also the most powerful totem in the wild land, cough cough. ”

The patriarch's thoughts fell into memories, a cold wind hit outside the tent, he couldn't help coughing a few times, surrounded the brazier, and told Mu Ge about the past of the Mu family.

In the past, the Mu clan was also the leading clan in the wild land, with a large area of fertile grassland, and the surrounding tribes had to pay tribute to the Mu clan every year to seek the protection of the Mu clan.

It was a wilderness, and no city had been established, and it was mainly nomadic, fighting against the harsh natural environment, powerful beasts, and fierce beasts, and there were often animal tides, and it was very difficult to survive.

The once glorious Mu clan, the patriarch has never seen it, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and what happened later, the patriarch does not know the details.

In the wilderness, there is a totem inheritance, it can be called a clan, totem, is the source of the spirit and strength of the clan, but also the root of the bone pattern inheritance, if you lose the totem, you can only be called a clan.

Listening to the patriarch, the Mu totem was retained, and Mu Ge was also very surprised.

I saw the patriarch trembling and take out a delicate and simple wooden box from the box beside him, put it in front of Mu Ge, and said: "I don't know why, since the day you came back, the inheritance of the ancestors will emit golden visions at night, maybe it is related to you, maybe it is related to the fierce beast, I can't guess the old man." ”

As he spoke, the patriarch opened the wooden box, took out a roll of animal skins and put it aside, revealing an even smaller wooden box, and when he opened it, what caught Mu Ge's eyes was a piece of bone the size of a fingernail.

The moment the box was opened, there was a burning sensation from Mu Ge's right arm, his eyes staring at the small piece of bone, the feeling of blood being connected, filling his whole body, and the blood seemed to be tumbling.

Involuntarily reached out and picked up the bones in the box, the moment his fingers touched the bones, the originally gray bones emitted a dazzling golden light.

Mu Ge was startled and withdrew his hand.

"Inheritance, inheritance. The patriarch was excited, did not know what words to use, and some were incoherent.

The shock in Mu Ge's heart did not subside, the patriarch faced the north, changed his sitting to kneeling, his right fist pressed against his left chest, and two old tears slid down his face.

"The ancestors blessed me and guided me in the direction of the pastor's progress, my pastor's family, the rise is hopeful, old and decayed, and there is no regret in death. ”

The sonorous words were sonorous and powerful, as if Mu Ge had rekindled the fire of hope in the patriarch's heart.

"Patriarch, you are..."

"Mu Ge, needless to say, in the future, you will be the next patriarch of the Mu clan, and when everyone returns, a ceremony will be held under the witness of the sky. ”

The patriarch's words were undoubted, so that Mu Ge's unspoken words were swallowed back into his stomach.

"Patriarch Grandpa, that fierce beast..."Mu Ge wanted to speak and stopped, his words pulled the old patriarch's thoughts back to reality.

"Actually, in the ancestral inheritance, there is a prescription, which includes the use of the essence and blood of the fierce beast as the main medicine to make a strong body decoction prescription, so the old man I have such a proposal, Mu Shi, I can't afford any damage. ”

Originally, the patriarch's purpose was only a fierce beast, and the ancestors inherited the vision, just casually mentioning it, and it also meant to be tempted, but this accident was a big surprise for the old patriarch.
