Chapter 40: Totem Inheritance

Re-capturing a matching Demon Beast Soul for Silver Moon is how Dark Fragrance tells Gao Ge to reawaken Silver Moon.

After detonating her soul without reservation, Silver Moon's beast soul has also vanished, and only by finding a new beast soul to nourish her fragile soul cocoon can her soul break out of the cocoon again and regain its strength.

According to Dark Fragrance's estimation, if she is not nourished by the beast soul within a month, Silver Moon's soul cocoon will be depleted, and at that time, it will be the end of her life.

It is necessary to bring back a suitable beast soul within a month.

For this, Dark Fragrance has made all the preparations, and to reach the goal, she needs the help of Gao Ge.

The next day, Gao Ge and Darkincense set off in the pre-dawn darkness, accompanied by a small group of elite warriors led by Zoranama and vice president.

By the time the scorching sun had risen overhead, they had plunged into the boundless forest of trees that covered the sky, and soon reached the camp of the Serpent Tribe.

The camp of the snake department is built on a mountain cliff, with trees as a village and water as a trench, which is very solid.

The camp in front of me seems to have grown a little larger than the last time I came.

It seems that, like Weishan City, there are already wandering barbarians who are defecting to this cottage that can give them shelter.

"Brother Gao Ge!" With a cry of surprise, Lan Lan rushed like a deer from the gate that had just opened a crack.

There were still a few steps away from Gao Ge, and Lan Lan had already made a leap to pounce on Gao Ge.

Gao Ge smiled bitterly, and had to catch the nephrite warm fragrance that came from his arms, if he didn't take it, looking at her unreserved appearance, it was very likely that she would fall to the ground solidly.

"Brother Gao Ge, I miss you. Xiao Nizi just hugged Gao Ge's neck, but her face immediately changed, and she pointed behind him and asked, "Who is she?"

She ...... She is a friend of Silver Moon, Dark Fragrance. You should be called Sister Dark Fragrance. Gao Ge put Lan Lan down.

"I don't think she wants me to call her sister. Lan Lan glanced at the dark fragrance like frost.

"Hmph, it's really not worth it for the silver moon. Dark Xiang snorted coldly, and walked straight to the side, without looking at Gao Ge and Lan Lan.

"What's the cow!" Lan Lan grimaced at the back of the dark incense, and pulled Gao Ge towards the gate of the village.

At this time, the patriarch of the Snake Clan, Lie Snake, had already led more than a dozen warriors from the clan out of the gate to greet him.

......

In a "house" made of logs tied together and roofed with thatch, Gao Ge and his party sat opposite the leaders of the barbarian tribes such as the Fierce Worm, and were eating simple food.

Unlike at the beginning, when they were very unaccustomed and even full of wariness, the soldiers of Weishan City now have a very natural and relaxed relationship with the barbarian warriors.

"Patriarch, how many people have gathered in the village now?" Gao Ge asked as he ate.

"Recently, people have been coming to vote, and now there are more than 800 people in the whole village. The Lie Worm took a sip of the fruit wine made by himself in the village, and looked happy.

"Very good!" Gao Ge was also very satisfied, "There are more people, whether it is digging medicinal herbs or looking for heavenly and earthly treasures, it will be easier." ”

"Yes, we've got a lot of good stuff lately, I'll take you to the warehouse later. By the way, there are too many people, and there will not be enough food and weapons, so you have to send more as soon as possible, good son-in-law. "Lie Worm is a good son-in-law when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth.

Gao Ge only felt a chill in the back of his neck, and it seemed that he could hear a cold snort coming from a certain direction.

"Ahem! That's not a problem. Last time, a lot of food was exchanged. By the way, those medicinal materials that can be refined into gold creation drugs are now the most scarce, and they have the best market, so they can be collected in a focused manner. Gao Ge suggested.

"Well, no problem. Yesterday, a tribesman came to report that thirty miles to the east had found a valley where many medicinal herbs grew, and then they sent people to collect them. The Flame Snake nodded repeatedly.

"The cottage now has a certain scale, and it should be named a village, which is more convenient to call, and it is also conducive to playing the banner and collecting the people. Gao Ge suggested.

"Makes sense!" Lie Snake expressed great interest, patted his leg and said: "This cottage was built by our Snake Department, how about calling it Snake Village?"

The leaders of the barbarians applauded.

Gao Ge shook his head and said, "If you take refuge in the name of the Snake Snake, people who come to take refuge will feel that they have been swallowed up by the Snake Tribe, resulting in a natural rejection. You know, now there are more outsiders than the people in the snake headquarters, and I want to take a name that everyone thinks is acceptable, so that everyone can produce this is my own cottage, my own home, this feeling of the village. As I said, this should be the home of all displaced barbarians. ”

"Sounds reasonable!" the Flame Worm nodded repeatedly, then frowned, looking like he was meditating.

Gao Ge suddenly smiled as if he remembered something interesting: "If the village is a home, then the cliff behind your village is the beam of the family's house, and the whole village is built on it." I think the village is named after it, how about it being called Liangshanzhai?"

"Liang Shanzhai...... Liang Shanzhai!Good!Good!" Liejiao applauded loudly, "Easy to remember and image, worthy of being my Liejiao's good son-in-law!"

"Don't call me the patriarch in the future, but call me the lord of the village, the lord of the Liangshan village, do you know?" the blazing snake pointed to the barbarian leaders around him and commanded proudly.

"Hello owner!"

"Lord of the Village!"

The leaders of the barbarians around them grinned and saluted the fierce worm one by one, their movements exaggerated and clumsy, and they did not have a proper shape, which made Zoranama and Vincent frown.

But Gao Ge was happy, this is not big or small, and he looks reckless, which is really in line with the feeling of Liangshan in his mind.

"By the way, what's wrong with Uncle Viper? Lan Lan said that she was helpless?" Gao Ge and the others had enough trouble, and asked the Lie Worm.

Lan Lan returned here more than ten days ago and has stayed until now, because the eldest totem warrior of the Snake Tribe, Uncle Viper, was attacked by the Serpent Department when he went out to meet a small wandering tribe that came to take refuge, and was seriously injured, so the Fierce Snake recruited Lan Lan to come back and hoped that she would use her ability to stimulate Uncle Viper's vitality.

But Uncle Viper was still getting weaker and weaker day by day, and he was too old after all.

"Uncle Viper probably won't survive the past few days, and we plan to hold a totem inheritance ceremony for him tonight, which is also his wish. The Flame Snake's expression was a little gloomy.

"Can totems be inherited?"

"Yes. Totems can be obtained by hunting a monster, devouring its beast soul, or from other totem warriors. If a totem warrior is facing death, he can extract his totem and give it to his companions or relatives who have awakened the soul platform, so that the totem can be passed on. Legion explained.

"Aren't there more and more totemic warriors in that tribe?" Gao Ge asked.

Lie Yu shook his head: "When inheriting the beast soul, both parties must be completely voluntary, and the process will take a lot of time, and it must not be disturbed. Warriors rarely die of old age, they all die in battle. After death, the totem dissipates immediately, and there is no chance to pass it on slowly. Therefore, only six of the nine totems of our Snake Department at its peak will lose their inheritance. ”

Gao Ge suddenly remembered the strange appearance of the fierce pig warrior who challenged in front of the battle when he died in battle when he attacked Weishan City that day.

It seems that this is the anomaly of his totem when it dissipates, and the totem completely dissipates in a few breaths, and it is indeed impossible to carry out the inheritance ritual on the battlefield of life and death.

And Gao Ge also understood what the barbarian warriors in the city were sighing for at that time, and they were sighing for the loss of the totem of that warrior.

......

There is a hidden hole under the cliff, and after bending down and walking seven or eight meters, it suddenly opens up in front of you.

It was a space of three or four hundred square meters, and at this time, under the reflection of torches, it could be seen that all sides were full of supplies, and in the open space in the middle, many people had gathered.

On a stone platform surrounded by everyone, the viper was lying motionless, and he was very emaciated.

"It's not a pity for me to die, but if one of the last three inheritance totems of my department is lost in my hands, this sin is too great! I don't have the face to see the ancestral spirits when I die!" said Viper's face with deep sadness and pain.

"Xiao Tie, you have awakened the soul platform, and you can accept the beast soul to become a totem warrior. This frost viper totem of mine has been passed down to me for the eleventh generation. After eleven generations of warmth, it is absolutely impossible for it to regurgitate the host, you can rest assured. Uncle Vi whispered to Xiao Tie, who was kneeling on the side, Lan Lan's brother Qi Tie said.

"I'm not worried, I just can't bear it, Grandpa Viper, you'll be fine. Qi Tie's stubborn and youthful face was stained with tears.

The totem of the totem warrior has been deeply integrated with his own divine soul, and if he forcibly pulls it out, he will die.

"Silly boy!" Uncle Vi stretched out his big thin hand, patted Qi Tie's head gently, and looked loving, "Everyone will die, every day someone dies, death is such an ordinary thing, grandpa, I don't care about it at all! I can fight and die for the tribe, and I still have the opportunity to pass on my totem before I die, my life is simply perfect. You are grandpa, I grew up watching, I know you are reluctant to grandpa, then, you just think this is a gift from grandpa, okay?"

"Xiao Tie, did you hear Grandpa Viper's words?" Lie Worm patted his son's shoulder heavily, "Inheriting Grandpa's totem and continuing to protect the clan on his behalf is your true filial piety to Grandpa." ”

After a moment, Qi Tie looked up, his eyes resolute.

"Stinky boy!" the blazing beetle let out a long breath.

Uncle Viper's face also showed a relieved smile.

Immediately afterwards, the viper struggled to sit up with the support of the crowd, crossed his legs, and assumed a peculiar posture, his eyes slightly closed.

The crowd helped him take off the animal skin he was wearing, and on his thin, shriveled, scarred chest, there was a hideous viper totem, but the color was already very light, and it seemed to dissipate at any time.

The fierce dragon's expression became solemn, and he took the lead in kneeling down in front of the viper, and his voice was low: "Viper, go all the way! every scar you left for the survival of the tribe will be remembered." ”

The Snake tribesmen present all knelt down one after another, and sobbing was heard.

Among the kneeling crowd, more than thirty barbarians silently took daggers, stone knives, or other sharp objects, and cut a deep wound on their faces, allowing blood and tears to flow together.

They are the people of the small tribe that Viper Bo fought for his life, saved from the pursuit of the Snake Tribe, and joined the Liangshan Village.

It is conceivable that they will regard Liangshanzhai as their real home.

Liangshanzhai will become a big melting pot for the barbarians.

Uncle Viper could no longer open his eyes, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly, and he could see that he wanted to say goodbye to his people with a smile, but he didn't even have the strength to do so.

After a few breaths, the viper totem on the viper's chest suddenly wriggled like a living creature, coiled and twisted, tumbling and twitching, as if he was in great pain.

Eventually, the viper totem slowly disintegrated in a frantic struggle, dissipating beneath its skin.

From Viper's body, which gradually turned gray, a white mist of light slowly emerged, and condensed into the shape of a faint fierce snake, which seemed to be tumbling and hissing.

It's time!

The Flame Snake nodded at his son.

Qi Tie quickly struck a pose like that of Viper, his eyes closed, and after a breath, a ghostly light emerged from the center of his eyebrows.

As if sensing something, as soon as this Fu Wenfu appeared, he shot out a ghostly light, sucking in the beast soul of the frost viper who was struggling.

"Huh!" Qi Tie's skin instantly turned pale, covered in a layer of frost.

But in the next moment, this layer of frost quickly melted, and his complexion immediately returned to normal, and on his strong chest, a fierce snake totem quietly appeared, but it was not exactly similar to the previous viper, but it seemed to be a little more vicious, and the color was unusually clear.

The Frost Viper Totem has been inherited, and it has been reborn in its young body, stronger than before.

Viper's body slowly fell, but was gently held by Qi Tie, who had taken a step forward.

The Flame Snake stood up, pointed at Qi Tie and said solemnly: "From today on, you are one of the three totemic warriors of our department, and you will receive the name of Iron Viper." Do you have the courage to make this name the glory of our people?"

The former Qi Tie, the current totem warrior Iron Viper, gently put down the viper, Huo Ran stood up, pounded his chest hard, and almost roared: "I, I will let the name of the iron viper spread throughout the entire forest, let friends smell it, and make enemies frightened." ”

There was a cheer in all directions, and the arms were raised like a forest.

That night, a grand celebration was held in Liangshanzhai, with roaring bonfires, rough drums and the excited screams of dancers that continued all night.

At the climax of the ceremony, the viper was reduced to a puff of smoke by the flames, which gradually dissipated into the cold air of dawn under the gaze of countless people.

It is said that if there is no physical body left in this earthly world, the soul will be free from any worries and will smoothly ascend to the heavenly kingdom of eternal happiness.

Death is not terrible, as long as there are still people in the world who miss it, is it?
