Hearing Rong's words, Xi's happy expression instantly changed, and her originally smiling face became cold.
"You shouldn't have forgotten Lord Totem's words, right?"
"He said that he doesn't allow us to develop the tribe in his name because we're too weak now. He's afraid that we'll experience the destruction of the tribe again!"
Her happy voice rose bit by bit, making Rong frown.
Then, he thought of something and smiled…
"Alright, I reject the Sunflower Tree Tribe!"
Beside the fierce bear meat, the black egg's body swayed gently, and a piece of the fierce bear meat turned grayish-white.
Xi held the fierce bear meat Rong had forcefully stuffed into her hand but did not eat it. Instead, she sat on the spot in a daze and looked at the calm lake, thinking of her deceased parents.
After swallowing a piece of fierce bear meat in two to three bites, Rong stood up and walked into Su Mu's cave.
When he passed by Xi, he patted her shoulder gently…
"In ten more sunsets, we need to return to the Southern Region to pay our respects to our parents."
With that said, he did not stay long and left.
Xi looked at the fierce bear meat in her hand in a daze and did not respond to Rong. Instead, she nodded slightly.
The originally happy bonfire barbecue ended in a hurry.
The black egg beside the fierce bear meat seemed to have eaten its fill as its figure jumped to Xi's feet.
It rubbed against Xi's muscular calf before standing on the spot three meters back.
Xi smiled happily…
"Lord, same old?"
The black egg shook its body slightly, as if it was saying, "Same old."
After stuffing the fierce bear meat in her hand into her mouth, she was overjoyed and focused on the Fire Element Breathing Technique…
Phew ~
A flame roasted the black egg's body…
Under the roasting of this flame, the black egg became darker and darker. Its egg body quickly swayed, as if it was showing its happy mood…
Xi's happy gaze inadvertently landed on Rong, who was standing outside Su Mu's cave…
She sighed in his heart. "Yes, you're the only family I have…"
…
Five minutes after Xi left, Su Mu ended his cultivation.
After these 17 years of cultivation, although his own stats had not changed, his understanding of the Five Elements Breathing Technique had become deeper.
After eating the fierce bear meat that was brought over by Xi at a leisurely pace, he heard faint footsteps from outside…
He frowned and smiled bitterly…
"I shouldn't have been polite to these straightforward and boorish people!"
Seventeen years ago, in order to enlighten Rong, Su Mu told Rong a simple story about the First Emperor.
It was not that Su Mu did not want to talk about it properly, but his memory was really limited…
It was also after that day that Rong seemed to have become a different person.
He had become a person who yearned for knowledge.
This personality was like an anomaly in the current wilderness!
However, Su Mu thought at that time that Rong's passion was only temporary. Therefore, in order to maintain an all-knowing image as a totem, Su Mu told another simple story of Li Er ascending the throne.
The core of the story was still to tell Rong that he had to be stable, learn to endure, and know how to accumulate his strength.
At that time, Rong was shocked.
Only then did he discover that people who achieved great things were all stable!
None of them had the flamboyant personality he used to have!
At that time, Su Mu saw that the effect of his words was not bad.
He casually asked, "If you want, you can come and find me every thirty sunsets."
To be honest, Su Mu was only being polite at that time.
In his opinion, as a high-end muscular tribesman, how could it be possible for the other party to enjoy listening to his stories?
"Really?!
"Sir, I'll be there on time!"
However…
Rong's answer stunned Su Mu.
Su Mu wished he could slap himself. Why did he have to talk so much for no reason!
Ever since then, Rong would look for Su Mu every 30 sunsets and was very punctual…
After that, a new line was added to the Fire Tribe's sacrificial manual:
61: For every 30 sunsets, under the lead of the leader, the totem will need to be paid a visit.
…
"Come in…"
In the cave, Su Mu braced himself and shouted.
The three-meter-tall man lowered his head slightly and walked in.
After entering, he squatted at the entrance of the cave according to what Su Mu had taught him and placed his hands on his knees.
Like a student listening attentively, he quietly waited for Su Mu to speak.
At this moment, Su Mu's previous frown disappeared. He had a smile on his face and one hand behind his back, looking like a mysterious expert.
No matter what, as a totem, he had disguised himself very well…
He slowly walked two meters in front of Rong and coughed lightly before starting today's class…
"Today, we'll revise again. Let's talk about the story where the protagonist started with a bowl but ended up unifying the tribe."
Rong's eyes flickered. He liked this story very much.
This was because he had found a connection with the protagonist of this story.
Leader Zhu had a low status and was exiled by the tribe. In the end, he relied on his stability to unify the tribe.
On the other hand, Rong's tribe had been destroyed. Now, it was basically equivalent to exile…
Therefore, Rong believed that sooner or later, he would spread the reputation of the Fire Tribe to all the lands!
As Su Mu racked his brains to tell the modified version of Zhu Yuanzhang's story, he cursed the Fire Tribe in his heart.
If not for the fact that the Fire Tribe had destroyed the tribe Rong had established, would he have needed to give a class every month?!
Coincidentally, Rong had never said the name of the tribe he had created. It was not that he did not want to say it, but he had obtained the name of the tribe after praying to Su Mu.
Coupled with the fact that the Fire Tribe had been destroyed in his hands, he was really too ashamed to mention it, so…
He had never called his tribe the Fire Tribe, nor had he ever said that the tribe's name was the Fire Tribe…
As for Su Mu, he had once thought of asking what the tribe they had established was.
Later on, he thought about it. As a tribal totem, he did not even know the name of his own tribe. If this got out, how could he survive in the totem world?
Coupled with the fact that their tribe had been destroyed, Su Mu did not want to mention this and expose their scars. After all, in a sense, they had also died because of this…
Moreover, Su Mu was somewhat unwilling to ask because these burly men could not come up with any nice names at all.
Green Snake Tribe, Tree Tribe…
These were all horrible names!
He even suspected that the tribe they had created with his totem was called something along the lines of "Skinny Tribe" or the "Human Tribe".
Therefore, in the past seventeen years, both sides had assumed that the other party knew about the Fire Tribe…
In the cave, Su Mu told the story of the unification of the tribe that he had already told more than ten times.
He repeatedly emphasized that the main reason as to why the Zhu Unity Tribe was so stable…
Although Rong had heard it many times, he still listened with relish because every time Lord Totem explained, it was a new story…
