I'm the one running the game

Lü Xingshi and Wo packed their bags and set off soon.

The larvae of the blood copper beetle were frozen by Hui's totem magic. They would be fine if they didn't eat or drink for a month. When they arrived at the Fire Copper Tribe, the witch of their tribe would be able to unseal them.

"I heard that when Ke came back and knew that you were arranged by Hui to go to the Fire Copper Tribe to exchange for fire copper, his face was so ugly." Wo said with some gloating.

"When did he come back? How come I didn't know?" Lu Xingshi thought Ke had run away, but he didn't expect him to come back.

After all, he was sneaky when he left, which was not much different from running away after committing a crime.

"He came back when you and Hui went to the tunnel behind the tribe to catch the larvae."

"You came to me as soon as you caught it, so you definitely didn't meet."

"But this kid is really lucky. I don't know where he picked up a piece of blood copper, and after eating it, he actually gave birth to bloodline abilities." Wo's expression was full of envy.

"Oh, he's always lucky." Lu Xingshi was not surprised. The other party was really strong-willed. He ate it directly. He thought he would wait until the blood concentration was higher before taking it.

Wo was chattering with Lu Xingshi about the things in the tribe, but these things... Lu Xingshi also knew.

The Tongshu tribe was only this big, and he helped with various tasks every day, and he could hear a lot of gossip.

However, once gossip spreads, it is easy to become an outrageous version. Fortunately, there are not many people, otherwise it will become another news from the beginning to the end of the village.

"But I always feel that there seems to be something strange about Ke." Wo opened his mouth and withdrew the topic back to Ke.

"Strange? Where?" Lu Xingshi asked puzzledly. He knew that Ke had problems, but how could Wo, an eight-year-old man, see it.

"I think he seems to want to kill me." Wo hesitated and said what he thought.

This made Lu Xingshi frown. He only dared to say this when he was far away from the Tongshu tribe, and when Lu Xingshi was alone. Otherwise, he would just treat it as an accident in the tribe.

"He wants to kill you? That shouldn't be the case. You haven't offended him."

"What do you think?" Lu Xingshi continued to ask.

Although Ke was withdrawn, he was not bullied. The other party was too disappointing. After a while, no one wanted to play with him, and gradually ignored him.

It's not that everyone didn't try to contact them, but he didn't want to contact them. What else can we do? We can't just stick our faces to the cold buttocks.

Besides, it's true that there is less work to do before adulthood, but it's not that there is no work. No one wants to play with an indifferent person after work.

It's not that they owe him.

Over time, Ke became more withdrawn.

As for the adults in the tribe? They live more, and the whole tribe is like free-range. For the livelihood of the whole tribe, where is the time to take care of these things.

"No, it's just a feeling." Wo said in embarrassment. He really didn't have any clues or evidence, not even any ideas.

"Then leave him alone. You can't just do something because you feel something." Lu Xingshi smiled.

He didn't tell the truth. Wo's perception was indeed sharp, and he could actually detect Ke's malicious intentions.

Lu Xingshi suspected that Ke might have intercepted Wo's opportunity, and this opportunity was not small, so he was worried about leaking it, so he had malicious intentions.

The initial guess was that Ke had obtained the qualifications of a witch, and this opportunity might have originally belonged to Wo.

However, since he had already got it and couldn't take it out now, Lu Xingshi naturally couldn't break up with Ke because of such a thing that had no evidence to support it.

If he really wanted to bring it up, it was actually a fictitious thing.

"Yes, it might be my illusion."

"I had this feeling during the period after awakening my bloodline, and then it gradually disappeared." Wo heard Lu Xingshi say this, and it was true that he had a knot in his heart, but he also let go of some ideas.

The two quickly left the hunting range of the Tongshu tribe. After leaving here, everything was unknown.

They had never left. In fact, most people in the tribe had never left the Tongshu tribe and the hunting range. Their understanding of everything depended on this.

They couldn't even make a living, so it was impossible for them to think about poetry and distant places. Filling their stomachs and filling their granaries were what they had to consider.

Before they had taken two steps, Lu Xingshi suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Snail asked in confusion.

Lu Xingshi didn't answer, but his eyes fell on the roots of the trees exposed above the soil.

"The roots are empty." Lu Xingshi said, squatting down and pulling. The originally raised roots were left with only a layer of bark, and the inside was empty, as if it had been eaten away by something.

"This thing only eats tree roots."

After checking several more trees, Lu Xingshi came to the conclusion.

"What kind of beast is this? Why is it so cruel?" Snail was also a little unbelievable.

"It must be an insect. I suspect that the other eye of the blood copper beetle queen was probably blinded by this insect beast." Lu Xingshi responded and picked up the remaining bark of the tree root to examine it carefully.

It can be seen that there are some bite marks on it.

"No, no..." Lu Xingshi overturned it again.

This is not an insect beast, but a group of insect beasts. They are not big in size but very numerous.

Just now he thought it was a larva eating and growing, but now it seems that it is not the case. It is more like a locust passing through.

However, compared to locusts, the diet of these insect beasts is extremely limited. They only choose to eat tree roots instead of trees.

"The good news is that these insect beasts left by brushing against our tribe's hunting area and did not enter the tribe's territory."

Based on the traces formed by many tree roots, Lu Xingshi estimated that these insect beasts had left for a while, and there was no Tongshu tribe in their route.

"Then should we remind them?" Snail said worriedly.

"No, they have already left anyway, so there is no need for us to go back." Lu Xingshi responded.

It has already happened, why remind them? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to fight wits and courage with the air?

"It's not too late to talk about it after we return from the Fire Copper Tribe. It's not a big deal anyway."

"Even if we meet them, don't worry too much. This group of unknown insect beasts is likely to only eat tree roots."

"If they really eat meat, they wouldn't have missed even a skeleton of other beasts. They can't have eaten all the bones."

"And there have been no problems with hunting these days, which means that the number of beasts in the hunting area has not decreased." Lu Xingshi came to a conclusion based on the existing data at hand.

"Lu, what if this group of beasts is devouring around the forest, and we just didn't meet them." Snail said worriedly.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he also fell silent.

"Then we can't just walk around the hunting area... How long will it take to finish the walk."

"You and I can handle it, but the larvae of the blood copper beetle can't." Lu Xingshi also noticed the clues, but the problem is that unless he turns back, he can't solve it now.

And what can't wait is not only the larvae of the blood copper beetle, but also the top fire copper of the fire copper tribe. If he goes a step late and is eaten by others, then Lu Xingshi will lose a lot.

"Okay, then wait until you come back." Snail didn't continue to argue with Lu Xingshi. As Lu Xingshi said, it doesn't eat people, what can happen, and it hasn't entered the hunting area, so the impact is not big and can be ignored.

Otherwise, if you are serious, there are all kinds of unknowns not only outside the hunting area, but also inside the hunting area. Everyone is just muddling along.

However, Lu Xingshi said that it didn't matter, but he remembered this matter in his heart. It won't be too late to investigate it when he comes back next time.

"Let's go, let's go and come back quickly, don't delay on the way."

After noticing the strange thing, Lu Xingshi didn't have much idea of ​​walking slowly, so he wanted to make a quick decision to avoid any changes.

Snail naturally had no objection, but when Lu Xingshi ran, he almost didn't catch up.

"It's worthy of the perfect concentration of bronze blood, and it has bloodline ability to accompany it, it's really extraordinary." Wo sighed.

Compared with Lu Xingshi, his bronze bloodline is so low that it's embarrassing. You know, Lu Xingshi has only guided his bloodline once through the totem, and he has done it for the third time, but the gap is still so big.

…

"Top-grade fire essence copper..." Ke gritted his teeth. When he heard Hui arranged for Lu and Wo to go to the Fire Copper Tribe to exchange blood copper beetle larvae for fire essence copper, his face turned very ugly.

He naturally knew about this matter. In his previous life, it was still a big deal. Later, this piece of top-grade fire essence copper disappeared. It was said that it was intercepted by the people of the Silver King's Court and then returned to the hands of the Bronze King's Court.

However, now, it was taken away before it even started, and there would definitely be no follow-up.

"But if we calculate the time, the White Disaster should have finished the first wave of feeding and started to hibernate."

"The Black Disaster may have hibernated underground..."

Thinking of this, he was terrified. The Black and White Disasters were the culprits that destroyed the Copper Tree Tribe.

The Black Disaster was a huge underground beast, and the White Disaster was a group of insects that were only the size of a thumb.

These two disasters not only destroyed the Copper Tree Tribe, but also many surrounding tribes. However, the first to be destroyed was the Copper Tree Tribe, and later even severely damaged the Bronze King Court. If the Bronze King Court had not defeated the Gold and Silver King Courts at that time, the outcome would still be unknown.

"There is still time. I hope Lu will bring back the top-level Fire Essence Copper instead of eating it halfway." A gleam of light appeared in Lu's eyes. At that time, he would directly take the Fire Essence Copper and leave the Copper Tree Tribe.

For this top-level Fire Essence Copper, it is worth leaving the tribe early.

As for being eaten, then...he has no way.

This piece of top-grade fire copper was actually within his reach, but he didn't expect Lu Xingshi to have such a coincidence, and with Hui's help, his plan was disrupted.

He didn't even have time to react, and he missed it.
