Empire: Invincible Valkyrie

Chapter 4 Thunder Rolls
At night, the bright moon hangs high.

Halfway up the wild boar mountain, a bonfire lit up the cold night, and the fiery light illuminated the faces of Chu Ge and Wu Hong. They were slowly enjoying the roast mutton prepared by the horse bandits.

Zug tied several bandages on his body, and a special herbal medicine was applied to the wound, which slightly oozes blood.

"Crack...crack..." The firewood and dry horse dung were burning, crackling.

"Spend the night here first, and leave tomorrow morning." Zug cut off a piece of roast lamb with a knife in his hand, and chewed it slowly in his mouth. If you meet a group of bandits again, you will be in big trouble.

"Yeah." Wo Hong stuffed the meat to the brim, his mouth was full of oil, and he hadn't eaten for several days. How could he bear this delicious barbecue.

"Hic~~" Wohong burped contentedly, leaning against the mountain wall beside him.

Today is a very important day for Wo Hong, not only escaped from the danger of death, but also has a reliable person to take care of him, and also saw the power of the totem.

Although I have heard of totems a long time ago, they are only used in battle today.

Wo Hong thought of the Sirius totem behind him, but he didn't expect it to help him, or could it be food protection?But no matter what, the Sirius totem saved his life, and it saved Chug's life.

Although it always feels a little different, this totem seems to be conscious, and it is very different from those horse bandits and uncles who freely control it.

However, if you want to become stronger, you can't just rely on the Sirius totem, it is full of too many unknowns, you must have one that you can master, and Sirius is not a good god in the legend.

The herdsmen in the entire grassland have heard stories about Heavenly Father, Sirius, and Wolf Mother. After all, there are only a few legends and cultures in the grassland. My father also liked to tell these stories to them during his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Wo Hong's expression suddenly darkened. If his parents were still around, how could he suffer so much...

"You, don't tell anyone about the Sirius Totem."

Suddenly, Zuge looked at Wohong who was leaning against the mountain wall with a serious expression.

"Ah?... Oh, yes, Uncle." Wo Hong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded quickly. Although he didn't know why Chu Ge told him this, he didn't dare to disobey Chu Ge at all. What did Uncle say? That's what it is.

After all, people are under the eaves, how can they be disobedient.

"Sirius represents an ominous force." Zuge seemed to know what Wohong was thinking, and explained it seriously.

"You are the only child who survived the ritual of living sacrifice. Although I don't know why you can bear the totem of Sirius, Sirius is standing on the opposite side of Heavenly Father, Wolf Mother and other righteous gods. If those priests and pious Herdsmen know that it may bring you unnecessary trouble."

"It's best not to show this power in the future, understand?" Chu Ge looked at Wo Hong seriously.

"Well, I understand." Wo Hong also nodded solemnly. After hearing so much, how could he not be clear, since Sirius absorbed the life energy of those people and the power of the totem, he could clearly feel that he was changing. powerful.

Such an evil power, before he becomes strong enough, he will definitely not be able to show it to others.

Seeing Wo Hong's serious response, Zuge heaved a sigh of relief. He put his hands on his head and lay down on the wool blanket under his buttocks.

"I promised your father that if your family encounters any difficulties, you must help." Zug's tone relaxed.

"At least...help him preserve the blood of your family."

He looked up at the stone wall at the top, and his eyes flashed those days when he and Wu Hong's father rode horses on the grassland and killed the enemy together.

"Do you hate those shamans?" Zuge tilted his head to look at Wohong, "Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's chat casually."

"Hate!!!" Wo Hong's face was directly gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and his angry and hateful eyes were shining coldly under the light of the fire.

He clenched his fists tightly, and the hatred buried in his heart was ignited like a raging fire.

"Well, it's good to hate, do you want to kill them?" Chu Ge nodded with some relief, looking at Wo Hong's distorted face of hatred, intending to enlighten his child for someone.

"Of course!!" The more Wo Hong thought about it, the more angry he became, looking like a little wolf.

"Hahaha...well, you plan to kill them, very good, they are a man on the prairie, just like your father, who will take revenge." Chu Gelang laughed a few times and sat up.

"So, what then?" Chu Ge looked at Wo Hong quietly.

"Ah? What then?" Wo Hong was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zuge.

"I mean, after killing them, what are your plans?" Zug said lightly.

"I didn't think about it." Wo Hong shook his head. There have been too many changes these days. First, his father died in battle, his mother remarried, and then he lived with his brothers and sisters in the tribe, and he was sacrificed alive. Thought I wouldn't be alive.

"Maybe, let's go out on the grassland and live a peaceful life with my family."

Wo Hong thought for a while, when he had great power and avenged his revenge, he might work hard under someone, maybe eventually he would unify the grassland tribes, get married, and live like this for the rest of his life.

Wo Hong didn't think much about it, his current strength didn't allow him to have too much delusional thinking, and even the cheat, he didn't know what the conditions would be for the next activation.

"Power..." This word flashed in Wu Hong's mind, yes, the prerequisite for doing all this is to have enough power!
Wohong's confused future suddenly became clear at this moment.

Wo Hong fiercely looked at Zuge, met his eyes straightly, and said seriously: "Uncle, please help me become stronger!"

"Only if I have enough power, can I protect myself! Protect my family! Revenge! Live the life I want to live! Hold my own destiny in my own hands!!!"

"Okay!" Zug's eyes were full of ambition, and he nodded in relief.

What could make him happier than seeing a wolf pup want to be a real gray wolf?

"Tell me, Aylit Wohong, what do you need!"

"Totem!! I need a new totem! A totem that can be mastered!" Wo Hong thought for a while, a light flashed in his eyes, and his goal became clear at once.

"Boom!!!!!!"

"Crack!! Boom boom boom!!!"

At this moment, a terrifying thunderbolt struck from the sky, and it struck down with a click, interweaving terrifying grids in the dark sky, and the vast grasslands were illuminated by the light of the thunderbolt.

Wo Hong was taken aback, his expression was numb, and he looked at the thunder and lightning that kept falling.

How can there be dark clouds in this weather?And there is lightning, generally speaking, such a thing is impossible in dry weather, and it is precisely because of this that Wo Hong was taken aback.

"Huh?" Wo Hong looked at the cloud, only felt that there was a figure looking at him in the sky, but when he looked closely, he disappeared.

After wiping his eyes, it should be vertigo, Wo Hong thought so.

"Hehe, Heavenly Father is angry, Xiao Hong. It seems that the great Heavenly Father does not want you to have a new totem." Zug looked at the thunder and lightning with an unchanged expression, but there was no fear in his eyes.

"No!!!" Wo Hong was anxious, "Uncle, I'm not afraid of Heavenly Father! I'm not afraid of the so-called Heavenly Punishment!" He thought that Chu Ge would give up helping him because of the thunder.

"If there is no power! I would rather die!!!"

"Hahahahaha..." Chu Ge slapped his legs and laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! The herdsmen on the grassland are afraid of Heavenly Father, and they are all afraid of the thunder. I didn't expect that you, a little baby, are not afraid!"

The sky was bright with traces, and the purple-blue lightning, with a little white light, was constantly tumbling in the clouds. The terrifying power made almost all animals tremble.

The wind was blowing, scattered dry grass and leaves were blowing everywhere with the wind, and the withered grass on the grassland fell down layer by layer like ears of wheat.

"Woo!!..." On the edge of the hillside, several war horses beside the carriage kept neighing, their eyes were terrified, and they kept panting heavily.

"There are many types of totems. Do you want to inherit your father's totem, or mine?" Chu Ge looked at Wo Hong very flatly. He is a warrior who has experienced life and death. He is not afraid. What kind of thunder is this? .

"Uncle, I want to inherit your totem!" Wo Hong thought for a while, and said with very firm eyes.

"Oh?" Zug was slightly surprised, with some displeasure between his brows.

"Although I really want to inherit my father's totem, it is not suitable for me now. First of all, there is no relevant person to teach me how to use it, because my parents are not by my side, and the clansmen who want to rely on me , is also impossible.”

"After all, the moment they pushed me onto the living altar, I never wanted to have anything to do with them again. If I rely on my own groping, or a few words you tell me, it will definitely affect my strength improvement." Wo Hong Seeing Zug's expression, he explained calmly.

"If my strength is strong enough, I can completely let my children return to the tribe when they grow up and inherit their father's totem. Moreover, with my older brothers and younger brothers, my family's totem will not be cut off."

"So, I want to inherit your totem, accept your teachings, and become stronger quickly! After all, no one can guarantee that you will always protect me, right?" Wohong looked at Zuge seriously.

Chu Ge looked at Wo Hong with some surprises. He had such insights at a young age, and was able to consider issues so comprehensively. He deserved to be the son of a friend.

"Okay! If that's the case, then after you and I return to the tribe, be ready to accept my tribe's totem."

"Calculating the time, it just so happens that within a few days of our return, it's time for my tribe to inherit the totem."

"However, in this case, you need to adopt my lineage, otherwise the elders in my family will not agree." Chu Ge said worriedly.

"Father is here! My son kowtows to you." Wu Hong knelt down without hesitation, and kowtowed three times to Zuge.

His eyes were determined, without a trace of distracting thoughts.

"Good! Good! Good!" Chu Ge was overjoyed, and quickly got up to help Wo Hong up.

"Hong'er, don't worry, father will never treat you badly." This child is so sensible, Chu Ge was delighted, the more he looked at him, the more pleasing he was, and he couldn't help nodding.

At this moment, the relationship between Wo Hong and Zu Ge became closer instantly, and the communication between the two did not have the same vitality as before.

Wo Hong had already thought about it. In order to gain strength, he could give up everything else. Besides, Chu Ge saved his life and was his father's comrade in arms. He had nothing to hesitate.

Chu Ge sat next to Wohong, with an arm directly around his shoulder.

"Hong'er, listen, the totem is just a container, and its root is the spirit in the totem. With a spirit, you can absorb the power between heaven and earth. We can not only have one spirit, but many."

"The more spirits you have, the more attack methods you have, but at the same time, the more you spend on raising them. Each spirit needs different food. Some spirits eat grass, while others eat grass. Earth, but those foods are not ordinary, and most of them need primordial stones to buy."

Zu Ge explained everything he knew to Wu Hong without any reservation.

"If you can't satisfy the spirit, at least they will flee, and your cultivation base will be lost, at worst, you will suffer backlash and die!!!"

"My golden eagle totem needs to eat meat, a lot of meat. There is nothing special about the meat, it's just ordinary. Just add some primordial stones when you eat it."

"Up to now, my totem has reached the third level. The higher the level of the totem, the longer the feeding interval, and the more power it can preserve. My totem only needs to be fed once a month."

"However, with my strength, I can only be an upper-middle on the grassland. There are many people who are stronger than me. Many young shamans are second-level. It is not easy for you to kill them now, unless there are enough people. drain their strength."

Zuge talked tirelessly, and Wohong listened very carefully. After a while, both of them fell asleep by the fire.

...............

"Crack..." A thunder from the sky rumbled down.

A huge figure, under the cover of the thunder, unknowingly approached the fire where Zug and the others were, and raised a steel knife high in his hand.

"Crack!!!" The rolling purple thunder fell.

"噗!" The moment the knife shadow fell, out of instinct, Chu Ge suddenly opened his eyes, pulled out the steel knife in his hand, and faced the person in front of him directly.

"Huh?" Wo Hong in his sleep was awakened by the sound of weapons colliding. He slowly opened his eyes, sat up and looked in the direction of the sound.

Ten meters away, two figures, one large and one small, kept colliding with steel knives.

"What... what?" Wo Hong was startled. With the help of Lei Guang, Wu Hong saw clearly that the man who was fighting Chu Ge was as strong as a bull, and his muscles were like beasts. Gedu could only dodge and occasionally fight back, barely coping with it.

Seeing that Zuge was at a disadvantage, Wu Hong quickly pulled out the knife from his bosom, and ran over quickly.

Can't let him die, Wohong finally has someone he can rely on, and he must never lose it again!

Wo Hong seemed to be insane, galloping towards him, his eyes were scarlet.

After running to a distance of nearly two meters, Wo Hong jumped up behind the man, pointing the knife in his hand straight at the man's neck.
