I'm the one running the game

Since the copper tree totem didn't reveal anything, Lu Xingshi could only go mining. He worked hard for most of the day, and after looking at the sky, he decided to go back.

"The smelted bronze should be enough for me for three months."

But Lu Xingshi was in a dilemma. It was easy to mine copper ore, but it was a big problem to move it back.

"Forget it, just move it slowly." Lu Xingshi could only pick up a part of it and take it back first.

"Less?"

After collecting them, Lu Xingshi took a quick look and found a clue.

He didn't know exactly how much copper ore he had dug, but he still remembered the approximate amount.

"Fuck, half of it is missing? What the hell stole my ore!" Lu Xingshi looked at it and his face turned green... Oh, his skin was originally bronze, and although it faded a lot, it was indeed a little green.

He walked slowly towards the depths of the tunnel. At present, it can be confirmed that the beast that stole his ore is probably not very big.

Most large beasts make a lot of noise when they move, like Hui, who is five meters tall. He can't sneak even if he wants to.

To a certain extent, the size of the beast can actually represent its strength. The larger the size, the stronger its strength.

Take the Venom Dragon as an example. If it weren't old and injured, it would definitely be the ecological overlord of the surrounding area.

It's better to eat people directly than to eat ore.

In the darkness, a lantern-sized red light emerged, which almost scared Lu Xingshi.

Then he raised his fist without hesitation and blasted towards the light source.

In an instant, the red light broke, and then a large amount of hot juice splashed out, accompanied by a piercing wail, and the whole tunnel shook.

"Fuck, what the hell~"

Lu Xingshi's body was bumpy, and there were a lot of wounds on his skin. He endured the pain and ran out.

Then a lot of rustling sounds emerged in the whole tunnel, and it seemed to be getting agitated. Looking back, a lot of red lights as big as thumbs emerged in the tunnel.

Obviously, his previous guess was only half right.

The one who stole his copper mine was indeed a small beast, but it was just a cub, and there were many of them, and they also brought their mothers.

The lantern-sized red light just now was the eyeball of the big beast.

Judging from the sound, it was most likely an insect.

As Lu Xingshi ran out of the pit, a huge arthropod similar to a centipede rushed out, with a lot of small centipedes clinging to its body.

The big centipede was blind, and it only had one eye, and the other one was blown up by Lu Xingshi.

"Is this a blood-eyed millipede?"

Lu Xingshi stopped, with a look of "Fuck!" This was the name in the Qianyuan Realm. Killing it would get the blood-eyed golden crystal.

But in the current wild world, it is called the Blood Copper Beetle. The reason for this name is probably that it has blood copper and a shell, plus it looks like a bug. The so-called blood-eye gold crystal is blood copper.

"This kid is a reborn person, right? He knows this?" Lu Xingshi can be sure that the blood copper of the other party is probably from the blind eye of this blood copper beetle.

The blood copper beetle is definitely not an aboriginal. If there is such a beetle in the bronze mine, it would have been killed by the plow.

Lu Xingshi didn't see it when he came yesterday, so it must have come last night.

The adult eats everything, mainly meat, but the larvae of the blood copper beetle need to eat enough copper ore to help the shell grow.

If it does not take in enough copper ore, the shell will be more fragile.

After this blood copper beetle escaped from the tunnel, it crawled towards Lu Xingshi as soon as possible, and it looked like it was ready to eat Lu Xingshi up.

Lu Xingshi definitely didn't plan to escape.

Kill this blood copper beetle and dig out the insect bead to get a piece of high-quality blood copper.

Blood copper is indeed one of the associated minerals of copper mines, but the probability of production is extremely small. However, the insect bead of an adult blood copper beetle is blood copper. Of course, other parts may also be copperized, but in terms of quality, it is not as good as the blood copper bead.

Among the many blood copper sources, the blood copper bead is also among the top three.

A punch directly hit the head of the blood copper beetle, and a huge dent was immediately made.

"Its strength is average, and it is estimated that it is only about one-tenth of the venom flying dragon. It can be killed without cheating." Lu Xingshi took a step back and avoided the attack of the blood copper beetle.

Lu Xingshi's eyes fell on the larvae. Not only is the insect bead of this mother insect extremely valuable, but these larvae are also valuable.

Raise it, feed it enough copper ore and meat, and you can harvest a large number of blood copper beads.

At present, there are very few members in the entire tribe who have bloodline abilities. As one of them and a great contributor to the capture of the blood copper beetle, he will definitely be able to get a good share of the blood copper beetle after it grows up.

And after large-scale breeding, it can even be obtained continuously.

However, this idea only flashed through Lu Xingshi's mind. The Tongshu tribe can hardly afford to raise them, and raising so many beasts will probably starve them to death.

So it is estimated that only ten or so can be raised, and they will be killed and taken after they grow up, so it is impossible to form large-scale breeding.

Therefore, raising about five is enough. When the tribe grows up, Lu Xingshi can get another blood copper bead.

As for the other larvae, see if they can be taken to other tribes with bronze bloodlines as an exchange.

The blood copper beetle struggled to get up. It was not fierce this time. Lu Xingshi punched him. The blood copper beetle immediately understood that Lu Xingshi was a ruthless person and was not something it could deal with, so it turned around and ran away with the larvae.

How could Lu Xingshi let it run away, he chased after it in three or five steps, jumped on the blood copper beetle, used his hands and feet together, and immediately beat the insect's head to pieces.

Without having time to dig up the insect beads, I hurriedly gathered the larvae that had fled in all directions. After the mother worm died, these larvae also relied on their survival instinct to escape in all directions.

Lu Xingshi would have no way to catch them by himself. These little things are very fast and can burrow into the ground. They are gone in the blink of an eye.

"Fifteen..." Lu Xingshi's body was covered with blood copper beetle larvae similar to centipedes. He was still struggling with these things, but they were tightly bound by him and couldn't break free at all.

With difficulty, he dug out a fist-sized insect bead of blood copper. Although it was made of copper, it was extremely smooth, almost like the polished side of a bronze mirror.

He put it into the animal skin pocket and pulled out the eye stalks of the female blood copper beetle.

This is also a piece of blood copper, but unfortunately there is only one piece, and the other piece is missing. It was already blind before coming here.

It probably fell at the location where Ke took Ei to find it.

If they go today, they might actually be able to pick up the blood copper in the mouth of the man.

However, Lu Xingshi would most likely miss the blood copper beetle.

This thing would leave with the larvae after it had eaten and drank enough. How could it be waiting for Lu Xingshi to come back again?

If Lu Xingshi got the blood copper eyestalk, he would definitely eat it in the tribe and stay in the tribe instead of coming to mine.

The mother insect came in stealth and left quickly, so naturally no one in the Copper Tree Tribe knew about it.

The totem warriors of the tribe do not choose to hunt insect-like ferocious beasts. Most of them are meatless and poisonous.

Unless they encounter ferocious beasts such as blood copper beetles that can be beneficial to their bloodline, they will choose those with more meat.

After checking the blood copper beetle again, what was left was either the carapace or the solidified body fluid. The carapace was useless, but the solidified body fluid could ignite fire, but it was not valuable. I had to wait to get it back.

Carrying the things with me, I walked in the direction of the Bronze Tree Tribe while thinking about one thing in my mind.

It would indeed be a bit strange if the blood copper beetle injured its eye while fighting a ferocious beast nearby.

The blood copper beetle moves underground, not on the ground. However, being able to pick it up on the ground means that there is a high probability that the fight will take place on the ground.

What forces the blood copper beetle to give up its own habits?

The only thing that can make it go out of normal is something that will most likely affect life safety.

"I've never heard of anything existing underground." Lu Xingshi recalled the ferocious beasts around him. Speaking of the ferocious beasts at the bottom of lakes and rivers, there were indeed many powerful ones.

But there is really no way to find it underground. The Bronze Tree Tribe has never explored the underground situation at all. They barely meet the food and clothing requirements, so how can they think about anything else.

…

"Hui, I got the first totem spell." Ke walked into the camp and said.

This cheered up the frowning Hui: "Really? It seems that giving you the Pearl was indeed the right decision."

"What kind of totem spell is it?" Hui asked quickly.

"It's...bronze armor." Ke replied.

He was very satisfied with this totem spell, but Hui was stunned and finally said: "It's pretty good."

This totem spell can stimulate the bronze bloodline in one's body and generate a unique bronze armor for oneself. The duration and strength of the armor depend on one's own bronze bloodline, and can be cast five times a day.

He also has paintings, but the flaw is also obvious, that is, he can only use it on himself and cannot inflict it on others.

However, as a witch, there is no need to go out hunting, and there are very few times when it is necessary to fight. Obtaining this totem spell is almost useless to the tribe.

Even if he was arranged to go hunting, with his current bloodline concentration, whether it was the strength or duration of the armor, it would be of no use at all.

You must know that the totem spell can only be cast in the tribe. Even if it is released on the body five times, the bronze armor will not last long, and it may disappear before the hunting starts.

It's not like Lu's first totem spell is the violent war cry, which is a strong boost for the entire tribe.

"Not bad, very good."

"With this totem spell, when your bloodline concentration increases, you will be able to help the tribe hunt." Hui comforted him, but he was worried that Ke would not be able to think about it.

It's just that for Ke, he wants to leave, so this type of totem spell is suitable for him.

However, he overlooked one thing. After leaving the tribe, how to cast totem spells without a totem?
