Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 139: Golden Cicadas Sing in Summer, Road to Collect Four Gods

Chen Yao stopped and looked at the corpses in the village that were not completely eaten because the evil spirits were burned to death, feeling a little confused.

"Why did the power of protection in this village suddenly disappear?"

Chen Yao asked the camel beast to stay where it was, while he controlled his clone to move towards the center of the village.

Because the village was not big, the clone soon reached the tree in the middle.

"No magical feeling at all?"

Chen Yao used his divine sense to look at the tree, but it looked exactly like an ordinary tree, without any magical look at all.

"Could it be that too many demons will turn the gods back to their original form?"

Chen Yao made random guesses.

Then, the clone stepped forward and raised a finger.

A flame of faith appeared at the fingertips.

As he got closer to the tree trunk, Chen Yao became even more confused.

Logically speaking, when the fire of faith encounters a divine entity, if the other party is not a believer of Chen Yao, it will be destroyed.

Just like the stone god, Xiaobai and snake staff.

But the tree didn't do that. Not only that, when Chen Yao had the idea of ​​catalyzing the tree, the tree directly absorbed the fire of faith.

Looking at the trees that had turned a little greener, Chen Yao remained silent.

Only ordinary plants and the gods that become believers will be catalyzed when they encounter the fire of faith.

This tree is either an ordinary tree or a follower of Chen Yao.

After eliminating an impossible answer, there is only one truth.

This is just an ordinary tree.

Just when Chen Yao thought that the magic here was really gone and was about to leave.

Suddenly, he saw something on the tree.

"This is……"

On the branch, there is a dark golden cicada shell.

As his divine sense swept over, Chen Yao felt a familiar feeling coming from the cicada shell.

"Spiritual creature!"

Looking at the cicada shell in his hand, Chen Yao naturally understood that he had come to the wrong village.

The reason why the tree is in the center of the village is not because it is magical, but because the magic lies in it.

In this way, Chen Yao also had a guess.

Originally, there were gods and spirits in this village, but after the evil spirits rushed into the village, perhaps because there were too many of them, the gods and spirits in the village could not withstand them and ran away.

The cicada shell in his hand also reminded Chen Yao of a word.

The golden cicada escapes its shell.

"What a pity. If we don't drive these evil spirits here and collect the supernatural powers here first, we might have a stable source of totems and spiritual objects."

Chen Yao sighed, grabbed the cicada shell and returned to the camel beast.

As for the things in this village, Chen Yao looked down upon them.

Compared to the things already packed inside the Camel Beast, the things here are not necessary for the Wanzu Village.

After taking another look, Chen Yao urged the camel beast to leave.

Except for the ones that were just killed in the village, the other demons that were chased away before had already disappeared.

However, Chen Yao believed that it would not be long before another group of them would gather in the direction he was heading.

But next time you encounter a village, you won’t be able to just rush through.

Otherwise, the current village will serve as a lesson for us.
So, an hour later.

Hundreds of demons gathered in front of Chen Yao. He had seen so many of them that he was no longer interested in them.

At this moment, something suddenly entered the edge of Chen Yao's protection range.

Then it flashed by because of the camel's movement.

Chen Yao didn't see clearly what it was.

Let the camel beast stop and retreat hundreds of feet.

That thing entered the protected area again.

When Chen Yao saw the thing clearly, he immediately said in a strange tone: "What a coincidence?"

Yes, it’s such a coincidence.

Chen Yao appeared under a tree, looking at the hint of gold emerging from a branch of the tree.

Then he took a photo of it directly.

Looking at the golden cicada in his hand, he took out the cicada shell he had just taken out.

Comparing the two, it's neither too big nor too small, just right.

"That's amazing. You must have run for dozens of miles, right?"

Chen Yao made some estimation and came to a conclusion.

Fortunately, the supernatural power itself is very special, and Chen Yao can sense it when he enters the protected area.

Otherwise, if it was still a cicada shell this time, Chen Yao would not have noticed it at all.

Afterwards, Chen Yao returned to the camel beast and continued to move forward.

Only this time, he had someone he could communicate with.

"Why did you run away just now?"

Chen Yao’s spiritual consciousness penetrated deep into the golden cicada in his hand.

He had just seen that this golden cicada was not a real living creature.

It might be more accurate to say that it is more like a fossil.

This is also in line with Chen Yao's concept.

It is born with supernatural powers and cannot be a living creature.

When Chen Yao asked that question, the golden cicada in his hand also responded.

Compared to the many magical creatures that Chen Yao already knew, this golden cicada was relatively mild-mannered.

Just slightly worse than Xiao Liu.

After hearing Jin Chan's reply, Chen Yao also understood why he had escaped before.

Just as Chen Yao guessed, the magical power of protection is not infinite.

It is enough to replenish it during the day and consume it at night.

However, if you encounter the attack of evil spirits, the power of protection will be consumed faster.

Like the Golden Cicada, it only takes about three hundred evil spirits to consume all of its stored power of protection.

When Chen Yao heard this, he was a little surprised.

Does the power of protection need to be stored?
Why didn't he save it?

Also, along the way, he has killed nearly a thousand demons.

Even if it hasn't reached the limit, it should have consumed a lot, right?
But Chen Yao didn't feel anything at all.

It seems that his gift of blessing is different from other magical ones?
Just like... other magical powers of protection are aura abilities that consume mana.

And his power of protection is passive?
Chen Yao was puzzled, but this was not a bad thing for him, so there was no need to worry about it anymore.

After chatting with Jin Chan for a while, Chen Yao revealed his original thoughts.

"Are you willing to become my believer? Then you won't have to worry about the evil spirits attacking you or shedding your shell and running away."

"If my guess is correct, there is a price to pay for every time you shed your shell, right?"

When Chen Yao discovered Jin Chan before, he felt that his presence was very weak.

It doesn't look like a three hundred foot magical thing.

Of course, it is also possible that the golden cicada has similar means of hiding as the weather vane.

But Chen Yao didn't mind making a guess. It wouldn't matter if he guessed wrong.

After hearing Chen Yao's words, the golden light on Jin Chan's body flickered.

Just when Chen Yao was secretly on guard, fearing that the golden cicada would shed its shell and run away again, the hint from the believers appeared in his mind.

Chen Yao nodded with satisfaction.

Children can be taught.

At least it’s not like Xiaobai and Mo Ana before, who had to be beaten before they behaved.

After accepting the Golden Cicada, the Golden Cicada's totem also appeared on Chen Yao's panel. What surprised Chen Yao was that the Golden Cicada's totem was called the Golden Cicada!

[Golden Cicada: An ancient spiritual insect, often used by the witch tribe to temper gold, edible]

[Totem Power: Shedding, Gold Tempering, Mingxia]

【Believers: Cicada】

When Chen Yao saw the Wu Clan, he knew something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, at the end of the description, the word "edible" was again.

The ancient witch clan really believed that everything is edible?
While laughing, Chen Yao looked at the totem power of the golden cicada.

[Shelling] means that one can shed one shell and stay in the original place, and the main body will appear at any designated location within ten thousand miles.

But according to Jin Chan, He can only appear within a range of one hundred miles, and at a random location.

It was really a coincidence that Chen Yao met Him.

Not only that, there are also sequelae after the cicada sheds its shell.

That means your strength will drop to the bottom and you will become like a blank slate, just like living your life all over again.

However, the time it takes to recover strength after molting will be much faster.

It often changes every day.

Although the sequelae are serious, Chen Yao feels that compared to losing his life, this level of side effects is still acceptable.

Especially for those important figures in Wanzu Village.

The value of being alive is definitely greater than being dead.

Suddenly, Chen Yao thought of something.

Since it is shedding the shell and being reborn, can the broken limbs be restored after rebirth?
Chen Yao asked this question, but Jin Chan did not give an answer.

Because He only shed His shell this time, His body was intact, and He did not know whether the missing parts would be made up after He shed His shell and was reborn.

Chen Yao secretly took note of this point and might have to try it again in the future.

After all, the family's chief steward is still single.

Afterwards, Chen Yao looked at the other two totem powers.

[Quenching Gold]: It can make everything acquire the properties of gold of the five elements.

【Mingxia】: The temperature in a certain area continues to rise
Of the two totem powers, [Quenching Gold] is easy to understand and seems to be somewhat useful.

But it’s hard to say about [Mingxia].

According to what I learned from Liu Wudi before, in the Shiwan Mountains, apart from winter and spring, autumn and summer are almost imperceptible.

Only when you leave the Ten Thousand Mountains and go to the area where the human kingdom is located, will you have a clear perception.

Now that [Mingxia] has appeared, does it mean that there will be no winter in Wanzu Village from now on?

Chen Yao had only been awakened from this world for about two months and had no idea what winter was like in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Maybe it’s not cold at all?

In this case, [Ming Xia] is somewhat useless.

But then Chen Yao thought about it and decided that these were all unexpected surprises and there was no need to think too much about it.

Be content with what you have.

Thinking of this, Chen Yao didn't care anymore.

……

Two days later.

The village of all races.

Liu Wudi was watching the more than 300 reserve villagers working.

These more than 300 people arrived at Wanzu Village two days before the great changes in Wanzu Village, and it has been less than five days so far.

But compared to the villagers who had taken the assessment for the same five days before, these people seemed much more serious.

There is a sense of sharing hardships together, as well as the feelings of building a new village together.

Compared to integrating into an already existing village, building a new village together makes them more excited.

Liu Wudi estimated that even if these people were dragged to worship the Pillar God now, there would be no one who would be expelled by the Pillar God.

"I wonder how many of these people are spirit witches."

As Liu Wudi spoke, his gaze shifted from this group of people to another place.

There, the hands of Huaidikui and Shi Ganwei were glowing with an earthy yellow light.

Not far in front of the two people, the outlines of a mud house were emerging.

Compared to controlling earth, the power of the five elements is even more magical.

Controlling the soil requires the existence of earth and stone, just like the altar square that Chen Yao had built before.

Those floors and altars were all pulled out by Chen Yao from the land five hundred feet away.

But now Huaidikui and Shi Gan built a mud house for the two of them without taking any soil or stones.

The power of the five elements of earth directly condenses into corresponding soil and rocks, and the quality of the condensed soil and rocks will be different depending on each person's earth power.

Although Shi Ganwei's construction speed is only slightly slower than Huaidikui's, to be honest, the quality of the two houses is much different.

Take Xiong Er for example.

If Xiong Er leaned against the wall of the house built by Sophora japonica, he could enjoy eating honey.

But if you lean against the house built by Shi Ganwei, you will be covered in dust.

So, after Huaidikui finished building the rough wall of the house, he went to the next place to continue.

However, Shi Ganwei had to reinforce the house he built again.

Only in this way can you reach the level of Sophora japonica.

After looking for a while, Liu Wudi smiled.

If there are more witches in the village in the future, many things will be convenient.

At this moment, Liu Wudi was suddenly stunned, and then looked towards another place in the village.

The busy villagers of the Wanzu Village stopped what they were doing and stared blankly in the same direction as Liu Wudi.

There, a camel beast walked out slowly from the forest and headed towards the village of all races.

On top of the camel, there was a khaki-colored figure sitting cross-legged with a black cloth covering the eyes.

A long emerald green snake was coiled around the figure's shoulder and neck. Although the snake's head was not raised, the combination of the two was enough to make everyone in the Wanzu Village take a step back.

In addition to these two objects, there is something on the left shoulder of the figure that reflects golden light in the sunlight.

On the right shoulder, there is a ten-foot-long, reddish wooden pole.

There is also a short-handled multi-faceted hammer made of stone on his waist.

There was a stone basin behind him, with ripples in it and the water was swaying in it.

However, none of these attracted Liu Wudi's attention. The stone pillar placed horizontally in the middle of the camel's back was his target.

Liu Wudi rushed forward, and when he reached the camel, he knelt on his knees and bowed his head.

"Pillar God, Eternal!"

The other people from the Wanzu Village who had reacted all knelt down. After hearing those four words, the people further away all knelt down without caring whether they saw the Pillar God or not.

Immediately, a voice appeared in the minds of all believers.

"good."

……

After Chen Yao returned to the Wanzu Village, he moved the sub-pillar away, and then asked the big wolves to take the sub-pillar away and place it at the back of the village, making it their exclusive territory.

Chen Yao then inserted himself onto the three-meter-high altar.

Only after finishing all this did Chen Yao feel relieved.

Sure enough, the correct way is to stick the pillars into the ground.

The kind of life with earphones inserted in the ears and being danced around is not suitable for Chen Yao.

Because he had known the real-time situation in the village through Zizhu, after returning, Chen Yao simply took out Xiaobai's roots from the camel beast's body and placed them next to the table.

The rest of the supplies were left to Liu Wudi to distribute.

On the way back, in addition to the golden cicada, Chen Yao also abducted three other magical creatures from the village.

They are all small villages less than 500 meters in size.

However, the last three miracles also made Chen Yao feel a little strange.
