Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

The Fire Clan dungeon is made of a special crystal stone, which has countless tiny holes like cow hair.

The crystal itself has no special effects, but when fire spiritual power is injected into it, this crystal will become indestructible.

Even if an external force really destroyed this crystal, it would only cause the fire attribute spiritual power in it to explode out of control.

The Fire Clan's dungeon is mainly used to imprison other alien races or humans, but there are also cells for imprisoning alien races affiliated with the Fire Clan.

Some subordinate aliens who are disobedient or have made mistakes will be imprisoned in the dungeon of the Fire Clan.

It is said that no one who has been put into the dungeon has ever come out.

Therefore, this dungeon is a taboo for both outsiders and the affiliated tribes of the Fire Clan.

But in recent days, several people from the Rong Clan, one of the four alien tribes that guard the Fire Clan, were captured and thrown into the dungeon.

The reason turned out to be because of Rong Shanlin, the patriarch of the Rong clan.

After Yao Donglin of the Yao clan reported the disappearance of several subordinate alien races, Rong Shanlin disappeared.

Then some subordinate tribes reported that they had seen the leader of the Rong tribe appear near the territories of several disappeared alien tribes.

Such behavior naturally aroused suspicion from the Fire Clan and the other three alien clans.

At this time, in the dungeon, the people of the Fire Clan were interrogating the people of the Melt Clan.

"Rongshu, do you know what the consequences will be if you collude with an alien race that plunders the origin of alien races? If you still don't tell the truth, the dungeon will still welcome people from the Rong tribe one by one."

Huo Xing looked at Rong Shu, a fourth-time mutant whose strength was almost the same as his, with indifference on his face.

"I... I don't know about the clan leader, but he would definitely not... do that kind of thing."

At this time, Rongshu's limbs, including his neck, were hanging on chains extending from the dungeon walls.

This kind of chain can prevent the five elements aliens from changing their five elements attributes. The material used to make the chain is considered a strategic resource and also a forbidden resource among the five elements aliens.

Except for the Five Elements alien race, no other alien races can possess this material.

If someone hides it privately, he will be punished lightly or his entire family will be exterminated in serious cases.

After all, no one would put something that can restrain themselves in the hands of others.

"Haha, Rongshu, it's no use saying you don't know now. If you can't give a result, you will die, and the Rong clan will be destroyed."

After listening to Huo Xing's words, the light in Rong Shu's eyes dimmed a little.

"Can't we wait for the clan leader to come back and explain himself?"

"Him? Will he come back?"

Rongshu looked up at Huoxing and said, "I said, can the Rong people survive?"

"The Rong Clan can do it, Rong Shanlin must die, and you must die too."

Rong Shu was silent for a long time, then he said softly, "Yes, Rong Shanlin, the leader of the Rong tribe, attempted to secretly collude with the enemies of the other tribes."

Hearing what Rongshu said, Huo Xing nodded.

"Wouldn't it be okay if you said this earlier?"

Huo Xing said this and led his men out of the dungeon, ready to report what had happened.

When he reached the door, Huo Xing turned his head and looked at Rong Shu.

"I forgot to mention it just now. The Rong Clan can survive, but they are no longer one of the Four Arch Guards."

Looking at the place where Huo Xing left, Rong Shu's eyes were full of sadness.

If they no longer protect alien races, they will be expelled from the protection of the Fire Clan.

But now, all those in the Rong Clan who have experienced four or more mutations have been captured and taken to the dungeon. If they are really to be driven away, what will be the outcome in the future?
Rong Shu didn't know that at this moment he thought of Rong Shanlin again.

"Chief, why... do this..."

Not long after the torture left, Rong Shu, who was already in a semi-comatose state, suddenly saw a figure appear in the dungeon room.

After the figure appeared, he waved his hand to untie the chains that trapped the molten tree.

Only after Rongshu fell did he see the person in front of him clearly.

But when he saw it clearly, his eyes widened.

"Fire Chief!"

The person who came was none other than the current leader of the Fire Clan, Huowang.

Huowang looked at Rongshu's miserable appearance and said something.

"An opportunity to allow the Rong Clan to stay and let the other Rong Clan members in the dungeon go out. Do you want to try it?"

Rongshu looked at the raging fire, slowly moved forward and knelt down.

"Thank you, Fire Chief."

"Then do as I say."

Huowang told Rongshu what he was going to do next. When Rongshu heard it, his eyes widened.

But looking at the indifferent expression on Huowang's face, Rongshu finally nodded.

Afterwards, Rongshu felt a flash before his eyes, and soon he appeared on a hill near the Rong tribe.

Looking at the territory of the Rong tribe in the distance, Rong Shu walked towards the territory step by step.

After avoiding many people along the way, Rong Shu was finally discovered by the tribesmen who were guarding outside the ancestor's location.

When the guards saw that the person coming was Rong Shu, they were all surprised.

"Chief Molten Tree, why are you back? They said you were sent to the dungeon..."

"Chief Rongshu, could it be that the tribe leader came back and rescued you?"

"Leader Rongshu, what is going on? Why did the Fire Clan capture you?"

Looking at the questions that came one after another, Rongshu waved his hand.

"You will know about this later. Now I am going to see the ancestor."

Rongshu said this and headed towards the entrance where the ancestor was.

Several guards subconsciously stood in front of Rong Shu.

"Chief Molten Tree, this is against the rules."

A guard said boldly.

"Rules? Haha." Rong Shu laughed miserably, "Are there still rules to speak of?"

Seeing Rongshu's strange state, the guard still persuaded him: "Chief Rongshu, let's wait for the clan leader to come back. Only the clan leader can see the ancestor. This is the rule of the alien race."

Rongshu glanced at the four people standing in front of him and sighed.

"do not blame me."

Before the four guards could figure out what Rong Shu meant, a fiery red needle as long as a palm pierced into the back of their heads.

The bodies stiffened, and the four guards turned into ashes as they fell.

Without even a second glance, Rongshu walked towards the entrance.

"Don't blame me... The future of the Rong Clan is in my hands. You can't blame me."

The sound of footsteps rang out in the passage.

Not long after, Rong Shu arrived in front of the ancestor of the Rong clan.

Looking at the ancestor who had helped him to embark on four transformations, Rong Shu knelt down and then resolutely walked towards the position of the ancestor of the Rong clan.

The alien race has a means of counterattack when they are dying. That is, when they encounter a powerful enemy, they can insert their bodies into the body of the ancestor and obtain the blessing of the original power.

This blessing is neither controllable nor stoppable.

It’s like a child is in danger and wants to ask a wild beast for help, but the beast ignores him, so the child takes a knife and stabs the beast.

When the wild beast becomes angry, it may kill the child directly, or it may be led by the child to the enemy and then be driven to devour the wolf.

But no matter what, the child will die afterwards.

Therefore, no clan leader would adopt this method unless they were in a truly desperate situation.

At this moment, this is what Rongshu needs to do.

However, he got a hint from Huowang, and this time he would do what Huowang asked him to do in a different way.

If successful, the Rong tribe will not be excluded from the list of those who protect other tribes.

If you fail, you will just die.

For Rongshu, this is a business that is sure to make a profit.

So, he has to do it!
Looking at the old ancestor so close, Rongshu became ruthless and reached out his hand to insert into the old ancestor's body. Rongshu, who had never touched the old ancestor before, was stunned after inserting his arm.

Because this touch feels like inserting into the body of some beast or human.

However, Rongshu had no time to think at this time. After he inserted his hand into the old ancestor's body, the old ancestor had already started to riot.

Before the old ancestor's origin appeared and flowed into his body, the molten tree turned into flames and rushed into the old ancestor's body.

This action seemed to stun the ancestor of the Rong clan, and he didn't know where to direct the original power in his body.

At this time, the molten tree that entered the ancestor's body was still madly drilling towards the ancestor's central area. He kept Huowang's words in mind. After entering, he kept moving forward and rushed towards the place that could resonate with him!
The only way to survive is to rush into that position before the ancestor can react.

Otherwise, he will become part of the ancestor.

After entering the old ancestor's body, Rongshu sensed the location that Huowang mentioned. At least on this point, Huowang did not lie to him.

No matter what Huowang’s conspiracy is, Rongshu has no way out now.

As Rongshu was diving forward, he suddenly felt that there was nothing in front of him.

The resistance brought by the old ancestor's physical body disappeared, and Rongshu could also see clearly his current position.

A space of ten feet in radius, filled with flames.

Those flames are not in a fixed form. Sometimes they are fire, and sometimes they turn into lava.

But the only thing that remains unchanged is that they all revolve around something in the center of space that the Molten Tree does not recognize.

Looking at it, it seems to be very similar to human writing.

Rong Shu was stunned for just a moment before he saw wisps of black energy emanating from the text.

"origin!"

If Rong Shu had seen the ancestor's origin before, he would definitely be overjoyed, but here, he was reluctant to recognize it!

Seeing the origins of those ancestors rushing towards him, the Molten Tree, which still maintained its flame form, rushed straight towards the text.

While avoiding the original black energy, Rong Shu was also thinking about one thing.

Huowang, why do you know that there is such a text in the ancestor's body?

Could it be that he has also entered the ancestor's body?
Inside the body of the Fire Clan’s ancestor?
When he thought of this, Rong Shu felt a shudder.

What does Huowang want to do?
Rongshu couldn't figure it out, and there was no time for him to think about it.

As it was getting closer and closer to the words, the Molten Tree revealed its true form and burst into flames, pushing itself towards the words.

But what Rong Shu didn't expect was that when he emerged from the flame state, the text would burst out with so much black origin.

The wisp of black origin chasing after him was nothing more than a drop in the bucket in the black air that erupted at this moment.

Rongshu, who originally just wanted to get closer to the text as quickly as possible, now finally understood why Huowang reminded him that he could not reveal his true self until he was in front of the text.

But it's too late to regret now.

With a grit of his teeth, Rong Shu reached out to grab the words when the original black energy rushed into his body.

A sharp pain came from his hand, a feeling that Rong Shu had never experienced before.

But if an ordinary person comes here, he will know that this feeling is called hot!
Because the Fire Clan is naturally resistant to flames, and as their strength grows, flames and high temperatures are as easy to deal with as a little drizzle on a rainy day.

Despite this, the melting tree was burned at this time!

Rongshu only experienced this feeling for a short while.

Then his attention was diverted to other things.

Because of the influx of the original black energy, his body began to become stronger and stronger.

But this kind of power did not make the Molten Tree happy.

At this moment, he could not mobilize any strength in his body at all. He could only watch helplessly as the strength in his body pushed his strength towards the middle and late stages of the fourth mutation.

In just a few breaths, the melting tree reached the same level as when it melted the mountain forest.

The peak of the fourth mutation!

But this is not the end.

Just when Rong Shu thought he was going to explode, the words in his right hand suddenly emitted wisps of fiery light and entered his body.

The original power that was about to explode began to disperse to various parts of the melting tree's body under the influence of that force.

From severe pain to comfort, it only takes a thought.

Rongshu couldn't even help but let out a comfortable hum.

Not long after, Rongshu felt as if something inside his body was broken.

The body that was originally unable to move moved.

Feeling the powerful force in his body, an idea suddenly came to Rong Shu's mind.

He has entered the fifth stage of mutation!
Suddenly, Rongshu turned his head and looked at the rune in his hand.

At this time, he also knew the meaning of this rune.

'melt'

"So, the power of the ancestors all comes from this rune?"

When Rong Shu figured this out, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

If the ancestor's power comes from this rune, then now, is he considered the ancestor of the alien race?

The moment this thought came to mind, the banyan tree was shocked.

But then, he thought of Huo Wang.

If he could think of these things, then as the patriarch of the Fire Clan, who has already stepped into the fifth stage of the Fire Prosperity, has he also mastered the runes of the Fire Clan?

So, why did Huowang ask him to take away the runes of the ancestor of the Rong clan?
Rongshu didn't believe that Huowang was trying to train him.

After thinking for a long time, Rongshu felt that no matter what Huowang thought, with the strength of five mutations, he was qualified to talk to Huowang.

Thinking of this, Rong Shu headed outside.

But as soon as his body left the space inside the body of the Rong clan ancestor, the "Rong" rune left his palm.

After a moment's pause, Rongshu tried several more times.

Then he realized that he was overthinking.

He established a connection with the rune, but could not take it away.

To take this rune away, I'm afraid some conditions are required.

With regret, the melting tree left the ancestor's body.

As soon as he went out, he saw Huowang standing in front of him.

"how?"

Huowang looked at the banyan tree with a smile.

Rongshu clenched his fists, but ultimately decided not to make an enemy of Huowang.

Then he told what happened inside the ancestor's body.

Huowang nodded.

"It seems that in addition to the method I comprehended myself, this is also a way to master runes."

When Rongshu heard Huowang's words, he was about to ask something when he saw Huowang shoot a small wisp of flame at him.

His face changed drastically, and before he could use the power of the five transformations in the Rongshu body, the flame fell on his body.

The feeling of being burned before reappeared.

But this time, it was more intense.

"Fire Chief, you can't..."

Before he could finish his words, the Molten Tree was burned to ashes, leaving only a ray of fiery light that circled in the air for a few circles before returning to the ancestor's body.

But at this time, Huowang had already reached out and grabbed that ray of light.

After trembling for a moment, the ray of fiery light merged into Huowang's body.

With a smile on his lips, Huowang spread out his palms.

On one hand was an almost solid 'fire' rune.

On the other hand, there is an almost invisible 'Melt' rune.
