Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom Chapter 26: Priest Lucy's visit

It was undoubtedly for revenge.

However, the crucial question was how to exact that revenge.

Based on Heru's description and the information provided by others about the Chew Bone Tribe, it was easy to deduce their approximate strength... They weren't nurous, numbering only around a hundred or so.

But these individuals were all elites.

Among them were so with supernatural abilities, and not just one or two, but a sizable group.

This was an extrely terrifying force.

In a head-on collision, the Crimson Star Tribe stood little chance.

After lengthy discussions, no good solution was reached. So Enzo had to order an increase in patrols and expand their patrol range. Additionally, suitable tribe mbers were to undergo the baptism of the tribal fire to beco tribe warriors.

After dealing with all this, dawn was fast approaching.

Enzo didn't feel tired at all. With the increase in totemic energy within his body, his physical fitness improved significantly, and even his ntal strength was greatly enhanced.

At this mont, he took out the stone tablet and ore samples brought back by Heru and examined them.

So of the minerals in particular surprised him.

They weren't rare ores, but rather chalcopyrite and hematite, which could be used to slt copper and iron, greatly promoting the tribe's developnt.

Unfortunately, the looming threat of the Chew Bone Tribe needed to be addressed.

With that in mind, Enzo's joy was sowhat dampened.

He called for Brian to organize the mbers of the industrial zone to fully produce various weapons to counter the impending threat from the Chew Bone Tribe. Then, he summoned Amy and Tia, preparing to once again venture to the Venom Tribe to inquire about so matters from Priest Lucy.

As for Clara, she needed to stay at the tribe camp.

The Chagga Tribe mbers who had just joined the Crimson Star Tribe were not yet accustod to the tribe's way of life, and they still turned to Clara first when they encountered any issues.

Just as Enzo was preparing to depart, Priest Lucy arrived ahead of him.

The mbers of the patrolling combat team spotted Jessica and the others she brought along and hurried to report to Enzo, saying, "Lord Priest, Miss Jessica from yesterday is here again, and she brought a few more people."

Upon hearing the news, Enzo rushed over.

Surprised to see the visitors, he asked, "Priest Lucy, you've co to the Crimson Star Tribe?"

Lucy replied with a smile, "Jessica ntioned that the Crimson Star Tribe is quite miraculous. So I thought I'd co and see for myself. Mr. Enzo shouldn't mind, right?"

Enzo couldn't quite grasp Lucy's intentions.

But for now, there was nothing worth hiding from the Crimson Star Tribe.

Due to the shortage of water, the firing of pottery and bricks had temporarily ceased. Only the irrigation of the fields continued, but this task didn't require much technical skill. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were considered precious, but Sovita arranged for tribe mbers to keep watch and drive away birds to prevent theft.

So, Enzo welcod Lucy and the others inside.

Many of the newly joined Chagga Tribe mbers witnessed this scene.

After all, the giant bear, Betta, who ca with them to the camp, was too conspicuous. Its massive size and sharp claws inevitably instilled fear, causing so of the new mbers to instinctively pick up weapons, looking panicked.

This reaction prompted laughter from the Crimson Star Tribe mbers.

They chuckled and said, "Relax, that giant bear is Lord Priest's pet."

"What, a pet!" they exclaid in astonishnt.

But what surprised these people went far beyond that. Everywhere they looked, there were pottery pieces, dishes with vastly different flavors, and sturdy brick houses... All of this made the Crimson Star Tribe truly stand out.

Priest Lucy felt the sa way.

She prided herself on being well-traveled, but so things in the Crimson Star Tribe were beyond her comprehension.

How could houses be built like this?

With fired bricks and clay, wouldn't they collapse?

And growing wild vegetables in the fields, what a magical idea!

Priest Lucy's curiosity about Enzo grew, and she beca even more pleased. Only soone like him, the offspring nurtured alongside Jessica, could be so outstanding.

Of course, she hadn't forgotten the purpose of her visit.

She smiled and asked, "Priest Enzo, I heard from Jessica that you can accelerate the condensation of her totem."

Enzo imdiately understood Lucy's intentions.

He didn't hide anything but didn't directly confirm either. Instead, he vaguely replied, "My totemic power has so peculiarities, and it just happened to interact with Jessica's totemic power."

Priest Lucy didn't quite buy that explanation.

Still smiling, she handed Enzo several bamboo slips inscribed with text from the Barren Mountain. Then she said, "Priest Enzo, could you demonstrate your totem? These bamboo slips contain so knowledge about totemic power, which I believe will be helpful to you."

Instead of imdiately accepting, Enzo asked, "Priest Lucy, may I know why?"

Lucy replied, "Just to verify a hypothesis."

After so thought, Enzo agreed but added a condition, "I can demonstrate the totem, but I need you to help with sothing."

Priest Lucy nodded, "Sure."

With the agreent in place, Enzo extended his palm and condensed the shadow of his totem.

The intricate patterns on the erald-green leaves beca clearer, with every vein visible, brimming with vitality.

Lucy, however, felt sowhat disappointed after seeing it. Enzo's totem wasn't what she had expected, the one ford from the lost Barren Mountain scepter.

Nonetheless, it was still good news.

She might still have a chance to obtain that lost treasure.

She didn't express any suspicion about Enzo's displayed totem, speculating that it was the leaves totem of the Tree of Life. Despite ntioning the so-called sacred place and the ancient Seven Pri Creations to Jessica, she didn't believe it because no one had ever seen them in the long ages past.

Those things are just legends after all.

Then, Priest Lucy asked again, "Enzo, what do you need my help with?"

Enzo replied directly, "The Crimson Star Tribe's Vanguard squad encountered the Chew Bone Tribe. The Golden Beetle Totem has the ability to scout for information, so I'd like to ask you for help to see if we can find the Chew Bone Tribe's trail. By the way, the Vanguard squad encountered the Chew Bone Tribe at Bald Mountain."

Lucy nodded after hearing this and said, "I can give it a try. Is there any other information you can provide?"

After a mont of thought, Enzo didn't conceal anything and revealed, "The Chew Bone Tribe is capturing mbers of other tribes, seemingly for so evil sacrificial ritual."

"Sacrifice?" Lucy exclaid suddenly.

Enzo's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Priest Lucy, is there sothing wrong?"

Priest Lucy didn't answer.

Others might not understand the aning of sacrifice, but she knew it all too well, especially since the Chew Bone Tribe had captured so many mbers of other tribes for this purpose.

Sacrifice, in simple terms, is offering sacrifices to powerful beings in exchange for protection or blessings.

It's an elaborate process, and complex sacrificial rituals can last for years, requiring a variety of offerings. What most tribes consider sacrifices are not true sacrifices but rely seeking comfort unilaterally, unable to communicate with those mystical beings.

Recalling the ti when the Chew Bone Tribe appeared, Priest Lucy felt she had grasped an important clue.

She said to Enzo, "Wait a mont, I'll investigate the information."

With that, Priest Lucy tapped into her totemic abilities, communicating with the insects slumbering on the ground. Her consciousness spread continuously until it reached Bald Mountain. It was a barren stone mountain with no vegetation, and at the foot of it lay a cave. However, there were no captives inside the cave at the mont, only excrent covering the ground.

Priest Lucy continued her search.

The insects' perception abilities surpassed humans in many ways.

Therefore, without much effort, Lucy found the Chew Bone Tribe group hiding in a valley. The leader held an iron rod, wore a beast tooth necklace, had a deep scar on his forehead, and could see his skull. Several bone spurs were inserted into his arms, growing together with flesh and blood.

He is none other than the leader of the Chew Bone Tribe — Mog.

And before Mog stood a simple scepter, crafted from redwood, with a large aquamarine gemstone at its tip.

Lucy was filled with excitent, shouting in her heart, 'The barren mountain scepter!'

But the next mont, her perception was cut off.
