Chapter 88: The Gods

A Lu Ge thought for a while and said, "Anyone who receives Shennong’s blessing will have the ability to grow crops. Take the Zhiwu tribe as an example. They can grow crops here, while other tribes cannot."

Xu Xiang thought for a while and said, "I understand. It’s because they receive Shennong’s blessing that they can grow crops in this poisonous land. Then why are you still short of food? If they can even grow crops on this land, they should be able to produce enough food for six tribes with the Shennong’s blessing."

A Lu Ge scratched his head and uncertainty replied: "Uh... I don’t know."

After a moment of silence, Xu Xiang glanced at the empty plates and bowls on the picnic mat. She looked at A Lu Ge again, and found that although he was only nine years old and looked thin, he had a big appetite. She took a closer look and found that under his clothes, this boy actually had a well-trained body. He is also quite tall for his age.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Then what about your Xiuluo tribe? Have you also received Shennong’s blessing?"

Shaking his head, A Lu Ge swallowed the lemon meringue biscuit and said, "We don’t worship Shennong, so we don’t get his blessing."

Xu Xiang put her chin on her hand and asked, "Then... Do you worship a different Deity from the Zhiwu clan?"

A Lu Ge looked at her and proudly said, "My Xiuluo tribe worship a True God, not a Deity. He is the God of War, Ming Ye. In our legend, the true form of the God of War Ming Ye is a black thunder dragon. Therefore, everyone in the Xiuluo tribe is stronger than ordinary people. We are also highly talented in martial arts. For example, my eldest brother is the strongest warrior in our tribe, and my second elder brother is the most gifted in martial arts and archery."

He waited for a while, but he didn’t hear Xu Xiang’s praise or admiration. When he looked at her, he saw her looking at him calmly.

A Lu Ge widened his eyes and hesitantly asked, "You... Don’t tell me... You don’t know the God of War Ming Ye? You are not surprised to hear about the abilities of my elder brothers?"

Scratching her nose lightly, she apologetically said, "Uh... I don’t know."

Unable to believe what he heard, A Lu Ge’s shoulders dropped. Seeing his expression of not being able to accept reality, she said lightly: "Don’t worry about such trivial matters. Tell me, do other tribes also worship different gods?"

He pouted and said, "Mhm. Each tribe worships different gods. Such as the Lang tribe. They worshiped the God of Beast, one of the ancient gods. The Jia tribe worships the three Gods of Wealth, Luck and Prosperity. The Yishi tribe worships the God of Medicine, Yao Wang."

Xu Xiang listened silently with great interest, waiting for him to tell her about the Mofa tribe. She waited for a while, but A Lu Ge continued to finish his dessert without telling her about the Mofa tribe.

Raising her eyebrows, she curiously asked, "What about the Mofa tribe?"

Shaking his head, A Lu Ge spoke with food in his mouth. "I don’t know about the Mofa tribe. In fact, no one knows about this mysterious Mofa tribe. I overheard my father and the elders talking about the Mofa tribe a long time ago. Until then, I didn’t know that there was another tribe called the Mofa tribe amongst the six ancient tribes."

Swallowing the food, he said: "They said that every member of the Mofa tribe is immortal. They can live for thousands of years without eating or drinking. Even the youngest deceased lived at least a hundred years before dying of old age."

Having said that, he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered: "My Xiuluo tribe has one iron law."

He pointed at the hills and asked, "Did you see those hills?"

Xu Xiang nodded and he continued: "Whoever steps into those hills, none of them come back. Therefore, no one is allowed to set foot on those hills."

She nodded and asked, "What do those hills have to do with the Mofa tribe and my question?"

"Behind those hills is the territory of the Mofa tribe." He replied to her calmly.

Hearing what he said, she finally understood why it was so difficult to obtain information about the Mofa tribe. As it turned out, no one was able to reach the territory of the Mofa tribe.

She was a little curious when she looked at the hills, and asked: "Since no one came back from those hills, how do you know about this Mofa tribe?"

"Regarding this, sometimes people from the Mofa tribe will come to visit us." A Lu Ge said calmly.

Xu Xiang thought for a while, and said, "From what you said just now, this Mofa tribe doesn’t seem to need anything from other tribes. Why did they come to your Xiuluo tribe?"

A Lu Ge shrugged and said, "I don’t know. The last time they visited my tribe was ten years ago. I wasn’t even born yet at that time."

They chatted for a while, before she looked at the dark sky and said, "The sun is setting. Let’s go back before it gets dark."

When she finished speaking, they cleared away the empty plates and leftover food. When Xu Xiang wanted to put the leftover food into her space, A Lu Ge lightly tugged at her clothes. She paused, looked at him, and raised her eyebrows.

’Does he still want to eat?’ She thought in amazement.

He looked at her shyly and asked, "Xu Xiang, can you give me the rest of the food? I want my elder brothers and father to taste these delicious foods too."

She looked at the remaining desserts on the picnic mat and nodded. "Mhm. Just take it if you want them."
