Chapter 10 The Trouble with the Old Mutu Family
This made Li Yi think of a way to use soul beads to enhance soul power.
Although Simo said that it is not easy to absorb too many soul beads in a short period of time, otherwise it will cause confusion and shake the foundation.
But he felt that he still had enough energy left, so it didn't matter if he smoked more.
Especially the kind of tonic that directly absorbed the entire soul spider made him feel extremely wonderful, and this was the only way to effectively improve his soul power.
It's just that soul beasts are not as common as forest beasts. I heard that they are hidden deep in the Black Abyss Forest. Without strong strength, entering them will only lead to death.
Li Yi suppressed the restlessness in his heart and prepared to find opportunities to find soul beads in the future. What he had to do now was to learn the wizard's spells first.
Li Yi spent a few more days practicing and pondering over and over again, firmly engraving these spells in his heart.
Seeing that Li Yi's progress had slowed down, Simo felt slightly relieved.
If Li Yigang was promoted to a higher level as soon as he learned wizard spells, he would not be a genius, but a monster!
Although Simo hopes that Li Yi will be outstanding, he does not want him to be too different from ordinary people.
In this dangerous world, without strong strength and background, it is the original sin to stand out too much.
If it arouses the covetousness of some forces, not only will it be detrimental to Li Yi himself, but even the Hexi tribe will be on the verge of danger.
Towards evening, Li Yi returned to Lao Mutu's house.
There was a crackling sound in the yard. Li Yi walked in and found Muya chopping firewood hard with a knife. His dark face was wrinkled tightly, as if he was a little unhappy.
"Xiao Muya, what's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" Li Yi approached and joked with him with a smile.
Xiao Muya turned around, slashed the hatchet into the wood as if to vent his anger, and said: "Brother Li, Tohcha came today!"
Tuchcha?
Li Yi knew this person, but he didn't have a good impression of him, so he asked, "What is he here for?"
"He came to propose marriage to his sister and asked her to marry him!"
"He wants to marry Mu Zhu?"
Li Yi subconsciously looked at Mu Zhu's house. The door there was tightly closed and there was no movement inside. He didn't know what Mu Zhu's attitude was towards this matter.
"I don't like Tohcha!"
Xiao Muya waved his arms and expressed his opposition bluntly.
Li Yi expressed his understanding.
Although Tohcha was an ordinary warrior in the village, he was famous for being lazy and lazy. Every time he went hunting, he would always work hard. He would either hide somewhere and take a nap, or he would steal meat and beat it quietly as a sacrifice.
If he hadn't had an older brother, Seheya, who was a first-level warrior, he would have been expelled from the tribe long ago.
Such a person is definitely not a good match. Mu Zhu will definitely not live a good life if he follows him.
Xiao Muya asked: "Brother Li, what do you think?"
Li Yi shook his head: "I don't approve of Mu Zhu marrying him either!"
Hearing this, Xiao Muya said happily: "I knew Brother Li was on my side!"
After only being happy for a moment, Xiao Muya seemed to have thought of something again, and wrinkled his face: "But his brother is Saiheya, the most powerful warrior in our village..."
Li Yi smiled and said: "So what about Saheya, our little Muya is no worse than him, and we will also be first-class warriors in the future!"
When Xiao Muya heard this, he suddenly felt confident: "Yes, I have already started learning to hunt! When I awaken my bloodline, I will definitely be no worse than them!"
But this confidence only lasted for a while. Xiao Muya looked at his still immature body and said discouraged: "But I'm not a first-level warrior yet. I'm afraid they will force grandpa..."
Li Yi looked at Xiao Muya's adult-like expression, and was both pleased and touched by the child's stubbornness and precocity.
Sure enough, a child from a poor family has already become the head of the family! When I was as old as Xiao Muya, I was still asking my mother for change to buy candies. How could I have considered so much?
The wooden door opened with a creak.
Mu Zhu walked out of the room. When she saw Li Yi, an imperceptible light flashed in her eyes.
She didn't seem to be affected by Tohcha, but said as usual: "Brother Li, are you back? I'll cook for you right away!"
Without waiting for Li Yi to respond, she turned back and walked into the smoke-filled hut. Her pretty face was very calm, and she didn't have much expression.
Xiao Muya looked at his sister's hard working back and suddenly said: "Brother Li, how about you marry my sister?"
Li Yi was suddenly startled.
Mu Zhu is gentle and kind, and has good looks, but she is too young, only 14 years old this year.
He is 10 years older than her, and when they are together, he feels like he is kidnapping a young girl. What's more, he is not from this world, and he doesn't know what kind of changes will happen in the future.
Before Li Yi could respond, Xiao Muya sighed again: "It's a pity that Brother Li is too thin and can't defeat Tohcha! And the women in our tribe all like strong warriors, not men like Brother Li!"
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. This boy was so startled that it was hard for people to react.
But this guy seems to look down on him a little, which sounds very unpleasant!
What the two of them didn't notice was that when Xiao Mu Ya said the first sentence, Mu Zhu, who was cooking, paused slightly with his fingers.
After Xiao Muya finished her last sentence, she lowered her head again and continued to do what she was doing.
"Where's grandpa?"
Li Yi looked around, why didn't he see Lao Mutu?
Xiao Muya said in a sullen voice: "Grandpa went to find the clan leader, and he didn't agree to marry his sister to Tohcha. But Tohcha said that if he didn't agree, he would snatch the bride on the Day of the Fire Festival!"
When Li Yi heard this, he immediately frowned.
In the Black Abyss Forest, all tribes inherit an ancient custom of robbing brides.
Strength is respected in the Black Abyss Forest, and only strong warriors deserve priority in choosing a mate.
The Fire Festival is a traditional festival. On that day, all men in the tribe can choose the woman of their choice to complete the spouse ceremony.
The premise is that the strength is strong enough. If two or more tribesmen fall in love with the same woman, the stronger one will obviously have the advantage.
In a tribal society where men are superior to women, women cannot refuse this bad habit.
They can only accept the situation and be taken away by the strong man who likes them.
Although Tohcha is just an ordinary warrior, no one is willing to offend his brother, that powerful first-level tribal warrior, for a woman.
Although Mu Zhu is only 14 years old, she is already of marriageable age in the tribe.
If there is no accident, she will be taken away by the powerful Tohcha.
Lao Mutu had no other choice but to go to the most prestigious person in the tribe for help.
At this moment, Lao Mutu's coughing sound was heard outside the small courtyard.
Lao Mutu, his back bent, slowly walked in from outside the yard. His face looked a little bad, with a hint of loneliness and sadness. It seemed that his request for help this time was not going well.
Xiao Muya couldn't see this, so he walked up with hope: "Grandpa, what did the patriarch say? He will stop that guy Tohcha, right?"
Chapter completed!
