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.
