World Occult User Guide

The experiment was not completely successful. The [God's One Eye IV] rating was too low and it was impossible to "see" Zai's whole body.

Lin An was barely satisfied with this result.

Zai returned to the shadows and was clearly separated from the world of the living. As long as he did not take the initiative to show up or attack, Lin An could not cross the boundary between the two and enter Zai's area.

Although the [Philosopher's Stone] temporarily locked him in the tent, Lin An could not stay in the sealed space all the time, staring at Zai and the six ancestral spirits.

After trying [God's One Eye IV] again and confirming that Zai could not be locked, Lin An turned the [Philosopher's Stone] slightly, and the corner of the metal tent turned back into canvas.

The firefly was stunned for a moment, then quickly got into it and flew into the night sky.

Like a gecko with its tail cut off, Zai left a part of the mystery behind. Lin An took out the [Little Man in a Bottle], which displayed a data panel with a lighter luster.

[Name]: Man in the shadow, man in the mirror, soul repeated countless times

[Rating]: Legend C level

[Radiation value]: 54.5%

[Pollution level]: 63.6%

[Medium]: Visionary

After not returning to the planet for four months, the upper limit of radiation levels has indeed increased a lot.

If Zai's radiation value were higher, even the mythical 30% item [Little Man in a Bottle] might not be able to do anything.

After taking back the mysterious item, Lin An released his invisibility and sat in the middle of the six people.

The green data emits a cold, mechanical light, brighter than fireflies and moonlight.

Zai is considered to be the strongest mystic Lin An has ever met, but the remaining ancestral spirits are different. This can be seen from their attitude towards Zai.

A legend-level person can treat them submissively, let alone Lin An, a source-level person.

"I am the protagonist of your discussion, [Forest Ranger]." Lin An looked around and said preemptively, "Do you still want to continue discussing the old topic? I'll give you thirty seconds."

Everyone looked at each other, how dare they mention the destruction of the Spotted Lion Tribe.

The lean man at the beginning mustered up his courage and said half fearfully and half warily: "What do you want to do?"

“Friendly exchange.”

Although Lin An could easily kill everyone and throw the heads of ancestor spirits into their tribes, he came to the rainforest to digest the "Lamp Goddess", not to fight the Third Bantu War.

Moreover, the current size of the spotted lion tribe is only more than 300 people, and it cannot digest so many mixed members at once.

Lin An took out a flat stone with inscriptions and placed it on the ground.

"Didn't you invite me? I'm here for the first time. Let me hear what you usually discuss."

With you sitting in the center, how can we dare to discuss it... The ancestors screamed silently.

There was another silence for a while, and Susumi, the Karu mermaid who had met Lin An once, said weakly.

"The ancestor spirit of the spotted lion, please be careful Zai! Even though he is not here, once we say something wrong, he will get into our dreams and drive us crazy!"

"Thanks for the reminder, but we've already talked."

Lin An placed the little man in the bottle in front of him, put a finger on its head, and turned it 360 degrees like a top.

From the eyes of the little artificial man, everyone saw the terrifying and turbid sight that belonged to the blind beggar.

"Za-zai?"

"After our discussion, from now on, I will host every totem gathering on his behalf." Lin An smiled slightly, "How often do you get together?"

discuss?

You've turned our former organizers into toys!

It turns out that Lin An just paused in place, motionless, and was attacked by Zai...

Everyone figured out the whole story at once, but the result of the battle between the two came out. Lin An was unscathed, but Zai turned into a puppet no longer than an arm. He was at the mercy of others, and it was clear who won and who lost.

Even Zai is no match for Lin An, one can imagine his strength.

No one is a fool. The hunting life in the rainforest gives ancestor spirits an innate fear of unbeatable prey.

After the shock, they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lin An. They could only watch the green data flying around and floating to relieve their tension.

"About thirty days. The interval is longer during the rainy season." Only Susumi answered calmly.

"It will be changed to once a week, and the location will be at the Spotted Lion Tribe."

"We don't know where the spotted lion tribe is." The young man said quietly.

"Then how did you find Zai's tent in the huge rain forest?"

"Sometimes he entrusts us with dreams, and sometimes he sends a yellow butterfly to lead us away."

Zai Navigation, you deserve it...

The corner of Lin An's mouth twitched. This method of using mystery instead of GPS reminded him of the witch by the river in Eagle Country who also didn't know how to use electronic devices.

A family of dreamers in the world.

"Do you all know the way to the Tiger Fish Tribe?" Susumi quickly came to the rescue, "Why don't you let me take you to the Spotted Lion Tribe, we are not far away. Is this okay, Spotted Lion Ancestral Spirit?"

"good idea."

Lin An asked everyone about the content of the usual gatherings. Seeing that he did not hold those people responsible for claiming to massacre the spotted lion tribe, Zu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He gradually became less nervous and could say a few words. .

They told Lin An that Zai created the totem for two purposes. One was to unite the tribes and resist the invasion of outsiders, whether it was materials, goods or food, or ideas or theories. Unfortunately, he was too idealistic.

The Tiger Fish Tribe has been cooperating with the [Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce] all year round. The clothes worn by the tribesmen, the equipment used, and even Zai's tents must be imported from the outside world. It is impossible to cut off the transaction link.

Zay is not good at fighting, and being alone, there is nothing he can do about it.

The second point is related to Zai himself. He summoned the mystics of the rainforest to exchange ideas on how to correctly control "Comes" without increasing the level of pollution.

According to Susumi, Zai once told them some tips on using Dawa, which benefited them a lot. This is why everyone came to the party even if they were afraid of Zai's madness from time to time.

In return, Zai would ask for food and clothing.

In fact, everyone at the gathering will also discuss some things. They come from different large or medium-sized tribes, and the rainforest is full of disputes. Therefore, the ancestors often take advantage of the gathering to discuss whether to join forces to attack a certain tribe.

This time they want to work together to wipe out the spotted lion tribe.

Therefore, tribes without ancestral spirits dare not provoke these tribes with ancestral spirits, otherwise they will face the siege of more than one large tribe.

Over time, the ancestral spirit totems became so prestigious that as long as they followed their rules, other tribes would not dare to resist.

Zai ignored the wars between tribes and believed that this was the "natural ecology" of the Bantu. He killed the hyena people because he thought the hyena people were cooperating with Lin An, an "outsider".

After Lin An listened, he nodded slightly.

"Now that Mr. Zai has handed over the organization to me, most of the previous activities can continue as usual, such as discussing the mystical arts...how to use Dawa, but I have to change a few rules."

"What do you want to change?" the female ancestor asked.

"The first thing is the name. After my research, most people feel scared and uneasy when mentioning 'ancestral spirit totem', which is not good. The first thing we have to do is to change the name."

"Change your name!?"

"The so-called ancestral spirit, that is, the soul of the ancestor, how can it harm its own descendants." Lin An raised his finger, "Totem has become history. Under the leadership of [Forest Guard], you will start a new chapter of guarding the 'World Tree'."

"World, World Tree..." Everyone chewed on the strange words, some had endless aftertaste, and some looked twitching.

"Secondly, in addition to 'how to fight', 'who to fight today', and 'how to divide the spoils', we have a few more topics." Lin An said, "For example, next week's topics are, 'Developing rainforest resources' and ' Expanding the ranger’s influence’.”

"ah?"

The crowd instantly turned into emoticons with six black question marks, and Lin An continued.

"After you go home today, you can either observe and think by yourself, or communicate with your respective chiefs and great elders. In short, at the next gathering, I want to hear each of you's detailed answers to these two questions for a total of 10 minutes."

After thinking for a moment, he added.

“I’ll be like Zay and tell the ranger with the highest quality answers a secret to navigating the big tiles.”

…………

It was the next morning when we returned to the Spotted Lion Tribe. After everyone had overcome the crisis of the yellow butterfly, they found that Lin An had disappeared and were immediately frightened to death.

If Misulu hadn't repeatedly said that Lin An had left with a unicorn and had his own plans, they almost went deep into the rainforest to find Lin An's whereabouts.

When Lin An came back, the spotted lion tribesmen, who had not slept well all night, clearly had big dark circles under their eyes, but they were extremely excited and cheered. About two hundred men, women, and children came to him cheering.

This enthusiasm forced Lin An to control the air flow technique and escape to the sky.

Unexpectedly, Mvias with black wings caught up and blocked Lin An's path.

"Lord Zuling, it's great that you're okay!"

"You can stretch your muscles a little bit, so you don't have to worry."

As Lin An said this, he looked down at the lively scene below, which was as lively as the Double Twelve Rookie Station, and suddenly found that there were a few more people beside the big tree where the prisoners were tied before.

"What's going on over there?"

"Lord Ancestral Spirit, it's like this..." Mvias' expression darkened and he explained reluctantly.

It turned out that more than a dozen people from other tribes who came to the Spotted Lion Tribe to learn "Dawa" couldn't help but have some thoughts when they saw Lin An missing.

They want to take advantage of the tribe's chaos to steal the "Grinder's Bone".

Fortunately, before they could succeed, Meyer who was standing by noticed him. She immediately called Apu and quickly subdued the group of thieves.

However, the spotted lion tribe didn't know what to do, so they tied them up and waited for Lin An's fate.

Lin An landed at the prisoner's location and saw an acquaintance among a group of unfamiliar faces.

A man who was originally from the spotted lion tribe was mixed in. He was one of the hunting team captains who initially made things difficult for Lin An, and then was treated as a mentally damaged man by him when [Editor] was mysterious.

If it weren't for this theft incident, Lin An would have almost forgotten about him.

"Are you going to kill them?"

Mvias asked this with a slightly unbearable expression. Even though the man was always against Lin An and he was a member of the spotted lion tribe, the bald leader was still a little reluctant to let go.

"No need. Cut off their thumbs and throw them into the jungle to fend for themselves."

"good!"

Hearing Lin An's words, Mvias breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to kill his childhood friend with his own hands.

The thumb is one of the most important joints in the human body, accounting for 40% of the entire finger function. It is also the advantage that primates stand out from other subjects.

In modern society, losing a thumb is a lot of inconvenience, not to mention the rainforest where the lifestyle is relatively primitive.

Mwias knew in his heart that without food and weapons, it would be difficult for a person to survive in the jungle unless he was accepted by another tribe, but who would accept a useless disability for nothing?

The other foreigners who came here to study stood in a row by the river embankment, watching the miserable situation of the captives having their thumbs chopped off. They were extremely glad that they did not listen to the instigation and steal the magical goat bone.

This little episode was harmless, but it made the spotted lion tribe more united.

Lin An took the opportunity to glance at his deviation value, which dropped by 0.3%.

Not only love and faith, but "hate" seems to also be an aid in integrating the "Goddess with the Lamp".

Taking note of the new findings, Lin An came to the great elder's hut.

Fulami was chatting with a girl with thick eyebrows and gorgeous features. When she heard the sound at the door, she looked in the direction of Lin An. Her thick black hair fell with the movement. It was Meyer, one of the two sisters.

Unlike her younger sister Mezzo, Meyer has a capable personality and works neatly, just like a city white-collar worker. However, she often has a straight face, which makes people feel unapproachable.

Compared with Misulu's admiration and vague closeness to Mezuo, she rarely took the initiative to talk to Lin An. Even if she had to talk to him for official business, she always looked serious and kept away from strangers.

Seeing Lin An, Meyer immediately stopped talking and stood behind the elder with his chest raised and his head raised, like a queen's guard.

"Bonjour! Mr. Tulf." The elder blinked, "I think you will be fine. While they were fighting to be the vigil team, you slept comfortably and just woke up. How about your night? How's it going?"

"Most of them are on their way."

Lin An held his forehead. Even if he used the Philosopher's Stone, it took him half a day to get back and forth from Zai's tent.

"No wonder my father has been building the railway here every day and hasn't returned home after building it for 20 years. Bantu really needs a better road system."

"After all, we are 75 times the size of the Kingdom of Flanders." The elder said cheerfully, "Do you know where the largest French-speaking population is in the world? It's not Paris, but Kinshasa."

"Hey, I've also seen the Brasilia flag next to Portuguese in the language selection system."

Lin An casually chatted for a few words and then took out the [Little Man in the Bottle]. One-third of Zai's mystery was flowing inside, giving the supposedly pure and flawless alchemy product a somewhat gloomy color.

"Ms. Folami, I think we should discuss education." (End of Chapter)
