"What sorcery? Isn't this just wood drilling?"
Li Mo was speechless. Li Mo then went to fetch some meat from the elder, still covered in blood.
Li Mo was in such a rush that he didn't even bother to wash it. He stuck the meat on a stick and roasted it over the fire.
In this era, there was no such thing as spices. But even so, the meat's fragrance still made Li Mo's stomach growl.
When it was done, Li Mo tore off a piece and gobbled it down.
"En, it's delicious!"
He hadn't eaten for three days and now that he had something to eat, it tasted so good.
But Li Mo didn't notice how the other savages were looking at him with hope in their eyes.
Ah-Tu couldn't help but swallow.
Smelling the fragrance of the meat, it was simply too fragrant.
Ah-Tu looked at the meat in his hand and found it tasteless.
"Have a taste."
Li Mo wasn't stingy as he tore off pieces of the cooked meat and gave them to the savages.
The elder didn't eat the cooked meat but looked at Li Mo with excitement.
He spoke in a language Li Mo couldn't understand.
"What a surprise!
You came back from the dead because of Heaven's favor. Heaven even gave you the talent to become a sorcerer!
It's really … our tribe. It's really … Heaven's favor … "
The elder was so excited he couldn't even speak properly. Li Mo didn't care what the elder was saying.
All he saw was Li Mo taking the other savages' meat and roasting it on a stick …
The theory behind wood drilling was simple, and cooked meat tasted better than raw.
Thus, Li Mo taught them how to drill wood for fire. Their lives improved greatly as a result.
That night, Li Mo tossed and turned in the cave, unable to sleep.
Li Mo only had one thought, 'How do I go back?'
'I can't stand the life of these savages.'
Kacha!
In the silence of the night, the slightest sound was ear-piercing.
Li Mo's head was still resting on the ground when he heard the noise. Not just Li Mo, but the other savages also opened their eyes.
Their lives were filled with fighting against the heavens, fighting against the earth, and fighting against the countless dangers in the world.
Therefore, all of the savages had developed a habit of being highly vigilant. Otherwise, this small tribe of 30 or so people might have already been destroyed by the claws and teeth of those ferocious beasts.
"Howl!"
Knowing that the barbarians in the cave had been awakened, the alpha wolf outside the cave immediately raised its head and howled at the moon.
"Howl!"
"Howl!"
"…"
For a moment, countless voices echoed in response to the voice of the wolf.
Then, more than thirty wolves popped their heads out. Pairs of ferocious eyes glowed in the night as they stared at the situation in the cave.
People in the wilderness treated them as food, and they could also treat people as food.
Li Mo couldn't help but grin at the sight of the thirty wolves.
Although the number of wolves was about the same as that of their tribe, excluding the old, weak, women, and children, there were only a dozen strong men in their tribe who could fight.
And they were facing more than thirty sturdy wolves!
"Protect the children and women!"
The elder was the first to step forward, holding his white bone club as he roared.
"Yes!"
More than ten strong men surrounded the area, cautiously looking at the wolf pack opposite them.
"Howl!"
Finally, with a howl from the Alpha, the pack of wolves launched their attack.
More than thirty wolves kept flapping their limbs as they ran into the cave.
Bloody mouths with a putrid stench assaulted his face.
But it had to be said that these strong men hunted for a living, so they had plenty of experience in fighting wild beasts.
Soon enough, a few of them thrust their spears with sharp rocks tied to them into the wolves' chests.
But what caught Li Mo's attention was the doddering elder swinging his white bone club at a wolf's head.
The unlucky wolf's head was blown off by the bone club, dying on the spot.
Li Mo's eyes shone as he muttered, "Shamans are amazing indeed.
"Wizards are indeed not simple. Despite his age, he was still able to kill a wolf with a single blow."
But there were too many wolves, and soon a few blood-curdling screams were heard.
Two strong men died in the wolves' mouths.
Li Mo's expression changed at the sight.
He looked for a few wooden clubs and took out two oval-shaped rocks.
These were flints, something Li Mo found in the past few days.
With two popping sounds, sparks splashed on the wooden club, setting it ablaze.
"Take this!"
Li Mo distributed the flaming club to everyone.
"Howl!"
As if it knew the thing in Li Mo's hand was harmful to them, the wolf howled and pounced on Li Mo.
"Beast!"
Li Mo was prepared for this move, so he only heard Li Mo's shout and spun around.
Then Li Mo smashed the flaming club down.
Li Mo's current body was only that of a twelve-year-old. How much power could it possibly have?
So Li Mo's club didn't have much power, but don't forget, it had flames on it.
"Awoo!"
The alpha wolf howled in pain the moment it touched the club.
Then, the wolf leader's fur started to burn and its body fell to the ground.
The intense pain caused the Alpha Wolf to continuously roll on the ground. As it rolled on the ground, the flames on its body gradually extinguished.
But even so, a large area of the Alpha Wolf's body was still burned, and blood kept flowing out.
With just one hit, the alpha wolf lost the ability to fight.
Seeing how effective Li Mo's casual attack was, the men were excited, swinging their clubs in all directions.
Miserable screams filled the air, but they all belonged to the wolves.
"Awoo …"
The howl was weak. As the alpha wolf's voice faded, the wolves retreated from the cave.
Then it disappeared, leaving behind four to five wolf corpses and the corpses of two tribesmen.
They drove the wolves away, but their small tribe lost two warriors, so they weren't in high spirits.
Then, under the elder's lead, the crowd buried the two strong men.
Of course, the elder had to 'perform a ritual' for these two strong men.
Then, the tribe moved to another cave.
In any case, their tribe was extremely poor, so moving was a piece of cake.
In the evening, the men, women, and children of the tribe gathered around the fire and began to roast meat.
The elder came to Li Mo's side and asked.
"You have the potential to become a sorcerer, but without a strong person to guide you in cultivation, it won't do."
Li Mo's expression changed at the elder's words.
"Do you want to take me in as a disciple?"
Li Mo knew of the existence of sorcerers, but he had no idea what they were.
But Li Mo was curious about this unknown power.
