Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 54: A worm under the mountain
The weak in the mountain forest are the most vulnerable to attack. Therefore, Shao Xuan has always been mentally watching the surroundings. He is now an underage child. In the eyes of wild beast and Ominous Beast, he is one of the weakest two in this team. .
When passing through the basin, already was approaching the evening. Shao Xuan thought that there would be a cave dedicated to rest. After all, the rule of Hunting Team is not to go out for hunting at night, but it is too dangerous to stay outside. This place is not A cave break always feels insecure.
Unexpectedly Shao Xuan, the cave in the second stronghold is not on this side.
The second hunting ground is on the other side of the mountain, but ...
Shao Xuan looked up and saw mountain top and mountains without borders. It is too difficult to turn over. Even with the powerful physical strength of Totem Warrior, one day may not be able to turn over, let alone time is late. In the jungle near mountain foot, already has many shiny eyes staring at this side.
Mai took Hunting Team and did not stop there, but continued to walk up the mountain.
There is indeed a hole near mountain side. The hole is very large, and it is not naturally formed, nor was it deliberately cut by a tribe, but a hole drilled by some creature.
To be precise, that is actually a passageway. Hunting Team will come in from here every time you come over. You can walk to the other side of the mountain and pass directly through it.
On the wall of the cave near the entrance, densely carved with words. In the last place, Shao Xuan saw Mai's name.
Each of the Team Leader leaders will write their own names when they pass here. Therefore, the above names are all written by Team Leader of Hunting Squad in the previous tribe. Wait for Mai to continue to lead the team. New After the squad Team Leader was selected, when coming here, the new Team Leader will also write its own name. To them, this is a symbol of honor.
Before entering the hole, Hunting Team Member will hold a small ceremony to thank the ancestors who pioneered this hunting route.
Mai places long spear in his hand, knees on one knee, palms inward, hands crossed on his forehead, and bows down to the wall full of names.
"To the ancestors !!!"
"Hello!"
Shao Xuan followed other Hunting Team members and expressed their gratitude.
It is said that the paths taken by each Hunting Squad were taken by the ancestors. A long time ago, when the tribe was understaffed, there were not so many Hunting Squads. Each time they went hunting, they changed their routes one by one. This time Take this one, go hunting on that route next time, and change another one next time.
Later, there were more people in the tribe, so they separated into several teams. Each of the hunting routes developed by the ancestors had an Hunting Squad to go there.
The reason to follow the route is to avoid unknown and unexpected factors. What kind of wild beast does each hunting route have? How much is Ominous Beast? What is the geographical environment? These can be obtained from the experience of hunting Warrior from generation to generation, and if you go too far in this route, you can't respond in time if you encounter anything, then there will be greater losses.
Of course, hunting route is just a general direction for development. On this basis, it can be used freely. For example, Mai's Hunting Team, the route is to cross the mountain where the first stronghold is located, and then pass through the basin, and then walk through the current mountain to the other side of the mountain.
As for some people in the tribe who have their own ideas and want to open up new routes, except Shaman and the common decision of the leader, don't think about it.
What? Paranoid that you have a new hunting route?
You could it be that are better than their ancestors?
It is absolutely impossible!
The new route ca n’t be opened casually. could it be that Do you think this route is not good?
Is this true? How dare you doubt the ancestors! Believe it or not? !!
...
The people of the tribe always stick to the things passed down by the ancestors. Even if there are many decisions that are not suitable for Shao Xuan, the people of the tribe don't think that they are wrong.
In addition to being loyal to Totem, the people of the tribe also have worship and trust beyond the ancestors of Shao Xuan. Even if the ancestors climbed out of the ground and told them that there is only one moon in the sky today, the people of the tribe will have no Do not hesitate to nod.
This is also the result of brainwashing education for calendar future shaman. It is passed down from generation to generation.
Each generation of Hunting Team's Team Leader leads the team to hunt. They always feel that if they walk through the roads of their ancestors, they can be worthy of their ancestors and can be worthy of the hunting route developed by their ancestors. Just look at the names written on the stone walls of the cave entrance. Those Team Leader have similar ideas.
After entering the cave, ignite the fire. Hunting Team did not go in. According to the previous habit, after entering the cave, I will spend the night at the entrance of the cave. I will walk in early in the morning tomorrow. I need to click through the cave. Time because it is not a straight line.
"How did this hole lead to the other side of the mountain?" Shao Xuan asked Lang Ga while resting around the fire.
"When the ancestors found here, the hole already existence was found. It is said that there is an stone worm king insect under the mountain, and all the winding roads in the mountain were drilled by it." Lang Ga said.
"Stone Worm ?!" Shao Xuan was surprised, this near-circular passage was at least ten meters high, and listening to Mai they said that in addition to the passages connecting the two sides inside the mountain, there are many roads that go underground or towards mountain top . It is unexpected that a perforated cave channel of this scale was actually made by Stone Worm? !!
How big is that!
It's almost incomparable with Stone Worm used as fishing bait!
However, this should be the earliest ancestors who came here to open up hunting route. As for whether there is really Stone Worm, it needs to be verified.
"Well ... have anyone of the ancestors ever seen the Stone Worm at the foot of the mountain?" Shao Xuan asked. It has been many years since the original generation of Hunting Team came here to open the route. Even if the tribe Hunting Team has not spent much time here, who has seen it?
"This isn't true." Lang Ga still doubts when seeing Shao Xuan, and said: "But if you listen, there will be a sound in the hole, there must be stone worm king insect."
Shao Xuan listened carefully to the ear, there were indeed some very small whistles, but that was not necessarily caused by Stone Worm. Since there are many holes in the mountain, the wind blows in from one hole, and then blows out of the other holes. There will also be such a sound.
I still have a lot of doubts in my heart, but if I look at Lang Ga, I wo n’t get the answer even if I ask Shao Xuan. No longer arguing with these stubborn people, Shao Xuan turned to ask: "What's on the mountain side? How is it different from the mountain side?"
Sure enough, Lang Ga's attention was quickly diverted.
"Different? Actually, the biggest difference is that there are a lot of huge birds over the mountain." Lang Ga stretched his arms for a gesture. although had limited arms, but looking at the exaggerated expression on his face, Shao Xuan knew that. It must be really very, very big.
In fact, if you think about it, Shao Xuan found that from entering the forest to the present, large raptors are rarely seen. although has a lot of already in Shao Xuan, but according to Lang Ga, on the other side of the mountain, there are Larger and more aggressive raptor existence. Some of the feathers on the Warriors heads of the tribe Snow Festival sacrificial ceremony were probably hunted on the side of the mountain.
