Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 34: Finger Length
After the hunting team left, the tribe regained its usual rhythm of life.
However, unlike last year, the river was very lively. After experiencing initial fear of unknown creatures in the river's waters, the fear of creatures in the river's waters has dissipated because of the benefits of those large mouthed piranhas.
Turns out, what's in the river isn't that scary, just be careful and you'll get enough food.
The cave, under the joint management of slaughter and stutter, was stable, with daily fishing operations and enough food, and a small plate less thin than in previous years. At the same time, cave children are becoming more and more united. If they are not united, they can only be united outside. Individual abilities are too small to take advantage when fishing.
As for the stone worm, Shao Xuan will now take Caesar to catch the stone worm every two days, grab enough stone worm and save it for the children in the hole.
The stone could not be tied to the stone worm, and the stone worm was loaded with a stone can, but the next day it was found to have broken a hole and the stone worm was gone. But the butchers stumbled upon the fact that they were less rigid than stones, but could trap them better than stones, even though they could not be trapped for too long, but a day or two would be absolutely fine. That solves the problem of Caesar running that way every day.
Shao Xuan still went to the training ground in the morning to find the stone core, then went to Lao Ke in the afternoon to learn the stone technique.
After more than a dozen days in a row, Shao Xuan felt much more powerful than he had just woken up. He also became more skilled at controlling the power of totem and was more comfortable switching between the two abilities in his body.
It seems that stone technique is also very useful for controlling the power of totem.
Shao Xuan passed between the woods like a spiritual monkey towards the spot he had seen yesterday. The shadow flashed, the branches swayed slightly, and the voice was very small, as if it were just a breeze.
Caesar ran behind.
Shao Xuan did not have to worry about the presence of fierce beasts, so he deliberately managed to control the sound only for future hunting activities. Hunting often involves diving, quietly approaching the prey, hiding the breath, and a slightly louder movement can shock the prey or other incompetent beasts.
Shao Xuan had seen Langa and Mai's potential, and Mai walked silently, still a short distance from them.
Shao Xuan also saw many of the same awakened children, including Sai, in the mountains of the training ground.
“Hey, is that Xuan?” Theodore looked at the glittering figure in the woods and said. Shao Xuan is naturally fast and difficult to capture for those who do not have the power to awaken totem, but for other Totem warriors who have awakened for many years it is nothing.
He had jumped more than a hundred times with a big rock in his arms. When I heard my father's words, Sai looked over, and Shao Xuan had disappeared from the woods.
“What are you looking at?! Keep jumping!” Seta's father knocked a rock stick on his ass and scolded, "You can't even beat Axel, two years younger than you! ”
“What's so great about it?” The race is disgusting.
“Hey, you whisper, I say yes! Jump! Jump to 200 to rest.” Saitama's father knocked on two sticks again.
“It's one hundred and seventy-two!” Just 28 more jumps. Think about it. Think about it. Are you going to catch a rock flying mouse or find something to eat? I don't know if there are any crisp green fruits that I ate the other day.
Sai Pharyngeal spit, thinking with anticipation, heard his father stare into his eyes and said: “Do you think I don't count?! There's only one hundred and twenty-seven and seventy-three more! ”
Anger racing almost threw away the big rock you were holding. That's how his father behaves. Wrong is right, and he has to admit it without admitting it. Debate with him? You'll get beat up.
Shit!
Sai couldn't stare at his old man, so he blamed Shao Xuan for this.
Shao Xuan, who was not aware of another bill, was busy picking stones. There are many stones in training, but few can be used to make stones. Even if he relies on his special ability to distinguish the grade of stone, he cannot quickly find the most suitable, because even good stone is not necessarily suitable for filmmaking. So every morning Shao Xuan spends a few hours picking stones and then brings them back with a nice stone core suitable for filmmaking.
Following Old Ke these days, Shao Xuan has also made a lot of progress in the identification of stone materials, unlike the past two eyes blackened, look at any stone is the same.
When Shao Xuan searched for the stone core, Caesar was bored and went to the mountain to dig holes and jump around the stone flying rat. Every time Shao Xuan picked the stone core, he found several dead stone flying rats next to Caesar.
Sometimes Shao Xuan looked at Caesar very guilty, a good wolf, stunned to nurture himself like this.
In the afternoon, Shao Xuan went to Old Ke with a picked stone core.
Old Ke taught Shao Xuan how to judge the best angle of stone filming and striking the countertop, what kind of stone is suitable for doing. Then, Old Ke sat next to Shao Xuan and hit the stone leaves.
Take off the leather coat and Shao Xuan starts knocking with the hammer.
After the first few days of knocking, the animal leather coat was soaked with sweat, the water could be screwed out with a little twist, and then Shao Xuan dumped the animal leather coat directly next to it, saving the sweat a smell.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
……
Every afternoon the banging starts.
One hammer, two hammers.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
As if tired, Shao Xuan kept knocking on the core of the stone, a large stone core, and became smaller and smaller as a slice of stone leaves fell smaller than the previous day.
After knocking one, Shao Xuan didn't rest, then knocking on the second and third...
At the end of the three knocks, Shao Xuan's whole person was like falling into a water tank and being fished out.
Refilling a little moisture, Shao Xuan stood beside him, listening to Old Ke explain the details to pay attention to when polishing later, what shape of stone leaves should be polished, and how the rest of the stone core should be polished.
Lao Ke said that each stone had its own story, and even the best stone masters could not necessarily interpret each stone. But every time Old Ke explained to Shao Xuan, he tried to teach him what he had learned so far.
Shao Xuan listened carefully, many seemingly irrelevant words actually hid many skills.
After listening to Professor Lao Ke, Shao Xuan continued for a moment of rest, but the next step was not film production, but grinding.
If you want to meet Old Grad's high standards, whether it's film stripping or grinding in the back, you need to be more careful, more refined, and more precise in grinding to control the power of totem.
This is not an easy thing. Shao Xuan is immersed in the grinding. All consciousness is concentrated on the stone tools being grinded. It doesn't feel obvious. Once the grinding is complete, the consciousness is restored, the head becomes swollen and painful. Sometimes it stings like being tapered by a cone, and the forehead is constantly seeping out bean-sized sweat.
Old man said it was normal, that's how he came.
Though painstaking, the results are also remarkable, and Shao Xuan's control over the power of totem is more precise.
Satisfaction appeared in the eyes of the old man sitting next to him. Shao Xuan has grown far more than he imagined. Over the years, Old Ke has met many people who have learned to polish stone tools, but no one can do it like Shao Xuan!
Many people are not necessarily able to achieve Shao Xuan in six months or even a year or two. Of course, there are also good things to do. It took less than 50 days like Langa in that year. Langa's grandfather was still wearing a beard in front of Old Ke.
But how long did Shao Xuan learn? A dozen days!
Old Ke really wants to go up to the mountain right away to find the old guy who made the bow to “talk to." But wait a little longer, wait a little longer...
I was thinking about the old man knowing what kind of “nice” face he would have later. Gram's eyes suddenly froze and suddenly glared at him like he saw something incredible.
It is not uncommon for Shao Xuan to reveal a totem pattern on his body. During this time, Shao Xuan will use the power of totem, and the totem on his body will naturally reveal itself.
And Old Ke was not shocked by the totem pattern, what he saw in front of him was even more unbelievable than when he saw Shao Xuan film and used the power of totem!
The tribe knows that the newly awakened warrior, only at the moment of awakening by the fire pond, will show all the totem lines, and after the sacrifice, the totem lines will contract, and the totem lines that would have covered the entire arm will shrink to the upper arm, slightly past the shoulder, and the totem lines on the legs will shrink as well.
Therefore, when awakening and then using the force of totem, all the totem lines shown are not elbows, but knees, which is the symbol of the primary totem warrior. When one day the totem is over the elbow over the knee, it's time to upgrade from a junior totem fighter to an intermediate fighter. This is the most direct and effective way to identify the Totem Warrior level.
In hunting, in the face of countless dangerous beasts and threats to their lives, the Totem pattern can only be extended once and for all, but the length of the extension is limited. Many people have 10 years of hunting experience, and the Totem pattern cannot be overelbowed, which means that they are still in the junior Totem warrior stage and progress is extremely slow.
But what about Shao Xuan now?
Old man's eyelids jumped. He clearly remembered that when Shao Xuan first came to learn to use the power of totem, the totem pattern on his upper arm, like the others who had just woken up, was only slightly over his shoulder.
And now, the totem pattern on Shao Xuan's upper arm has extended the length of his little thumb to the front end of his arm!
Before this, Old Ke did not pay attention to the totem pattern of Shao Xuan's arm. He just wondered when Shao Xuan would reach the level of intermediate warrior. He just wore the totem pattern of Shao Xuan's upper arm. I didn't expect to find anything like this. How can he not see the length of the totem stretch on Shao Xuan's arm?!
Don't underestimate the length of your fingers in this section, something that is not necessarily possible for years!
But how long has Shao Xuan been awake?
At this rate, how far will intermediate Totem warriors go?
Old Grant just thought his eyelids were beating harder.
