I don't know if Shao Xuan walked to this point because of that stoneworm king bug, but he also ran into the bug that had dragged him here before. The rest of the creatures were nowhere to be seen.

Probably because the king worm woke up and took a little walk, so the blind spiders and worms hid in their old nest?

As for the insect that Shao Xuan had just cut off, he probably came looking for it with pressure to avenge it.

If that's the case, why don't we go back to the fork and take a different path?

Shao Xuan shook his head and decided to keep following his feelings. This mountain, it's weird.

Shao Xuan rolled the cut contact angle from the insect head onto his arm. Apart from the serrated hook at the top there, the contact angle was soft and Shao Xuan did not feel any pain wrapped around his arm.

Shao Xuan doesn't know where he is now in the mountains, because, staying in the mountains until now, he increasingly finds that the sense of direction that used to be strong is not useful at all, which is a strange phenomenon.

Even if he played maze games in his last life, he could remember where he walked in the maze, and he could quickly find the right place when many people felt headaches and were in confused directions. Even if Shao Xuan were allowed to return from the hunting route, he would be able to follow the route exactly. But now, Shao Xuan is confused.

There are many caves in the mountains, in addition to the Stone Bug King Bug, there are a variety of other creatures, the Eyeless Spider and the insect Shao Xuan cut off are just two of them.

Rationally, there should be traces of all kinds of life in the cave, but unfortunately, no trace can be found in the cave at all. No scratches, no other wreckage, no spider silk worm armor, as if nothing ever existed. It's like every time the hunting team marks a cave in the mountain, and then walks away, all the tracks disappear.

If the power of totem can really tell the lost to choose the right direction and path, how can those ancestors be lost?

According to the feeling, Shao Xuan continues to walk forward. When encountering a fork, he also feels carefully, with the special ability of the body, to choose which one to go. Shao Xuan only hopes, intuition of this thing, don't strike, don't lie to him, otherwise he will die, like Langa and the ancestors who opened the hunting route, can no longer go back.

Shao Xuan uses that special ability to do better than the intuitive sensation of the spark.

Shao Xuan felt himself walking down. He probably left the hillside position long ago and reached the bottom of the mountain. But that kind of sensation kept Shao Xuan going.

On the way back, we also encountered some small worms with big fists. In Shao Xuan's field of view, they were just a bunch of gray and white, and all we could see was a rough, hazy outline.

A bug approached Shao Xuan, and Shao Xuan threw them all away with a tentacle whip on his hand. The little bugs seemed a little scared of the smell of the tentacle whip, and when Shao Xuan threw the tentacle whip past, they were shunned like they were in shock.

Shao Xuan speculated that these little bugs were probably the usual food for the big, long-angled bug, and look at their panicked appearance.

In addition to the long tentacle whip, the tooth knife also carries the smell of the tentacles.

The surrounding cave walls are densely lined with fist-sized insects, and Shao Xuan can even clearly hear the small and dense clicks they make on the cave walls.

But Shao Xuan passed away, and all the bugs avoided.

Wouldn't it be very troublesome right now if that touchworm hadn't been resolved? Even if these insects are small, they are too numerous to cope with.

I was just trying to get revenge by chopping off that caterpillar, and I didn't expect to see that coming.

The unusual sensing is getting stronger and stronger. If the breeze had just gently moved the downwind direction target before, it would now be a shouting blast, pointing quite clearly.

This shouldn't be the way out of the mountains, but either the power of Totem or that special ability means letting him go that way.

What the hell is that?

Treasure?

Though clearly pointed, Shao Xuan did not accelerate his steps, but still maintained the pace of his earlier steps and remained vigilant around him.

Okay, except for the little bugs, there are no other creatures here.

Getting closer…

Shao Xuan grabbed the knife in the shake of his hand and was a little nervous.

After walking in the cave for so long, Shao Xuan could feel the slightest wind movement, but now, the further he moves forward, the more he feels that there is no way forward.

Keep moving, the bugs are gradually disappearing around the walls.

It was quiet around, and when the little bugs were all gone, there was nothing left but silence.

I can't even feel the flow of air, except there's no other sound.

In front, there seems to be light...

Shao Xuan paced. Light?

In a different perspective, it's still black, and you can only see that light point in the dark with a special ability of vision.

Continuing towards that light point, Shao Xuan suddenly felt unnamed in his heart.

I can't tell you exactly what it feels like, like some sort of... ancient smell, cool, and endless sadness.

The light grew louder and louder, like a light mask, covering that small area.

When Shao Xuan finally approached him and saw the scene inside the light mask, his eyelids jumped.

In the light shield, there are four skeletons, at least in Shao Xuan's field of view.

The person was kneeling in the middle of the mask, and the other three were surrounded by the person.

The four skeletons, all kneeling in the same position, were used to kneel in the tribal sacrifice as the highest gift of totem - kneeling on both knees, hands staggered in front of the forehead, prostrating themselves in the same direction.

Around them, spears, stone knives, etc. are inserted into the ground. In Shao Xuan's field of view, these tool weapons are extremely dark colors, especially the spears near the person in the center, and it can be seen that these stones are the finest or even the finest stones. At the same time, it shows that these people were very capable fighters in their lifetime, especially the one in the centre, and certainly do not have a low status in the tribe.

And the four kneeling, although the sense of direction is now confused, Shao Xuan just has the feeling that that direction, must be the direction of the tribe.

Shao Xuan's gaze swept over the four sentences of the skeleton and the stoneware next to them, and then stood on his knees on the skeleton in the middle.

The skeleton is wearing a bone accessory on the chest of the skeleton. I don't know what creature the bone is made of. The bone accessory is brighter in Shao Xuan's field of view than the bone colors of the four skeletons here.

Since obtaining this special ability, Shao Xuan has explored, knowing that the different levels of the Totem Warrior bone colors are different, the primary Totem Warrior bones are dark white, the intermediate warrior is white, and the higher level, such as the tribal leader O., is bright white. At this time, the bone colors of these four skeletons are bright white. Although the degree of brightness is different, it is true, especially with the middle one being brightest. But even then, they can't compare to the light of the bone trim.

However, this is still not the main issue.

The most important thing that attracts Shao Xuan's eyes is a round ball on the bone trim. It's not a bone, but like a light bulb, it illuminates the surrounding area, the light shield that Shao Xuan sees.

Switching horizons, retrieving special abilities, looking with normal eyes, is still pitch black, can't see any light, but then changing the field of view that special abilities can see, that sphere is still bright, allowing the surrounding area to be covered in its bright light.

After another look, Shao Xuan also found that the middle skeleton remained intact, but the three surrounding skeletons were different. Some of the skeletons that they had touched the ground had been partially removed from the stone surface in the hole, and the closer they were to the edge of the light shield, the deeper they were trapped.

Within the confines of the mask, you can also see some scattered stoneware, the stone material is good, but some are underground, revealing only part of the outside.

Shao Xuan did not see any stone tools, skeletons, etc., outside the lighting area.

This mountain will “eat” people. It's not just about eating people, it's about eating other things, like the insect that Shao Xuan has cut off, and if no other creature eats it, the wreckage of the insect may turn out to be like this, gradually swallowed up by the mountain.

This mountain has eaten a lot, and there are dead people, dead bugs, and things that have been left behind, except for those holes.

But now, the human and stone objects in the mask, even after centuries, have been preserved because of that light sphere.
