Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 129 Engraving
The sun's rays gradually faded and two rounds of the moon appeared over the mountain forest.
Some nocturnal animals gradually emerge and most fly back to their nests.
Over the branches of the trees where Shao Xuan is located, there are many nests, but Shao Xuan does not proactively mess with them.
These birds don't look big, they look nice, but in fact, they're very dangerous, and if they're seriously injured animals or just die, they'll flock and start eating.
There was a bird fighting above, and a bird fell from its nest and fell on the branch where Shao Xuan stood.
He turned his back and shook his wings. The bird looked at Shao Xuan.
At night, his vision was not good, but his sense of smell was sensitive, he smelled Caesar's blood and he felt Caesar's weakness.
Preparing to shake his wings back to the birds in the nest, he changed his mind and rushed past in the direction of Caesar, opening his mouth to see some fine pointed teeth, with the edges of the beak serrated and a bite to scrape off a piece of meat.
As the bird flew in, Shao Xuan quickly stepped forward, holding the stone knife's right hand and stabbing it out.
Excited by the smell of blood, Shao Xuan's flying birds were completely ignored, and the clouds of death rose in his heart.
The next moment, Shao Xuan's stone knife penetrated the bird's body.
Without looking at the bird again, Shao Xuan shook his arm and threw the bird on the stone knife towards the trunk.
On the other end of the branch, there is a hole in the trunk that emits a bright green light, glittering.
As Shao Xuan threw the bird over, an open mouth instantly appeared at the mouth of the tree, swallowed the bird directly into it, then retracted into the hole, the bright green light continued to flash, attracting some nighttime flying insects here, and then ate them.
It's a tree bug that lives in a tree, and during the day it doesn't look like any other worm, but at night it emits fluorescence on its body to feed on it.
There are still a lot of birds staring at the tree. If Caesar stays here, it won't take a few minutes, there will be only bones left. The birds are just inactive at night, not inactive and unable to eat, and they won't let go of any weak animal.
Shao Xuan did not sleep. Even if he stayed on the tree at night, he was only a little safer. There were still many crises on the tree, and he had to be vigilant at all times.
Shao Xuan had previously found several herbs for Caesar while looking for vines to stretcher, but the effect was not good. Over time, Caesar's condition continued to deteriorate.
After all, Caesar is not a Totem warrior. If he has the resilience of a Totem warrior, he can hold on for a while. The Totem warrior's own healing ability can keep many people going to the tribe.
But Caesar, just an ordinary wolf, was born with conditions that prevented him from becoming, in the short term, a more capable beast, even a fierce beast, in terms of physical qualities, than most of the wolves in the new wolf pack.
Its own healing capacity is limited. This Shao Xuan cannot be changed.
With this in mind, Shao Xuan not only sighed in his heart, but was a little sad. After all, soon after he arrived in the world, he began to feed Caesar.
More than two years…
Thinking about it, Shao Xuan suddenly stunned.
Healing?
Yes, healing!
Caesar's own ability to heal is not immutable, and as long as Caesar can change from a normal beast to a vicious beast, even if he cannot become one, his overall ability will last longer.
And one way to make Caesar change from a beast to a beast in the short term is to imprint the secrets recorded in the ancient volumes!
According to ancient training, the goal of using engraving secrets is strictly required. And Caesar, once he can follow the hunt, the second degree of loyalty is fine. Even if some of them do not fully meet the ancestors' requirements, Shao Xuan decided to give it a try.
Imprinting secrets, Shao Xuan is not absolutely sure yet, so it has never worked on Caesar, but now there is no alternative to this one.
Try, it may fail, it may succeed. If it fails, Caesar will not see tomorrow's sun, and if it succeeds, Caesar will survive.
Without it, Caesar will surely die.
“Hey, man,” Shaw Xuan touched Caesar's wolf head, "there's a way to save you. If you succeed, you'll become more powerful, maybe even a vicious beast. If you fail, you'll have to say goodbye to the world. ”
Caesar opened his eyes and tried to touch Shao Xuan's hand with his nose, but he was powerless and could only open his eyes and look at Shao Xuan.
The wind blew through the night for a while, the branches swayed, and some faint moonlight penetrated through the leaf gap, illuminating Caesar's eyes. The reflected light makes these wolf eyes look a little scary, like two flashing lights. In the mountains, a lot of animals look like that at night.
Shao Xuan was not afraid, but lifted his hand and touched Caesar's wolf's head, “Okay, you just have to agree. Hang on, man, Old Ke's still waiting at home, and there's a bunch of kids in the tribe waiting for you to teach them a lesson. Without you, they might not stay long enough to get laid. And the wolves who killed your people. They're not dead. Do you want revenge? ”
Engraving secrets is not only about the will of the practitioner, but also about the will of the recipient. If the other party is willing to accept it, the success rate will be greater. If the will of both parties conflicts, the chances of failure are higher. Even if it succeeds, the effect will not be good, and the creator of the vicious beast may rebel. That is why the ancestors preferred to pick less, but also the most faithful of them.
And Caesar's current state is not conducive to engraving secrets, but Shao Xuan wants to stimulate his desire for survival in order to make it more likely to succeed.
Potential under despair is unpredictable, hence the claim of a Jedi counterattack and the rebirth of a shower fire.
After two words with Caesar, Shao Xuan also stopped dragging, while Caesar was still awake, let's begin.
Simply make a fence around the area with a cane to prevent other little beasts from coming along the way.
Shao Xuan doesn't know exactly what kind of engraving secrets will cause, but here, he is willing to take a chance.
Hand the stone knife over to your left hand, and Shao Xuan squatted and extended his right hand to Caesar.
Reflecting on the records on the ancient volumes, as well as the weekday exercises, Shao Xuan began to mobilize the power of inheritance in his body.
In the sea of consciousness, at the bottom of the totem flame, close to the two corners, the blue flame gradually increases and a hint of blue separates from it.
At the same time, under Shao Xuan's right hand, a hint of blue began to form a diagonal shape, not just a graphic on the plane, but a three-dimensional totem shape, just far less large than that of the tribal fire pond, only walnut size.
The angles gradually formed, and when the drawing was complete, some blue flames began to converge around the angles, and then, from above the blue flames, the red flames began to appear.
In the process, Shao Xuan did not dare to be slightly so-so. A slight error could cause the imprint to fail and the totem to dissipate. When the red flame finally appeared and stabilized, Shao Xuan's heart relaxed slightly, proving the success of the totem portrayed by the power of inheritance. But that's just the beginning.
After the “engraving” is done, the "engraving” is done.
After the success of the totem engraving, Shao Xuan moved his palm and printed it down towards Caesar's forehead.
Totem moved with Shao Xuan's hand. When touching Caesar, it was not immediately printed in. Shao Xuan felt the resistance in his hand, but he was not worried. It was recorded in the ancient volume. When printed, there would be great resistance. After all, people who were not even from his tribe, would naturally have some resistance.
Without stopping, Shao Xuan continued to slowly print the totem. You can't rush, but you can't slow down. You have to grasp the speed. This ancient volume doesn't make it clear. Shao Xuan can only use his instincts.
With the pressure of Shao Xuan's palm, the diagonal totem slowly imprinted into Caesar's head.
The palm of his hand was affixed to Caesar's forehead, and Shao Xuan did not immediately retract his hand after printing the totem completely, but rather helped him to comb it and guide the flow of the force of the totem within Caesar.
Caesar, still conscious, began to mobilize this emerging power, following Shao Xuan's guidance.
It knows what this is, and at the end of each winter, it feels this power when the tribes perform sacrificial rituals, but differently, on the first two occasions it has been afraid of nothing but evasion, but now it feels close.
When Caesar's consciousness began to dominate, Shao Xuan withdrew his hand.
I wiped the sweat off my forehead and looked around. If there was an animal or a beast attack, it would really fail. Fortunately, nothing happened for the time being.
Look at Caesar lying on the branches. Shao Xuan can only help here. In the engraving, all he can do is look at Caesar himself. If it can master and accept this capability, it will succeed, and if it can't, it won't last long.
Soon, Shao Xuan discovered that Caesar was trembling, and the more he trembled, his whole body began to twitch.
Pfft!
The blood from Caesar's mouth spilled directly on Shao Xuan's body.
Knock, knock!
With the crisp sound of the bone, Caesar swelled all the way around, only the bone was held up, the fur was attached to the bone, and the whole appeared to be like a clavicle.
What's going on?
Shao Xuan looked at the situation in shock.
There is no such reaction in the ancient volumes, which only say that when the accompanying hounds merge successfully with the totems, they will grow into a stronger beast in a short period of time than other beasts of their kind, and even stronger beasts. But by "short time” in ancient volumes, we don't mean minutes, hours, but dozens of days!
But now, just a few minutes after it was engraved, changes began to happen to Caesar.
Shao Xuan did not know if it was the same as his ancestors had said, and these were not documented in detail.
Shao Xuan kept an eye on Caesar's condition. The fractured bone had been reshaped and had grown a lap. His visceral wounds were unknown. The bleeding had stopped with two large pieces of flesh on his body, and one could still see the prominent bone.
Although the changes before us exceed Shao Xuan's expectations and differ from those recorded by his ancestors in ancient volumes, Shao Xuan can feel that Caesar's vitality is becoming stronger. Although this process is not as obvious as the changes on the surface, such changes are a good phenomenon indeed.
Above, staring closely at Shao Xuan and Caesar, he waited for the birds who had seized the opportunity to sneak back into the nest and hide, no longer looking down, one loaded with quails.
Inside the tree cave, the luminous green insect also climbs deep into the cave, and even the fluorescence on the body is faint.
