Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 224: The Back Way
Beneath the crater, indeed, is a place similar to a crystal mine.
After the hike, someone dug out the crystal. This lowered your morale for more than a decade and excited you.
What's the purpose of this?
Didn't you just dig up more crystals? Since we can't dig in the heavenly pit, it's the same here. Besides, the leader bat has been “closed”, let alone take care of anything. Dig hard, thinking about how much you can dig while the troubled bat is away.
Another six days.
The crystals, big and small, have been packed in a bag, which is only part of the digging.
Shao Xuan estimated that about half of them had not been dug out.
These crystals are enough for all the tribal warriors.
Looking at O. Opening a beast roll, the tower sweats on his face and asks: “What did the witch say? ”
After discovering the fire crystal, O. wrote another beast roll for the witch to bring along and exchange opinions with the witch.
The delight of discovering the crystal faded a little on the Oz surface, and it looked a little serious.
“The fire crystal thing, nobody leaks! ”
At rest, O. called all the people and ordered them not to tell the others where the crystal was, how much it had been discovered and how much it had been dug out.
The last five hunting squads that came here found crystals in the crater, but this time they were under the crater and dug an underground tunnel down the hill, which needed to be kept secret.
If you don't go home, it's fine, it's all your own anyway. But then they must return to their places of origin, and once someone has told the other tribes about it, there will be a lot of trouble, even killing the war.
The less people know, the better. Fortunately, this time it was the advance team, who were all familiar, knowledgeable and trustworthy.
It was time to go out hunting and need to return to the tribe. O. did not take all the people back, leaving some of them here to watch and continue digging, and he took the other part, as well as the crystals that had been dug out, to rendezvous with the hunting team and then return to the tribe.
Shao Xuanben wanted to stay in case the leader bat suddenly came out and was rejected by O.
“The witch said to let you go back. ”
Since it was said by the witch, Shao Xuan did not insist. The witch sent him back. There must be something to tell him.
When the hunting team returned to the tribe, all the tribesmen knew about the leader's search for the spark, which could not have been concealed even if they wanted to, as long as they were not told the specific place.
Fortunately, many people in the tribe are able to listen, the chief does not speak, the witch does not speak, they do not ask much more, for them it is a great fortune to be able to use the crystal, no need to worry about anything else.
The whole tribe is filled with joy. There have been a lot of good things going on lately, back home, and crystal, all of which make them happy for a long time.
On the top of the mountain, in the stone house of the witch.
The chiefs who had just returned from the hunting grounds, two big leaders and several elderly people with a higher voice in the tribe were gathered here, as was Shao Xuan.
In the past, Shao Xuan was not eligible to participate in such meetings, but now, no one has any objections or even make some decisions, and will ask Shao Xuan for his opinions. After all, Shao Xuan is the only one who has traveled to his place of origin and returned, and knows much more than those who have been here.
“The tribe will allow all people to absorb the crystal during the sacrifice next year.” But before sacrificing, "the witch said," no one can relax. ”
You can't let go of other things because of the crystals, and how much you can absorb depends on the state and abilities of each person. Those who have a lot of dark wounds and old diseases, those who have not healed, those who are malnourished, are better able to adjust their physical condition to their best condition before sacrificing.
This time, it's no longer a matter of individual or small numbers of people, it's a matter for the entire tribe, everyone from the mountains down to the mountains, to pay attention.
O. nodded, looking at the eye tower and returning to his place, and said: "I'll take someone to the green field and bring back as many herbs as I can. ”
Many of the injuries and illnesses of the Totem warriors are not self-healing, they must rely on herbs, and the general herbs are not very effective, but they have to be on the green side.
“Put the crystal here first.” The witch also asked Shao Xuan, who had been sitting at the edge without a sound: “What does Xuan have to say? ”
“When I was there, I found that a lot of people had their own way of detecting the crystal, and if we brought a lot of crystals past, like a live target, it would probably be consumed by waves of people, especially those in the middle of the big tribe, who were not weaker than our tribe. ”
Rumor has it, people, including the chief, look at Shao Xuan and wait for his next words.
“I know that some people use jade boxes to hold the crystals, which can block all kinds of detection, but," Shao Xuan pointed at the big bag of crystals placed on the middle stone table and said, "We don't have enough jade boxes to hold the crystals, and jade stones, too, are precious over there. ”
No one around has ever discovered the jade ore, and no one has ever seen the jade stone, or the ones Shao Xuan brought back, giving everyone a preliminary understanding.
The witch laughed, “Don't worry about that. ”
Saying, the witch took out a wooden box, which was also filled with crystals, but Shao Xuan did not perceive the presence of the crystals before opening the box.
“What's this?” Shao Xuan's eyes lit up.
“This is a box made of ‘empty wood', believing that the effect of the barrier is not weaker than the jade stone. Empty wood can be found in green spaces, cut down, and brought back to make boxes after sunburn.” The witch said.
“This is good!” Slap your thighs, "I'll take someone there and cut some more back, make some empty wooden boxes, and bring all the crystals I dug back to their homeland! ”
“No, I'm not taking all the crystals.” The words of the witch stunned those who had just gotten excited.
“Why?” Everyone understands.
“" If one day we go back to our place of origin and we encounter a bigger change, "cried the witch with a faint smile." If it doesn't work, we go back here. Here, our way back, leaving some crystals, is also a guarantee. ”
Heritage, as well as continuity, is something that every tribe cannot ignore, and as a witch, what he takes into account, naturally, takes longer.
“Digged out crystals are enough for the next sacrifice to be used by all the Totem warriors. The rest, some of them will be taken with them and kept for later use, while the other part, O., will need you to put it back in the cave you dug yourself, and then close the cave and cover it up. ”
All you have to do is keep the secret of the cave with the people of O'Past. Shao Xuan said that the temptation of the crystal is very great, and the witch believes that by then outsiders will have learned the news from other people in the tribe, they will definitely look for the past, and the target is naturally the crater.
What's in the crater?
That half-king leader bat!!
“If someone is really looking for the past... let them die!” The witch's eyes were always peaceful and became sharp, leaving the people here feeling cool and shaking unconsciously.
Wang Beast, not common.
Shao Xuan knew only to this day that there was a stoneworm king in the mountain at the second position of the hunting squad with the wheat, and that he had felt that kind of pressure at a rather dangerous distance.
Every king and beast is not so annoying. Shao Xuan is only exceptional. I believe that for future outsiders, the monster will be able to cope, even if the leader bat hasn't really reached the king's level by then, it's only a half king, enough to cope.
The words of a witch silenced the people present for a while before sighing a long time.
“It is true to think more. ”
“I have no objection to that. ”
“Just do as the witch says. ”
“There's no need for anyone else to know about this. ”
When the people in the stone house have settled the matter of the fire, the witch will let them leave.
“Xuan, you stay.” The witch said.
When everyone else leaves, the witch says to Shao Xuan: "Remember to prepare for the sacrificial dance at the beginning of next year. ”
Shao Xuan smoked on the face, “Hmm."
Those dances are a little weird, but it's good to get used to it, and for that, he's got to hunt for a better prey and make new clothes. The sacrificial ceremony will not be good enough to continue wearing the old clothes. It will be laughed at, and it is thought that strength will stop.
The witch made Shao Xuan one of the sacrificial dancers, not just Shao Xuan's contribution to the tribe.
In the year Shao Xuan left, fewer people sacrificed the power of awakening totem than in the previous year. Other than that, the witch engraved two beasts, but both failed.
The warrior who raised the beast thought it was their own problem, and the beast was not well raised, so the imprint failed, but the witch knew that his own factors predominated.
At the time of engraving, the condition of the first batch of prints was not in good condition, engraved in the middle, I felt powerless to follow. At the time of engraving, none of the totems could condense to form.
The witch feels that there are also reasons for Shao Xuan, and when Shao Xuan is present, things will be much better.
Of course, these witches don't tell Shao Xuan, but every time they think about it, they can't help but go to the fire pond and give one to their ancestors and talk about their depression.
Such a talent is not a witch!
Shao Xuan had no idea of the witch's depression. He went to find O. Then he followed him to the green land a few times. Before returning to his place of origin, he looked for more herbs. One was to prepare for the future. He went back to his place of origin. There would certainly not be too many places to use the medicine. However, he had just arrived at his place of origin, and in a short time, he could not fully adapt to it. He did not know the geography of his place of origin, and the search for good herbs was laborious.
And the other reason is because of Graeme. Old Ke is older. Before sacrificing, he wants to feed Old Ke more. The better he is in physical condition when sacrificing, the more crystals he can absorb, the better for Old Ke in the future.
In other tribes, people with disabilities like Old Ke are not living well. Shao Xuan only hopes to try to improve.
Before winter arrived, the entrance to the crystal had been blocked, and the surrounding area had been covered. It was impossible to see that a tunnel had been dug there. In another couple of years, it would be even harder to see.
Before winter, Shao Xuan also prepared a lot of food for the children in the cave.
For two years, a few kids out of the cave, every winter, bring something to the kids in the cave, and now, the kids in the cave have fish they catch, they have meat from other people, one by one, they grow much stronger. Once you have it, you have a better chance of awakening.
