Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 473: Tribal Secrets
There was a crystal on the ground, half of it had been dug out by the fierce fox, and now it's all frozen up and we have to dig it again.
But the three chiefs had better weapons tools, more energy, and lighting of luminous crystals, and the three of them dug up quickly. However, be vigilant when digging to prevent others from coming, such as the Fox and the others of the Forest tribe.
Shao Xuan intends to jump into the pit where the crystal was dug out. The pit walls are filled with white ice. He first put down a rope and slipped down along the grass rope.
The pit is deep, slippery, or more convenient with a rope.
After Shao Xuan's pit, he landed directly where the giant beast had stayed.
The giant beast left, and it is now a long tunnel, surrounded by a layer of white ice, thin but frozen with rock formations, very hard.
The temperature was very low, and Shao Xuan felt no enthusiasm for the breath coming out.
He could feel that there were crystals all around the tunnel, and maybe the giant beast stayed in a place like this because of the crystals. Like that Bat King once.
But after all these years, this snake hasn't even come out. Sleep for hundreds of years? It's long enough, I don't know how big it is.
Waving his sword, he broke the ice next to him, dug out a crystal embedded in the wall of the hole, and felt it. Shao Xuan discovered that this crystal should have been absorbed, just not completely absorbed.
The snake?
Whatever the amount, Shao Xuan can move faster, wave the sword on his hand without the need for luminous crystals. Under special view, he can see the crystals on the wall of the hole clearly, and his hands are accurate.
So-so!
For a while, throughout the tunnel, the sound of digging for crystals echoed, as did the sound of their digging over the pit.
When Xuanluo finished picking up the crystal above, they even turned over what was hidden from the frozen person on the side of the fox and put it all in their own leather bag. The three of them jumped into the long “tunnel” below.
“I was going to come with the fierce fox this time and rob the salt mine. I didn't expect to rob them of the crystal.” Thai River leader laughed.
Anyway, getting the crystal has been a bit of a consolation.
The ones on the fox's side have been dug into the crystal layer, and each crystal is bigger than the ones in the salt hole in the corner.
The three chiefs took a short break and continued their action. No one knows how long the monster will be gone, they can only take advantage of this opportunity to dig more, when the monster returns, they will withdraw.
“I haven't seen so many crystals for so long.” The chief of the Thai River was in a hurry to breathe, wondering if he was tired or happy.
“I've lived for almost 80 years and never seen so many crystals.” Mountain wind tribes sighed.
Shao Xuan excavated the crystal and was silent.
The chief of the Thai River took a glance and did not speak.
Don't look at the three chiefs, who all look about 40 years old, but they're not, they're all much bigger than they are.
Perhaps others who do not know the Horn Tribes do not, but the Thai Tribes who have been with the Horn for a long time understand that the average life expectancy of the Horn Tribes is the shortest of all tribes.
This was only later learned by Shao Xuan. On the other side of the sea, he sensed it. He was just unsure. He came here to find out the truth. Many places in the Horn are different, but there is only one that is different from the rest of the tribe, just like the most ordinary people who have no power whatsoever: life.
Many of the Thai River tribesmen who came here this time are over 100 years old, but they still seem to be in their prime years. But if they are in the Flaming Horn tribe, over 100 years old, even if they are alive, they will never be able to hunt, they can only help the fields, and they cannot work too tiredly. At the end of their lives, they age fast.
Because their lives, they're incomplete.
This was something that I didn't think of when the spark split.
The sense of guilt in the hands of their ancestors at that time was so strong that not only were they unable to return to their places of origin, but, more importantly, they perceived the punishment inflicted on them by the division of the spark - they did not have a full life span.
They are Horned, stronger than other tribes in many ways, but with a knife hanging over their lifespan, they will be mercilessly cut off without waiting for them to take the full path.
This thing, on the other side of the ocean, maybe the witch also knows, just didn't tell anyone else, plus the flaming horn tribe over there, has been isolated from the world, and no one can detect such defects, no negative emotions or pressures. The people on this side, the tribes, don't communicate much with the outside world, and most people don't know it. Perhaps some of the warriors know that they are just holding their hearts.
In that time, the ancestors of the tribe were allowed to marry an outsider, and perhaps also wanted to see if they could solve the problem, unfortunately, without any effect, the blood line of the flaming horn was too strong to hold the blood line of the outsider.
At first, Shao Xuan came here. Most of the ancestors' notes he saw were just notebooks with tremendous guilt, but did not directly mention the reason. Until Shao Xuan returned to the tribe from Gongjiashan, when he practiced controlling the power of ancestral bone decoration, the witch told him.
Many people in the tribe do not know the reason why, even if they know that their tribe does not have a longer life span than other tribes. Others feel that it is because the life span of the Horn people is supplemented by strength, they are given divine power, so they strip away other things, so that many people are psychologically balanced.
Witches don't tell them, and they don't want them to have incredible hopes. Generations passed, nearly a millennium ago, and they still haven't been able to go back, and I don't know when it started, this thing was selectively forgotten, and only the highest level of the tribe knew, the sorcerer knew, and no one else knew the real reason for it.
Shao Xuan's arrival is a light, a hope.
Over the past year, the witch has sent several people to the beach. Shao Xuan originally came to the place, waiting for only one opportunity to move with the entire tribe. Unfortunately, no opportunity has been identified. No one knows how long it will take for that opportunity to happen again.
Back... How?
Shao Xuan thought, and the action of digging for the spark became distracted.
The leader of the mountain breeze is still wondering, what's with the atmosphere? I felt suddenly depressed.
“I'll check around first.” Shao Xuan handed the excavated crystal to Zhenluo and ran along the tunnel.
Running, Shao Xuan recognized the orientation and calculated the distance until he came to a stop and looked at the top of the "tunnel”. This should be closer to the salt hole in their flaming corner, not directly above, but above the slope.
Digging did not begin immediately, Shao Xuan first continued along the “tunnel” until he reached the end of the tunnel. This is where the Beast came out of the ground. But the hole has been blocked by ice, a very thick layer of ice, blocking the whole hole, the closer it gets to the hole, the colder it gets.
Shao Xuan did not walk over, but listened carefully, did not hear the outside royal beast activity, then returned.
Wang Beast froze the hole and should not have meant to come back for a short time.
He called them and said what he meant. He intends to start digging under the flaming salt hole.
If they were stuck here for a few more days, would they come down from the fox's place every time if they were digging for the crystal? The fierce fox is obviously being targeted by the monster. If it was in the past, I wonder if it would piss off the monster. Moreover, a large proportion of the people of the fierce fox and forest tribe are not here. If they come back, both sides will inevitably fight. At this time, there is no need to consume them.
The four of us totaled and decided to do so.
Where to dig, not dig?
Shao Xuan quickly waved his sword, blocking the shovel of the manicured sword, breaking the ice layer of the "tunnel", and excavating a piece of rock from the rock wall.
The conscription of the three of them also intensified.
The situation outside is unclear. We can't leave immediately. Why don't we get some more crystals? Even if we fight the king and beast later, they will desperately protect some people to go back, let them bring the crystals back, and we won't do it unjustly in this weather. Excavated crystals can be used by tribes for a long time.
They didn't dig much, they didn't have a tenth of the pit on the fox side, but the four of them worked together, and the pace was fast. The rock was hard at first, but the higher up, the easier it is.
In the hole at the corner of the flame, the warrior guarding next to the lower crystal pit heard the movement coming from the bottom of the pit, his heart panicked and hurried to find Dokan.
Dokang asked some of the people in the lower salt hole to go up first to prevent the ice seal from spreading again. It was arranged before he approached the crystal pit with a few people cautiously, intending to run as soon as he saw the ice seal situation.
Anyone who works underground, besides the King Beast, what else?
Pfft. Pfft.
The voice below became clearer and clearer, unlike the movement of the monster, there was no such deterrent, and there was no frozen situation.
External enemies, fox tribes or forest tribes?
Dokang became vigilant and moved over a little bit, stretching his neck toward the pit, indicating that others were ready to do it.
Other fighters around them also grabbed the weapons on their hands, tense ground muscles moving. They were frightened by the King's Beast and really didn't want to see anything weird pop up down there. Hope is for people, whether they're foxes, forests, or other tribes.
The sound is getting closer.
The nerves around the pit are so tight, it really doesn't look like a giant beast movement.
There seems to be loosening underneath.
Dokan, raise your hand.
Grrr!
The soil layer and a rock were pushed away.
Dokang was going to wave his arms and yell "do it”, and he saw four heads coming out below, gray and dirty.
Take a look.
Yo ————
Three chiefs and an elder jumped out of the hole!
Four people dug up from underneath, came out and saw a circle of people surrounded by pits, each with a sword axe pointed at himself.
