Chronicles of Primordial Wars

After the wind, a drop of heavy rain fell, and the sun lasted for a winter in the sky, finally blocked by thick clouds, which were never felt so friendly to people in many parts of the land.

The raindrops fell fast and quickly became as ladylike.

The thirsty earth's greed absorbs rain and smells of mud everywhere.

Travelers were excited to bring out a pottery tank to pick up the water. In the past winter, they all traded their labor for food and water from the flaming horns. Not much was exchanged, and some complained about it, but when they learned about the situation outside, no one would squeak anymore, afraid of being expelled. Even though there was little water exchanged, they could still support them to this day.

A torrential rain seemed to quench the fierce mountain forest fire. The fierce beasts of the winter were soothed, and their mood could be guessed from their swift roar.

Tribes are responsible, guards are in charge, caring for cultivated land, managing beast rings, ceramics, textiles… are ready to begin construction. It was too hot before, they didn't even want to move a little more, the work at hand was put on hold, and now, finally, it can start again.

The seedlings in the ground are rare, and the leaves in the mountain forests are much greener.

Although extreme weather has passed, guards and defenses have not diminished everywhere, and the two chiefs rotate out every day to supervise, even in stormy weather.

“Everything, be careful! ”

This is what the two witches said after the sacrifice.

While the two of them were unable to know exactly what was going to happen, they had a strong sense of crisis, irrespective of which tribe they were targeting, a sense of unspeakable danger.

If the two witches have different opinions, it may be necessary to go through an argument, but both witches say the same thing, which is definitely what is going to happen to the Flaming Horn people, not for them to be so-so.

On a clear day after the rain, the hunting team set out to hunt in the mountains.

Shao Xuan entered the mountain forest with the team. Blood had been taken and fed by Qingfang. Naturally, someone looked after him, and he was not required to keep an eye on him.

Once again in the mountain forest, the people in the team found that there were many trees in the forest that were dark, after they died. Some non-viable trees had been decayed by insects, and if they cut it off, a lot of small insects could erupt.

With his prey, Shao Xuan came to the resting cave with the team.

“I remember there used to be a creek here.” Shao Xuan pointed to the mountain and said.

“Yes, but I don't see it now, maybe after the winter dries, there's no water.” Mac next to him said. He didn't really understand the reasons for the formation of the stream. He just knew that even if the river water dried up in autumn and winter, by spring, the snow water melted or rained heavily, it would flow again, but now that the stream in front of the mountain was gone, he couldn't say why. If it's gone, it's gone.

He said that Mai carried his prey into the cave. The others looked there and didn't see anything. He also followed Shao Xuan into the cave. He only left Shao Xuan standing outside, looking at the original stream position.

“I'll go check it out.” Shao Xuan spoke to those who were resting in the cave.

Curious, Mac and several other warriors also followed Shao Xuan, who wanted to see what Shao Xuan had found.

Shao Xuan remembers that there is also a river nearby, not too big, but there are also some rivers and beasts that are often ambushed inside.

The stream broke, probably because the mountains did not snow this year, and the unusually hot winters made the snow covered by the mountaintops disappear all year round. But that river over there, not only melted snowwater streams, but also groundwater, etc., it rained so heavily the other day, even if the stream could not form, the rainwater flowed into the river, and there was also water infiltrated in the rocky soil of the mountain forest, the river surface would rise a lot, right? It was raining pretty hard the other day.

However, when Shao Xuan passed, he found that there were only a few lazy little fish in the river. A slightly bigger river beast was not seen, because the river was too low!

The river is too shallow for some river beasts to like such diving areas and naturally does not appear here.

When they saw the river so low, Mai et al. were surprised, but they were just surprised for a while. They thought it might be because the mountain forest was too “thirsty”. After a rainfall, the mountain forest “drank” most of the rainfall, so there was not much rainfall for the river.

But even though mountain forests can absorb a lot of rainwater, what about groundwater?

A storm that lasted for days, couldn't get the river up? Even if the rise is not obvious, it is not just a little river right now!

The river water here used to be often muddy yellow, just because the river beast likes to stir up the mud sand at the bottom of the river, but now the river water is not only light but also much clearer, which means that no river beast has come at all for almost a while!

“Check it out in the next place. I remember there was a melting hole. ”

When Shao Xuan was hunting around here with the hunting team, he had found a hole with a pond in it. However, the water there was red, and there were some fine creatures swimming in it. Even filtered and boiled water could not be drunk, and then Shao Xuan did not go anymore.

Shao Xuan's eyes changed just as he stepped into the melting hole. Not just Shao Xuan, a few other fighters, be sharp, already feel wrong.

In the past, as soon as they entered the hole, they could feel the cool, moist water vapor in the breeze, and the slight, sweet smell of plants growing in the hole. But now, neither the steam nor the plants smell!

Shao Xuan walked in, before coming in a few steps to see a shallow layer of water on the ground, now walked more than 10 meters inward, the ground in the hole and the surrounding stone walls are still dry.

Mac holds the water moonstone and illuminates the surrounding area.

No water!

Still no water!

The further inside, the further down the ground, until there are only a few small underground caves left.

“There's no water in this hole!” The Flaming Horn warriors, who had just had a strange winter, suddenly felt their voice dry.

How can there be no water?!

By this time, they had understood Shao Xuan's purpose and everyone was alert.

I thought the crisis was over, but I didn't think it still existed.

Take a closer look at the ground, the uneven stone hole ground, there are some dry red things that can be scratched off with a knife.

“These are…” Mac pinched the red debris off the ground, grinding his fingers, and the debris quickly turned into powder.

“This is what used to live in this pool, and now they're all dry.” Shao Xuan walked out with his eyebrows tight.

When you hear Shao Xuan's words, Mai et al. think his voice is drier. If he doesn't have water, will he die of thirst?

Later, while hunting for the next few days, Shao Xuan went to find several more sources of water.

The weather looks normal. However, in many places water sources are still falling, especially those that emerge from groundwater convergence. Almost nowhere can you see what they used to be. The vast majority of them are dry, and all that is not dry is on the verge of drying out. It is only a matter of time before they are completely dry.

Meanwhile, within the Lu tribe.

I thought the dark times had passed, but I didn't think that life wasn't so good. The pond that their tribe had been occupying had fallen even lower and had not risen in any way as a result of the heavy rains of the previous period. It is clear that the surrounding rainfall is pouring in, but the water in the pond is still falling.

Why is that?
