Original War

Chapter 223

Under the tiankeng, it is indeed a place similar to a fire crystal mine.

After chanting, someone dug up the fire crystal. This made everyone’s morale depressed for ten days and immediately cheered up.

What is the purpose of coming?

Isn’t it just digging out more fire crystals? Since the tiankeng can’t be digged, it’s the same to dig it out here. Besides, the leader bat has already “Closed Door Training”, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Dig hard, thinking about taking advantage of the troublesome bat’s absence. Dig as much as you can.

Six more days passed.

The fire crystals in hand, the big and the small, have already been packed in a bag, and this is only part of the digging.

Shao Xuan estimated that about half had not been dug up.

These fire crystals are enough to be used by all the fallen soldiers.

Watching Ao open a roll of animal skins, Ta wiped the sweat on his face and asked, “What did the witch say?”

After discovering the fire crystal, Ao wrote another animal skin scroll to Wu and let him take it over to exchange opinions with Wu.

Ao’s face faded a bit because of the discovery of Huo Jing, and he looked a little serious.

“No one is allowed to leak the fire crystal matter!”

During the break, Ao called all the people over and ordered them not to tell others about the location of the fire crystal, the process of discovery, and how much it was dug up.

The five hunting teams that came here last time found fire crystals in the sinkhole, but this time, they were under the sinkhole and dug an underground passage leading down to the mountain. This needs to be kept secret.

If you don’t go back to the old place, it doesn’t matter, it’s all own anyway. But afterwards, they must return to their homeland. Once someone tells people from other tribes, it will cause a lot of trouble, even killing wars.

The less people know, the better. Fortunately, this time the people from the advance team were brought here. They all knew and understood and trusted more.

It’s time to go out hunting and it’s time to return to the tribe. Ao didn’t take all the people back, leaving some people here to guard and continue digging. He brought another part of the people and the fire crystals he dug out to join the hunting team. Then go back to the tribe.

Shao Xuan wanted to stay, in case the leader bat suddenly came out and was rejected by Ao.

“Wu said to let you go back.”

Since Wu said it, Shao Xuan didn’t insist. Wu told him to go back, and there must be something to tell him.

When the hunting team returned to the tribe, the people in the tribe knew about the leader leading the people to find the fire crystal. Even if you want to hide it, you can’t hide it, as long as you don’t tell them the specific place.

Fortunately, many people in the tribe are obedient. If the leader doesn’t say it, the witch doesn’t say it, they don’t ask much. For them, it is a great blessing to have the fire crystal to use, and they don’t need to care about other things.

The whole tribe is filled with joy. Recently, there have been so many good things. They are returning to their hometowns and Huojing. Everything can make them happy for a long time.

On the top of the mountain, in the stone house of Wu.

The chiefs who had just returned from the hunting grounds, the two big bosses, and several elderly people with higher voices in the tribe gathered here, and Shao Xuan was also there.

In the past, Shao Xuan was not eligible to participate in such meetings, but now, no one has any objections, and sometimes even makes some decisions, and asks Shao Xuan’s opinions. After all, Shao Xuan is the only one who travels to his hometown. Those who come back know a lot more than those who have stayed here.

“The tribe will let everyone absorb the fire crystals when offering sacrifices next year.” Wu said, “However, before offering sacrifices, everyone can’t relax.”

You can’t put down other things just because there are fire crystals, and how much you can absorb depends on the state and ability of each person. Those who have a lot of hidden wounds and old illnesses, those who have not healed from serious illnesses, and those who are malnourished, it is best to adjust their physical condition to the best before the sacrifice.

This time, it is no longer a matter of a single person or a small number of people. It is related to the entire tribe, and everyone from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain must pay attention to it.

Ao nodded, glanced at the tower and Guihe, and said, “I will take people to the green space when that time comes, and try to find as many Medicinal herbs as possible to bring back.”

Many of the injuries of totem warriors cannot heal themselves, so they must rely on Medicinal herbs, and the general Medicinal herbs are not very useful, so you still have to use the green area.

“The Huo Jing will be put here first.” Wu asked Shao Xuan who had been silent, sitting on the very side: “What does A Xuan have to say?”

“When I was there, I discovered that many people have their own way to detect fire crystals. If we pass by with a large number of fire crystals, it is like a living target. Maybe we haven’t waited for our place, we will be caught in waves. People are consumed, especially the people of the big tribes in the central region. They are not weaker than the people of our tribe.”

Hearing this, the hearts of the people including the leader were stunned and looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for his next words.

“I know that some people use a box made of jade to contain fire crystals, which can block all kinds of detection, but,” Shao Xuan pointed to the big bag of fire crystals placed on the middle stone table, and said: “We don’t have enough. Jade boxes are used to hold fire crystals, and jade is also very precious over there.”

No one around has found a jade mine, and no one has ever seen jade, or the ones that Shao Xuan brought back, giving everyone a preliminary understanding.

Wu smiled, “Don’t worry about this.”

With that said, Wu took out a wooden box with fire crystals in it, but before opening the box, Shao Xuan did not perceive the existence of fire crystals.

“This is?” Shao Xuan’s eyes lit up.

“This is a box made of’empty wood’. I believe that the barrier effect is not weaker than that of jade. Empty wood can be found in the green space, cut down, and after drying, it can also be brought back to make a box.” Wu said.

“This is good!” Guihe slapped his thigh, “I will take people there to chop some more and bring it back, make more empty wooden boxes, and bring all the fire crystals I dug back to the original place!”

“No, I don’t plan to take away all the fire crystals.” Wu’s words made the newly excited person stunned.

“Why?” Everyone was puzzled.

Wu Dan smiled and said: “If one day we return to the old place and encounter a greater change, if it is not good, we will return here. This is our way of retreat, leaving some fire crystals is also a guarantee.”

Inheritance and continuity are things that every tribe cannot ignore. As a witch, the things he considers are naturally more long-term.

“The fire crystals dug out are enough for all the totem fighters who have fallen during the next sacrifice. Some of the rest will be taken with you at that time and will be kept for later use, while the other part, Ao, has to be put back in the hole you dug yourself. Go inside the tunnel, then close the tunnel and cover it.”

Just follow the people Ao past to keep the secret of the cave. Shao Xuan said that the temptation of Huo Jing is very big. Wu believes that when outsiders learn news from other people in the tribe, they will definitely look for the past, and the goal is naturally that sinkhole.

What’s in the sinkhole?

That half-king leader bat! !

“If someone is really looking for it… then let them die!” Wu Yixiang’s peaceful eyes became sharp, making the people present feel cold and shaking unconsciously.

The king beast is not common.

Until now, Shao Xuan only knew that there was a stone insect king worm in the mountain at the second stronghold of the hunting squad that Mai was leading, and he had felt that kind of pressure at a rather dangerous distance.

Every king beast is not so easy to provoke, Shao Xuan is just a special case. I believe that for those outsiders in the future, the king beast can handle it, even if the leader bat has not really reached the king level by then, it is only a half king level, it is enough to deal with it.

Wu’s words silenced everyone present for a long time before sighing.

“It really needs to be considered.”

“I have no objection to this.”

“Just follow what you told me.”

“This matter, you don’t need to let others know.”

After the people in the stone house had discussed the matter of Huojing, Wu told them to leave.

“A Xuan, you stay.” Wu said.

After everyone else left, Wu said to Shao Xuan: “You must prepare for the sacrificial dance at the beginning of next year.”

Shao Xuan twitched his face and let out an “um”.

Although those dances are a little weird, but the habit is good. For this, he has to hunt a better prey and make a new dress. When the time comes, it will be difficult to continue to wear the old clothes in the sacrificial ceremonies.

Wu Rang Shao Xuan as one of the people who worshipped the dance was not only Shao Xuan’s contribution to the tribe.

In the year that Shao Xuan left, fewer people worshipped the power of the Awakening Totem compared with the previous year. In addition, Wu engraved two beasts, but failed.

The warriors who raised the beasts thought it was their own problem, and the beasts were not well raised, so the engraving failed, but Wu knew that his own factor was the main factor.

When engraving, the condition was not as good as those of the first batch of engraving. Halfway through the engraving, I felt that the successor was weak. When there was one engraving, the totem could not be condensed and formed.

Wu felt that there was also Shao Xuan’s reason. When Shao Xuan was there, the situation would be much better.

Of course, these witches would not tell Shao Xuan, but every time he remembered it, the witch would wait to go to the fire pond and knock one out for the ancestors, to confide in the depression in his heart.

Such a talent is not a witch!

Shao Xuan didn’t know Wu’s depression at all. He went to find Ao, and then went to the green space a few times. Before returning to his hometown, he looked for Medicinal herbs. One is to prepare for the future. Certainly not less, and just arrived at the hometown, in a short time, I can’t fully adapt, I don’t know the geography of the homeland, and it’s hard to find good herbs.

And another reason is because of Old Ke. Old Ke is getting older. Before the sacrifice, he wanted to support him. The better his physical condition during the sacrifice, the more fire crystal energy he could absorb, which would be good for him in the future.

In other tribes, disabled people like Lao Ke are not in a good life condition. Shao Xuan only hopes to improve as much as possible.

Before the arrival of winter, the entrance of the tunnel on the fire crystal side had been blocked, and the surroundings had been covered up. It was impossible to see that a tunnel was dug there, and it would be even harder to see it in two or three years.

Before the winter, Shao Xuan also prepared a lot of food for the children in the cave.

In the past two years, the children who came out of the cave will bring something to the children in the cave every winter. Now, the children in the cave have caught fish and meat from other people, and they can raise them one by one. Much stronger. The chance of awakening is high after raising it.
