Original War

Chapter 263

Shao Xuan took the bone ornament and recalled the situation back then. He remembered that it was the ball in the middle of the bone ornament that worked at the beginning, and he asked, “Do you know what this ball is? Where did the ancestors get their treasures?”

In the cave where it was from the king insect, the surrounding area was pitch black and there was no light. However, under the vision of special ability, Shao Xuan saw the light emitted from this bead at that time, covering the people and things around him, but Take it to a well-lit place, and when you can see everything clearly, in ordinary vision, you find that this bead is as dim as a normal thing.

This is a very special thing.

“Baby? It is indeed an extremely precious thing.” With infinite reverence in the eyes of the witch, he stared at the ball in the bone ornament and said: “A long time ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the tribe, after the death of the first witch, the leader took him Put it into the firepit, but found that the first witch did not directly disappear like the others, but left six beads.”

“That’s it?” Shao Xuan was surprised.

The witch nodded, “Later, six beads were given to the tribe who made great contributions. They were also called’Elder’. Except for the witch and the leader, they were the six highest-ranking members of the tribe. The witch and the leader. The six beads are the second light in the tribe. Even if they are far away from the fire pond, they can light up the night for the tribe… It is a pity that after the tribe’s fire is incomplete, the six beads are dim. NS.”

Shao Xuan suddenly felt that the bone ornaments on his hands were heavy. What should I do if I really lose it? The witch will fight him desperately. If it’s an ordinary treasure, forget it, this is something left by the first witch, and there is no seventh one in this world.

Thinking of Shao Xuan for a moment, six beads?

Looking at the witch in doubt, Shao Xuan asked, “The six beads left by his old man in the first witch are all in your hands?” He just saw that there were only three bone ornaments in the box that the witch took out.

Wu shook his head, his tone of regret and sorrow that could not be concealed: “The other three, along with the other half of the fire, disappeared. So far I have not been able to feel where the other half of the fire is.”

Even the witch couldn’t feel it, so I really didn’t know where it was. Tinder, as expected, is still incomplete. As for when it will be found, God knows.

After talking about the sacrificial ritual after the end of winter, Wu Cai asked Shao Xuan to leave. This time, if there is no accident, Shao Xuan is still one of the dancers of the sacrificial dance.

When Shao Xuan left, Wu sat on the spot, looking at the dim spheres on the other two bone decorations in the stone box, pondering for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh. When I didn’t come, I thought about how to cross the river, how to return to the old place, and what to do when I arrived at the old place. But after returning, Wu felt a lot of pressure as he learned more and more about the surrounding situation.

Is the Yanjiao Tribe strong? Yes, but only once. Compared with the big tribes in the central part of the current strength, there is still a gap. Even if it is really confronted with the Wanshi tribe next to it, it may be a very tragic result, which he does not want to see. . However, in the sacrificial ceremonies after winter, just wait for the tourists to wake up.

Only by becoming stronger can you gain a firm foothold.

On Shao Xuan’s side, he went straight back after he left the witch. The sky was already dark and there were fewer people walking outside. Fortunately, there were no night swallows here, and those annoying nocturnal insects were also caused by fire. , Come out less.

After the fire is connected with the fire vein, it has a lot of influence on other creatures. Now Chacha doesn’t like to stay close to the fire pond. He just comes over once a day, brings some prey to Old Ke, and then leaves in a hurry.

After eating dinner, Shao Xuan originally planned to go there to see the situation of the carnivorous birds he raised, but because of the bone ornaments given by Wu, he did not go out and sat in the room to study bone ornaments.

The bead that played a central role on the bone ornaments, Shao Xuan touched the dim surface of the bead body, not as cold as other items in winter, and with warmth. Such a thing turned out to be left by a witch after cremation. If he hadn’t heard the witch say before, Shao Xuan would really not think about it.

Knowing that this thing is special, Shao Xuan did not find out anything after studying it when he fell asleep. However, after falling asleep, Shao Xuan had a dream.

In the dream, a human figure made up of flames slowly became clear. At first, it was only far away, but gradually, the person who was full of fire walked straight toward this side, and the figure got closer and closer. , Can’t see the facial features, can’t see the age and gender, just a person wrapped in flames.

The fire man opened his arms, just like the way the witch had shown when he called the fire next to the fire pond. He seemed to be thinking something, but Shao Xuan couldn’t understand it.

witch?

Shao Xuan was like a bystander, watching the fire man’s every move.

When Shao Xuan was immersed in such a weird dream, the bone ornament he was wearing flashed in the dark night, and then dimmed again. as usual.

When Shao Xuan woke up the next day, the situation he saw in his dream was still clear. He looked at the bone decoration on his neck, Shao Xuan thought, could it be the ancestor’s dream? Or does he think too much?

Shaking his head, seeing that the beads on the bone decoration were still as dim as yesterday, Shao Xuan no longer thought about it. Today, he will not go out hunting, but will participate in patrols.

Before the winter, the Wanshi tribe occasionally came to the border area to sneak in on it. After the winter, there will be less, but the necessary vigilance is still necessary. Not to mention, there are many tourists who have yet to test their loyalty in the tribe. .

Those who can persist until now, the vast majority of visitors are people with a strong mind. They know what kind of life they want, even if they don’t have a craft that can be seen, as long as they are willing to learn and give, they can still eat. As for starving to death.

“Axuan, how many people can you awaken during this sacrifice?” Lang Ga asked.

“I’m not sure, there should be one or two thousand people.” Shao Xuan replied.

“Only one or two thousand?” Not only Lang Ga, but the other people patrolling around were also puzzled.

In the tribe’s original squad, whether or not they have the ability to hunt, there are more than 1,500 totem warriors alone. Except for some women, the rest are young children who have not yet reached their age. In the future, a large number of people will awaken to become totem warriors. After arriving at the homeland, the number of visitors who came with them and the tourists who came back was six or seven thousand, and they were pleasantly surprised for a long time. If most of these six or seven thousand can awaken most of them, how much help?

But in fact it is not the case.

Many of the families of tourists who were admitted as native tribesmen were not from Yanjiao, such as Yan Shuo’s wife, Lao Jia’s wife, and some cases where the women were Yanjiao, but the husband was an outsider. A lot of them are registered as Yanjiao tribe people. Therefore, strictly speaking, judging by blood, these six to seven thousand people have to subtract 30 to 50%, and then looking at the people who can awaken, it is finally estimated that there are really only one to two thousand people.

Listening to Shao Xuan’s analysis, the people on patrol were a little sluggish.

“However, among the returning visitors, women accounted for almost half.” Shao Xuan said. Most of the tourists who leave halfway are men, while women leave few. Perhaps they know that even if the tribe will face a crisis, it is already the best choice for them.

Upon mentioning this, Lang Ga and others, who had been sluggish, immediately cheered up. This is indeed a good thing.

In the past, when I was on the other side of the river, there were few women and the witches were very strict, so there were many bachelors in each generation. In addition, the birth rate was not high and the environment was difficult, so for so many years, there were still so few people.

Among these tourists who are returning now, not only are there many women, but the birth rate of children is also much higher. Like Yan Shuo’s family, they gave birth to two people. Now I heard that the life condition is better and the health is much better, and his wife has it again. , Lang Ga and others who are watching are envious and jealous.

As long as there is time, I believe the tribe will develop quickly.

Shao Xuan thought, his steps suddenly stopped, and he suddenly turned and looked in one direction. Over there is the place where the tribe’s travellers live.

“What’s the matter?” Lang Ga asked several people upon seeing this.

Shao Xuan said with alert and doubt, “I always feel that someone is looking at me.”

“What’s the matter? Everyone knows you, maybe someone from the little girl is interested in you…” Lang Ga paused as he said.

Shao Xuan’s face was serious, and the others stopped laughing. People like them who have experienced countless life and death hunts have a fairly accurate intuition. If they really feel that something is wrong, then there must be something wrong! Not everyone who came back is worthy of trust.

“Look over there?” Lang Ga asked.

“No.” Shao Xuan stopped. “Just stare more over there recently.” If your intuition is correct, there are other people hidden among the visitors coming back this time.

The direction that Shao Xuan had just looked at was the place where the tourists from the tribe lived, in an inconspicuous wooden house.

“How? I told you to be careful, but you don’t believe it.” In the room, a thick-looking mature man sat on a wooden stool and said with his legs folded. But at this time, there was no honesty on his face, and some were just gloating.

Next to the window of the wooden house, a beautiful and slender woman leaned against the wall to hide. She was just planning to test the kid, but she didn’t want to. The other party had already seen it. Fortunately, she hid quickly and was not seen.

When the woman was about to distinguish something, she heard footsteps approaching outside, not from a totem warrior, which made the two of them feel relieved a lot.

“If you are looking for me, I have to go to work. Be careful with yourself. It is best not to go out for these two days, otherwise we will be found out.” When the man said this, the ridicule on his face quickly faded. Become simple and honest, with a little dullness.

In the following days, every patrol team will pay special attention to the wanderers of the lower tribe, but day by day, nothing unusual happens.

Soon, winter will also pass, and the most significant sacrificial ritual for nearly a thousand years will also begin.
