Original War

Chapter 34-The Length of a Finger

After the hunting team left, the tribe resumed its usual life rhythm.

However, compared with last year, the difference is that the river is extremely lively. After experiencing the initial fear of the unknown creatures in the river, because of the benefits of the big-mouthed piranhas, people’s fear of the creatures in the river dissipated a lot.

It turns out that the things in the river are not so terrible, as long as you are careful, you can harvest enough food.

In the cave, under the joint management of Tu and Stutter, the days are still stable. With the daily fish-pulling action and enough food, the small bodies are not as thin as in previous years. At the same time, the children in the cave are becoming more and more united. If you don’t unite, you can’t do it. They can only work together. The ability of a single person is too small to have an advantage when fishing.

As for the stone worms, now Shao Xuan takes Caesar to catch the stone worms every two days. After catching enough stone worms, they will be preserved for the children in the cave.

Stones can’t bind the stone worms. Someone put the stone worms in the stone jar, but the next day they found that the stone jar had a hole broken and the stone worm was no longer visible. But Tu discovered by accident that wooden tools and grass ropes that are not as hard as stones can trap them better than stone tools. Even if they still can’t be trapped for too long, one or two days is absolutely no problem. This solved the trouble of Caesar running there every day.

Shao Xuan still went to the training ground in the morning to find stone cores, and in the afternoon he went to Lao Ke to learn stone skills.

After more than ten days, Shao Xuan felt that he had a lot more strength than the time he had just awakened, and he became more adept at controlling the power of totems, and he was able to switch between the two abilities in his body more freely.

It seems that learning stone skills is also of great benefit to controlling the power of totem.

Shao Xuan shuttled between the woods like a monkey, heading towards the place he was optimistic about yesterday. The figure flashed by, the branches shook slightly, and the sound was very small, as if it were just a breeze.

Caesar ran behind.

Here still did not leave the guard range of the tribe, so Shao Xuan did not have to worry about any fierce beasts appearing, the reason why he deliberately controlled the sound was only for the future hunting activities. Hunting often requires sneaking, approaching the prey quietly, hiding the breath, and a little bit of movement can startle the prey or other invincible beasts.

Shao Xuan had seen Lang Ga and Mai’s stealth abilities, and Mai was silent when he walked around, and he was still some distance away from them.

In the mountains in the training ground, Shao Xuan also saw many awakened children with him, including Sai.

“Huh, is that A Xuan?” Said Dad said, looking at the figure flashing by in the woods. For people who don’t have the power of the awakening totem, Shao Xuan’s speed is naturally fast and difficult to capture, but for other totem warriors who have awakened for many years, it is nothing.

Sai held a big rock and jumped on the spot. He had already jumped with a rock for more than a hundred times. Hearing the words of his own daddy, Sai turned his head to look over, and Shao Xuan was no longer in the woods.

“What are you looking at?! Keep jumping with you!” Said Dad knocked on Sai’s butt with a stone stick, and yelled, “You can’t even compare to A Xuan, who is two years younger than you!”

“Where can’t it be compared?” Sai was not convinced.

“Hey, you are still stubborn, I said yes! Hurry up! Jump to two hundred times before you can rest.” Said his father knocked over with two sticks again.

“It’s already one hundred and seventy-two!” Just twenty-eight more jumps. Said in his heart, thinking about it, I still have a little fun. Should I go to catch the stone flying squirrel in the rest time, or go to find food? I don’t know if there are any crunchy green fruits that I ate two days ago.

Sai swallowed and was thinking expectantly, when he heard his father’s eyes widened and said: “You can’t count as a daddy?! Obviously only one hundred and twenty-seven, and seventy-three!”

The match was so angry that he almost threw the big stone he was holding. It happened that his father’s style of acting was like this, the wrong one was right, and he had to admit it if he didn’t deny it. Arguing with him? Will be beaten.

Ma’s!

Sai stared at him daddy, so he recorded the hatred on Shao Xuan.

I don’t know that Shao Xuan, who has been credited again, is busy picking stones. There are many stones for training, but few can be used to make stone tools. Even if you rely on his special ability to distinguish the grade of the stone, you can’t quickly find the most suitable one, because even a good stone may not be suitable for filming. Therefore, every morning Shao Xuan spends a few hours to select the stones, and then returns with the stone cores that are good and suitable for slicing.

Following Lao Ke these days, Shao Xuan’s recognition of stones has also improved a lot, unlike in the past, his eyes were blackened, and every stone looked the same.

When Shao Xuan was looking for a stone core, Caesar was bored, so he went to block the stone flying squirrel that was digging a hole in the mountain and jumping around. Every time Shao Xuan finished picking the stone core, he found that there were several dead stone flying squirrels next to Caesar.

Sometimes Shao Xuan looked at Caesar very guilty, a wolf that was so good, that he had cultivated it like this.

In the afternoon, Shao Xuan took the selected stone cores to Lao Ke.

Old Ke taught Shao Xuan how to judge the best shooting angle of the stone and the countertop, and which stone is suitable for what to do. Then, Old Ke sat next to him and watched Shao Xuan hit a piece of stone leaf.

Taking off the animal skins, Shao Xuan turned his upper body naked, picked up the stone hammer and started knocking.

After the first few days of knocking, the animal skin coat was soaked with sweat, and the water could be squeezed out with a slight twist. Later, Shao Xuan directly threw the animal skin coat aside to save the sweat.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

…

The beating sound that rang every afternoon began.

One hammer, two hammers…………Fifty, fifty-one……One hundred hammers……Five hundred hammers……

As if tirelessly, Shao Xuan kept beating the stone core, a large stone core, and as the pieces of stone leaves that were smaller than the previous days fell, they became smaller and smaller.

After knocking one, Shao Xuan did not rest, and then knocked the second, third…

After knocking out three, Shao Xuan’s whole body was like falling into a water tank and being fished out.

After adding some water, Shao Xuan stood by and listened to Old Ke’s explanation of the details to be paid attention to when polishing later, how to polish the stone leaves of what shape, and how to polish the remaining stone cores.

Old Ke said that every stone has its own story, and even the best stoneware master may not be able to interpret every stone. But every time Lao Ke explained to Shao Xuan, he tried his best to teach him the knowledge he had unearthed so far.

Shao Xuan listened carefully. Many seemingly indifferent words actually hide many skills.

After taking a break, Shao Xuan continued after listening to Old Ke’s professor, but the next step was not to film, but to polish.

Regardless of whether it is filming or the subsequent grinding process, if you want to reach the high standard of Lao Ke, you need to be more careful, more precise and more precise in the grinding process to control the power of the totem.

This is not an easy task. Shao Xuan was immersed in it during polishing. All of his consciousness was concentrated on the stone tool being polished. The feeling was not obvious. Once the polishing was completed and the consciousness was restored, his head would be painful. At that time, it was even more tingling like being pierced by an awl, and the pain made my forehead ooze out of sweat.

Old Ke said it was normal, that’s how he came here back then.

Although hard work, but the effect is also significant, Shao Xuan’s control of the power of totem is also more precise.

Old Ke sitting next to him showed satisfaction in his eyes. Shao Xuan’s growth far exceeded his imagination. For so many years, Lao Ke has seen many people who learn to polish stone tools, but no one can do like Shao Xuan!

Many people may not be able to achieve Shao Xuan’s level in half a year or even a year or two. Of course, there are also good ones. For example, Lang Ga only took less than 50 days back then. Lang Ga’s grandfather is still in front of Lao Ke. He wailed with his beard.

But how long did Shao Xuancai study? Just ten days!

In fact, Old Ke really wanted to go up the mountain immediately to find the old guy who made the earth bow and have a good “talk”, but, let’s wait, wait…

Just thinking about what kind of “good-looking” face the old guy would look like when he knew it, Ke’s eyes suddenly condensed, and his eyes widened suddenly, as if seeing something incredible.

Shao Xuan showed totem patterns on his body, which is not unusual. During this period of time when he was learning stone skills, Shao Xuan would use the power of totems, and the totems on his body would naturally appear.

But it was not the totem pattern that was shocked by Lao Ke. What he saw before him was even more incredible than when he saw Shao Xuan playing the film and using the power of the totem!

People in the tribe know that the newly awakened warriors will only show all totem patterns on their bodies when they awaken by the fire pool. After the sacrifice, the totem patterns will shrink, and the totem patterns that originally covered the entire arm will shrink to the top. On the arms, slightly over the shoulders, the totem patterns on the legs will also shrink.

Therefore, when the power of totem is used after awakening, the totem pattern displayed is not elbow but knee, which is the mark of the junior totem warrior. When the totem pattern crosses the elbow and knees one day, it is time to upgrade from the junior totem warrior to the intermediate warrior. This is the most direct and effective way to identify the level of totem fighters.

When the soldiers are hunting, in the face of countless dangerous beasts and threats to their lives, they have made breakthrough progress time and time again to extend the totem pattern, but the length of extension is also limited. Many people have ten years of hunting experience and totem. Wen can’t go over elbows or knees, that is to say, they are still in the stage of primary totem warriors, and their progress is extremely slow.

But what about Shao Xuan now?

Old Ke’s eyelids twitched. He clearly remembered that when Shao Xuangang came to learn stone skills to use totem power, the totem pattern displayed on his upper arm was just like that of other people who had just awakened.

And now, the totem pattern on Shao Xuan’s upper arm has extended the length of a little finger to the front of his arm!

Before this, Old Ke didn’t pay attention to the totem pattern on Shao Xuan’s arm. He just thought about when Shao Xuan could reach the level of an intermediate fighter. He glanced at the totem pattern on Shao Xuan’s upper arm. He didn’t expect to have such a discovery. He could see the slightest error on the stone tools, how could he not see the length of the totem pattern on Shao Xuan’s arm? !

Don’t underestimate the length of this section of the finger, this is something that some people may not be able to do in a few years!

But how long has Shao Xuan awakened?

At this speed, how far can the Intermediate Totem Warrior go?

Old Ke only felt that his eyelids were beating more severely.
