Original War

Chapter 567

After the violent wind, drops of heavy rain fell, and the sky lasted for a winter of sunlight, and was finally blocked by thick clouds. For people in many places on the land, they have never felt that dark clouds are so cordial.

The raindrops fell quickly and quickly became pouring.

The thirsty earth is greedily absorbing the rain, and there is a smell of mud everywhere.

The tourists excitedly carried out the pots and pans to collect water. In the past winter, they used their labor to exchange food and water from Yanjiao. Not much exchange was made. Some people complained, but they learned about the situation outside. , No one screamed anymore, for fear of being driven away, although the exchange of water was small, it could support them to live until now.

A torrential rain seemed to have extinguished the fire of the beasts and forests. The beasts who had been irritable for a winter were soothed, and their mood could be guessed from their invigorating roar.

The people of the tribe perform their duties. Those who take turns guarding, taking care of the arable land, managing the animal pens, making pottery, weaving… are all ready to start work. It was too hot before, and they didn’t want to move too much. The work at hand was naturally put on hold. Now, they can finally start again.

The wilting seedlings in the ground are also rare, and the leaves in the mountains and forests appear to be much greener.

Although the extreme weather has passed, the guards and defenses everywhere have not been reduced. The two leaders alternately go out to supervise every day, even in the stormy weather.

“Everything, it’s better to be cautious!”

This is what the two witches said after the sacrifice.

Although the two of them cannot know what will happen, they have a strong sense of crisis, regardless of which tribe they are targeting, it is an indescribable sense of danger.

If the two witches have different opinions, it may need to go through some disputes, but the two witches are the same. For the Yanjiao people, it must be something that is about to happen, and they can’t help but be careless.

On a sunny day after the rain, the hunting team set off and went into the mountains to hunt.

Shao Xuan went into the forest with the team. The blue-faced fangs had already taken blood and fed, so naturally there was someone looking after him, and he didn’t need to keep staring.

Entering the forest again, everyone in the team found that many trees in the forest had turned black and looked like after they died. Some lifeless trees have been riddled with worms. If they were cut down, they could spew out inside. A lot of small bugs came out.

Carrying the prey, Shao Xuan and the team came to the resting cave.

“I remember, there used to be a stream here.” Shao Xuan pointed to a place on the mountain and said.

“Indeed, but I haven’t seen it now. Maybe there will be no water after the winter is dry.” Mai said next to him. He didn’t really understand the various reasons for the formation of streams. He only knew that even the dry streams and rivers in autumn and winter, in spring, melted snow or rained heavily, they would flow again, but now the streams in front of the mountains are gone. He also couldn’t tell the reason. If it’s gone, it’s gone.

While speaking, Mai carried the prey into the cave. The others looked there and saw nothing. They followed into the cave, leaving only Shao Xuan standing outside, looking at the original stream.

“I’ll go to see it.” Shao Xuan said to the people resting in the cave.

Out of curiosity, Mai and several other soldiers also followed Shao Xuan. They wanted to see what Shao Xuan had discovered.

Shao Xuan remembered that there was a river nearby, not too big, but there were often some river beasts in ambush.

The stream was broken, probably because there was no snow on the mountain this year, and the unusually hot winter made the snow covered all year round on the top of the mountain gone. However, the river over there is not only the melting of snow and streams, but also groundwater. There was such a heavy rain a few days ago, even if the stream could not form, the rainwater flows into the river, and there is also the infiltration of the rocks and soil in the mountains and forests. Water, the river will always ascending a lot, right? The rain was quite heavy the other day.

However, when Shao Xuan passed by, he found that there were only a few small fish swimming lazily in the river, and the slightly larger river beast did not see it. The reason was that the surface of the river was too low!

The river is too shallow, and some river beasts will not like such diving areas, so naturally they do not appear here.

Seeing such a low surface of the river, Mai and the others were also surprised, but they were only surprised for a while. They felt that it might be because the forest was too “thirsty”. After a rain, the forest “drank” the rain water. Part, so there is not much rain to the river.

It’s just that even if the mountains and forests can absorb and retain a lot of rainwater, what about groundwater?

A torrential rain that lasted for several days could not make the river surface ascending? Even if the ascending is not obvious, there is not only such a little river water right now!

The river here used to be muddy yellow because the beasts in the river like to stir up the sand at the bottom of the river. But now, the river water is not only shallow, but also much clearer. This shows that there is not a single river at all in the recent period. Come over the beast!

“Go to the next place. I remember, there is a cave here.”

When Shao Xuan was hunting around here with the hunting team, he once found a karst cave. There was a water hole in the cave. However, the water there was red, and there were some tiny creatures swimming in it, even though it was filtered and boiled. Water was not drinkable, and Shao Xuan didn’t go there afterwards.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Shao Xuan’s eyes changed. Not only Shao Xuan, but the other fighters, who were more keen, felt that something was wrong.

In the past, when they came, they could feel the cool and moist water vapor in the blowing wind as soon as they entered the cave, as well as some shade-loving plants that grew in the cave, with a faint sweet smell. However, now, neither the water vapor nor the smell of those plants have been smelled!

Shao Xuan walked in. After taking a few steps forward, he would see a layer of shallow water on the ground. Now that he has walked in for more than ten meters, the ground in the cave and the surrounding stone walls are still dry.

Mai took the water moon stone to illuminate the surrounding area.

no water!

Still no water!

The more you go in, the more the terrain is downwards, until only a few small underground caves remain.

“There is no water in this cave!” The flame horn soldiers who had just experienced a weird winter suddenly felt their throat dry.

Why is there no water? !

At this time, they already understood Shao Xuan’s purpose, and everyone was also vigilant.

I thought that this crisis was over, but I didn’t expect it to still exist.

Take a closer look at the ground. The uneven stone cave floor contains some dried red things, which can be scraped off with a knife.

“These are…” Mai squeezed the red crumbs scraped off the ground and smashed them with his fingers. The crumbs quickly turned into powder.

“This is what Life used to be in this pool. Now, they are all dried to death.” Shao Xuan frowned and walked out.

Hearing Shao Xuan’s words, Mai and others felt that their throats became even drier. Will they die of thirst without water?

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

The weather seems to be normal, but the water sources in many places are still declining, especially the water sources produced by the emergence of groundwater. There is almost no place where you can see what it used to be. Most of them are dry and not dry. All of them are on the verge of drying up. It is only a matter of time before they dry up completely.

At the same time, inside the Lu tribe.

I thought that the dark period was over, but I didn’t expect that life would not be so easy. The water pool that their tribe has been occupying has dropped even lower, and it has not risen in the slightest because of the rainstorm some time ago. Obviously I saw the rain around me pour in, but the water in the pool was still dropping.

why?
