Astral Traveler [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 91 The Shadow of the Moon

The wizard gathered everyone in the square, and then announced a very serious matter.

"Xun found footprints," said the wizard standing on a high place, "by the lake, there are strange footprints."

There was a murmur of murmurs among the crowd below.In fact, most primitive people in the tribe don't know what "Qongqi" is.

But the old wizard is obviously more knowledgeable than them. He explained: "Qongqi is a man-eating beast. It has wings and claws. It is very powerful. We must not be able to beat it."

The wizard's words made everyone have mixed expressions of surprise and fear on their faces, and someone asked, "What should we do?"

"Qongqi eats good people." The wizard said, "It hates good people, but it doesn't eat bad people. It doesn't eat people who beat people, lie or steal things."

When he said this, Murphy suddenly felt a cold on his arm.

It turned out that it was Pei standing beside him who pinched his arm.

Murphy: "?"

Pei thought for a while, stretched out his hand a little embarrassedly, and twisted Murphy's face again, leaving two red marks.

"I, the bad guy." Pei said.

Murphy: "Pfft!"

Murphy was snickering there, but Pei had a serious face and said to him, "You hit me too, you are a bad person, and Qiongqi will not eat you."

At this time, the wizard on the stage also saw it, and said, "This is useless. Pei, this is not a bad person, you have not really done anything bad."

Pei stopped with a dejected look on his face, looked at the wizard, then at Murphy, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I will compensate you."

Murphy waved his hand and said, "No need, ahahaha."

Then, someone asked: "Then, what should we do? Are we going to move out?"

Everyone is afraid, and moving is a traumatic event for primitive people.

It is autumn now, and if we want to move away, the food reserves may not be enough to survive the winter.Once they can't find a place with plenty of food to rebuild their living quarters in a short period of time, it is very likely that a large number of humans will die of hunger and cold.For a tribe, a healthy labor force is everything, and the death of any one person may directly lead to the complete collapse of their subsistence life.

Moreover, they also raised six Kui cattle, and the open-pit malachite vein to the west has not yet been mined, which are very important properties.

People discussed with each other worriedly.

At this time, the wizard on the stage held up a precious tortoise shell, showed it to everyone the lines baked by the flames, and said, "I want to hold a ceremony, and we want to ask the great god. He can protect us."

Many people's brows loosened, and they looked happy, as if the problem had been solved.

Murphy asked Pei nearby, "What is the god?"

"It was the great Enoch." Pei said solemnly, "He rules the moon, and we worship the moon, so he is our protector."

Murphy was startled, Enoch just appeared!

He thought it would take a long time to find Enoch in this age of inconvenient transportation and relying on loud communications!But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. Because of the inconvenient transportation, as a primitive person, the possibility of getting in touch with Enoch is even smaller. That's why Ta Ling found Hong's thread of fate.

This is the so-called "destiny".

Murphy then asked, "How will the witch ask Enoch? What's the matter with the ceremony?"

Pei replied: "The witch will sacrifice three kinds of meat and three kinds of water in the ceremony. If the great god responds to us, we will not be afraid of poverty."

The language of primitive people is still too simple to express much information.

Murphy asked a few more questions, and Pei seemed to know little about the ceremony, with a look of confusion on his face, all he knew was to flatter Mr. Wizard.

Sure enough, the wizard also decided to do such a ceremony. He asked everyone to find a way to find the materials needed for the ceremony within ten days.

Three types of meat are very convenient, because the hunting team of the tribe just came back, and they brought back two types of meat, one from a beast called "J" and one from an unknown small fish caught in the river.

For the third kind of meat, the wizard asked them to kill one of the Kui cattle raised in the tribe.

The person in charge of the slaughter looked heartbroken and unable to breathe, but the others were cheering.Because the Kui Niu is very big, a bit like a rhinoceros without horns, a small part of the meat used for sacrifices is shaved off, and the part that is dried and stored is still enough for everyone to share a bowl of broth.

After having these three kinds of meat, we need to take three kinds of water.

One is rainwater from the sky, which is said to be one of the raw materials for divination, and every wizard will store a large jar.

The second is the juice from the berries.The fruits that Murphy picked out by hand were directly removed, and the two women squeezed out the juice with brute force—the color was very clear, a bit like wine.

The third is very simple, just scoop up the common water of the tribe.

Their tribe uses water from a nearby stone lake.The wizard said that it must be fresh, so he planned to send someone to take two clean earthenware bowls to scoop up the water.

This job was given to Murphy and the new woman Li Yan.

What the wizard meant was that the newcomer must help to prove that she has joined the tribe in front of the gods; moreover, she can just be taken by Murphy to know the source of water, which will be more convenient for her to work in the future.

When making a decision, Murphy didn't care, but Li Yan had an unbelievable expression on her face, pointing at herself and saying, "Me? I just joined you?"

No one thought it was strange, and no one had the time to understand her thoughts.In an age where just surviving is hard enough, no one spends time on unimportant issues.

Everyone took it for granted, and Pei said: "Eat, and work hard when you are full."

Then, he stuffed a bowl of berries into Li Yan's hand, clapped his hands and left.

After a while, the crowd in the square dispersed, leaving only Murphy and Li Yan.

Li Yan was holding the bowl in her hand, still looking dazed.

Murphy said, "Come and get two bowls with me, let's go."

Then, Murphy took Li Yan back to his cave and took two pottery bowls.

Seeing the cave, Li Yan had a "WTF" expression on her face, as if she had discovered that she had traveled to the primitive era for the first time, and followed Murphy away in a trance.

Murphy also asked Pei Shuiyuan's direction in advance.

Following the path that had been trodden countless times, he led Li Yan across a lawn, when he heard the sound of a gurgling stream.

At the most downstream of this mountain stream is the lake called Shihu.The lake seems to be frozen all year round because of a kind of beast that lives in it, so it can only get water from the upstream stream.

When the two walked to the stream, they saw the dense vegetation growing here, as if it had been stepped on by something, and it was crumbling here and there.

Murphy had already smelled the danger, but Li Yan still looked ignorant - she looked at the mud in front of her, and saw an extremely large footprint on it, with a deep depression in the center of the footprint, which seemed to be A sharp claw with a length of ten centimeters.

Murphy didn't make a sound, but dropped the bowl, pulled Li Yan up and ran away.

Li Yan staggered, followed Murphy for a while, and then stopped suddenly.

Looking up, I saw a very terrifying shadow behind the bushes in front of me——

It is very tall, behind a bush more than two meters high, there is still a small section of outline exposed, and a pair of wings can be seen rising dangerously, as if the posture of a bird before predation.

The bush was staggering, and another claw stretched out from behind, and there was indeed a horrible curved claw on the middle toe.

Murphy stood still, and said to Li Yan, "Don't move, don't be afraid, don't turn around and run—"

But Li Yan was so frightened that she couldn't understand at all, she screamed instinctively, and then shook her hand violently, breaking away from Murphy's palm in a daze, then turned her head and ran!

Murphy shook, but still didn't move, just stood where he was.

There is an axiom when facing a beast: if you are afraid, the beast will not be cowardly; if you are not afraid and pretend to be strong, it will observe cautiously instead.

Qiongqi slowly came out from behind the bushes, and he was really observing Murphy.

Qiongqi's appearance is quite like a tiger with thorns, but with wings on his back, sharp claws, and protruding eyes, which looks very frightening.

Judging from his habit of eating only good people, he has high intelligence, and there is obvious malice in his eyes.

When ordinary human beings see him, no matter how well the disguise is, they will inevitably tremble with fear.

But who is Murphy?

He wasn't afraid at all, he stood on the spot fearlessly, looking at Qiongqi with cold eyes.

Murphy: Humph, you're so ugly!

Perhaps it was Murphy's arrogance, or Qiongqi realized his potential danger, or Qiongqi discovered Murphy's villain status... After about 2 minutes of confrontation, Qiongqi grinned and spouted With a foul-smelling long breath, the wings folded slightly.

Murphy also withdrew his murderous intent.

Next, the two were full of curiosity about each other, and continued to look at each other for more than ten seconds.

After thinking about it, Murphy took out a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the ring and placed it on the ground in front of him.Then he took two steps back, thought again, and said, "Here you eat, Aru? Mimi?" (a way of calling a dog and a cat, respectively)

Qiongqi: "..."

Qiongqi flicked his tail vigorously, turned around and walked away in disdain.

I saw that a large bush was completely cut off under his blow, which shows that Qiongqi's power is not impressive.

Murphy tilted his head, still a little curious, and walked forward to look for it, but he didn't find Qiongqi again.

Moreover, he had a feeling again, as if someone was watching him, but he couldn't find the voyeur with his eyes.

So Murphy picked up two pottery bowls from the ground, filled the stream water, and went back to the tribe to complete the task.

After Murphy and Qiongqi both left, there was only a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes left in place.

The grass shook twice, and a beast emerged from it.He looks like a huge wolf, with flowing beard and hair on his head, a pair of sharp curved horns, and a very long tail behind him, shaped like a dragon's tail.

Moreover, there was something in his mouth.

This image is the same as the tallest one among the wooden sculptures enshrined in the wizard's home.

He lowered his head and sniffed the plates on the floor, walked around a few steps, and looked thoughtfully at the direction Murphy was leaving.
