Chronicles of Primordial Wars

The setting sun fell on the other side of the distant mountain, and the light in the forest gradually diminished.

It was already dark around.

At this moment, Shao Xuan did not pay attention to the passage of time, nor did he even pay attention to whether there was any danger around him. He had a feeling that it seemed that he was safe here, that there would be no sneak attacks by those dangerous plants, nor would there be fierce predators come over.

All attention, all in the ground under the palm.

Feeling a little warmth from below, along with the palm, along the arm, all the way up, it converges into the totem in my mind, which stimulates the flames on the totem to keep rolling.

The evening wind was blowing, and the wind seemed to carry some elements that were different from usual.

The surroundings began to quiet down, and the original birdsong and insects, the roars of animals in the jungle, the sound of water flowing in the stream, and so on, all gradually disappeared.

call--

call--

Like the sound of flames beating in the wind.

But there was no spark around, and even because the sun set and night fell, this unrecognizable ruin was shrouded in darkness.

Shao Xuan kept staring at his palms on the ground without moving at all. He felt that under his palms, it was getting warmer and warmer, as if something was spreading underground and was about to burst out of the ground.

A bit of fire flashed through his fingers, especially in the dark night.

Soon, more firelight appeared from under Shao Xuan's palm, and from the little spark at the beginning, it became bigger and bigger, and Shao Xuan's palms could not cover it.

After the firelight under the palm became larger, it was divided into six branches and gradually spread in six directions. There was no rising flame, but like magma, it stretched in their respective directions. It extended all the way into the woods, where Shao Xuan could not see.

Withdrew your hands and stood up. Shao Xuan looked at the six branches extending from the same point.

Is this the "root" of the Yanjiao tribe that Laoho's ancestors called? The central point where the six branches converge. Is that where the original fire was?

Just thinking about it, Shao Xuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He seemed to have fallen into such an uncontrollable but special state again.

Look under your feet, the ground that should have been full of flowers and soil,

Turned into a piece of stone, the size and arrangement of this stone is very familiar, as if it were. Standing in the fire pit of the Yanjiao tribe.

Fire pond? !

Shao Xuan raised his eyes to look elsewhere.

The original ruins are gone, replaced by images that are not clear, densely packed with people standing not far away, as well as those stone houses that are much taller than people behind the crowd, just like when they were in Yan. Compared with the houses of most tribes, these stone houses are larger, taller and much grander, as depicted on the murals in the caves near the foot of the mountain. .

There are also some carved stone statues, some of people and some of beasts. Some of them still look like warriors slaying beasts.

In a place close by, there are some people standing in an arrangement similar to what Shao Xuan saw with his own eyes when he was offering sacrifices to the tribe. There were also warriors who performed sacrifice dances, as well as those erected pillars and sacrifices. There were still six people standing near the fire pond, and Shao Xuan couldn't see their specific appearance. Only a vague figure could be seen. Their decoration is more "gorgeous" than the warriors of the sacrificial dance, and the ornaments hanging on their heads are more complicated.

A figure stepped into the fire pit. He walked towards Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan knew that this was not really for himself. The purpose of this person should be the kind of fire that burns in the place where he is. And this person should be a witch from the Yanjiao tribe.

These are all characters who can be called "ancestors". If people from the tribe across the river see such a scene, they probably have to kneel again, right?

Shao Xuan stood there, quietly looking at the figures around him.

The witch walked to the fire and didn't know what to put down, then backed away, exited the fire, stood by the fire and started raising his arms, he should be singing.

The surroundings seem to be brighter.

Shao Xuan looked around him, and the rapidly rising flames enveloped him, and because of the sudden rising flames, the surroundings were illuminated even brighter, and the crowd standing not far away was also illuminated. However, Shao Xuan still looked at him. It's not clear, only a rough figure can be seen, men and women, old, small, and some accompanying hunting dogs that are probably engraved on the side.

Everyone was looking in the direction of Tinder, no matter which way Shao Xuan looked, even if he couldn't see the expressions of those figures, he could still feel that they were all looking here.

Lift your feet and walk out of the center, out of the area covered by the fire.

Shao Xuan is like a bystander, looking at the figures around him, they haven't changed because of Shao Xuan's movement, because the two exist at different points in time, and these are all reappearances of the past, just as they were back then. When Shao Xuan followed the advance team into the green space, he saw the scene of green thieves walking at night.

The crowd standing around knelt down and bowed devoutly in the direction of the fire pond.

The surroundings were covered with a layer of fire.

Turning back, Shao Xuan looked in the direction of the fire pond. The rolling flames were higher than what he saw when he participated in the sacrifice of the Yanjiao tribe, and the flames were much more violent. On fire, extremely heroic.

The fire pond three flames, this is only the first flame, it has already reached this level, if it is the third flame, what will happen?

Back then, in the Yanjiao tribe, when I first saw the flame of the fire, I thought it was incredible and magnificent, but now, when I see the scene in front of me, I know what the real fire of fire is, just like a certain animal skin scroll The picture I drew before.

Just as Shao Xuan was standing by the fire pond in the hometown of the Yanjiao tribe, watching the images that had passed for nearly a thousand years, it was on the other side of the river far away in the middle.

At this time, not many people in the Yanjiao tribe would go out. The area near the foot of the mountain was already dark, and the Yeyans were also flying around, staring at each family, waiting for whoever came out, and then rushed up. attack it.

The further up the mountain, the more flames, some soldiers are burning fires at home, maybe they are getting food, maybe they are just burning the fire, and then talking around the fire.

At the top of the mountain, Wu noticed something, but he didn't even take his crutches. He walked out of the stone house like the wind and headed towards the fire pond. The soldiers who were originally guarding around the fire pond wanted to inform Wu and the leader of the fire pond, but they didn't want to. The witch has come.

Looking at the scene in the fire pond, Wu seemed stunned and stood there. There was a momentary blank in my mind.

In the fire pond, there was originally only a kind of fire that was a little bigger than a bean. It is jumping violently now, and then suddenly rises, rolls up, and expands to the entire fire pit.

Now is not the time of sacrifice, and there are no ceremonies, and even the witches do not do anything, but the flames in the firepit are the same as the sacrifices every year after winter. Burned.

Still on fire! Moreover, the rolling flames are even stronger than the flames that burn during sacrifices every year!

"This...this is..." The leader who rushed over after receiving the report was equally stunned after seeing the scene in the fire pond.

The leader Ao's words made Wu from the blank state just now react. He was just too excited and forgot to react.

"He's here! He's found it! Ah Xuan has found the home of Yanjiao!"

Wu knelt on the ground and bowed in the direction of the fire pond.

In the hearts of tribal people, he has always been a witch with a masterful demeanor, an age. Kneeling on the ground and crying in a mess, but no one present would laugh. They knelt on the ground with Wu. Although they didn't quite understand what this meant, they had an idea in their hearts that made them extremely excited.

Shao Xuan has been away from the tribe for a while. From the end of the rainy season to now, winter is approaching. No one knows whether Shao Xuan can safely cross the river, or after that. Something will come across, after all. It was just a young warrior.

Although everyone was fantasizing, they also hoped that Shao Xuan could find something there. However, everyone felt uneasy in their hearts. After all, there are too many dangers in the river. There must be more dangers and troubles on the other side of the river. Can Shao Xuan be able to solve it alone?

And now, the change in the flames in the fire pond, combined with what Wu had just said, told everyone on the top of the mountain that Shao Xuan not only crossed the river safely, but also found the homeland of the tribe!

The old people who rushed over were so excited that they didn't know what to say.

The people at the foot of the mountain also noticed the changes on the mountain. The flames that rose were too obvious, and around, those Yeyans who were flying around arrogantly just now have now avoided far away, just like when they sacrificed every year. Fear.

Lao Ke walked out the door, looked at the fire pond on the top of the mountain, and said to Caesar next to him: "Is that caused by Ah Xuan?"

Caesar stared at the top of the mountain, looked at Lao Ke, and made a humming sound in his nose, as if responding to Lao Ke's words.

Not only the obvious changes in the Yanjiao tribe, but even on the river side, whether in the central or peripheral areas, there are many people who have changed.

Yan Shuo went out on the mountain today to hunt a not-so-big beast. After his strength increased, although the totem pattern was still faint in many cases, it was much better than before, and sometimes he could hunt some beasts back to his wife and children.

At this time, Yan Shuo's family was eating barbecue around the fire and talking. When they noticed something, Yan Shuo looked at his arm. The faint totem pattern appeared on its own. Moreover, the pattern was more colorful than before. Deep and clear.

He didn't say much, he just clenched his fist tightly, then smiled at his wife and children, the fire reflected in his eyes was bright: "I think what we have been looking forward to is almost here."

on the grassland.

Lao Hoi was burning a fire at home, dealing with some herbs he had dug up today. He was busy with his work, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He didn't disturb his sleeping wife. , by the firelight, look at the image reflected in the basin.

He saw that some lines appeared on his face, the color was not dark, because the light was too dark, and he couldn't see clearly, but he knew what it was, it was exactly the same as the lines on his father's face back then!

That kind of power is real, not the illusory and elusive feeling it used to be.

It exists in his own body, in every piece of flesh and blood. flow.

A wide river.

Wooden boats with a height of several meters or even more than ten meters are docked on the shore. Compared with the boats of other tribes, these boats are considered extremely luxurious.

And not far from these big ships, some tattered small boats are docked on another bank densely. Compared with those big boats, these small boats look pitiful.

Gather on the shore next to the boat, where some tourists gather. They have to work until late every day to come back, and then they all gather here to set up a big fire and get some food to eat.

Even now, they laugh, they are better than those who have nowhere to go and endure hunger every day, even if they are not very comfortable.

As they were talking, the people around the fire were stunned as if they had seen something unbelievable.

There was no chatter and laughter, and several people who were slightly taller than the others who were eating food with their upper body naked, felt the strange situation around them, and were about to ask, but they saw everyone pointing at themselves and others, one by one following the quilt. It was as if people were strangling their necks, "Uh" for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

However, when they looked at their naked upper body along the place where everyone was pointing, they were also shocked, their hands trembled, and even the stone rice bowl that was usually very precious for anyone to fight with, fell, and half a bowl of broth Sprinkling it on the ground, if it is normal, everyone will probably regret it, and even lick it on the ground, pick up the bit of meat that fell and eat it.

However, now no one's attention is paid to those meat residues.

"Picture... totem pattern..."

I don't know who made a sound first, but like a torch, it detonated a barrel of oil.

Totem pattern!

Although these totem patterns did not last long, this night was destined to make some people sleepless, and it also caused dramatic changes in the psychology of some people.

It's just that Shao Xuan, who caused all this but didn't know it, stood by the fire pool in the hometown of the Yanjiao tribe, watching those scenes disappear, everything was restored to the original appearance of the ruins, no tall stone houses, no stone statues, no There is no shaman, everyone from the past is no longer there, the fire pond is not what it used to be, and the six extended branches have disappeared.

Shao Xuan let out a long sigh.

"The glory of the past is no longer!"

The scene was illusory, only he could see it, but when Shao Xuan saw the situation on the surrounding grass, his pupils shrank.

The six pulse-like places that extended from the fire, all the flowers and plants that had grown on them disappeared, leaving only the bare ground.

It seems that it is not all illusory. The six branches of Tinder just now really appeared.

However, in the Wanshi tribe not too far from the beast forest.

"There is a change in the mountain forest, although I don't feel it clearly, but I have a feeling that there will be the greatest threat to the Wanshi tribe!" The Wanshi tribe witch with a bone decoration, facing the direction of the mountains and forests, his expression is like eating people generally.

The leader of the Wanshi tribe, who was standing beside the witch, looked grimly in the direction of the forest and ordered the person who came over.

"Go and prepare, and take the Wanshi beast tomorrow into the forest!" (To be continued)
