Chronicles of Primordial Wars

The weak in the mountains and forests are most vulnerable to attack, so Shao Xuan has been keeping his spirits up and paying attention to the surroundings. He is just an underage child now, and in the eyes of beasts and beasts, he is one of the weakest in the team.

When we crossed the basin, it was almost evening. Shao Xuan thought that there would be a cave here for rest. After all, the rule of the hunting team was not to go out hunting at night, and it was too dangerous to stay outside. There was no cave in this place to rest. Always feel insecure.

To Shao Xuan's surprise, the cave of the second stronghold was not on this side.

The second hunting ground is on the other side of the mountain, but...

Shao Xuan raised his head and looked at the mountain where he couldn't see the top or the border at all. It was too difficult to climb over. Even if he had the strong physical strength of a totem warrior, he might not be able to climb over in a day, not to mention it was too late. In the jungle near the foot of the mountain, there are already many bright eyes staring here.

Mai and the hunting team did not stop there, but continued to walk up the mountain.

There is indeed a hole near the mountainside. The hole is very large, and it is not naturally formed, nor is it deliberately dug by tribesmen, but a hole drilled by some kind of creature.

To be precise, it was actually a passage. Every time the hunting team came over, they would go in from here, and they could walk to the other side of the mountain and pass directly through the mountain.

On the wall near the entrance of the cave, there are densely engraved characters. In the last place, Shao Xuan saw Mai's name.

When every leader who leads a team passes through here, he will write his name on it. Therefore, the above names are all written by the leader of the hunting team in the previous tribe. When Mai can no longer continue to lead the team, the new team will After the leader is selected, when he comes here, the new leader will also write his name on it. To them, it was a badge of honor.

Before entering the cave, the people of the hunting party will hold a small ceremony to thank the ancestors who opened up this hunting route.

Mai put the spear in his hand at his feet, knelt down on one knee, palms inwards, folded his hands in front of his forehead, and bowed to the cave wall full of names.

"Respect the ancestors!!"

"Respectfully!"

Shao Xuan also followed the other members of the hunting team to show their gratitude with the same courtesy.

It is said that the route traveled by each hunting team was traveled by the ancestors. A long time ago, when the tribe was short-handed, there were not so many hunting teams. Every time they went out to hunt, they changed the routes one by one. This one, go to that route for hunting next time, and change another one next time.

Later, there were more people in the tribe, and several teams were divided. Each hunting route opened up by the ancestors had a hunting team going there.

The reason to follow the route is to avoid those unknown and unpredictable factors. What kind of beasts are on each hunting route? How many beasts are there? How is the geographical environment? All of these can be obtained from the experience passed down by generations of hunting warriors, and if you deviate too much from this route, you will not be able to respond in time when you encounter anything, and there will be greater losses.

Of course, the hunting route is only a general direction, and you can play freely on this basis. For example, Mai's hunting team, the route is to climb over the mountain where the first stronghold is located, then cross the basin, and then walk through the current mountain to the other side of the mountain.

As for some people in the tribe who have their own ideas and want to open up a new route, don't think about it except for the joint decision of the witch and the leader.

What? Delusional to open a new hunting route?

Are you stronger than your ancestors?

Absolutely impossible!

The new route is not easy to open tick,

Do you think this route is bad?

No reason! How dare you doubt your ancestors! Believe it or not, beat you to death? !

...

The people of the tribe are always very persistent about the things passed down by the ancestors. Even if there are many decisions that are not suitable for Shao Xuan, the people of the tribe do not think it is wrong at all.

In addition to being loyal to the totem, the tribe's people also have worship and trust in their ancestors beyond Shao Xuan's imagination. Even if the ancestors climbed out of the ground and told them that there is only one moon in the sky today, the tribe's people would not hesitate. Nod.

This is also the result of brainwashing and education of successive witches, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

The leaders of each generation of hunting teams lead the hunting. They always feel that only by walking the path of their ancestors can they be worthy of their ancestors and be worthy of the hunting route opened up by their ancestors. You can tell by looking at the names written on the stone walls at the entrance of the cave, and the ideas of the leaders are all similar.

After entering the cave, lit the fire, and the hunting team did not go inside. According to the previous habit, after entering the cave, they will spend the night at the entrance of the cave, and then go in early tomorrow morning. It will take some time to pass through the cave. Because it is not a straight line.

"How did this hole that leads to the other side of the mountain come from?" Shao Xuan asked Lang Ga while resting around the fire.

"When the ancestors found this place, the cave already existed. It is said that there was a stone worm king worm at the foot of the mountain, and the winding roads in the mountain were all drilled by it." Lang Ga said.

"Stone worms?!" Shao Xuan was surprised. The nearly circular passage was at least ten meters high, and after hearing from Mai and the others, in addition to the passages connecting both sides of the mountain, there were many passages leading to the underground or to the top of the mountain. I really can't believe that such a perforated cave passage of this scale is actually made by stone worms? !

What a big one!

It is incomparable with the stone worms used as bait!

However, this should be a statement passed down by the ancestors who first came here to open up hunting routes. As for whether there are really stone worms, it remains to be verified.

"Then... have any of the ancestors seen the stone worms under this mountain?" Shao Xuan asked. How many years have passed since the first generation of hunting teams came to open up the route, even if the tribal hunting team did not stay here for a long time, who has seen it?

"That's not true." Seeing that Shao Xuan was still suspicious, Lang Ga said, "But listen, there will be voices coming from the cave, and there must be a stone worm king."

Shao Xuan listened carefully. There were indeed some very small whirring sounds, but they were not necessarily caused by stone worms. Since there are many holes in the mountain, the wind blows in from one hole and blows out from the other holes. There will be such a sound.

There are still many doubts in my heart, but looking at Lang Ga's appearance, even if Shao Xuan asks, he can't get an answer. No longer arguing with these stubborn people, Shao Xuan turned to ask: "What's on the other side of the mountain? What's the difference from the mountain side?"

Sure enough, Lang Ga's attention was quickly diverted.

"Different? In fact, the biggest difference is that there are a lot of huge birds on the other side of the mountain." Lang Ga stretched out his arm and gestured. Although his arm was limited in length, Shao Xuan knew that it must be from the exaggerated expression on his face. It's really, really big.

In fact, in retrospect, Shao Xuan found that from the time he entered the forest to the present, large birds of prey were rarely seen. Although many of them were already very large in Shao Xuan's view, according to Lang Ga's description, in the other parts of the mountain, On one side, there are larger and more ferocious raptors. The feathers on the heads of some warriors in the tribal snow festival sacrifice ceremony were probably hunted on the other side of the mountain.
