Chapter 9: Finding Your Way
Thor bit his lip tightly, he just felt that God had been working against him since he crossed over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not to mention crossing into a barbarian, he was attacked again when he inherited the position of chief, and finally conquered another tribe and made up for the loss, but he was forced to flee again.
And now that the escape has not yet begun, a storm that looks like it will be very strong is already waiting for them.
"—" Thor couldn't help but explode in a familiar language. Morey and Diana couldn't understand Saul's words, and they only saw young Noam, who angrily threw his fist into the air.
Venting his anger in the most familiar way he had ever been, Thor calmed down, and now there was no time for him to get angry, his five fingers were folded, and he played with them one by one from top to bottom, his eyes staring ahead, thinking about what to do.
"Foothold, foothold......" Thor thought desperately, where they were the tribe that Morey had once ruled in place of the Cervero Quko, to the north of Thor's original small tribe.
Now, everyone needs to go south, which is the direction of Thor's former tribe.
"Think about it, there must be some foothold around......" Thor was eager to split his head at this time, and then took out the memories of the past one by one and put them in front of him to sift through.
The deeply buried memories were excavated by Thor one by one, and he seemed to feel a flash of light in the dark.
"...... that?"
It was Thor's first hunting venture, when he was a half-grown child, and the warriors of the tribe, led by Norme Sr. Sr., stepped cautiously into the jungles south of the tribe.
The introduction of memories seemed to make the long river of memories burst all at once, and countless fragments poured in one after another, converging into clear images.
That year, the hunting was difficult, the tribe was very difficult, and my father had to take people into the southern jungle that he had never dared to set foot in before.
Before the hunt, Old Norm told Sol that he must follow everyone's actions, but the active Sol still took advantage of the unpreparedness and sneaked away.
The jungle was so large that Thor had lost his way as soon as he broke away from the group.
"Why hasn't my father come looking for me?" thought young Thor, hiding in a cave, sadly. It was a big cave that made people panic, it was pitch black, the wind was howling like some monster, and the stone pillars hanging from the roof of the cave seemed to be piercing at any time, which made people tremble.
Little Thor spent his most fearful night there, only to be found by his father the next day.
And he later learned that old Noam was already desperate, and no one would think that a half-grown child could survive a night in the jungle to the south.
"That cave ......," muttered Thor as his eyes grew brighter and brighter, like a small flame burning.
"Blacktooth!" Thor shouted
The Black Tooth had freed all the slaves, and the five families were basically formed, each with about sixty people, and the dwarf savages were constantly shuttling through the crowd, reminding the people to bring their belongings, although for them there was no wealth worth carrying.
Hearing Thor's cry at this moment, he hurried to Noam, and before he could speak, Thor asked in a hurry:
"Do you remember when I was a kid and I went hunting with my father and I got lost?"
Blacktooth rubbed his head, he didn't expect Thor to suddenly ask him this, seeing the tribe's Noam looking anxious, Morey and Diana stood aside with serious expressions, Blacktooth understood that this was probably an important matter, and lowered his head and thought about it seriously.
"Noam, when you first hunted?"
"Yes, yes, that time, do you remember finding my cave at the end?"
Blacktooth scratched at the pigtail on the back of his head, if he still had some impression of Thor's lost experience, but he really couldn't remember exactly where he found Blacktooth.
"Do you remember the general direction?" Seeing that Blacktooth couldn't answer, Thor could only ask in a relenting manner.
"Remember, Noam. This time the pigtailed young savage did not hesitate, he still remembered the direction, after all, it was also his first time on a hunt.
"That's good—" Thor breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned his head closer, stared into the black-toothed eyes, and said slowly:
"Blacktooth, I need you to take a few men and mark your way to the cavern where we will be staying tonight. With that, Thor looked up again and called Kratos, who had just been with the hunting party.
"The jungle to the south is dangerous, I have Kratos with you, you must find the cave, and I will take the rest of the people to follow the mark you left behind-"
Listening to Thor's words, Blacktooth's forehead was already oozing with sweat, as if it was because of the sweltering heat before the rainstorm, and as if he realized the difficulty of the task.
"Noam...... For example, if I don't find ......"
"I'm sure you'll find it. Thor looked at Blacktooth with a determined gaze, silently adding in his heart, "You must find it."
What if he didn't find it? He couldn't imagine an entire tribe facing a terrible storm in the jungle at night and not knowing where to go next.
Blacktooth clenched the iron spear in his hand, since Thor captured more than twenty iron spears, Blacktooth was naturally assigned one, he loved this iron spear and almost never left his side.
He clenched the spear tightly in his hand at this point, clearly feeling the heaviness of Thor's gaze. Blacktooth is not stupid, on the contrary, he has the intelligence that ordinary barbarians rarely have, so of course he knows the fate of not finding a foothold.
"Boom—" A muffled thunder broke the silence in the sky, and an incomparably large thundercloud rolled in like an inverted waterfall in the sky, and the flowing clouds rolled and swelled, almost tilting to the ground.
The boundless pressure brought by the boundless black clouds, as if the whole world was about to be swept apart by this storm, making people feel the breath of the apocalypse.
Thor stared blankly at the thunderclouds in the sky, feeling incredulous, he had never seen such terrifying clouds before the rain, and it was hard to imagine what kind of wind and rain awaited them.
"Gone. Kratos' calm voice overshadowed the thunder in a trance for this moment, and he pulled out a snow-white bone blade from his leggings and patted Blacktooth on the shoulder, signaling that it was time for the latter to leave.
Blacktooth flickered to his senses, and he looked at Kratos, and strangely enough, his restless and anxious heart seemed to be calmed by the man's calmness.
The dark clouds that seemed to crush the whole world no longer made Blacktooth feel unbearable, and he looked at Thor's determined eyes, and felt that he had grasped a glimmer of hope.
"What is there to worry about? Nome is the leader chosen by the ancestors, and the warriors sent by the spirit of the ancestors to protect him are extremely strong and brave, how can they be crushed by a small rainstorm, the souls of the ancestors will definitely bless the tribe through the difficulties. ”
Thinking of this, Blacktooth's eyes lit up again, "Ancestors, please bless me to find that cave as you did with Nom." ”
