"Hey, I didn't catch any decent prey today!"

In a dimly lit desert, rustling, a bare-chested young snake man crawled in the desert with some loss, carrying a stone spear on his shoulder, and a few fluffy sand rabbits hanging.

Jason raised his head and looked at the dim sky, and sighed deeply, the sky has been drowsy for a while, there is no sunlight shining down, and a lot of the sand crops planted in the tribe have died.

Coupled with the unknown fall of the snake god served by their three-headed tribe, in such a world, without the protection of the beast god, their tribe began to decline rapidly, and the high-quality hunting grounds were constantly seized by nearby tribes.

The most deadly is the destruction of that small oasis, in the past, they could also exchange water resources by serving the snake god, but now they have to go to the oases of other beast gods, consuming more resources to obtain the water they need to survive.

And this may not be exchanged, and sometimes it will be robbed, which will make the current situation of the tribe even worse, if it continues like this, their three-headed tribe will perish sooner or later.

"O great beast god, be merciful and save poor us!"

I don't know if the prayer worked, the dim world suddenly ushered in light, a dazzling sun appeared in the sky, Jason's face suddenly showed joy, but soon this round of the sun quickly went away, and the light disappeared for a moment.

"What's going on?"

Jason scratched at his short black hair in disbelief, and finally sighed, and continued on the way back, he couldn't live anymore, thinking about the point of such a thing.

The wind blows every day, the yellow sand flies all over the sky, and in the distance you can see the small village surrounded by the earth and stone wall, which is the three-headed clan where Jason lives, and the village is scattered with mound houses.

Walking into a somewhat lonely tribe, and was about to go home with food, Jason was suddenly stunned for a moment, and found that many clansmen were building something against the yellow sand, and his mother was among them, he walked over suspiciously, this weather usually does not come out.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

The middle-aged female snake who was directing the work was stunned, slowly turned her head, her long hair curled behind her head was half white, her face was tired and haggard, and she said with a trace of bitterness in the depths of her eyes.

"Jason, the major beast gods have issued an order, and all tribes must strictly build altars dedicated to soul fire in order to face the arrival of the Dark Age!"

"Oh, that's right, Mother, you see, I caught a few sand rabbits when I went out hunting today!"

Jason didn't quite understand what this altar was for, but raised the prey in his hand, hoping to get some praise, Cecilia opened her mouth and hugged him, crying silently, Jason was confused, and quickly reached out to pat his mother's back, comforting helplessly.

"Mother, don't cry, is there something wrong with Jason?"

"No, no, Jason didn't do anything wrong, it's the mother... I'm sorry for you!"

The surrounding snake people lowered their heads when they saw this scene, and they seemed to feel a little guilty.

After crying for a while, Cecilia continued to direct the work, and Jason was also sensibly sent home by a clansman, but he touched his head in confusion, everyone is so strange today!

"Brother!"

At this moment, a soft scream sounded, and a delicate little Lori snake man with short black hair wrapped in animal skins on his upper body ran out, hugged Jason, and wrapped it around his body slipperily.

"Is there a person at home who is well-behaved, and he doesn't cause trouble to his mother!"

Seeing this, Jason didn't think much about it, showed a doting smile, and reached out to touch his sister's little head.

"Carly is very good at home!"

Carly rubbed her brother's arms with her little face and replied in a coquettish voice, how can you not trust me.

"So well-behaved, how about my brother reward you for roasting a sand rabbit today?"

"Yay!"

Walking into the sandstone house, Jason greeted the spiritual seat above the living room, and at the top of his father's spiritual seat was a large hideous snake head.

It is said that this is the head left by the three-headed snake god after the fall, and it was only after his father fought hard to get it back, and then for the continuation of the three-headed tribe, his father, as the patriarch, resolutely decided to inherit the power of the snake god.

But the father failed, and after a group of powerful warriors also failed and died, the last strong man of the tribe, the mother, took over the duties of the patriarch and announced that he had abandoned this unrealistic plan.

Yes, after all, it is the power of the great beast gods, and how can they be stolen by mortal creatures.

After cleaning up the sand rabbit briefly, Jason lit the dry wood with flint and steel, and then skewered the sand rabbits one by one, and there was no seasoning, so they were roasted on the fire.

Carly obediently sat aside, wagging her little tail like a pug waiting to be fed, her little black eyes wide open and shining.

"Brother, I'm so thirsty and want to drink a little water!"

After a while, Carly lowered her little head in silence and muttered in a low voice, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Well, then I'll go get some water!"

Jason licked his chapped lips, touched his sister's head, picked up a small porcelain bowl, and walked to the innermost room, where there was a small tree with spikes all over his body, and he carefully picked up the grains of sand, and it took a long time to collect a little water.

"Little glutton, drink!"

Looking at the sparkling water, Carly's eyes lit up, and she took a small sip of the porcelain bowl, then stopped, licked her lips, and reluctantly handed the bowl to her brother.

"My brother is already an adult, so he doesn't know how to be thirsty!"

Jason smiled and waved his hand, and Carly hesitated for a moment, taking the remaining small sip into her stomach and exhaling comfortably.

"Ah, Carly really wants to grow up soon, so she won't be thirsty all the time!"

"Carly wants to live a tribal life where she can drink water every day!"

Jason smiled silently as he roasted the rabbit meat, and gagged his sister's mouth with a roast rabbit, leaving another one for his mother, he picked up the rest of the roast rabbit, cut it into many portions, and put it in a cloth bag, ran out, and distributed it to some hungry children.

His father has always taught him since he was a child that everyone in the tribe is a family, and as an ordinary small tribe, everyone must help each other to survive well.

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, as the patriarch of the tribe, you need to think more about the tribe and take good care of the tribesmen, now many people are hungry, and he has to do his best to help his mother share some of the pressure.
