Half of the moon was obscured by fog, as if a corner was missing, hidden in the endless darkness of the sky, and the other half reflected the vague outline of the village on the ground.

A small clearing has been carved out of the sparse woods, where a small tribe of 100 people sits.

By the moonlight, you can faintly see that these dozens of tents are somewhat crowded, clustered with three giant torches.

In a tent near a torch, a boy who looked to be seventeen years old was sitting in the corner of a leather tent, listening intently to the stories told by the old priest in the middle of the tent, by the flickering light of the fire outside the tent.

There were more than a dozen children, big and small, around the boy, who were all listening intently, just like him.

There is such a gathering in the tribe every once in a while, and the sacrificial Abel said that this is the initiation of all the children of the tribe.

The sacrificial Abel said that the outside of the tribe is very dangerous, and the danger lies in the beasts and poisonous insects, as well as in natural disasters.

The neighboring tribes are quite friendly, but I have heard that there are some large tribes in distant places.

"I really want to go outside and have a look!" At the age of seventeen, he is already considered an adult, and he has also gone hunting with the uncles and uncles of the tribe, and has inspected the boundaries around the tribe.

I wouldn't have had the chance to go any farther, so I would love to go to the tribal bazaar, see the hunters of other tribes, and hear for myself what they have to say.

"Ah Gu, you stay, you all go back to sleep. The priest paused, and the staff in his hand turned dark brown because he had not left his hand for many years, and glanced lovingly at the children around him.

Only then did the young man come back to his senses, and moved his hand to the sacrificial Abel, and then said goodbye to everyone. When everyone left, he turned his head and looked at the sacrificial Abel with some doubts.

"Ah Gu, you are the pride of the tribe, and you are already the most powerful person in the tribe when you have just reached adulthood, so it stands to reason that it is time for you to go outside and see the world.

Abel has been holding back because he is afraid that you will die impulsively, there are too many unpredictable dangers in the outside world, which cannot be solved by your strength. The sacrificial Abel said, the folds on his face tightened, and a sad look was revealed.

Ah Gu once heard the old people in the tribe say that the tribe was once strong, because of the war between the tribes, the original land was occupied by other tribes, and it was only after several migrations that it came here.

"Your Abba and Auntie died in the battle between the tribes, and your Abba is also so strong, he is a very reasonable person.

He said that tribes are like two wild beasts, unless one can easily bite the other to death, otherwise it can only bring sorrow to everyone.

Your Abba saved a lot of people that day, and I was also saved by him, think more about what he said on his deathbed. After speaking, Abel patted Ah Gu's shoulder.

Ah Gu remembered the day when his father dragged his bloody body to him. Even though he was about to die, his tall and straight body was still standing there.

The only remaining arm touched Bone's head, and then pulled a rope from his neck, on which a bone was tightly tied.

"A bone, this belt, it's yours, this is the bone of our ancestors, our ancestors are called Chi, he represents a strong physique and a firm will.

Son, don't be sad, death is not terrible, my will in this life is to protect our tribe in this cruel world. I haven't wavered, and that's something to be happy about. ”

Ah Gu felt a little sad when he thought of this, he thought of his parents who died in that war, but he was also a little relieved, his father did not close his eyes in despair and pain, he was happy, he won his battle.

"Abel, I know, I'll go back first. As he spoke, he pressed the bone pendant on his chest and was about to get up.

"Ah, by the way, Ah Gu, tomorrow your Uncle Luo and they are going to set up a market, so you can go with you. Don't be impulsive, watch more and talk less. "The sacrificial Abel has beckoned to Ah Gu.

"Great, ahahahaha!" Ah Gu rolled back excitedly, stood up with his hands on the ground, and danced happily.

Sacrificial Abel smiled and shook his head, hey, it's still a child, and he was obviously sad just now, so his face changed.

Day 2

Ah Gu got up early, put on an animal skin coat, and pinned a scimitar the length of his small arm to his waist.

This knife was given to him by his father, and he had been exchanged for it from another tribe. A crescent-like scimitar, I don't know what kind of animal skin the scabbard is extremely exquisite.

The head of a monster carved in metal at the top of the knife handle, I don't know what kind of beast it is, is somewhat abstract and carved. Pulling out the scimitar, the blade is sharp and hard, and the few characters on the knife that look like patterns do not know whether they are words or paintings.

Walking out of the tent, Ah Gu couldn't help but start to get excited.

"I can finally go out and have a look. As he spoke, he ran towards the center of the tribe.

"You kid, I didn't sleep all night last night? haha, it's so early, wait. "Uncle Luo is a tall hunter in his forties, and he was a little amused when he saw Ah Gu, as if he had guessed that Ah Gu would come over early.

"Isn't that in a hurry? Ah Gu was a little embarrassed to be said.

The hunters of the tribe gathered in carts with frames of hides and ores, all tied to ropes. If you walk through the flat area in front of you, you will have to climb the mountain, and then you have to carry the frame on your back.

"Let's go. With a wave of Uncle Luo's hand, the team began to move, and on both sides were the old and young women and children of the tribe. They don't have the strength to go over the mountains to the market, and the road will be dangerous. I can only do some work such as picking wild fruits and vegetables and tanning animal skins.

Boom~~Boom~~~~~

There was a loud bang accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground, and puffs of smoke slowly rose from the sky, darkening the sky.

Uncle Luo's face changed, and he shouted, "Go and let everyone come out, gather and go north, Amira is angry." ”

The people around them immediately shouted in horror and ran towards their tents in a scattered manner. Agu saw in everyone's eyes a fear that he had never seen before.

"O Bone, run to the priest and carry him north until he is far from danger. Uncle Luo turned his head and said hurriedly.

Amira, the most feared god of all tribesmen who have known about it since childhood, is said to be in charge of the earth, and the earthquake volcano is his wrath. I don't know how many tribes have been destroyed in this deep mountain forest.

"This is struggling with the anger of nature, and I don't know if our tribe can still exist when Amira closes her eyes. Abel the priest was already standing outside the tent.

Seeing Ah Gu running away, the priest Abel greeted him with a cane in one hand and an animal skin bag in the other.

"Abo, let's~~"

"Don't say it, I know it all, let's go quickly, I've packed it up. Abel the priest interjected before Ah Gu could finish speaking.

Ah Gu had nothing to pack, and the most important things were carried with him, so he followed the priest Abel and the tribesmen to the north.

There is a large river to the north, which is farther away from the mountain, and it is safer in the event of a landslide.

The river is not suitable for such a small tribe, because there are many ferocious beasts around any huge water source.

If the large tribe can still drive away the beasts by virtue of the strength of the people, it is better to stay away from the small tribes.

At this time, there was no longer a predator and a prey, and all the animals fled desperately in the face of this natural disaster, whether they were herbivores or carnivores, they all ran towards the north in peace.

Boom~~~Click~~

The earth shook incessantly, and in some places it had cracked, and the large cracks had reached the width of two adult strides.

The tribesmen had just fled the tribe not far away, and in a loud noise, the tents of the tribe had been reduced to ruins in the thick dust, and all that remained was a huge crack in the Daodao.

There is a rare scene of peaceful coexistence between humans and animals on this land.

You can already see other tribes on both sides running towards the river. The river is approaching, and perhaps a little further on will be their new habitat.

In the face of this catastrophe, manpower is so ridiculous, maybe many people will die in each tribe, and the remaining tribes will gather to form a new tribe and continue to multiply in this deep mountain forest.

As everyone continued to walk north along the riverbank, many people had slowed down, and the shaking of the ground was much smaller.

Rumble~~~~~

Unexpectedly, this loud noise came from a distance, and it exploded in everyone's ears. Smoke billowed into the sky, blackening several mountains and the sky in the distance.

"Is the heavens going to kill me? Amira's wrath is about to burn us up. Abel the priest murmured, his eyes glazed out.

Many people around them were lying on the ground and kowtowing, and they could be faintly heard crying Amira.

Ah Gu was also very scared, what was going on in this world, he had never seen such an apocalyptic scene.

"Listen to me, look at the black smoke, the volcano is going to erupt, and soon this place will be a sea of fire, and we won't be able to outrun the magma. Abel the priest pointed to the black smoke that connected the heavens and the earth in the distance.

The people around listened and cried louder.

"yes, how can we outrun the fire. ”

"Amira is punishing us, we have no way to live"

"Please, Amira, I pray every day!"

Listening to the noise around him, Ah Gu looked at everything around him, and he was also a little overwhelmed.

"The only thing that can run through the lava is the river, and everyone hurry up and cut down the trees around them. Let's hold the tree and float along the river, we will definitely survive. The words of Abel the priest seemed to breathe new life into the tribesmen.

Before he could finish speaking, someone began to draw his sword and axe and rush into the forest by the river.

"The strong man cut down a few more trees for the woman and the child, and the woman tied the cut tree to a rope and pushed it into the river, holding on to the rope so that the tree would not be washed away. Hurry up, everyone, time is running out. Abel shouted to the old men and women on the shore.
