It is difficult to know whether there is a notion of nominality on the edge of civilization and barbarism.

Under the threat of many dangers, these things that were accustomed to the age of civilization have become chaotic.

Perhaps when intelligent life begins to dominate an area, these things will gradually sprout.

But at the moment, it is clearly bleak and pale.

Some humanoid creatures, walking slowly and cautiously above the barren mountains.

Due to the sparse soil in this mountain range, there is little vegetation.

Compared to the nearby forest, it is obviously safer here.

Plants that grow freely in the forest make walking extremely dangerous.

Poisonous insects hidden under the humus layer and dense foliage are enough to cause great trouble.

In the era of recklessness before the establishment of a medical system, poisoning would lead to a significant decrease in survival rates.

The humanoids walked in silence.

They had to cross this mountain and travel to another area to get extra salt that could be saved.

In some time, winter is coming.

The storage of scarce meaty foods needs to be balanced in a different way.

The strongest humanoid walked at the front, his green eyes full of wariness.

Although this mountain range is safer than the nearby forest.

But without the cover of trees, it will be easier for hunters from the sky to detect their presence.

This time they were lucky, and they walked safely through the mountains.

But at this moment, the humanoid creature in the lead seemed to hear something.

"Drink!"

He stopped in an instant, half-crouching on the ground.

The humanoid creature behind him also entered a state of vigilance with his movements.

It was an unfamiliar sound, and the humanoid creature headed had never heard anything like it.

In such a natural environment, the unknown means great danger.

For a long time, nothing happened.

The humanoid creature at the head carefully stood up from the ground and continued to walk forward with the humanoid creature behind him.

But that strange voice still echoed in his ears......

…………

…………

It was late at night, and the process of taking salt was smooth.

The salt they brought back was enough for everyone to spend the long night.

Ever since the tribe gathered, the bonfires that have been burning emit a warm and bright glow.

The humanoids began their daily nightlife.

But the humanoid creature led by the day refused the call of the female beside him.

"Drink ......"

The female next to her made some kind of unhappy sound and fell asleep.

The humanoids, on the other hand, were in a different situation.

The shouts in his ears grew stronger and stronger......

In a trance, he seemed to see a big tree.

What is that?

He was thinking.

A rare respite for him to try to understand the unknown in his ears with his own wisdom.

But it didn't come of it – it was something completely alien to him.

He felt that those voices seemed to be filled with something difficult to tell.

It is different from the roar of the beast, different from the call of the people.

It has a certain mysterious charm, like the pinprick of a poisonous bee that makes the heart tickle......

What is that?

Darkness gradually enveloped everything.

A strange, intense emotion that makes it impossible for humanoids to sleep.

He slowly climbed up from the soft haystack.

He walked out, out of a warm, safe area.

The cold wind of the night blew on his thick fur.

With the humid air of distant areas, the chill is as painful as a pinprick in the face.

He hesitated......

Danger at night is no less scarce than during the day.

Harsh and violent environments, sometimes more deadly than beasts.

But there was something that lingered in his mind.

It was a throbbing, a calling!

It makes death less fearful.

It makes the night less hideous.

He's going there, for something......

In the midst of the chaos, humanoids make their way through dangerous forests, avoiding the beasts of their hunt.

In the bitter cold wind, he came to a large tree.

The humanoid creature stared at the tall trees in front of them.

It was the first time he had seen such a tall tree.

It was too high, and its deep shadows were as suffocating as mountains in the darkness of the night.

The humanoid didn't know why they were here.

Risking death, come here on this cold night......

But when he looked up and saw the leaves on the towering treetops.

He felt as if he understood something......

It's like the sound of a roar in your ears after moving down from a towering mountain range.

Everything seems to be different.

It's like something, just a little bit close......

The humanoid creature touched his aching gums.

Of his kind, he lived long enough.

Maybe in a little while, he will be like the rest of his kind:

Be the fuel for that campfire......

After a long time, the humanoid began to try to climb.

The rough skin of the trees makes his climbing less difficult.

In a trance, the humanoid felt some kind of gaze.

It's like the eyes of its own cubs when they look at their own kind.

The kindness of the elderly?

For a moment, such words came to the minds of the humanoids.

But what is that?

The humanoid didn't know it, he just climbed slowly but surely.

Little by little, little by little, I approached the treetops that seemed to go deep into the clouds......

As he climbed, the sound of the wind in his ears gradually became noisy.

It was as if something was angry.

The humanoid hesitated again, feeling like he was stepping into the territory of some beast.

But the throbbing of his heart made him keep climbing.

As the altitude increases, the sound of the wind in your ears becomes more violent!

Like the lightning of the sky, and like the fire of the earth!

The cold gradually took away his body temperature, and the fire of life disappeared little by little......

Finally, he climbed to a treetop.

He was already able to reach a leaf......

The humanoid clutched the trunk of the tree, and he reached out and grabbed a leaf.

Rumble!

There was a sudden flash of thunder in the sky! The bright white light illuminates everything!

But in the consciousness of the humanoids, something brighter than thunder roars!

"First ......"

He tried to make a sound.

In the darkness of the night again, he gave himself a name.

But at this time, due to the effects of the low temperature, his body began to lose control.

The stiff palm of his hand was released from the trunk of the tree, and he fell from the treetops like a bird with broken wings!

Exhausted nerves could no longer support the miracle, and darkness overwhelmed him......

But at this time, some invisible force held him up.

As kind as an elder, he slowly fell to the ground.

The poisonous insects around them left one after another, as if something drove them.

Some nocturnal beasts passed by him, and they didn't hear it.

Gradually, the night fades away, and the day brings warmth and hope......

"First ......"

The humanoid creature awoke from his stupor, and for a moment he saw the morning light and the sea of stars.

He saw hope......
