Chapter Seventy-One: Ancient Monuments
All the way to the west, the fifth Xuan is not completely aimless.
From the mouth of the Fire Tribe warrior who found him, he knew that the current Fire Tribe was at the junction of the grassland and the desert.
So just go west to find the desert, and then follow the border between the steppe and the desert to the south, and you can find the Fire Tribe.
Little Wang Ba is so fast in the water that he can even move forward while sleeping.
Fifth Xuan asked curiously, and Xiao Wang Ba explained to him: This is an instinctive control of water.
In this regard, the Fifth Xuan can only understand that this is the talent of the divine beast, just like the brain of a genius, ordinary people can never understand it.
On the way west, Xiao Wang Ba would poke out of the water from time to time and go ashore to play.
His play consisted mainly of eating land creatures, and he tasted the fish in the river and found them unpalatable.
Along the way, the fifth Xuan was led by him to fight tigers and leopards and kill jackals.
The day before yesterday, the fifth Xuanzui was cheap, mentioning that the bear's paw is a delicacy in the world, but Xiao Wang Ba listened to it, and searched for three days in this jungle, and still did not find it at sunset today.
"Your Majesty, you know, I'm a totem, I don't have a mouth, I really don't know if this bear's paw is delicious. ”
Fifth Xuan persuaded bitterly, he had never eaten bear's paws in his previous life, but he just said it casually, who would have thought that Xiao Wang Ba would take it seriously.
"Ang ......"
Xiao Wang Ba replied perfunctorily and began to explore the road again.
The sun has set, the moon has risen, and there is a silver glow between the heavens and the earth, which is not bright, but the eyes of the fifth Xuan and Xiao Wang Ba are very good, and they can really see it even in the jungle.
Left and right, I don't know how long I went deep into the jungle, Fifth Xuan suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the terrain nearby.
If it's an ordinary mountain range, it's okay to have a flat place once in a while, but after walking out for a long time, there are flat places on the left and right, which is a bit weird.
"Little Wang Ba go slowly, I think this is ...... Not quite right. ”
Fifth Xuan's gaze searched everywhere, and such a flat land always felt like a place where humans had lived.
Xiao Wang Ba was a little confused, so he didn't feel any threat, but he still obediently slowed down.
"Over there, the direction of the moon, look what that is. ”
The fifth Xuan suddenly made a discovery and guided Xiao Wang Ba forward.
When he came to the fifth Xuan guide, half of the skeleton was exposed on the ground, and Xiao Wang Ba was a little puzzled.
It was normal for primitive societies to see bones on the side of the road, and after Xiao Wang Ba ate the beast, the bones were thrown everywhere, and he didn't understand why the fifth mystery was curious about this bone.
"Dig it out, lighten it, don't break the vines, and try to let me see it in its original form. ”
Fifth Xuan's voice was a little excited, because the shape of this bone was very similar to a shovel.
In his previous life, he had seen a bone in a museum near Hangzhou, which was said to be a tool used by ancient ancestors to plough the land, similar to the shovel of later generations.
The shape of this bone is very similar, and you can vaguely see some vines on the ground, so I wonder if this is really a bone rake.
"Puff ......"
Xiao Wang Ba used his claws to dig through the ground around the bones, revealing the bones in their overall shape.
Fifth Xuan looked at the shape of the bone, and felt more and more that this was the bone, because the shape of the bone was very similar to the shoulder blade that Xiao Wang Ba had bitten when he ate a buffalo a few days ago.
The bones are made of shoulder blades, sticks, and vines.
As Xiao Wang Ba excavated, the underside of the shoulder blades was finally revealed, and there were bundled vines, which were already a little loose, and under the vines, there were broken wooden sticks.
"It's really a bone, could it be that there was once a farming tribe here?"
Such a discovery was really surprising to the Fifth Xuan, farming, it was a survival mode that surpassed all the tribes that the Fifth Xuan had seen now.
Hunting can feed a few people, and if you want the tribe to become bigger and stronger, only farming can do.
"Just search around the neighborhood and see what else. ”
After the fifth Xuan finished speaking to Xiao Wang Ba, he also watched excitedly left and right.
If you can find the secret of farming and bring it to the Fire Tribe, then the Fire Tribe will go up a notch, and it will be much easier to strengthen the tribe.
When the fifth Xuan was educating the fourth generation of witches, he thought about improving the speed of the tribe and switching to hunter-gatherer survival mode to farming, but unfortunately he couldn't find good seeds, so this idea could only be put on hold.
It would be great if you could find seeds suitable for farming here.
A person and a turtle searched carefully and found a lot of tools similar to bones, and these discoveries all corroborated the fifth Xuan's guess.
"Why did the tribes that entered the farming disappear, and did they move forward, or were they annexed by other tribes?"
Fifth Xuan wanted to explore the secrets of the past from these discoveries, but unfortunately he was not a graduate of the history department, and he knew very little about archaeology.
"Look at this broken wall, it looks like it was made of stone and earth, more advanced than a house made of pure stone, and the civilization that once existed here was indeed more advanced than I have seen, but where did they go?"
The fifth Xuan was puzzled, it is said that the speed of transmission of advanced culture should not be slow, but the tribes he saw seemed to have reversed history.
At the beginning, the fire tribe, the grass tribe, the earth tribe, and the water tribe did not even have stone tools, and hunting was not the main responsibility, and most of them were mainly picking.
The generational difference is too great, and why did such an advanced tribe disappear, and finally the territory became a jungle.
If it weren't for Xiao Wangba's greed, he wouldn't have found such a place.
"Look for it, look for seeds, since it's a farming tribe, there must be seeds, and seeds are the most important. ”
Fifth Xuan couldn't wait to describe the appearance of the seed to Xiao Wang Ba: a bunch of things that are not big in the circle.
He didn't know what the berries were, but they weren't good for storage, and they had to be made into pulp to preserve them before the weather was cold, so they could be picked and eaten when the weather was hot.
It is impossible to support the stomachs of primitive tribesmen on berries, and it would be great if wheat, sorghum and even soybean seeds could be found.
After a nervous search, until noon the next day, one person and one turtle failed to find a seed.
The seed was not found, but the Fifth Xuan found a magical place.
It was laid out like an altar, with broken stone pillars on the left and right, and some incomprehensible marks on the rocks on the ground.
The traces are like words, one of which is clear, it is a zigzag, with two more forks on the left and right, and the front is out, and it is an oracle bone inscription at a glance.
"Civilization with writing is indeed more advanced than the tribes we see now, perhaps...... The dragon tribe may have words?"
At the beginning, I heard the fourth generation of Wu say that the Dragon Tribe people speak very specially, unlike the Fire Tribe, where they all have whining sounds, their pronunciation is more complicated.
More complex pronunciation will inevitably allow for more accurate communication of information, and it is not an exaggeration to correspond to phenotopic characters.
"Could it be that this was once the address of the Dragon Tribe?"
Fifth Xuan shook his head, unable to make an accurate judgment, and began to observe what looked like an altar on his own.
