Chapter 2: Serious Injuries
It has been 90,000 years since Emperor Wa created and sanctified people.
In just 90,000 years, many big and small things have happened in the desolate land. No one cares about the human race that was created by the Nuwa saint but disappeared mysteriously in an instant.
It seems that even Nuwa Niangniang has long forgotten about this matter.
The stars of the desolation are the debris of the detritus that shaped the desolate continent when Pangu Father God opened the heavens. For countless years, it has slowly rotated around the Flood Desolate Continent for a moment.
The infinite desolate stars are self-contained, vast and boundless, and are called the desolate star realm.
The Flood Desolate Star Realm is divided into four heavens in the east, west, north and south according to the four directions, and is divided into 28 regions according to the 28 Nakshatras, with countless star fields under its jurisdiction, and unlimited constellations and galaxies.
The Flood Desolation Star Realm is vast, but few large and small forces of the Flood Desolation are involved in it. Because, although the Star Realm has a vast area, compared to the desolate continent where the cosmic essence gathers and the body of Pangu Father God is transformed, the Star Realm is really too barren. Not only are there very few heavenly and earthly treasures, but even the aura that the spirit gods rely on to cultivate is very thin.
How could such a desert-like place attract the attention of all living beings in the wilderness?
Somewhere in the Flood Star Realm.
A tall mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles is like a giant beast entrenched in the crimson field, occasionally revealing hideousness and staring at the eight wildernesses.
Deep in the mountains, a small inconspicuous valley. The valley is only about ten miles long, and is blocked by a tall mountain at one end. A dragon-like waterfall cascades down from the rocks, carving out a deep pool at the bottom of the valley, and flowing through the valley to the deep mountain from the mouth of the valley at the other end.
The high ground on both sides of the valley is covered with lush pines and cypresses, and the flat land near the valley floor is a bush mixed with deciduous trees. From time to time, a fat hare poked its head out of the grass, looked at the sky timidly, and then shrank back and disappeared.
In the middle of the valley, near the banks of the river, there are dozens of simple houses made of giant wood and stone. Form a small village.
The ground in the village is littered with gnawed bones. Occasionally, there are several large unspoken beast hoof prints and deep claw marks on the ground. There were even a few houses with fresh animal blood and tooth marks on the walls.
The sun is setting and the sky is getting late. Smoke rose from the roofs of every house. Children were laughing and playing in the open space, and two children who looked to be only six or seven years old even played a huge animal bone several times longer than their bodies, and they started ping-pong. From time to time, animal bones will fall on each other's bodies and heads, making loud bumps, but the two children will not shake their bodies, and they will have fun playing with themselves. More than a dozen children gathered in a circle, clapping their hands as they watched.
Closest to the river is a dilapidated thatched hut with battered walls. The unpeeled giant wood has a faint musty smell.
The house is quite spacious, with a large fire pit in the middle. The flickering fire in the pond lit up the house. A woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old sat by the fire, weeping silently as she watched the dripping roast meat from the fire and the hot soup in a clay pot.
On a bed made of several animal skins, lay a burly man who was nearly a foot long. It was her husband, the first warrior in the clan, Xiong Yan. At this moment, this man who was as majestic as a mountain had his eyes closed, his face was pale, and his lips were full of bloody cracks and blisters. His right arm was tightly wrapped in a cloth, and the oozing blood stained the cloth black and red. Apparently, he had lost his right arm forever.
Inside the bed, there was also a seriously injured and unconscious teenager. A few strands of long black hair fell on his face scatteredly, and his slightly immature face was full of pain, and his brows were furrowed. The lips with a faint hairiness opened and closed from time to time, and a few murmurs came out.
The woman and her husband had migrated to the Wolf Wilderness with their clan more than ten years ago. Because the original tribe has developed over the years, the number of people has exceeded 3,000.
"Ying tripartite diversion" is an ancient tradition of the human race. When the population of a tribe exceeds 3,000, it is divided into several small tribes and goes to different places. It is said that this is done to better complete the continuation of the race and spread out the branches, and secondly, to express the reverence for the 3,000 ancestors created by Emperor Wa himself. In addition, there is a lack of food, and one place cannot provide food for too many people at the same time, so it is a last resort for the development of the ethnic group.
So, when the original tribe numbered three thousand, the chief began to divide according to the custom. The mother family stayed in the clan land, leaving behind a thousand people. The remaining 2,000 people were divided into 10 small groups and went to various places to develop.
Because this tribe is going to the wilderness of the flame wolf, it is called the Yan tribe.
Patriarch Chi Fengyan said that the rise of each tribe must be tested by calamity. But the catastrophe was too severe. The tribesmen clearly underestimated the sinister environment here.
As soon as the Yan clan arrived in the wilderness of the Yan Wolf, they were attacked by the overlord of this area, the Yan Wolf. The Yan tribe had no choice but to fight and retreat, and at the cost of heavy sacrifices, the tribe finally retreated into the nearby mountains. Later, after several bloody battles, the Yan clan finally got rid of the pursuit of the fire wolf and successfully survived in the depths of the mountain range.
Of course, this is only barely saving, and the fate of the race is still like a candle in the wind, in danger of extinction at any time. As for development and growth, let's survive first.
In this way, more than ten years have passed, and of the 200 people who came, only less than ninety were left at this time, and the rest had all become ghosts wandering in the field of the flame wolf. Among the remaining 80 people, a large part of them are the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled who have no power to protect themselves. Now, the Yan Clan can't even form a hunting party that can walk thirty miles out of the valley. It is foreseeable that if there is no accident, this small tribe will completely disappear from the field of fire wolves in the near future.
The Yan clan seems to be too unfavored by Emperor Wa!
However, something even more unfortunate befell him.
Three days ago, Bear Hunter led the hunting team out of the valley to hunt, and her son, a thirteen-year-old bear cub, also followed his father out of the valley for the first time in his life. Terran tradition states that only those who are able to hunt wild beasts independently can have names, men, women, and children. Therefore, her minor son can only follow his father's name Bear Hunt until he can hunt wild beasts independently. And she has no force, and she may only be called a bear hunting wife for the rest of her life.
There are twenty-five people in the hunting team, of which only Hunting Xiong Yan and another person have reached the realm of martial arts, and the rest have ten early stage strong bodies, four middle stage strong bodies, and two late stage strong body realms. There are also seven people, including bear hunting cubs, who have not even reached the initial realm of strengthening their bodies, and can only be regarded as ordinary people who are physically strong.
With reference to the strength of the demon beasts, the masters of the human race divide the force beyond the ordinary human race into nine realms: strong body, martial arts, congenital, qi induction, golden pill, yuan infant, transformation of gods, return to the void, and Mahayana.
There are only three people in the clan who are in the martial realm, and the patriarch Chi Fengyan generally leads a small number of elites to guard the valley mouth and protect the clansmen. The rest of the armed forces went out to hunt.
Without a strong strength as a guarantee, the hunting team is very careful in hunting in the big mountain infested by demon beasts (大山: the name of an ancient mountain handed down from ancient times). It is easy not to dare to go out of the valley for ten miles.
But the unexpected happened.
At noon, a cold moon viper and the hunting party met unexpectedly. Although it is only a small snake in its juvenile stage, its strength is indeed an out-and-out fifth-order demon beast! A dozen or so "little guys" with strong bodies and martial arts realms are really not in the eyes of others.
The first- and second-order demon beasts correspond to the human race's strong body stage, the third- and fourth-order demon beasts correspond to the martial period, the fifth-order corresponds to the congenital, and the sixth-order qi induction. Above the seventh order is a spirit.
After a fight, the hunting party was reduced by a third, and the rest were all wounded.
In order to save his son, the captain Hunting Xiong Yan was swept off his right arm by the snake's tail.
The first warrior of the Yan clan is considered to be wasted.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the unharmed Cold Moon Viper seemed to have lost interest in the group of weak creatures, and swam away with a letter on its own. Otherwise, what awaits the hunting team will definitely be the fate of the group. And what awaits the Yan Clan, which has lost most of its combat power, will also be the doom of the extinction of the clan!
The Yan clan was lucky to survive, but for the bear hunting wife, it was an out-and-out nightmare.
After a painful period, the bear hunter wife began to carry the burden strongly. During the day, he went to the depths of the valley with other women and elderly people to gather food, and at night he quietly carried out household chores and cared for the wounded. I hope that my husband and son, who are seriously injured, will wake up sooner.
But three days have passed, and the patriarch Chi Fengyan has already begun to personally lead the team out of the valley to hunt. Bear Hunt and Bear Hunt still show no signs of waking up.
The clan elder came to the bear hunter's house in the morning to diagnose the father and son, and after closing his eyes and reciting words for a long time, he left tremblingly. Didn't say anything.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
