Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ancient Cat Beast

At night, the mountain breeze is gentle, and the torches make a hula sound.

The torch was invented by Baicao Wu, who discovered a kind of gum when he was trying to find a kind of leaf, and used the gum to combine it with sticks and vines to study this kind of torch that can burn for a long time.

With torches, the night is relatively safer, and many beasts will be expelled, which can be regarded as replacing some of the totem fire functions, making the team without totem fire safer.

Fifth Xuan was bored trying to communicate with the second generation of leaders, which was a new discovery of his: spiritual power.

He possessed a good and perceptible spiritual power, which allowed him to test the spiritual world of the second generation leader, a process that had been going on for five days, but with no results.

But it didn't matter to Fifth Gen, he was just looking for something to do for his boring days, even if it was to pass the time.

At this time, he was placed under a tall ancient tree, and the second generation leader lay beside him, and farther away was the third generation witch, and further away was the place where the hundred grass witches slept.

In addition to the mountain wind at night, the neighing of wild beasts can be heard from time to time, and it is not known whether they are fighting or looking for death.

Suddenly, Fifth Xuan felt a pair of eyes watching him, which felt very strange and startled him.

His spiritual senses had always been sharp, so he didn't think he was delusional, and he immediately looked around.

By the light of the torches, his gaze swept over the sleeping tribesmen, and no one was looking at him.

"Is it a beast? or a goblin?"

Fifth Xuan was a little frightened, he was a little afraid of ghosts in his previous life, and he didn't dare to put his feet out of the bed in the middle of the night.

"Wait, I don't have feet, I'm not human, I'm a totem, I'm a stone, what am I afraid of?"

The fifth Xuan, who suddenly reacted, shook off his fear and began to watch carefully.

This time, he didn't glance, but searched the area, just like everyone in his previous life came to find faults, carefully searching throughout the camp.

The feeling of being watched disappeared, but he did not give up and continued to search, but after looking for an hour, he found nothing, and the feeling of being watched disappeared.

"Strange, is it really a delusion?"

Fifth Xuan guessed in his heart, but he couldn't get the answer he wanted.

"It's not like I've been bored for too long and hallucinating...... Can the totem get psychotic?"

His brain circuitry is unique, and he begins to think crankily again.

After thinking for a while to no avail, he began to try to communicate with the second generation leader again, wanting to enter his spiritual world and awaken him.

"Huh?"

Fifth Gen felt the sensation of being watched again, this time more clearly, and felt that his presence was closer.

It's just that in the feelings, the presence that stares at him is also very careful, only looking at it with his peripheral vision, and maybe avoiding it occasionally, what a cautious guy.

Fifth Xuan gave up communicating with the spiritual world of the second generation leader and continued to search, but after a while, the feeling of being watched disappeared, which made him wonder.

After a few experiments, he generally understood that the guy who was concerned about himself would only pay attention to him when he tried to communicate with the spirit world of the second generation leader.

"It's a weird being, what is it doing this for? out of curiosity? Or does it want something?"

There was no answer to such a vacuum, and the fifth Xuan could only give up after thinking for a while, and began to try to communicate with the spiritual world of the second generation leader.

The feeling of being noticed continued, and Fifth Xuan stopped looking for it, this guy must be very good at concealment, and he couldn't find it at all.

It wasn't until sunrise that the feeling disappeared, but as the team moved forward, he still had the feeling of being noticed from time to time.

"It's amazing, so many people are moving forward together, you can still hide without being discovered, you can't be a ghost, right? ”

Fifth Xuan was surprised, looking left and right from time to time, but he couldn't find a target at all.

As he walked on this day, that night, a leaf falling from the sky caught his attention.

His gaze looked up, and the feeling of being noticed intensified.

"It's in the trees. ”

The fifth Xuan roared excitedly in the totem.

After a day of observation, he finally found its traces, how could he not be happy.

Fifth Xuan began to look closely, and finally saw a pair of dark pupils among the leaves.

"Ho ......"

The sound of intimidation coming from his throat was subtle, but still a vigilant tribesman woke up.

"Whoosh ......"

Two leaves fell from the tree, and the dark eyes disappeared between the scurrying branches.

"Feeling...... I don't have much attack power. ”

Fifth Xuan was slightly surprised, although he heard the threat, but the threat was too ...... Cute.

The voice reminded him of two pets he had in his previous life: Gangjier and Mozi.

Both of them are cats, and both are cute little female cats, one is active and the other is lazy.

"This is not the ancestor of cats. ”

Because he likes cats, he has checked some information, before the Han Dynasty, cats were not pets and had not been domesticated.

And in ancient times, there was an ancient cat beast with a longer body than today's cats, a longer tail, shorter feet, and a slightly different head, which was a low skull, which may have been for a more convenient bite.

Crucially, it is said that the brain of the archaeocatmon was larger and more developed than that of carnivores of the same period, which means that it may have been more intelligent.

Scientists even speculate that the ancestors of many other animals, including bears, weasels, raccoons, foxes, and American wolves, may well have been animals.

"Wait, if the bear is his offspring, then I've seen the bear, is it ...... Endangered animals. ”

In primitive societies, there was no habit of protecting endangered animals, and primitive people may wish that all animals were endangered, so that they could survive better.

But Fifth Xuan was still glad to have encountered such an animal that might be on the verge of extinction, especially since it could also be a cat.

"It's a pity that I was scared away, and I don't know if I will come tomorrow. ”

In his understanding, the ancient cat beast is not a ferocious beast, it lives on small animals, it can't even roar, and its claws can be contracted like pet cats and dogs in later generations.

Such an animal can simply be a pet by nature, but compared to a dog, primitive society has a cat...... That's a money-losing thing.

"But why is it attracted to my spiritual powers, and why does it make a vigilant voice when I look at it?"

This is something that the fifth mystery does not understand.

The next day, the feeling of being noticed reappeared, which meant that the ancient cat beast did not give up observing him because of yesterday's startled away.

This time, Fifth Xuan began to pay attention to the movement on the tree, and sure enough, he saw this ancient cat beast.

It was an ancient cat beast with black hair, dark eyes, and a larger size, which looked like a black panther.

It jumps through the woods without making a sound, and walks much like the cats of later generations, except that its head is a little flat, and it looks ferocious.

"It seems that even cats are very ferocious in this era. Fifth Xuan sighed in his heart.
