Chapter 4: Returning Home

"So, I took my war pet Hulk, all the way under the guidance of Bass, and found it!"

Speaking of this, Green whistled with his fingers, and a large bird swooped down from the sky, bringing a gust of wind, and it turned out to be a bald eagle with a pair of golden pupils.

After listening to Green's story, Red rubbed Bass's head vigorously with his big hands, and Bass's eye was scratched by the saber-toothed tiger during the last hunt for the saber-toothed tiger, and there were several wounds on his body, and he was constantly bleeding at this time.

"Thank you, my old fellow, Buzz, for being the savior of our family!" Red emotionally pressed his head to Buzz's face, in exchange for a lick from Buzz's big tongue.

Green on the side reminded: "Red, let's hurry back to the tribe, Mary is about to give birth!"

Speaking of this, Green suddenly reacted, "Hey, wasn't Mary only six months pregnant when she came, and why is this going to be born?"

Red and Mary were also crying and laughing, "I'll explain to you when I go back, in fact, we don't know what's going on?"

Green carried his mother's corpse, and Red carried Mary.

Luckily, Buzz had stopped the bleeding and was able to limp alongside him, and three people, a wolf, and oh, a golden-eyed eagle set out on the journey back to the tribe.

As they stumbled out of the jungle, the pouring rain finally stopped.

After the rain, the sky was clear, the dark clouds had dispersed, and another round of scorching sun hung high in the sky.

It is now a bright half year, in which there is always only day and no night.

There is always a sun hanging high in the sky at any given time, and dark clouds can only be obscured for a while when it is cloudy and rainy.

And when the bright half a year passes, it is the dark half a year.

The half year of the eternal night is naturally an eternal night, and only the bright moon and twinkling stars will hang in the sky.

And whenever the dark days and the bright days meet, it is the New Year of the Terran tribes, and it is also the most important festival of the year, and it has continued to be so for thousands of years.

Walking past the last few sparse trees, it suddenly became clear that in front of the three of them was an endless green prairie full of life.

The weeds on the grassland grew so luxuriantly that they were almost as tall as a man's waist.

It seems that the heavy rain has also affected the grassland, the grass blades are full of crystal water droplets, and the air is full of fresh grass after the rain.

Smelling the familiar smell, Bass's spirit was much better, as if even the injuries on his body had been lightened.

The three of them walked into the vast grassland sea and walked in the direction of the sun.

In this world, the most amazing thing is that the position of the sun is eternal, and it is always high in the eastern sky.

As long as you see the sun, you will find the right direction and will not get lost.

In the same way, at night, the moon will always hang in the western sky and will never change.

After they were born, they saw such a scene, and the legends of the tribe for generations were also like this, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.

The Wolf tribe was three days away in the direction of the sun, and two large rivers were crossed in between.

Of course, it is a big river, but in fact, it is just a description of its width, the river is not deep, and the shallowest place can be completely waded through.

As the best hunters of the tribe, these terrains and features of the prairie are all contained in the heads of Red and Green, and they will never be mistaken and forgotten.

After walking exhausted for three days and three nights, they crossed the second great river, and finally saw a tall wooden wall suddenly appearing on the grassland.

The tall walls were three meters high, that is, the height of two people, and the primitive barbarians did not yet have the concept of a unit of measurement, they were more accustomed to expressing it in concrete objects.

The tall wall enclosed a large camp, three or four miles in circumference.

There are two gates in the wall, east and west, which are open during the day and close when dark.

The two gates are made of dozens of logs the thickness of one person in the jungle, cut and bundled, and two layers of horizontal and vertical logs are firmly tied together, which is extremely heavy, and it takes several big men to push it at the same time.

There are also several buffalo skins handed down from ancestors on the gate, which are said to be fireproof, and I don't know where they got them, and there are no such animals as buffalo in the grasslands for hundreds of miles.

These buffalo skins were treasures that no other tribe had, like the Panser tribe, and their gates were bare.

On both sides of the gate, as well as at the four corners of the camp, there were arrow towers that were much higher than the wall, on which tribal warriors with bows and arrows were stationed throughout the day.

So when the three of them saw the camp, the lookout post on the arrow tower also saw them, and a long horn sounded, which was the sound of a welcome home, indicating that someone had returned.

Before the three of them could get close to the gate, hundreds of men, women, and children had already poured out of the camp, followed by dozens of Steppenwolves of various sizes, all of which were tamed by the warriors of the tribe.

Since the Wolf tribe is named after wolves, their best companion is naturally Steppenwolf.

When all the men in the tribe reach adulthood, they will go out on their own, go to the grasslands to catch a steppenwolf and come back, and domesticate them to be their war pets.

Of course, it is very difficult to capture Steppenwolf, the success rate is not high, many people return empty-handed, and many people even have to take their lives.

Only tribal warriors who successfully domesticate a war pet are eligible to compete for the position of tribal chief, and they will also become very prominent and respected in the tribe, with the most affordable benefit being that they are more popular when looking for a mate.

At the forefront were several elders and witch doctors of the tribe, who were the most senior and prestigious people in the tribe.

Seeing their own people, the vigilant hearts of the three of them were truly let go, and the tense string was relaxed.

Both Red and Green fell to their knees, Red gently lowered Mary to the ground, and Green gently lowered his mother's body to the ground.

The elders and the clansmen had been in a cheerful mood to welcome their patriarch home, but they saw such a scene.

Seeing the stiff body of Red's mother lying motionless on the ground, and the loud weeping of Red, Green, and Mary, the elders hurried forward.

All the clansmen also put away their smiles, and silently surrounded them.

The elders and the witch doctor approached, and the witch doctor crouched down next to his mother's corpse, tried his breath, shook his head at the elders, and then knelt beside the corpse, and whispered a spell that only the witch doctor could understand.

This is also a tribal tradition, after death, a witch doctor must recite a mantra for him, so that he can be truly liberated, and only then can he leave this world safely and return to nature.

The elders inquired about what had happened, and Red gave a detailed report to the elders about what had happened.

Including how Shet ambushed outside the altar, how his mother blocked the fatal blow for him, how Green and Buzz arrived in time, killed the Panther tribe, drove Shet and his war pet, and so on.
