Chapter 493: Tribal Crisis (Reward and Change)

She suspected that the primitive tribes in this oasis were in a life-and-death crisis.

Sure enough, things were exactly what she thought.

According to the old priest, the oasis was not only so large, but the spring in the middle of the oasis was not in the shape of a crescent moon, but in the shape of a full moon, and the water was more abundant.

And the oasis is not only big about this, in addition to their accidents, there are many other animals living in the oasis.

But I don't know when the desert began to gradually erode the oasis, the oasis they relied on for their survival was shrinking, the full moon spring gradually became the crescent moon spring, and many of the animals they used to be common to gradually disappeared, and now only a small part remains.

Therefore, when they hunt, they will also be more careful, and will never hunt pregnant animals, hoping to keep those animals.

However, such caution on the one hand led to a decrease in food for the tribesmen, and on the other hand, it did not prevent the decline of the oasis and the death of the animals.

And the gradual extinction of animals is also a sign of this grim matter, and their tribe living in this desert oasis is facing a major test of life and death.

Or stay here and wait until the day when the crescent moon spring also disappears, and the tribe will disappear too; Or try to get out of the oasis and seek outward, find the outside world, and survive in a larger world.

But either way, it's too hard for them.

Even just staying in the oasis is dangerous.

Because of the shrinking of the oasis, many animal races have died out, resulting in unknown monsters in the dark night not being able to catch enough food, so they need to hunt more oasis people.

In the past, the Oasis could also extinguish the candle for a little bit at night, but now, they have to keep the candle burning all night, and never let the candle go out.

But these candles are made of the sebum of the oasis animals.

Now that the number of oasis animals is decreasing, the consumption of candles is going to increase, and it will not last long.

Maybe they won't be able to wait for the day when the crescent moon spring disappears, and they will disappear one by one in the middle of the night because there are not enough candles.

Leaving the oasis is just as dangerous as staying in the oasis, if not more so than staying in the oasis.

Because in the oasis, you only have to worry about monsters at night, but in the desert, you have to worry about monsters during the day.

They had not sent out a team of explorers to try to find a passage between the oasis and the outside world, but they sent out more than two dozen people, and in the end, only one escaped alive.

And when he came back, he went crazy and didn't live long.

He became more afraid of the day than of the night, and in the middle of the night he burst into the night and disappeared without a trace.

And in the days he lived, he kept saying things like "terrible", "monster" and "run".

After this incident, they did not give up, and successively sent out two teams of ten people, but the final result was the same as the first team, and no one survived.

From then on, they no longer dared to send an exploration team to leave the oasis, so they could only stay in the oasis and wait for the final fate.

The oasis is full of dangers, and the desert outside the oasis makes them completely afraid to set foot in it, and these two high mountains block them in front of them, so that they really don't know how to make a way to survive.

It wasn't until Bai Yaoyao, an outsider, appeared, that he finally saw hope, since she could come here, there would definitely be a way to take them away.

"You see, you walked in the terrible desert day for four days, and slept in the desert night every night, and you were unscathed."

"And I didn't light a candle for you just now, and you didn't disappear in the dark, you must be the messenger sent by heaven to save us!"

The more the old priest spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost took Bai Xiaoxiao's hand in the hope that she would immediately lead his primitive people out of this oasis where there was no hope but despair.

However, Bai Xiaoyao just wanted to say that a bad old man was very bad, and she thought that they had lit a candle for her outside this broken house to guard against monsters in the night, but it turned out that there was no one at all, completely ignoring her life and death.

"I know you must blame me for deliberately not lighting a candle for you to test you, and this is indeed something we did wrong."

Bai Xiaoxiao...... Why do you have to admit your mistake first, so how can I blame you?

"But there's no way around it, we don't have any extra candles."

Bai Xiaoxiao...... I'm grass, so pathetic?

"And the result is not unexpected, you are indeed a messenger sent by heaven, even in the dark, no monster in the night dares to touch you."

Bai Xiaoxiao...... I feel like something strange is lit up inexplicably.

"Please, save my poor people."

Caught off guard, the old priest suddenly stood up, and then knelt in front of Bai Yaoyao.

Bai Yaoyao and the leader Apo were at a loss together.

"Oh, what are you doing, you get up quickly."

She couldn't stand the sadness of seeing the old man the most in her life, especially when the old man had to kneel for her, she almost wanted to kneel against the old priest.

And the leader Apo was obviously the first time to see their respected priest kneeling, and he was more shocked, later than Bai Yaoyao's action, Bai Yaoyao had already started to pull the old priest, so he joined the action and stretched out his hand to prepare to help.

"Poof, stop."

The old priest was very majestic, and as soon as this sentence came out, the leader didn't dare to move, but the expression on his face was extremely tangled.

Bai Xiaoxiao could only stand still in embarrassment.

The old priest knelt down and continued to say to Bai Yaoyao, "My old life is dead, and I should have returned to the sand. But these children ......"

The old priest's eyes were a little distant, as if he was still looking at the other tribesmen outside the door.

"They're still young, they're young, they've got a good life and a long enough life, and if there's a glimmer of hope, I hope they can survive and leave this place and go to a place where they don't have to worry about the candles going out when they sleep at night."

Bai Xiaoyao suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and an inexplicable emotion surged out, indescribable, but it made my heart heavy.

"Oracle, please, save them."

Bai Yaoyao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and wanted to say that she was not a divine envoy, and she didn't know how to leave this oasis, if it weren't for the branches, she might have died of thirst in the desert...... But looking at the old priest's eyes full of hope, she really couldn't speak.

In the end, the ghost sent the gods, and she couldn't think of anything she wanted to break, so she actually nodded and agreed!
