I was stunned when I heard Cao Yuan's statement, and the little anger in my heart gradually lowered, frowning at her and not speaking, quietly waiting for her to follow.

"Are you supposed to be...... Want to follow it to find water, right? ”

At this time, Lin Qing asked thoughtfully, seeing that I was still puzzled, so he explained to me that this is the simplest and most direct way to survive in the wild, if you are lost in the wild and can't find a water source, then you might as well follow the hoof prints of the animal, and in the end, you can find a water source!

Because animals are much more gifted than humans in finding water, people can't find water, but they can certainly find someone to drink. In fact, humans in ancient times also had this ability, but unfortunately with the gradual evolution, this ability has degraded and disappeared.

I just suddenly, I couldn't help but look at Cao Yuan's girl more, I can't see, this girl's mind is quite delicate, the most important thing for us at the moment is to find the water source, otherwise it won't last a few days, and it's nonsense to live nothing, I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful in such an urgent situation just now, she actually knew how to let go of the mouth, and then followed the dire wolf to find the water source we need.

Who knows, Cao Yuan actually shook his head, and then said: "Finding a water source is only one of them, and the most important reason to let go of that dire wolf is that that dire wolf reminds me of a historical legend, a historical legend about the specific location of the old channel of the Peacock River!" ”

As soon as Cao Yuan said this, even Tsing Yi, who had always been indifferent, was attracted, so he sat down and asked about the situation in detail.

As long as you find the ancient channel of the Peacock River, you will take the first step to find the fat man!!

Cao Yuan didn't hide it, and slowly told us a very obscure historical story, not to mention the history books, even if it is not recorded in the official history, I, a person who thinks I am proficient in history, are stunned when I hear it.

Where do you start?

Probably has to start with the Qin Dynasty.

As mentioned earlier, when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries of the Central Plains, there was a very powerful country in the Western Regions - Yueshi!

However, at that time, the most powerful country in the Western Regions was not only the Yue Clan, but also another country that worshiped the wolf totem - Wusun!

The two countries are engaged in one annexation war after another in the Western Regions......

Strictly speaking, Wusun at that time could not be called a complete country, but a large primitive nomadic tribe, in today's terms, the prototype of the country. However, due to conventional reasons, for thousands of years, people have called the 36 countries in the Western Regions, including Wusun, a country, so Wusun is a country. At that time, Wusun was not far away from us, and it was mainly active in the Ili River valley of today's Xinjiang!

One is a backward primitive nomadic tribe, and the other has formed a country, needless to say, the consequences of the war between the Yueshi and Wusun must have been lost, and the loss was completely clean, even the kind that even the pants were lost.

This war of extermination was launched by the Yue clan in 177 AD, and the specific scale of this war is not recorded in the history books, and no one can say clearly that this war lasted until the year of the monkey, but we can be sure that after a fierce battle, the Wusun Kingdom was defeated under the iron hooves of the Yue Clan, and even the Wusun King Nan Dou Mi was killed by the Yue Clan, and the country was almost wiped out.

However, it is also the endless Wusun, in such a catastrophe, Wusun escaped a very important person, this person is the generation of Tianjiao who was later called Wusun Country - Hunting Arrogance.

At that time, the hunting arrogance was still in infancy, and it was brought out by an old man named Bu Qilinghou.

In order to get rid of the Yue's pursuers, the Marquis of Bu Jiao Ling ran away on the horse for a whole day and a night, and when it was basically safe, the cry of the Hunt Jiao was gone, and the Marquis of Bu Lingling knew that the Hunt Jiao was hungry, and then he put down the Hunt Jiao Mi to find food, who knew that the scene he saw when he came back almost scared him to death - an incomparably majestic she-wolf was actually feeding the Lie Jiao Mi milk!!

Wusun is a tribe that worships the wolf totem, hunting arrogant in a desperate situation by a mouthful of milk from the she-wolf to revive it, so that Bu Linghou was almost unmoved, a vigorous shouting hunting arrogance is Wusun's "son of destiny", if it is not a person who bears the mandate of heaven, how can there be a she-wolf feeding him milk to save his life?

But in any case, the hunt Jiaomi finally survived, Bu Linghou took the hunt Jiaomi to the Huns, and simply took refuge in the Huns, and the Huns were picked up all day and night to help them restore the country of Wusun, but unfortunately because of the complex historical environment at that time, the Huns did not help them, until, Mao Dun Shan Yu appeared!

As I said earlier, Mao Dun Shan Yu once served as a hostage in the Yue Clan, and was almost killed by the Yue Clan, and he had long hated the Yue Clan's hated teeth.

As I said before, the Yueshi Kingdom was destroyed, the king's skull was made into a wine cup, and the Yueshi people were driven to the west, and finally ran to Kazakhstan to survive.

At that time, the commander who represented Mao Dunshan in the Annihilation Moon Clan was arrogant!

It is said that when Hunting Jiaomi expelled the Yue Clan, he hit as far as the border of Loulan and the Peacock River!

At that time, in order to commemorate his brilliant achievements in this battle, he released the she-wolf that had fed him by the Peacock River, so that the great wolf god who had saved him would remember his glory.

After this battle, Hunter Jiaomi embarked on the road of rise and established the most powerful Wusun Kingdom among the 36 countries in the Western Regions!!

Cao Yuan suspects that the dire wolves we just met may be the descendants of the wolf that saved the hunting arrogant, of course, what kind of wolf is the wolf that saved the hunting arrogant is now impossible to test, anyway, the history of Wusun Kingdom is trying its best to render the majesty of this wolf, so Cao Yuan has always thought that the wolf who saved the hunting arrogant is a dire wolf, and its descendants have always inhabited the Peacock River until now......

If all this speculation is true, then following the dire wolf we can not only find the water source, but also find the ancient battlefield of the last battle of the Yue Clan, which broke out on the banks of the Peacock River, as long as the ancient battlefield is found, it is equivalent to finding the ancient river channel of the Peacock River.

Even, the water source that may allow those dire wolves to survive is the ancient river channel of the Peacock River!!

I have to say that Cao Yuan's speculation is very bold, but it is not out of bounds, history is even more exciting than the TV series, and it is not strange that anything happens, I can't say that the batch of dire wolves we encounter now are the descendants of the wolf who saved the arrogant hunt in the first place!

If that's the case, then the dire wolf is worth it!

Either way, we're going to have to follow that dire wolf for a walk.

We just did it, and we set off.

The weight of the dire wolf is too large, so there are no footprints left when running, and a few of us followed its footprints, and ran for more than ten miles in the dense forest before finally coming to a hill that is not too big.

At the foot of the mountain, there happens to be a wolf's den!

That was the end of the dire wolf's footsteps, apparently fleeing back to the cave.

This wolf's den was built very large, and we decided to go to the wolf's den to see it first, so we endured the smell of the wolf's den and got into it.

Who knows, I didn't go far in the wolf's den, but I heard Yi Shiting, who was walking at the back, suddenly exclaimed: "Xiaotian, look at the wall on the left side of this wolf's den!" ”

I was stunned, but I couldn't help but stop, and raised my hand to wipe the wall on the left side of the cave.

The walls were wet, slippery, and seemed to be sticking to something......

Out of curiosity, I took out a flashlight and shone it, and it didn't matter, I was stunned - my hands were bright red, as if I had smeared blood!!

It's certainly not soil, and red clay doesn't have this color!

I thought of a possibility, turned my head and looked at Yi Shiting in disbelief: "This is ...... Cinnabar! ”

"Yes, Cinnabar!"

Yi Shiting exhaled a long breath and said with a wry smile: "Let's go forward...... It looks like there's an ancient tomb!! ”
