Chapter 3 Danger Strikes
After more than ten steps, they came to a flat field that was a little more open. At this time, the sun was about to set, and the herbs that had been drying for a day were even a little hot, and the faint smell of herbs was floating around.
A few friends didn't care about it, but they quickly finished the dotting, and all of them were put into a turf pocket, and then carried to the cave before, and then they all exhaled and wiped their foreheads.
"Alright, you guys go about your business." Yana took the last straw bag and said to the others.
"That's good." Hearing this, Yarrow was also happy, so he ran out with him, ready to continue practicing his stick technique. But at this time, there were several figures in the distance, walking slowly towards the tribe.
"Uncle Tuoka, you're back." Seeing this, Yarrow still temporarily put down his plans and greeted him.
"Hehe, you kid is positive, don't really go out to participate in the hunt when the time comes, be weak." At the front, the man known as Tokara had a smile on his face.
"Uncle, I'm practicing." Yarrow lifted his arm and flicked the stick a few times.
At this time, Amanda had already followed. Those people all held a few prey in their hands, and some of the prey even kept writhing their bodies, but they couldn't break free at all.
Then Tuokara took a few people directly to a stone cave and locked up all the prey.
"By the way, I'll go meet the patriarch first." At this time, Tuokara's face was grim, and several people were separated. A few children were puzzled, but none of them followed.
At this time, the sky was already darker, and the tribesmen were doing their own duties, and Tokara quickly found the old patriarch.
At this time, Kerman looked at the sky with low eyes, and the dim sky made his cloudy eyes a little blurred. It has been more than ten years since he took over Roy's position, but the tribesmen have dropped from more than 50 people to 38 now.
He tried, really tried.
With the human body, it is too difficult to survive in this vast primeval forest. Although they are the only race with intelligence in this forest, they can't make up for their physical weakness at all.
They don't have strong bodies, they don't have sharp claws, and they don't have extraordinary reflexes.
"Roy, you have given us wisdom, but why did you throw us into such a bloody place?"
Dada!
The slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded in his ears, and then Tuokara appeared in front of his eyes.
"Tuokara, what's wrong?" The old patriarch's eyes were grim, but he could see some worried looks on Tokala's face.
"Old Patriarch..."Tuokara sighed and sat down next to the old patriarch: "Maybe that guy is coming out again."
"That guy..."The old patriarch, who was already in a melancholy mood, trembled in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the legend left by the elders: "What's the matter?"
"The prey in the forest is restless, although our harvest this time is not small, but more because those prey are already exhausted, they are on the run!"
"Run..."
Escape from what?
Hum!
In the forest, a monstrous roar suddenly came, and even from a distance, they could hear what it was.
The tooth-toothed tiger, a carnivore several times larger than humans, with its sharp claws and sharp fangs, has made it almost the evolutionary overlord of the planet. The overwhelming strength and speed of the wind would not have been able to survive here at all if it weren't for the sheer size of its body that made it difficult for it to let go of its hands and feet in the forest.
But is it really just a toothed tiger?
"Come into the cave," the old patriarch hurriedly commanded, waving his cane, while shouting in one direction: "Raise the fire quickly."
"Yes." In the direction the old patriarch was looking, a middle-aged man had already started construction, and with the rapid collision of sparks, the sparks flew rapidly, and soon ignited a bunch of dry grass that he had placed next to him, and then threw it into the pile of wood.
Like the creatures on Earth, these creatures that have not yet evolved intelligence are afraid of fire, and this is the only way they can survive in the dark night of this primeval forest. However, in addition to the direction called by the old patriarch, four piles of flames were also lit in the other three places at the same time.
Whoa!
Hum!
The roar rang out again, but this time, accompanied by the scream of the toothed tiger, there was an even more piercing sound that pierced almost everyone's eardrums.
Then, with a strong wind blowing, in the sky, a huge bird, actually grabbing a toothed tiger, flew over the tribe. The giant bird's body was several times larger than the toothed tiger, and Amanda, who was standing underneath, could even clearly look at the huge claws and the toothed tiger that was still struggling in pain.
"Ahhhh In the cave, at a glance, they saw the giant bird galloping by, but everyone's hearts were suddenly cold to the soles of their feet, and then their feet were unstable: "Akuma is back, we are finished..."
"Old patriarch?"
At this time, the other people who came to this cave with the old patriarch couldn't help but be a little worried, and they unconsciously remembered the myths and legends handed down by the elders.
At the end of the Endless Sea of Refining, there lives an existence of the same level as the god Roy, and that is Akuma, but compared to the god Roy, Akuma is a symbol of absolute evil.
Every time it comes, countless living beings will be plundered, and countless tribes will be completely wiped out in the face of this disaster. In front of Akuma's eyes, any effort would be futile, and those who could get them through the crisis could only hide in the corner, waiting for Akuma's anger to disappear, or...
"Calm down, although I don't know how long it will rage this time, but with that tooth and tooth tiger stuffed between the teeth, at least we will be safe for the time being." The old patriarch thought for a while, and finally stood up tremblingly, he glanced at everyone, and said.
Although there is no basis, everyone else is also a little at ease.
At this time, the four people who started the fire had also returned, and their faces couldn't help but be a little worried.
The sun outside had also completely set, but the flames of the fire in a few places made the surroundings clear, and the old patriarch looked directly at Tokara, who had been beside him all along.
"Alas, Tokara, how much food do we have in store?"
"If you save a little, you can only last for seven or eight days at most." Tokara was obviously still a little worried, as the hunter of the tribe, he knew the situation of the tribe's food storage.
"That's fine, but we'll have to transfer." With a sigh, the old patriarch made up his mind. Naturally, they waited here to die, and they couldn't have prayed all the time so that Akuma wouldn't find them.
They had to find a place to hide, as they had used to dodge from the evil bird.
