Chapter 22: The Stone of Life

The Great Elder was unspeakably silent.

"Gun ...... like this"

"That weapon is called Thunder, it was handed down from our ancestors and has been around for more than seventy years."

"Well, I don't care if it's thunder or lightning, or magma, or fire. What I want to say is, such a gun, is there anything else? ”

The Great Elder glanced at Huang Quan deeply and said, "There are two more, but one of them has no bullets. ”

"Show me."

The Grand Elder pulled out another box from the box, which contained a single-barreled rifle and a revolver.

Huang Quan took the rifle in his hand, disassembled it a few times, and then skillfully loaded it back. This dismantling and assembly, the Great Elder who couldn't stop it was shocked, for fear that he would break any part.

THIS RIFLE IS ALSO MADE IN THE SAME THICK AND BULKY STYLE, WITH A CALIBER OF MORE THAN 20MM, AND IT WILL BE COMPLETELY CLASSIFIED INTO THE CATEGORY OF MACHINE GUNS BEFORE HUMANS EMBARK ON THE JOURNEY OF THE STARS. Looking at the traces of the bullet slot, the bullet it uses is also larger than an ordinary machine cannonball.

However, the structure of the gun is still a classic bolt-action rifle, and the design is very primitive in the old human era.

Even with such a design, the machining accuracy of the parts is not very good, and there are traces of hand polishing on it. It shows that the mechanical process is not up to par and requires manual correction of the parts.

But the metal used in the barrel of this rifle is something that Huang Quan has never seen before, and I don't know what characteristics it has.

Putting down the rifle, Huang Quan picked up the revolver again and looked at it.

It is inevitable that the pistol is two circles larger than the famous Desert Eagle of the old human era. However, the pistol still had bullets, at least five rounds in the revolver. In addition, it was not in the gun magazine, but in the Great Elder's carry-on backpack.

Huang Quan understood the inner meaning, this was originally to guard against himself.

He didn't say anything, returned the pistol and rifle, and asked, "Where is the destination of this migration?" ”

The Grand Elder took out a map and laid it out on the table. Faced with this map drawn on animal skin, Rao is Huangquan had already seen countless complex high-precision military maps, and was also dazzled by the various symbols and colors on them.

The Great Elder explained for a long time before Huang Quan understood the meaning of those symbols.

Some of them represent an exceptionally tall ancient tree, presumably used as a landmark, and some are even the lair of some kind of beast, which presumably means danger. In addition, the ups and downs of the terrain are all distinguished by color.

There are also star maps on the map, which are used to distinguish directions when necessary. In this rainforest, where there are often areas where the magnetic field is disturbed, the compass that follows the direction of the natural magnetic field becomes useless.

On the map, four striking markers are drawn. These are the Shinjuku campsites to choose from.

These camps have been gradually explored by the hunters of the settlement over the past few years. They have their own characteristics, some are safe, some are close to resource areas and hunting grounds, and some are simply the farthest away, with no signs of cannibal activity. Due to the distance from the settlement, there are still many areas that have not been explored.

This time, the Great Elder determined that the Shinjuku camp was the farthest place, and there was no way to do it, as the ogres continued to encroach on their living space, so they could only stay away as much as possible.

Huang Quan looked at the map for a long time, this was the first time he observed the world from a broader perspective, and the more he looked at it, the more his heart was shaken.

He already knew that this settlement was built on the wreckage of a starship, but after a few days of careful observation, Huang Quan was a little disappointed to find that this was only a part of the huge hull, and there was no brain and all kinds of recorders that he wanted most.

And now, from the Great Elder's description of the discovered terrain, Huang Quan deduced that those so-called suitable campsites were all spaceship wrecks!

Regardless of why the Lost People chose the settlement this way, for him, it was another new clue to explore this 10,000-year-old fog.

Huang Quan looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that the new camp was not far from the place where his spaceship crashed, and there was still the wreckage of the spaceship crash nearby, could it have something to do with him?

But Huang Quan only vaguely remembered that he had climbed out of a mountain or a similar passage, at that time he was confused, all the devices in his body were dormant, and he could not distinguish and remember the height and length at all, and on the ground from the yin side of the mountain to the yang side, it was possible to spend a few days, and then he fell into a coma, and it was impossible to guess what direction and how far he walked with him.

The most deceptive thing about the map in front of me is that it has no scale and is extremely individualistic, and I am afraid that only the Great Elder himself can understand it.

Huang Quan studied for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how far he was from the new settlement, so he had to ask, "How many days do you have to walk on the road?" ”

"If you don't encounter a man-eater head-on, then you need to walk for ten days. We were carrying things and children and women, and we walked more slowly. ”

Moreover, with so many people gathered together to act, even if there are no cannibals, they must be prepared for all kinds of dangers in the rainforest, and for the distance that hunters and samurai can reach in an instant, the tribesmen who have no combat power may come to the moat.

Huang Quan frowned slightly: "It doesn't seem to have solved the fundamental problem, it's too close, and the cannibals will find it as soon as possible." Why not move closer to the shelter? ”

The Great Elder smiled bitterly, "There are countless large tribes of man-eaters gathered in the area of the Sanctuary, so the closer you get, the more dangerous it becomes. Within a three-day journey around the shelter, it was a complete death zone. ”

"And that kind of thing."

"In addition, the Stone of Life must also be planted as soon as possible, without the protection of the Stone of Life, we will not be able to support it for long."

This is also the most difficult place for Huangquan to figure out.

The whole forest seemed to be full of malice, and even he felt a little uncomfortable after staying for a long time. He has experienced countless difficult and harsh terrain environments, and he has never encountered such a situation.

"I want to see the Life Stone." Huang Quan looked up and finally said the most important sentence.

"Yes." The Great Elder only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"I thought you'd say no."

"What's the use of refusal? You want to see it, just kill us, won't you be able to see it? "The Great Elder said it bluntly.

"Also, I originally thought that killing the people who stood in the way was the easiest way to do it." Huang Quan is very honest, and the most important reason is that a small primitive settlement is not worth the trouble of lying.

The Great Elder glanced at Huang Quan deeply and said, "Then come with me, the Life Stone is precious, but it is not rare, and its use is far less than ordinary people think. It is indispensable to settlements, but it is of little value other than that. ”

Huang Quan followed the Great Elder all the way down, and finally came to an underground space.

It's a semi-natural cave with countless twisted roots hanging from the walls. Seeing the texture and orientation of these roots, Huang Quan knew that it was the underground part of the trees with straight branches on the outskirts of the camp.

In the center of the cave, all the roots and tendrils of the trees converge in one place, intertwining to form a natural pedestal. There was a small tree growing on the pedestal, and its roots were inserted directly into the roots of the big trees.

In the center of the small tree, a strange crystal is inlaid with it. It is the size of an arm, and the exposed part is cut into neat prismatic shapes that emit a soft, faint glow.

Huang Quan stretched out his hand, bathed in the light like flowing water, and carefully experienced.

"It's a holy glow, and it's not a holy glow." After a moment, Huang Quan had a judgment.

The light of the Life Stone was soft and warm, not as fiery and violent as the Holy Radiance. But on the other hand, it is also far less powerful than the true Divine Radiance.

Such a large piece of the Stone of Life, if it was replaced by the Stone of Divine Radiance, even Huang Quan could only barely hold it, and he couldn't hold it for too long. If you change to an ordinary person, even if you only get close to a certain range of the Radiant Stone, you will die of pain in a few days.

And looking at the straight prismatic lines of the crystal, Huang Quan knew that this was an artificial creation, and most of its power came from the original Divine Radiance Stone.

Huang Quan closed his eyes and sensed the effect of the Life Stone's light on his body. After a while, he opened his eyes and sighed, unable to hide his disappointment.
