Chapter 276: The Forbidden Zone of Life

Who's wasting time? Who's squandering their time? Who is blurring the past? Who is afraid of the future? Therefore, heaven and earth are but a shaky journey, and day and night are but the gateway to time......

-- Excerpt from "Bai Qi's Quotations" This secret is not only unsolvable, over the years, whether it is the elders of the tribe or the first-class hunters, including many high-ranking hunters from outside, they have believed that there should be a treasure trove under this stone platform.

This understanding is not too much deviation, the stone platform will rise and fall from time to time, this is not mysterious, isn't it just a mechanism setting, this can't hide from those high-level hunters. However, every time the food on the stone platform rises, someone must put it on it, and everyone thinks so.

Judging from the architectural style of the stone platform, it is exactly the same as the architectural style (pig) (pig) (island zhuzhudao.com) (novel) of the ruins found by everyone, which means that there is not only a relic below, but also automatic equipment handed down from ancient times, or what is even more surprising is that there are people from ancient times who have survived to the present.

"Our tribe united several nearby tribes, organized all the people, and began to excavate this area...... My dad hadn't even been born yet......"

In fact, every time the rabbit cub passes by this stone pile, he can't help but stay here for half a day, from the initial curiosity to the inexplicable fear, and then the last worship.

The joint excavation operation of the tribes was a failure, not because there was no way to dig down, but because there was an accident in the middle of the way.

Even though the rabbit had heard it, the story clearly made him a little uneasy and even frightened when he thought about it, but he finally had the courage to tell it clearly. Pointing around the scavenger area, his fingers formed a large circle, encompassing the swamps in the distance.

"Before, there were no swampy areas on this great plain, except for the road, everything else was a later ......"

Xiao Ke was extremely surprised, how could this be possible, the appearance of a swamp takes a long time to form, even if according to the rabbit cub, this is what happened when his father's father was still young, and it is only a few decades now, they can't find a woman to inherit the family until the year before they die, it doesn't make sense.

"Really, that's why every tribe in the vicinity thinks it's a miracle, it's God's will, these scavengers are God's people, and since then, no one dares to kill the scavengers on the plains, and every once in a while someone will send some food to worship them."

"What kind of food to deliver?"

Although he couldn't suppress his curiosity about the events of the joint excavation, Shook couldn't help but ask about food.

"What else could there be, someone in the tribe who made a big mistake, or a prisoner of war between the tribes."

There was silence for a few seconds, and the tribe's practices were something that no one could interfere with, unless he controlled the tribe or controlled the plain. However, there must be a big secret in this area of the scavenging beast, and Xiao Ke believes that if what the rabbit cub says is not biased, there should indeed be an underground space underneath.

"Tell me what happened back then?"

Joint operations are rare for tribes, and they are still very rare. There is no union between the tribes, some are annexation, the big ones annex the small, the small ones annex the smaller ones, and either they grow in the annexation or they perish in the annexation.

But that exception, how many exceptions, it is said to be the only joint tribal action recorded on the continent for hundreds of years. Since then, for any reason, no tribe has been able to lay down their arms and do something together, no more.

"At that time, it was densely packed with people, there were bonfires everywhere, and for the first time there was no night on the plain......"

There was great strength in numbers, and the elders of several tribes had spent the night discussing and supervising the work of their tribesmen, and in a few days they had dug a very large pit around the edge of the boulder, so deep that the rabbit cub had made a gesture according to the story he had heard, and exceeded his height.

There is indeed something underneath, and no one knows what it is, because it hasn't been dug up yet, and all you know is that it can't be dug anymore.

"You never dreamed of what was down here?"

The rabbit cub is also a little frustrated, if this ruin can be opened, the tribe will definitely get a harvest that can dominate the entire plain, and even become a city.

After digging to a certain depth, everyone found that there was no way to dig anymore, and below was an unusually hard stone, so hard that no one could deal with it.

Magic is the first choice, the first and second level hunters stand on the edge of the pit, all kinds of magic are released downward, but the best result is to splash a few pieces of rubble, trying to penetrate the different stone layer from the top but to no avail.

If magic doesn't work, use manpower, the tribal elders wave their hands, the young and strong hunters go forward and work tirelessly, and then it is many days of continuous "ping pong".

With little success, the people were losing more and more confidence, and conflicts between the tribes began to erupt, and clashes were frequent until the morning of that day.

It was a group of women from the tribe, they were going to fetch water for cooking, and the boulders were still so far away from the water source, and dozens of women were carrying various tools to accompany them.

It was still very early, and the sky in the distance was only cloudy, and the sight was not very good, and the visibility was not high, at most you could see less than ten meters away.

The women were chattering, and the low status was another thing, and it didn't hinder everyone's mood at this moment.

Then, a woman looked at the hazy figure in front of her and smiled in surprise.

"What are they doing here, coming back from outside so early?"

The men of the tribe rarely get up early, they are too tired during the day, so in the morning they are used to wait until the women have done everything before getting up to eat, hunting is a special case, everyone knows.

As soon as the woman said this, the other women looked up, and sure enough, a large group of people in the fog in front of them were slowly walking this way. I don't know who it was, but one of the women suddenly said a word, which made all the women change color at once.

"Didn't they all fall asleep when we came out?"

The women of the tribe are all men, except for babies and children, but this joint action naturally does not bring babies and children out, and there are old and weak people who remain in the tribe and are responsible for guarding.

That is to say, every woman present had been with her man the night before, and besides, the time they had taken to get up and get to where they are now is for a short time, and there is no reason for the men to sneak up and run to the front and then turn back, for the tribe, romantic, what kind of shit is that......

"Enemy attack!"

For hundreds of years, wars between tribes have never stopped, and women have also gone to war, when the men of their tribe are almost dead and wounded, so women are not ignorant of war, let alone those who have been taken prisoner or captured as prisoners, they are more sensitive.

The high-pitched, successive "enemy attacks" sounded, and the tribe bombed the camp at once.

This bombed camp did not mean that the people of the tribe fled in a panic, but with the sound of the tribal elders, all the men rushed out of the temporary shelter, and the atmosphere of battle was enveloped in the land.

The first-level hunters who flew into the sky, the second-level hunters who flashed the protective shield, and the low-level hunters who flew out in a line with spears and short blades.

It was indeed an enemy attack, but the enemy was not people, but a large group of scavengers, on all sides, no one knew where so many scavengers came from, why didn't the hunters who were in charge of patrolling the day before find their traces?

The battle began immediately.

In the beginning, it was the tribe that had the upper hand, and all kinds of magic fell from the sky, beating the scavengers one by one and unable to resist. The scavenger needs to be close to the hunter to attack, which is the biggest advantage of the tribe, magic is a long-range attack, and it is a great advantage to take advantage of it, the hunters are happy to fight, and as the battle progresses, everyone is even more and more relaxed.

The carcasses of the scavengers slowly piled up around the large tribal group, getting taller and taller. From morning to noon, not a single scavenger could break into the defensive circle, but the hunters were tired, and their firepower began to weaken and become thin.

Mana is limited, even if the tribal elders have arranged the rotation measures from the beginning, which is an experience cultivated in the war, and it is not surprising. But even so, there are fewer and fewer first-level hunters flying in the sky, and each of the second-level hunters and low-level hunters have rotated at least three times.

It would take time for the mana to recover, and of course Shook knew it, and he estimated that even if it was himself, under this kind of uninterrupted casting, it would only last for a few hours at most.

"Worse is yet to come......"

The number of scavengers has not decreased, and the defense ring is still impassable. After the power of the magic weakened, the scavenging beast, which used to only require one fireball spell to solve, now took two or three fireball spells to fall to the ground, and some people began to panic.

War is like this, once someone starts to panic, this emotion will quickly sweep through the individual, like a virulent infectious disease spread around, which is why war needs warlords.

Just as the elders of the tribe were desperately trying to find a way to boost morale, the boulder pile at the heart of the tribe's defense circle opened silently, which was the arrival of a nightmare.

The stone platform in the boulder pile did not rise this time, and a certain first-class hunter flying in the sky saw that the location of the stone before was a hole this time, and from that hole, a steady stream of scavengers were crawling out, starting from the open boulder pile to attack all targets with their backs to this side.

"Damn, this is the way to play in the center!"

Xiao Ke was taken aback, his book was not read in vain when he was with Xiao Gou, this was a combat strategy of the human beings on the earth, and he knew it as soon as he heard it.
