[065] Mutation
"Chief, where is Wu?" Shao Hao couldn't help but ask, he had seen Shen Nong and Xiong Sickle enter the cave together just now, but now only Xiong Sickle came out.
"The witch is still inside, you all move quickly and go dig the earth. Xiong Yao hurriedly urged: "Wu said, soak the soil with water, and then put it on the board cart and transport it in, and you can extinguish the fire." ”
"But chief, if the ancestral fire is extinguished, then what will our tribe do in the future? A clansman couldn't help but hesitate.
Xiong Yao was immediately stunned, yes! This ancestral fire is the fire that has been passed down by the Huangqiu tribe for several generations, if it is extinguished by them today, then the quasi-warriors in the tribe will no longer be able to become first-class warriors by branding the tribal totem, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to a tribe.
But Xiong Sickle quickly gritted his teeth and said, "No matter, put out the fire first, and keep Wu and our cave." ”
When many of the clansmen heard Xiong Yao's words, they immediately took action, and they all found all kinds of things that could dig up the soil to find soil nearby, while the other tribesmen ran to the ditch with wooden buckets to scoop water, scooped up a bucket and poured it directly on the grass, waiting for other clansmen to come and dig up the moist soil.
Xiong Yao naturally couldn't stand stupidly in place and didn't do anything in this situation, so he directly pushed up a cart parked outside the entrance of the cave, and then looked for the clansmen who were digging everywhere, and asked them to put the freshly dug soil on the cart.
After collecting all the dirt in the cart, Xiong Sickle directly took two wooden barrels full of water and poured them on the cart, and then quickly ran to push the second cart and scooped up the dirt everywhere.
......
"Damn, the fire is so fierce that throwing a shovel of dirt into it doesn't do anything. Looking at the ancestral fire that had not changed at all, Shen Nong couldn't help but say.
As Shen Nong kept digging with a bone shovel, the pit the size of a basketball had been dug by him to the length of a person, just enough for Shen Nong to lie in it.
The scorching heat permeated Shen Nong's body, and the wet animal skins he used to cover his mouth and nose were gradually drying out, which was not a good sign.
"Ahem, throw a little more. Shen Nong shoveled down a large piece of soil on the edge of the pit, and then threw it towards the ancestral fire, only to see that the soil immediately weakened a trace of fire at the moment it entered the ancestral fire, which shows that as long as the amount of soil is thrown enough, it can still affect the fire.
Shen Nong couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly began to dig up a large piece of soil, the fire of this ancestral fire was very fierce, if the spreading fire was not stopped, if it was allowed to spread like this, the flames would soon burn the entire cave.
If it was just to burn down the cave, it was not worth Shen Nong's hard work, but as far as Shen Nong knew, all the food of the Huangqiu tribe was stored in this cave, and in addition to food, there were also important items such as animal skins, medicinal herbs, dried fish, and tools.
These things are very important, if they are burned by the flames, then the Huangqiu tribe will face extremely heavy losses, as if it is a great loss of vitality.
For the sake of the food of the tribe and the future life and development of the Huangqiu tribe, Shen Nong stayed near the fire source so desperately and regardless of the danger, dedicating his meager strength to try to suppress the fire.
However, in the face of the fire, even a warrior would seem very small, and the ferocious fire finally spread to Shen Nong's body, burning the animal skin clothes he was wearing.
"Huhuhu!" Shen Nong suddenly ignored the action of digging, and hurriedly slapped the flames on his body with a bone shovel, while his body kept rolling back and forth on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames.
What Shen Nong didn't notice was that the place where the flame was burning was right on his waist, and the 'Wutongtai' stone knife that Shen Nong was carrying with him happened to be hanging in this position.
The moment the flames burned to the stone knife's body, a dim white light suddenly lit up on the surface of the stone knife, and streams of air instantly emerged from the inside of the stone knife, and then drilled into Shen Nong's body.
At the same time, the amber necklace that Shen Nong was wearing around his neck also immediately lit up with emerald green glow, Shen Nong only felt that a large amount of air flow suddenly gathered in his body, and it was surging along his throat to his mouth, and a sour and numb feeling spread from the inside of Shen Nong's nasal cavity, and he couldn't bear to scream violently for a while.
"Ahh
"Whew!"
The fierce wind visible to the naked eye instantly whistled out from Shen Nong's mouth, directly blowing away all the thick smoke in this area, and even the fire of the ancestral fire pile shrank by a whole circle, and it seemed to be temporarily contained.
Shen Nong looked at the ancestral fire with an incredulous expression, and it was hard to imagine that the gust of wind just now was actually sprayed by himself.
"What's the situation?" Shen Nong said with a confused expression.
The amber necklace slowly dimmed, and the stone knife gradually returned to normal, and there was no longer any abnormality.
Shen Nong got up from the ground, all the smoke in this area had been blown away by him, but he no longer needed those fire prevention tips in a short time, so Shen Nong took the fragments of animal skin away from his face, and looked at the much smaller ancestral fire with a curious expression.
I saw that in the center of the ancestral fire, there seemed to be an item placed in it, which looked like some kind of statue, and as Shen Nong approached the ancestral fire step by step, the red ancestral fire suddenly shook violently, and pieces of red petals immediately swayed from the flames, condensing into red flame buds in mid-air.
"This is?" Shen Nong looked at these buds in surprise, the scene in front of him was completely beyond his cognition, who could believe that the buds could fly out of a fire, this was really too fake.
However, such a fake thing was seen by Shen Nong with his own eyes, those buds fluttered in the air, and finally slowly fell to the ground like dandelions, and finally dispersed into countless sparks and dissipated everywhere.
A flower bud just fell in front of Shen Nong, and gently collided with Shen Nong's forehead.
Wow!
Without any feeling, the flower bud was just integrated into Shen Nong's body.
Shen Nong's eyes suddenly became confused, as if his mind had drifted to that more distant era.
......
"Casting tribal totems, our Huangqiu tribe will have a name on the earth in the future, and it will no longer be those scattered tribes!" A strong man raised his fist and kept beating a piece of black iron, as the man's punch fell, the black iron would quietly change a trace of appearance, and finally turn into a strangely shaped statue.
"Light the ancestral fire of the tribe and protect the safety of my Huangqiu people!" an old man in a colorful feather cloak held a torch and chanted a series of strange words, only to see the flames burning on the torch sometimes writhing like snakes, sometimes splashing like silver trees blooming.
Under the gaze of dozens of primitive people with disheveled heads, the old man threw the torch into the haystack, and the flames suddenly burst into flames.
