[278] The way to go down the mountain
Facing the slope where there was still lightning attacking, Xiao did not choose to take the clansmen up again, although the Thunder Mountain tribe was not their opponent, they were not the opponents of this lightning, so in order not to sacrifice the clansmen, Xiao chose to leave.
"What about the little tribe?" someone asked.
"They don't have anything to do with each other. Xiao shook his head indifferently.
So the group of Huyan tribes left this place.
Watching them leave, the people of the small tribe standing on the top of the low mountain were happy and distressed, happy that the Yan tribe did not embarrass them, and distressed that they could not go down the mountain now because of the lightning.
Those lightning bolts can stop the Yan tribe and others from going up the mountain, and naturally they can also prevent Shen Nong and others from going down the mountain, which is a double-edged sword.
"What now, we're stuck in the mountains. ”
"Let's see if there's anything else to eat in the Thunder Mountain tribe, we're probably going to have to stay here for a long time. ”
"I don't know when these lightning bolts will stop......," Shen Nong muttered.
Logically speaking, there is an upper limit to the charge generated in a thundercloud, and it is impossible to release lightning to the outside world without limit.
Compared to this, Shen Nong was more curious about what was attracting those lightning bolts to the ground, if it weren't for the fact that the thunder was still going on now, he would definitely have run over to check.
It seems that the Leishan tribe does not want to escape from the ancestral land at all, but is bent on fighting to the death with the Yan tribe, so the things in their tribe have not been touched, and any food and water tanks are all intact, which makes the people trapped in the ancestral land of the Leishan tribe feel very happy, at least they will not be starved to death on this mountain.
Looking at those people with smiles on their faces, Shen Nong's face was very dignified, because he didn't think so.
There are several tribes that were forced to attack the Thunder Mountain tribe this time, and the total number of people is also hundreds, so many people have so many mouths, no matter how much food they have, they will be eaten quickly, Shen Nong does not believe that the food stored by one Thunder Mountain tribe can feed these hundreds of people for too long.
"We still have to find a way out of this place. Shen Nong thought secretly.
While Chi and the others joined the battle for food and water, Shen Nong walked alone to the edge of the mountaintop and sat down to observe the lightning-attracting hillside.
The more you look from above, the more you can see that the location of the thunderbolts is fixed, and it seems that something is buried under the dirt in that location.
Shen Nong was curious, and after observing the spot for a while, he suddenly got up and walked towards the nearest lightning point to him.
Rumble!!!
Purple-white lightning shot out from the dark clouds in the sky, and it happened to fall on the position that Shen Nong had been observing for a long time, this position had been struck by lightning dozens of times in a row, it could be seen that there must be something buried below that attracted lightning, otherwise it would never have been such a coincidence.
"The last time lightning fell here seemed to be about four or five seconds, I'll wait and see. Shen Nong muttered to himself.
When he counted five times in his heart, sure enough, another lightning bolt fell from the sky and landed where Shen Nong had been staring at.
The moment the lightning disappeared, Shen Nong made a move.
"It's now!"
I saw Shen Nong suddenly pull out the stone knife he hung on his waist, and insert it very hard into the position that was always struck by lightning.
Bang!
The moment the stone knife was inserted, Shen Nong could obviously feel that the stone knife had hit a hard object.
Shen Nong hurriedly shoveled two handfuls of soil with a stone knife, and immediately retreated a few steps back, because at this time, the time he was silently reciting in his heart had reached 4.
Rumble!
As soon as Shen Nong's body dodged, a serpentine lightning slashed down from the sky on time, if Shen Nong was a second and a half second later, I am afraid that at this time, he would have to follow in the footsteps of those dead Yan tribesmen.
When the lightning disappeared, Shen Nong immediately concocted the same method, and began to approach the position to continue shoveling the soil, and after a few cycles, this place has been dug out by Shen Nong A pit the size of a basketball, and it was seen that in the pit, a silver metal rod erected in the soil looked extremely eye-catching.
The shape of this silver metal rod is not very regular, and the surface is full of a lot of potholes, but it is such an ordinary thing, but it can attract lightning in the sky, and there must be something special hidden in it.
When the next lightning passed, Shen Nong immediately inserted the stone knife in his hand into the root of the silver metal stick, and then pried it out of the pit with all his might.
Wow, wow, wow!
The silver metal rod rolled down the hillside, and finally stopped two or three steps away from Shen Nong, but was blocked by a stone.
When this silver metal rod was dug out of the pit, the lightning that Shen Nong expected did not come as expected, but the lightning that should have fallen here no longer appeared, this change was seen by Shen Nong, he knew that he should have found a way to solve these lightning strikes.
Looking at the silver metal stick that he had pried out of the pit, Shen Nong stepped forward and touched it with a stone knife, and after seeing that there was no reaction, Shen Nong tentatively reached out and grabbed the metal rod.
There was no danger as expected, but the metal rod felt very cold in the hand, as if it had been in an ice cave for hours before.
"If you can find the right way to use it, it should be of no small use. Shen Nong said secretly in his heart, and then put the metal stick into the long bag of animal skin bundle mouth that he was carrying behind him.
Now that these 'Heavenly Thunder Arrays' could be cracked, Shen Nong wasted no time and immediately devoted himself to excavating the silver metal rods buried under the soil.
It's a dangerous job, because you have to count down to five seconds in your mind while you're digging, and you have to count down the five seconds very accurately, otherwise your life could be lost at any time.
After Shen Nong dug out five silver metal rods in a row, his whole face was already tired and sweaty, his whole body was sweating, and his back was wet and tightly pasted with the animal skin clothes, doing this kind of thing is not only physically tired, but even his mind will be very tired, because you have to worry about whether a lightning bolt will suddenly fall from the sky, and then directly split your mortal body into a charred corpse.
Shen Nong, who was exhausted, decided to let himself rest first, otherwise he would make a mistake sooner or later if he continued to dig like this, and he would count down the wrong time, so he would really want to cry without tears.
