The old warriors, indulging in the madness of revenge, stabbed it with spears, slashed it with stone knives, lifted off the intact carapace of the ancient giant worm piece by piece, roasted its flesh with torches, and rode on it to gnaw the half-cooked flesh until they could no longer eat it......

The Ancient Giant Worm died in untold agony.

When it was certain that it was dead, the old warriors cut off its head, carved out the flesh, and cleaned it up with stream water.

After doing all this, they collapsed on the ground for some reason, and then looked at each other with expressions that only the other could understand.

More than 60 years of hatred, more than 60 years of goal suddenly accomplished.

As the hatred that had accumulated in their chests was released, they also felt a sense of dazedness.

Bone Claw's forehead was a bead of sweat the size of a bean, he grabbed his sweaty gray hair, and sobbed: "I am willing to die now, we have the face to meet our ancestors and relatives!"

Arashi patted the bone-clawed hand as if soothingly.

He looked up at the green sky obscured by the canopy of trees, and a tear flowed from his cloudy old eyes, which slowly disappeared into his wrinkled hair.

Hatred is like a flame that burns them and makes them miserable, but it also guides them and gives them motivation. Otherwise, this lonely life in the rainforest, where there is no hope, and the endless green of the sea would have driven them crazy.

After a long while, the bone claw stood up, took out the stone jar containing the world-weary insect from his arms, handed it to Ye Xi with both hands, and said in a low voice.

"Wu, our revenge has been avenged, this divine worm has lost its meaning to us, so leave it to you, it was originally up to you to find it. ”

Ye Xi didn't refuse, he really needed this misanthropic worm very much.

"Thank you, I took it. ”

After a while, Ye Xi asked them, "What are your plans next?"

"What are you going to do?"

The five veterans looked at each other.

Bone Claw was silent for a moment, looked at the hideous insect head next to him and said, "First put this insect head on the bones of the clansmen, and let the clansmen know that their revenge has been taken." ”

Ye Xi: "What about after that?"

Bone Claw looked ahead in confusion and said uncertainly, "Maybe...... Get a good night's sleep and sleep longer. ”

Ye Xi shook his head and said, "I'm asking you about your future life, do you still want to live here? Perhaps, you will be willing to come to my tribe to spend your old age in peace." Although you are still physically strong, in a few decades you will eventually be unable to move, and you will have no one to take care of you here, and your safety will not be guaranteed. ”

"But in my tribe, I can guarantee that you will be well taken care of. ”

Because of these old warriors, he could obtain such a precious treasure as the world-weary insects, and he could not let them stay alone in the rainforest and live with the dead bone insects for the rest of their lives.

Hearing Ye Xi say this, a flame of hope ignited in the eyes of the bone claw and the big leech, and their lips moved, but the barren stone did not speak for a while, silent as a stone statue.

At last he looked desolate, and sighed, "I used to dream of leaving here and going to see other tribes, to hear the laughter of women, children, and young people, but now I ...... Old man Bone, you follow the witch, I want to stay here and guard the cave, this is my home, I won't leave. ”

The bone claw said like a gas: "If you don't go, I won't leave either!" Forget it, they are all old, they will be the same wherever they go, just die of old age here!"

The big leech smiled: "For more than 60 years, five people have come together, and I won't leave." ”

The other two old soldiers also sighed and said they couldn't go.

Ye Xi: "Don't answer me in such a hurry, you can think about it again, perhaps, I can introduce my tribe to you." ”

He sat down in a pile of dead leaves.

He said slowly in a soft tone: "It's called Xicheng, and it's different from other tribes, it's made up of many tribes, like a tribal alliance, but it's more closely related than a tribal alliance. Tens of thousands of people live there, and together we have built continuous city walls, neat and livable stone houses, a magnificent Colosseum, large tracts of farmland, blue star lakes, and ......."

As he spoke, Ye Xi drew in the pile of dead leaves with a branch.

He knew that the Colosseum was too difficult for them to understand, they had always lived in caves and had never seen anything like it, so he described them in words and pictures as much as he could.

The five veterans were fascinated and amazed when they heard this.

Ye Xi saw that they were interested, so he told the origin of Xicheng, the tribulations of the Great Migration, and the several disasters experienced after the city was built. When the old soldiers were sighing, Ye Xi changed his words, and talked about the booming trading area in Xicheng, the latest wine, the majestic bronze giant crossbow, and all kinds of magical plants planted in the alien plantation garden.

"You taste it, this is the wine made in Xicheng, it's called ice sake. ”

In order to tempt the old soldiers to go with him, Ye Xi took out the bronze wine jug and handed it to the barren stone.

The other four old men gathered around with wide eyes, looking at the bronze wine jug with surprise, and from time to time they reached out and touched the body.

"It's cool!

Arashi rubbed the bronze flask repeatedly, and it took a while to pull out the stopper and take a small sip.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

The liquor entered his throat, and the unsuspecting Arashi coughed violently.

Bone Claw couldn't wait to snatch the bronze flask: "Give me a drink!"

His eyes lit up when he drank it, and he smashed his mouth and said, "What a wonderful taste! It is cold and hot when you drink it, and it seems like a fire is burning in your stomach, but it is cold in your mouth!"

The big leech leaned over: "Give the old man a sip too." ”

A pot of iced sake ended up being only a small half pot.

Ye Xi was a little distressed when he took back the wine jug, but he didn't show it, looking at their eyes closed, he smiled slightly, looked at the barren stone and said: "After going to Xicheng, you can also taste other flavors of wine, I promise you that every ten days, I will give each of you two pots of wine made from different fruits and different springs, which is a treatment that the chiefs can't enjoy." ”

Huang Shi opened his eyes, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Wu, you are not so good to us old bones, we are old and our strength is poor, and we can't make any contribution to Xicheng." ”

Ye Xi: "Who said you can't contribute?"

"There have been a lot of newborns born in Xicheng in the past two years, and there are many children in the young tower who need to be taken care of now, how about you help take care of them?"

He accurately grasps their weaknesses.

People like children when they are old, let alone old people like them who have not seen children for more than 60 years.

Ashi's face was uncertain, his chest heaving, and he was clearly struggling violently.

In the end, he seemed to have made up his mind, slowly stood up, and then knelt in front of Ye Xi with a puff: "Thank you, Wu!"

Ye Xi was overjoyed, grabbed his arm and wanted to help him up, and said, "You agreed?"

But the barren stone was unwilling to stand up, knelt and hung his head, and said with difficulty,

“...... No, Wu, I'm still not leaving. ”

"Xicheng is very good, really good, I fell in love with this powerful tribe just by listening to you. But this is my home, and I have lived here all my life, and the thought of leaving it completely makes me uncomfortable, and no amount of wine, no matter how good the tribe, no amount of children's laughter, can make me happy. ”

Ye Xi was silent for a long time.
