Chapter 271: Worship the Ancestors Again

To get in the direction indicated by the knot, it is necessary to cross the river.

Shao Xuan walked along the river for a distance, but didn't find a place where he could go directly, so he asked Chirp to help carry it.

When he grabbed the eagle's talons and passed, Shao Xuan saw a hunting scene by the river.

A gibbon-like animal with long, sharp claws, attracted by the shiny things on the riverbank, was about to dig it out and take a look, when the water arrow suddenly came.

However, the animal was also quick to react, and stopped digging in his hand and began to dodge quickly.

Two arrows in a row didn't hit, I don't know if it was because I lost Shao Xuan's prey a moment ago, the fish in the water was a little anxious, and the head hidden under the water was also exposed more, and some fan-like scales could be seen.

Three more water arrows were fired in succession, the first two water arrows blocked the retreat of the prey on the shore, and when the prey hurriedly turned, the third water arrow hit the target.

The prey on the shore was beaten to a stagger, that is, there was a pause, and the subsequent water arrows arrived one after another.

A high-pitched, terrible cry sounded in the mountains and forests, as if it were about to puncture the eardrums, but its cry only startled a few timid birds, and the other creatures in the mountains and forests did not move because of the call. Except for that fish in the water.

The body of the fish, which is about six or seven meters long, looks large and heavy, suddenly jumps out of the water and falls towards the river bank. The well-developed pectoral and pelvic fins are like four legs, and after it has landed on the shore, it bounces up again under the action of support. It opens its large, fanged mouth and bites its prey that has been slowed down by a series of water arrows.

Shao Xuan could clearly hear the crunch of bones.

The prey has horror and disbelief in its eyes, and the strange fish that bites the prey shrinks its well-developed pectoral and pelvic fins, biting the struggling prey, and rolling its slightly cylindrical body from the river bank into the river. The panicked screams disappeared in an instant. Only bubbles emerge from the water.

The qiē by the river once again regained its tranquility just now, with only some bubbles and not obvious blood floating up from the river.

This is the fierce beast mountain forest that people of all tribes fear, and the hidden danger under the seemingly quiet surface, even if you look at it from a distance, it will give people a sense of heavy pressure.

Shao Xuan retracted his gaze. After crossing the river, he returned to the surface and continued to deal with the various murderous attempts in the mountains and forests, and continued in the direction given by the knot.

When Shao Xuan was advancing towards the target direction in the mountains and forests, in the tribe, Wu counted the days.

It's been six days, and I don't know when Shao Xuan will be back. As soon as he thought of Shao Xuan, Wu felt a headache and didn't feel at ease.

I'm worried. Ao walked in briskly from the outside.

"What happened?" Wu asked.

After listening to Ao's words, knowing that it was not Shao Xuan's business, but something else, Wu was also slightly relieved, but what Ao said really had to be taken seriously and cautiously.

The people of the Lu tribe told them that there would be a special expedition coming, and that the team was in the procession. All of them are people from some big tribes in the central part of the country.

New things distracted the tribesmen, and Wu didn't have time to count how long Shao Xuan had been gone.

After three days of hard work. Shao Xuan finally arrived at the place indicated by the knot.

Although there is no sign or stone here that indicates that this is the place he is looking for, Shao Xuan feels that this is the place.

Look around, it's all around it, it's a part of the mountains, and you can see white snow on the top of the towering peaks.

Close to here. Shao Xuan felt that something seemed to attract him in the mountains.

Vigilant around, Shao Xuan walked towards the place that attracted him step by step, he didn't know where it was, and he didn't know what he was looking for. I just felt like I should find that thing.

The higher you go, the steeper the mountain slopes, the trees thinner, and the attraction gets closer.

Finally, Shao Xuan came to a cave. Looking at the boulder blocking the cave, Shao Xuan inserted the knife back into the holster on his waist, took a deep breath, and moved out holding the stone.

With the dull sound of rubbing, the stones were moved away little by little.

This place is almost close to the top of the mountain, although there is no snow, but the temperature is much lower than the foot of the mountain, but in the cave, it is as if someone is lighting a fire, as the stones are removed, Shao Xuan can feel the oncoming heat, with a stale atmosphere.

Unlike this heating, the cave was pitch black, but no fire was visible.

There is a strange force blocking it, repelling the intruder, and it seems that if the intruder persists, that strange force will tear apart every qiē that forced the invasion like the rotating blades of a blender. However, this strange power gave Shao Xuan a familiar feeling.

Chirp hovers in the sky around them, reluctant to come down, and doesn't come close to the kill. Shao Xuan didn't force it.

After removing the stone, Shao Xuan went to find some dry wood, lit a torch, and walked in step by step.

I don't know how long this hole has been stored, but there are some things at the entrance of the cave that are no longer clear in their original state, and when they are touched, they turn into mud or shatter them.

Inside!

Walking deeper into the cave with torches, it didn't take long for Shao Xuan to see several people, to be exact, six standing corpses that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.

When he didn't see it clearly just now, Shao Xuan thought it was the person blocking the way, but after seeing it clearly, he found that it was six brown dried corpses like skin and bones. Their hair was still there, and although the animal skin they were wearing was no longer shiny and covered with a layer of dust, it was not as pliable as it once was, and it could be easily cut with a single slash.

Six people completely blocked Shao Xuan's way forward.

These six people, their faces can no longer be seen as they once were, in the deep sunken eye sockets, there are no eyeballs, but they seem to be looking at something seriously, obviously without expression, but inexplicably giving people a sense of firmness and fortitude, as if no one, anything, can move them away.

The closer he got, the more Shao Xuan could feel the force that seemed to be torn apart, and his chest churned, and the pain of a burning stab spread throughout his body.

Shao Xuan had to use the power of the totem to resist.

However, the strange thing is that when Shao Xuan used the power of the totem and the totem pattern appeared on his body, the power of strong resistance became softer, and it was no longer repulsive, but made Shao Xuan feel close.

The strange power of blocking, gone.

People from the Flamehorn Tribe?!

If it is really from the Yanjiao tribe, then it must be those ancestors thousands of years ago, right?

Since he is an ancestor, according to the tradition of the tribesmen, he has to worship the ancestors, but Shao Xuan's body now flows with the blood of Yanjiao, and as a Yanjiao person, he naturally has to worship.

Shao Xuan put the torch aside, and seriously bowed to the six people in front of him, with the etiquette of the ancestors.

Bang -

Six corpses, poured.

Looking at the fallen corpse, Shao Xuan was stunned, wondering if he had worshiped the ancestors, but after thinking about it, it was not right.

Before, these six people blocked the way forward, but now, they fell, and there was still a passage left, which was not wide, but Shao Xuan walked over just right.

Picking up the torch and being careful not to trample the ancestors, Shao Xuan continued to walk inside.

As he walked forward, about twenty meters away, Shao Xuan saw a person sitting cross-legged on the ground, or rather, a dried corpse similar to the six people in front of him, but this dried corpse was more complete, except for a slight shriveled, the appearance was quite clear.

Probably because he was too old, there were more wrinkles on this person's face. Look at the costumes......

It's not like a warrior, but it's a bit like the old man Wu.

Witch?

Whether it is or not, see the ancestors, worship and then speak.

Shao Xuan bowed seriously again, and then, he felt that the strange power from before dispersed like the wind.

The temperature in the cave dropped suddenly, as if a lit torch had gone out and the heating had ceased to be there.

Shao Xuan's gaze passed over the person sitting cross-legged on the ground, and behind this person, there were wooden boxes and stone boxes, on which a layer of ash had accumulated. (To be continued......)
