Shao Xuan took the bone ornament and recalled the situation back then. He remembered that it was the ball in the middle of the ornament that worked in the first place, and he asked, "Do you know what this ball is, and where did the ancestors get their treasures?"

In the cave of the king worm, it was pitch black and there was no light, but under the special ability vision, Shao Xuan saw the light emitted from this bead at that time, enveloping the people and things around him, but when he took it to a well-lit place and could see it clearly, in the ordinary field of vision, he found that this bead was as dim as a mortal thing.

It's a very special thing.

"Baby, indeed, it's a very precious thing. With infinite reverence in his eyes, the witch stared at the ball in the bone ornament and said: "A long time ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the tribe, after the death of the first witch, the leader put him into the fire, but found that the first witch did not disappear directly like the others, but left behind six beads. ”

"Is this it?" Shao Xuan was surprised.

Wu nodded, "Later, the six beads were given to those who had made great contributions to the tribe, and they were also called 'elders', except for the witch and the leader, they were the six highest-ranking people in the tribe, assisting the witch and the leader. The six beads are the second light in the tribe, which can illuminate the night for the tribesmen even if they are far away from the fire...... It's a pity that after the tribe's fire was broken, the six beads were dimmed. ”

Shao Xuan suddenly felt that the bone ornament on his hand was heavy. What if you really lose it? The witch will fight with him. If it's an ordinary treasure, forget it, this is something left by the first witch, and you can't find a seventh one in this world.

Thinking about Shao Xuan, he was stunned, six beads?

Looking at Wu suspiciously, Shao Xuan asked, "The six beads left by the first Wu and his old man." It's all in your hands?" he had just seen that there were only three bone ornaments in the box that Wu had taken out.

Wu shook his head, with unconcealed regret and regret in his tone: "The other three, along with the other half of the fire, disappeared. So far, I haven't been able to feel where the other half of the fire is. ”

Even Wu couldn't feel it, so I really didn't know where it was. Tinder. Sure enough, it's still missing, and as for when it will be found, God knows.

After talking about the sacrificial ceremony after the end of the next winter, Wu asked Shao Xuan to leave. This time, if there is no accident, Shao Xuan is still one of the dancers of the sacrificial dance.

Waiting for Shao Xuan to leave, Wu sat in place, looking at the dim balls on the other two bone ornaments in the stone box, and pondered for a long time. It finally turned into a sigh. When I didn't come here, I thought about how to cross the river, how to return to my hometown, and what to do when I got there. But after returning, as he became more and more aware of the shapes around him, Wu felt very stressed.

Is the Flamehorn Tribe strong? Yes, but only once. The current strength, compared with the big tribes in the central part, there is still a zài gap. Even if it really confronts the Wanshi tribe next to it, it may be a rather tragic result. That's what he doesn't want to see. However, during the ritual after winter, it is good to wait for the visitors to wake up.

Become stronger, only by becoming stronger, can you stand firm.

Shao Xuan's side, after he left Wu's place, he went back directly. At this time, it was already dark, and there were many fewer people walking outside, but fortunately there were no night swallows here, and those annoying nocturnal insects were also because of the fire. Coming out less.

After the fire is connected to the fire vein, it has a lot more influence on other creatures, and Chirp doesn't like to stay near the fire pit very much now, just comes over once a day, brings some prey to Lao Ke, and then leaves in a hurry.

After dinner, Shao Xuan originally planned to go over there to see the situation of the carnivorous birds he raised, but because of the bone ornament given by Wu, he didn't go out and sat in the room to study the bone ornament.

The central role on the bone ornament is the bead, Shao Xuan touched the dull surface of the bead, and the hand was not as cold as other items in winter, with warmth. Such a thing turned out to be left after the cremation of a witch, if it hadn't been for what Wu had said, Shao Xuan would really not think about it.

Knowing how special this thing is, Shao Xuan didn't study anything until he fell asleep. It's just that after falling asleep, Shao Xuan had a dream.

In the dream, a human figure composed of flames slowly became clear, at first it was only in a relatively distant place, but gradually, the person who was covered in fire walked straight towards this side, the figure was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, he couldn't see his age and gender, just a person wrapped in flames.

The burning man opened his arms, just like when Wu summoned the fire by the fire, he seemed to be still reading something, but Shao Xuan couldn't hear it clearly.

Witch?

Shao Xuan was like a bystander, watching the burning man's every move.

When Shao Xuan was immersed in such a strange dream, the bone ornament he was wearing flashed in the dark night, and then dimmed again. As always.

When Shao Xuan woke up the next day, the situation he saw in the dream was still clear, and he looked at the bone ornament hanging around his neck, Shao Xuan thought, could it be that the ancestors had dreamed? Or did he think too much about himself?

Shaking his head, seeing that the beads on the bone ornament were still as dim as yesterday, Shao Xuan didn't think about it anymore, he didn't go out hunting today, but he wanted to participate in patrols.

The Wanshi tribe still occasionally came to the border places to sneak around before winter, and after winter, there were fewer of them, but the necessary vigilance still had to be there, not to mention, there were many tourists in the tribe whose loyalty was to be tested.

To be able to persist until now, the vast majority of tourists are firm-minded people, who know what kind of life they want, even if they don't have a handicraft that can be seen, as long as they are willing to learn and pay, they can still eat and not starve to death.

"Ah Xuan, how many people can be awakened in this sacrifice?" asked Lang Ga.

"I can't say for sure, one or two thousand people should have it. Shao Xuan replied.

"Only one or two thousand?" Not only Langga, but also the other people who patrolled with him were puzzled.

Among the original members of the tribe, regardless of whether they have the ability to hunt or not, just looking at the totem warriors, there must be more than 1,500 people, and the rest except for some women, they are children who have not yet reached the age, and a large number of people in the latter will awaken to become totem warriors in the future. And after coming to the hometown, with the tourists who came over and found back, there were six or seven thousand, and they were pleasantly surprised for a long time, if most of these six or seven thousand could be awakened, how much help would it be?

But in fact it is not.

Among the tourist families who are accepted as members of this tribe, there are many cases where they are not Yanjiao people, such as Yan Shuo's wife, Lao Hao's wife, and some women are Yanjiao people, but their husbands are outsiders. Therefore, strictly speaking, if you judge by bloodline, you have to subtract three to fifty percent of these six or seven thousand people, and then look at the people who can awaken, and in the end, it is speculated that there are really only one to two thousand people.

Listening to Shao Xuan's analysis, the patrolling people were a little wilted.

"However, almost half of the visitors who came back were women. Shao Xuan said. Most of the tourists who left halfway were men, and few of the women left, perhaps they knew that even if the tribe would face a crisis, it was the best choice for them.

As soon as this was mentioned, Lang Ga and the others, who were originally wilting, immediately cheered up. And that's a good thing indeed.

In the past, when I was on the other side of the river, there were few women, but the witches were strict, so there were a lot of singles in each generation, plus the birth rate was not high, and the environment was difficult, so in the past so many years, there are still so few people.

Among these tourists who are coming back now, there are not only many women, but also the birth rate of children is much higher, like Yan Shuo's family, they gave birth to two, and now they heard that the living conditions are better, the body is much better, and his wife is there again, and Lang Ga and others are envious and jealous.

As long as there is time, it is believed that the tribe will develop quickly.

Shao Xuan thought about it, his footsteps suddenly paused, and he suddenly turned to look in one direction. It was where the tribal tourists lived.

"What's wrong?" Lang Ga and the others asked.

Shao Xuan said with vigilance and doubts: "I always feel that someone is watching me." ”

"What's this, everyone knows you, maybe whose little girl is interested in you......" Lang Ga said and paused.

Shao Xuan's face was stern, and the others didn't laugh, people like them who had experienced countless life and death hunts, their intuition was quite accurate, if they really felt that something was wrong, then there must be something! Those tourists who came back, not everyone was trustworthy.

"Take a look over there?" Lang Ga asked.

"No, I don't. Shao Xuan stopped, "Just keep an eye on that side lately." "If your intuition is correct, there are other people hidden among the tourists who have come back this time.

The direction that Shao Xuan looked at just now, where the tourists who came back from the tribe lived, was in an inconspicuous wooden house.

"I'll tell you to be careful, you don't believe it. In the room, a middle-aged man who looked honest sat on a wooden stool and crossed his legs. But at this time, there was no honesty on his face, and some were just gloating.

Next to the window of the wooden house, a beautiful and slender woman hid against the wall, just now she was just planning to test the kid, but she didn't want to, the other party had already seen it, fortunately she hid quickly and was not seen.

The woman was about to tell something, when she heard footsteps approaching outside, not from the totem warriors, which made the two of them feel a lot more relieved.

"Looking for me, I have to go out to work, be careful yourself, it's best not to go out for the next two days, otherwise we will be discovered." When the man said this, the ridicule on his face quickly dissipated, and he became honest and a little wooden.

In the following days, each patrol team would deliberately pay attention to the tourists of the lower tribe, but the days passed without any unusual occurrences.

Soon, the winter will pass, and the most significant sacrificial ceremony in the past thousand years will begin. (To be continued......)
