Underneath the sinkhole, there is indeed a place similar to a fire crystal mine.

After snorting, someone dug up the fire crystals. This made everyone's morale slump for more than ten days, and they suddenly cheered up.

What is the purpose of coming?

Since the sinkhole can't be dug there, it's the same when it is dug here, and besides, the leader bat has already "retreated," so everyone doesn't have to worry about anything, digging hard, thinking about digging as much as they can while the troublesome bat is not there.

Another six days passed.

The fire crystals in hand, large and small, have already been filled with a bag, and this is only a part of the digging.

Shao Xuan estimated that about half of it had not been dug up.

These fire crystals are enough for all the warriors who have fallen.

Watching Ao open a scroll of animal skins, Ta wiped the sweat from his face and asked, "What did Wu say?"

After discovering the fire crystal, Ao wrote another animal skin scroll to Wu for people to bring over, and exchanged opinions with Wu.

Ao Mian's joy faded a little because of the discovery of the fire crystal, and he looked a little strict.

"No one is allowed to leak the matter of the fire crystal!"

During the break, Ao called all the people over and ordered them not to tell the others the location of the fire crystals▼, the process of discovering them, and how much they were dug up.

The last time the five hunting teams came over, they found fire crystals in the sinkhole, but this time, they were under the sinkhole, and they also dug an underground passage to the bottom of the mountain, which needs to be kept secret.

If you don't go back to your hometown, it's nothing, it's all your own anyway. But then they will definitely return to their hometown, and once someone tells the people of other tribes about this, it will bring a lot of trouble, and even killing wars.

The less people know, the better. Fortunately, this time it was the people of the advance team who brought over. These people are well known and understood, and they trust them more.

When the time came to go out hunting, it was time to return to the tribe, Ao did not bring all the people back, leaving some people here to guard and continue digging, and he took another part of the people. As well as the dug fire crystals, rendezvous with the hunting team, and then return to the tribe.

Shao Xuan originally wanted to stay, in case the leader bat suddenly came out, but Ao refused.

"Wu said to let you go back. ”

Since it was Wu who said it, Shao Xuan didn't insist, Wu asked him to go back, he must have something to tell him.

When the hunting party returned to the tribe, the people of the tribe. Then they all knew about the leader taking people to find the fire crystal, and even if they wanted to hide it, it was impossible to hide it, as long as they didn't tell them the specific place.

Fortunately, many people in the tribe are obedient enough, and if the leader doesn't say it, the witch doesn't say it, so they don't ask much, and for them, they can have fire crystals to use. It's a great blessing, and you don't need to care about anything else.

The whole tribe. They were all filled with joy. Recently, there have been a lot of good things, and they have returned to their hometowns and fire crystals, each of which can make them happy for a long time.

On the top of the mountain, inside the stone house of Wu.

The leader who had just returned from the hunting grounds, the two big leaders, and a few old people in the tribe who had a high voice. are all gathered here, and Shao Xuan is also there.

In the past, Shao Xuan was not qualified to participate in such a meeting, but now, no one has any objections. Even sometimes when making some decisions, I will ask Shao Xuan's opinion, after all, Shao Xuan is the only person who has gone to his hometown and returned, and he knows much more than the people who have stayed here.

"The tribe will let all the people absorb the fire crystals at the time of the sacrifice next year. Wu said, "However, before the sacrifice, everyone must not relax. ”

You can't let go of other things just because you have fire crystals, and how much you can absorb depends on your state and ability. Those who have many old diseases, those who have not recovered from serious illnesses, and those who are malnourished should be in the best condition before the sacrifice.

This time, it is no longer a matter of a single person or a small number of people, it is related to the entire tribe, and everyone from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain must be taken seriously.

Ao nodded, glanced at the tower and the valley, and said, "I will take people to the green space when the time comes, and try to find as many herbs as possible to bring back." ”

Many of the injuries of the totem warriors cannot be healed by themselves, so they must rely on medicinal herbs, and ordinary medicinal herbs are not very effective, so they still have to use the green space.

"Fire Crystal will be put here for me first. Wu asked Shao Xuan, who was sitting on the edge and had not made a sound, "Ah Xuan has something to say?"

"When I was over there, I found that many people have their own ways to find out about the fire crystals, if we bring a large number of fire crystals over, like a live target, probably before we reach the hometown, we will be consumed by waves of people, especially those from the big tribes in the central region, they are not weaker than the people of our tribe. ”

Hearing this, the hearts of the people, including the leader, sank, and looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for his next words.

"I know that some people use boxes made of jade to hold fire crystals, which can block all kinds of exploration, but," Shao Xuan pointed to the big bag of fire crystals placed on the stone table in the middle, and said, "We don't have enough jade boxes to hold fire crystals, and jade is also very precious over there." ”

No one around has ever found a jade mine, and no one has ever seen jade, or the ones brought back by Shao Xuan, so that everyone has a preliminary understanding.

Wu smiled, "Don't worry about this. ”

As he spoke, Wu took out a wooden box, which also contained fire crystals, but before opening the box, Shao Xuan did not perceive the storage of fire crystals.

"Who is this?" Shao Xuan's eyes lit up.

"This is a box made of 'empty wood', and I believe that the barrier effect is not weaker than jade. Empty wood can be found in green spaces, cut down, and after being dried, it can also be brought back to make boxes. Wu said.

"This is good!" Gui Yan patted his thigh, "I'll take someone over there to chop more and bring them back, make more empty wooden boxes, and bring all the fire crystals I dug back to my hometown!"

"No, I'm not going to take all the fire crystals with me. Wu's words stunned the people who had just become excited.

"Why?" the crowd was puzzled.

Wu smiled lightly: "If one day, we return to our hometown and encounter a bigger change, if it's not good, we will return here." Here, it is our retreat, leaving some fire crystals, which is also a guarantee. ”

Inheritance. As well as continuation, this is something that every tribe cannot ignore, and as a witch, the things he considers are naturally more long-term.

"The fire crystals dug up are enough for all the totem warriors who fell in the next sacrifice. The rest of the part, when the time comes, keep it for later use, and the other part, you put it back into the cave you dug when the time comes, and then close the cave and cover it up. ”

As long as the people who followed Ao over kept the secret of the cave. Shao Xuan said that the temptation of fire crystals is very great, Wu believes it. When the time comes, an outsider will learn the news from other people in the tribe, and he will definitely look for the past, and the target will naturally be that sinkhole.

What's in the sinkhole?

That half-king leader bat!!

"If someone really came to me...... Then let them find death!" Wu Yi's always peaceful eyes became fierce, making the people present feel cold and tremble unconsciously.

King beasts, not common.

Until now, Shao Xuan only knew that there was a stone insect king insect in the mountain of the second stronghold of the hunting team led by Mai. And I have felt that kind of coercion at a rather dangerous distance.

Every king beast is not so easy to mess with. Shao Xuan's case is just a special case. I believe that for those outsiders in the future, the king beast can handle it, even if the leader bat has not really reached the king level at that time, it is only a half-king level, it is enough to deal with it.

Witch's words. Everyone present was silent for a long time before sighing.

"It's really a lot of consideration. ”

"I don't mean anything about that. ”

"Just do what you say. ”

"You don't need to let anyone else know about this. ”

After the people in the stone house had discussed the matter of the fire crystals, the witch let them leave.

"Ah Xuan, you stay. Wu said.

Wait for everyone else to leave. Wu said to Shao Xuan: "For the sacrificial dance at the beginning of next year, you remember to prepare." ”

Shao Xuan's face twitched, and he said "um".

Although the dances were a little weird, he had to get used to it, and he had to hunt a better prey and make a new outfit. At that time, it is not good to continue to wear the previous clothes during the sacrificial ceremony, and it will be laughed at, and it will be considered that the strength has stopped.

Wu asked Shao Xuan to be one of the members of the sacrificial dance, not only Shao Xuan's contribution to the tribe.

In the year that Shao Xuan left, there were fewer people who had awakened the power of the totem than the previous year. In addition to this, the witch carved two beasts, but both failed.

The warriors who raised the beast thought that it was their own problem, and the beast was not raised well, so the engraving failed, but Wu knew that his own factors were the main one.

When engraving, it was not as good as the first batch of those who were engraved, and halfway through the engraving, I felt that the follow-up was weak, and when there was a carving, the totem could not be condensed and formed.

Wu felt that there were also reasons for Shao Xuan, and when Shao Xuan was there, the situation would be much better.

Of course, these witches won't tell Shao Xuan, but every time they think about it, Wu can't go to the fire pond to kowtow to the ancestors and pour out the depression in his heart.

Shao Xuan didn't know Wu's depression at all, he went to find Ao, and then followed a few trips to the green space, before returning to his hometown, looking for more herbs, one is to prepare for the future, go back to his hometown, there will definitely be no less places to use medicine, and just arrived at his hometown, in a short period of time, he can't fully adapt, and he doesn't know the geography of his hometown, and it is difficult to find good herbs.

And another reason is because of Lao Ke. Lao Ke is old, before the sacrifice, he wants to give Lao Ke more support, the better the physical condition during the sacrifice, the more fire crystal energy he absorbs, it will also be good for Lao Ke in the future.

In other tribes, the living conditions of disabled people like Lao Ke are not good, and Shao Xuan only hopes that he can try to improve it.

Before the arrival of winter, the entrance to the cave on the side of the fire crystal has been blocked, and the surrounding area has also been disguised, so it is impossible to see that a tunnel has been dug there, and in another two or three years, it will be even more difficult to see.

Shao Xuan prepared a lot of food for the children in the cave, and in the past two years, several children who came out of the cave would bring something to the children in the cave before winter every year. (To be continued......)
