Chapter 464: The sound of a heartbeat
On the night of the arrival of the Taihe River and the Shanfeng tribe, the wind outside increased again, and the wind and snow were so full that even the soldiers guarding outside the cave could not bear it.
And now outside the cave, unless all the snow is swept away, the surrounding snow is like a thick wall, blocking all view, and you must stand on a high place and sweep away the snow that blocks the view in order to look farther away.
Shao Xuan stood above and braved the wind and snow to look, between heaven and earth, it was all white. The strange rocky land has no craggy appearance now, and it is submerged in a white sea. At first glance, I thought it was flat ground.
Shao Xuan tried to use a straw rope to divination, he wanted to predict the weather, and the sense of crisis that made people shudder and shiver that he couldn't understand, but none of them succeeded.
Looking around, as far as the eye could see, there was no shadow of anyone else, compared to the Fierce Fox Tribe and the Sen Tribe, there was no intention of coming out.
Once you are in the cave, move the stone that blocked the entrance to the cave back to its original place.
Many soldiers in Yanjiao looked at Shao Xuan, looking forward to getting good news from Shao Xuan, they had listened to Shao Xuan's words before, and they were not as miserable as the Tai River and the mountain wind.
To their disappointment, Shao Xuan shook his head silently.
The salt cave became quieter and quieter, and at first there were still people complaining, scolding the Fierce Fox and the people of the Sen tribe, but now, they are all complaining, and they only hope that this weather will end soon.
Wu Chu and Tai He knew a few people in Zhongzhong, and they were all leaders of the younger generation of the tribe, and when the people of Tai River came over, several people who knew each other on both sides of them would get together to exchange experiences along the way. Now no one speaks, and whoever can fall asleep sleeps sleeps. Reduce consumption, and if you can't fall asleep, you can stay in a daze with your eyes open.
Hearing the sound of chewing next to him, Wu Shu kicked that side, "What are you chewing?"
"Grass. ”
"Come on. ”
Fei Ang of the Taihe tribe handed over half a grass, and they often brought some herbs with them, even if the medicinal value was not great. I will also bring some, this kind of chewing and playing when they are fine, so that they can calm down.
When he handed it over, Fei Ang asked, "You elders don't seem to have brought good news. ”
"There will always be. Wu Chop didn't say much, took the grass and put it in his mouth to chew, a bitter taste, I don't know how the people of Taihe can like to chew this kind of thing.
There will always be, everyone thinks so, but day by day. It makes people's hearts sink more and more.
Every day when they wake up, or go out to release water, they will be shocked again by the changes outside, and it seems that there is never a limit, and they don't know where the limit is.
Such a change is frightening.
If this continues, will the mountains and forests they live in become a land of ice and snow? The younger warriors' minds have begun to diverge aimlessly.
Even if you don't have ice and snow, some of the mountains are also covered with ice and snow all year round. But they had never seen a place where the snow was so thick. It's still on ordinary flat ground. Moreover, the snow was still falling, and there were a few brief pauses along the way, but this trend did not mean to end in the first place.
"What should I do?"
The three leaders gathered together, even though they held the fire crystal in their hands, but the current situation. Make it difficult for them. The excitement of digging up the fire crystals at the beginning has gradually cooled down.
With the people of the Fierce Fox and the Sen tribe, they must have to fight, otherwise they would have traveled so far and paid so much price. Everyone was holding a breath of restless sullenness in their hearts, but this stuffiness was forcibly suppressed under the changes of the sky.
With a bitter face and silence, the burden on the shoulders of the three leaders was heavy, and the psychological pressure was also great. I don't know what will happen to my people, and I don't know if the tribe is safe now.
"If we had known this, we wouldn't have come even if we gave up the salt mines. The leader of the Mountain Wind Tribe said in a deep voice.
"But who would have expected such a drastic change? Even the people of the Fierce Fox and Sen tribes probably underestimated this heavenly change. The leader of the Tay tribe sighed helplessly. Who doesn't regret it when it comes to this?
Seeing that Shao Xuan didn't speak, he had already walked to the salt stone where he had been sitting for a few days and continued to be "in a daze", and the eyes of the three leaders couldn't help but show disappointment.
Now the other two leaders already knew that Yanjiao was able to avoid the changes in the sky because of Shao Xuan, and there were no people in their team who predicted the weather, so they could only put their hopes on Shao Xuan. Regardless of the good news or bad news, as long as they know what will happen next, they will be more reassured in their hearts and so that they can be prepared.
"Alas!" Zhengluo couldn't be idle, as soon as he was free, he liked to think more, moved his hands and feet, jumped into the pit where he dug fire crystals, and continued to dig.
The other two leaders looked at each other, got up, stretched their shoulders, and jumped in as well. Dig it, stay quietly and they will be more melancholy.
Now their daily progress is much slower, the lower they go, the harder the stone becomes, and several digging tools have been scrapped, although there are more than a dozen fire crystals dug out, they are small and not enough. Everyone absorbs a little, and also refreshes the fighters.
Shao Xuan sat on the converted salt stone, carefully feeling the changes around him.
Sound?
In the pit next to it, the sound of the three leaders digging for fire crystals could be heard, and everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
Farther away, there was whispering in the cave, some people were talking in their dreams, some were snoring, and he could even feel that there were many people in a daze in the dark with their eyes open.
There is also the sound of the wind blowing in through the vents.
What else?
There is also the sound of people's heartbeats, and Shao Xuan seems to be able to hear the sound of blood flowing in his body.
Bang bang!
The sound of the front high and the back low made Shao Xuan's eyebrows tremble.
The sound of a heartbeat?
The voice is soft, but it feels powerful. It seemed to echo among the rocks, with an aftermath.
Own heartbeat?
No, it's not your own, it's not the people next to you, and it's not the other fighters in the cave!
Who is it?
Whose heartbeat sounds?
Shao Xuan wanted to hear it again, confirm it, and waited and waited, but he couldn't hear that voice again.
Shao Xuan felt that he was already very close to the answer, but he always felt that it was still a little close. Just a little bit.
Just when Shao Xuan felt that the voice just now would not appear again, he heard it again.
Bang bang!
It's still high in the front and low in the back, or the powerful heartbeat just now, and if you distinguish it carefully, you can find that the later sound is a little louder than the previous one. It's just that Shao Xuan can't be sure if it's true.
The sound of a real heartbeat is not like a human heartbeat, it seems to be far away, but it feels very close, it is uncertain, the sound is not loud, but the sound from the stone layer can be heard clearly.
"Chief, did you hear anything?" asked Shao Xuan.
Zheng Luo, who was digging up the fire crystal, paused, "Voice?"
Several other people in the pit also stopped. I listened carefully and carefully.
"I didn't hear that. Qi Qi shook his head.
"It's gone, it rang just now. Shao Xuan said.
Hearing Shao Xuan say this, a few people in the pit stopped digging, and waited attentively to distinguish all the sounds in the cave.
"What kind of sound is it?" the voices inside the cave were too loud for them to figure out.
"The sound of a heartbeat. The sound of a small but strong heartbeat, like it came from the stone layer, and it echoed. Shao Xuan said carefully.
That's even more puzzling. How can there be such a sound?
Several people in the pit are patient, and their patience has been tested countless times during the hunt. Therefore, the few of them were quite patient, but after stopping all their movements and listening carefully, they still didn't hear what Shao Xuan said.
Zheng Luo was about to speak, but Shao Xuan suddenly said, "It rang again just now." Did you hear that?"
The three leaders looked at each other, and they all saw doubt in each other's eyes, which showed that the three of them did not hear.
Looking at Duokang and the others, they are also full of doubts.
"Did you really hear that?" asked Seirachi again.
"I heard it three times. Shao Xuan affirmed.
Now the three leaders are not calm, it's not that they don't want to believe Shao Xuan. It's just that the three of them really didn't hear the voice Shao Xuan said. If it is said that the weather is predicted, the leaders of the Taihe River and the mountain wind dare not compare with Shao Xuan, after all, the facts have proved that Shao Xuan is correct, but when it comes to hearing, they think that they are good, so that they can't hear at all.
The other two leaders were skeptical, but they could be believed. Shao Xuan has too many differences from others, and Wu also believes in Shao Xuan, so Zheng Luo's face is serious, "If there is really such a voice, Shao Xuan, what do you think it is?"
"I don't know. However, the source of that sound is something I've always been afraid of. Shao Xuan said what he thought.
Zheng Luo threw down the digging tools in his hand, climbed out of the pit, and said to Duokang: "Inform the others, be vigilant." ”
Duokang didn't talk nonsense, he threw down his tools and ran away, and he could still hear him shouting as he ran.
Seeing that Zhengluo was like this, although the other two leaders were still skeptical, since the people of Yanjiao had acted like this, they also followed.
The originally silent cave suddenly exploded, because they didn't know what was going on, so stay vigilant? Is there some crisis coming?
"Shao Xuan, you continue to listen, and once you find something, tell us. Zhengluo sat down next to Shao Xuan, he didn't have the heart to care about the fire crystal anymore, the fire crystal was important, but compared to so many people in the team, he had to go to the back.
The other two leaders also brought over a piece of salt stone and sat next to Shao Xuan, they also wanted to see what the young elder of Yanjiao had heard.
At this time, another part of the salt mine, inside the salt cave owned by the Fox tribe.
The leader of the Blazing Fox woke up after a good night's sleep and ran over to see the progress of the fire crystal excavation.
"How's the digging?" asked the chief.
The overseer next to the pit pointed to the basket at his feet, and there were not a few more fire crystals, which made the leader of the Burning Fox frown.
Now it's really getting slower and slower, and he's extremely unhappy with this efficiency. However, the further down the fire crystals, the more you can only wait patiently.
"Go on, don't let me know who's lazy!"
"Yes!"
At the bottom of the pit, among the people digging, a warrior of the Fierce Fox tribe went down with a shovel, heard a crisp sound of the gong, and thought that he had shoveled the rocks again. He'd shoveled hard rocks several times in the past few days, but this time, the tools were badly damaged.
"Unlucky!" looked at the deformed copper shovel, and the warrior threw the shovel away, picked up a few new tools to the side, and continued digging.
"I'd like to see what kind of stone this is!" (To be continued......)
