In the wooden hut where the tourists of the Rain tribe rested, the people of the expedition rested for the night, and as for how they slept, it was known by looking at the constipated faces of the people the next day.

When Shao Xuan opened his eyes, the light in the room was very dim, but with the biological clock formed over the years, he knew that the sun should have come out a long time ago.

The wooden houses here are poorly built, and there are many gaps in the roof and surrounding wooden walls through which sunlight can be seen if there is sunlight outside.

However, now it feels like the dawn has not yet arrived, and the night is still dark. There was a little bit of a cloudy light, but it was mostly dark.

"What's going on?" he rolled over and got up from the hay-covered plank bed slightly above the ground. He also felt that it should be the time when the sun was in the sky, but he didn't see the light that it should be. It always feels a little gloomy and depressing.

"Huh?" said Tuo, confused.

Shao Xuan also turned over, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he felt a layer of soft sand on the ground in the room.

Cack-clak –

Shao Xuan opened the door.

The gray wind suddenly blew in, making people breathe.

When I opened the door, there was a dim light in the room. By the light, the three of them saw what was going on inside the house.

Except for where they slept, a thick layer of ash had basically fallen off, and a lot of sand and dust was leaking from the roof.

The people of the Rain tribe were quite thoughtful, and on the top of the plank bed, near the roof, a layer of straw mats was covered, and the dust leaking from the roof fell onto the straw mats.

"No wonder I heard the sound last night. It was so noisy that I didn't even sleep well. Ray looked inside the room and yawned.

People who often hunt in the mountains and forests will definitely not sleep deeply, and the slightest movement can alert them, even if it is the sound of dust falling on the ground, in the quiet of the night. They can hear very clearly with their ears.

"In this weather, can we still go?" asked Tuo.

"I shouldn't be able to leave. Shao Xuan heard the sound of approaching footsteps outside the house.

Soon, the figure of the spring leaf appeared at the door of their house.

"The team rested here for two days and then set off when the weather was a little better. Renoha said to the three of them.

"Okay, got it. Shao Xuan responded.

"Also, be careful. Every time this kind of sand and dust weather in this area, something will come out to prevent it. "Sūba had planned to warn these young warriors who came to this place for the first time, by the way, to make things more strict, and to make those creatures more terrifying, so that these young warriors who are easy to make mistakes and love to take things lightly will be alert.

However, as he spoke, he noticed that the atmosphere next to him was not right, and he looked up. Three pairs of shiny eyes. Somehow, I can't go on with the rest of the words.

After thinking about it, the spring blade suddenly appeared.

Yes, the people of the Flame Horn are different from the people of other tribes, how can these people of the Flame Horn, who live next to the beasts, be afraid of those creatures that suddenly appear?

What Reed Ye expected was really right, Shao Xuan and the three of them were really thinking about catching a few of these beasts now to change their taste. The Flamehorn people still love meat very much, and those hard dough cakes really don't give them enough energy.

Rei sighed. Anyway, his words were brought to him, and he turned around and went to another cabin to inform someone.

Shao Xuan looked at the sky outside, and in the distance, there was a dinging sound from the rain tribe, because there was too much sand and dust, and he couldn't see the situation over there. But according to what Yang Sui said. It was an altar for rain.

Thinking of begging for rain, Shao Xuan sighed, and was about to close the door, when he suddenly had a pause in hand. Behind him, Lei and Tuo also stopped what they were doing, and the eyes of the three of them swept to the place near the wooden table in the room.

A thick layer of sand fell from the side of the table legs. And now, the surface of that layer of sand and dust is slightly raised, and it is still moving, and it is clear that there is something underneath this dust.

Ray and Tuo glanced at each other and moved almost at the same time.

"Mine!"

"Whoever grabs it is whoever's!"

The creature beneath the layer of sand and dust sensed the danger approaching, and suddenly picked up speed and rushed towards the outside of the house.

Shao Xuan saw an earth-colored slender figure flash through the door, rushing under the sand outside.

"It's a snake!" Shao Xuan reminded the two to be careful. In such a place, snakes always have their ability to protect themselves, and they may be highly poisonous.

Lei and Tuo were still a little restrained in the house, afraid that the house would be destroyed and there would be no place to live, and now that the snake had run out, they were overjoyed and rushed out of the door.

The snake under the dust was originally buried inside, but as Thunder and Tuo quickly approached, it also suddenly ejected like a spring. It was a snake about a meter long with a thumb. It erected its front and opened its mouth, revealing two fangs. Venom erupts.

Snort –

Shao Xuan could hear the sound of venom corroding the sand and dust when he stood at the door.

Tuo took the first step to cut off the head of the snake, and after cutting off the head of the snake, he also slapped it flat with a knife. When they were in the mountains and forests, they would use this way when they caught snakes, because some snakes bite people after their heads were cut off, and after learning a lesson, every time they encounter snakes, no matter what kind of snake they are, they use this way to prevent future troubles.

"Ha, mine!" he said, grabbing the headless snake body in his hand and waving it toward Thunder.

Ray didn't even look over there, as if he was listening to something. Turning and taking two steps back, he jumped up, his muscles tense under the totem pattern that covered half of his arm. Swinging his arm, he swung the stone knife in his hand and slashed down with great force.

Boom!

The hard dirt ground exploded, and a figure sprang out quickly from the flying clods of dirt and the dust raised.

Shao Xuan's gaze froze at the creature that rushed out.

Pangolin?

No, the creature looked much thicker than the pangolin's scales, and its body was more elongated, nearly two meters, and its body was about the same color as dirt, with a sandy yellow tinge. They are not slow to move because they are covered in a layer of hard armor, on the contrary, they are very agile.

The creature had been looking for a chance to run away, or burrow into the ground, but neither Thunder nor Tuo gave it a chance. Under the combined hands of Thunder and Tuo, it didn't last more than three breaths before it was cut down.

Instead of staying outside for long, Ray dragged the creature and hurried to peel it. It's the first time I've seen a creature like this, but I've seen something like it before. It is not rusty to peel it off, and it will be dealt with in three or two clicks, and it is not expected that there will be extra water to clean, Lei carried it and walked towards the house, and today their food is guaranteed. That layer of hard armor was not left, and it was possible to defend yourself by handling it.

They'd like to catch another one. It's a pity that the movement just now is too big, even if there is still underground, I have avoided it, so I can only wait and see.

Lei Hetuo's movement caused the surrounding people who were originally staying in the house to rest to open their windows or doors one after another, and saw what had just happened outside.

Shao Xuan didn't make a move just now, just to guard against others, not just those in the team. There are also some people from the Rain tribe nearby. Not everyone in the Rain Tribe is friendly to them. Someone wanted to come over and grab it just now, but when they saw Shao Xuan staring at them, they didn't make a move.

After Shao Xuan and the three of them entered the house, the others withdrew their gaze.

"The people of the Yanjiao tribe are really ......," someone said in one room.

It's really true, everyone thinks differently.

Shao Xuan and the three of them lit a fire in the house and simply roasted the beast meat, although the meat was not delicious. There was still a lot of sand, but it was much better than those hard dough cakes.

After eating some. Shao Xuan planned to go out.

Lei Hetuo now knew that Shao Xuan knew the current witch of the Rain Tribe, so he didn't say much, and began to rest after eating. I thought I'd wake up and look outside to see if I could catch another one or two.

Against the wind and sand, Shao Xuan went to the small hill from yesterday.

Yang Sui still stayed in the wooden house, holding a cow's tail in his hand in a daze. I came here early in the morning. A layer of ash has fallen from his body.

"Why do you use ox tails when you ask for rain?" Shao Xuan walked in and asked.

Hearing Shao Xuan's question, Yang Sui came back to his senses, looked at Shao Xuan, and shook the oxtail in his hand. I didn't hide it, this is not a very important secret.

"It is said that in the early days the ancestors prayed for rain and offered sacrifices with stones, which were not ordinary stones, but a type of stone called rain stones, and if you dig in the nearby mountains, you can dig some of them. It's black, and it's cool on a hot day. The rain stones we use to ask for rain are almost all one person high, and when we ask for rain, we hold the oxtail in our hands and use it as a whip to whip the rain stones. ”

"Can you get rain?" asked Shao Xuan.

"It also has a sacrificial dance, but that's all auxiliary. Whipstone for rain is indeed the earliest way for the ancestors to ask for rain. But later, I don't know when, the way of asking for rain changed. The ancestors said that behind the rain stone, there are even more ancient ancestral spirits, which are the protectors of the tribe's wind and rain, agricultural harvest, and can eliminate diseases and disasters. Everyone began to fear the rain stones, and in order to ensure the prosperity of the tribe, they should no longer whip the rain stones, otherwise they would find disaster. The whip does not live!"

When Yang Sui said this, his tone was a little ironic, not that he didn't respect the ancestors, but just doubted some things. And these doubts, ordinary people do not dare, and they will not think much about it, only those who have the deepest contact will investigate deeply.

The so-called "whip does not live" is probably because the matter of praying for rain is too consuming to inherit the power of inheritance, and some needs to be sacrificed as a price. Slightly weaker people will be exhausted if they ask for rain once, plus what Yang Sui said, it is getting harder and harder to ask for rain, and Wu naturally has to bear a great psychological burden, after all, in the rain tribe, he has burned Wu to death. Under the double pressure of physical and psychological, it is strange to be comfortable, if you have a weak physique, you can be squeezed out of all your body and burp at one time to ask for rain.

"Then why don't you use the oxtail now if you don't whip the stone for rain?" Shao Xuan pointed to the oxtail in Yangsui's hand.

"It's a please. Ask the ancestors, beg the gods, to forgive us for our sins. The oxtail whip is offered to pay for the sin. Yang Sui flicked the tail of the ox in his hand casually, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: "I heard that there was once a witch who was whipped by the gods after begging for rain. ”

Shao Xuan's face twitched.

So, begging for rain is the transition from "can't it rain, whip you if it doesn't rain" to "beg for whipping and begging for rain"? The people of the rain tribe play the S/M game of whipping and begging for whipping with their rain god? (To be continued......
