Chapter 273: Hey, I'm in the way
Can you eat these in the box?
No.
However, these are extremely precious spiritual food for the tribe, and the old man would rather starve to death than throw them away. Like these people who willingly stayed here and died.
After thinking carefully, Shao Xuan decided to leave these here for the time being, and when he returned, he would call some people to come over and bring back the remains of the ancestors and these "histories" that were important to the tribe.
There are too many things, too precious, Shao Xuan himself plus chirping, there is no guarantee that he can bring all these things back intact, if he encounters a troublesome beast, not to mention bringing people and boxes back, it is possible to lose them. This risk cannot be taken.
The strange power that had been stored in the cave before was gone, and may not reappear, and its mission to protect it was complete.
In order to prevent other creatures from coming in to destroy the remains of the ancestors and those precious "histories" after that power disappears, before Shao Xuan left, he set up some traps at the entrance of the cave, and went to the mountains and forests to find a lot of insect-proof plants to sprinkle in the cave. The bear was much bigger than the two he had seen in his old place.
Sure enough, the deeper you go into the mountains and forests, the stronger the beast becomes.
After taking care of the things in the cave, Shao Xuan left and went in the direction where he was told.
The original goal of this time was to find the stone that Chirp found, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest. It's not in vain to go far away.
More than half of the stone I found was embedded in the mountain wall, which was slightly different in color and hardness from the surrounding area. There are scratches and smashes caused by various animals or other natural phenomena on the surrounding stone walls, but there are very few on this stone.
"Yes, yes!"
It took Shao Xuan some time to dig out the stone. The hardness of the stone is good, at least it is a good stone. Large enough to stand on the ground, it is estimated to be nearly two meters tall and one meter wide. Oblong. Shao Xuan tried it, and the further he went, the harder the stone became. Fine stone is not easy to find. But it's not too rare, but the better stone, Shao Xuan cares, maybe the core of this stone can reach the best level.
He was out of stock, so he had to prepare some good stones and bring them back to polish into tools.
It is heavier than ordinary stones, but with the already dominant strength of the Yanjiao people, Shao Xuan can also carry the stone and trot. Just in the mountains and forests, the speed is much lower. Sometimes when encountering tricky ones, Shao Xuan has to throw the stone down first, and find an opportunity to come over and resist again.
It was a hard time to carry the stone back, but it was worth it to find one of these stones.
Because it takes a lot of energy to carry an extra stone. He still had to retain enough physical strength to deal with all kinds of creatures around him that might raid, and Shao Xuan didn't have time to study knotted rope divination this time.
Carrying a heavy stone. In the first few days, I was a little uncomfortable, but gradually I got used to it, and sometimes I could use this stone as a shield to block the attacks of those fierce beasts. Now the weight he can bear is getting bigger and bigger.
That's it, stop-and-go. By the time Shao Xuan returned to the tribe, twenty-nine days had passed since he left the tribe.
Shao Xuan didn't expect to leave for so long, he said that this time he didn't go out for three or five days, but he never thought that it would take nearly thirty days.
"Whew-"
Chirp flew down from the sky. shouted at Shao Xuan a few times.
"Are there outsiders in the tribe?" Shao Xuan wondered. Could it be from the Wanshi tribe?
But it doesn't look like a war now.
After a short rest, Shao Xuan picked up the stone he had just put down with one arm, and grabbed the dead prey with the other hand and walked towards the tribe.
The prey was a python, nearly twenty meters long, which Shao Xuan encountered when he woke up in the morning to look for food, and was almost attacked by a sneak attack, it took a little effort and time to get it done, thinking that he should be able to return to the tribe before dark, so he didn't throw away the python, and dragged the snake back by its tail. There are many snakes bigger than this in the mountains and forests, and Shao Xuan has seen a few snakes that are more than thirty or forty meters away when he goes out this time, but those Shao Xuan has always avoided them first, and he will not provoke them until he is fully prepared.
When I came to the border, I ran into the soldiers who were guarding here.
"Ah Xuan, I'm back! This time it's a good harvest!" a soldier said as he looked at Shao Xuan carrying and dragging it.
"Okay, how is the tribe now? Someone is coming?" asked Shao Xuan.
"Oh, you've been away for too long, you don't know. The warrior thought of something, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Some people came, I heard that they are from the big tribes in the middle of the country...... None of the people who have been hunting recently have gone out. ”
"No wonder I didn't meet all the way, it turned out that everyone didn't go out hunting. Shao Xuan understood and asked some people from the central part about it.
"I don't know why, I have to ask the witch and the chief, but I don't like those people, and their eyes seem to be in the sky. The man pouted and said.
Listening to what they said, Shao Xuan walked into the tribe. Now that the sun was about to set, he had to hurry back and catch up with dinner, and after eating in the morning, he didn't stop much except for two short breaks on the way.
The tribe looked a little different from when he left, the leaves of the trees had become thicker, and there was some farmland not far away, and the seedlings in the fields had grown a lot taller, and they had only sprouted when he left.
Because he was carrying a stone and dragging his prey, Shao Xuan did not go directly to a crowded place, and took a slight detour.
At this time, many people who came out to work had already called it a day and gone back, so there were not many people in the place where Shao Xuan passed.
As he walked, Shao Xuan heard someone talking in front of him, and the voice was very unfamiliar, more than one.
"Alas, that's why I said, this Yanjiao tribe, in fact, is just like that, it's not as exaggerated as others say!"
"Qu Ce and Xu also said that they are very powerful, but I don't think so. ”
"It's just that when I heard those rumors before, I thought they were all like monsters, but I was disappointed when I saw them. A delicate female voice said.
"Except for a little bit of strength, it's nothing special. What if you have more strength? Can you kill people with stones?" said the man, who couldn't help but laugh.
The others also thought it was funny and laughed.
The man became energetic and continued: "How do you say they can fight with a stone? This way? This is still the case? Hey, I've seen it before, hahaha!"
However, he soon noticed that everyone's laughter had stopped, and the atmosphere was a little strange. He heard a sound approaching behind him, but he didn't care, even if he was heard by the people of the Yanjiao tribe? It's just that everyone is stiff one by one, as if they have seen something incredible, and there is a person who has a good relationship squeezing his eyes at him and motioning him to look behind him.
The sun was setting in front of him, and he couldn't tell from the shadow who was behind him. Just as he was thinking about whether to turn around and take a look, he heard a voice behind him:
"Hey, it's in the way. ”
Shao Xuan looked at the person who was blocking the road with feathers of various colors on his head, standing there in the posture of a monkey holding a watermelon, and thought: Where did this come from.
The person in front of the road turned around, and the first thing he saw was a large rock, and the pressure was quite great, and he couldn't help but move to the side.
Shao Xuan didn't say much, he dragged the snake with the stone and walked towards the house, glanced at the few people present, and didn't find anyone who knew him, so he didn't look at it anymore, and he would wait until he was full to eat, anyway, these people wouldn't leave for a while. He was hungry now, and he was thinking about going back and roasting the snake or boiling it.
Looking at the people who left as if nothing happened, several young people standing in place were silent for a long time before someone asked, "Who is the person who passed by just now?"
The others didn't answer, and they didn't know.
They had only one thought at the moment:, the man just now looked like they were about the same age, and he had great strength! It seemed that he was not carrying a big rock, but just a bucket, and the drag in his hand was not a big python, but a dead fish. Footsteps...... It's pretty brisk. (To be continued......)
