Chapter 44: The Witch's Divination
When Ye Xi and the others walked back to the cave with a smile, they found Wu standing at the mouth of the cave with a bone staff.
Wu's expression was very solemn.
The crowd immediately stopped laughing and turned on their faces.
"Wu!" everyone saluted in unison.
Wu nodded slightly, still without a smile, and if you look closely, Wu's face even shows a touch of paleness.
Ye Xi sighed in his heart, could it be ...... Is the divination a result?
Wu slowly glanced at the clansmen in front of him.
Everyone was affected by Wu's serious eyes, and their hearts that had just been raised by setting traps gradually fell.
Wu finally spoke, his voice old but powerful: "You are all here, just now, I have something to tell you." ”
Everyone looked at each other, it was rare to see Wu so serious about announcing things, what was going on?
"Everyone knows that yesterday our trialists encountered a pure-blooded beast in the jungle. ”
As soon as Wu's words fell, everyone's faces immediately appeared with excitement, and they frequently looked at Ye Xi. That powerful pure-blooded beast had just been slaughtered by their witch disciples.
Wu Wei sighed invisibly and said, "Everyone knows that there are usually no pure-blooded fierce beasts around our tribe, and the appearance of that fierce bird is not accidental. ”
Hearing Wu say this, the crowd was in a bit of a commotion.
Pure-blooded beasts are very rare, they generally have their own territory and live elsewhere, this time such a sudden appearance around the tribe is actually a little strange for everyone, but most people think it is an accident and do not think deeply.
After hearing Wu say this, some people below began to discuss in a low voice, speculating whether other tribes had deliberately attracted it with sinister intentions.
Although there are few pure-blooded beasts, they can still be found if they take the trouble to find them, and if they are deliberately attracted by other tribesmen, then this hatred is really big.
Wu heard their discussion, but did not answer their speculation, and instead looked at Yongdao in the crowd: "The people of the hunting team should have found out, in fact, there are more and more murderous creatures in the jungle these days. ”
People also set their eyes on Yong, the captain of the hunting party.
Yong's face was solemn, and he nodded under the gaze of everyone.
"There are also creatures in the jungle that are only found in the eastern part of the Black Ridge Mountains, and just yesterday, a pure-blooded beast even appeared to attack our people. ”
"This pure-blooded beast, called Qingling Eagle, is also a creature that only appears in the west. ”
"Something is very wrong in the jungle, so I did a divination today. ”
Everyone held their breath and looked nervously at Wu, quietly waiting for the result.
"The result of divination is evil. ”
The crowd froze in place.
There are only a few ignorant children who are secretly playing around and making small movements.
Wu had already predicted that the clansmen would panic, and his expression remained unchanged: "In the next few days, there will be more and more fierce creatures running from the east, and the jungle will become more and more dangerous. A pure-blooded beast like yesterday's, or even a creature more powerful than it, could also appear. ”
Rumble.
The crowd could not stand.
The panic began to spread.
Many women's bodies shook slightly in fear, and their shoulders were held by their husbands next to them.
The woman seemed to have found a lean, and her heart was a little calmer, but she did not notice that her husband's hands were also trembling slightly.
To the west of the Black Ridge Mountains is a forbidden place.
All of what everyone knows about it is through rumors passed down from the big tribes or ancestors, and the warriors who have actually crossed the Black Ridge Mountains to the other side are very few among so many tribes over the years.
But legend has it that there are many exotic flowers and plants over there, but there are also many powerful creatures. Pure-blooded beasts that don't appear much to the east of them abound over there.
Just like the fierce bird that appeared yesterday, it is equivalent to a third-level warrior!
Tu Shan's entire tribe is the chief and Pu Tai, two second-level warriors, if there are more such fierce creatures, how can Tu Shan resist?
Although everyone was proud and excited that Ye Xi had successfully shot the pure-blooded beast, in fact, each of them knew in their hearts how much luck was accounted for in this.
Even Pu Tai and Ye Xi almost couldn't come back because of this.
In the crowd, the chief and Yong glanced at each other, and both had worries in each other's eyes.
Wu stood straight with a bone cane, although his face was old and thin, but the whole person looked like a green pine rooted in the cliff, old but strong.
Wu stood there, his expression fixed and allowed his people to discuss in a restless whisper, his eyes calm and unwavering.
As if nothing would make the old man look panicked.
The tide of discussion gradually receded, and everyone looked at Wu again.
Wu's expression was indifferent, as if he had just announced a trivial matter.
The familiar figure, which seemed to be calm and calm at all times, gradually restored the peace of the clansmen.
Wu is the belief of the tribe.
In the silence, Wu Shen said: "Don't panic, the situation of the murderous beasts moving west is only a short-term phenomenon, Tu Shan only needs to be cautious and not enter the jungle, and he can survive this turmoil safely." ”
"From today onwards, the Tushan tribe will be under full martial law, and no one is allowed to go out unless there are special circumstances. ”
"We have enough food to worry about starvation, as long as we stay in the tribe, we are safe. ”
"In order to get through this period safely, everyone is taking care to reduce their consumption of food and water from now on. ”
"As long as you are careful, Tu Shan will not suffer any losses in this turmoil. ”
"Yes, Wu. The crowd answered in order.
The crowd disbanded.
Despite the witch's reassurance, everyone's faces were still worried.
After all, it is a great upheaval.
Many women began to look out into the jungle, fearing that something would come out of it.
After listening to Wu's words, some men ran up Xiaotu Mountain, wanting to look down from the top of the mountain to see if there were more murderous creatures around.
There were two young children who were not sensible, and when the crowd dispersed, they began to chase and fight with a smile, and when they were about to run out of the clearing, they were picked up by their respective Eminem and spanked hard.
There was a buffer zone between the jungle and the clearing, which would have been safe, and the women would not have cared if the children went there to play, but at this moment, they looked nervous and stern, and reprimanded their children harshly. Tell them that they can only play in open spaces and caves in the future, and they are not allowed to run half a step.
The children were beaten coldly, and they cried loudly, and they were frightened by their stern expression, so they stopped crying and sobbed and nodded in agreement.
After the crowd dispersed, Wu glanced at the chief and turned to walk towards the cave.
The chief hastened to follow.
The two walked to a hidden place in the cave.
Ye Xi noticed the movements of the two and followed without hesitation, standing around the corner at a distance, hiding himself with a rock wall.
The chief noticed it and glanced in his direction. Seeing that the distance was still too far, I didn't care about it anymore.
Chief: "Are those murderous creatures really going to recede after a while?"
Wu looked at the chieftain with admiration for his acuity: "You guessed. ”
"Maybe, maybe not. ”
