A few days later.

When Ye Xi dragged his prey back from the prairie, he found that the chief of the Aphid and the chief of the Ye tribe had actually come to their tribe together.

They stood by the stream with solemn expressions, discussing something with Tu Shan Wu, the chief of Tu Mountain, and everyone frowned slightly, as if they had encountered some big trouble.

Chief Tu Shan was the first to spot Ye Xi and beckoned to him from afar, telling him to come over quickly.

Ye Xi handed over the prey to a clansman and walked towards them.

"Did something happen?" Ye Xi asked as he walked to the creek.

Chief Ye sighed lightly, and said with a strange expression: "White Turtle Tribe, their entire tribe has all disappeared!"

White Turtle Tribe...... All gone?!

Ye Xi's heart shook slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Have they been united by other tribes to exterminate the clan?"

The White Turtle Tribe is so powerful that even the Kurosawa Tribe cannot swallow it alone, unless several tribes unite and attack it together.

"Nope. "I heard that there are no traces of a fight there, and there is no blood, it doesn't look like it has been breached." ”

Ye Xi frowned and said, "Do you think...... Did the White Turtle Tribe choose to leave on its own?"

The two chiefs did not speak, apparently acquiescing.

"Why?"

Chief Ye sighed: "We don't know, we heard all this news from others, and we plan to go over there to take a look in person later." ”

Ye Xi felt that this matter was very strange, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he said, "Since this is the case, let's leave now!"

"Good. ”

Several chiefs nodded in unison.

The three chiefs rode the Tushan Dire Beast, and Ye Xi rode the Jiaojiao, and rushed to the White Turtle Tribe together.

A few hours later, they arrived at the White Turtle Tribe.

At this time, other tribes also heard the news and sent people to the White Turtle Tribe to check, these people had just come down from the top of the mountain, and their faces were also heavy. Seeing them, they didn't say hello, and rode away on their respective mounts.

The clearings of White Turtle Mountain are full of sparse fallen leaves.

The mountain wind blew in gusts, rolling up the fallen leaves, and swirling around on the ground, looking a little desolate.

Suddenly, Ye Xi felt something blown on his face, he reached out and twisted it down, rubbed it with his fingers, and found that it was actually the ashes of the grass that had been burned.

He jumped down from the head of the Jiaojiao and looked around.

Suddenly, the chief of Tushan seemed to have noticed something, pointed to the halfway point of the mountain, and shouted to them: "Look! there's a turtle shell hanging here!"

Ye Xi raised his head and followed the direction he pointed, and found that there was a huge white turtle shell hanging on the mountain wall, and on the white turtle shell, there were still a few words written on it.

He had excellent eyesight, and he could make out at a glance that they were a few crookedly carved witch characters.

After Ye Xi recognized these witch words, his heart sank suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Chief Ye noticed that something was wrong with Ye Xi's expression.

The other two chiefs also looked at Ye Xi.

"There are a few witch characters written on the turtle shell, which means ......" Ye Xi looked up at the turtle shell directly, and said word by word:

"-Big murderer, run away!"

The three chiefs gasped.

"Are you sure, that's what these witch words mean?" Chief Ye hurriedly asked when he came back to his senses. Ye Xi is not a witch, how can he recognize it at a glance.

Ye Xi nodded affirmatively.

The others no longer have any doubts, they believe in Ye Xi's personality and believe that he will not talk nonsense.

"The White Turtle Tribe deliberately left this turtle shell with the word witch written on it, it must have been left for others to see. Chief Tushan muttered to himself.

"Could it be that the White Turtle Tribe is warning us of danger and telling us to flee quickly?" the Aphid Chief's eyes widened.

Chief Ye's face was grim: "It can't be ruled out that the White Turtle Tribe itself suffered a big murderer, so they fled first." ”

Several people were silent for a while, and these words cast a faint shadow in their hearts.

After a while, Chief Tushan was the first to break the silence, he looked at the top of the mountain and said, "I'll go to the mountain to have a look." ”

The stone houses of the White Turtle Tribe are very strong, and the White Turtle people rely on their own strength, even in the dry season, they will live on the stone houses on the top of the mountain, and he wants to go to the mountain to see if there are any clues.

"I'll go too!"

"I'll go too!"

Chief Aphid and Chief Ye said in unison.

Ye Xi turned his head to look at the dark entrance of the cave and said, "Go ahead, I'll go to that cave and have a look." ”

The ashes were clearly blown out of this cave.

Several people split up, and the three chiefs went to the top of the mountain. Ye Xi took out the flint he carried with him, put on special gloves and rubbed it, then held the flint that burned into a ball of fire, and bent down and stepped into the low cave entrance.

As soon as he stepped into this cave, Ye Xi felt that something was wrong, he squatted on the ground and touched the ground with his hands, and found that the tentacles were cold, smooth as metal, and people couldn't tell what material it was.

And the entire floor of the cave is paved with this special material, which is staggeringly extravagant.

The further he went, the more strange Ye Xi felt.

The middle of the cave is completely hollowed out, there is not a single pillar, and it is still flattened. How did this not collapse at all?

Whew, whew......

The wind blew from the light at both ends.

Ye Xi was confused by the wind that carried the ashes.

"It's strange, how can there be so much grass ash......" Ye Xi shone the surroundings with a flint fireball, and found that the ground around him was full of these ashes. The ashes were swept into a pile by the wind, looking like tin foil ash behind the grave, and it was strange in the dark cave.

Ye Xi stopped in place.

He closed his eyes and began to think, muttering: "White Turtle Tribe, White Turtle, Grass Ash, White Turtle People, White Turtle Witch ......"

"This is yarrow ashes!" Ye Xi was full of excitement, suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately understood what these ashes were.

He held up the flint fireball, looking at so many yarrow ashes on the ground, only to feel a chill rushing up the soles of his feet, and goosebumps on his arms all rose.

"With so many yarrow ashes, what a huge divination must have been done here!"

Ye Xi thought of the few witch characters written on the white turtle shell hanging on the mountainside, and only felt a chill surge.

Because he accepted the inheritance of Xia Cang's ancestral witch, he also knew something about Bu Wu. The so-called small things are divided, and big things are divided. When it comes to unpredictable events, use both.

Since the White Turtle Witch uses so much yarrow for "Zong", there is no reason not to "divide".

The so-called turtle is divination, which means "burning the turtle and observing the omen", that is, burning the turtle shell with fire and looking at the cracks on the turtle shell to determine the good fortune.

So there should be a burnt turtle shell here, and it should be a very large turtle shell, otherwise it wouldn't be able to match so many yarrow ashes.

But Ye Xi looked down for a long time in this empty cave, not to mention the tortoise shell, and he couldn't find even a fragment of tortoise shell.

"How come?" Ye Xi couldn't figure out.

The wind was blowing from the two ends of the light, Ye Xi looked up at the front, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked back at the light behind him.

The shape of these two openings, the touch of this ground...... Could this cave be it?

Ye Xi was startled by the crazy thought in his mind, he calmed down, raised the flint fireball, and began to look up at the dome.

As a result, he really saw a crack in the dome!

Ye Xi's body began to tremble slightly.

This cave is an empty giant tortoise shell! Unbelievable! What a huge giant tortoise it must be!!

Unthinkable!

Ye Xi suppressed his excitement and held the flint fireball high, illuminating the dome inch by inch.

After reading all the crack patterns, Ye Xi squatted on the ground, stood with his fingers on the yarrow ashes, and drew the entire dome crack.

Xia Cang's level of Zhu Wu is not only proficient in blessings, but also involved in medicine, divination, spells, and the other three ways. But the knowledge passed on to him by Xia Cang's ancestor was so vast that Ye Xi couldn't think of what this pattern meant for a while.

He crouched on the ground and frowned at the crack pattern as he quickly flipped through the memories of the inheritance in his mind.

In the end, he finally found the meaning of this crack......

The murderer of the great.

A terrible omen.

"—Ye Xi!" Chief Tushan's deep voice came, echoing in the cave.

Ye Xi suddenly woke up from a nightmare, and a spirit stood up from the ground.

Because Ye Xi had been holding the flint fireball, the other three chiefs quickly found Ye Xi in the cave and strode towards him.

Chief Ye sighed and said, "We saw that those stone houses were all empty on the top of the mountain, and we could see that they had indeed evacuated by themselves, and there was no food left in store, so they should have all taken them away." How's that, do you find anything here?"

"Yes. Ye Xi nodded, pointed to the whirling ashes on the ground and said, "These are yarrow ashes for divination, looking at the number of ashes, it means that a great divination ceremony was held here." ”

"And the top of our heads. Ye Xi pointed to the dome and said, "There are still cracks left after the divination." ”

"I know a little bit about divination, and the crack is a sign that the divination is going to be very bad. ”

"If the White Turtle Witch divination is the future of the White Turtle Tribe, it means that the White Turtle Tribe will be wiped out. And if the divination is a person's good fortune, it means that that person will not escape the catastrophe. ”

Chief Tu Shan thought of the turtle shell hanging outside, and frowned: "Then what if he is divining not a certain person, or the White Turtle Tribe itself, but another tribe? Or is he divining the entire area of our Black Ridge Mountain Range?"

Ye Xi was silent for a moment.

“...... That's the end of it. ”
