Chapter 6: The Tide of Beasts
In a blink of an eye, the ice and snow gradually melted, and the snow melted cold, cold to the bone, but this cold could not stop the eagerness in people's hearts, because it heralded the arrival of early spring.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Qin Yi stood quietly with his eyes closed in the open space at the door of his house, and every thirty seconds, two lines of white gas erupted from his nostrils, very regularly. And if you look closely, you can see that the lower right side of his abdomen is gently undulating.
Three months ago, Qin Yi had read the handwriting of the old ancestor Qinglong, which was of little use to him, how could there be a thorough study of various organs of the human body in the high-tech era of the previous life, so he only watched it once, and then ignored it, and still walked according to his own cultivation rhythm.
In cultivation, time passed unconsciously.
At this moment, a crisp bird-like voice sounded.
"Brother, my mother has called you to eat!" I saw a cute girl about six or seven years old, who opened the lightly covered door and shouted to Qin Yi in the clearing.
This lovely girl with a beautiful voice is Qin Yi's fourth sister, Qingmeng.
Qin Yi heard Qing Meng's shout, slowly opened his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, turned to Qing Meng and smiled slightly, "What?
"Hmph!" Qing Meng looked at Qin Yi, who was half a head taller than her, couldn't help but puff out her eyes and glared at Qin Yi, and then slammed the door shut.
Qin Yi smiled, walked into the house, and saw his mother Shui Yue and the two sisters standing, as if they were waiting for him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said to the three of them: "Mother, didn't I say it?
Qin Yi looked at his father Qing Lei who was sitting on the top seat, and knew that it was definitely not Qing Lei who asked for it, because when he proposed this change to Qing Lei, Qing Lei did not object in the slightest, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Hehe, your mother is used to it, she can't change it!" Qinglei said with a smile, and then looked at Qingyu and the other three daughters, and said: "Don't worry about this, even if it's okay at home, but your sister and they don't want to get married?"
"Yes, don't worry about this, you have this heart, and your mother and your sister will be very happy. Shui Yue smiled happily, she had become accustomed to Qin Yi's appearance as a little adult in the past two or three months, and she didn't treat Qin Yi as a child at all.
Qin thought about it, this is the rule of this world, no matter how you can say it, just change it, just act according to habits, there is no need to force it, after all, it is not a big deal.
"By the way, how is your cultivation lately?" Qing Lei picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup, then asked.
"It's okay! Now it's a coward!" Qin Yi picked up a piece of meatloaf and ate it with the clear soup.
"Good boy, your father and I have just learned how to refine my guts with this Silver Star Grass, but I didn't expect your kid to be so small!" Qing Lei looked at Qin Yi happily.
Qin Yi didn't feel that it was too difficult, first, he had a very high martial arts talent in his previous life, coupled with nearly eighty years of experience, and he also had a soul heart, this cheat that can scan the state of the body is here, what is there to surprise about this progress, it is just unsatisfactory.
"Dad, my younger brother is the first day of the tribe, how can you compare with him!" the second sister Qingxue joked with a smile, and she was also happy for Qin Yi's progress.
The family just talked and laughed and ate, which was very warm.
Suddenly-
"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"
The low drum beat suddenly resounded throughout the tribe, giving people a depressing and dull feeling.
"Huh~~" Qing Lei stood up suddenly, and without saying a word, he immediately took the thick-backed machete hanging on the wall.
Seeing this, Qin Yi asked repeatedly, "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Beast tide, you and your mother and they should hide in the cellar!" replied Qing Lei with a sinking face, and then opened the door directly and walked out.
Hearing this, Qin Yi's face also changed.
However, he didn't say nonsense like going with him, not to mention that his current strength is at most equivalent to the peak of the four body realms, that is, a thousand catties of strength, and more importantly, the body has not grown, and it can't be used at all, and it will be useless to go, but it will become the weakness of Qinglei.
"Come with me!" Shui Yue couldn't take care of the dishes and chopsticks, pulled Qin Yi, and walked towards the back room.
After Shui Yue walked to the side of the stone bed in the inner room, she let go of Qin Yi and pushed the stone bed hard.
As soon as Qin saw it, he also hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Qingxue, Qinghu, and Qingmeng also helped push until the entire bed was removed, revealing an underground entrance one meter square.
The entrance has a rough staircase, which stretches all the way, blocked by darkness, and there is no end in sight, like an abyss, which makes people dare not set foot for a while.
Then, Qin Yi and his children walked down the stairs under the urging of Shui Yue.
Qin Yi was the last of the four children to enter, and after he entered, he did not continue to go deeper, but turned his head to look at Shui Yue.
"What's the matter, go in!" Shui Yue saw Qin Yi standing in the middle of the stairs, and Qin Yi's face could still be seen from the outside, especially those bright and divine eyes, looking at her quietly, making her smile: "You are really a little ghost, don't worry, my mother will come in." ”
With that, Shui Yue walked in.
Seeing this, Qin also continued to walk down, and then saw Shui Yue stop again, and he couldn't help but stop.
However, it was obvious that Qin Yi was thinking too much. Shui Yue was turning a T-shaped turntable vigorously at this time, and with each turn, the stone bed above closed for a minute, obviously a small mechanism.
"Do you want me to help?" Qin Yi said.
"No, it doesn't take a lot of force, it's much easier than pushing from the outside. Shui Yue said with relief.
"Hmm!" Qin nodded slightly, knowing that when he got to this, Shui Yue would not go out alone, so he continued to go down.
As he went deeper, he found that this cellar was really deep enough, and he couldn't help but secretly say, "I'm afraid it's ten meters, right?"
After walking for a short while, a firelight suddenly lit up in front of them, obviously made by Qingxue, who had taken a step ahead. He also estimated that the cellar was about fifteen meters deep from the ground.
Qin Yi came to the cellar, glanced at it by the light of the fire, and found that the cellar was not large, only about fifteen square meters, and the reserves of food and water were also very small, obviously not for long-term refuge.
As soon as Qin Yi touched a little information, Shui Yue also came down, so he also planned to ask directly about the situation.
"Mother, what's going on with the beast tide, how often, and how dangerous is it?"
Shui Yue saw Qin Yi's several questions like a series of cannons, smiled, pointed to a few stone piers next to him, and said, "Sit down, and Qingxue, you all sit, you have all grown up, and my mother will also tell you about the biggest threat to our tribes." ”
Several people sat down as they said and looked at Shui Yue quietly.
"You just heard the drum beat of the warning, right?" asked Suizuki a question.
A few people nodded.
"Did you hear a few sounds?" asked Suizuki next.
"Three sounds!" Qingmeng hurriedly replied.
Obviously, the sound of the drum just now is very clear and deeply impressive.
"Hmm!" Shui Yue nodded, then looked at a few people and said, "The tribe's early warning drum is divided into three levels, which are three, six, and nine. ”
"Like the three sounds this time, it represents a small beast tide, the tribe will be damaged, but there will be no big threat, about once every ten years, counting, this time it has been ten years since the last time combined. ”
"And the six sounds are medium-sized beast tides, this kind of beast tide is generally very huge even if it resists success, and the slightest carelessness is the disaster of extermination, this kind of beast tide is about once in 50 years, and the mother encountered it once when she was so big with Qingxue, and that time the water curtain tribe where the mother was almost wiped out, and there was no one in ten. Speaking of this, it obviously aroused Shui Yue's sadness, and under the light of the fire, he obviously felt that Shui Yue's eyes were a little red.
"Ten don't save one?" Qin Yi was puzzled, frowned and asked, "Mother, can't you hide in the cellar like us, how can there be such a big casualty?"
Shui Yue saw Qin Yi frowning, looking like a little adult, her mood was a lot more relaxed, she touched Qin Yi's head, shook her head and said: "Medium-sized beast tide, all clansmen over the age of fifteen must participate in the war, because even if they hide, there is a great chance of being found by fierce beasts, their noses are more spiritual than ours, even if they hide underground, it is difficult to escape, so they must resist with all their strength to have a way to survive." ”
Speaking of this, Shui Yue looked at Qin Yi and the others, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke: "And even if it fails in the end, the blood breath can also block the nose of the fierce beast very well, so that those clansmen who are hiding can dodge." ”
"So, you have to do your best!"
"Isn't that big beast tide ......" Qin Yi frowned.
"Very few tribes can resist large beast tides, and it is basically impossible for a tribe like ours to resist, so we can only pray that the tribal inheritance can continue to extinct , even if it is good. Shui Yue said with sadness.
After Shui Yue finished speaking, there was silence in the cellar, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Seeing this, Shui Yue smiled and said, "Okay, the large-scale beast tide will happen once in more than a hundred years, and my mother has never seen it, maybe we won't see it in our lifetime! ”
"Well, I just don't know how Sister Qingyu is doing in the Water Curtain Tribe, I haven't seen her for two years. Qingxue heard Shui Yue's words, let go a lot, and spoke.
"It's okay, your sister Qingyu's husband is the youngest son of his cousin, and he is also well-known in the Water Curtain Tribe! Shui Yue smiled.
"Hmph! There is no younger brother genius in genius. Qingmeng obviously recovered, hearing Shui Yue praise Qingyu's husband for his genius, she immediately disagreed, although she usually loves to go against Qin Yi, but in this position, there is no doubt that she is on Qin Yi's side.
"Yes, yes, there is no genius of your brother, seeing that you usually fight with your brother, I thought you didn't like your brother!" Shui Yuexiao looked at Qingmeng with a swagger, and then looked at Qin Yi, seeing Qin Yi's little look of having something on his mind, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Qingyi, what do you want?"
"Uh-huh! Didn't think about anything. As soon as Qin came back to his senses, he was really thinking about things just now, and he also analyzed a lot of bad things from his mother Shui Yue's words just now.
"The bluestone tribe can't resist the large beast tide, and now the bluestone tribe has existed for nearly a hundred years, plus the large beast tide once in more than a hundred years, the combination of these three points, it is easy to judge that the time for the arrival of the large beast tide is estimated to be fast, maybe a few years, maybe ten years, or twenty or thirty years, it is estimated that I will definitely not be able to hide, and there are relatives here in my life, and I don't want to hide. Qin must have calmed down, looked at his mother Shui Yue and the three elder sisters, and secretly made up his mind in his heart: "It seems that you will have to be serious in your cultivation in the future, and you should clearly formulate your future cultivation plan." ”
