"Chapter 2"

"Crackling ......"

The keyboard in the study was tapping,

The slight sound of the air conditioner dispels some of the summer heat,

Sunlight shines through and on the window.

After washing, Ji Zhuo sat in front of the computer,

A new chapter has been raised,

Begin to write the story of the second chapter of the Imperial Epic.

The story of the second chapter is naturally connected to the story of the first chapter,

However, there has been a change in time, and at the same time the protagonist has changed.

The protagonists of the second chapter are no longer the Kaki and the tribe of the Kaki,

It's the cave sheep that appeared in the first chapter.

However, the cave sheep himself has another name for himself, the Weiss people.

The Weiss people basically live on a vegetarian diet, although they also have a high level of intelligence far beyond that of other animals.

However, they are vegetarians and rarely lack food, so in the case of low survival pressure, their use of their own wisdom and the development of the group are relatively slow.

Until the catastrophe that befell Mother Earth, the continuous torrential rains and flash floods took away most of the food,

Their living environment has also become extremely harsh, and at the same time, intelligent creatures have appeared to prey on them.

They have sharp weapons that can easily pierce the fur of the Vessians.

Acting collectively, they hunt down the Vessian tribe and turn them into food and warm clothing.

Cruel and cunning, they are the greatest existential threat to the Vessians.

The Vis people believe in Mother Earth, or the god of the earth.

Legend has it that Mother Earth holds everything on earth, plants and life, mountains and rivers.

The food that can be found everywhere is the grace of Mother Earth to the people of Vis,

The torrents, the torrential rains that poured down from the earth, and the winds in the mountains, were the wrath of Mother Earth.

And the Weiss people are the only darlings of Mother Earth, the children of Mother Earth.

And naturally,

The Vis hunted their other intelligent species as a depraved, evil creature.

It is Mother Earth's punishment for the sinners of the Vess, a kind of original sin,

Therefore, the people of Weiss need to conquer this depraved and evil creature in order to gain more favor from Mother Earth.

And the beginning of the second chapter of the story,

It has been in this context for a long time.

……

"Hurry up and eat, and when we're full, let's move on."

"Find another cave to re-inhabit it."

This is a migration party of dozens of Weis,

They had just left the natural cave where they had lived and thrived,

They see the natural caves as a safe place for the darlings of the earth provided by Mother Earth.

Last night, only one of the few Vis people from the tribe went out to gather food returned, and the others were nowhere to be found, and they did not return for a long time.

The leader of the tribe made a decision and immediately left the cave where the tribe originally lived and began to migrate.

After walking for half the night, it was already dawn, and the sunlight shone through the dense foliage on Mother Earth's vast body.

The migrating Vis team paused for a moment, searching the surroundings for food to eat.

Sen is among them.

She is a young Vess female, with a lively and inquisitive personality, and she likes to name plants she has never seen before.

Her white fur was stained with dew from the past, and the two horns on her head turned with the turn of her head.

She followed her father.

"Father, why are we leaving?"

"The spear-wielding beasts have spread their breeding area there, and we need to go to the cave ahead to survive again."

Her father, who held a wooden spear with a sharp stone tip, was a warrior of the Vis tribe.

"Then why can't we go any further, to a place where there are no evil beasts?"

Sen asked.

Her father and the tribesmen protected her well,

She knew of the existence of the beast, but had never seen it.

The chiefs of the tribes and wise men said that the beasts did not have the horns on the heads of the Vists, nor the white fur on their bodies, which symbolized holiness.

They greedily hunt for other beings created by Mother Earth, and they smell filthy blood.

They used the other masterpieces of Mother Earth and the Vess as food and clothing.

“…… Remember, Sen, this is the promised land that Mother Earth has given us, her only darling. ”

"There is all the food and environment that we Weiss depend on to survive."

"But the evil beast has invaded and plundered our original place of existence, and one day we will defeat the evil beast and continue to live on this land."

"So we can't flee, we have to fight against the beast and take back our Promised Land."

Thus did Sen's father and the wise men of the tribe tell Sen,

Doubts appeared in Sen's eyes.

But I was soon attracted by something else.

It was a bird that was startled in the distance,

It flapped its wings and flew high above the dense forest and across the sky.

"Alright, let's move on, and there will be a new place for us to be given by Mother Earth."

The leader of the tribe shouted,

The migrating Vis were going further.

But that's when something happened.

As the darlings of the earth, the Weiss people noticed the changes in their surroundings,

In the midst of some noise, the figures of evil beasts appeared around, surrounding the Vessian tribe.

This is the first time Mori has seen these evil beasts,

Some of these beasts had to hold sharp spears, the tips of which were stronger than stone.

Holding a weapon that bends out of the half-moon and holds a sharp wooden stick,

The leader of the evil beast also rides the beast with the head tamed.

clothed with the skins of other beasts of prey and other creatures of Mother Earth,

As her father had said, the smell of these beasts was the wail of the dead beasts,

Sen also saw that some of these beasts were covered with the fur that the Vessians should have.

Sen was frightened, and stood still and did not dare to move.

But the warriors of the Vis tribe quickly took the spears in their hands and faced the surroundings, protecting the women and children of the tribe in the middle.

Then, standing in place, Mori shouted at the leading beast,

The weapon that bent out of the half-moon shot out sharp wooden arrows, and many of the sharp wooden arrows pierced the bodies of the tribal warriors.

Immediately after, it was the leader of the beasts riding on the beasts, and the other beasts, with sharp weapons, rushing towards the Vessians.

The spears of the tribal warriors with sharp stones in their hands could hardly pierce the thick layers of fur on the bodies of these beasts.

But the sharper weapons in the beast's hands could easily pierce the chests of the Vessians,

One by one, the warriors of the tribe fell to the ground, and the eyes of those evil beasts flashed with cruel light.

The leading beast shouted something, and kept hunting the Vessians in a regular and orderly manner.

Mori stood stunned, unable to move in fear, his original white fur stained with blood and dripping down.

When all the warrior leaders of the Vis tribes, the wise men died.

These beasts stopped hunting,

The remaining females and young Vis were left behind.

The leader of the beast shouted a few times, and the beast with a sharp weapon expertly cut through the white fur of the Vessians.

Just as Sen stood in place in fear, a young man of Vis picked up the spear that the dead warrior had fallen to the ground, and with a hateful gaze in his eyes, he stabbed at the beast.

But just the young man of Weiss picked up the long stick, and the eyes of the evil beasts around him showed anger and ferocity.

Immediately after, another Vessian fell to the ground.

The spears on the ground were all trampled off by the beasts.

In this fear, Mori was bound by the beasts, and the other women and children of Vess, who were still alive, were taken away by the beasts.

……

"Crackling ......"

Writes about the Weis, or Dongyangsen, in the process of migrating with the tribes,

The captured Kaki caught up, after being hunted.

The story of the second chapter has a beginning.

Ji Zhuo turned his head and looked out the window,

The sun outside the window was already slanting a little westward, and the sunlight reflecting in the room had moved to the wall of the study.

retracted his gaze,

Ji Zhuo looked at the computer screen again, and then continued to immerse himself in it, writing the story.

"Crackling ......"

The sound of keyboard tapping sounded in the study again,

The story goes on and on.

……

Tied up and carried back to the beast's colony.

When passing through the dense forest, the forest sees patches of the same plant.

The patches of plants spread all the way to the horizon, and there was no end in sight to the vast forest.

Among those plants, there are many evil beasts of the earth, and those evil beasts are working.

As he followed the beast, Mori saw the buildings that were gradually becoming denser, and Sen knew that they were houses.

The wise men of the tribe once said that the beasts did not live in caves, but in buildings of their own making.

But Sen never knew that there were so many of these buildings, so dense, and so many beasts.

All the things that Bison has seen since he was born, and the other Vis tribes combined have more Vis than I don't know how much.

Sen felt confused,

Will the Vessians really be able to one day wrest the promised land from such a large horde of evil beasts?

After hunting the evil beasts of the Weiss tribe and returning to the gathering place of the evil beasts,

Their faces were no longer as cruel as they hunted, and they smiled and greeted the other beasts passing by on the path they had carved out.

The other beasts also seemed to be praising the harvest of this hunt.

It's like going out to gather food for the Vess when they return to the cave and face the children of the Ves.

But this time, Mori is the prey that these evil beasts have hunted.

Soon, Sen is taken to where she is going.

It's a very wide cage.

The caves where the tribes lived before were larger,

Around the cage are wooden pillars that are many, much taller than Sen.

And the wooden pillars were planted in the dirt, and the world in the cage was enclosed.

Even on the top of the wooden pillars, there is a roof like the place where the evil beasts live not far away.

Sen and another fellow tribe of the little Vis pushed in,

The other Vis of the same tribe did not know where they were taken.

After Mori was pushed in, he looked around,

The other little Vis fell to the ground, curled up and trembling.

The beasts pushed them in and closed the heavy door again.

It was pitch black, and only a little light could be seen through the faint gap between the wooden pillars.

The whole circle is very large, and there is a very smelly smell,

There was a lot of excrement on the ground, and some leaf food mixed with dirt excrement.

In the whole circle, there is far more than Sen and another little Vess,

There were other Vessians and other beasts, only the occasional nonsensical cry, but no one spoke.

A few herbivorous beasts were picking up leaves on the ground and eating,

Some of the Vessians looked like them, but they all followed the beasts, most of them were on all fours, eating food,

The white fur on his body is much dirtier than the forest at this moment,

Wrapped in excrement and dirt from the ground.

"Were you caught in too?"

Sen asked the Vesians.

But no one answered, and occasionally the Vessians raised their heads, and only screamed at her like animals,

There is no meaning in the scream.

Sen felt doubts and deep fear,

At this time,

Approaching the edge of the circle, keeping her eyes on the faint gap between the stakes on the edge of the circle, and looking out of the circle, the elderly, the female Weiss turned her head,

"Don't talk to them, they don't understand."

"Why, what's wrong with them?"

Seeing that he was the only one who could communicate with him, Sen walked over.

"Were you caught, and so were they?"

"They're my children."

The old Vess's eyes were cloudy and he said calmly,

"Then why can't they speak?"

"I didn't teach them."

"Why?"

"It didn't work. We can't escape from here, we can't tear down this thick wall. ”

"Even if the wall is pushed away, there are still more Kaki people guarding outside."

"Kaki?"

"Yes, those beasts are called Kaki. They are stronger than all the Vessians, and their tribe has a rich population and powerful weapons. We can't fight them. ”

"Their range will continue to expand, and one day, we Vessians will perish or become like those wild beasts."

"Mother Earth will bless us, and one day, we will reclaim the Promised Land of Mother Earth! Chase these Kaki beasts away! ”

Sen was equally suspicious and confused, but at the same time angry at the old Kaki's words.

"They are the tenth batch."

That's what the old Vessian said.

Mori looked back at the fellow who was eating the leaves on the ground,

The bottom of the eyes revealed some confusion again,

She reached out and tried to push the stake on the edge of the circle, but naturally she didn't move.

But she said,

"I'll teach them to speak."

"They can't learn, they're already like the other animals in this circle...... It's like the Kaki people say goats. ”

“…… Me, Sen! ”

"Me, Sen!"

But Sen crouched in front of his peers, pointed at himself, and said impatiently over and over again,

But her fellow citizens just raised their heads and looked at her, and then, like the other animals beside them, continued to eat the food on the ground.

The old man next to him just watched, his eyes calm and numb......

"What if you teach them? Can you continue to teach their children? ”

"Then they can teach themselves if they learn it themselves!"

"That's just going to stay here, and if you give them wisdom, they'll be more miserable."

"Mother Earth will bless us, and we will escape from here one day."

It was something her father used to say to her, and she could only say it over and over again.

The plot is here,

It can be regarded as the first turning point.

afterwards

The plot continues to progress,

Although the old cave sheep has always denied Mori's idea,

But I've been communicating with Mori.

But another little Vis who was locked in with Sen was not long after he was locked in.

He died in fear and discomfort in the environment, and was discovered by a vicious beast and dragged out.

And from the mouth of this old cave sheep,

Sen also knows a lot about the Kaki.

For example, in addition to this place, there are many original beasts and animals in captivity, including the Weiss people.

And the Kaki seem to hate the Vis as much as the Vis hate the Kakis.

Like what

There are many, many Kaki people here, probably more than all the Vis tribes combined.

The Kakis occupied and conquered a vast part of the region.

But more, the old cave sheep don't know either.

Until another day,

The story has ushered in a new twist.

When he woke up in the morning, Sen poured food from the Kaki people in the circle and picked up the leaves,

She still insisted on picking up leaves from the ground and eating them, instead of directly bowing her head and eating like a wild beast.

At the same time, he handed the food he had picked up on the ground to the elderly female Weiss next to him.

"I'm old."

The old Vessian said to Mori.

Mori didn't understand.

"The old Vessians are like withered leaves, useless."

"Mother Earth will shelter us."

Sen was terrified again, but all he could say was this.

And things did develop as the old man said,

Early one morning, the old Vis was dragged out as well.

And in the whole circle, there is only one real Weiss person left.

The rest of her kind are more like the cave sheep in Kaki's mouth.
