Chapter 004: The Primordial World of Terror
"My name is Hei Yu, I am the chief of the Stone Tribe, since Wu said that you are a distinguished guest, then live in the tribe, and I will take you to find a place to live."
After Wu went back to the stone cave, the chief with colored feathers on his head looked at Jiang Heng and said, but when he spoke, he still looked at Jiang Heng's Pai Daxing underwear, and was very envious.
"Thank you, can you help me find someone, I want to know about the current situation of the tribe, so that I can better help the tribe solve the food problem."
Jiang Heng didn't see the eyes of the chief Hei Yu, his underwear and shoes were his last bottom line, and it was impossible to hand them over.
And Wu has already spoken, these people don't dare to do anything to themselves for the time being, and there is no need to curry favor in a low voice.
"Ask me, I'm a chief, and I know everything about the tribe."
Chief Black Feather patted his strong chest and said.
"Alright then, please tell me about the current situation of the tribe."
Jiang Heng said, because the sun in the sky was too big, he had to walk in the shadows, and he had just sunburned for a while, and his skin was sunburned.
It seemed that it was only morning, but the sun was already so poisonous that he estimated that the temperature here at noon might reach fifty or sixty degrees.
"Our tribe is called the Stone Tribe, and it is famous for making stone spears, and some of the nearby tribes will come to us in exchange for stone spears.
We were in a valley on the edge of the Giant Bull Mountains, and there was a small tribe like us nearby, only half a day's away.
Further afield are the powerful Medium Tribal Tree Tribe, who live in the Valley of the Fire Tree, where it is said to have many large fiery red trees that produce a magical fruit that can be used as a flame when broken.
It's just that the tree tribe is too far away, even the totem warriors have to walk for five days, and there are not only large beasts, poisonous insects, and even terrifying beasts in the wilderness in the middle, but only witches have been there in the tribe......"
This chief Black Feather was a talker, and he talked for more than an hour when he thought of it.
However, through his words, Jiang Heng also roughly understood the situation here, this is an extremely wild world.
Dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, dinosaurs, moas, mammoths, and huge insects with hard armor and terrifying mouthparts are often poisonous.
These poisonous insects and beasts alone are already comparable to the prehistoric world of the Cretaceous Period, but what is even more terrifying is the fierce beasts with extraordinary powers, and the most ordinary fierce beasts can easily kill those fierce beasts above.
Primitive people can be said to be at the bottom of the food chain here, ordinary people can't survive in the wild at all, and only totem warriors can fight ordinary beasts.
In addition, there are natural disasters here, not only frequent droughts and floods, but also various natural disasters such as earthquakes, natural fires, ice explosions, meteorites, and high-intensity thunderstorms, so it can be said that the survival of human beings here is extremely difficult.
If it weren't for the discovery of a way to use supernatural abilities, humanity would have been extinct long ago. But even with the help of supernatural abilities, humanity is still at the bottom of the food chain here, and it is possible to become extinct at any time.
Totem warriors and witches are human beings' own extraordinary abilities, it is said that under the pressure of countless years of survival, some people born with abnormal mental power, that is, witches, they are observing those fierce beasts, as well as the thunder, lightning, heaven and fire and other great forces in nature, and depict the totem.
Then use the totem to build a totem pole, and then use the blood of the transcendent beast to sacrifice, and finally depict the transcendent totem at the heart of the primitives of the right age, and awaken, you have a chance to obtain extraordinary abilities and become a totem warrior.
Totems are hierarchical, and the totems of small tribes like the Stone Tribe are the simplest low-level totems, which are carved by Xiao Wu and awakened to the totems.
The probability of awakening of the small totem of the tribe is very low, and there are at most three or four people in the stone tribe who awaken every year, and there may be only one or two who eventually grow up.
They are only the lowest-level first-level totem warriors, and they can't defeat fierce beasts at all, so they can deal with fierce beasts.
Because the limit of the low-level totem is the second-level totem warrior, there are now only five totem warriors left in the tribe, including the chief.
And the second-level one is only the chief black feather, and his strength can only kill the big wild boar alone, and he can't collide with the lowest-level fierce beast at all.
Because totems are graded, the limit of low-level totems is the second-level totem warrior.
And because the totem is just an imitation and plagiarism of extraordinary abilities, compared to the darling of heaven and earth, the fierce beast that was born with a crystal nucleus is completely incomparable, but it also provokes the fierce beast to like to eat totem warriors very much.
This makes it possible for primitive humans to survive under pressure, even with a certain amount of extraordinary power, and tribal destruction is a common occurrence.
The Shi tribe now has only thirty-five clansmen, plus Jiang Heng is thirty-six, there are nine adult men, five totem warriors, one Wu, and the remaining twenty people are all old women, women and children, and they do not have combat effectiveness.
And the four seasons here are also very strange, the cold winter and the scorching heat are five months long, and the spring and autumn are only one month.
In winter, it is said that stones can freeze and crack, and everything is silent, so all must be stored enough food for five months before winter comes, otherwise they will starve to death.
After learning about this, Jiang Heng's heart suddenly became heavy, this was not the prehistoric era he imagined, but a completely different world, and it was really difficult to survive here.
He now had serious doubts about his ability to get enough food for the Stone Tribe, but he had to, because without food he would be eaten like a two-legged sheep.
"Can I become a totem warrior? I didn't need to be a warrior to live well when I was in the Huaxia tribe, but it's too dangerous here."
Jiang Heng looked at Hei Yu and asked.
"Not to mention that you are already very old and missed the best time, even if it is appropriate, you will have to wait until next year. Becoming a totem warrior requires the blood sacrifice of the beast, and with our current strength, we simply can't get the blood of the beast. ”
Hei Yu shook his head and said, in fact, their sacrificial rituals today are all using the beast blood that has been stored before, and the blood of the fierce beast next year is not at all, and now it is a question mark whether they can even survive the winter.
The priority now is to stock up on food and find exotic herbs for witches to strengthen their bodies, especially the latter.
Once the witch is dead, even if it is safe to survive the winter, it is useless, no one starts the sacrifice, no new totem warriors are born, and the tribe will slowly die out.
"Alright then, thank you for telling me so much, I'll think about it."
Jiang Heng said with some regret, if he can't become a totem warrior this year, it will be even more difficult to survive.
This also means that he can only rely on the Stone Tribe, if the Stone Tribe is gone, it is impossible for him as an ordinary person to survive in this terrifying and wild world.
