Chapter 1: The Great Wilderness
"Today I'm going to talk about the origins of civilization!"
"Human civilization begins with fire!"
In the spacious classroom, a well-dressed old man stood in front of the podium, his eyes were deep, and his tone was unhurried.
Offstage, the students fell sporadically on their desks and fell asleep. It seems that the old man's voice is like a lullaby, which makes people sleep.
"Fire, let people get rid of the era of "Ru Mao drinking blood"...... The range of human activities has been expanded...... Exorcise the beasts...... Burning grass for fertilizer...... The first agricultural cultivation method of man was born - slash-and-burn farming......
"At the beginning of the primeval period, people sucked dew essence and ate herbs and trees...... So that there are saints who come out, and the king of fire is the king, and he makes a fire and teaches people to cook...... The number is ......"
……
"Flint ......"
The ancient wilderness, the land of divine fire.
Feng Xi sat on the ground, holding his cheeks and quietly looking at the fire-colored light curtain in front of him, a little dazed under his distant gaze.
When he woke up, he suddenly appeared in a strange primitive tribe in the wilderness, and Feng Xi had too many doubts and fears in his heart, urging him to explore this world again and again.
If it weren't for the fact that when he first appeared here, he was just a newborn primitive tribe baby, and he might have died a long time ago because he couldn't adapt to this wild world where he drank blood.
Even so, when he learned where he was and his suspected identity, Fengxi was still shocked.
There don't seem to be many primitive tribes belonging to the human race in the Great Wilderness, except for the tribe he was born into, as far as Fengxi knows, there are only one or two.
And this inconspicuous tribe in the corner of the wild world has a famous name in the previous life - Fenggon!
Its leader also had a prominent name in the previous life - Hua Xu.
As a descendant of Zhuxia, a descendant of the Yan and Huang lineages, how could he not understand what these two names represented?
Even when he first learned about this, Feng Xi mostly hoped in his heart, it was just a coincidence of the same name.
But when he learned that the holy land of the tribe was enshrined in a ball of divine fire, and heard that Amhuaxu said that it was the story of the ancestor Da Sui, who brought the divine fire from the Suiming Kingdom and opened up the Fenggon tribe, Fengxi had to believe this fact in his heart.
Fenggong - Suiming Kingdom
Huaxu - Suiren - drill wood to make fire
These familiar stories from his past life flashed through his heart one by one.
"Professor, if you give me another chance, I will definitely listen to your class!" Fengxi thought bitterly.
He used to be a student of the old professor of the academy who was deeply involved in Chinese mythology and history, and he was one of the many students who fell asleep in class.
Who would have thought that those myths and stories, which were once only used by old professors as a way to attract students to listen to lectures, would one day become a reality that they might have to face?
No matter how much Feng Xi didn't believe it in his heart, the flame curtain that protected the tribe in front of him made the stories that were just myths and legends in his memory become reality.
Fengxi's heart gradually calmed down, but his eyes were still flickering,
"I just don't know how true those myths and gods that have been passed down in later generations?"
……
Time seemed to have passed, and the dark jungle seemed to be deeper.
Probably tired of sitting, Feng Xi stood up, he looked up at the light curtain in front of him like a big bowl covering the tribe, his face was heavy, and his eyes flashed a trace of hesitation from time to time.
It didn't take long for Feng Xi's eyes to be certain, the hesitation in his eyes dissipated, and he turned into firmness, and the pair of small hands that had grown to eleven or twelve years old wrapped under the beast's clothes suddenly stretched out, and the palms were so flat that they were attached to the fire-colored light curtain in front of him.
There is no imaginary fire, burning, and no mystical understanding, as if it is pressed against an invisible "ordinary" wall.
"Huh?"
Feng Xi's heart was a little calmer, and he didn't encounter scenes like those wild beasts being devoured by flames.
He gritted his teeth and pressed harder, only to see a ripple spread from where he had held it to the side, and then calm again.
"Sure enough, 'it' is protecting us!"
After repeated "hard work", Feng Xi finally put down his little hand, held his chin and twisted it a few times, with a little contemplation between his eyebrows,
"The beast will be engulfed in flames if it comes close, but the tribesmen who have gone out can enter and exit normally, and at this time prevent me from going out......"
"It has a spirit!"
Feng Xi's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but glance at the peak of the mountain behind him, and a blazing red flame seemed to flash in his mind.
With the thought together, Fengxi immediately gave up the unrealistic idea in his heart.
He knew what the flame enshrined at the top of the peak meant, for the people of this world, the flame that protected them was a god, and if they wanted to move their god, let alone him, even the leader of the tribe couldn't!
"It looks like we can only wait for the fire festival!"
Fengxi's eyes moved, and he whispered to himself,
"And without the protection of fire, even if you can get out, it will be difficult to survive in the dangerous wilderness!"
The outside world is dangerous, this is the conclusion that every time he sees the tribal hunting team come back, some people will always disappear, Fengxi has come to the conclusion.
Even those who are on the verge of life and death, and the experienced "hunters" will disappear in the primitive world, not to mention Fengxi, a powerless child!
Fengxi raised his head and looked through the light curtain at the primeval forest that was isolated in front of him.
The dense and primeval jungle obscured everything, as if it was blocked by something, not even the light of the moon god could penetrate it.
Deep and mysterious, as if it can swallow everything, the mouth of darkness can make people shudder just by looking at it.
……
"Xi!"
"Why did you sneak out again!"
Just as Feng Xi put down the idea of going out and took a roundabout route when he was thinking about the fire festival, a low female voice suddenly sounded behind him, and it came with an anxious and questioning tone.
"Eminem, I just wanted to come out and see!"
Feng Xi came back to his senses, immediately turned his head, and looked at the primitive woman who was carrying a war spear and running all the way, and a smile quickly appeared on his face.
As the other party stopped in front of Fengxi, the beautiful white feathers on his head were still shaking.
The woman of the primitive tribe in front of her is Fengxi's mother in this life and the leader of the tribe - Hua Xu.
He hesitated to step forward to please the explanation, but after seeing the stone spear emitting cold light in the other party's hand, he immediately dispelled his thoughts and took a step back without moving.
"Don't go back yet!"
The female leader of the tribe glared at Feng Xi fiercely, and the stone spear in her hand swung at Feng Xi, urging him to go back quickly.
"Eminem, the tribe is guarded by fire, and those beasts ......"
Before Feng Xi could continue to explain, the stone spear in Hua Xu's hand had already slapped in front of him.
"Eminem!"
Looking at Amwarxu's skillful movements without listening to the "explanation", he knew that this situation had occurred more than once, and even if Fengxi dodged quickly, the stone spear could always accurately change direction and shoot at him.
"Don't do it, I'll go back!"
Feng Xi dodged one attack after another in a panic, and took the opportunity to retreat step by step, until he was out of the range of the stone spear, and then he turned around and spread his feet and ran towards the tribe.
"Humph!"
Seeing Fengxi leaving, Hua Xu snorted coldly.
But instead of retracting the stone spear, he clenched it tightly, turning around and looking vigilantly at the primeval jungle outside the light curtain.
"Whew...... Roar! ”
At this time, there was a faint sound of beast roaring from the jungle, but it seemed to be afraid and did not approach here.
After confirming that the tribe was still safe, Hua Xu retracted his gaze, took the stone spear and turned around and quickly retreated in the direction where Feng Xi left.
