Chapter 10 The Granting of Witches

Snake Tribe.

The salty people are busy at the moment.

Not far from the mountain wall, strange huts piled up with dead branches and weeds were being torn down one by one.

It is better to say that it is a hut, but rather a nest of birds and beasts that fall to the ground, and the space inside is so small that it can only be nested in it for an adult clansman, and even, even a little wind and rain can easily destroy it and expose them to wind and rain.

This is where they once lived.

Invaded by the serpent in the cave where they lived, they rebuilt the sleeping place according to the story left behind by an ancestor who had returned from the outside not long ago.

House.

It's just that they have been living in the cave, and no one really looks like a "house" in the legend, so they can only follow the story and learn how birds and beasts build nests, using weeds and dead branches to build this simple nest.

Every now and then, after a storm, you have to start all over again.

The only thing to be thankful for is that because of the existence of the giant snake, the insects and beasts around it are extinct, and there is no need to worry about being taken away by wild beasts at night, so that they can spend these hundreds of sunsets safely.

Now, with the giant snake occupying the cave being killed by Fengxi, they can return to the cave, and they no longer need to shrink into these "houses" like bird and beast dens.

They tore down the original "house" and built a wall not far from the cave with mud.

The wall, as it is said by Hangham, can help the people defend themselves against wild beasts.

The tribesmen had no doubt about this, for Xian told them that it was taught to them by the god-like "Daxi" in their minds.

"Salty, they haven't come back yet......"

A female clansman poured the dirt in her hand onto a dead branch and tilted her head to look out.

"The tribe doesn't have much food anymore, so Xian takes the tribesmen to hunt beasts!"

Beside her, a limping male said, his eyes glinting with longing.

He really wanted to go with them, but now he couldn't even walk steadily, so how could he hunt beasts?

"Beast, can you really hunt?" When the female clansmen heard this, their faces were full of worry,

"It's been a long time since the tribe has gone out to hunt beasts!"

Ever since the serpent had eaten all the hunters, no one knew how to hunt.

All along, they have relied on wild fruits and weeds in the jungle to feed their hunger.

The meat of the giant serpent was the only beast meat they had eaten in the hundreds of big sunsets.

And now, the serpent has only one skeleton left.

They knew that if Salty didn't make it back, they would go back to starving their days.

The conversation between the two is only a corner of the tribe, and at this moment, all the clansmen are looking forward to their return.

While they were busy building a wall to block the beast's invasion, they hoped in their hearts that Xian could really succeed!

"Salty is back!"

Not far away, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded.

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped what they were doing, stood on tiptoe, and looked up.

I saw a few figures walking not far away, they supported each other and limped over.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes suddenly darkened again, they lowered their heads, and began to continue to build the earthen wall, and the memories of the past were not washed away by the passage of time.

They remembered that a long time ago, tribes were often like this, and only a few of the people who went out came back.

It also means that the salty hunt for them, failed!

"Beast!"

"It's a beast!"

"Salty they hunted the beast!"

At this moment, another voice of surprise and excitement came to their ears.

Their eyes lit up again, and they looked up again cautiously.

I saw that not far behind the clansmen who were supporting each other, Xian and a few other people were carrying a beast and walking over with their heads held high.

"Beast!"

"It's really a beast!"

Seeing clearly what they were carrying, their eyes became brighter and brighter, their faces showed excitement, and they barely thought about it, they immediately put down what they were holding and rushed in the direction of salty.

"Bang!"

Looking at the clansmen who came over, the Xian group stopped and put the beast on the ground.

"Tribesmen, we've hunted beasts!" Salty shouted in an excited voice,

"Tribe, there is meat to eat again!"

As the words fell, there was a shout of excitement from the crowd.

At the same time, in front of the cave, Fengxi's figure appeared here at some point.

He stood silently at the entrance of the cave, and no one noticed him.

Looking at the joyful scene in front of him, Fengxi's face couldn't help but sketch a smile.

……

Night.

When all the people were satisfied, Xian quietly came out of the cave without alarming anyone.

He came to the clearing in front of the cave and walked towards the skeleton of the serpent that lay there.

"Daxi!" Xian walked up to Fengxi lightly and whispered.

At this moment, Feng Xi was touching the slender snake bones with his hands.

"Salty, haven't slept yet?" Feng Xi stroked the ground, he turned his head, looked at Xian and asked.

"Salty can't sleep!"

Salty shook his head and replied honestly,

"The tribe hunted the beast today, but I'm not happy!"

"It's just an ordinary beast, and it makes it so difficult for the clansmen, and everyone comes back with a big injury!"

"The people need food, and even if I go out with them every day, it is impossible for everyone to fill their stomachs!"

Salty's tone was a little low, he was immersed in joy during the day, and he didn't think about these things, but when the night came, and when he calmed down, he realized that even if they went out hunting every day, they couldn't fill everyone's stomach.

What's more, if one day they don't hunt any beasts, the people will starve again.

Thinking that he had said that he wanted to be like Fengxi's tribe and let all the tribesmen be fed, a look of shame flashed on his salty face.

"Your green snake is about to transform into a strange beast, with its help, you can easily hunt the beast!" Feng Xi said lightly.

Xian Wenyan shook his head, "I won't let it hunt beasts for the clansmen!" ”

"It should be in the tribe, protecting the tribesmen, just like the guardian beast of the Daxi tribe, and the food of the tribesmen needs to be found by ourselves!"

He looked up, his eyes glinting with longing.

Fengxi once told him something about the Fenggon tribe, like a story, telling him how he led the tribe's people.

Among them, naturally also includes the alien beast that guards the tribe.

I heard it in my ears, but I secretly remembered it in my heart.

He wants to make the Snake Tribe like the Daxi Tribe!

He learned the "story" told by Fengxi, and let the green snake guard the tribe, while he and some tribesmen who could hunt went out together to find food for the tribe.

Feng Xi listened to the salty words, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Xian can say such things, which is not beyond his expectations, and it is also the result of his secret guidance.

Originally, Feng Xi was still hesitant in his heart, whether he still had to wait for a while to see how Xian changed the tribe and how he would lead the clansmen.

Now, though, it seems that the time has come.

After seeing Feng Xi groaning slightly, he suddenly spoke,

"Salty, do you know where my strength comes from?"
