0002 Awakening
That's right, the young man in front of Huowa is not him.
Although the body is still Ah Chao's body, the soul has long been replaced by a modern person named Jia Chao from Lanxing.
Jia Chao held the rune stone in his hand, and silently scavenged the memory of the tribal priest stubborn stone from the memory of the original owner, Ah Chao, to guide him to awaken.
Soon, Jia Chao found the correct way to open the rune stone.
I saw him sit cross-legged on the spot, holding the rune stone to his chest with both hands like a heart, and then closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the "spirit" in the rune stone with his mind.
Yes, there is indeed a "spirit" in the rune stone. But this spirit is not a living soul, but a dead soul.
The essence of the runestone is the remains of some elemental spirit, and the spirit body that remains in it contains some powerful power.
As long as you can communicate with this spirit, you will have the opportunity to obtain the inheritance of the elemental spirit, and thus awaken to become a [Spirit Whisperer].
Jia Chao's first attempt was a feeling of first glimpse of the door, and a strange feeling spread across him.
It feels like a seed has sprouted in the body, followed by capillary-like roots that grow into the limbs.
As these roots grew, Jia Chao felt as if he had touched the brink of awakening.
He felt as if he could control some strange power, which was different from the power of the body, more subtle and elusive.
Just as he began to sigh at the miraculous power of this non-physical science, a sudden change came to his mind.
Those roots that entered his body suddenly began to exert force, and Jia Chao felt that his soul was bound by these roots, as if he was about to be pulled into the rune stone on his chest.
This change shocked Jia Chao, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only grit his teeth and stabilize his mind.
What Jia Chao didn't know was that this rune stone passed down by the previous beast whisperer of the Yanshi tribe had already absorbed the soul power of three generations of chiefs.
The original young chieftain Ah Chao, Ah Chao's father, Chief Ah Hu, and Chief Ah Hu's previous pyroxene chief all died from the backlash of the rune stone.
It's just that the people in the tribe don't know, and they think that these three people don't have the talent to awaken.
As the suction from the rune stone became stronger and stronger, Jia Chao only felt as if he was about to go out of his body.
This feeling is different from physical detachment, like the feeling of life passing through the body during sudden death in a previous life.
Countless emotions instantly welled up in Jia Chao's heart, including despair, anger, resentment, sadness, and more fear.
"Isn't it! How about crossing over once, and burping before you start your freshlife? ”
The strong unwillingness to let the soul of the middle two in Jia Chao's heart burn brightly, and began to mobilize the mysterious power in his body to fight against those "roots".
It was only three breaths of time, and Jia Chao felt as if he was in control of the scene.
This feeling is like being pressed by a ghost, and suddenly roaring out of your own will.
Immediately after, the suction power from the rune stone gradually disappeared, but Jia Chao began to extract something strange from the rune stone with the help of those "roots" in the hundreds of limbs.
Gradually, Jia Chao opened his eyes.
At this moment, the surface of the rune stone he was holding in his hand was covered with tiny cracks, and the whole stone had turned grayish-white, looking dull.
Huowa had obviously noticed Jia Chao's change, and asked in surprise:
"Ah Chao, have you awakened?"
Jia Chao raised his eyes to look at the fire baby, smiled at her and nodded.
Awakening means that he has the capital to counterattack.
Jia Chao breathed a sigh of relief.
In his previous life, as a modern person, he was a waste-like existence.
I graduated from college by copying homework, and after graduation, I never looked for a job and gnawed at home.
There is no work experience at all, and survival skills are nothing.
It stands to reason that such a person should have no way to survive when he crosses into a primitive society, but God has left him a glimmer of life after all.
When he first came to this world, the original owner, Ah Chao, was covered with scars, and it seemed that he should not have survived.
Huowa dragged him out of the [Forest of the Dead] when he was dying, and found all kinds of wild fruits and food to feed him.
For some reason, the injuries on Jia Chao's body actually healed quickly, but the scabs fell off like molting day and night, leaving no scars.
In the next nearly half a month, Jia Chao built the current bamboo courtyard with the help of Huowa, and survived by the fish in the lotus pond.
When he heard that Da Xiong, who had become the new chief of the tribe by brute force, was ready to awaken with rune stones, Jia Chao asked Huowa to inquire about the news.
As a result, Huowa overfulfilled the task and directly stole the rune stone back, giving Jia Chao a chance to awaken.
No matter from which point of view, Huowa is a noble person in his life.
Jia Chao took out the sharpened pig iron dagger and handed it to the fire baby, and said to her:
"The dagger is ready, let's see if it's good!"
Huowa took the dagger, swung it twice, and picked up two branches from the ground and chopped them a few times.
"Easy to use! Harder than a bone dagger! And not as brittle as a stone dagger! ”
The fire baby's eyes were full of little stars, and this sweet smile was a little incongruous with her wild movements.
"Ah Chao, now that you have awakened to the Beast Whisperer, do you have a very strong power?"
Jia Chao clenched his fist with his right hand, shook his head and said:
"I don't feel any power, and I don't know what it takes to be an Beast Whisperer."
He was telling the truth, he hadn't gained any useful knowledge in the process of awakening just now, except for feeling the power of the mystical and mysterious.
"Shouldn't you be given a starter skill or something? Shadow Arrow or Summoning or something! Jia Chao thought to himself.
But it was the case, and he had no idea what he had gained.
"Then let's go ask Uncle Stubborn!" Huowa suggested.
"Uncle Boulder?" Jia Chao looked down at the gray stone he was holding in his left hand, and seriously considered Huowa's proposal.
Bothstone is the only witch doctor of the tribe and also serves as the priest of the tribe.
Judging from the memory of the original owner, Ah Chao, this old man seems to be a little unreliable.
Let's say he's a witch doctor, he's actually an old god, and it's not good to cure diseases and save people.
Doctors die one by one!
To heal the disease, only to boil water from grass blades and give people to drink, and to heal wounds, only to put mud on the wound.
If it weren't for his priesthood, the clansmen would have died with a person dancing the gods, and it is estimated that he would have been beaten to death by the doctors.
And such a person is responsible for guiding the chief to awaken with rune stones, so that Jia Chao is a little uncertain.
"Could it be that they were misled by this old god stick to awaken and failed?" Jia Chao thought to himself.
If so, what problem can be solved by looking for boulders? Maybe he'll get himself into it.
Thinking of this, Jia Chao couldn't help but turn his head to look at the fire baby.
"You said that we robbed the rune stone of the Great Bear Chieftain, will the Hui tribe be beaten?"
Huowa raised her eyes to look at Jia Chao, her dark eyes rolled and said:
"Yes!"
She paused and said, "I'm probably going to be killed!" ”
Jia Chao: "......"
Originally, I thought that after awakening and becoming a beast whisperer, I could master some special abilities, so that I could walk sideways in the Yanshi tribe.
Who knows that after awakening, he didn't master any abilities, but now he has made a mortal enemy for himself.
"It's better to give a squirrel that ability! What does that mean now? ”
Jia Chao muttered silently and looked at the fire baby again.
Huowa didn't care about the threat of Chief Bear at all, and just played with the dagger in her hand repeatedly.
"Ah Chao, can you make me another iron spearhead? I want to have a spear! ”
Jia Chao nodded, "You can get the iron sand yourself, and I'll help you refine it when it's done." ”
Hearing this, the fire baby ran to the grass shed next to her, grabbed a stone tied to a tree vine, lifted the clay pot on the side and began to run out.
The stone was a natural magnet that Huowa had picked up from the mountain.
At that time, Jia Chao just wanted to find stones to make stone tools as tools, but he directly crossed the Stone Age and entered the Iron Age.
If you put a natural magnet in the creek and drag it twice, you can harvest a lot of iron sand.
The first piece of iron that Jia Chao built was a firewood knife, and it was with this firewood knife that he had the current bamboo courtyard.
Jia Chao came back with a firewood knife chopping some firewood and began to burn charcoal from the stove that had been vacated.
Charcoal is a good thing, it can be crushed into charcoal powder to replace the oxygen element in iron oxide, and it can also provide enough temperature for smelting.
When the charcoal was ready, the fire baby also returned.
She carried a clay pot full of iron sand and carried two half-meter-long fish, Jia Chao was used to this scene.
There are two pools on the mountain, the upper one is devoid of fish, and the lower one has large fish, some of which are even longer than Jia Chao's height.
"Fishing in the waterhole to the east again?" Jia Chao asked.
"Well, it's time to send tribute to Uncle Yanlong again." The fire baby put the things next to the stove and processed the fish by the ditch next to it.
Jia Chao felt a sigh in his heart when he heard this, and two green lanterns immediately appeared in his mind.
The back mountain is a forbidden place for the Yanshi tribe, and this bamboo courtyard by the lotus pond is not free to live in.
Every five days, the fire baby would take Jia Chao to a cave and place the grilled fish as a tribute on a large stone in the cave.
The cave is said to be the residence of Yanlong, the [guardian beast] of the Yanshi tribe, and Huowa didn't know how to make Yanlong agree to let them live in the back mountain.
Jia Chao was not averse to the matter of sacrificial tribute, he was disgusted with entering that cave.
The cave was on the other side of the bamboo forest, and it was more than 200 meters down a smooth road behind the forest towards the cliff.
Then there is a road that clings to the cliff face and leads to the back of the waterfall above the waterhole.
The cave is pitch black, and after entering, there will be an inexplicable feeling of suffocation, like falling into a quagmire.
Soon, the two of them came to the mouth of the cave with two grilled fish.
Jia Chao stepped into the cave first, and strangely, this time he didn't feel the feeling of suffocation, but instead felt a strange feeling of comfort all over his body.
Just as he was puzzled, a powerful air pressure erupted from the cave and shot out.
Before Jia Chao could react, the air pressure pushed him out of the cave.
I saw that the pouring waterfall was directly disconnected due to this air pressure, and Jia Chao flew to the top of the pool.
The fire baby, who was lucky enough to escape, looked at Jia Chao who was still in the air on the side of the cave entrance in a daze, and there was a sharp roar in his ears.
Huowa didn't understand what this roar meant, but Jia Chao in the air could hear it clearly.
"Roll !!"
