7. Thunder and lightning
Googwiel and I have studied the social structure of the Neanderthals, the descendants of the Silver People, because they have been closed in the gap of time and space for too long, so although they retain some of the old culture, but because they are too closed, there is almost no progress, but in the social system, there is a certain degree of degradation.
In a nutshell, the Neanderthals were a very large tribe of indigenous hominids.
They can make simple tools, have their own language, and retain some ancient customs and beliefs, and everyone in the tribe is relatively strong, except that they are almost no different from the cave people on the top of the mountain, the Yuanmou ape people, and the Hemudu people.
Now the Neanderthals still retain the system of dual leaders of the Great Elder and the Chief, the Great Elder is in charge of knowledge and training the next generation, the Chief is responsible for leading everyone to hunt monsters and obtain the necessary resources for life, and the status of the Great Elder is far above the Chief, holding the power to depose and appoint the Chief.
The chieftain himself does not have much power, and he cannot decide the big and small affairs of the tribe, everything has to be consulted by the Great Elder, but because of his own high prestige, if nothing else, he will be the heir of the next Great Elder. But the Great Elder is almost lifelong, and only the moment he dies will he step down, but the chief will be replaced for various reasons, or even retire on his own, and he will not survive the day when he becomes the Great Elder.
Silver Arrow knocked on the side and asked me something about the outside world, of course I wouldn't talk to him about the Overworld, Neanderthals are completely different from the humans of the Overworld, and bringing them to the Overworld will cause an uproar. I just substituted for the things of the dark world, and described some of the progress and beauty of the outside a little, and of course the dark side of the dark world, I didn't mention a word.
Silver Arrow listened leisurely and said to me, "I really want to see the outside world, but it's a pity that I ......" He shook his head and didn't say anything more, but Silver Arrow completely ignored that I was not "talking" to him, but constantly reading his innermost thoughts, and using telepathy, to transmit to him that I wanted to say "words".
So even though he didn't say it, I was able to capture what he was really thinking.
Silver Arrow is not a Neanderthal chieftain, but it is a strong contender for chieftaincy, the current Neanderthal chieftain Copper Hammer, because of the hunting of the bronze horse king, was kicked by the horse king and broke his ribs, although he escaped a life, but he was seriously injured that is difficult to heal, and there is no way to continue as a chief.
Silver Arrow wants to become a new generation of chieftains, and although the outside world is also quite attractive, there is obviously no way to compare to the Neanderthal chieftaincy.
Although I had insight into Silver Arrow's thoughts, I didn't say anything, just smiled and continued to introduce the outside world.
Soon Silver Arrow brought me into the tribe, and with Silver Arrow, the first Neanderthal archer, as a guide, I easily met the Neanderthal Grand Elder.
I always thought that the Neanderthal Great Elder should be very old, but I didn't expect that the Neanderthal Great Elder I met was only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, and he looked very young.
The Neanderthal Grand Elder seemed to see through the doubts in my heart, smiled and said, "My name is Thunderbolt, and when the previous Great Elder passed away, I was the first warrior of the tribe and the chief of the tribe, so I inherited this position. ”
I couldn't help but glance at Raiden, a surprisingly young Great Elder, and couldn't help but shake my head slightly, Thunderbolt may indeed be very strong, but it still hasn't reached the Void Phase, in other words, if Raiden is already the strongest person in this Neanderthal tribe, there will be no Void Phase-level powerhouse in this tribe.
Raiden was young but very wise, and seeing that I was unimpressed by his strength, he smiled and said, "The men your companions have brought with them, although they are also strong, may not be as good as me. I can't see through your companions, but I don't want to fight women, so why don't we compare?"
I smiled brightly and said, "Yes!"
Thunderbolt suddenly grew up, like a cheetah, his speed was so fast, he actually dragged out the remnants of the Dao, even I couldn't help but praise slightly, when I was in the main world, I had many groups of life souls, but in terms of speed is still far inferior to thunder and lightning, even when I first entered the dark world, I was not as agile as Thunderbolt, and even because of the difference in physical fitness, when I just condensed the virtual appearance of the mountain giant ape, I was purely physically fighting, I am afraid I can't beat Thunder and Lightning.
This young Grand Elder, who claims to be the strongest of the Neanderthal tribe, is indeed worthy of his reputation, and I have never seen anyone possess his speed and skill when he has failed to condense the void.
I didn't try to use any souls, but smashed it with one punch, sealing all the offensive routes of the thunder and lightning with great precision, and then accompanied by a kick, so that this young elder with outstanding strength was able to watch his lower abdomen being hit by this kick, but he didn't have time to react.
When the thunderbolt dodged over, he bounced back at a faster speed, and rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before he turned over and stood up.
He just bounced off the ground, and let out a strange roar, and pounced again, this time his speed was not fast, but his body was fast and slow, and there were many changes, I was still a punch to block, this time I didn't even have to kick out, and directly smashed the thunderbolt over.
Raiden attacked six times in a row, but none of them could survive a single blow under my hands, and not only did Raiden look incredulous, but even all the Neanderthals looked horrified. They didn't expect that the strongest Great Elder in the tribe was no match for me, an outsider.
I chuckled and asked, "Does the Great Elder want to try a few more times?"
Raiden waved his hand and said, "You are much stronger than me, I am not your opponent." Outsider, what exactly do you want to do?"
I said solemnly, "I want to give the Neanderthals strength, to give them a new future, so that they can step out of this locked world and enter a wider world." ”
Raiden groaned slightly, and then continued to ask, "What if I refuse?"
I said without hesitation: "The future of the Neanderthals needs to be chosen by you, I am only responsible for bringing all this to you, whether you choose to want it or not, it is the power of the Neanderthals, and I cannot do anything about it." ”
Raiden pondered for a moment, then asked, "What if we only need strength and refuse anything else?"
I smiled slightly and said, "I still say the same thing: the future of the Neanderthals needs to be chosen by you, I am only responsible for bringing all this to you, you choose to want it or not, it is the power of the Neanderthals, what you choose to want, what you don't want, it is also the power of the Neanderthals, I can't do anything about it." ”
Raiden was slightly surprised, and then said, "Then I need your strength!"
I nodded and said, "Yes, but this kind of power is not from the gods, but the result of self-cultivation." You have two options, I will teach you the methods of cultivating power, but because these secret methods are not tailor-made for Neanderthals, there may be limits to what you can achieve as Neanderthals in the future. Another option is that I will create a secret cultivation method for you Neanderthals alone, but this will require your cooperation, maybe longer, after all, I can't create something out of nothing. ”
Raiden closed his eyes and made a contemplative state, I didn't disturb him, the other Neanderthals worshipped him, the Great Elder, as if he were a god, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, they all prostrated on the side, holding their breath, waiting for the results of Thunderbolt's thoughts.
Raiden thought for half an hour, and then walked through his own wooden house, the Neanderthal architectural style is very primitive, that is, the thick wooden stakes are driven into the ground, and thick thatch is spread on it, and it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is very spacious, but the lighting is a little worse, but these Neanderthals will not care about this, they don't take it in the house at all during the day, and sleep at night, who goes back to care about the lighting?
After a while, Raiden came out with an iron box, put it in front of me, and said slowly: "We Neanderthals also have ancient cultivation secrets, but because of ...... Because the age is too old, almost no one in the tribe recognizes the words on the inheritance scroll, so everyone doesn't know how to cultivate, and can only rely on everyone's talent to comprehend the method of fighting. ”
The young Great Elder raised his head and said to me, "Can you help us translate the words on the inheritance scroll?"
Raiden's eyes were full of hope, although he was smart, but he was also very simple, in such a closed gap in time and space, there were only these Neanderthals, so he might not even know what fraud was, and anyone who had a little social experience would not take out the ancestral treasures to strangers.
Of course, I didn't have the mood to instruct these Neanderthals on how to guard against strangers, so I reached out and opened the iron box, and took out the "Inheritance Scroll" inside, as soon as I got my hands on this thing, I knew that it must be the Soul Seal Book.
I groaned slightly in my heart, and secretly thought: "As long as they have the corresponding soul power, they can activate the first life soul map on the soul seal book, even if they lose the text, they can figure out seven or eight when they look at the picture, how can they lose the secret method of cultivation?"
With this question, I opened this scroll of soul seals, and I tried to use all the souls in my body to try it individually, until I tried a group of auxiliary souls in the Chilu system, and this scroll of soul seals was activated, showing the first soul map.
I looked at it carefully for a while, smiled slightly wryly, and shook my head secretly in my heart.
This volume of soul seal book is very precious and remarkable in anyone's hands, because this volume of soul seal book is the "Bright King Armor Life Soul Map" cultivated by Leguang, but the life and soul map in his hand is incomplete, but there is a volume of soul seal book here, that is to say, this set of Bright King Armor life soul map must be a complete set, without any defects.
But according to what Gugwiel told me about the origin of the Neanderthals, the great ancestor who gave birth to the Neanderthals, Morema, had the talent of manipulating the wind, and the Neanderthals were born with wind spirits, they were able to manipulate the atmosphere and play with the wind and clouds, thunder and lightning, just like the collection of the ancient Chinese legend of the Wind Bo Rain Master Lei Gong Lightning Mother, they are not suitable for cultivating the Light King armor soul diagram at all.
This also made me understand the fundamental reason why these Neanderthals had no way to cultivate the soul seal book in their hands, what they were guarding was not the life and soul map inherited by their own tribe, but a life and soul map that they got out of nowhere, and this life and soul map was related to the Western Camel State nine times out of ten.
I pondered my vocabulary for a while, and still told the truth about the thunderbolt, and I said to the young elder, "Neanderthals are all wind elves, and this secret inheritance is the secret art of light, I don't know its origin, but I can think that it is very precious, but although this secret art is very precious, it is not suitable for Neanderthals. ”
I returned this set of life and soul maps to Raiden, and I thought he would be very disappointed, but when he saw Raiden, his face was full of joy, and he said to me: "I know it's not suitable for Neanderthals, it's something we thought our ancestors inadvertently entered a golden cave and brought it in for three months, and it is not our Neanderthal inheritance, sorry! ”
I couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly, I just thought that Neanderthals were simple, and in a blink of an eye, the Great Elder Thunderbolt taught me a lesson, making me understand that some intelligence is innate, and the worse the environment, the more it can sharpen the light of wisdom.
I spread my hands and asked, "Do Neanderthals have a legacy of their own?"
Raiden said with some regret: "No!"
I closed my eyes, beckoned to Silver Arrow, called him to my side, and then took his hand, and urged my soul power into Silver Arrow's body. All the Neanderthals looked at me, and after a while, I wrote a set of life and soul diagrams on the ground, and then said to Silver Arrow, "You can try to practice this secret method and see how your body reacts." ”
The secret method I taught to Silver Arrow, of course, was not created temporarily, although I am proficient in the Ten Methods of Illusion and the Snake Witch Divine Method, but I don't have that ability yet, I just taught the Gale Life Soul Diagram to Silver Arrow, which is the secret method I took from the Carefree Hou Yemo.
Gale and the Easy Bird, the Golden-winged Bird, and the Tai Prison Beast are the same as the eighth-order void-level demon beasts, and the potential of this set of life souls is also extremely good, especially the life soul map that manipulates the atmospheric wind, among all the life soul maps in my hand, it is the most suitable for these Neanderthals.
Lei Raiden knew that I was trying to win their trust, and deliberately let Silver Arrow try to cultivate first, although his wisdom reminded him that letting a person try to cultivate first was the least dangerous way, but he couldn't help it, and secretly operated the soul power in his body according to the Wind Destiny Soul Diagram.
Silver Arrow was still asking me questions, pondering how to cultivate this strange and extremely complicated set of life and soul diagrams, and it took him more than two hours to figure out how to cultivate this set of life and soul diagrams.
Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt that I had finally explained to Silver Arrow, a native, how to cultivate the Great Wind Destiny Soul Diagram, and secretly felt that it was too difficult to give a lecture to these backward Neanderthals of the primitive tribal model, so I heard a clear chirp.
Behind the thunder and lightning, a big cyan bird faintly appeared, which was the appearance of the gale!
