"Who's that, the one with hair on his head, come here!"

In addition to being excited, Li Hang almost forgot the name of Ah Yan, the leader of the apes.

Seeing that the guardian beast was calling himself, Ah Yan hurriedly dropped the piece of meat and dagger in his hand, and wiped his mouth indiscriminately, but the blood stains did not erase them, but became more dirty.

"Guard, Hiccup, Venerable Beast, you call me. ”

He quickly separated from the crowd and ran out, swallowed a piece of meat in his mouth hard, and looked at Li Hang and asked puzzled.

"You go on. Li Hang roared at the apes who were still quiet, and turned his head, "Ah Yan, you come with me." ”

After saying that, he walked deep into the woods, and Ah Yan followed closely behind him, without complaining that his eating was interrupted.

It's noon, and the dense canopy of the banyan tree blocks out most of the sun's rays, and the shadows of the trees are mottled on the fallen leaves on the ground.

"Ah Yan, do you know 'fire'?"

Li Hang, who was walking in front, stopped and suddenly asked.

"Fire?"

Ah Yan was stunned, scratching his head with his bloodstained big hands, and he didn't understand the meaning of this word after thinking about it for a long time.

Li Hang saw that his face was dazed, and he didn't bother to explain slowly, so he lowered his head and found some dry leaves, swept them into a pile with his tail, and cleaned up the dead branches and scattered leaves around the pile.

Syllable!!

The long tail with a red light slammed at the bottom of the pile of leaves, the leaves were already dry, and Li Hang deliberately controlled the strength, as soon as the whip fell, a wisp of green smoke flashed and sparks floated up.

Crackle!

The dry leaves are not resistant to burning, and with a soft and crisp sound, the flames gradually ignite and grow larger and larger.

Li Hang nodded with satisfaction, looked back at Ah Yan, and was about to tell him that this was the flame.

Well?

I saw that the young ape leader was sweating profusely at this time, his body trembled, staring at the flames, and the pupils in his eyes had shrunk to the size of a pinpoint because of fear.

"Calamity...... Source of Calamity...... Calamity ......"

He muttered, his voice was faint, if it weren't for Li Hang's excellent hearing, he really couldn't hear what he was saying.

"Ahh

Ah Yan suddenly rushed over as if he was crazy, and when he raised his foot, he stepped on it violently, although the fire was still small, it was also hot.

But he didn't seem to feel the pain of the temperature burning on his feet, and his feet were not enough, even if the flames were extinguished, he still had to fit on the ground, rolling, and extinguishing the last trace of white smoke with his body.

"Whew, whew!"

Panting like a bellows in his chest, Ah Yan lay flat on all fours, and he didn't recover from his fear for a long time.

In addition to being startled at first, Li Hang calmly watched Ah Yan extinguish the fire, and he also understood how much impact the existence of "fire" had on the creatures of the primitive era.

Seeing that his breathing was gradually calming down, Li Hang walked over with his tail wagged.

"This is 'fire', I think you've seen it. ”

"This is the calamity, the source of the calamity, there is a great terror, a great terror!" Hearing Li Hang's words, Ah Yan stood up with a crawl, knelt in front of him with a puff, and said with a stumbling voice, his eyes full of awe when he lowered his head.

He didn't expect that the guardian beast of his race could actually ignite calamity, this mysterious spell was beyond the scope of his knowledge of the guardian beast.

"When I was a kid. He knelt down and compared the position on his chest, "So high, I encountered a calamity, the Heavenly Ancestor was angry, thunder and lightning came with calamity, the whole grassland was full of smoke and red light overnight, we used to have more hunting teams than fingers and toes combined, since then, there are only four hunting teams left, well, now five." ”

"I see, a prairie fire. ”

Li Hang thought about it, and then he knew the source of his fear. In this way, it is still difficult to promote "fire" among the ape tribe.

But that's nothing compared to a mission.

"Well, go and eat, and tell everyone that when they have eaten, they will all gather together at the altar, and not one of them will be missing. ”

Ignoring Ah Yan's confusion, Li Hang walked to the altar after speaking, regardless of his guesses.

Seeing the guardian beast walking away, Ah Yan stood up in a complicated mood, he was not stupid, although he didn't know what Li Hang was going to do when they asked them to gather, but the instinctive feeling should be related to the "calamity".

Back in the dining space, the members of the hunting team in the first circle were still tearing the meat pieces to eat, and when they saw the leader coming back alone, they hurriedly shouted to make room for him.

Ah Yan walked over, pulled out the bone dagger, cut a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, the delicious piece of meat was chewed in his mouth at the moment, but it seemed to have lost its previous taste like chewing dry tree bark.

After eating two more pieces, he still didn't dare to disobey the guard's explanation, he coughed a few times and slowly stood up.

"Ahem, don't leave after everyone eats for a while, the guardian let us have something to say in the past. ”

The apes didn't see the scene of Li Hang lighting the fire, so they didn't think there was anything wrong, they silently remembered this matter, and still ate what they should eat, waited, etc.

On the other side, Li Hang dragged his tail and cleaned up the deciduous branches near the earthen platform, and even the branches and leaves hanging from the nearby banyan trees were broken and thrown away one by one.

Then he collected some dry and brittle leaves and branches and piled them up in the clearing.

Judging from Ah Yan's actions, the apes should generally have a strong fear of "flames", after all, if Ah Yan remembers correctly, there used to be more than 20 hunting teams in the group, and according to the proportion, there were at least 400 people at that time.

But a fire killed three-quarters of the clansmen, and even though they didn't take life and death too seriously, a few of the apes who survived the fire could forget the despair at that time.

Even so, Li Hang has to sow the "fire", and he must be quick and master the "fire", so that the apes can improve their survival chances in the wild, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and change their survival patterns.

Of course, it is not possible to raise the status quo of the apes to the initial stage of "slash-and-burn" civilization to the initial stage of "slash-and-burn" civilization, but there is no need for Li Hang to demand that they do this in a short period of time.

......

At the same time, about a thousand meters away from the banyan forest, two tall predators who looked like bears and not bears, dogs and not dogs hid in the grass, twitching their noses and staring at the banyan forest.

"This is where the old lion and his monkeys live. ”

The two predators were downwind of the banyan forest, where they could smell the scent of the apes and Li Hang, but their breath was carried behind them by the breeze.

"You can feel it, the smell of monkey blood, and the smell of strange beasts, it seems that we are not the only ones who want to snatch this territory. ”

"Before he died, the old lion found a new alien beast for these monkeys to guard, but is it useful?"

The two canine bears glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths cracked at the same time, revealing a murderous smile.
