Chapter 142: "The Fire Rises"
As the sun sets in the west, the mottled patches between the banyan trees slowly begin to dim, reflecting on the banyan trees, dragging down a long shadow.
"Well, solidarity is really important. Well, what, let's put the matter of breaking branches first, and you can go back to the team first. ”
The big fly's words made Li Hang slow down for a long time before he continued dryly, and after finishing speaking, he didn't look at him anymore, "Well, now everyone lifts the branch above their heads, and then holds it until it can't hold on, and then puts it down." ”
The apes looked puzzled, but they did so, holding their branches aloft one by one, and stood silently in place.
Li Hang jumped onto the earthen platform, squinted, and curled his tail in front of him to look at them.
A minute passed, and the apes remained motionless.
Three minutes passed, and several of the gathering team of apes began to shake slightly.
Five minutes passed, and the first ape to put his hand down appeared, and it was a little girl about the size of "Jianmiao", who lowered her arms, shook them, and raised them again.
"You, get out of the queue, put your hands down, and you can leave!"
Li Hang raised his paw and pointed at the little girl and said, although the voice was not loud, but the apes could hear it.
The little girl was stunned, but she knew that even if she lifted it again, she wouldn't be able to hold it for long, so she didn't continue to insist.
There were also a few apes, who originally saw the girl put down their arms and wanted to put them down, but when they heard what Li Hang said, they immediately raised the branch in their hands again.
Twenty seconds!
Thirty seconds!
Fifty seconds!!
Even if the apes have a firm belief in becoming "flame envoys", their physical strength will not deceive people, and in less than a minute, more than 20 apes lowered their arms and consciously stepped aside.
The gathering queue could put their hands down and rest, and the hunting queue continued. ”
Most of the failed apes came from the gathering team, and there were only two or three hunting teams, and Li Hang waited for the gathering team to have ten apes left, so he decisively stopped them.
Time passed minute by minute, and the apes standing in the hunting queue did not last long, and in less than two minutes, only ten apes were left to give up.
"Okay, let's put it down!" Since the number of people is enough, Li Hang doesn't have to let them continue to suffer. "From this day forward, twenty of you are the flame envoys of the tribe. ”
Seeing that these apes were about to cheer with surprise, Li Hang then said lightly, "Let's say it in advance, lifting the branches just now is your long-term task in the future, so if someone feels that they can't accept it and wants to quit, it's still too late." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the twenty apes who were about to cheer suddenly stopped, and they looked at each other, and they all looked at the "guard" and stopped.
"Why don't you speak? If you don't speak, then I'll assume that you all agree." Tilting his head to take in the expressions of these apes, Li Hang said playfully.
"Shou...... Guard, aren't we going to follow the hunting team, the gathering team is going out?
I really couldn't guess what Li Hang meant, and the "root" standing in the front row couldn't resist the push and shove of other werewolves, and stood up with a twist.
"Don't think about the rest of the matter yet, forget it, I'll give you a little more time to discuss, and wait under the altar when you're done. Feeling that he was present, the apes might not dare to say anything even if they wanted to, Li Hang turned around decisively and left, and said as he walked.
........
Seeing Li Hang leave, it wasn't until he turned the trunk of the banyan tree and disappeared from sight that these apes began to talk.
"The guardian has gone away, and now they all talk about whether they want to be this 'flame envoy' or not, you have something to say. ”
"I don't think the beast will be so boring and make fun of us, hehe!" the ape who spoke laughed dryly.
"Whether you should be or not, anyway, I will decide on this flame messenger, you continue to discuss, I will go to the altar first and wait for protection!"
"Hey~ Wait for me, I'll go too!"
"Then let's go together, I don't believe that lifting a branch can exhaust people!"
.......
Walking to the other side of the earthen altar, most of the remaining apes gathered here.
"Ah Yan, Hong, Sour Flower, Stone Ball, Jianmiao, you come with me!" Seeing that these apes were idle and had nothing to do, Li Hang greeted him, and walked towards the depths of the banyan forest with the leader of the apes and the four flame envoys.
Since the dead branches and leaves near the altar were burned by him, Li Hang had to take them farther away to find a dry branch suitable for dry firewood.
“...... Remember, the flames are still young, you must not add dead branches directly, you have to use dry fallen leaves to burn the flames, and then you have to watch the mining to add firewood......"
After walking for a while, Li Hang first taught them how to distinguish the difference between finding dead branches and leaves and branches and leaves, and then told them how to take care of the fire source.
"You've heard me say so much, you probably know what firewood is. It was not difficult to distinguish between dead branches and leaves, and several apes quickly nodded their heads to indicate that they understood.
"Then you all go back, and now you will take some of your clansmen with you, and go and collect firewood first, I hope that when I go back to make a fire, I will see enough firewood to burn." ”
Li Hang commanded, but suddenly thought of another thing, "By the way, after you go back, let the 'root' come to me." ”
"Root, what are the guardian beasts doing looking for that shameless scoundrel?"
A few apes were puzzled, but they didn't ask much, anyway, it was the guardian's order, as long as they did it, it would definitely not be wrong.
Not to mention how these people led the apes to collect firewood after they went back, Li Hang didn't wait long before he heard a rush of footsteps.
Syllable!!
Knowing that it was the 'root' who came, Li Hang flicked his tail and motioned for him to come over.
!!
The frequency of his footsteps increased instantly, and "Gen" almost ran in front of Li Hang.
Puff !!
Directly kneel heavily on the ground first.
"Great, honorable, all-powerful guardian beast, you have finally remembered your most devout people, but you have done everything right, see me or not, you are right, really, perfect ......."
"Okay, okay, let me say a few words!" After listening to the compliment of "root" for a while as if listening to stand-up comedy, Li Hang was satisfied, but he was not really carried away by the compliment. "You are very skillful in saying these words, I remember that there are no such words in the daily prayers. ”
Scratching his head, "Root" didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
"I learned these words when I lived in the 'Mountain Fork' tribe, and I haven't said much since I came to the Banyan Tribe.
"Well, then prepare for this afternoon's prayer....... No, what do you say?"
Originally, I wanted the 'roots' to come to the evening prayer to warm up, and it was best to replace the "prayers" with the fleshy compliments he said.
After all, subtly, saying it every day is much better than a dry prayer.
"Great ....."
As soon as Gen spoke, Li Hang interrupted. "What did you say in the last sentence?"
"I'm ........ in the "Mountain Fork" tribe"
