In the winter, the seven beasts that have been successfully engraved by the witch's engraving secret technique have gradually begun to change, and their body shapes and original appearances have changed.
Although before winter, Wu had reminded Lei that they should prepare more food, but these seven have grown up and their appetites have grown, and the food still cannot satisfy them. After all, the level of energy will also change. , as if the middle and advanced totem warriors are not interested in ordinary beast meat, because beast meat is not very hungry at all.
Until the end of winter, each one was similar to what Caesar looked like when he was just engraved. The few that were originally fat and strong became very skinny. Even the fat of the four teeth, it is rare to spend it.
After winter, as in previous years, it is the most important sacrificial ceremony for all the fall.
According to the ancient scrolls handed down by the ancestors, the beasts that have been successfully engraved can participate in the sacrificial ceremony, and the fire will no longer reject them.
So, on the day of the sacrifice, except for the chacha, the other eight were brought to the top of the mountain and stood by the fire pond.
Participating in the sacrificial ceremony means that they officially become a member of the tribe.
This is a very peculiar sight, and it can even be said that this is the only time the tribe has participated in the sacrificial ceremony with accompanying animals for hundreds of years.
Everyone was very excited because they were more fortunate than their ancestors to be able to witness such a situation with their own eyes!
Afterwards, the witch recorded it in detail on the animal skin scroll in the form of a witch scroll.
In comparison, being left at home and needing to avoid the chatter of the tinder flames is much more depressing. Although the appetite has not decreased much, but the spirit can not be compared with before.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the coldness of winter gradually faded away, and it became lively from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
A few days before the first hunt, the few that had been engraved would often go down the mountain for a walk.
In the past, when they were young, they were often bullied by Chacha. Except for the falcon in Guihe's hand and the turtle left in Guize, each of them was caught by Chacha and slipped through the air a few times.
Now, they have become vicious beasts or close to the level of vicious beasts, so naturally they are not afraid of chachas. If the chachas hadn't been able to fly, they would have gotten a little revenge.
Fortunately, Caesar protected him, and did not let those few go to tease and chat frequently.
It stands to reason that when they are both beasts, Caesar is completely incomparable to the other animals. Even in the large genus of wolves, it is a relatively weak branch group, not as strong as the others.
But in fact, after the engraving was completed and he grew into a beast, Caesar's growth was much better than that of the seven. Whether it was the cave lion or the four-toothed spear, they would not dare to really provoke Caesar.
Looking at the little guys who were bullied by it, they became stronger one by one, and Chacha continued to squat in the nest and be depressed.
Seeing such a situation, Shao Xuan was helpless.
After Wu taught this batch of newly awakened warriors, Shao Xuan went up the mountain to have a good chat with Wu.
"I plan to hunt this time, so I'll take Chacha over there to have a look." Shao Xuan sat opposite Wu and said.
Wu understood what "over there" was in Shao Xuan's words, he was silent after hearing the words, and after a while, he went to the inner room, took out a scroll of animal skin, handed it to Shao Xuan, and said, "This is the ancestor. recorded in the scrolls they left behind.”
After Shao Xuan told Wu about the chacha last year, Wu carefully read the ancient scroll and extracted some relevant records from it.
Shao Xuan took the animal skin scroll and looked at the written records inside.
These are only ordinary written records, and, obviously, they are all recited by people, and the expressions are a bit vague.
It also refers to the "cut off place" that Mai said.
When the ancestors opened up the hunting route, they were blocked by a thorny plant and did not go any further. However, when they stood at a high place, they could see the faint mountains in the distance, but because of the plant in the middle, they couldn't go any further.
Therefore, the ancestors called that place "the cut-off place". It blocks the road between the mountains and denies anyone entry.
However, there are some interesting things mentioned here.
Wu said that Chacha is a mountain giant eagle, and the mountain peak giant eagle has its own source of belief and power. Shao Xuan didn't understand it before, so it was written on this animal skin scroll.
It is rumored that the power of the giant eagle on the mountain comes from the abyss snow mountain, which is a giant mountain with no top and bottom, and is covered with ice and snow all the year round. People also call it the Eagle Mountain.
The leader Ao once said that the giant eagle of the mountain came from Eagle Mountain, but now it seems that it is not accurate. Eagle Mountain is the source of their power, and whether it is the place where they were born has not yet been determined.
A long time ago, the ancestors only heard the legend about the giant eagle on the mountain peak, but never saw it with their own eyes. Some people say that the Eagle Mountain is the cemetery of the eagle, and some people say that the Eagle Mountain is the place where the eagle is born again.
There were not many records on the animal skin scroll, and Shao Xuan read it quickly.
"The place where Chacha wants to go, could it be Yingshan?" Shao Xuan wondered.
"Maybe." Wu said.
After thinking about it for a while, Shao Xuan said, "I still plan to follow it to see it."
Wu looked at Shao Xuan, and was silent for a while before saying, "It's very dangerous. You may have no return."
"I know." Shao Xuan has already made a decision, so he won't change it again, "Uncle Mai, please tell me."
Wu did not persuade him any more, he just let out a low sigh.
Knowing that Wu was agreeing with his decision, Shao Xuan grinned and bowed, "Don't worry, I will come back safely."
Wu Zhi felt his eyelids jumped violently, and waved his hand helplessly, signaling Shao Xuan to go out quickly.
For the first hunt this year, there were a few beasts in the team to help. Whether it was the tower or the five small bosses, they all planned to perform well.
When Mai Zheng was discussing the upcoming hunting with Qiao with great interest, he heard the news brought by Shao Xuan.
"You're going to the Severed Land?"
The muscles on Mai's face twitched, and he spoke almost every word. He took a few deep breaths, his fists clenched, and he wanted to beat the person in front of him.
He knew that Shao Xuan was not someone who could give up easily, and last year's guarantee was a piece of shit!
This time, it was better, and Wu was directly moved out. Wu agreed, what can they say? !
"No, it should be the mountain range on the other side of the cut-off place, or it may be other places. Just go over and take a look to see why Chacha always wants to go there." Shao Xuan explained.
It's okay not to explain, but once explained, the Buckwheat couple became even more worried.
They appreciate the fearless spirit of the soldiers who are not afraid of death, but it does not mean that they like to see this kind of courting death. Where even the ancestors did not go, Shao Xuan, who was not even a mid-level totem warrior, could he come back when he went
What a pity! What a shame!
However, this matter was not made public, and it was not until the hunting team went out and the hunting team went from the first stronghold hunting area to the third stronghold that everyone in the team knew.
"The Land of Destruction?! There is no way to go there!"
"A Xuan, listen to Mai, don't go."
"If you go, you won't be able to come back. Really, don't go there. If Cha Cha really wants to go, just let it fly by itself. Why should you follow?"
Everyone in the hunting team scrambled to persuade them. After coexisting in the past few years, their relationship with Shao Xuan has become much closer. , but did not lose to those on the mountain, which gave them a sense of exhilaration.
In the eyes of many veteran soldiers in the area near the foot of the mountain, Shao Xuan's future achievements will definitely not lose to those on the mountain, and he may not be able to live directly on the mountain in the future. Many of them also often use Shao Xuan to spur their own children, such as Sai's father, every time he sees Sai's performance unsatisfactory, he uses Shao Xuan to talk about it, so until now, Sai's eyes have always looked at Shao Xuan. not so good.
But now, Shao Xuan is going to a place where even the ancestors didn't go. Isn't this courting death? !
Unfortunately, persuasion is useless.
How could Wu agree
Everyone does not understand.
But since the witches agreed, everyone no longer insisted on persuading them.
Mai called Shao Xuan over to talk alone, and also gave Shao Xuan a few good spearheads in his hand.
"Uncle Mai, if I still don't come back after six days, don't wait." Shao Xuan said.
Mai hesitated, but finally nodded.
Shao Xuan didn't plan to bring Caesar with him this time. He told Lao Ke about this time. If he could come back, it would be fine. If he couldn't come back, Lao Ke and Caesar would accompany him.
The day before the hunt, Shao Xuan did not bring Caesar with him, but left Caesar in the tribe. When Shao Xuan left, Caesar still followed a distance, and after being scolded by Shao Xuan a few words, he stopped reluctantly.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the hunting team, Shao Xuan called Chacha, then grabbed Chacha's feet, was carried by Chacha, and left from the air. The mountains and forests ahead are not easy to traverse, the road is not easy to walk, and it is time-consuming, but it is different from the air. There aren't many large birds in the area ahead.
When Chacha is standing on the ground now, it slightly exceeds Shao Xuan's shoulders, and it is not too difficult to carry Shao Xuan.
He kept flying through this jungle, and the further he went, Shao Xuan found that there were fewer animals in the forest.
Half a day later, Shao Xuan saw from the sky the "Severed Land" mentioned on the ancient scroll.
It was a rust-colored thorn belt, thick thorns like a water tank and thorny branches covered with thorns like the tip of a knife, intertwined and crowded, making it prohibitive, like a forest of terror, blocking almost everything.
In the crevices of the thorns near the ground, there are some creatures that are not big, but give a sense of danger. Those pairs of blood-colored eyes, like evil spirits, stare at every creature that flies over the thorn belt.
Here, even the fierce beasts that reigned supreme in other places in the mountains and forests would not set foot there.
Looking at the endless belt of thorns in front of him, and then looking at the fast flashing figures in the gaps in the thorn bushes, Shao Xuan decided to take a rest first, and then pass through the air after Chi Chi had gathered up his strength.
