Encountering the Wanshi tribe, the people who made the Lu tribe talk about it in high spirits were much quieter.
As the Lu tribe's motorcade walked some distance, Shao Xuancai said goodbye to them. Here, Yanjiu and the others' motorcade were going to the direction away from the beasts and the forest, and Shao Xuan was going there.
"It's not far from the Wanshi tribe, you can follow us and go further." Yanjiu suggested.
"No, you don't have to worry." Shao Xuan pointed to the sky above his head.
After seeing the eagle circling in the sky, Yanjiu remembered that Shao Xuan could indeed use the eagle. After all, they had never heard that the Wanshi tribe had domesticated eagles, so the air should be safer.
"Anyway, be careful with the Wanshi tribe." Yanjiu said.
"Okay, thank you, oh, that's right!" Shao Xuan took out a stone tablet, the one Wu gave him, with the totem of the Yanjiao tribe painted on it.
Showing the stone sign to those in the Lu tribe car, Shao Xuan said, "This is the totem of our tribe, many people may not know it now, but I believe that everyone will remember it soon. "
The people in the car looked at the totem on the stone, but did not notice that what Shao Xuan said was "everyone can remember it". They were sure they had never seen or heard of this totem, but in order to show their friendship and for the sake of Shao Xuan helping them, they took a few more glances, thinking that they would probably never see it again.
Noticing the expressions of the people in the car, Shao Xuan didn't say much, just smiled, then put away the stone plaque, said goodbye to the people in the Lu tribe caravan, made a gesture in the air, and jumped on the back of the eagle after landing. .
"goodbye!"
Waving at Yanjiu and the others, Shao Xuan patted the bird's head, "Let's go!"
Looking at the figure flying away in the air, the person in the car withdrew his gaze.
"You said, will I see Shao Xuan in the future?" Someone asked.
"I think the people of the Yanjiao tribe should be good, at least much better than the people of the Wanshi tribe. If the Yanjiao tribe is not too far away, you can go to their tribe. It's a pity..."
Several people were talking about Shao Xuan and the Yanjiao tribe. After a while, they found that Yanjiu had not made a sound, and someone asked, "Yanjiu, tell me what you think."
Iwato regained his senses and looked at the other people in the car: "What do I think?" Raising his finger and pointing to the direction of Chachafei, Iwato said, "Don't you think there is a problem with that direction?"
"That direction? Ah!!"
Just now, I only thought about the "Flaming Horn Tribe" and their tribe's totems that Shao Xuan mentioned several times. Now that I think about it, I realize that the direction of Chachafei is exactly the direction of the Wanshi Tribe and the Fierce Beast Mountains.
"Why did he go there?"
"Did you take the wrong direction?"
"… Can I see that kid again in the future?" Someone asked worriedly.
The Ferocious Beast Forest is the only vast and dangerous land that directly borders the central region. In other directions, after exiting the central region and then going outside, there are many small tribes in the marginal area. Only this place is recognized as a dangerous place. Even the Wanshi tribe seldom goes inside. Everyone who enters the forest is basically walking with others and in groups. Even so, many people will die in the forest. Nobody wants to live there.
It is said that in the past, the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest was still a little far from here, but later it expanded towards the middle.
"Alas!" Yanjiu sighed, shook his head, and stopped talking.
On the other side, Shao Xuan sat on Chacha's back and looked at the ground below.
He saw the team of the Wanshi tribe that he had encountered before. After crossing the team, he flew for a while and saw the habitat of the Wanshi tribe.
Compared with the previous Mang tribe and Weiba tribe, the style of Wanshi tribe is more primitive and barbaric, but these people love to decorate, and there are bone or stone ornaments hanging everywhere in the house. There are many people in the tribe, and they also keep some livestock, but it doesn't seem to be farmed, it's more like robbed from other places, and then raised in captivity. Eat and kill directly. Also, winter seems to be coming soon.
I just don't know if it will snow here in winter. Shao Xuan thought to himself.
I don't know what happened to the Wanshi tribe, there are many teams running, like they are looking for something.
Shao Xuan has no plans to communicate with them for the time being. What he wants to do most now is to visit the hometown of the Yanjiao tribe that Lao Ho said.
The totem flame in my mind has already begun to churn. The closer it is to the other side, the more violent the tumbling, so active, as if something is attracting there.
Although the Wanshi tribe did not tame flying beasts, if they flew over the tribe at a low altitude, they would definitely be attacked intensively. Chacha flew over the Wanshi tribe from the high sky, and pulled some excrement while flying, and called out, the voice sounded very pleasant.
Below, the Wanshi tribe team, who were running to find someone, heard the eagle chirping from above, looked up, and held bows and spears in defense. Sometimes there will be some birds running out of the mountains and forests, and then grab their food, and sometimes people, so when you hear the eagle chirping, you watch the eagle in the sky vigilantly. Just wait for the eagle to fly low before attacking.
But after waiting for a while, instead of waiting for the eagle to lower its flight, I waited for some bird shit. Bird droppings fell on the head, on the house, and in the animal pen with food. Those who couldn't escape, wiped the bird feces on their heads, and shouted and scolded, but they couldn't hurt the perpetrators in the slightest.
The animals in the animal enclosure were disturbed by these bird droppings and ran around, for fear that the eagles in the sky would capture them. Driven by a sense of crisis, these animals who were trapped and had not been well cared for became anxious, and the action of hitting the fence became more and more intense. Those who could not hit the fence would hit other animals beside them. Anyway, many of them are not the same kind.
A sheep whose horns had been cut off was driven by a cow to run around in circles, barking as it ran; an old cow that was grazing was kicked by a horse behind it, and fell directly into the haystack, and got up angrily. Go to war with that horse.
The riots in the animal enclosure forced the people of the Wanshi Tribe outside to send in manpower to suppress it.
Chacha didn't even know that the bird feces he pulled along the road caused a riot in the Wanshi tribe, and after pulling it refreshingly, he flew Shao Xuan in the direction pointed by Shao Xuan.
Compared with the place where humans are active, the forest in front makes it feel more comfortable.
Flying into the forest, the complicated movements of those human tribes have disappeared at all.
There are more and more birds in the sky.
If Shao Xuan is on Chacha's back, Chacha's flexibility will be limited, and Shao Xuan's strength will not be able to be exerted, so he asked Chacha to put him down and sneak in the forest, by the way, take a good look at this strange but strange place. A zone of familiarity.
The human civilizations I have seen before are gradually disappearing, and here, everything has returned to its most primitive state.
No house, no motorcade, no delicately woven clothes, the cruel rules of nature, staged again.
Shao Xuan stood on a tall tree, looked at the forest in front of him, and took a deep breath. With just one breath, he could smell those uneasy and dangerous factors from the air, but he did not have any timidity. On the contrary, a long-lost excitement grew stronger.
Jumping down from the tree and walking through the woods did not require a transition period. Almost as soon as he stepped into the forest, Shao Xuan had already adjusted to the best state.
If Qu Ce of the Mang tribe and Xu of the Weiba tribe saw Shao Xuan now, it would be hard to believe. After all, it was Shao Xuan's undisguised brutality and violence that left a deep impression on them. The style, and now, is very different.
Nimble, swift and stealthy, like those fierce beasts who are good at raiding, they are cunning and dangerous. There is not a trace of superfluous aura exposed, as if it has already been integrated into this mountain forest.
There are many wild beasts and fierce beasts in the forest. There were times when Shao Xuan passed by those beasts. He was alone here. When he was not hunting, he did not want to provoke those fierce beasts. Predator, he has to save his strength to find his target.
Every force is used in the right place. To survive in the mountains and forests, you have to use the least amount of effort to get the best results, and leave the rest to save your life.
A vine quietly approached Shao Xuan from the rear, and even the rubbing sound of the scorpion was barely audible. A bud-like thing on the top of the vine suddenly opened up when it approached Shao Xuan, like a big tooth with fangs. His mouth bit towards Shao Xuan's leg.
The shadow of the knife flashed, the "big mouth" at the top of the vine was cut off, and some dark green juice flowed from the incision of the vine, and then quickly retreated.
Shao Xuan didn't look at the vine much. He had seen many such plants in hunting grounds before.
It's almost there.
Shao Xuan already felt the excitement of the totem flame in his mind.
A boulder caught Shao Xuan's attention.
The boulder stood there, which seemed out of harmony with the surrounding environment. The boulder was also covered with some thick moss and various rotten leaves.
After investigating the surroundings, he found no dangerous objects. Shao Xuan approached cautiously and scraped the thick layer of moss with a stone knife. There were some deep dents on the surface of the stone where it was exposed.
After scraping off a large piece of moss, I simply cleaned it up, so that the dents on the stone can be seen more clearly.
The surface of the boulder is engraved with some paintings, very flaming double-horned patterns in the style of flaming horns, and some words.
Probably because of some reasons, some parts of the stone were worn, and many dents could no longer be connected. Only the largest two words were "flaming horns", and the other smaller ones were difficult to identify.
"Flaming Horn", remove these thick moss and rotten substances, and finally see the sun again.
Just like the rock paintings of the Weiba tribe, these giant stones also acted as a boundary monument, telling everyone who came here that this was the territory of the Yanjiao tribe.
Apart from the boulder, Shao Xuan discovered several such boulders, with different sizes and different wear conditions. Some of them seemed to be cut in half, while others were mostly buried underground.
Lao Ho said that the roots of the Yanjiao tribe are still here.
Before he came, Shao Xuan didn't know and couldn't feel it, but now, stepping into this area, Shao Xuan felt that there was an attraction there, attracting him to the past.
It was obviously the first time to come, but it made Shao Xuan feel inexplicable familiarity. Shao Xuan understood that this was the reason for the fire and totem.
Following that attraction, Shao Xuan approached quickly, and in the process, Shao Xuan also discovered a phenomenon.
It seems that the closer you get to that central area, the fewer beasts you see.
Perhaps, as Lao Ho said, the root of the flaming horn is still there, so, just like the deterrent of fire to wild beasts and beasts, here, there is also a certain effect, but it is not as obvious as fire.
Without more beasts interfering, Shao Xuan moved faster.
The farther he went, the more traces of the tribe's existence that Shao Xuan could find.
Such as houses, such as some towering stone pillars.
Because of the time in the past, some have lost their original shape, coupled with the changes in terrain, the damage is more serious.
There are no people, and the beasts rarely approach. Here, almost all kinds of plants are covered, but compared to the growth state of those plants in the mountains and forests, the ones here are slightly better, and they are not too lush, at least they will not let the plants grow. Cover it up completely.
The collapsed house had already become a habitat for plants and microorganisms, and Shao Xuan had to scrape off a layer to see the real work below. The wooden things have long since decayed, leaving only some stone ones, and in some places, the remains of some pottery can be dug up.
Shao Xuan walked in this place, no longer scraping and digging, just looking at this area where no one has lived for nearly a thousand years.
Some of the stone houses collapsed to the ground, others were half on the ground and half in the water, and a small stream ran by, washing away the stones that looked like tiles.
Without the shelter of tall trees, the tall and thick stone pillar is very conspicuous.
However, the stone pillar was already covered with green vines. Shao Xuan struggled to pull all the vines down, and he had to be careful not to damage the stone pillar.
The vines were torn down, and the engravings on the stone pillar were also revealed. Compared with the boulders like the boundary monuments that I had seen before, the patterns on this stone pillar were better preserved and clearer.
The flame double-horn pattern, as well as some written records, as well as paintings that Shao Xuan can't understand.
Is this for the sundial? Or for worship
Maybe a sundial? Shao Xuan thought to himself that sacrifices were usually near the fire pond, and the place where the fire pond was should be the place Shao Xuan was looking for.
The sun is gradually setting, and the afterglow shines on this remnant, adding a sense of desolation of history.
Shao Xuan stood on the tall stone pillar and stared into the distance. Under the reddish sky in the distance, there were rolling hills and woodlands.
No matter how brilliant it was, it is now just a remnant of overgrown weeds.
With a long sigh, Shao Xuan got down from the stone pillar and walked to a place.
There, there is nothing special about it, it's just a little flat, with some not-so-high plants growing above it, and scattered little flowers.
After walking around there, and then stopped at the center, Shao Xuan squatted down and pressed his hands to the ground.
He felt that below, something seemed to be beating and flowing.
