After the hunting party left, the tribe resumed its usual rhythm of life.
However, compared with last year, the difference is that the riverside is very lively. After experiencing the initial fear of the unknown creatures in the river, because of the benefits of those big-mouthed piranhas, people's fear of the creatures in the river has dissipated a lot.
It turned out that the things in the river are not so scary. As long as you are careful, you can harvest enough food.
On the other side of the cave, under the joint management of Tu and Jieba, life was relatively stable. With daily fish-pulling activities and enough food, each small body was not as thin as in previous years. At the same time, the children in the cave are becoming more and more united. It is impossible not to be united. They can only be united to the outside world. The ability of a single person is too small, and they are not dominant when fishing.
As for the stone worms, now Shao Xuan will take Caesar to catch the stone worms every two days. After catching enough stone worms, they will be stored for the children in the cave.
The stone could not bind the stone worm. Some people put the stone worm in a stone jar, but the next day they found a hole in the stone jar, and the stone worm was no longer there. But Tu accidentally discovered that a wooden tool that was not as hard as a stone and a straw rope could trap them better than a stone tool. Even if it still couldn't be trapped for too long, it was absolutely fine for a day or two. This solves the trouble of Caesar running there every day.
Shao Xuan still went to the training ground to find the stone core in the morning, and went to Lao Ke to learn stone skills in the afternoon.
After more than ten days in a row, Shao Xuan felt that he was much stronger than the time he had just awakened.
It seems that learning stone skills is also of great benefit to controlling the power of totems.
Shao Xuan shuttled through the woods like a monkey, heading towards the place he was optimistic about yesterday. The figure flashed, the branches swayed slightly, and the sound was very small, as if it was just a breeze.
Caesar ran after him.
This place still hasn't left the guard range of the tribe, so Shao Xuan doesn't have to worry about the appearance of any ferocious beasts. The reason why he deliberately controls the sound is just for future hunting activities. Hunting often requires sneaking, approaching the prey quietly, hiding the breath, and a little louder movement can alarm the prey or other incomparable beasts.
Shao Xuan had seen the stealth abilities of Lang Ga and Mai, and Mai was even more silent when he walked, and he was still some distance away from them.
In several mountains in the training ground, Shao Xuan also saw many awakened children from the same group as him, including Sai.
"Hey, that's Ah Xuan?" Said Dad said, looking at the silhouette flashing by in the woods. For those who do not have the power of awakening totems, Shao Xuan's speed is naturally fast and difficult to capture, but for other totem warriors who have awakened for many years, it is nothing.
Sai held a big rock and jumped in place. He had already jumped more than a hundred times with the rock. Hearing his own words, Sai turned his head to look over, and Shao Xuan was no longer there in the woods.
"What are you looking at?! Keep dancing with you!" Sai's father slapped Sai's butt with a stone stick and scolded, "You can't even compare to Ah Xuan, who is two years younger than you!"
"Where can't you compare?" Sai was not convinced.
"Hey, you're still stubborn, I said yes! Hurry up and jump! You can rest after two hundred jumps." Said his father and knocked him with two sticks.
"It's already one hundred and seventy-two!" Just another twenty-eight jumps. Sai counted in his heart, thinking about it, he was a little happy, should he go to catch the flying squirrel during the rest time later, or should he go to find something to eat? I don't know if the crunchy green fruit I ate two days ago is still there.
Sai swallowed his saliva and was thinking with anticipation when he heard his father say with round eyes: "You can't count when you are an old man?! There are only one hundred and twenty-seven, and seventy-three!"
So angry that he almost threw the big rock he was holding. It's just that his father's behavior is like this, he is right if he is wrong, and he has to admit it if he doesn't admit it. Debating with him? will be beaten.
Ma's!
Sai couldn't stare at his father, so he put this hatred on Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan, who did not know that he was charged again, was busy picking stones. There are many stones in the training ground, but very few can be used to make stone tools. Even if he relies on his special ability to identify the grade of the stone, he cannot quickly find the most suitable one, because even a good stone may not be suitable for slicing. Therefore, every morning, Shao Xuan would spend several hours selecting stones, and then go back with a good stone core suitable for slicing.
Following Lao Ke these days, Shao Xuan's identification of stones has also improved a lot, unlike in the past, who looked at every stone the same.
When Shao Xuan was looking for the stone core, Caesar was bored, so he went to block the stone flying squirrel that was digging holes in the mountain and jumping around. Every time Shao Xuan finished picking the stone core, he found several dead stone flying squirrels next to Caesar.
Sometimes Shao Xuan looked at Caesar with guilt, a good wolf, but he was stunned to develop this for himself.
In the afternoon, Shao Xuan went to Lao Ke with the selected stone core.
Lao Ke taught Shao Xuan how to judge the best angle for hitting the stone and the countertop, and what kind of stone is suitable for what to do. After that, Lao Ke sat next to him and watched Shao Xuan knock on the stone leaves.
Taking off the animal skin coat, Shao Xuan got his upper body red, picked up the stone hammer and started to strike.
After the first few days of knocking, the animal skin coat was soaked with sweat, and the water could come out with a little twist. Later, Shao Xuan threw the animal skin coat aside to save the sweat.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
…
The beating sound that rings out every afternoon begins.
One hammer, two hammers... fifty, fifty-one... one hundred hammers... five hundred hammers...
As if tireless, Shao Xuan kept beating the stone core, and the huge stone core became smaller and smaller as the stone leaves that were smaller than the previous days fell.
After hitting one, Shao Xuan did not rest, and then hit the second and third...
When he finished knocking three, Shao Xuan's whole body was as if he had fallen into a water tank and was fished out.
After adding some water, Shao Xuan stood beside him and listened to Lao Ke explaining the details that should be paid attention to when polishing later, how to polish the stone leaves of what shape, and how to polish the remaining stone cores.
Lao Ke said that every stone has its own story, and even the best stone tool masters may not be able to interpret every stone. But every time Lao Ke explained to Shao Xuan, he tried his best to teach the knowledge he had excavated and mastered so far.
Shao Xuan listened carefully, many seemingly innocuous words actually hide many skills.
After a short rest, after listening to Lao Ke's professor, Shao Xuan continued, but the next thing was not filming, but grinding.
Whether it's filming or subsequent grinding, if you want to reach Lao Ke's high standards, you must be more careful in the grinding process, and control the power of the totem more precisely and more precisely.
This is not an easy task. Shao Xuan was immersed in it during polishing, and all his consciousness was focused on the stone tool being polished. At that time, it was even more stinging like being stabbed by an awl, and the pain was so painful that the forehead kept oozing out of sweat.
Lao Ke said it was normal, that was how he came here back then.
Although it is hard work, the effect is also remarkable, and Shao Xuan's control of the power of the totem is also more precise.
Lao Ke, who was sitting next to him, showed satisfaction in his eyes. Shao Xuan's growth is far beyond his imagination. Over the years, Lao Ke has seen many people who learn to polish stone tools, but no one can be like Shao Xuan!
Many people may not be able to achieve the level of Shao Xuan in half a year or even a year or two. Of course, there are also good ones. For example, Lang Ga only took less than fifty days. Lang Ga's grandfather is still in front of Lao Ke. Whispered with a beard up.
However, how long did Shao Xuan learn? Only ten days!
In fact, Lao Ke really wanted to go up the mountain to find the old guy who made the bow and have a good "talk", but, let's wait, wait...
Just thinking about how "good-looking" the old guy will look when he finds out, Ke's eyes suddenly narrowed and his eyes widened, as if he saw something incredible.
Shao Xuan has totem lines on his body, which is not unusual. When learning stone skills during this period, Shao Xuan will use the power of totems, and the totems on his body will naturally appear.
What Lao Ke was shocked was not the totem pattern. What he saw in front of him was even more unbelievable than when he saw Shao Xuan playing with the power of totem!
Everyone in the tribe knows that the newly awakened warrior will only display all the totem patterns on his body when he wakes up by the fire. At the arm, slightly over the shoulder, the totem pattern on the leg will also shrink upwards.
Therefore, when the power of totem is used after awakening, the totem patterns displayed are no more than elbows, but knees, which is the sign of a junior totem warrior. When the totem tattoo goes from the elbow to the knee one day, it is time to upgrade from a junior totem warrior to an intermediate warrior. This is the most direct and effective way to identify the level of a totem warrior.
During the hunt, when the warriors faced countless dangerous beasts and life threats, they made breakthroughs again and again, and the totem pattern would extend, but the length of the extension was also limited. Many people had decades of hunting experience. The pattern can't be over the elbow or the knee, that is to say, they are still in the stage of junior totem warriors, and the progress is extremely slow.
But what about Shao Xuan now
Lao Ke's eyelids twitched. He clearly remembered that when Shao Xuan came over to learn stone skills and used the power of totems, the totem patterns on his upper arms were just over his shoulders, just like other people who had just awakened.
And now, the totem pattern on Shao Xuan's upper arm has extended the length of a little finger to the front of the arm!
Before this, Lao Ke didn't pay attention to the totem lines on Shao Xuan's arm. Just now, he was just thinking about when Shao Xuan could reach the level of an intermediate fighter, and glanced at the totem lines on Shao Xuan's upper arm. He didn't expect such a discovery. He could see the slightest error on the stone tool, how could he not see the length of the totem pattern on Shao Xuan's arm? !
Don't underestimate the length of the fingers in this section, this is something that some people may not be able to do for years!
But how long did it take Shao Xuan to wake up
At this speed, how far will the intermediate totem warrior go
Lao Ke only felt that his eyelids twitched even more.
