Time is passing, some fireballs go out, some fireballs move further away.
Shao Xuan's eyes focused on one place, and the situation there was instantly magnified.
A pair of old hands brushed the ground after the rain and held up a mass of dirt. In the white flames emerging from the palms, the mass of dirt rolled, getting smaller and stronger, and finally formed an egg-like shape. , become a stone.
The surroundings were like clouds and fog, Shao Xuan couldn't see his appearance, but he recognized the stone.
However, after the stone was formed, the white flame gradually disappeared, and the figure became blurred, and finally returned to a cloud. The stone flashed white light, not with other fire seeds, but hidden behind a cloud, like the most mysterious star hiding behind.
This is what Yi Xiang said in the past. Shao Xuan wanted to see the future, but his exhaustion was already clear and he couldn't maintain this state.
There is ample time.
Gradually breaking away from it, Shao Xuan felt that his consciousness was slowly returning, and the nerves transmitted the feeling around him. The cold chill reminded Shao Xuan that he was still in this ice and snow continent.
When he opened his eyes, he was still holding the woven golden straw rope in his hand. The surrounding area was still white, but the difference was that it had been covered with a thick layer of snow, and it was no longer white ash after burning.
Except for the one beside Shao Xuan, the surrounding snow was already knee-high.
An eagle chirped sounded from the glacier not far away, and the chatter with a fish in his mouth landed in front of Shao Xuan.
"Waiting for a long time?" Shao Xuan looked at the eagle in front of him, thinking of the scene about Yingshan he saw in the spiritual consciousness world, raised his hand and patted its head, and walked towards the edge of the glacier continent.
Shao Xuan knew that every time he entered that spiritual consciousness world, he obviously felt that it was only a short time, but the real world had passed for a long time. When I first came here, because of the beasts chasing and killing, although there were no major injuries on Cha Cha, but there were still quite a few minor injuries, but now, those wounds are completely invisible, and the new wounds should be from the recent hunting time. Caused.
The remains of the puppet beasts that Yi Xiang brought were already covered with snow and frozen by the newly formed ice shelf.
The originally collapsed ice shelf once again covered the edge of the land and was not as high as before, but Shao Xuan believed that over time, the ice shelf would return to its previous appearance.
The current ice shelf is not as high as hundreds of meters above the sea, but the thick ice layer is enough to withstand the chacha walking on it, not to mention the lighter Shao Xuan.
"It's time to go back."
The surroundings are still very quiet, and the ice and snow seem to reject all life. However, when he exited the world of consciousness, Shao Xuan saw some short-lived pictures. He knew that if those were the future, then this glacial continent would soon become lively.
Looking back at the white and icy land, Shao Xuan jumped on the back of the eagle, "Let's go!"
The sky is not as gloomy as it was when it first came. The sun shines through the loose clouds, and the icebergs coated with a warm light don't look so cold anymore.
After Shao Xuan left, the frozen snow-white world remained, with day and night alternating. One day, on the quiet snow, a figure emerged from under the snow, with a black back and a white belly, with webbed feet stepping on the snow, standing upright, walking swaying, staring blankly at the world of ice and snow in front of him. .
After it, a series of similar figures came out from under the snow, swarmed in groups, swayed towards the seaside, jumped into the water awkwardly, some were knocked down by their companions, and slid directly from the snow into the sea. When in the water, their flipper-like forelimbs act like paddles, swimming nimbly, hunting, and appearing to be excited.
But it didn't take long for the figures who only jumped into the water to scramble to the shore. Some of the movements were too hasty and not only failed to climb up, but slipped down several times, very embarrassed.
Not far from the shore, a slightly round head appeared, black and white, rising vertically out of the water, and slowly spinning, staring curiously around, especially those figures that climbed ashore, stared at it several times. , and then slowly descended back into the sea.
ka ka ka-
The sound of the dull ice and snow plate cracking sounded, and an ice shelf split into a large crack, and the crack became larger and larger, and many floating ice on the water surface swayed greatly. Looking from a height, you will find that there is a huge black shadow below. Approach the water.
bang chi-
Strong air currents push up high water columns on the sea surface.
In invisible corners, there are still many lives that are awakening.
This inaccessible, once almost lifeless frozen land finally ushered in a lively day.
On the other side, Cha Cha flew back along the route it came from, but instead of heading towards the desert all the way, it turned halfway.
This place is far away from that icy land, but the high peaks covered with snow all come into view, giving people a cold feeling, and the wind is blowing like a cold knife.
"Did you walk here?" Shao Xuan asked.
According to the general map spliced in the brain, it is indeed possible to fly to the tribe here, but it has to pass through the mountains and forests where the beasts live.
In the past, it was from the tribe that entered the forest, but now, it is directly over the unfamiliar mountain range. On the towering and uneven peaks, there are several huge flying figures. They are giant eagles of the same size as chirping. Except for the special case of chirping, most giant eagles like this kind of peaks covered with ice and snow. Flying further forward, Shao Xuan also saw the ice fields and glaciers on the high mountains, which were somewhat similar to the environment on Eagle Mountain, but he didn't know whether this mountain range was connected there. This mountain range is too long and too large to see where the ends of the two sides are.
The melted snow merged with the springs emerging from the mountains, flowed through the unfathomable canyons, and together with the currents coming from other directions, they flowed into a great river.
This river... is the river in front of the tribe
Is this the source of the river
What happened to the boundless river back then
That's not right. Shao Xuan felt that when he was crossing the river, the seemingly boundless river should not be as wide as it looks. It's just that his strength was limited back then, so he couldn't see the mystery inside.
There are still many secrets in the world that just need to be discovered. Just like a long time ago, when fire first appeared, if there is no first person to master fire, fire is still an existence that makes all life fear.
On the way to fly along this river, Shao Xuan saw many scenes that he had never seen before. Before, he only set out from the tribe and entered the mountain forest for hunting, and the scope was limited. But this time, it was from another part of the continental plate, going back from another route, and what I saw and felt was different from before.
"You came from the Hui tribe, bypassed the desert, and flew to Yingshan from here?" Shao Xuan asked.
When Shao Xuan went to another continent, Zhacha stayed in the tribe. During that time, Zhacha left the tribe and flew back to the tribe, and went to Yingshan with his companions.
"噍—" Chacha responded, meaning that Shao Xuan guessed right.
Even on a route that has never been flown before, the mountain giant eagles have a natural intuition about the place of belief, and there seems to be a pointer in their minds telling them where to fly. Therefore, no matter where in the world they live, the giant eagles on the mountain peaks who have grown to a certain stage can find the location of the Eagle Mountain. What did the ancestors look like.
On the way back to the tribe, when Shao Xuan was hunting in the forest, he would often look at the various beasts in the forest and think of the distant past that he saw in the conscious world.
That sky fire really changed the world a lot. The rise of man is also because man himself seized this opportunity. Otherwise, even if you can survive the burning, even if you can escape the fire, you will still be squeezed at the bottom of the food chain. The world is always cruel, there is no powerful strength, only the part of being hunted.
When Feifei stopped and finally saw the familiar hunting ground, Shao Xuan's mood also began to relax.
The first time he walked into the forest with a stone knife, Shao Xuan realized that he really came to this world and could not go back. For so many years in Yanjiao, from the beginning of being indifferent, to now really taking Yanjiao as his own responsibility, only Shao Xuan knows the taste of it. After all, in the eyes of every Yanjiao person, Shao Xuan Xuan is still the one who came out of Funiu Cave.
The boundary of Yanjiao finally appeared in the field of vision.
Below, there are patrols who are running around and shouting excitedly.
In front, the witch and the leader have long been waiting there with people.
Yanhe Trading Area.
Bei Mi was showing people the newly bought yard. After they came here, Bei Mi decided to buy a big yard in this trading area in Yanjiao, and sent some people to stay here for a long time to buy gems and other rare gems from another continent. thing.
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard cheers from the Yanjiao tribe on the other side of the river. The sound was so loud that it could be heard even in the noisy trading area.
The horn is sounding, and the people in the flaming corner of the trading area are running in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?!"
The newly arrived far-striders with blank faces quickly asked the others.
And some old people who were familiar with Yanjiao calmed down after being surprised at the beginning. As for the far-travelers who came over to ask, they pointed to the Yanjiao tribe on the other side of the river, "It should be the Yanjiao who doesn't know. The great elder who ran away, is back again." Then he gave the other party a look of "It's a common thing, don't make a fuss".
Next to the artificial channel dug around the trading area, the pterosaur threw a fish into the water, looked up at the twittering dead-leaf bird on the other side of the river, and spread its wings. When flying over the river, he made a few calls to the water as usual.
Several shuttle-shaped figures that were already longer than people jumped out of the water, their bodies with large bone scales swirled in the air, crossed an arc, and drilled into the water again.
(Finish)
What is the truth of history, no one knows.
A little more fantasy, a little more fun.

Extraordinary Yan He Yi Ce
In the dense mountain forest, the big trees that cover the sky have not experienced the depression of winter at all, and the vigorous and powerful branches are stretching out every moment.
The past winter did not affect the vegetation here, and the surrounding area was still lush and vibrant.
This place is not within the territory of the Yanjiao tribe, nor is it on any hunting route of the Yanjiao. There are no other human voices around, only the chirping of birds and beasts.
Yi Ce looked at a small dirt slope slightly protruding from the ground in front of him. More than 20 years later, the stones placed there had been covered with mud and flowers, and he could not see how they looked when they were just laid down.
Here is the burial place of Yi Ce's father Yi Cong.
"it's time."
Yi Ce touched a piece of jade hanging from his neck. It was one of the jades that Yi Cong once used for divination. Except for the jade left to Yi Ce, other jades have been buried underground with Yi Cong. .
Looking at the sky, Yi Ce turned and left.
About half an hour later, Yi Ce came to a place to stand still, and soon, he heard a voice coming from the depths of the forest.
The sound came from far to near, towards Yi Ce's direction.
Ka Ka Ka - Boom -
Among the voices, there was the sound of trees being smashed.
A wolf taller than a human rushed over like a gust of wind. On the wolf's back was a 15- or 16-year-old girl in hunting clothes with tribal patterns painted on her face.
Without looking at the fierce beast rushing towards him, Yi Ce had a smile on his face and raised his hand to say hello to the girl on the wolf's back.
But before he could make a sound, the figure on the wolf's back flickered, and the next moment, Yi Ce was grabbed by the collar and thrown onto the wolf's back.
"Shao Duo, the hunting team is back?" Yi Ce grabbed the wolf fur and asked.
Shao Duo is the second child of Shao Xuan and Gui Ze.
There is a brother on Shao Duo who is two years older than her, Shao Cheng. At this time, he followed Zhacha to Yingshan for a long experience. He has not returned, so he did not participate in the hunt.
Shao Duo also has a younger brother, Shao Xu, who is three years younger than her. It's just that Shao Xu is not very interested in hunting. In comparison, he prefers to follow Gui Ze to study medicinal materials, and then fiddle with other novel things, such as explosives.
Hearing Yi Ce's question, Shao Duo replied briefly, "I'm all back."
"This hunt..."
Yi Ce was still waiting to ask about the harvest of the hunting team, and then heard Shao Duo in front of him: "Don't talk nonsense, put down the pig in the back!"
Yi Ce looked behind him, and a figure was approaching not far away. At the same time, he could hear the sound of some branches being broken. Even if Yi Ce couldn't see the figure behind him, he could tell who was chasing after listening to the movement. Ferocious beast Four Fangs, and the boy of Uncle Spear's family.
Yi Ce clung to the fur on the wolf's back with one hand, swept the other hand over the bushes that passed by, and then threw what he was holding onto the ground at random.
A fierce beast with tusks like a four-toothed wild boar rammed through the woods, riding a boy in a hunting suit on his back.
Without the shelter of the trees, the two sides are not too far apart. The young man could see the wolf and the man in front of him, and he was about to catch up, but the young man saw Yi Ce on the wolf's back. Seeing Yi Ce, he turned his head and smiled at himself. After laughing, his heart suddenly trembled, and before he could shout "Be careful," he heard a strange cry from Four Teeth, his hoof slipped, and the whole beast fell to the ground.
The boy on the back of the beast reacted quickly, raised his arm to hook a branch, turned over and jumped to the tree.
"Shao Duo! Yi Ce! You wait for Lao Tzu!"
How did Si Ya's hoofs, which usually run steadily, step on a slippery fruit
A fruit is also counted. Usually, even if you step on a pile, it may not easily slip, unless it is precisely stepped on the key position of the hoof at that time.
Unfortunately, I just stepped on it.
This kind of thing has happened many times. Except for Yi Ce, no one else can do it... Maybe the Great Elder is one of them. However, the elders will not pay attention to these juniors.
The four teeth that fell, got up and stomped on the ground, taking the berries on the ground to exhale. This level of slippage is just tickling for it, no shit, this behavior is purely venting.
"Stop kicking, hurry up and chase!"
The young man turned over and rode on the back of the beast, motioning Si Ya not to waste time stepping on the fruit, it was business to catch up quickly, he wanted to compete with Shao Duo who was the first to reach the tribe.
During this period, several boys and girls of the same age, wearing hunting clothes and equipment, rode terrifying cranes, cave lions and other vicious beasts.
Shao Duo, who had run far away, rode on Caesar, ignoring the angry scolding behind him.
Shao Duo rode Caesar all the way back to the tribe's mountain. After throwing Yi Ce on the top of the mountain, he went to the stream to brush Caesar's hair.
Yi Ce, who was thrown on the top of the mountain, sorted out his clothes and walked into the stone house in front of him. Here is the place where Shao Xuan, the Great Elder of Yanjiao, works.
When Yi Ce entered, Shao Xuan was writing a scroll of animal skins. Shao Xuan, who is already a husband and a father, has not changed much in appearance, but he feels more calm, as if the restlessness caused by other parts of the tribe will naturally settle down in front of Shao Xuan.
The Yanjiao people, as well as the other belligerent tribesmen who joined the alliance in the Yanhe River Basin, always like to compare and compare when they meet the strong, but since Yi Ce has memory, he has rarely seen those people looking for Shao Xuan to compare. It was the leader of the Water Tiger tribe who roared like thunder and roared whenever he disagreed, and he was as quiet as a chicken in front of Shao Xuan.
After Yi Ce entered the room, he sat obediently and waited, looking out the window, not wondering what was written on the animal skin scroll. This kind of animal skin scroll needs the power of inheritance to record, and it cannot be easily disturbed, so what Yi Ce does is to wait quietly.
About ten minutes later, Shao Xuan carefully rolled up the animal skin he had written before looking at Yi Ce.
"You have already decided to go over?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Yes." Yi Ce got up and gave Shao Xuan a respectful salute.
Although Shao Xuan did not officially accept Yi Ce as his apprentice, Yi Ce learned a lot from Shao Xuan, and Yi Ce has always treated each other with respect.
"Wait for Chacha to come back in a while, I will go to the desert, you go with me, or will you cross the sea with the Changzhou people as originally planned?" Shao Xuan asked. He received a letter from the desert yesterday, which was written by Shi Shu, the lord of Yanling City. A whole animal skin scroll was complaining to Shao Xuan about Sapphire's evil deeds in the desert: How about not interfering with each other? Come and take care of your bugs!
When Yi Xiang left, Yanling restrained a lot and gave in a lot. Shishu personally went out of the desert to negotiate with Shao Xuan and signed a contract with Yanjiao. The Flaming Horns were the only tribe that could go straight through the desert and take a shortcut to the other side of the continent, without having to take a long detour from the dangerous and uncertain sea, which was indeed a lot more convenient. As for the other tribesmen in the Yanhe River Basin, unless there is proof of Shao Xuan's connection, don't even think about passing through the desert safely.
This time, the newly unearthed sapphire smashed the site of Yanling on the desert, occupying an oasis belonging to Yanling. It was a military location where Yanling suppressed the scattered forces on the edge of the desert. How could it be so easy to give up
Therefore, the people of Yanling were anxious.
beat
It's not that they can't fight. Although Yi Xiang is gone, some secret weapons left by Yi Xiang can still be used. However, they dare not fight, it is the worm of Yanjiao Shao Xuan, and they still don't want to face Shao Xuan.
So this time, Shi Shu hurriedly wrote a letter and asked Shao Xuan to mediate, otherwise a war between humans and insects would be staged in the desert.
Shao Xuan promised to go over. Said to be mediation, in fact, he just went to see the current state of Sapphire, whether there is any disadvantage.
Yi Ce also decided to go to another continent and visit the Yi family headquarters in Wangcheng. Back then, Yi Cong sent him to Yanjiao so that he could live better. At that time, the Yi family was in chaos, and many people who stayed in the headquarters became cannon fodder. Now that the Yi family is in power, it is not the same group that they used to be. Yi Ce still has relatives in the Yi family. He wants to go and see.
Yi Ce's divination ability is not inferior to Yi Cong's. As Yi Cong predicted, Yi Ce's talent is extremely high, and Yi Ce can naturally predict that most of those relatives are still alive, including his biological mother, but the situation is not the same. it is good.
Since Yi Ce was going to the other side, it was easier to walk from the desert, so Shao Xuan asked him if he needed to go with him. If Yi Ce wanted to walk from the desert, it would naturally be easier to follow Shao Xuan. After all, the Yanling people looked at Shao Xuan's face, not the Yi family's blood.
"No, I still follow the original plan and travel with Changzhou's fleet." Yi Ce replied.
Shao Xuan nodded, "Also. In three days, the people from Changzhou will come to transport the wood, and then you will leave with them."
"Yes!"
Yi Ce came out of the stone house after hearing Shao Xuan talk about the situation on the Wangcheng side.
Go down the mountain and follow the stone bridge over the Yan River to the trading area.
The Yanhe Trading Zone, also known as "Yanhe City", is the largest trading zone on the continent.
After the fusion of fire, the forces in various parts of the continent were reshuffled, and some people from different tribes followed the example of another continent to form new tribes.
Excursion teams from all over the continent, no matter whether they have been here or not, have definitely heard of the name "Yanhe City". This trading area gathers items from different tribes and continents. It is rumored that there are no items that can't be bought here. As long as you pay enough money, even if you can't buy what you want at the time, you can find someone to inquire about useful information.
Yi Ce often sees far-flung teams from another continent in the trading area, including caravans and organizations, and whenever those people hear Yi Ce's name, their expressions will be very subtle.
The surname "Yi" is basically only used by the Yi family, and the identity of Yi Ce's Yi family is not a secret here, but not many people know which branch of the Yi family he belongs to.
People from the other side of the continent have long lost their reverence for the Yi family. The glory of the Yi family has passed for a long time, and it is no longer a big noble. The influence of the royal city was second only to the nobles of the Ji family of the royal family, and it just declined. A pity, ridiculous.
In the past, Yi Ce heard about the Yi family from others, but now, he has to see it himself.
Yi Ce told Yi Si his plan to go back.
Yi Ce was brought up by Yi Si. When he was very young, he knew that he was not from Yanjiao, but from the same Yi family as Yi Si. However, Yi Si had left the Yi family, but Yi Ce did not. Yi Cong was alive before his death. I also told Yi Si that I hope Yi Ce will return to Yi's house to have a look when he grows up and has the ability to protect himself.
"This day has finally come." Yi Si sighed as he looked at the face in front of him that was 70% similar to Yi Cong.
The Yi family has been in decline over the years, and the people in power are also unreliable. Anyway, he feels that the Yi family is now in a muddy water, and the people who escaped because of the civil war in the Yi family did not want to go back, anyway. It's not good to go back.
However, thinking of Yi Ce's ability, Yi Si felt a little relieved. Yi Ce grew up in Yanjiao. Although Yi Ce has the blood of the Yi family on his body, he has some Yanjiao style in his character, but he usually hides it better. Moreover, Yi Ce was also half of Shao Xuan's students, so even if he couldn't learn all his skills from Shao Xuan, he wouldn't lose to those junkies in the Yi family today.
Yes, Yi Si calls those who are now in power in the Yi family as offal. The once glorious Yi family is like the firewood that is about to burn out, with only some poor sparks left, which can be drowned out by a storm.
Yi Cong once said that Yi Ce is the key to the rebirth of the Yi family's Nirvana, and Yi Si also looks forward to it.
Three days later, the fleet of the Changzhou tribe came to Yanjiao to transport firewood.
There are 30 ships in the fleet, 20 of which are used to transport materials, and the other 10 are arranged separately, such as carrying long-distance teams.
Some expedition teams disembarked from the boat and walked towards the Yanhe trading area, while others from the trading area walked towards the boat.
Yi Ce took his eight slaves and followed the team that got on the boat.
In the boarding team, a younger man looked curiously at the slaves beside Yi Ce, leaned over and asked, "Hey, brother, are you a slave owner? Are you going to follow the Changzhou people across the sea? My name is Dongmai, a small caravan from Chaoqiu City, who came to Yanhe City with the Black Bear Caravan, and this time, I will go back with them on a long boat.”
Yi Ce gave him a friendly smile, "Hello, my name is Yi Ce, Yanhe Yi Ce."
Born in Wangcheng, grew up in Yanhe.
