Torrential rain pours.
The raindrops were densely packed and hurriedly hit the ground, and the sound of muddy water splashing sounded everywhere.
The leaves were beaten with a swishing sound, and listening to the sound made people feel that such raindrops would pierce the leaves when they fell.
In the rain curtain, a figure flashed through the woods. Stone needles as thin as toothpicks penetrated the rain curtain, pierced through the dense branches at high speed, and with a "duh" sound, pierced a short arm thick wood hanging there. on the pile.
At this time, there were already quite a few of the same stone needles pierced on the stake, and from different angles, the hanging stake was stabbed like a hedgehog.
There are many such wooden stakes hanging nearby, some in the grass, some hidden in the bushes, and some hanging from the trees.
stab -
After a quick dragging sound, the wooden stakes placed in different places accelerated their movement, and at the same time as they moved, stone needles flew out.
duh duh!
On the grass, in the bushes, hanging in the air... Wherever, there are some more stone needles on the stump.
The raindrops that slammed into the ground did not make these stone needles deviate by the slightest!
call!
The figure galloping under the rain curtain in the forest turned over, jumped over the branches blocked in front, and landed steadily. The sound of the landing was inaudible in the surrounding raindrops.
Shao Xuan wiped his face and went to put away the stake.
He trains like this these days, first with spearhead darts, then with thinner stone thorns, and now with stone needles that are even thinner than stone thorns.
Thinking of the kind of white hair that I encountered when hunting in the green space, it is so soft, but it can pierce through thick wooden boards, and the body of the intermediate totem warrior can't resist it. The material of the white hair is one reason, and the other is more important. The factor is that the white hair shoots out very fast!
Shao Xuan is trying this, and hopes that one day he can directly pierce the plank with a thin piece of grass, but now, he can only practice step by step. .
It's not even close.
Because it has been raining in the past few days, Shao Xuan didn't let Lao Ke come out. With such a heavy rain, it was purely a sin to come out.
Every time Grid went to Lao Ke to find some stone tools, he would ridicule Lao Ke for becoming "weak". Before going up the mountain, he used crutches and gritted his teeth to move up step by step, and he would not use anyone's help when he went out. Now what? Lao Ke went out and rode Caesar, went up the mountain to lean on Shao Xuan's back, and won't go out until it rains. What a squeamish Tamar!
Lao Ke is not annoyed, what should I do, I don't hear it at all. Gna is totally jealous, pantothenic water! He wouldn't even tell Ge that Shao Xuan had brought him back-up herbs from the witch. He was in the rehab period. He used to have a negative mentality and lived at will. Now, he still wants to live a few more years, see See how far Shao Xuan can go.
Caesar and Chacha were left on Lao Ke's side. Shao Xuan sometimes wondered whether to expand the house and let Lao Ke move in with him. Anyway, he was alone at home, and Lao Ke was alone. , to save running twice a day.
While thinking about it, Shao Xuan was also picking up the stakes and the tangled straw ropes in his hands.
Last year, the specific start of the rainy season was after the next hunting. Unfortunately, it was earlier this year. The witch asked everyone to prepare, and the hunting team that was going to start hunting also postponed the time to go out.
Behind Shao Xuan, a snake-like slender insect sprang out from a tree. Unlike the snake, it had many feet on its body.
Spitting out a letter like a snake, it stared at Shao Xuan under the tree, its body silently sliding down the tree trunk, and its thin feet allowed it to stay firmly on the tree trunk.
When approaching Shao Xuan, it twisted its body, turned its front half back, completed the "S" shape, then aimed at Shao Xuan, like an arrow from the string, opened its mouth and bit the back of Shao Xuan's neck!
Shao Xuan didn't even look behind him, he just raised his hand seemingly casually, and when it was only half a palm away from the back of his neck, he stopped in front of him and strangled it tightly.
Fingers squeezed slightly.
click! puff!
The worm's head and body were separated.
Shao Xuan flicked his fingers and slammed the insect's head to the grass on one side, while the headless insect body swung to the woods on the other side when he retracted his hand.
During the whole process, Shao Xuan didn't look at the bug at all.
After packing up the stone needle, Shao Xuan got up and glanced around.
He had encountered that kind of bug several times in the past two days. He heard that every year during the rainy season, they would burrow out of the ground. Not only this bug, but other creatures emerged one after another from the ground. But outside of the rainy season, the bugs are rarely found in the few hills of the training grounds.
Walking back on the muddy ground, Shao Xuan suddenly raised his foot and kicked a stone under his feet. The kicked stone, carrying muddy water, shot directly at a grass field.
A scorpion-like insect with two palms that had just emerged from the ground was pierced by a stone.
Lao Ke said that these insects that come out of the ground in the rainy season will take the initiative to hurt people, and they are very poisonous. Don't be bitten by them, and kill one if you see one.
I heard that some bugs will run to the tribe, so during the rainy season, the children of the tribe who have not awakened to the power of totem are locked at home, and everyone will sprinkle a kind of grass juice around the house, which has a certain effect of repelling insects.
"Ugh-"
There was a loud bang from across the river.
The soldiers in the surrounding training ground only felt a chill go straight to their foreheads.
Shao Xuan was almost at his place of residence, and there was no hill to block him, so he climbed up the tree and looked at the big river in front of the tribe.
In the rain curtain, the figure jumping on the river was not clear, it was too far away. But even if the figure jumping up in the distance from the river is far away from the tribe, it is not fully exposed, but its huge size can still be inferred.
This is what really stopped the tribesmen from exploring the river.
Fear of the River Beast, the creature that dominates the river with no edge. The word "fear" that the tribes gave to it can show everyone's fear of it.
Although the huge terrifying river beast can't see what it looks like, just seeing such a body shape and hearing such a voice already makes people feel an unmatched sense of depression.
When they do, it means the real rainy season has begun, not just an occasional storm. This is the same as Wu predicted.
The rainy season is really early.
When the Fear River Beast jumped up, the roar sounded like a whistle resounding loudly in the ear, piercing the eardrum as if it would burst. But when the huge river beast submerged in the water again, it would make a muffled sound like thunder, not harsh, but even worse than the previous one, making it feel like the chest was being slapped again and again by a heavy hammer. If you put a glass of water in the house, you will see the water in the glass vibrate violently.
At this time last year, Shao Xuan, like other children in the cave, covered his ears and hid in the cave. The sound was torment for them, and many people shivered.
It's not just the children in the cave. At this time of year, the children of the tribe stay in their own homes and plug their ears with things, but they still can't relieve the discomfort caused by the sound, and some people have ear and nose bleeding.
Perhaps the rainy season is a joyous season for those dreaded river beasts, who leap out of the water frequently and seem happy. Even though they were far from the riverbank, the image they brought did not diminish. For the tribe, the rainy season was a disaster. The only fortunate thing is that the fear river beast will not approach the shore, let alone go ashore. Otherwise, the tribe might have long since ceased to exist.
When a huge terrifying beast appears, an emergency meeting will be held in the tribe, and the leaders of the two hunting teams will assign people to go down the mountain to be responsible for defense. This is also the rainy season guard battle that takes place every year.
During the rainy season, something may come out of the river, which is why the tribe's hunting party delayed going out, they had to guard against the creatures in the river.
