Under the Tiankeng, it is indeed a place similar to the Fire Crystal Mine.

After nibbling, someone dug up the fire crystal. This made everyone's morale, which had been depressed for ten days, suddenly cheered up.

What is the purpose of coming?

Isn't it just to dig out more fire crystals? Since the Tiankeng can’t be dug there, it’s the same when dug out here. Besides, the leader bat has been “closed”, so we don’t have to care about anything, dig hard, thinking that we can dig while the troublesome bat is away. How much to dig.

Another six days passed.

The fire crystals in hand, big and small, have been packed in a bag, and this is only a part of the dug.

Shao Xuan estimates that about half of them have not been dug out.

These fire crystals are enough for all fallen soldiers to use.

Watching Ao open an animal skin scroll, Ta wiped the sweat from his face and asked, "What did the witch say?"

After discovering Huojing, Ao wrote another animal skin scroll for Wu to bring it over to exchange opinions with Wu.

Ao Mian's joy of finding Huo Jing faded a little, and he looked a little serious.

"No one is allowed to leak the matter of Huojing!"

During the break, Ao called everyone over and ordered them not to tell others where the fire crystal was, how it was discovered, and how much it was dug up.

The five hunting teams that came here last time found Huojing in the Tiankeng, but this time, they were under the Tiankeng and dug an underground passage to the bottom of the mountain, which needs to be kept secret.

If you don't go back to your hometown, it's nothing, it's all yours anyway. But after that, they will definitely return to their old places. Once someone informs people of other tribes about this, it will bring a lot of trouble, and even kill a war.

The less people know, the better. Fortunately, this time I brought people from the advance team. These people they all know and understand, more trust.

It's time to go out hunting, and it's time to return to the tribe. Ao did not bring all the people back, leaving some people here to guard and continue to dig. He took another part of the people, and the fire crystals dug up, to meet the hunting team, and then return to the tribe.

Shao Xuan wanted to stay, in case the leader bat suddenly appeared and was rejected by Ao.

"The witch told you to go back.

"

Since it was Wu who said it, Shao Xuan did not insist, and Wu let him go back. There must be something to talk to him about.

When the hunting team returned to the tribe, the people of the tribe knew that the leader led people to look for Huojing. Even if they wanted to hide it, it was impossible to hide it, as long as they didn't tell them the specific place.

Fortunately, many people in the tribe are obedient enough. If the leader doesn't say anything, the witch doesn't say it, so they don't ask any more questions. For them, they can use fire crystals. It's a great blessing, and you don't need to care about other things.

The whole tribe is filled with joy. A lot of good things have happened recently. It's back to the old place, and it's Huojing, each of which can make them happy for a long time.

On the top of the mountain, in the stone house of the witch.

The leader who had just returned from the hunting ground, the two big leaders, and several seniors with high voice in the tribe were all gathered here, and Shao Xuan was also there.

In the past, Shao Xuan was not qualified to participate in such meetings, but now. No one disagrees, and sometimes even makes some decisions. I will also ask Shao Xuan's opinion, after all. Shao Xuan was the only one who went to the old place and came back. He knew a lot more than those who stayed here all the time.

"The tribe will let everyone absorb the fire crystal during the sacrifice next year." Wu said, "However, before the sacrifice, everyone must not relax."

You can't put other things down just because you have fire crystals, and how much you can absorb depends on each person's state and ability. Those who have a lot of dark wounds and old diseases, those who have not recovered from serious illnesses, and those who are malnourished, it is best to adjust their physical conditions to the best before the sacrifice.

This time, it is no longer a matter of a single person or a small number of people. This is related to the entire tribe, and everyone from the mountain to the foot of the mountain must pay attention.

Ao nodded, glanced at the tower and Guihe, and said, "I will take someone to the green space when the time comes, and try to find as many herbs as possible to bring back."

Many of the injuries of the totem warriors cannot heal themselves, so they must rely on medicinal herbs, and the general medicinal herbs are not very effective, so they still have to use the green space.

"Put Huojing here first." Wu asked Shao Xuan, who had been sitting at the very edge, silent, "Ah Xuan, what do you want to say?"

"When I was there, I found that many people have their own methods to detect fire crystals. If we bring a large number of fire crystals, it will be like a living target, probably before we reach our hometown, we will be caught in waves. The people who are consumed, especially the people from the big tribes in the middle, they are not weaker than the people from our tribes.”

Hearing this, everyone, including the leader, froze and looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for his next words.

"I know that some people use a box made of jade to hold fire crystals, which can block all kinds of detection, but," Shao Xuan pointed to the large bag of fire crystals on the middle stone table, and said, "We don't have enough. A jade box is used to hold fire crystals, and jade is also very precious there."

No one around has discovered jade mines, and no one has ever seen jade. It was the ones brought back by Shao Xuan, which gave everyone a preliminary understanding.

Wu smiled, "Don't worry about this."

With that said, Wu took out a wooden box, which also contained Huo Jing, but before opening the box, Shao Xuan did not perceive the existence of Huo Jing.

"This is?" Shao Xuan's eyes lit up.

"This is a box made of 'empty wood'. I believe that the barrier effect is not weaker than that of jade. Empty wood can be found in the green space, cut down, and dried, and can be brought back to make a box." Wu said.

"That's good!" Gui He slapped his thigh, "I'll take someone over there to chop more and bring them back, make more empty wooden boxes, and bring all the fire crystals I dug back to their old places!"

"No, I don't plan to take all the fire crystals." Wu's words made the excited people stunned.

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

Wu Dan smiled and said: "If one day, we return to our old place and encounter a bigger change, we will return here. This is our retreat, leaving some fire crystals is also a guarantee."

inherited. As well as continuation, this is something that every tribe cannot ignore, as a witch. The things he considered were naturally more long-term.

"The fire crystals dug up. It is enough for all the totem warriors who fall during the next sacrifice. The rest, take some of them with you and keep them for later use, and the other part, Ao, you have to put it back into the hole you dug yourself. Go inside the tunnel, then close the tunnel. Cover it up."

As long as those who followed Ao in the past kept the secret of the tunnel. Shao Xuan said that Huo Jing's temptation is very great. Wu believes that when outsiders learn about the news from other people in the tribe, they will definitely look for the past, and the target is naturally the Tiankeng.

What's in the sinkhole?

That half-king-level leader bat! !

"If someone really looks for them...then let them find death!" Wu Yi's peaceful eyes became sharp, causing everyone present to feel cold and tremble involuntarily.

King beasts are not common.

Shao Xuan up to now. It was only known that there was a stone worm king worm in the second stronghold of the hunting team that Mai brought, and that he had felt that kind of coercion at a rather dangerous distance.

Every king beast is not so easy to mess with. Shao Xuan is just a special case. I believe that the king beast can handle those outsiders in the future. Even if the leader bat has not really reached the king level, it is only a half-king level, which is enough to deal with.

Wu's words caused everyone present to be silent for a while before heaving a long sigh.

"It does take more consideration."

"I have no objection to that."

"Just do as you say, Wu."

"This. No need to let anyone else know."

After the people in the stone house had discussed the matter of Huojing, Wu Cai let them leave.

"A Xuan, you stay." Wu said.

Wait for everyone else to leave. Wu said to Shao Xuan, "Remember to prepare for the sacrificial dance at the beginning of next year."

Shao Xuan slapped his face. "Hmm" sounded.

Although those dances were a bit weird, it was good to get used to it. For this, he had to hunt better prey and make new clothes. At that time, it is not good to continue to wear the old clothes at the sacrificial ceremony, it will be laughed at, and it is considered that the strength is stagnant.

Wu Rang Shao Xuan as one of the staff of the sacrificial dance is not only Shao Xuan's contribution to the tribe.

In the year that Shao Xuan left, there were fewer people who sacrificed to awaken the power of the totem compared to the previous year. In addition, Wu carved two beasts, but both failed.

The warriors who raised the beast thought it was their own problem. The beast was not well raised, so the engraving failed, but Wu knew that his own factors were the main factor.

When engraving, the condition of the first batch was not as good as that of the first batch. Halfway through the engraving, I felt that the successor was powerless. When there was one engraving, the totem could not be condensed and formed.

Wu felt that there was also a reason for Shao Xuan. When Shao Xuan was around, things would be much better.

Of course, these witches wouldn't tell Shao Xuan, but every time they thought about it, the witches wanted to go to the fire pond to knock one out for the ancestors and confide in their depression.

Such a talent is not a witch!

Shao Xuan didn't know Wu's depression at all. He went to Ao, and then went to the green space a few times. Before returning to his hometown, he looked for more herbs. One was to prepare for the future. When he went back to his hometown, the place where the medicine was used must be used. It will not be less, but just arrived in the old place, in a short period of time, can not fully adapt, do not understand the geography of the old place, find good herbs difficult.

And another reason is because of Lao Ke. Lao Ke was getting older. Before the sacrifice, he wanted to support Lao Ke more. The better his physical condition during the sacrifice, the more fire crystal energy he absorbed, which would be beneficial to Lao Ke in the future.

In other tribes, the living conditions of disabled people like Lao Ke are not good. Shao Xuan only hopes that he can improve it as much as possible.

Before winter came, the tunnel entrance on Huojing's side had been blocked, and the surrounding area had been covered up, so it was impossible to see that a tunnel had been dug there.

Before winter, Shao Xuan also prepared a lot of food for the children in the cave.

In the past two years, several children who came out of the cave would bring something to the children in the cave every year before winter. Now, the children in the cave have fish they caught and meat sent by others. Much stronger. Well, the chance of awakening is high. (To be continued)
