Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 269 Divination

After that, Shao Xuan didn't use the straw ropes provided by Gui Ze, it was too wasteful. He uses ordinary straw ropes to practice knotting. Although it is rough and has burrs, it does not feel bad if it is broken.

For five days in a row, apart from patrolling and hunting, Shao Xuan spent the rest of his time trying to tie the rope.

Lao Ke didn't quite understand the reason why Shao Xuan was so persistent in playing with the straw rope, but since Shao Xuan insisted, he didn't say anything, and all the discarded grass balls, big or small, were used as firewood.

After failing again, Shao Xuan was a little discouraged, he shoved down the grass ball that bound his fingers, threw it aside, picked up the gourd filled with water and gulped a few mouthfuls.

I just tied a rope, I was sweating all over, but it was much better than the previous days. I could go out and run twice in the whole day. If I can walk in the first two days, it is almost enough, don't talk about running.

After taking some time, Shao Xuan ran to Wu's stone house and talked about his troubles in knotting the rope.

"It just feels that something is wrong, and every time I hit it, I tie my hands." Shao Xuandao.

Wu was silent for a while, then said, "If that's the case, you don't have to think about it all the time, it's better to be more casual. You don't have to be obsessed with imitating the movements of those hands, you can have your own ideas."

Shao Xuan thought about it, yes, anyway, that thing is in his mind, he can't figure it out now, he will try it later. How to say that sentence, "When necessary, you have to learn to be mindless."

Someone once said that people who lack heart are actually very smart, because they can always do things that others can't do.

Comprehending that inheritance is not an overnight thing, and it is not urgent to come, but it affects the mentality.

"I see." Shao Xuan thanked him earnestly.

Seeing Shao Xuan like this, Wu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to praise a few words when he heard Shao Xuan say again: "In two days, I plan to go for a walk in the mountains and forests, it may be a little far, and it should not be possible within three or five days. Come back. Chacha seems to have found a nice piece of stone over there, I want to go take a look."

Wu Ji's heart sank for a while, and then he raised it again, "Just yourself?"

Now the hunting team does not travel far to hunt, but conservatively explores little by little. What they are looking for now is stability, and by the way, they also train the new batch of warriors who awakened this year. But since Shao Xuan said that he was going to travel far away and would not be able to come back in three or five days, Wu was a little worried.

If it were someone else, Wu would not be like this, but the person in front of him is Shao Xuan. It is rare to find such an elder who has inherited the will of his ancestors. Wu hesitated, but still nodded.

"Okay, be careful yourself, don't be in a hurry, don't rush in!" Wu urged.

"I know, you can rest assured." Shao Xuan assured.

Wu was so worried when he heard this, he wanted to grab all his beards.

Two days later, Shao Xuan took the polished stone tools and food, sat on Chacha's back, and left the tribe.

One day after flying away from the tribe, Shao Xuan walked directly in the woods. The sky also needed to guard against other flying birds that suddenly appeared. Shao Xuan didn't want to get in the way in the air.

Walking in the unfamiliar woods, this is not the border area when the tribe entered the forest, it has gone deep into the forest.

The surrounding environment is sinister, many years of hunting experience, and a stronger premonition than others make Shao Xuan very sensitive to those hostile sights around him. Within a certain range, Shao Xuan can also be alerted immediately.

The woods here are very humid, like fog, and the mountains in the distance have become hazy and looming. Here, even a small beast, a low mountain, is very dangerous.

Go further and walk into another forest. The tall and dense branches blocked the light above, and the place where Shao Xuan walked looked very gloomy. A hostile roar sounded not far away, I don't know what kind of beast it was,

They hid behind the thick grass among the trees, staring at Shao Xuan's wild eyes, braving a dark and fierce light.

If they were in the hunting grounds on the other side of the river, the beasts would run away when they saw the people of the hunting party, because they knew that these people were not easy to deal with, and if they went up, they were courting death. However, in this unfamiliar forest, these wild beasts in the forest don't know human beings. For any unfamiliar things, while they are vigilant, they also treat them as prey. Not only will they not run away, but they will also try to attack.

The figure jumping up from the grass, accompanied by the low roar of the beast, announced the start of the fight.

The low beast roar became sharp and frightening, the sound that stopped abruptly, the movement of the blade splitting the flesh, the splashing liquid, and the blood that spread. When Shao Xuan restrained the murderous aura in his eyes and came out with a blood-stained knife, only the blood-stained animal corpse remained in the woods.

As soon as Shao Xuan left, within ten steps, some much smaller beasts rushed out, not at Shao Xuan, but at the corpse of the beast that had been cut in half. They screamed and competed for food. If they can't grab it, they bite each other, and don't give Shao Xuan a second look. However, it won't take long, as the pungent bloody smell dissipates, other beasts will come over to drive away these small beasts and snatch the carcasses.

After flying for a day and walking for a day, Shao Xuan looked at the sky, the sun was already hidden under the mountain peak, and he planned to find a place to rest.

Chacha fought a fierce beast with sharp claws that lived in a cliff cave, drove the beast out of the cave, and then joined forces with Shao Xuan to make the beast dinner.

There are many animal bones piled up in the cave, with a rotten smell, and many large and small bugs crawling around. Shao Xuan lit a torch to drive out these bugs. As for those animal bones, they were all lifted by chacha. went outside the cave.

This can be used as a temporary rest point, and if you come back later, you can rest here.

Shao Xuan took out the animal skin, drew roughly the places he passed along the way, and then marked the place where the hole was. This time, in addition to looking for the stone, he will also draw a brief map of the places he passed, so that the people in the hunting team behind him can explore and hunt.

After applying medicine to the wound and smearing some on Chacha, Shao Xuan put out the fire and took the time to rest.

When I woke up the next day, the sky outside was a little gloomy. I stood at the entrance of the cave and looked out, and the forest below was full of damp water vapor.

"It seems to be raining." Shao Xuan said.

Chacha doesn't like rain very much, so he plans to stay in the cave and go out when the weather is clear. It has been here many times, and I know that the weather here changes quickly. It is raining now, and maybe it will be sunny soon.

He ate some of the animal meat roasted yesterday for breakfast. The animal meat had become cold and hard, and Shao Xuan didn't care at all, while eating and watching the sky outside.

"I don't know when the rain will fall." Shao Xuan walked into the cave, just in case it rained later. The wind here is very strong, and maybe it will blow the rain in.

When sitting in the cave, Shao Xuan saw the rope tied around his waist, and his hands were itchy. He hadn't touched the rope for two days, and he was idle anyway. He took out the rope from the animal skin bag, cut it off with a knife, and held it in his hand to play with. These ropes in the animal skin bag are for spare use. As for the "belt belt" on the waist, of course, they cannot be unfastened.

Just as he was about to tie the rope according to the previous method, Shao Xuan stopped again when he thought of Wu's words. If you follow the previous knotting method, the result must be the same. In the end, you will tie your hands and get a chaotic grass ball.

With a heavy sigh, Shao Xuan closed his eyes, put aside the memories of the past, and just used the rope around his hands aimlessly. When it starts to fall, the rain in the woods, once it starts to fall, it goes fast. This season, it will not rain every day. But, if this gloomy sky doesn't go down, why don't you have to wait?

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan seemed to see the hands again, as well as the rope wrapped around his hands, the rope circling quickly between his fingers. However, this time, the way of tying the rope is different, and the feeling to Shao Xuan is not so chaotic, it seems to have a strong purpose.

This time, Shao Xuan did not distract himself, but concentrated, paying attention to the knotting movement on the hands. And Shao Xuan's hands are also following the movements unconsciously, exactly the same as the hands knotted in his mind!

I don't know how long ago, when Shao Xuan got out of that state, opened his eyes, and looked at his hand, he was shocked to find that the rope in his hand had already tied several knots, instead of tying all his fingers like a few days ago. live.

Did it work?

Or still fail?

Compared with the basic epilogues he had learned before, Shao Xuan speculated on the meaning of the ropes and knots in his hands. Just now, what were you thinking when you tied the rope?

hunting? No, it's not.

Stone? No, later on.

rain? Yes, it's raining!

Thinking of this, Shao Xuan looked strange and excited. If what these epilogues mean is true...

Whether it succeeds or fails again, it has to be verified to know.

Looking at the sky outside, Shao Xuan stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, took a deep breath, felt the damp and cold water vapor in the air, clenched his fist, stretched out his hand, and the heart of the fist was facing upwards.

Silently counting the time.

five……

The fist opens and the little finger sticks out.

Four……

Ring finger sticks out.

three……

Middle finger sticks out.

two……

Index finger sticks out.

one!

Thumbs out, palms open.

Snapped!

A soft sound of liquid falling.

The palm is slightly cool.

Shao Xuan couldn't wait to look over, and then his smile froze.

A puddle of bird droppings lay quietly in the center of the palm.

Whisking the dough, Shao Xuan planned to wipe off the bird feces in the palm of his hand, and was about to withdraw his hand when another drop of liquid dripped.

The second drop, the third drop, the fourth drop...

Dense water droplets fell from the air and were blown against the cliff wall by the wind, and some fell into the hole.

The woods under the mountain were instantly blocked by a layer of rain curtain, and the sound of dense raindrops hitting the leaves and the ground came from below. R1152
