Chronicles of Primordial Wars

In the wooden hut where the tourists rested in the rain tribe, the people who traveled far had a night of rest. As for how they slept, they could see how constipated they looked the next day.

When Shao Xuan opened his eyes, the light in the room was very dim, but with the biological clock formed over the years, he knew that the sun should have come out by now.

The wooden houses here are poorly constructed, and there are many gaps in the roof and the surrounding wooden walls. If there is sunlight outside, it can penetrate through these gaps.

However, it now feels to the people in the house, as if the dawn has not yet come, and the night is still there. There was a little bit of light, but it was mostly black.

"What's the matter?" Tuo rolled over and got up from the wooden bed covered with hay that was slightly above the ground. He also felt that it should be the time when the sun was in the sky, but he didn't see the light it should have. Always feel a little gloomy and depressed.

"Huh?" Tuo said suspiciously.

Shao Xuan also stood up, and as soon as his feet landed, he felt a layer of soft sand on the ground in the house.

creak-

Shao Xuan opened the door.

The gray wind suddenly blew in, making people take a breath.

Opening the door, there was a dim light in the room. With the light, the three of them saw the situation inside the house.

Except for the place where they slept, a thick layer of ash had basically fallen off, and a lot of sand and dust had leaked from the roof at this time.

The people of the Rain Tribe were quite thoughtful. Above the wooden bed, near the roof, they covered a layer of straw mats, and the dust leaked from the roof fell onto the straw mats.

"No wonder I always heard the sound of 妦妦 last night. I couldn't sleep well because of the noise." Lei looked at the situation in the house and yawned.

People who often hunt in the mountains will definitely not sleep deeply. The slightest movement can make them alert, even the sound of sand and dust falling to the ground in a quiet dark night. They can hear quite clearly with their ears.

"In this weather, can we still go?" Tuo asked.

"I shouldn't be able to leave." Shao Xuan heard footsteps approaching outside the house.

Soon, the figure of Reed Ye appeared at the door of their house.

"The team rests here for two days.

Wait until the weather gets better before leaving. "Reed Ye said to the three of them.

"Okay, I see." Shao Xuan replied.

"Also. Be careful, every time there is such a dusty weather in this area, something will come out, be careful." Reed Ye originally planned to warn these young soldiers who came to this place for the first time, by the way. If it is more serious, and those creatures are said to be terrifying, these young warriors who are prone to confusion and love to be taken lightly will be alert.

But, talk and talk. Reed Ye found that the atmosphere beside her was wrong, she raised her head and met three pairs of shining eyes. I don't know what to say after that.

After thinking for a while, Reed Ye was stunned.

Yes, the Flaming Horn people are different from the people from other tribes. These Flaming Horn people live next to the beasts, so why are they afraid of those creatures that suddenly appear? Maybe thinking about how to catch those for food.

What Reed Ye expected was really right, Shao Xuan and the others really wanted to catch a few of these beasts for a change. What the Yanjiao people like most is meat, and those hard dough cakes really can't make them replenish enough energy.

Reed Ye sighed, anyway, his words came to him. Turn around and go to another log cabin informer.

Shao Xuan looked at the sky outside, and there was a ding-ding-bang-bang sound from the Yu tribe in the distance, because there was too much sand and dust, so he couldn't see the situation there. But according to what Yang Sui said, it was building an altar for rain.

Thinking of begging for rain, Shao Xuan sighed and was about to close the door when he suddenly stopped. Lei and Tuo behind him also stopped what they were doing. The three people's eyes swept to the place near the wooden table in the house.

A thick layer of dust had fallen from the legs of the table, and now. The surface of that layer of dust was slightly raised and still moving. Apparently there is something under the dust.

Lei and Tuo glanced at each other and started their hands almost simultaneously.

"mine!"

"Whoever grabs it is whoever gets it!"

The creatures under the layer of sand and dust sensed the approaching danger, suddenly accelerated, and charged towards the outside of the house.

Shao Xuan saw an earth-colored slender and slender figure flashing past the door and rushing into the dust outside.

"It's a snake!" Shao Xuan reminded them to be careful. In such a place, snakes always have the ability to protect themselves, and maybe they are highly poisonous.

Lei and Tuo were still a little restrained in the house, afraid that the house would be destroyed and there would be no place to live. Now that the snake ran out, they were overjoyed and rushed out the door.

The snake under the dust was originally buried in it, but as Lei and Tuo approached quickly, it also bounced out like a spring. It was a snake about a meter long with the thickness of a thumb. It stood up and opened its mouth, revealing two fangs. Venom sprayed out.

laugh--

Standing at the door, Shao Xuan could hear the sound of venom corroding sand and dust.

Tuo first cut off the snake's head, and after cutting off the snake's head, he flattened it with a knife. When they were in the forest, when they caught a snake, they would use this method, because some snakes bit people after their heads were chopped off. After learning a lesson, they used this method every time they encountered a snake, no matter what kind of snake it was. way to avoid future troubles.

"Ha, mine!" Tuo waved towards Lei with the headless snake body in his hand.

Lei didn't even look over there, as if he was listening carefully. Turning around and taking two steps back, he jumped up, his muscles tensed under the totem pattern covering half of his arms. Swinging his arm and waving the stone knife in his hand, he vigorously slashed towards a place.

Bang!

The hard earth ground exploded, and a figure quickly jumped out of the flying clods and the raised sand.

Shao Xuan's eyes narrowed on the creature that rushed out.

pangolin?

No, the tough armor of that creature looks much thicker than the scales of the pangolin, and the body is more slender, nearly two meters. The whole is not slow because of a layer of hard armor, on the contrary, they are very agile.

The creature has been trying to find a chance to run away, or get into the ground, but neither Lei nor Tuo gave it a chance. Under the joint hands of Lei and Tuo, it was cut off before it lasted three breaths.

Not staying outside for a long time, Ray dragged the creature and took the time to skin it. Although this is the first time I have seen such a creature, I have encountered similar ones. It is not unfamiliar when peeled off, and it can be handled in three or two strokes. I do not expect to have excess water to wash. Lei walked towards the house, their food was guaranteed today. That layer of hard armor was not left. Take it with you for self-defense.

They still wanted to catch another one, but unfortunately, the movement just now was so great that even if there were still underground, they avoided it, so they could only wait and see.

Lei and Tuo's movements made the people around who had been resting in the house open their windows or doors one after another, and saw what just happened outside.

Shao Xuan didn't make a move just now. It is to guard against other people, not only in the team, but also some people from the rain tribe nearby. Not everyone in the Rain tribe is friendly to them. Someone wanted to come and grab it just now, but when he saw Shao Xuan staring at them, he didn't take action.

After the three of Shao Xuan entered the room, the others looked away.

"The people of the Yanjiao tribe are really..." Someone said in a room.

Really how, everyone's ideas are different.

The three of Shao Xuan lit a fire in the house and simply roasted the animal meat, although the meat was not delicious. Still got a lot of sand, but it's better than those hard buns.

After eating, Shao Xuan planned to go out.

Lei Hetuo now knew that Shao Xuan knew the current witch of the Rain tribe. Not much to say, after eating, I started to rest. I thought about going to the outside to see if I could catch another one or two when I woke up.

Against the wind and sand, Shao Xuan still went to the small hill yesterday.

Yang Sui still stayed in the wooden house, holding a ox's tail in a daze. Probably came over early in the morning, and a layer of ash had fallen from his body.

"Why do you use ox tails when you ask for rain?" Shao Xuan walked in and asked.

Hearing Shao Xuan's question, Yang Sui regained his senses and looked at Shao Xuan. Shaking the oxtail on his hand, he didn't hide it. This is not a very important secret.

"It is said that in a very early time, the ancestors asked for rain. The stone was used as a sacrifice. Those stones are not ordinary stones, but a kind of stone called rain stone. If you dig in the nearby mountains, you can also dig some. It's black, and it's also very cool on a hot day. Almost all the rain stones we use to pray for rain are the height of one person. When we pray for rain, we hold the tail of an ox and use this as a whip to whip the rain stones."

"Is this going to get rain?" Shao Xuan asked.

"It is also accompanied by a sacrificial dance, but that is all auxiliary. Whipstones for rain are indeed the earliest way of praying for rain. But later, I don't know when, the way of praying for rain changed. The ancestors said that the rain stone Behind, there is the spirit of the ancestors, who is the protector of the tribe's good weather and good harvest. It can eliminate diseases and eliminate disasters. Everyone began to fear the rain stone. Misfortune. Whiplashes don't live long!"

When Yang Sui said this, his tone was somewhat ironic, not that he disrespected his ancestors, but just doubts about some things. And these doubts, ordinary people do not dare, and do not think too much, only those who have the deepest contact will investigate deeply.

The so-called "those who are whipped do not live long" is probably because asking for rain consumes too much inheritance and needs to sacrifice some as a price. A slightly weaker person will probably be exhausted after asking for rain. In addition to what Yang Sui said, it is getting harder and harder to ask for rain. Wu naturally has to bear a great psychological burden. of. Under the dual pressure of physical and psychological, it is strange to be comfortable. If you are weak, you can be drained of all your physical strength and burp when you ask for rain.

"Then why don't you use the ox's tail now?" Shao Xuan pointed to the ox's tail on Yangsui's hand.

"This is for guilt. Ask the ancestors, beg the gods, and forgive our mistakes. The oxtail whip is offered to pay for our sins." Yang Sui swung the ox's tail at will, and sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "I heard that there was once a witch begging. After the rain, I was whipped by the gods."

Shao Xuan slapped his face.

So, begging for rain is the transition from "Does it rain? If it doesn't rain, I will whip you with a whip" to "Begging for whipping and begging for rain"? The people of the Rain Tribe play the s/m game of whipping and begging whipping with their rain god? But it won't rain after playing! (To be continued)
