Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 702 From Ancient Times

As soon as they saw the flaming horns, they began to fish, and the people from the Changzhou tribe moved faster.

The people of the Taihe tribe heard the movement, and regardless of the state of apathy, they came out to watch the excitement, and after watching for a while, they even helped.

There are many boats from the Changzhou tribe, but the people from Taihe must be helping Yanjiao. When they see so many people from Taihe, they start to help Yanjiao. It's because of their Longboat Tribe's boat!

ungrateful!

No matter how unhappy the woodcut is in his heart, the fact is that Taihe's people are all towards Yanjiao.

Pieces of ice that were frozen with unknown things were fished out. Some had only a small one inside, some seemed to have several worms frozen in them, and there were also small animals and things similar to fish.

"What exactly is frozen in here?" Dokang was curious for a while. Through the ice cubes, he can roughly see what is frozen inside. However, he has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, but he does not know any of the things in the ice cubes. He has never seen them, at least in the mountains and forests. Hunting until now, never seen these.

"I haven't seen it either." Although Guangyi is blind, he still has an impression of animals, but he doesn't remember having seen these insects and beasts.

Yu You, the leader of Taihe, also shook his head, they had never seen this before.

"Hey, Changzhou's, have you met?" Duokang looked at a member of the Changzhou tribe.

"No, I haven't seen it before. It must be from the sea!" The warriors of the Changzhou tribe had a happy expression on their faces. They felt that they must be from the sea as their leader said. Big and small beasts?

For the people of the Changzhou tribe, everything in the sea is fresh and rare, and they need to explore, these are treasures!

"How can this be in the sea? It seems that it should live in the grass or the woods." Dokang looked at the ice cubes and disagreed with the tunnel. Some he is not sure, but some look at the appearance, he can rely on what he saw and heard in the mountains and forests when hunting. Infer where those unknown creatures should live. What it looks like is related to the living environment, it is impossible to grow like a stone worm and fly to the sky.

"Just, where did these come from? Where were they originally born?" Yu You was also very puzzled.

It's fine if it's just one kind, but these worms and beasts caught in ice. Taihe, Yanjiao, and Changzhou, the three tribes, no one has seen, no one knows!

Shao Xuan looked at the direction where the ice cubes were floating,

It was the wind that pushed the ice this way. When they came out, the wind on the sea was different from the current one. Even if there were frequent changes, the wind had a main direction. Now, probably because the winter is fading away, the floes will be pushed this way.

In the direction where the ice floes are floating, there may be more such floes farther away. But now is not the time to go there to look for floes, their main thing is to return home safely.

The fleet did not change direction, but slowed down temporarily. Take those ice floes that are frozen and look at them.

Some of the ice floes melted, and some of the insects and beasts inside were exposed. They were bitten by fish in the sea. They were incomplete and severely rotted, while those frozen in the ice were still close to intact, two extremes. The exposed ones will rot and be eaten, and the frozen ones will continue to maintain their original appearance.

Most of what they fished out were ice cubes that completely frozen the contents, those that were half-rotten. If there are bite marks, even if they are fished up, they will just look at them curiously and then throw them back into the sea.

"It is rumored that the direction is extremely cold." Yu You said suddenly.

"A place of extreme cold?" Shao Xuan asked.

"That's also seen from the notes left by our ancestors of Taihe. I didn't think about it before, just when I saw you looking in that direction, I suddenly remembered that there seems to be such a thing." Yu You said, "There are specifics over there. We have never been there before, so we don’t know what it is like. The ancestors have only heard about it, and there are few records. Since it is an extremely cold place, it must be sparsely populated, so few people mention it.”

The weather is bad, the climate is not suitable for survival, there are few people, and everyone is reluctant to go there.

Yu You was still sorting out the ancestors’ handbooks while waiting for a reply, and flipped through them inadvertently, but he didn’t care at the time. The world was so big that they couldn’t go to every place, so they only focused on things related to themselves and the tribe. Just didn't expect this to happen.

As soon as Yu You mentioned the "extremely cold place", Shao Xuan had a guess in his heart.

Regardless of whether there are polar regions, if what Yu You said is true, and the rumors heard by Taihe's ancestors are also true, then there must be icebergs in that place, and these small fragments may have split from the icebergs.

However, Shao Xuan guessed that the most likely event was a cataclysm between heaven and earth that caused the iceberg to break away from the main body and float on the sea. If the temperature is low and the iceberg is large, it can exist for a long time.

These fragments may be on one of the icebergs. As for how the iceberg split into so many small pieces, there are too many possible reasons, and they have no way of knowing.

"Qingyi, you have swam in the sea, have you seen these? These should be living in the water." Dokang pointed to two of the creatures with fins and said.

"I haven't seen it, and I haven't seen it in the river." Qing Yi squatted beside him and looked curiously at the strange-looking insects and beasts.

Seeing that Shao Xuan seemed to be thoughtful, Duokang asked, "What's your guess, Shao Xuan?"

Qingyi, Guangyi, and Yu You also looked at Shao Xuan, waiting for Shao Xuan's answer.

"These..." Shao Xuan pointed to a few ice cubes that could see most of the worms and beasts inside, and said, "These may not be things that exist now."

"What do you mean?" Timber also came over.

"The period of their existence may have been a long, long time ago." Shao Xuandao.

"A long time ago? How long is 'a long time'?" Timber asked.

"Maybe tens of thousands of years, maybe hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of years, maybe even longer."

Shao Xuan's words made Muca, Duo Kang and others take a deep breath. No matter how much they think about it, they won't think about it.

10,000 years is enough for them, and even many tribes who have left handwriting only started at that time, but "hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even longer"? This shocked them.

If someone else said this, Muca and Duokang would definitely think this person was nonsense, but it was Shao Xuan who said this!

Among the many speculations, did Shao Xuan say he missed it?

"That's how long?" Duo Kang's voice trembled at the end of his words.

Did these things actually exist longer than the ancestors?

"These... are all dead, right?" Woodcut pointed to the various beasts frozen by ice on the ground and said.

"Isn't this nonsense? After being frozen for so long, can you still live?" Duo Kang glanced at him and plucked an ice cube that had melted to the point where the animal hair was exposed, and let people light a torch to speed up the melting of the ice.

As the ice melted, the strange, hairy creature that was frozen inside, not much bigger than the palm of an adult warrior, completely appeared in front of everyone. Without the interference of ice, they could see this strange creature. clearer.

"Have these really existed for a long time? It doesn't look like much has changed." Dokang sighed.

"Dead." Guang Guang affirmed.

"I was injured and was directly pierced by a sharp weapon." Dokang looked at the strange creature and said.

They brought over the worms and beasts that had been bitten by the fish in the sea before, and after burning the remaining ice with fire, they found that several of them had similar wounds on their bodies. Bugs with carapaces pierce directly from the neck, similar to fish and shrimp, but also pierce directly, with similar wounds.

Dokang cut open the small beast that first melted and found that there was still some undigested food in its stomach, which Yu You said should be some kind of grass.

"What exactly killed them?" Dokang asked.

"Who knows, anyway, they must have been killed by the beasts that ate them. But now is not the time to think about it." Woodcut said, and asked the people of the Changzhou tribe to put the ice cubes together and fished out some that were not frozen. Bring up the ice floe that holds anything else, keep it cool.

The meat is kept in the cold cave and will last longer. These unknown insects and beasts may come from ancient times, and they need to be in the ice to continue like this, just as they have been preserved by the ice until now.

Dokang did the same. He also wanted to bring some back as a souvenir, so he instructed people to continue fishing.

Shao Xuan looked at the ice cubes of Yanjiao and Changzhou tribe, and then looked into the sea.

There is also a lot of ice, some with things sealed inside, some without, and some with something similar to what they scooped up.

Looking at the ice floes, Shao Xuan suddenly pointed to one of them, and said to the person who was fishing for ice next to him, "Bring that up."

"Elder, which one are you talking about?" The people who caught the ice didn't know which one Shao Xuan was talking about.

"I'll do it." Shao Xuan did it himself, took the net, and scooped the piece of ice he wanted onto the boat.

"What is this?" Dokang asked, looking at the vague mass of dirt in the ice.

They fish for ice cubes, because the weight the boat can carry is limited, and it is impossible to fish all the ice, but only selectively.

First pick up those ice cubes that you can roughly see what they are, don’t take the hard work to bring them back to melt, and then find that it is a lump of soil, then it will not be worth it. Therefore, the piece of ice that Shao Xuan pointed to has been ignored. Repeated types are not caught, and there is one, so why do you need so much? Anyway, it's just a whim, I'm more curious, and I take it back as a souvenir.

"I don't know what it is." Shao Xuan looked at the ice cube in front of him, and after a few more glances, he handed it to the person in charge of storage, "Put it back with the ice."

Since it was something that Shao Xuan picked up, the people who kept it didn't dare to be careless. Even if it was really a mess, they would take it seriously and cautiously. (To be continued.)
