Dark clouds are coming over the top.
The wind gradually picked up, blowing the trees in the jungle and making a whining sound, which really confused people's mood.
The Fenggun tribe has not seen the brilliance of the sun for many days.
The wooden frames that were once scattered everywhere in the tribe have become empty.
Female tribesmen in twos and threes were using tools made of stone to dig ditches in front of the thatched houses.
In the outer area of the tribe's thatched house, all the male tribesmen gathered here at this moment. Like the female tribesmen, they used the tools in their hands to dig out trenches, and used the extra soil to pile up a line of soil not far from the trench. wall.
Everyone knows that the rainy season is coming. Having lived here for a long time, they naturally have a way to deal with the heavy rain that will come on time every time.
The blessing of the divine fire only isolated dangers like beasts, but it never stopped the power of nature.
Therefore, every time before the rainy season of Yisi comes, the tribesmen will put down what they are doing and start digging trenches on the ground to drain the collected rainwater through the trenches to prevent the water from flooding the place where they live. .
However, this time, it was different from before.
Feng Xi's intervention made the ditch used to drain water deeper and larger. He also asked the tribesmen to use the excavated soil to build an earth wall not far from the ditch to surround the tribe's living area.
Not only that, the place where the leaked rainwater was originally stored, the pool used by the tribe to store water for the next sacrifice, was also filled with soil by Feng Xi.
Although the tribesmen did not understand Feng Xi's intention of doing this, due to his sacred status as a messenger of the gods and his ability to lead the tribe in the right direction time and time again, no one would question his decision.
"Xi, is this useful?"
Hua Xu stood next to Feng Xi, looking at the busy tribesmen in front of her, and couldn't help but ask. There was an indelible look of worry on her face.
Naturally, Feng Xi would not hide the crisis that the tribe was about to face from Hua Xu. The tribesmen would panic if they knew about it. However, as the only backbone of the tribe, Feng Gun’s leader, Hua Xu, who is also a witch, must know in advance in order to be safe. When Feng Xi couldn't get out, he responded promptly.
Hearing this, Feng Xi nodded, then shook his head.
Under Hua Xu's puzzled gaze, Feng Xi pointed at the earthen wall that was gradually taking shape and spoke slowly,
"When the rainy season comes, that wall will become the first barrier to stop the water. At the same time, it will also remind us that the flood is coming!"
"Amu, at that time, I will go out and find that strange beast!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at his own Eminem, his eyes becoming serious.
"Once the wall is washed away and the water enters the ditch, Amu, take your people and go to the mountain!"
When Hua Xu heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. She looked a little uneasy and looked at Feng Xi blankly.
"You're going to find it alone?"
"The tribe is not..."
This is not the first time. The last time the beast wave was caused by the war, Feng Xi also asked her to stay in the tribe to appease the tribe, but he left the tribe alone and risked his life.
"The blessing of Xinhuo will prevent that strange beast from coming in, but it can't stop the flood!" Feng Xi shook his head and interrupted Hua Xu's words.
"Amu, if my prediction is correct, this strange beast has the power to control the water. Even if it is stopped by the power of the fire, it will still stir up the water and drown the tribe!"
Flood is a powerful force of nature. Even if it is caused by the mysterious ability of alien beasts, a half-performed legal domain like Xinhuo will not stop it.
To solve the threat of floods to the tribe, Feng Xi must first solve the culprit that caused the floods.
"Xi, I'll come with you!"
Hua Xu's expression changed and he looked at Feng Xi firmly.
"I'm a witch too!"
She said, paused, seemed to have thought of something, and then added,
"I have mastered the power of witches!"
When Feng Xi heard this, he shook his head and smiled. He stared into Hua Xu's firm eyes and said,
"Amu, the tribe needs you!"
"I am the first barrier to protect the tribe, and you are the second!"
"Once I can't stop that strange beast, then the people of the tribe will need to rely on you!"
"But..." Hua Xu opened her mouth. She wanted to refute. If even Feng Xi couldn't stop the strange beast, then how could she have that ability?
It's just that the words are on my lips, but I can't say them out.
Feng Xi is her child, and she doesn't want to see her child face danger alone again.
But the people of the tribe also need her as their leader and this witch!
For the first time, Hua Xu felt that his emotions were in conflict with his responsibility to protect the tribe.
"Although I may not be able to defeat that strange beast, it is not easy for it to stop me."
"Amu, I will take Fu Dou with me!" Knowing that Hua Xu still didn't trust him after all, Feng Xi comforted him.
I saw him taking an animal skin from his body and putting it in her hands.
Hua Xu took it at a loss, and when he saw the flame mark carved on the animal skin, his eyes were immediately attracted.
She clearly sensed that the animal skin in her hand contained amazing power, a power that could easily kill her.
As long as you use the power of witch, you can easily release the power contained in it.
"This is..." She raised her head and looked at Feng Xi.
"When the water covers the ditch, Amu will release the power in the animal hide."
"It will turn into a third barrier to block the flood!" Feng Xi explained.
The animal skin is condensed with the power of the fire that Feng Xi prayed for. When the power contained in it is released, it will turn into a sea of fire, buying time for the tribesmen to leave.
"Amu, when you get to the mountain, go to the cave where the firewood is enshrined. I left something there." Feng Xi continued to instruct, and his voice began to become heavier.
"Once the protection of the fire is gone and a strange beast rushes into the tribe, you can use that thing to merge with the fire and kill it!"
"Amu, you are a witch who has achieved the will of Xinhuo. There is no one more suitable than you!"
"You mean?" Hua Xu's expression changed drastically and he looked at Feng Xi in disbelief.
How could the fire curtain that protected the tribe disappear?
Feng Xi shook his head and said nothing.
He was also not sure whether the protection of Xinhuo would disappear if he failed. This was just an uneasy guess deep in his heart.
At this time, it was different from the past. Xinhuo's spirituality had disappeared and turned into his original shamanic form.
Can the fire that has lost its spirituality really be stopped when faced with a powerful alien beast that may have a god behind it?
Feng Xi's silence did not dispel the uneasiness in Hua Xu's heart, but made her even more frightened.
The fire that has always protected the tribe, and is regarded by the tribesmen as a fire curtain protected by gods, once disappears.
That……
Hua Xu couldn't imagine that that day would really come and be so close.
"Crack!"
Raindrops fell on the ground, and the sound interrupted the two people's contemplation.
They raised their heads and looked at the sky shrouded in dark clouds, and the pattering rain finally began to fall.
"The rainy season is coming!"
