Snake tribe.
The Xian tribesmen are very busy at the moment.
Not far from the mountain wall, strange huts piled up with dead branches and weeds were being torn down one by one.
It is better to say that it is a hut than a nest of birds and beasts that has fallen on the ground. The space inside is so small and pitiful that it can only accommodate an adult tribesman. Even if it is exposed to a little wind and rain, it can easily Destroy them and expose them to the elements.
This is where they once lived.
The cave they depended on for survival was invaded by giant snakes, so they "rebuilt" their sleeping place according to the story left by an ancestor who came back from the outside not long ago.
Room.
It's just that they have been living in the cave, and they don't really have the appearance of the legendary "house". They can only follow the story and learn how birds and animals build their nests, using weeds and dead branches to build this simple nest.
From time to time, after a storm, you have to start over.
The only good thing is that because of the existence of the giant snake, there are no insects and beasts around. There is no need to worry about being picked up by wild beasts at night, and we can spend hundreds of sunrises and sunsets safely.
Now, with the giant snake occupying the cave being killed by Feng Xi, they can return to the cave and no longer need to huddle in these "houses" that are like bird and animal nests.
They knocked down the original "house", mixed it with dirt, and built a wall not far from the cave.
Walls, as I heard from Xian, can help the tribesmen resist wild beasts.
The people of the tribe had no doubt about this, because Xian told them that this was what he was taught by "Da Xi", who was like a god in their minds.
"Xian, they haven't come back yet..."
A female tribesman poured the soil in her hand onto a dead branch, raised her head, and looked outside.
"The tribe doesn't have much food anymore, so Xian leads the tribe to hunt beasts!"
Beside her, a limping male tribesman said, his eyes shining with desire.
He really wanted to go with Xian and the others, but now he couldn't even walk steadily, so how could he hunt beasts?
"Can beasts really be hunted?" Upon hearing this, the female clansman's face was full of worry.
"The tribe hasn't gone out to hunt beasts for a long time!"
Since the giant snake ate all the hunting tribesmen, no one knows how to hunt.
They have always relied on wild fruits and weeds in the jungle to satisfy their hunger.
The meat of the giant snake was the only animal meat they had eaten during these hundreds of sunrises and sunsets.
But now, the giant snake has only a skeleton left.
They knew that if Xian didn't make it back, they would go back to starving.
The conversation between the two people was just a part of the tribe. At this moment, all the tribesmen were eagerly awaiting their return.
While they were busy building a wall to block the invasion of beasts, they were hoping in their hearts that Xian could really succeed!
"Xian is back!"
Not far away, a shout of surprise suddenly sounded.
After hearing this, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, stood on tiptoes, and looked up.
I saw a few figures walking not far away. They supported each other and limped over.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes suddenly dimmed again. They lowered their heads and continued to build the earth wall. The memories of the past have not been washed away by the passage of time.
They recalled that a long time ago, the tribe was often like this. Only a few tribesmen who went out finally came back.
This also means that their hunting failed!
"beast!"
"It's a beast!"
"They have hunted a beast!"
At this moment, another surprising and exciting voice reached their ears.
Their eyes lit up again, and they looked up again cautiously.
Not far behind the tribesmen who were supporting each other, Xian and several other people were seen carrying a beast and walking over with their heads held high.
"beast!"
"It's really a beast!"
After seeing clearly what Xian and the others were carrying, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and their faces showed excitement. Almost without thinking, they immediately put down what they were carrying and rushed towards Xian.
"boom!"
Looking at the tribesmen approaching, a group of people stopped and put the beast on the ground.
"Tribesmen, we have hunted a beast!" Xian shouted in an excited voice,
"Tribe, there is meat to eat again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of excited shouts from the crowd.
At the same time, in front of the cave, Feng Xi's figure appeared here at some unknown time.
He stood silently at the entrance of the cave, no one noticed him.
Looking at the joyful scene in front of him, Feng Xi couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
…
night.
When all the tribesmen fell asleep contentedly, Xian quietly walked out of the cave without disturbing anyone.
He came to the open space in front of the cave and walked towards the giant snake skeleton placed there.
"Da Xi!" Xian walked gently to Feng Xi and called out in a low voice.
At this moment, Feng Xi was touching the slender snake bones with his hands.
"Xian, you're not asleep yet?" Feng Xi made a caressing move, turned his head, looked at Xian and asked.
"I can't sleep!"
Xian shook his head and answered honestly,
"The tribe hunted beasts today, but I'm not happy!"
"It's just an ordinary beast that makes it so difficult for the tribe. Everyone comes back with serious injuries!"
"The tribe needs food. Even if they and I go out every day, we can't fill everyone's stomachs!"
Xian's tone was a little low. He was immersed in joy during the day and never thought about these things. But when night came and he calmed down, he realized that even if they went hunting every day, they couldn't fill everyone's stomach.
What's more, if one day they don't hunt any beasts, the tribesmen will starve again.
Thinking that he had said that he would feed all the tribesmen just like Feng Xi's tribe, a look of shame flashed across Xian's face.
"Your green snake is about to transform into a strange beast. With its help, you can hunt the beast easily!" Feng Xi said lightly.
Xian shook his head when he heard this, "I won't let him hunt beasts for my tribe!"
"It should be in the tribe, protecting the tribe, just like the guardian beast of the Daxi tribe. We need to go out and find food for the tribe ourselves!"
He raised his head, his eyes shining with longing.
Feng Xi once told him something about the Feng Gun tribe, like telling a story, telling him how he led the people of the tribe.
Among them, naturally includes the strange beast that protects the tribe.
Xian heard it in his ears, but secretly remembered it in his heart.
He wants the Snake Tribe to become like the Daxi Tribe!
He learned the "story" told by Feng Xi and asked the green snake to guard the tribe, while he and some hunting tribesmen went out to find food for the tribe.
Feng Xi's eyes flashed slightly after hearing Xian's words.
Xian's ability to say such things was not beyond his expectation, and it was also the result of his secret guidance.
Feng Xi originally hesitated in his heart, whether he would have to wait for a while to see how Xian changed the tribe and how he would lead his people.
However, it now seems that the time has come.
After Feng Xi thought for a moment, he suddenly said,
"Xian, do you know where my power comes from?"
