"It's so fake!"
Jia Chao, who climbed up from the pool, gasped for air on the shore and turned to look behind the waterfall.
So what is the mysterious existence in the cave?
Why does the dragon roar?
Is Yanlong really a dragon?
Why can I understand what that voice means?
Before he could figure out what was going on, the sight in front of him surprised him again.
I saw a strange substance in the air above the pool, like some kind of gas.
This material gathered from all directions and headed towards Yanlong's cave.
Jia Chao blinked, trying to see the scene in front of him more clearly, but found that the surrounding scene returned to its normal appearance.
At this time, two more dragon-like roars came:
"Stay away from my cave! If you come again, you will die!"
After hearing this, Jia Chao turned around and bowed respectfully in the direction of the cave twice, and apologized loudly.
He didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had to go back to Zhuyuan alone in anger.
It didn't take long for Huo Wa to come back and bring back a strange bone.
"Uncle Yanlong gave it to me." Huo Wa handed the bone to Jia Chao.
Jia Chao took the bone and looked at it carefully.
The bone was only the size of a walnut, and looked like it had been removed from the backbone of some creature.
There are some weird patterns on the surface of the bone, like green blood vessels. The green material inside seems to be alive, and the whole bone glows with a faint green light.
Jia Chao played with the bone for a while and found that he had no idea what it was used for, so he asked Huo Wa:
"Can you understand what Uncle Yanlong said?"
Huowa shook his head.
Jia Chao: "Is there anything else besides this?"
Huo Wa shook his head again.
Jia Chao sighed silently when he saw this. It seemed that sooner or later he would have to go find Nushi and ask, otherwise it would be too difficult to fumble around without a clue like this.
What exactly is the ability of the Beast Whisperer?
Is it possible to understand the language of beasts? Then this ability is too useless, right?
Relying on this ability to achieve a counterattack in life is not as good as smelting iron and making pottery!
It seems that we should follow the original plan and let Huo Wa collect more iron sand and then make some iron weapons.
It is best to make weapons such as crossbows, so that you can make up for the weakness in strength and regain the tribe.
As long as you have people under your command, even if you become a village chief, you can have enough food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Jia Chao simply put the bones in his straw nest, and then began to think about making crossbow arrows.
…
Early the next morning, in the forest of the dead on the top of the mountain.
An old man had patterns painted on his face with red blood, and in front of him knelt a thin young man.
The blood on the old man's face belonged to the young man, and his body was covered with fresh wounds.
Chief Big Bear and others stood behind them in a fan shape, each of them looking serious.
The old man stabbed the young man's arm with a dagger made of bone, and dark red blood slowly oozed from the wound.
The old man dipped his right index finger into some blood, then turned around and drew something on Chief Big Bear's face.
Soon Chief Big Bear's face was also covered with patterns, and he knelt down towards the north of the forest under the guidance of the old man.
"Big Bear, the new chief of the Flame Stone Tribe, is willing to dedicate himself as a slave! Please give me the favor of the guardian beast!"
The old man shouted loudly towards the north of the forest, while Chief Big Bear lay directly on the ground.
The thin young man saw this and began to cry loudly and pray to everyone around him.
However, everyone ignored him and just stared at the north with indifferent expressions.
The young man was completely desperate when he saw this. He ignored the wounds all over his body and got up and ran towards the north of the forest.
He didn't know what was to the north of the forest, but the members of the Flame Stone Tribe blocked several other directions, so he could only run north.
When they saw him escaping, everyone in the Yanshi Tribe didn't chase him, they just stood there and watched.
"Priest Stubborn Stone, do you think Ancestor Yanlong will accept this sacrifice?"
Chief Big Bear stood up and looked in the direction where the young man escaped. While patting the grass blades on his body with both hands, he asked the old man.
Stubborn stone slowly raised his head to look at Chief Big Bear, pointed at a huge dead tree in front of him and said:
"Anyone who crosses that tree will die! Ancestor Yanlong will accept your sacrifice, but he may not be a favor!"
Chief Big Bear became nervous when he heard this, "What should we do?"
Stubborn stone said slowly: "If you insist on going into the mountains to find the fire baby, just go and capture a few stronger slaves and come back!"
Chief Big Bear looked embarrassed after hearing this. The Yanshi Tribe was now in decline. There were less than seventy people in the entire tribe.
There are only twenty-three people in the hunting team, and slaves cannot be caught casually.
The unlucky young man was a wanderer, and at first glance he looked like he was on the run after his tribe was destroyed by others.
If you dare to go outside to catch people from those big tribes, the Yanshi Tribe will probably be wiped out by others sooner or later.
Nushi looked sideways at Chief Big Bear, with a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
He had watched Huo Baby grow up, and he didn't want to help Chief Big Bear catch her.
It's just that he is a little strange, why does Chief Big Bear have to go all out to find Huowa?
Could it be...
A bad premonition suddenly came to mind. Nushi looked at the tribesmen around him again, and murmured in his heart.
At this moment, a scream came from the woods to the north.
Hearing the scream, Chief Big Bear finally had a happy face.
Not long after, there was a strange rumbling sound in the forest, and a moment later a huge rock python appeared in everyone's sight.
No one in the Yanshi Tribe had ever seen this scene before, and everyone was silent. Even Chief Big Bear was so frightened that his legs were filled with lead and could not move.
The only person still able to move at the scene was Stubborn Stone. As the priest of the tribe, he knew much more about the back mountain than everyone else present.
I saw him kneeling respectfully towards the rock python in front of him, muttering something in a low voice.
Seeing him kneeling down, Chief Big Bear immediately kneeled down with everyone, and several timid ones even buried their heads on the ground without daring to look.
The rock python came to the dead tree that the stubborn stone pointed to before in an instant. After arriving here, it stopped moving forward for half a minute.
Seeing the giant rock python stop, Nushi stood up and took a few steps forward, explaining his purpose.
After listening to Nushi's words, the rock python glanced at Chief Big Bear, then opened its mouth and spit out a rock thorn in the direction of Chief Big Bear.
The thigh-thick rock thorn was inserted half a meter in front of Chief Big Bear, which frightened Chief Big Bear out of his wits. He immediately lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
Nushi turned his head and saw this scene. He knew that Chief Big Bear’s request had been rejected, so he said to Chief Big Bear:
"Take out the tribal sacred objects, otherwise the ancestor's envoy will not agree to your request!"
Chief Big Bear then said tremblingly: "The rune stone was stolen by Huo Wa, and Huo Wa is now in the back mountain!"
Nushi looked at the Big Bear Chief with his head lowered, with an expression on his face that was indeed true.
He took a few steps forward and whispered a few words to the rock python, but the python actually lowered its head.
So Nushi turned around and said to Chief Big Bear: "You take the people back first, and I will go there for you."
Chief Big Bear was naturally unwilling to hear this. He thought what if a bad old man like you went and didn't do anything?
But when he saw the ferocious rock python, he was no longer so reluctant.
"Priest of the Stone, you are the elder of our tribe, you must find the rune stone!"
Stubborn stone nodded with a relaxed expression and prepared to follow the rock python to the north of the forest.
"Priest Ninshi, wait a moment!" Chief Big Bear stopped Ninshi again.
Stubborn stone turned to look at Chief Big Bear suspiciously, "What else can you do?"
Chief Big Bear pointed to the rock thorn in front of him and asked, "What does this mean?"
Nushi narrowed his eyes and looked at the rock thorn, then at Chief Big Bear, and then said: "You really want to know?"
Chief Big Bear nodded.
Stubborn stone shook his head helplessly, then spat at Chief Big Bear's feet.
Chief Big Bear was stunned when he saw this. He stared at the stubborn stone with suppressed anger in his heart, thinking: Even if you are a priest, you can't look down on me like this!
At this time, Nushi pointed to the spit on the ground and said, "That's what it means!"
After saying this, Nushi turned around and walked towards the north of the forest.
Only then did Chief Big Bear realize that he had been spat on by the rock python, and the anger in his chest immediately disappeared.
What's the use of getting angry in this situation?
You can't even do anything about the small animals in the forest halfway up the mountain, and why are you here to fight with that big stone python?
After thinking about this, Chief Big Bear led the hunting team down the mountain.
Seeing Chief Big Bear and the others disappear from sight, both the stubborn rock and the rock python stopped.
The next moment, the rock python collapsed, and a half-meter-long centipede appeared in front of the stubborn rock.
Nushi nodded cheerfully to the centipede, took out a fist-sized insect of unknown species from the animal skin bag on his waist and threw it to the centipede.
The centipede ate the bug and summoned a rock crocodile on the spot.
The centipede coiled on the crocodile's head, and the stubborn stone sat on the crocodile's back.
In this way, their speed increased a lot.
In fact, there is a road between the front mountain and the back mountain of this mountain, but you need to pass through the Forest of the Dead at the top of the mountain.
To the south of the Forest of the Dead is a birch forest, to the north is a pine forest, and in the middle is the huge dead tree.
Generally speaking, members of the Yanshi tribe are not allowed to enter the back mountain. They can only go to the north of the mountain along the dense forest on the mountainside.
However, except for the people in the hunting team, most people really don't dare to enter the forest because it is too dangerous inside.
But the road that Nashi and the others took was different, it was flat and wide, and in a moment they arrived outside the bamboo courtyard where Jia Chao lived.
Hearing the noise outside, Jia Chao immediately came outside the bamboo courtyard and spotted the stubborn stone and the rock crocodile at a glance.
As for the giant centipede coiled on the crocodile's head, he didn't notice it at all.
"Uncle Nashi, why are you here?" Jia Chao stepped forward and greeted Nushi warmly.
Nushi looked surprised when he saw him, and immediately his eyes fell on his chest.
"Young Chief, you have awakened as an animal whisperer!"
He came to Jia Chao and poked Jia Chao's chest with fingers like dry branches, his face full of joy.
Jia Chao looked at the position of Nushi's finger and discovered that there was a pink mark the size of a quail egg, which was shaped like a coiled snake.
Jia Chao nodded to the stubborn stone and said:
"Huoba helped me steal the rune stone from Chief Big Bear."
Stubborn stone nodded desperately when he heard this.
"It turns out this is really the case! Great! The Flame Stone Tribe finally has an animal whisperer again! There is hope for the tribe's rise!"
At this time, Jia Chao heard a whisper next to him:
"Such a small beast spirit seal, it's still rubbish when it awakens! It's a piece of shit to rise up!"
