Although he had many doubts, Jia Chao wisely did not ask any questions.
Judging from the speed at which Feifei, Maomao and the others left, rashly offending Yanlong would not end well.
So he took a few steps back honestly, and then looked at the green lantern respectfully.
He didn't ask, and Yan Long didn't say anything. For a moment, the air suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the breeze passing through the bamboo forest.
After a long time, Yan Long's high-pitched voice sounded in Jia Chao's mind again:
"Green?"
Jia Chao: "???"
God is so green!
What does it mean? Why did you ask about this in the first place?
Who is green? I don’t have a female companion yet!
He scratched his head and suddenly remembered that Yanlong might be asking about his level of Beast Whisperer.
"Returning to my ancestors, I am now a green-level beast whisperer!"
The tone was still respectful, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The big lantern flashed, and its green light made the whole night sky look weird.
"Not bad!" Yanlong's evaluation was very brief, which made Jia Chao go crazy.
What on earth do you want to do with me? It’s better to say it quickly!
At this time, a strong wind blew by, and Jia Chao's eyes suddenly went dark.
He looked around and couldn't see his fingers!
The two green lanterns above the courtyard door disappeared, and the suffocating pressure just now was no longer felt.
Jia Chao waited for a while, and when the surroundings were still quiet, he carefully shouted:
"Ancestor Yanlong, Ancestor Yanlong, are you still there?"
There was silence and no response!
After a long time, Xingyue shouted to Jia Chao from the kitchen:
"Achao, Boss Yanlong must have left! Come in quickly, maybe the charcoal fire in the stove can still be ignited!"
So Jia Chao had no choice but to switch to his rabbit-man form, reach to the brazier in the middle of the pavilion, and energize an iron rod to light the fire.
When the brazier was lit, the world took shape again. Jia Chao lit several braziers next to each other, making the yard a little brighter.
Xingyue saw light in the yard from the kitchen and walked out.
"Achao, where did you get the fire?"
Jia Chao shook the thin iron rod in his hand, heated it up in front of Xingyue until it turned red, and then took out a handful of flammable hay from a clay pot next to the brazier.
"That's it!" Jia Chao handed the ignited hay to Xingyue.
Xingyue looked at the flame, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Jia Chao felt a little panicked when he saw Xingyue looking like this.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Xingyue raised her eyes and looked at Jia Chao, with a small flame wrapped in tears in her eyes.
"Achao, do you remember? This is how you brought the fire from Baimu Grassland to me back then!"
Jia Chao: "???"
I? No, the original owner?
Was the fire of the Yanshi Tribe brought back from Baimu Grassland by its original owner, Ah Chao?
He patted his head and found that there was no such memory.
Is the memory of the original owner lost?
No wonder I couldn’t remember which brave tribesman brought back the fire, no matter how much I thought about it!
He threw the burning hay in his hand into the brazier, patted Xingyue's head gently, and said:
"Of course I remember! Just because of me, you little fool kept guarding the bonfire for so many years. It must have been hard!"
Xingyue shook her head and said:
"It's not hard work! If it weren't for the fire you brought back, I might have starved to death by now! Being a fire boy is great! I can get a bone every day!"
Jia Chao: "..."
This child’s life must be too rough!
He took back the hand on Xingyue's head and dug into the animal skin bag on his waist.
"By the way, Xingyue! Do you remember that I owe you a rune stone?"
He opened his palm, and in his palm was a rune stone with unknown properties.
This rune stone was given to him by the strange and beautiful woman Honggu he met near the Sword Tiger tribe, and it cost him twenty crossbow arrows.
Xingyue looked at the rune stone, shook her head and said:
"You don't owe me anything. The rune stone Dalang stole was originally yours!"
Hearing this, Jia Chao couldn't help but take Xingyue's little hand, stuffed the rune stone into her and said:
"I said if I want to get you another piece, I will get one! You wake up now, I will guard you!"
Xingyue held the rune stone, feeling the warm residual warmth coming from the rune stone, and nodded shyly.
After a while, Xingyue sat on a stone bench in the pavilion.
She looked at Jia Chao nervously, and Jia Chao also looked at her nervously.
The two looked at each other awkwardly. After a long time, Xingyue said: "Please tell me how to awaken!"
Jia Chao: "Huh?"
How to wake up? How do I know how to awaken?
I came here in a daze myself!
He looked at the rune stone in Xingyue's hand, then looked around the yard, and his spiritual mind quietly turned on the Bluetooth mode.
"Dalang, where have you been? Come out and tell me how to guide Xingyue to awaken!"
A voice sounded faintly in his mind: "Ask her to put her hand on the rune stone, close her eyes and feel the elemental spirit in the rune stone. If the soul attributes match, the elemental spirit will enter her body."
Jia Chao immediately repeated Dalang's words according to the script. Xingyue nodded and then closed his eyes.
But her awakening process didn't seem to go smoothly.
In addition to showing a happy look at the beginning, he was basically in a very painful state later on.
“If you feel something trying to get into your body, don’t fight it, let it in!”
After saying this, Jia Chao was stunned. Why did this sound a bit inappropriate?
Fortunately, Xingyue seemed to understand what he said, and her expression gradually became soothing.
Just as Jia Chao was waiting for her to continue to relax, Xingyue suddenly clenched her hands tightly, as if she was grabbing something and pulling her back.
The next moment, a light red halo appeared on Xingyue's body.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of excitement.
"Achao, I'm awake!" She grabbed Jia Chao's hands in excitement.
Jia Chao endured the pain and nodded, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up! From tomorrow on, you will go hunting with Hongya and the others, and strive to reach the green level as soon as possible!"
Xingyue: "Okay!"
That night, Xingyue was so excited that she couldn't sleep because she had awakened the power of the elements.
However, Jia Chao fell asleep very quickly, and cooking for a group of spiritual beasts with endless appetites was also a physical job.
The strangest thing was that the moment Xingyue woke up, he felt that he was suddenly extremely tired.
So the moment he touched the grass nest, he fell asleep directly.
When Jia Chao woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
He stood up, shook his head, walked out of the room and looked at the sky doubtfully.
Although there was no clock around him, he was sure it wasn't morning.
After rummaging around in the kitchen, there was half a steamed fish in the pot, a method Xingyue had only recently learned.
Jia Chao ate the fish and walked around the courtyard again.
No people and no rabbits.
So he went to the front mountain, and met a toad on the road who told him that Da Lang had gone hunting with Xingyue.
Not long after, Jia Chao arrived at Qianshan.
At this time, Qianshan had changed a lot, and several relatively flat areas had been sorted out and brick houses built one after another.
The style of the house is very similar to the houses in the countryside in the 1970s and 1980s. All the houses have no windows or doors, only a few holes are reserved.
These houses are all built according to the models made by Jia Chaorang Maomao. They do not have any furniture, but there are kangs that can sleep seven or eight people.
There are three more buildings on the platform that was originally the gathering place.
One is a pottery workshop, one is a leather-making workshop, and one is a food processing workshop and canteen.
Jia Chao planned to make pottery and leather making the tribe's pillar industries, so these two workshops were built in the front mountain.
These buildings suddenly appeared among the mountains and forests, making Jia Chao feel like he was in a hidden mountain village.
Seeing Jia Chao's arrival, the tribesmen informed Nashi.
The old magic stick came up and without saying a word, he pulled Jia Chao and asked, "How long has it been since you went out hunting?"
Jia Chao scratched his head and thought for a moment. The last time he went hunting seriously was with Dalang at the Sword Tiger Tribe.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong! How can there be such a lazy beast whisperer like you?"
"Why am I lazy? There are so many things going on in the tribe!"
"What's going on? Just these messy stone boxes? What are you doing?"
Nian Shi had a look of hatred on his face. In his eyes, Jia Chao was not doing his job properly.
For an old man who has lived in a cave for decades, houses are of no practical use.
So he always hoped that Jia Chao would take the hunting team out for hunting. Only by hunting more wild beasts could he improve as quickly as possible.
But Jia Chao stayed in the back mountain all day long, not giving Nushi a chance to educate him.
Just when Nushi wanted to say something more, Jia Chao ran directly down the mountain.
"I know! I know! I'm going hunting right now!"
Although there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. But if this old man starts nagging, it will be really unbearable!
Nushi is now no different from those parents who force their children to study hard and get married early!
If there's a difference, it's that he doesn't say 'this is for your own good'.
So Jia Chao couldn't wait to say a word and fled as fast as he could.
He quickly checked all the places on the mountain road where fortifications were to be built, and sure enough, the tribesmen did not find any good solutions.
Therefore, there are only some bricks and other materials piled randomly in these places, and some construction traces can be seen from the site.
While he was worrying about the fortifications, a burst of laughter like silver bells came from the bottom of the mountain.
He looked up and found that Xingyue had returned with the hunting team. Judging from that battle, the harvest should be pretty good.
A familiar figure walked side by side with Xingyue. Although it was too far to see clearly, the saber-toothed tiger following at the end of the team let Jia Chao know the identity of the person coming.
Who else could it be if she wasn't Xia Yun?
Soon they arrived, and Xia Yun greeted Jia Chao casually.
"Chief Achao, what are you doing sitting here?"
Jia Chao stood up and walked side by side with them, "Why are you here?"
Xia Yun pouted, "You're not welcome?"
Jia Chao said awkwardly: "Welcome! Welcome! How can you not welcome! But you came all the way here, there must be something wrong, right?"
Xia Yun rolled his eyes at Jia Chao, "Then I can't come if I have nothing to do?"
"Yes! Of course I can!" Jia Chao was speechless.
Xia Yun grinned and said, "It's no big deal! I just want to bring you some news!"
Jia Chao: "What's the news?"
Xia Yun: "My father said that a group of rune hunters came to Baimu Grassland, so all tribes should be careful!"
Jia Chao said "Oh". It turned out to be such a news. He had already known it from the intelligence team.
Seeing Jia Chao's calm look, Xia Yun said displeased:
"I'm telling you, don't take this seriously! Several tribes have been exterminated!"
"Clan genocide? Why was the genocide exterminated?" Hong Ya, who was following behind, suddenly interrupted.
Jia Chao glanced behind him. Not only Hongya, but almost all the people in the hunting team pricked up their ears.
At this time Xia Yun said:
"It is said that this group of rune hunters will not only attack the spirit whisperers and elemental warriors, but also kill all the ordinary people in the tribe!"
Jia Chao nodded. What Xia Yun said was consistent with the news brought back by the intelligence team, and it was indeed true.
He turned to look at Xia Yun and asked:
"Hasn't this happened a long time ago? Why are you notifying us now?"
