"Bai Ze, burn the fire, don't raise your head, lower your body."

Yayu tried hard to control his emotions and keep a calm tone, but his trembling hands betrayed him.

Blue fire ignited on Bai Ze's body, and he slowly lay on the ground, the sense of crisis still lingering.

[Tenderer of Fire, open the door to the world! 】

A soft voice came from the stone monument in his mind, which slightly eased Bai Ze's nervousness.

The door to the world opened, and a vague figure walked out of it, slowly blending into him.

Strange memory scenes appear, and an unknown corpse floats in the sky at some point. All creatures who see the corpse will fall into madness inexplicably.

A few minutes later, Bai Ze felt that the danger was gone and breathed a long sigh of relief. Ya Yushi from a distance quickly ran over to check whether there were any traces of pollution erosion on Bai Ze's body.

"The patriarch has said, never look up at the sky, this is a taboo."

Yayu's voice was trembling. In the past, many members of the tribe ended up becoming strange beings due to subconscious actions.

The clan leader took care of it personally. Fortunately, Bai Ze didn't raise his head completely, otherwise...

"What's in the sky?"

"If you don't know, don't explore. All weird existences are fatal to us."

Yayu walked into a stone room, and Bai Ze saw a large number of stone weapons placed against the wall.

"People of the Bai clan are naturally weaker than normal humans. It is recommended to choose a small stone shield."

Bai Ze went in and looked around. All the stone weapons had dense cracks on them, and they seemed to break if touched.

"No iron weapons?"

"We are a small tribe. We cannot compare with those big tribes. These are leftovers from the previous hunting teams."

"Besides you, how many people are there in the hunting team?"

"No, they are all dead. The strange celestial phenomenon of winter came too suddenly. No one who went hunting in the back mountains came back."

After Yayu finished speaking, there was anger in his eyes, but more of despair.

Bai Ze picked up a black stone spear, with a few tadpole patterns vaguely visible on it.

"This... forget it, maybe you can use it."

Yayu was a little hesitant, thinking that Bai Ze was a fire bearer. This weapon would be restrained by the fire bearer's fire, so there should be no accidents.

"It seems to trigger one of the benefits for time travellers, and get the best weapons at the beginning."

Bai Ze wanted to ask for information about the black stone spear, and looked up to see the one-eyed old man talking to Yayu in the distance.

Yayu was very hesitant and seemed to be making some important decision.

"It's almost noon, don't go out, brat, just stay inside."

After the one-eyed old man finished speaking, he quickly ran to the nearest stone house with Yayu and closed the stone door.

Although Bai Ze didn't know what noon meant, he immediately closed the stone door, and strands of blue fire appeared on his body.

As time passed, a special smell appeared outside the door. Bai Ze's body felt uncomfortable and he instinctively wanted to shrink into a corner.

"Grandma, what on earth is outside the door? What on earth is going on in this world?"

Bai Ze complained in his heart, checked the stone tablet in his mind, and found that there was a new mission.

[Mission: Survive noon

Mission reward: a piece of real historical information! 】

"Are you mistaken? There is still danger in broad daylight!"

Bai Ze found a shadow squeezing in from the crack of the door, and a strange aura instantly filled the entire stone house.

As time passed, sweat wetted the coat made of animal skin, and Bai Ze saw a trace of black tadpole patterns clinging to his ankles.

[Found firewood, is it burning? 】

A soft voice came from the stone tablet, and Bai Ze was stunned for a moment. Something seemed wrong.

【yes! 】

The door to the world opened automatically, and a bunch of orange fire flew out from it, covering Bai Ze's whole body.

"It's impossible, Fire Bearer. How can there be a new Fire Bearer in the human race? It's impossible."

Bai Ze saw a twisted shadow suddenly appear in front of him, which looked like a headless man.

The orange flame burned crazily like gasoline. The headless figure in front of him let out an unwilling scream, and finally turned into a pile of ashes.

[Task: Survive noon, completed.

Mission rewards have been distributed! 】

Bai Ze saw a new stone tablet appear in his consciousness, with lines of writing appearing on it.

[With the arrival of strange celestial phenomena, many taboos appear. The dead creatures are affected by the celestial phenomena and reappear in the world of mountains and seas with the help of traces left behind in the past.

Firebearers use themselves as firewood to resist the invasion of dead creatures.

Mountain and Sea Taboo: Do ​​not leave the shelter at noon. 】

After Bai Ze read it, he smiled bitterly. This world is even weirder and more terrifying than the world of mountains and seas in history.

About half an hour later, the one-eyed old man and Yayu pushed open the stone door. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Bai Ze was fine.

"You brat, it's almost time. Hurry up and go hunting in the back mountains."

The one-eyed old man said the last thing and motioned for Yayu to leave with Bai Ze, his eyes full of worry.

Bai Ze left the tribe, winter erosion appeared, and the fire in his body burned crazily.

When I saw the back mountain, I was a little dumbfounded. At a glance, they were all giant trees with a diameter of several meters. The tree crowns blocked the sky, and the woods looked dim.

Unknown plants emit shimmers of different colors, and a vast and strange aura rushes towards them.

"There are many more taboos similar to those at noon. Tell me quickly."

Bai Ze did not set foot in the back mountain, and asked solemnly that he did not want to die in an unknown situation. As for hunting, he was pretty good at hunting exotic beasts.

The one-eyed old man and Tu's behavior revealed problems, as if they were driving him away from the tribe.

"Bai Ze, if...I mean if, you can't return to the tribe safely today, you..."

Before Yayu finished speaking, Bai Ze noticed that the gray tadpole lines on his calves were spreading rapidly.

"Damn, after you finish talking, tell me what other daily taboos there are in the mountains and seas."

“You cannot leave the stone house except at noon, nor at midnight. You must find shelter and light a fire before dark.

When encountering strange things in the dark night, you can run away if you can. The fire bearer uses himself as firewood to pass on the fire.

You have taken on responsibilities that you should not have taken.

If you see fog of any color, run away immediately. It is a strange celestial fog and represents loss.

Find a place to take shelter before it rains. The fire in your body must not be extinguished by the rain.

To feel the wind, you need to ignite the fire in your body to fight. These are the experiences that countless human beings have gained with their lives. "

After Yayu finished speaking, he stepped into the forest and followed the previous hunting route.

Bai Ze kept all this in mind. The first level of Qi refining not only enhanced his physical fitness, but also made his memory very good.

"Then...how do you reach the foundation-building realm?"

After a long time, Bai Ze, who was following behind, asked about his doubts. The practice system in the world of mountains and seas seemed to be different from the traditional practice system in the online world.

"Get enough firewood to spread the firewood throughout your body."

Bai Ze feels that this method is not suitable for him. At present, he is lighting dead branches and leaves of buildings as firewood. The firewood has spread all over his body, but his state is still at the first level of Qi refining.

Yayu thought that Bai Ze was the fire bearer. The clan leader had said before that the fire bearer's practice was different from theirs.

[The fire bearer, who burns enough strange beings or beasts, can set foot in the foundation building realm.

Don’t forget the flame of the fire bearer, which can burn everything. 】

A soft voice sounded from the stone tablet, and Bai Ze reacted instantly. A strange existence was aroused at noon, and there were some changes in his body. Because the amplitude was too small, he was not aware of it at the time.

Now that I think about it, it seems that after burning mountain paste last night, I entered the first level of Qi refining. I was too tired to think about this issue.
