On the unnamed peaks in the great river basin of the prehistoric east, the weak and cheering human race surrounded the blazing bonfires and composed a picture of hope in the morning light.
However, a burst of sad and angry laughter destroyed the harmonious and beautiful atmosphere in front of him.
"Is something wrong with the high priest?" The old priest's words made Yan vaguely guess. He frowned thoughtfully and asked the somewhat crazy old man.
After hearing Yan's words, the old priest took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and anger in his heart, calmed down a little and said, "There is indeed something wrong with the high priest."
Nodding to confirm Yan's guess, the old priest had a trace of fear in his eyes, and spoke in a low voice: "I don't know exactly what went wrong with the high priest until now."
"I only know that the high priest was so diligent in his cultivation at that time that he suddenly broke out of seclusion while he was in retreat. At this time, something was wrong with him, and he was running around and screaming in the tribe as if he had lost his mind."
Having said this, the old priest licked his dry lips with lingering fear, then forced out a smile that was uglier than crying at Yan, and continued: "This is a disaster for the tribe."
"His voice shook the soul, and a large number of ordinary tribesmen died in his screams; he moved with great power, the earth was shaking, caves were collapsing, earth dragons were turning, and the tribes could not survive. It was destroyed beyond recognition in a very short period of time.”
"The people of the tribe wanted to wake up and stop the high priest, but in the face of him who was like a god and demon, they had no effect except losing their lives in vain."
"The powerful force that once protected the tribe became the main culprit in destroying the tribe at that time, haha..."
Listening to the old man's hollow and sad voice, Yan could already imagine the despair and confusion the tribe felt when it was hit by a sudden attack that was like a natural disaster.
It was also at this time that Yan suddenly understood in his heart why the human king would do such extraordinary things after the great rise of the human race.
Because ordinary humans are really as fragile as ants under the power of immortals and demons, and even the power naturally released by immortals and demons through their daily life and cultivation may be a disaster for ordinary people.
This is only the visible physical impact. If you think about it further and connect it with the magnetic field and radiation mentioned by later science, it is really scary to think about it.
After all, there will be a saying in later generations that the power of too high a level may not only be beneficial to the underlying materials, but may also cause damage and pollution.
Although it seems that there is no problem in this regard at present, Yan An secretly guessed that on the one hand, it may be that the human race has not been reproducing for a long time, and the Nuwa bloodline and hidden innate divinity in the body are still providing protection.
On the other hand, it is also possible that the current human race is not prosperous and the number of people is relatively small. The luck protection from Nuwa Empress has offset a lot of invisible pollution.
Even now, Yan thinks about the rules that separate humans and gods in heaven in later generations. I am afraid that there are many factors in this aspect. As for the legend that these rules were set because the Jade Emperor was afraid of gods and immortals, it is more like a joke.
When the Flame Heart God dispersed, the old priest did not stop. He continued to murmur in a low voice: "In the end, the remaining masters in the tribe saw that something was wrong, and they fought to the death to protect some of the tribesmen from escaping, and the tribe was able to continue. to date."
"What about the high priest? What happened to him?" After hearing what the old priest said, Yan was even more concerned about the whereabouts of the high priest who was suspected of being an immortal.
Upon hearing the question, the old man glanced at Yan, and then said, "High Priest! After the tribe escaped, some experts from the tribe went back to investigate."
"I heard that the high priest has been staying in that area. For some unknown reason, he seems unwilling or unable to leave that area too far."
Yan Wenyan frowned and confirmed with some confusion: "Can't you leave that area?"
"It should be so!" The old priest was a little unsure, "I hadn't awakened my bloodline at that time. I just heard from the experts in the clan who went to investigate that his range of activities was very fixed, and even if he was provoked, he would not step out of that area. area.”
Xiang Yan was very puzzled by what the old priest said, but he did not continue to ask. Instead, he asked: "Didn't you try to wake up or find out the cause of the high priest's problem?"
Hearing Yan's question, the old priest showed a slightly sad smile on his old face and said, "How could you not check it out?"
"It was precisely because of the search for the reason that the surviving masters of the tribe died of injuries. In the end, not only did no results be found, but the situation of the tribe became worse, and it was even reduced to the edge of destruction."
"Don't you have any clues?" Yan didn't believe that there were no signs or signs that the high priest had such a big problem.
"No!" the old priest said with certainty, "The only clue is that the accident occurred when the high priest was in seclusion to break through the cultivation level."
"Is there something wrong with my own cultivation?" Yan frowned tightly when he heard this.
By this time, Yan no longer had the dispensable attitude he had before. After all, if the high priest really had problems during his cultivation, then these problems would most likely be ones that he himself would need to face and avoid in the future.
"Bewitched or invaded by demons?" He murmured in his mouth. Thinking of some legends from later generations, Yan couldn't help but twitch in his heart. It's really not an easy thing to live forever. He has to face the unknown at any time. catastrophe.
Seeing Yan's look, the old priest knew that his words had completely aroused the other party's curiosity. A trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. Finally, he looked at the blazing flames and the laughing tribesmen not far away, and finally couldn't help but speak. advised:
"Warriors of the Yan clan, thank you very much for your patience in listening to the endless nagging of a dying old man. The matter of the high priest has been in the past for a long time, and he cannot have a greater impact on the surrounding area. There is no need for you. Take the risk and explore it.”
The words of the old priest brought Yan's attention back again. He smiled noncommittally and said, "Thank you, old priest, for your concern. I will consider it."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the people at the bonfire not far away, and then said, "I think your tribe's current situation is really bad. Since we have met by chance and we are both human beings, let me help you again."
Originally, according to Yan's original intention, apart from spreading fire and collecting ghosts, he generally would not interfere in the development of other human tribes.
However, the situation of the former high priest of this tribe and a reminder from the old priest's kindness made him decide to help this tribe.
After all, with the current situation of this tribe, even if there is fire, their living environment will not be greatly improved. It is still a high probability that they will eventually die in the wild jungle.
