Chapter 271: Worship the ancestors again
To get the direction indicated by the knot, you must cross the river.
Shao Xuan walked along the river for a while and did not find a place where he could go directly, so he asked Zhazha to help him take a ride.
While catching the eagle claws, Shao Xuan saw a hunting scene by the river.
An animal with long and sharp claws, like a gibbon, was attracted by the shining things on the river bank, and planned to dig it out and take a look. The water arrow suddenly arrived.
However, the animal reacted quickly, and stopped digging in her hands and began to dodge quickly.
The two consecutive arrows were not hit. I wonder if it was because the prey of Shao Xuan was thrown away the moment before. The fish in the water was a little anxious, and the head hidden under the water was exposed, and some fan-shaped scales could be seen.
Three more water arrows shot out continuously, and the first two water arrows blocked the retreat of the prey on the shore. When the prey turned in a hurry, the third water arrow hit the target.
The prey on the shore was staggered, and at this little pause, the subsequent water arrows arrived one after another.
A sharp and shrill cry sounded in the mountains and forests, as if it was about to pierce the eardrums. However, its cry only shocked a few timid birds. Other creatures in the mountains and forests did not move because of this cry. Except for the fish in the water.
The fish body, about six or seven meters long, looked large and thick. Suddenly, it jumped out of the water and fell to the river bank. The developed pectoral fins and ventral fins were like four legs. After it landed on the shore, it bounced up again under the action of support. It opened its big mouth with sharp teeth and bit the prey that was slow to move due to being shot by water arrows one after another.
Shao Xuan could clearly hear the crisp sound of the bones.
The prey had fear and disbelief in its eyes, and the strange fish biting the prey contracted its developed pectoral fins and ventral fins, biting the struggling prey, and rolled from the river bank into the river. The panic screams disappeared instantly, leaving only bubbles emerging from the water.
Everything around the river has returned to the tranquility that has just begun, with only some bubbles and not obvious blood floating up from the river.
This is the ferocious beast forest that people from all tribes fear, and the crises hidden under the seemingly quiet surface. Even if you look at it from a distance, it will give people a sense of great pressure.
Shao Xuan withdrew his gaze, and after crossing the river, he returned to the ground. He continued to deal with the various murderous intents in the mountains and forests, and continued to move in the direction given by the knot.
When Shao Xuan was moving towards his target position in the mountains and forests, the witch counted the days in the tribe.
It has been six days, and I don’t know when Shao Xuan will come back. When I think of Shao Xuan and Wu, I feel a headache and I’m worried about that.
Just as he was worried, Ao walked in quickly from outside.
"What happened?" Wu asked.
After hearing Ao's words, Wu was relieved that it was not Shao Xuan's business, but something else, but Wu was slightly relieved, but what Ao said must be taken seriously and cautiously.
The people from the Lu tribe told them that a special long-distance team would arrive, and the people in the team were from some large tribes in the central region.
The new thing distracted the tribes, and Wu didn't have time to count how long Shao Xuan had left.
After three days of difficulty moving forward, Shao Xuan finally arrived at the place indicated by the knot.
Although there is no sign or stone here to indicate that this is where he is looking for, Shao Xuan feels that it is here.
Look around, there are mountains around it, belonging to a mountain range, and you can see white snow at the top of the towering peaks.
When she approached here, Shao Xuan felt that something seemed to attract him in the mountains.
Being alert to the surroundings, Shao Xuan walked step by step towards the place that attracted him. He didn't know where he was or what he was looking for, but he just felt that he should find that thing.
The higher you go, the mountains get steeper and the trees gradually become sparse, and the attraction gets closer and closer.
Finally, Shao Xuan came to a cave entrance. Looking at the huge rock blocking the cave, Shao Xuan inserted the knife back into the leather case around his waist. He took a deep breath, hugged the stone and moved out.
With the dull friction sound, the stones were moved away little by little.
It was almost close to the top of the mountain. Although there was no snow, the temperature was much lower than the foot of the mountain. However, it seemed like someone was lit in the cave. As the stones moved away, Shao Xuan could feel the oncoming heating, the old-fashioned heating.
Unlike this kind of heating, the cave was pitch black, but no fire was seen.
There was a strange force blocking it here, repelling the invaders. It seemed that if the invaders persisted, the strange force would tear everything that was forced into invasion like a rotating blade of a blender. However, this strange force gave Shao Xuan a familiar feeling.
Zhazha circled around the sky, unwilling to come down, and he would not get close to him when he was beaten to death. Shao Xuan did not force it.
After moving the stone away, Shao Xuan went to find some dry wood, lit a torch, and walked in step by step.
I don’t know how long this hole has existed, but there are some things that can’t be seen clearly at the entrance of the hole. When you touch it, it will turn into mud or crush it.
Inside! It's inside!
He walked deep into the cave with a torch. Not long after, Shao Xuan saw several people, to be precise, six corpses standing who had been dead for unknown periods.
Before they could see clearly, Shao Xuan thought it was a blocker. After seeing clearly, he found that there were six brown mummies like skinny bones. Their hair was still there, and the animal skin on their bodies was no longer bright and had a layer of dust, which was not as flexible as before. If they were cut, they could easily be cut.
Six people completely blocked Shao Xuan's way forward.
These six people could no longer see their former appearance on their faces. There were no eyeballs in their deep concave eyes, but they seemed to be staring at something seriously. Although they had no expression, they inexplicably gave people a sense of firmness and determination. It seemed that no one or anything could remove them.
The closer he got, the more Shao Xuan could feel the force that seemed to be about to tear everything. His chest churned, and the pain of burning fire thorns spread throughout his body.
Shao Xuan had to use the power of totem to resist.
However, strangely, when Shao Xuan used the power of totem and appeared to the totem pattern on his body, the powerful resistance became softer and no longer repelled. Instead, Shao Xuan felt close.
The strange power of blocking is gone.
People from the Yanjiao Tribe?!
If they were really from the Yanjiao Tribe, then they must be those ancestors from thousands of years ago, right?
Since he was an ancestor, according to the tradition of tribes, he had to bow to his ancestors. Shao Xuan's blood flowing from Yanjiao in his body now. As Yanjiao people, he naturally had to bow to him.
Shao Xuan put the torch aside and paid tribute to the six people in front of him seriously, with the etiquette of his ancestors.
Six corpses fell down.
Looking at the falling corpse, Shao Xuan was stunned, thinking that he had bowed his ancestors, but then he thought, it was wrong.
The six people blocked the way forward before, but now they fell down and left a corridor, which was not wide, but Shao Xuan walked over just in time.
Picking up the torch and being careful not to trample on the ancestors, Shao Xuan continued to walk in.
As he walked forward and walked about twenty meters away, Shao Xuan saw a man sitting cross-legged on the ground, or a mummy similar to the six people in front of him. However, this mummy was more complete, and except for being slightly shriveled, his appearance was clear.
Perhaps because he is too old, there are more wrinkles on his face. Look at his clothes...
It doesn't look like a warrior, but it's somewhat similar to that old man Wu.
witch?
No matter whether it is, I will say it after seeing my ancestors.
Shao Xuan bowed seriously again, and then he felt the strange power dispersed like the wind.
The temperature in the cave suddenly dropped, as if the lit torch was extinguished and the heating was no longer there.
Shao Xuan's eyes passed over the person sitting cross-legged on the ground. Behind the person were wooden boxes and stone boxes, with a layer of dust already accumulated on it. (To be continued.)
