Chapter 469: Tribal Secret

There are fire crystals on the ground. Half of them were dug out by the Fox people before, but now they are all frozen and have to be dug again.

However, the three leaders had better weapons and tools, and they had great strength. They had illuminated crystals, so they dug quickly. However, they were also alert when digging to prevent others from coming, such as Liehu and other people from the Sen tribe.

Shao Xuan planned to jump into the pit dug out of the fire crystal to take a look. There was a layer of white ice on the wall of the pit. He tied a rope first and put it down, and slid down the straw rope.

The pit is already dug deeper and the surroundings are slippery, so it is more convenient to use ropes.

After Shao Xuan got down from the pit, he landed directly in the place where the giant beast had stayed.

The giant beast left, and now it was a long tunnel, with the surrounding stone walls covered with a layer of white ice. Although it was thin, it was frozen together with the same rock layer and was very hard.

The temperature was very low, and Shao Xuan felt that the breath he exhaled was not warm at all.

He could feel that there were fire crystals around this "tunnel". Perhaps this giant beast stayed in such a place because of the fire crystal. Just like the bat king once was.

However, after so many years, this "snake" has never come out. It has been dormant for hundreds of years? It is really long, and I don't know how big it is.

He waved his sword, chiseled the ice layer next to him, and dug out a piece of fire crystal embedded in the hole wall. After feeling it, Shao Xuan found that this fire crystal should have been absorbed, but it was not absorbed.

That "snake"?

No matter so much, Shao Xuan's movements accelerated. He waved the sword in his hand and did not need to luminous crystals. He could see the fire crystals on the cave wall clearly and accurately start with a special field of vision.

Swish! Swish!

For a moment, the sound of digging fire crystals echoed in the entire tunnel, and the sound of Zhengluo and the others digging above the pit.

After Zheng Luo and the others picked up the fire crystals above, even the frozen people on the Liehu were scattered out and put them all into their animal skin bags. The three of them jumped into the long "tunnel" below.

"I originally planned to come and grab the salt mine with Liehu and the others this time, but I didn't expect to grab their fire crystals." The leader of Taihe smiled.

No matter what, I finally got some comfort when I was able to get the fire crystal.

The fire crystal layer on the Liehu side has been dug, and each fire crystal is relatively large, better than the ones in the Yanjiao Salt Cave.

The three leaders took a break and continued to act. No one knew how long the king beast would leave. They could only take this opportunity to dig more and wait for the king beast to come back. They retreated.

"I have never seen so many fire crystals after living for so long." The leader of Taihe's breathing was rapid, and I don't know if he was tired or happy.

"I have lived for nearly eighty years and have never seen so many fire crystals." Shanfeng Tribe sighed.

Shao Xuan paused his fire crystal and Zheng Luo was also silent.

The leader of Taihe glanced at Zheng Luo and said nothing.

Although the three leaders looked about the same age and were about forty years old, in fact, this was not the case. They were all much older than Zhengluo.

Perhaps other people who don’t know about the Yanjiao tribe don’t know. But the Taihe tribe, who has been with the Yanjiao people for a long time, knows that among all tribes, the average lifespan of the Yanjiao people is the shortest.

This was what Shao Xuan only learned later. When he was on the other side of the sea, he realized it, but was not sure. He only learned the truth after coming here. The Yanjiao people are different in many places, but only one is different from other tribes and is like the most ordinary person without any power, that is lifespan.

Many of the people from the Taihe tribe who came this time were over 100 years old, but they still looked like they were in their prime. But if they were in the Yanjiao tribe, even if they were over 100 years old, they would never be able to hunt. They could only help farm and could not do too tiring work. At the end of their lives, they aged very quickly.

Because their lives are incomplete.

This was something that I could not have thought of when the fire split.

The reason why the ancestors of those days felt extremely guilty was that they left so much guilt in the notes that they could not return to their hometown, but more importantly, they realized that the punishment brought to them by the fire division had not had a complete life period.

The Yanjiao people are better than other tribes in many ways, but in terms of lifespan, they have a knife hanging. They will cut them mercilessly without waiting for them to go all the way.

Perhaps the witch knew about this matter on the other side of the sea, but she just didn't tell others. In addition, the Yanjiao tribe over there has been isolated from the world, and everyone could not notice such disadvantages, without any negative emotions or pressure. The people here did not communicate much with the outside world, and most people did not know about it. Perhaps some of the soldiers knew about it, but they were just holding it in their hearts.

Back then, the ancestors of the tribe allowed intermarriage with external tribes, perhaps because of this kind of thing to see if this problem can be solved. Unfortunately, there is no effect. The bloodline of the Yanjiao is too strong and the bloodline of the external tribe cannot be suppressed.

When he first came here, most of the notes of the ancestors that Shao Xuan read were just with extremely guilty notes, but he did not mention the reason directly. It was not until Shao Xuan returned to the tribe from Gongjia Mountain and practiced controlling the power of the ancestor bone decoration that Wu mentioned it to him.

Even though many people in the tribe know that their lifespan is not as long as other tribes, they do not know the reason. Some people think that it is because the lifespan of the Yanjiao people is supplemented with strength. They are given divine power, so they stripped away other things. Thinking about this, many people are mentally balanced again.

The witch didn't tell them, and they didn't want them to hold extremely slim hopes. Generations have passed, nearly a thousand years have passed, and they still haven't been able to go back. I don't know when this matter started, but only the highest level of the tribe knew, Zheng Luo knew, Wu knew, and others didn't know the real reason.

Shao Xuan's arrival is a light and a hope.

In the past year, Wu has sent several groups of people to the beach. When Shao Xuan came to the place he had just waited for one opportunity, he took the entire tribe to migrate. Unfortunately, he has never discovered the opportunity. No one knows how long it will take for such an opportunity to come again.

Go back...how to go back?

Shao Xuan thought about it, and his actions of digging the fire crystal became absent-minded.

The leader of Shanfeng was quite puzzled. What was going on with this atmosphere? He felt suddenly depressed.

"I'll go nearby first." Shao Xuan handed the dug out fire crystal to Zheng Luo and ran along the tunnel.

While running, Shao Xuan identified the direction and calculated the distance until he arrived at a place and stopped and looked at the top of the "tunnel". This place should be closer to the salt cave in the Yankee, not directly above, but above the diagonally.

Before he started digging immediately, Shao Xuan continued to walk along the "tunnel" until he reached the end of the tunnel. This is where the king beast rushed out from the ground. However, the entrance of the cave was already frozen, and a very thick layer of ice blocked the entire entrance. The closer it was to the entrance, the colder it became.

Shao Xuan did not walk over, but listened carefully, and did not hear the sound of the king beast outside, so he turned back.

The king beast kept ice at the entrance of the cave, and it should not be meaningless to come back in a short period of time.

He called Zheng Luo and the others over and said what he meant. He planned to start digging under the Yanjiao Salt Cave.

If they were trapped here for a few days, then if they were digging fire crystals, would they still come down from the Liehu's place every time? Liehu was obviously targeted by the king beast. If it went over, I wonder if it would anger the king beast. Moreover, a large part of the people from the Liehu and the Sen tribe were not here. If they came back, both sides would inevitably fight. At this time, there was no need to consume with them.

Four people decided to do it like this.

Where to dig or not?

Shao Xuan quickly waved his sword, blocked the sword that Gong Jia Heng had repaired, broke through the ice layer of the "tunnel", and dug down the stones on the rock wall piece by piece.

Zheng Luo and the other two also worked harder.

The situation outside is not clear, so you can't leave immediately. It's better to catch more fire crystals. Even if you fight with the king beast later, they will try their best to protect some people back and let them take the fire crystals back, so that they will not be in vain in such weather. The fire crystals dug out can be used by the tribe for a long time.

The range they dug was not large, not even one-tenth of the pit on the Liehu's side, but the four of them worked together and made a quick progress. The rocks were very hard at the beginning, but the more they went up, the easier it was.

In the cave of Yanjiao, the soldiers guarding next to the lower fire crystal pit were panicked when they heard the movement coming from under the pit and hurried to find Duokang.

Duokang asked some people from the lower salt cave to go up first to prevent the ice from spreading again. After the arrangement was made, he took a few people to approach the fire crystal pit carefully, intending to run away as soon as he saw the ice.

What else is there except the king beast that is active underground?

Crack Crack Crack

The sound below became clearer and clearer, unlike the movements of the king beast, without the intimidating momentum, nor the ice-cold situation.

Foreign enemy? Liehu tribe or a member of the Sen tribe?

Duo Kang became alert, moved little by little, stretched his neck and looked into the pit, signaling that others were ready to take action at any time.

The other soldiers around were also holding the weapons in their hands, and their muscles were twitching nervously. They were frightened by the king beast, and they really didn't want to see any strange things popping up below. I hope it was humans, whether it was from the Fox, the Sen tribe, or other tribes.

The sound is getting closer and closer.

The people around the pit were nervous, and they didn't look like the movements of giant beasts.

There seems to be loosening below.

Duokang raised his hand.

Puff! Gululu!

The soil layer and rocks were pushed away.

Duokang was about to wave his arms and roar "take action" when he saw four heads appearing below, turning back.

Take a closer look.

Three leaders and an elder popped up in the cave!

The four people who finally dug up from below emerged and saw a circle of people surrounding the pit, each pointing at themselves with swords and axes. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
