The weak in the mountains and forests are most vulnerable to attack, so Shao Xuan has always been cheering up and paying attention to his surroundings. He is now just an unemployed child. In the eyes of wild beasts and ferocious beasts, he is one of the weakest two people in this team.

When I passed through the basin, it was almost evening. Shao Xuan originally thought there would be a cave here for rest. After all, the rule of the hunting team is to not go out to hunt at night, and staying outside is too dangerous. There is no cave in this place to rest.

To Shao Xuan's surprise, the cave in the second stronghold was not on this side.

The second hunting ground is on the other side of the mountain, but...

Shao Xuan looked up and looked at the mountain that could not see the top of the mountain or the border. It was too difficult to climb over. Even with the strong physical strength of the totem warrior, he might not be able to climb over in one day, let alone it was too late. There were already many shiny eyes staring at this side in the jungle near the foot of the mountain.

Mai led the hunting team and did not stop, but continued to walk up the mountain.

There is indeed a hole near the mountainside. The hole is very large and it is not formed naturally, nor is it dug out by tribes, but a hole drilled out by some creature.

To be precise, it is actually a passage. Every time the hunting team comes over, they will enter here, walk to the other side of the mountain and pass directly through the mountain.

On the wall of the cave near the entrance, there were densely engraved characters. At the end, Shao Xuan saw Mai's name.

When each leader of the team passes here, he will write his name on it. Therefore, all the names above are written by the leaders of the hunting team in the tribe. When Mai can no longer lead the team, after the new team leader is selected, when he comes here, the new leader will also write his name on it. In their opinion, this is a symbol of honor.

Before entering the cave, the hunting team members held a small ceremony to thank the ancestors who opened this hunting route.

Mai put the spear in his hand at his feet, knelt on one knee, his palms facing inward, his hands staggered in front of his forehead, and bowed to the cave wall full of names.

"Respect for the ancestors!!"

"respect!"

Shao Xuan also followed other members of the hunting team to show his gratitude with the same courtesy.

It is said that the routes taken by each hunting team were taken by the ancestors. A long time ago, when the tribe was short of staff, they did not divide so many hunting teams. Every time they went out to hunt, they would change their routes one by one. This time they would go to this route to hunt next time, and then change them next time.

Later, there were more people in the tribe, so several teams were divided into them. Each hunting route opened by the ancestors had a hunting team walking there.

The reason for following the route is to avoid unknown and unpredictable factors. What kind of beasts are there on each hunting route? How many ferocious beasts are there? What is the geographical environment? These can be obtained from the experiences passed down from generations of hunting warriors. If you deviate from this route too far, you will not be able to respond in time to anything you encounter, which will lead to greater losses.

Of course, the hunting route is just a general direction formulated, and can be freely used on this basis. For example, Mai’s hunting team is to cross the mountain where the first stronghold is located, then pass through the basin, and then walk through the current mountain to the other side of the mountain.

As for some people in the tribe who have their own ideas to open up new routes, no one can think about anything except the joint decisions made by the witch and the leader.

What? I’m deluding to open a new hunting route?

Are you better than your ancestors?

Absolutely impossible!

The new route is not something you can do casually. Do you think this route is not good?

It's outrageous! You dare to doubt your ancestors! Believe it or not?!

...

People in the tribe are always particularly persistent about what they have passed down from their ancestors. Even if there are many decisions that are not suitable for Shao Xuan, people in the tribe do not think they are wrong at all.

In addition to being loyal to the totem, the tribe also had worship and trust beyond Shao Xuan's imagination. Even if the ancestors crawled out of the ground and told them that there was only one moon in the sky now, the tribe's people would nod without hesitation.

This is also the brainwashing education achievement of previous witches, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

The leaders of each generation of hunting team lead the hunting team. They always feel that only by walking the paths taken by the ancestors can they be worthy of their ancestors and be worthy of the hunting route opened by the ancestors. You can see that the names written on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave are all similar.

After entering the cave, the fire was lit, and the hunting team did not go in. According to the previous habits, after entering the cave, they would spend the night at the entrance of the cave first, and walk in early tomorrow morning. It would take some time to pass through the cave because it is not a straight line.

"How did this cave that leads to the other side of the mountain come from?" Shao Xuan asked Langga while resting beside the fire.

"When the ancestors found this place, the cave had already existed. It is said that there was a stone insect king insect at the foot of the mountain. The winding paths in the mountain were all revealed." Lang Ga said.

"Stone Worm?" Shao Xuan was surprised. The nearly circular passage was at least ten meters high. And when Mai and others said that in addition to the passages on both sides, there were many other passages inside the mountain that led to the underground or towards the top of the mountain. I really didn't expect that such a scale of perforated cave passages were actually made by stone insects?!

How big is that one!

It's incomparable to the stone worms used as bait!

However, this should be the saying passed down by the ancestors who came here to open up hunting routes. Whether there are really stone insects remains to be verified.

"Then... have any of the ancestors seen the stone insects at the foot of this mountain?" Shao Xuan asked. It has been so many years since the initial generation of hunting teams came to open up the route. Even if the tribal hunting team didn't spend much time here, anyone has seen it, right?

"No." Seeing that Shao Xuan was still suspicious, Lang Ga said, "But listen, there will be a sound in the cave, and there must be a stone insect king insect."

Shao Xuan listened carefully and found that there were indeed some very slight whistling sounds, but that was not necessarily caused by stone worms. Since there were many caves in the mountain, the wind would blow in from one hole and the other holes would blow out, and there would be such a sound.

I still had a lot of doubts in my heart, but seeing Lang Ga’s appearance, even if Shao Xuan asked, he would not get the answer. No longer arguing with these stubborn people, Shao Xuan turned to ask: “What’s there on the other side of the mountain? What’s the difference between it and this side of the mountain?”

Sure enough, Lang Ga's attention was quickly diverted.

"Difference? In fact, the biggest difference is that there are many huge birds on the other side of the mountain." Lang Ga stretched out his arms and gestured. Although his arms were limited in length, Shao Xuan knew that it must be really, very big when he looked at the exaggerated expression on his face.
