Original War

Chapter 285

In the wooden house in the rain tribe where the tourists rested, the members of the long-distance team rested all night. As for how they slept, you can see the constipation-like complexion of the people the next day.

When Shao Xuan opened his eyes, the light in the room was very dim, but with the biological clock formed over the years, he knew that the sun should have come out long ago.

The wooden houses here are simple in construction, and there are many gaps between the roof and the surrounding wooden walls. If there is sunlight outside, they can penetrate through these gaps.

However, the feeling to the people in the house now is as if the dawn has not arrived, and the night is still the same. There was a little hazy light, but it was still mostly black.

“What’s the matter?” Tuo turned over and got up from a wooden bed of hay that was slightly above the ground. He also felt that it should be the time when the sun was clear, but he didn’t see the light as it should. I always feel a little gloomy and depressed.

“Huh?” Tuo said suspiciously.

Shao Xuan also turned over, and as soon as his feet landed, he felt a layer of soft sand on the floor of the house.

Kakaz——

Shao Xuan opened the door.

The gray wind blew in immediately, making people breathe.

When the door was opened, there was a dim light in the room. Through the light, the three people saw the situation inside the house.

Except where they slept, basically a thick layer of ash fell, and a lot of sand and dust leaked from the roof at this time.

The people of the Yu tribe were thoughtful enough. Above the wooden bed, near the roof, a layer of straw mat was covered, and the dust that leaked from the roof fell on the straw mat.

“It’s no wonder that I always heard awkward sounds last night. I didn’t sleep well because of the noise.” Ray looked at the situation in the room and said with a yawn.

People who often hunt in the mountains and forests will definitely not sleep deeply. A little movement can make them alert. Even the sound of sand falling, in the quiet night, they can hear quite clearly with their ears. .

“Shall we leave in this weather?” Tuo asked.

“I should not be able to go.” Shao Xuan heard the footsteps approaching outside the house.

Soon, the figure of Spring Leaf appeared at the door of their house.

“The team rests here for two days, and waits for the weather to get better before setting off.” Huang Ye said to the three of them.

“Okay, I see.” Shao Xuan said.

“Also, be careful. Every time this kind of dusty weather in this area, something will come out. Be careful.” Huaye had planned to warn these young soldiers who came to this place for the first time, by the way. It’s more serious, and those creatures are more terrifying, and these young soldiers who are easy to get rid of their brains and love them lightly will be alert.

However, as he spoke, Huang Ye found that the atmosphere next to him was wrong, and when he raised his head, he met three pairs of shiny eyes. For some reason, the following words can’t be said anymore.

After thinking about it for a while, the leaf suddenly appeared.

Yes, the people of Yanjiao are different from people of other tribes. How can these people who live next to the fierce beasts be afraid of the creatures that suddenly appear? Maybe still thinking about how to catch those for food.

What Spring Leaf had expected was really correct. Shao Xuan and the trio are really trying to catch a few of these beasts to change their tastes. The Yanjiao people like meat the most. Those hard breads really can’t add enough energy to them. .

Spring Leaf sighed, anyway, he brought his words, and turned to another wooden house to inform people.

Shao Xuan looked at the sky outside. In the distance, there was a ding-ding-banging sound from the Yu tribe, because there was too much dust to see the situation there. But according to what Yang Sui said, he was building an altar for praying for rain.

Thinking of asking for rain, Shao Xuan sighed and was about to close the door, when he had a sudden stop. Lei He Tuo behind him also stopped what he was holding, and the three of them looked at the place near the wooden table in the house.

A thick layer of dust fell from the legs of the table, and now, the surface of that layer of dust was slightly raised and still moving. Obviously there was something under the dust.

Lei and Tuo glanced at each other and started to move almost at the same time.

“mine!”

“Whoever grabs it will get it!”

The creature below that layer of dust sensed the approach of danger, suddenly speeded up, and rushed toward the outside of the house.

Shao Xuan saw an earth-colored slender figure flashing past the door, rushing under the dust outside.

“It’s a snake!” Shao Xuan reminded the two to be careful. In such a place, snakes always have the ability to protect themselves, and they may be highly venomous.

Lei and Tuo were still a little shackled in the house, fearing that the house would be destroyed and there was no place to live. Now that the snake ran out, they were overjoyed and rushed out the door.

The snake under the sand was originally buried inside, and as Thunder and Tuo approached quickly, it also sprang out like a spring. It is a snake with a thumb that is one meter long. It stood up, opened its mouth, revealing two fangs. The venom spurted out.

laugh–

Shao Xuan could hear the noise of the venom corroding the dust while standing at the door.

Tuo cut off the snake head first, and after cutting off the snake head, he slapped it flat with a knife. When they were in the mountains and forests, they would use this method when they caught snakes, because some snakes bite people after their heads were chopped off. After learning their lesson, they used this method every time they encountered a snake, no matter what it was. Way to avoid future troubles.

“Ha, mine!” Tuo held the headless snake body on his hand and swayed towards the thunder.

Lei didn’t even look there again, as if he was listening carefully. Turn around and take two steps backwards, leaping up, under the totem pattern covered with half of his arm, the muscles are tense. Swinging his arm and swinging the stone knife in his hand, he vigorously chopped down towards a place.

Bang!

The hard mud surface exploded, and a figure quickly jumped out among the flying clods and the dust.

Shao Xuan condensed his gaze on the creature that rushed out.

pangolin?

No, the hard armor on the outside of that creature seems to be much thicker than the scale armor of the pangolin, and the body is more slender, nearly two meters in color. The whole is not slow because of wearing a layer of hard armor, on the contrary, they are very agile.

The creature always wanted to find a chance to run away or get into the ground, but neither Lei nor Tuo gave it a chance. Under Lei and Tuo’s joint hands, it didn’t last three breaths before it was chopped.

Not staying outside for a long time, Lei dragged the creature, hurrying to skin it. Although I saw such a creature for the first time, I have encountered a similar creature. It is not unfamiliar to peel it off. I took care of it three or two times. I don’t expect to have extra water to clean it. Reti walked towards the house. Today Their food is guaranteed. That layer of hard armor was not left, so it can be self-defense by taking care of it.

They still wanted to catch another one, but unfortunately, the movement just now was so loud, even if there was still underground, they avoided it, and they had to wait and see.

The movements of Lei and Tuo caused all the people around who had been resting in the house to open the windows or doors and saw what had just happened outside.

Shao Xuan didn’t make a move just now, just to guard against other people, not only in the team, but also from the rain tribe nearby. Not everyone in the Rain Tribe is friendly to them. Someone just wanted to come over to grab them, but seeing Shao Xuan staring at them, they didn’t make a move.

After Shao Xuan and all three of them entered the room, the others looked back.”The people of Yanjiao tribe are really…” someone said in a room.

Really, everyone thinks differently.

Shao Xuan and the three people burned a fire in the house and simply roasted the meat. Although the meat is not delicious and it is stained with a lot of sand, it is better than the hard dough.

After eating some, Shao Xuan planned to go out.

Lei and Tuo now know that Shao Xuan knows the witches of the Yu tribe, and they didn’t say much. After eating, they started to rest. I want to go to the outside to see if I can catch one or two more when I wake up.

Against the wind and sand, Shao Xuan went to the small hill yesterday.

Yang Sui still stayed in the wooden house, holding a cow’s tail in a daze. Probably came here early in the morning, and a layer of ashes had fallen off his body.

“Why do you use bull tails for rain?” Shao Xuan walked in and asked.

Hearing Shao Xuan’s question, Yang Sui returned to his senses, looked at Shao Xuan, flicked the oxtail in his hand, and did not hide it, this is not an important secret.

“It is said that in the early days, the ancestors prayed for rain and sacrificed to stones. Those stones are not ordinary stones, but a kind of stone called rain stone. If you dig in a nearby mountain, you can also dig some. It’s black, and it’s very cold on a hot day. Almost all the rain stones we use for rain beg for the height of one person.

“Is it possible to beg for rain?” Shao Xuan asked.

“It also needs to be accompanied by a sacrificial dance, but it is all auxiliary. Whip stone for rain is indeed the earliest way of praying for rain by the ancestors. But later, I don’t know when, the way of praying for rain changed. The ancestors said, rain stone Behind it, there is an older ancestor spirit, who is the protector of the tribe’s good weather and good harvest. It can eliminate diseases and eliminate disasters. Everyone is beginning to fear rainstones. To protect the prosperity of the tribe, don’t strike rainstones again, otherwise they will be found. Disaster. The whip will not live!”

When Yang Sui said this, his tone was a little ironic, but he actually didn’t say that he didn’t respect his ancestors, but he was just suspicious of some things. And these doubts, ordinary people don’t dare, and don’t think too much, only the people who have the deepest contact will study them deeply.

The so-called “whip people do not live”, probably because the matter of asking for rain is too wasteful of inheritance, and it needs to sacrifice some as a price. People who are slightly weaker will be exhausted if they ask for rain once. In addition to what Yang Sui said, asking for rain is getting harder and harder, so the witches naturally have to bear a great psychological burden. After all, in the Yu tribe, they burned to death. of. Under the dual pressure of physical and psychological, it is strange to be comfortable. If the individual is weak, one request for rain can be drained of all physical strength and belch.

“Then I won’t beg for rain now, why use oxtail?” Shao Xuan pointed to the oxtail in Yang Sui’s hand.

“This is for guilt. Ask the ancestors, beg the gods, and forgive us for our faults. The oxtail whip is offered to repay our sins.” Yang Sui shook the ox tail on his hand at will, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: “I heard that there was a witch begging. After the rain, I was beaten by the gods.”

Shao Xuan pumped his face.

Therefore, begging for rain is the transition from “do you not rain?” The people of the rain tribe play the SM game of flogging and begging for flogging with their rain god? But it won’t rain after the fight!
