Original War

Chapter 657 Shelf Life

The crystal tribe is not large, with a number of only a thousand, less than half of the Kun tribe, and it is not a combat tribe. However, the tribe that can survive, no matter how small, cannot be underestimated.

After Shao Xuan entered the Jing tribe, the food he saw was fish and some small beasts besides wild fruits and vegetables. Non-combat tribes had limited attack power and limited prey that could be hunted. The prey in the back should have been hunted by them with the net of the Ku tribe.

However, this tribe with a total population of less than 1,000 has a larger territory than the Ku tribe!

It is true that in this remote place with few people and lots of land, the area is all planned by oneself. In theory, you can have as much territory as you want. But there are many factors involved. If the enclosure is too large, the guards can’t keep up, and there are too many gaps, it would be a pitfall if you don’t know what to do.

Therefore, the territory of each tribe is delineated based on its own tribe’s abilities.

The crystal tribe is obviously not an idiot, can it be stupid to live to the current tribe? Don’t understand this truth?

But they still circled such a big land!

Shao Xuan found the answer to this question after continuing to go deep into the Jing tribe.

More than half of the territory as large as the Crystal Tribe is a quagmire!

If you look down from the air, all the quagmire of the crystal tribe is like an eye, corresponding to the eye pattern on the totem of the crystal tribe. The quagmire in the outer circle forms a barrier to prevent dangerous creatures outside the tribe from approaching. In the crystal tribe, there is also a large circular quagmire located in the center of the tribe.

The houses of the Jing tribe are also dry fences, but they are not as complicated as those built by the Ku tribes. Most of their houses are built on the ground. Only the witch’s house is built in the middle of the quagmire, located in the quagmire. superior.

Inferring from the shape of the quagmire, the quagmire may have been created by the Jing tribe itself, otherwise, how could it be the shape of the eye?

Crystal Witch brought them into the tribe. Because there was not a large enough room to house all the Yanhorners who came over, Crystal Witch received them directly outside the house. However, to discuss matters, Crystal Witch took Shao Xuan to the house in the central quagmire. .

Before that, Jing Wu asked Shao Xuan whether he would negotiate in other houses of the tribe, or go to the central quagmire?

Shao Xuan chose the latter.

This choice also let the people of the Jing tribe breathe a sigh of relief. Although due to the relationship between the Gu tribe people, their rejection of the Yanjiao people is not so strong, but there are still precautions. The central quagmire is close to the firepit of the tribe. According to traditional tribal people’s thinking, the closer it is to the firepit, the safer it is.

Shao Xuan’s choice surprised Jing Wu, but he was only surprised for a while and did not ask why.

Let the others wait outside the quagmire first, while Shao Xuan walked along a wooden bridge built on the central quagmire, and followed Jing Wu to the largest and most special house of the Jing tribe built on the central quagmire.

The crystal tribe, like the Jin tribe, has a transcendent status. Even in the crystal tribe, the leader is optional. In the history of the crystal tribe, there are many times when there is no leader. The witch has multiple roles and has absolute right to speak. Basically, no one in the tribe dared to refute what they said.

Jing Wu opened the door of the wooden house, and when he led Shao Xuan in, he quickly glanced at Shao Xuan’s face and found that Shao Xuan did not show a different color because of being close to the fire pond. This made Jing Wu even more surprised.

Shao Xuan observed this wooden house on the quagmire. In the Jing tribe, it was considered a mansion. Not to mention its large area, it was more careful when it was built. A lot of thought was spent on materials and shapes, although almost It’s all made of wood, but it looks very strong and doesn’t look shabby.

After entering the house, Shao Xuan saw some ornaments made of ground-eye stones placed in a conspicuous place. One of them was a tower-shaped base made of high-quality ground-eye stones, and a green one was placed on the top. Universal pupil”.

The universal pupil was twice as large as the nine that Wu Wu gave to Shao Xuan. The colorless areas were almost transparent, and the green areas were crystal clear and moist. It looks like a real beast’s eye, but it doesn’t make people who see it feel cold, but instead has a desire to keep staring at it.

It is worthy of the place where the shaman lives. The stones are bigger and more beautiful than others.

Seeing Shao Xuan staring at the universal pupil, there was only surprise and curiosity in his eyes, and there was no color of greed. No matter how slow Jing Witch’s complexion was, he rarely showed a faint smile, with pride and ostentation that he hadn’t noticed. Explained to Shao Xuan: “It was passed down by my ancestors. By all accounts, it is more than 800 years old and old.”

“Old?” Shao Xuan didn’t understand why Jing Wu used this word. Isn’t this a stone?

Knowing what Shao Xuan was thinking, Jing Wu continued: “Of course he will grow old and die. The earth eye stone has a lifespan.”

“Universal pupils can last for hundreds or even thousands of years, but ordinary earth-eye stones will not work. Only a hundred years or so, many or even decades will close their eyes forever.”

This statement makes people feel creepy, but Shao Xuan understands the meaning.

“Where do they come from?” Shao Xuan asked again. The ground eye stone is formed naturally, not artificially polished. How did it come from?

“Where do they come from?” The Crystal Witch stroked his own beard slowly, “From the ground eye, they were taken out of the ground eye’s body.”

“What is the ground eye?”

“It’s a kind of beast whose Life is underground.”

This kind of stone was actually taken out of the animal’s body!

As soon as Jing Wu explained, Shao Xuan thought of the reason.

Just like pearls have a shelf life, the “Earth Eye Stone” that is also produced in animals also has a shelf life. The higher the quality earth Eye Stone, the longer the shelf life. In other words, those ground-eye stones will “die” after the expiration date and no longer open their eyes.

Explaining the origin of the earth eye stone, but the Wanxiang pupil and the “eye”, Jing Witch is silent and unwilling to mention more.

“You said you have something to discuss here, why?” Jing Wu asked. Although there are some mentions on the cloth roll of the witch, it only said that Yanjiao is interested in the ground eye stone, and also persuaded them to use the ground eye stone to exchange more things with the ground eye stone. There was nothing else.

“You must have known that we are very interested in earth eye stones, including ordinary earth eye stones, universal pupils that come out of ten thousand, and’eyes’.” At the end of the conversation, Shao Xuan raised his finger and pointed. Own eyebrows, but his eyes looked at Jing Wu, the meaning couldn’t be more clear.

Hearing that Jing Wu’s expression was still close just now, Limala sinked, his eyes flashed sharply, “Your purpose is it?!”

Shao Xuan was still calm, and said in a hurry: “We have beautiful stones, and we also have other tools and methods to indicate directions. I came here this time for it. I don’t know why you call it. I just want to Change one from you.”

“Impossible!” Jing Wu stood up and stared straight at Shao Xuan, “I know that your flame horns are strong, but it’s useless if you ask them. Without the blood of our Jing tribe people, it can’t be integrated, regardless of strength. !”

The earth eye stone may be related to the fire of the crystal tribe. People with different blood ties and different fire abilities may reject it strongly and cannot succeed.

“I know this.” Shao Xuan said, “What I want to know is, can this thing be used on a fierce beast?”

Jing Wu wanted to refuse before Shao Xuan finished speaking, but after listening to Shao Xuan’s words, he was immediately taken aback, looking at Shao Xuan’s eyes as if he was looking at a madman.

Jing Wu’s eyes were too straightforward, but Shao Xuan had no other thoughts, still staring at Jing Wu, waiting for his answer.

“Do you want to use it for fierce beasts?!”

“Yes. A fierce beast that lost one eye.”

Jing Wu took a deep breath and exhaled again, squeezing the two eyebrows in the middle, and there were many folds on both sides of the “line” between the center of the eyebrows.

After a short while, Jing Wu finally said aloud.

“Have never tried.”

Perhaps the ancestors of the Jing tribe tried, but there is no relevant record left. Moreover, the Jing tribe migrated over a thousand years ago. Their tribe moved along with the river. The chosen place of survival must be close to the river. And also choose rivers that will not dry up in the dry season. Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Jing tribe chose the river formed after the cataclysm of heaven and earth, which is now the river of Yan after the second cataclysm.

Compared with other tribes, in the history of the Jing tribe, the frequency of migration was relatively high, and because of this, many older notes were lost in the migration.

The vast majority of what the Crystal Tribe retains are left after the migration, but after coming here, except for the first two years, you will see those fierce beasts that used to be on the edge of the mountain and forest in Life, and later crystals. Tribesmen have never been in contact with fierce beasts until now.

Therefore, the question asked by Shao Xuan, Jing Wu could not give an answer.

“Then do you have any extra’eyes’?” Shao Xuan asked.

Just as Jing Wu was about to sternly refuse, he suddenly thought of something, and stopped talking when he was about to speak.

Seeing Jing Wu’s reaction, Shao Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Originally thought that he would be strongly rejected by Crystal Witch, Shao Xuan also prepared a countermeasure. Yanjiao could provide a lot of things, and he could break Crystal Witch’s mouth by hitting more. But now it seems that this person’s attitude is wrong…

There is a play!

Shao Xuan did not urge, waiting for this person to consider.

About two minutes later, Jing Wu said with a tentative tone, “I heard that your Yanjiao tribe is very powerful and possesses many things that others don’t?”

“What do you mean?” Shao Xuan asked. arms? food? Or something else?

“You Yanjiao, can you heal the injury?” Jing Wu looked at Shao Xuan’s eyes with no stern look, but with strong expectations.

Shao Xuan’s heart moved, but his face didn’t show up, and he continued to ask: “It depends on what kind of injury it is.”

“Serious injuries, unable to walk.” The crystal witch’s face was covered with haze, as if thinking of something bad.

“Then you need to look at it to know. I can’t give you the answer without seeing the other party’s injury or illness.” Shao Xuan said.

“Yes! If he can be cured, I will give you an eye!”
