The scene looked a little strange.
If he didn't know that the two were going to compete, he would have thought that Shao Xuan was asleep!
The snow was still falling, and the cold wind was blowing. Some of the unawakened children wrapped themselves in animal skins, but their eyes were fixed on the other side.
Tai waited for a long time, but still didn't see any reaction from Shao Xuan. He wondered what Shao Xuan meant. Did he really want to compete with him? Or was he playing with him? Thinking of this, Tai couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Ray and the others were also confused.
Not taking it seriously? Not in the right state?
No, that's not right!
Ray's eyes flashed.
Aura!
When hunting, warriors would have a habitual way of hiding their aura.
Before hunting, they couldn't let the prey detect them. Therefore, the warriors would hide their aura. Many of the older warriors had already made it a habit. They would carry this habit with them when they walked, making no sound.
In contrast, most of the younger warriors didn't have such a habit. Of course, it wasn't something that could be done just because they wanted to.
There was no need to do it deliberately. It was just a habit that was formed naturally after many hunts.
Inadvertently, they had already entered the best state!
In the past, when the elders in his family practiced with Ray, they were in such a state. There was no fighting spirit, no totem patterns, and they looked careless. But once they attacked, they would instantly kill the enemy.
However, that was a habit that only warriors who had hunted for many years had. How long had this person been hunting? It had only been a year since he awakened! Moreover, this person was two years younger than him!
Thinking of this, Ray's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the other side. He wanted to see if the next development was as he expected.
"That's enough." Shao Xuan, who was still like a block of wood, said.
Originally, Tai was quite angry when he saw Shao Xuan like this. He wanted to say something, but he was a little surprised. However, since Shao Xuan had said so, he didn't care about anything else. However, there was a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't explain why.
As for Shao Xuan, Tai's understanding of him was limited to the discussions of the people in the tribe. For example, he had found his ancestor, he had been accepted into the advance party, and he had raised a wolf and a bird that had no spirit at all. There were also some who said that Shao Xuan was the most outstanding among their batch of Awakened, but Tai had always been skeptical about this.
How powerful could a person who was about the same age as him, who had awakened at the same time as him, and who came from a cave under the mountain be? He had never heard of Shao Xuan defeating anyone.
"Alright!"
Tai stomped hard on the ground and rushed towards Shao Xuan. With every step he took, the snow on the ground was blown away by his powerful stomps. Muffled thuds could be heard from the ground due to his powerful stomps. A ferocious aura spread out. The people around could clearly feel the pressure brought by Tai at this moment. It could be seen that Tai's explosive power was indeed astonishing.
On the other hand, Shao Xuan was still standing there like a block of wood. He did not put up a defensive posture, nor did he reveal any totem patterns.
Was this guy stupid?
Everyone was puzzled.
Not only the others, but even Tai, who was already swinging his fist at Shao Xuan, was also puzzled. However, since he had already made his move, there was no reason to take it back. No matter what he was thinking, he would fight first!
Bang!
Fist and flesh collided.
What was this?!
All the emotions in Tai's heart turned into shock.
How was this possible?!
This was the same thought that emerged in everyone's mind at the same time.
At this moment, Tai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was frozen in place, his hair standing on end. Although the wind was howling in the heavy snow, his back was drenched in sweat.
He looked at the palm that blocked his fist. It was about the same size as his palm, and looked normal, but it stopped his fist from moving forward.
His line of sight followed the palm that blocked his fist. The palm was covered by an animal skin sleeve, and the arm was not exposed. He could not see how far the totem patterns in front of him had spread. Further up was a face that was already covered with totem patterns.
A moment ago, there was no trace of totem patterns, but now …
Shao Xuan's totem patterns did not spread gradually like Tai's. The totem patterns on his face seemed to have appeared suddenly at that moment.
Everyone knew that the totem patterns on the body appeared gradually from the top to the bottom. The speed at which they appeared was closely related to the user's control of totem power. The stronger the control of totem power, the faster the totem patterns would appear. However, the totem patterns on Shao Xuan's face appeared without any warning. In an instant, they all appeared.
What level of mastery did this person have over the totem power? No one wanted to think too deeply.
Tai met Shao Xuan's eyes, and his scalp went numb. He looked at Shao Xuan's eyes as if he was looking at a ferocious beast that had just bared its fangs and was about to break his arm in the next moment.
Retreat! This was the only thought in Tai's mind at the moment.
Tai put his feet on the ground and wanted to retreat, but he soon found that he could not retreat! The five fingers of the hand that had been blocking the fist had already bent and firmly grasped the fist that he had swung out.
Ray, who was standing at the side, closed his eyes.
One move to determine the winner.
There was no need to continue.
He did not know that someone in the tribe had reached such a level!
His great-grandfather had once told him that he should have a long-term vision and not just look at the people around him. However, he had never thought that there was anyone in the tribe who was worth paying attention to except the people on the mountain. Now it seemed that he was still too narrow-minded.
When he opened his eyes again, the shock on Ray's face had disappeared.
"Tai, you lost," Ray said calmly.
Lost? Tai, who was about to retreat, was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. Yes, he lost.
Tai only felt that the hand that held his fist loosened, and he could not withdraw his arm. He regained his freedom again.
"I lost," Tai said.
Tai looked up at the person in front of him again and found that the totem patterns on Shao Xuan's face had disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared.
"The fist that hits the tiger should hit the tiger's head," Shao Xuan said.
"That's right." Ray thought for a moment and said, "It's really boring to fight in the tribe … I understand what you mean."
Shao Xuan looked at Ray. What do you understand? He felt that something was wrong.
Ray felt that he had understood Shao Xuan's words, so he continued, "Just like how we walk the Road of Glory every year, the prey is the best way to measure our ability!"
The others also showed an expression that said, "That's right."
Even Tai, who had been a little depressed, immediately felt refreshed. "Good! Then let's compete with the prey! "
"Count me in," Ray said.
In hunting, it was not always about fighting that one could hunt more prey. There were many other factors. After the adjustment in the first year of awakening, they were already experienced warriors from the second year onwards. They did not need to give in anymore.
"I want to join, too," Mao said.
With Ray and Mao taking the lead, the other young warriors also clamored to join.
Shao Xuan, who was standing next to them, was speechless. That was not what I meant!
Shao Xuan originally just wanted to say that instead of fighting with their own people, they might as well go back and practice more. When they went out hunting next year, they could use their killing skills on the prey.
In the competition between tribes, because the stone tools were not durable, and the high-quality stone tools were very precious. Except for hunting, they were not willing to take them out. Therefore, when they competed, they only fought with their bare hands. Wooden sticks were only suitable for people who had not awakened yet.
It was okay to use such competitions to communicate with each other. They could practice and exercise when they had nothing to do. But if they wanted to compete with each other, it was not necessary. This was Shao Xuan's idea, because the behavior of totem warriors in daily life was completely different from that of hunting with tools.
However, Shao Xuan did not expect that his words would be misunderstood like this. These people were so excited that even ten wild beasts would not be able to pull them back from their thoughts.
"Since we have decided to compete with the prey, then … should we compete with one prey or quantity?" Someone asked.
Mao and Lei looked at Shao Xuan at the same time.
"Xuan, since you proposed it, how do you want to compete?" Mao asked.
Proposed my ass!
Shao Xuan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. If he could, he really wanted to swallow the words he just said and change them to something more straightforward. His words caused so much trouble. What a cheap mouth!
However, after thinking about it carefully, this method was actually not bad. It was much better to compete with each other than having a civil war in the tribe. After a year of hunting, the young warriors had matured a lot. They knew that they could not be impulsive in the hunting field. Under this premise, it was also a good thing to strive for better and more prey.
Too short a time was definitely not good. It was inevitable that some people would be eager for quick success. Moreover, they belonged to two hunting groups, so the environment would affect them.
"Let's do it for a year. Next winter, we will compete with each other with the results of a year." Shao Xuan said.
Mao and Lei also thought it was a good idea, "Okay, let's do it for a year!"
There were too many people who wanted to join, so Lei said, "Why don't we use animal skin rolls to record the names of those who want to join the competition?"
"I have animal skin." A young warrior took out a piece of animal skin.
"Where's a pen? Who has a pen? And paint? "Mao looked at the people behind him.
"Use this." Shao Xuan took out a charcoal pencil he made himself and handed it over.
"What is this? Can you write? "Someone asked.
It was the first time for many people to see Shao Xuan's charcoal pencil, but Mao used to be in the same hunting group as Shao Xuan, so he knew how to use it.
Taking the charcoal pencil, Mao wrote his name on the animal skin roll. After that, he handed the pencil to Shao Xuan.
When Shao Xuan finished, the pencil was snatched away by Lei. He grabbed the pencil like a stone knife and wrote his name.
After that, the other warriors also scrambled to write their names.
In the end, all the totem warriors present, including Mo-Er, Ku, and the others, wrote down their names and joined the year-long competition. Like Mo-Er, there were many people who were not interested in fighting. However, they felt that it was better to compete with prey.
Yangguang, Yangguang, and some others who had not yet awakened their powers, or who might awaken their powers after the end of this winter, were all eager to have a try. However, they could only stand aside, because Lei and Mao would not allow them to join the competition. Newly awakened warriors would have a long time to adjust and adapt at the beginning. Everyone didn't want them to be too impatient and disregard the rules of the hunting team, such as Hoodlum, who had almost caused trouble.
Therefore, the group of "fat dumplings" could only stand by the side, wrapped in thick animal skins, and glared angrily. (This is a good activity where a pie falls from the sky.
