"Is it a fire crystal?!" Cheng's voice trembled uncontrollably, unable to calm down.
Mai slowly put down Shao Xuan and looked at the red crystal in Shao Xuan's hand. He wanted to reach out and take a look, but he was hesitant about something.
Shao Xuan reached out his hand and flipped his palm, letting the crystal fall.
Mai was afraid that he would be too slow, so he hurriedly caught it. He held it in his hand as if he was holding a treasure. He was nervous, excited, and in disbelief. All kinds of emotions were boiling and chaotic at the moment. He couldn't tell what he was feeling.
When he touched it, he could feel a warm current flowing. This warm current could only be around the crystal and couldn't extend further, as if it was confined.
The entire crystal was only the size of a quail egg. Its shape was irregular, and its surface was not very clean. There were even some stone chips on it. However, the light that shone down from the gaps between the leaves above was not very bright. When it shone on the red crystal, it was covered in a thick layer of red light and shadow.
The leaves above were swaying with the wind, and the light shone down was also changing. It seemed that the light and shadow around the red crystal were flashing around it, like a dancing fire, intoxicating people.
"Is it really a fire crystal?!"
Cheng trembled and moved closer, wanting to take a look himself. Mai closed his hand and held it tightly in his hand.
Seeing Mai like this, Cheng opened his eyes wide and the beard on his cheeks trembled. He said word by word, "You won't give it to me?!"
Cheng looked at Mai, as if he would kill him if he didn't show it to him. The muscles on Mai's face were also trembling. He didn't know what kind of expression he should make.
The two of them stared at each other for a while before Mai slowly opened his finger. It was much slower than when Shao Xuan opened his finger, as if it was in slow motion. When he opened his finger, he emphasized, "This was discovered by our team!"
Cheng automatically omitted Mai's "Our team found it" and took the red crystal from Mai's hand.
It wasn't as cold as the other stones. Instead, it was warm.
"The Fire Crystal … It's really the Fire Crystal!" Cheng held it in his hand and didn't want to return it.
The Fire Crystal was an extremely precious stone for the tribesmen. It contained the energy needed by the totem warriors, and it could also help the totem warriors improve their strength.
The way to absorb the fire crystal was special. It needed to be burned on the fire seed. Part of the burning energy was absorbed by the fire seed, and the other part was absorbed by the people around the fire pit.
More than twenty years ago, in Guigou's team, someone found a fire crystal a little bigger than a fingernail. At that time, more than ten junior totem warriors were promoted to intermediate totem warriors overnight. Although several intermediate totem warriors were not promoted to senior totem warriors, the totem tattoos on their arms were closer to their wrists.
A long time ago, one of the Shamans had said that whoever found the Fire Crystal would have the priority to use it. No matter if you were from the mountain or the foot of the mountain, no one else could interfere. However, there was another point. It must be in the hunting group as a whole. Once it was found, it could be used by the hunting group, and their families could also benefit from it.
No matter to Mai, Cheng, or anyone in the tribe, this was very attractive.
"Have you seen enough? Give it back to us! This was found by our team! "
Mai wanted to grab it back, but Cheng didn't want to give it back.
Shao Xuan watched the two team leaders grab a stone regardless of the time and place. Weren't they afraid of attracting the bats and ferocious beasts by making such a big noise here?
While the two were grabbing, Cheng said, "Our team is also here. You are not the only one here! Don't try to take it all by yourself! "
Seeing the two team leaders like this, the warriors in the two teams also began to discuss. Some of them didn't know what the Fire Crystal was, but after being told by their teammates, they understood. They looked at Cheng's clenched hands with burning eyes.
The warriors in the tribe had a persistent desire for power. This desire made them willing to take any risk and face any crisis.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. Suddenly, someone asked Shao Xuan, "Xuan, where did you find the Fire Crystal?"
Hearing this, the two team leaders stopped and looked at Shao Xuan.
"It's in that big pit," said Shao Xuan.
Mai didn't want to fight with Cheng. Anyway, Cheng couldn't take it all by himself.
"Before you left, you were digging for the Fire Crystal?" Mai asked.
"Yes. At that time, I felt something under my feet. It felt good. Later, when I was running away, I didn't want to give up, so I dug it out. "Shao Xuan said," Sorry, I will be calmer next time. "
"No, no, no. If it were me, I would be even less calm!" Cheng said at this time. If it were him, who felt the Fire Crystal under his feet, he would probably dig it out on the spot.
However, this might not be noticed by everyone. After all, Xuan was with the Shaman. Everyone attributed Shao Xuan's discovery of the Fire Crystal to the Shaman in their minds. As long as it was related to the Shaman, they would believe it without question.
At this time, Cha couldn't help but think: Why wasn't he on our team?
But soon, everyone realized one thing.
Cheng's breathing was a little messy. He tried to slow down his tone, and asked Shao Xuan, "When you were in the pit, did you feel the Fire Crystal in other places?"
"Yes!" Shao Xuan said affirmatively.
When they were running away, they felt a few places, but they didn't have time to dig it out.
As soon as Shao Xuan finished his words, the surroundings became silent instantly. Then, there was the sound of rapid breathing.
There were Fire Crystals …
There was more than one Fire Crystal …
And it was so big …
"Boss!"
"Let's go dig for the Fire Crystal!"
"Yes! Let's go! "
Cheng's team members were all anxious, and couldn't wait to run back to the giant pit.
"Wait, wait! Let me think about it first! "
Cheng began to walk in circles, thinking about what to do. Even when he was walking in circles, he didn't loosen his clenched fists.
Shao Xuan found that the people in the tribe seemed to like to walk in circles when they were excited.
Every time he saw them walking in circles, Shao Xuan thought of the dog he raised in his previous life. Every time it pooped, it would walk in circles first.
"If I knew there were Fire Crystals there, I would have tried to get more, even if I had to fight with those things." Cheng said, "But now we are back, we have to think about it carefully."
"Yes, we have to prepare more, we can't rush." Although Mai said so, his tone was not much softer than Cheng's. They were all thinking about the Fire Crystals.
"Let's go back first!" Cheng said.
"Okay! Let's go! "A group of people took stone swords and spears and planned to run away.
"Which way are you going? I mean to go back to the cave of our first stronghold! "Cheng said while shaking his beard.
A group of people became listless.
Back to the cave of Cheng's first stronghold, Mai finally got the Fire Crystals back from Cheng, and told Shao Xuan that he would keep them for now. Shao Xuan didn't mind. Mai didn't mean to keep them all to himself. Besides, to enjoy the benefits of the Fire Crystals, they were all in small groups, so no one could miss out.
Mai and Cheng, who were more powerful in the hunting group, gathered together to discuss. Because it was Shao Xuan who found them, they also asked Shao Xuan to join them.
After a night of discussion, the two group leaders finally decided to call the other three hunting groups.
When Shao Xuan said that there were more Fire Crystals, he thought that if Mai and Cheng wanted to keep them all to themselves, he would stop them and refuse to help. Only they might not be able to eat that big piece of meat.
After calming down, everyone knew that it was impossible for the two hunting groups to fight against those giant bats. Besides, there were wounded people in the hunting groups, so they were not in good condition.
Mai and Cheng took out the animal skin roll and wrote a few words to the other three hunting group leaders in the name of their own hunting group. As for whether they would come or not, it was up to them. However, as long as they weren't stupid, they would come without a rest.
"Now everyone should still be in the first stronghold. They haven't gone far. We can still find them if we go there quickly."
Mai and Cheng each sent a few people to deliver the letter to the other three hunting groups.
And those who stayed in the cave, the wounded ones hurried to recover, and those who were not wounded, went out to hunt those giant bats that attacked everywhere. They killed every single one of them!
Before, they all avoided the bats, but now, since they knew it was related to the Fire Crystals, their attitude was different. Every day, they rushed out with stone swords and spears, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
After receiving the letter, the other three hunting group leaders responded quickly. The fastest one came the next day, and the slowest one came the morning of the third day. They brought the whole hunting group with them.
They couldn't finish their hunting routes this time, but no one had any objection. Even the ancestors would crawl out and raise both hands to agree. Every member of the hunting group came here willingly, and one was more anxious than the other. They were afraid that they couldn't get a share of this big meat.
Five hunting groups, five hunting group leaders jointly made a decision that the main goal this time was to encircle and hunt the giant pit. Before that, they had to figure out the countermeasures.
Before the five hunting group leaders figured out the countermeasures, the members of the five hunting groups were in a state of high spirits every day.
When they heard about the abnormal situation, all the uneasiness, anxiety, fear, and uncertainty were thrown far away. Now, they were sharpening their swords, thinking about how to kill more bats every minute.
The person who was bitten was lying in the cave to recover. Half asleep, he got up in a daze, and staggered to walk in an "S" shape. His voice was not clear, "Let me go … I can still … kill more!"
His teammates smiled apologetically to the others in the cave, and then walked over to pull him back, "Yes, yes, yes, you can still kill more." Then, with a punch, he knocked the man out, dragged him to the side, and left him there to recover quietly.
After that person settled his teammates, he turned around and saw that everyone was looking at him. He said innocently, "Our boss said that there isn't enough medicine. The people who were bitten will be fine after taking some medicine and sleeping. They will also recover their strength."
The five hunting groups all gathered in the cave that became their first stronghold. It was a little crowded, but it didn't matter. Everyone was full of hope now. Everyone was looking forward to being promoted as soon as possible. Mai and the others were looking forward to being closer to advanced warriors. In normal times, they could enjoy relatively less resources. Most of them lived at the foot of the mountain. They were more ambitious, for themselves, and for the next generation.
As for the advance group …
