The Shaman's face trembled violently, as if he couldn't believe Shao Xuan's words. However, Shao Xuan didn't seem to be lying.
"Wait a moment."
The Shaman turned around and took out a piece of fire crystal, handing it to Shao Xuan, "You absorb it, let me see."
Shao Xuan didn't say much. He took the fire crystal and began to absorb it.
Others couldn't see the energy of the fire crystal when Shao Xuan absorbed it, but the Shaman could see a little. Although it wasn't clear, those energy lines were real!
How could it be?!
The Shaman was puzzled.
Shao Xuan told the secret in the hope that the Shaman could answer some of his doubts. He didn't know much about the special power in his body, so he needed the Shaman to explain. But unexpectedly, the Shaman didn't know the answer.
Seeing the Shaman lost in thought again, Shao Xuan put the fire crystal in his hand on the stone table in front of the Shaman.
Shao Xuan's action brought the Shaman back to reality. He looked at the fire crystal in front of him, which was as big as a quail egg, and then at Shao Xuan. He wanted to see some reluctance, dissatisfaction, or greed in Shao Xuan's eyes. After all, the biggest contributor was still Shao Xuan. According to the distribution, Shao Xuan should get the most benefits. But in fact, Shao Xuan didn't get much.
However, the Shaman found that Shao Xuan's eyes were very calm. There was no reluctance, no greed, and no dissatisfaction with the distribution of the fire crystal.
What a state of mind!!
The Shaman was moved. For the tribe, Xuan was wronged!
"Take this fire crystal." The Shaman said.
"No need." Seeing the Shaman's guilty face, Shao Xuan said, "How about a smaller one? This one is too big. If I lose it, it will be a big loss."
A rice-sized fire crystal could last for several days. There was no need to use such a big one. Moreover, they didn't usually use it in the tribe. They only used it when hunting, but they didn't need so many.
The Shaman felt that Shao Xuan was actually a person of noble character. He was not greedy for merit, he was not greedy, everything he did was for the tribe. Thinking of this, he said to Shao Xuan in an even more amiable manner, "Take it."
"Alright." Shao Xuan took back the Fire Crystal the size of a quail egg and said, "Actually, the Fire Crystal doesn't have much effect on me. I won't improve even if I absorb it."
The shaman was speechless.
Shao Xuan wasn't lying. The energy of the Fire Crystals didn't affect him as much as the others. Others would have an obvious improvement after absorbing the Fire Crystals, but Shao Xuan didn't seem to have any other benefits other than having a better spirit and a faster recovery of physical strength.
He had absorbed more than half of the small piece of fire crystal that he had used as an experiment. This time, he had absorbed a lot of energy from the fire crystals by the fire pit with the others. He had absorbed more energy than the other warriors, but the totem patterns on his arms did not extend.
Coming out from the Shaman's place, Shao Xuan had several animal skin scrolls in his hands. They were empty scrolls used to make Wu Roll.
After talking about the Fire Crystals, the Shaman showed Shao Xuan some ancient scrolls. They were all drawn by the Shaman in the past. Among them, there was a Wu Roll about hunting dogs drawn by the ancestors.
The Shaman was like this. The more you showed your ability, the more help he would give you. As long as it was beneficial to the tribe, he would open the door to help you.
In the past, the Shaman might not have shown these early Wu Roll scrolls to Shao Xuan. After all, they involved some secrets of the tribe, and before the time was right, the Shaman didn't want to let others know about these secrets. But now, the Shaman changed his mind.
The ancient scrolls drawn by the ancestors were well kept by the Shaman. After thousands of years, the ancient scrolls were not damaged much. However, these ancient scrolls couldn't be taken out. They could only be read at the Shaman's place.
Shao Xuan first skimmed through the ancient scrolls, and then picked the one about hunting dogs and carefully read it.
After going down the mountain in the afternoon, Shao Xuan locked himself in the room and began to draw on the empty scroll with a pen. He copied down what he had seen in the ancient scrolls.
When he was still in the cave, Shao Xuan had seen pictures of hunting warriors with hunting dogs from the murals in the stone room. But he didn't have a clear idea. After all, this was a new world. Anything that looked normal might hide many secrets that others didn't know.
But this time, after reading the ancient scrolls, Shao Xuan also found that the ancestors had different requirements for hunting dogs.
According to what was written in the ancient scroll, the ancestors would select a group of healthy, strong, and clever puppies when the hounds were still young. Then, they would undergo strict training. During the training, some puppies might die, and the last ones who survived would go through the second round of selection.
The hunting dogs raised by the ancestors were divided into ordinary hunting dogs and accompanying hunting dogs. The ordinary hunting dogs were the ones that were left behind after training. They would usually participate in hunting or defense, but they were not truly recognized by the tribe and were not passed down by the tribe.
Accompanying hunting dogs were different. They were carefully selected, and they had enough strength and loyalty. They were recognized by the whole tribe, and the Shaman engraved the tribe's totem on them. From then on, they would become a member of the tribe. They could also participate in the sacrifice. They could absorb the totem power from the fire totem like others, and they would be much stronger than ordinary hunting dogs.
However, this engraving only existed in their generation. The pups of accompanying hunting dogs were still like ordinary hunting dogs. They had to go through training and selection to be recognized. But generally speaking, the offspring of accompanying hunting dogs were very good.
As for the engraving secret skill, only the tribe's Shaman could master it, because it needed the power of inheritance.
When Shao Xuan was reading the ancient scrolls at the Shaman's place, the Shaman said that if Shao Xuan wanted to try, he would find all the ancient scrolls about this. After all, now it seemed that Caesar already met the requirements of engraving.
"The engraving secret skill is very complicated, and it can't be mastered in a short time."
This was what the Shaman said when Shao Xuan left.
Shao Xuan understood what the Shaman meant. The Shaman just didn't want Shao Xuan to be too impatient. If he tried to engrave before fully mastering the skill, not only would the engraving fail, but Caesar might also die. According to the Shaman Volume, there was a chance of success when the secret engraving skill was used. Among the ten selected hounds, only half of them succeeded in engraving the engraving skill.
It was very risky.
Even the current Shaman had never tried the engraving secret skill. After all, there was no animal in the tribe that he could try it on.
Shao Xuan had to think carefully about what to do. It was up to him to make the choice, and the Shaman wouldn't interfere.
Since there was such a big risk, Shao Xuan naturally wouldn't treat it lightly. He had to study the so-called engraving secret skill first.
Looking at Caesar, who was lying at his feet and yawning, Shao Xuan sighed in his heart. Caesar was just a wild animal, not at the level of a ferocious beast. In the forest, he couldn't compare to the alpha wolf in the pack. This was determined by his innate condition, and had nothing to do with Caesar himself. It wasn't possible to become a ferocious beast from an ordinary wild animal overnight. Just like the bats in the bat cave, every one of them had to step on a mountain of corpses to become a ferocious beast.
In such a big environment, ordinary wild animals couldn't survive for long in the forest. Even the people in the tribe had to work hard to become stronger.
Whether it was humans or beasts, they all tried to swim up the pyramid, leaving behind countless corpses on every floor.
"Alas, we can only take it slow." Shao Xuan sighed as he looked at Caesar, who was still yawning slowly.
Every day, Shao Xuan copied the ancient scrolls he read at the Shaman's place onto a new animal skin roll. Then he studied them carefully and used the power of inheritance according to the instructions in the scrolls.
The Shaman also took out all the ancient scrolls related to the engraving secret skill and showed them to Shao Xuan.
Except when he went out to hunt, Shao Xuan continued to copy the ancient scrolls as long as he stayed in the tribe.
In Shao Xuan's room, he had finished copying more than ten animal skin rolls. This was the result of many times of copying.
While Shao Xuan was copying these ancient scrolls, many people came to him.
Since the people in the tribe had the idea of raising wild animals, every time the hunting team came back, there would be people coming to ask about it.
For example, Mo Er came to Shao Xuan's room one day.
Mo Er wanted to ask about the Shao Xuan's methods of raising and training, but no one had any experience in this field. It seemed simple, but many people kept raising them until they died.
Shao Xuan looked at the cub in Mo Er's hand and raised his eyebrows.
"Cave lion?"
This cub was not easy to find. Cave lions were quite ferocious, and most of them would grow up to be ferocious beasts. Even wolves would not dare to provoke them. Mo Er wondered what would happen to this cub.
According to Mo Er, on their hunting route, a cave bear fought with a cave lion in a mountain. The cave lion lost, and the cub in the cave was bitten to death. When the hunting team went there, there was only one cub left. So Mo Er brought it back and wanted to try raising it himself.
Shao Xuan had no experience in raising a cave lion. At first, he treated Caesar as a dog, but in the end, he still had the ferocious nature of a wolf. Fortunately, Caesar could control it. As for Mo Er's cave lion, Shao Xuan could only tell him some general things to pay attention to. As for how to raise it, it was up to Mo Er.
This kind of ferocious beast had to be guarded at all times, and could not be allowed to get out of control. If something went wrong, the people in the tribe would kill it first.
Even though they knew it would be troublesome to raise it, many people still tried.
Not only Mo Er, but in the next few hunting missions, every time someone brought back a wolf cub similar to the one Caesar had when he first arrived. Some people also brought back other animals.
Some people vowed to raise them, but in the end, they ended up in the pot or in the stomach. But there were still a few people who insisted, and most of them were young warriors like Mo Er.
During the winter, Shao Xuan had demonstrated the ability of flying animals like Chacha to everyone. At the beginning of this year, Caesar had been recognized by the tribe. This had also given the group of young warriors a new direction to take.
Shao Xuan was now the first person in the tribe who raised animals and was recognized by the Shaman. So every time someone brought back a cub, they would run to him to ask about it.
Especially Mao, it was understandable for others to catch wolves, tigers, leopards, lions, etc. In the tribe, these ferocious carnivorous beasts were the most satisfying. But why did Mao bring back a wild boar cub?
No, it was not a wild boar, but more like a deer dolphin!
