In the winter, the seven beasts that had been successfully engraved by the Shaman had gradually begun to change their shape and appearance.
Although the Shaman had reminded them to prepare more food before the winter, the seven beasts had grown up and their appetites had become bigger. The food still could not satisfy them. After all, with the increase of their level, the energy they needed would also change. It was just like the intermediate and senior totem warriors were not interested in the meat of ordinary beasts, because the meat could not satisfy their hunger.
Until the end of the winter, each of the beasts looked like Caesar when he had just been engraved. The originally fat beasts had become very skinny. Even the fat on Si Ya's body was worn down.
After the winter, as in previous years, it was the most important sacrificial ceremony in the whole tribe.
According to the records passed down by the ancestors, the beasts that had been successfully engraved could participate in the sacrificial ceremony, and the fire would no longer reject them.
Therefore, on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, except for Chacha, the other eight beasts were brought to the top of the mountain and stood beside the fire pit.
Participating in the sacrificial ceremony meant that they had officially become members of the tribe.
This was a very strange scene. It could even be said that this was the only time in hundreds of years that people and accompanying beasts had participated in the sacrificial ceremony together.
Everyone was very excited, because they were luckier than the ancestors to be able to witness such a scene with their own eyes!
After the ceremony, the Shaman recorded it in detail in the form of Wu Roll. This was also one of his great achievements since he became the Shaman. It was something that could be passed down from generation to generation. It was worth remembering.
In contrast, Chacha, who was left at home and needed to avoid the fire of the fire, looked more bleak. Although its appetite was not reduced, its spirit was not as good as before.
After the sacrificial ceremony, the coldness of winter gradually disappeared. From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it became lively.
A few days before the first hunting, several beasts that had been engraved would often go down the mountain for a walk.
When they were young, they were often bullied by Chacha. Except for the falcon in Guigou's hand and the turtle in Gui Ze's place, all of them were caught by Chacha several times in the air.
Now that they had become ferocious beasts or were close to becoming ferocious beasts, they were naturally not afraid of the Chacha. If not for the fact that the Chacha could fly, they would have probably retaliated.
Fortunately, Caesar protected her and did not allow those few to tease the Chacha.
It was reasonable to say that Caesar was completely inferior to the others when they were all wild beasts. Even in the large wolf species, they were a relatively weak subgroup and were not as fierce as the others.
But in fact, after the engraving was completed and he grew into a ferocious beast, Caesar's growth was much better than that of the other seven. Neither the cave lion Chi nor Mao dared to provoke Caesar.
Chacha continued to squat in its nest as it watched the minions that it had once bullied become stronger one by one.
Seeing this situation, Shao Xuan was helpless.
When the Shaman had almost finished teaching this batch of newly awakened warriors, Shao Xuan went up the mountain again to have a good chat with the Shaman.
"I plan to take Chacha to have a look over there during this hunting trip." Shao Xuan sat opposite the Shaman and said.
The Shaman understood what Shao Xuan meant by "over there", so he remained silent. After a while, he went to the inner room and took out an animal skin roll. He handed it to Shao Xuan and said, "This is recorded in the ancient scroll left by our ancestors."
After Shao Xuan told the Shaman about Chacha last year, the Shaman carefully read the ancient scroll and extracted some relevant records.
Shao Xuan took the animal skin roll and looked at the written records.
These were only ordinary written records, and obviously, they were retold by others. The description was a little vague.
It also mentioned the "Severing Land" that Mai had mentioned.
When the ancestors opened up the hunting route, they were blocked by a thorny plant and could not go any further. However, when they stood at a high place, they could vaguely see the mountains in the distance, but because of the plant in the middle, they could not go any further.
Therefore, the ancestors called that place the "Severing Land". It cut off the road between the mountains and prevented anyone from entering.
However, there were also some interesting things mentioned in the scroll.
The Shaman said that Chacha was a Giant Mountain Eagle, and the Giant Mountain Eagles had their own belief and source of power. Shao Xuan did not know much about it before, so this animal skin roll had some information.
It was said that the Giant Mountain Eagle's power came from the Snow Abyss. It was a huge mountain covered in ice and snow all year round, so people called it the Eagle Mountain.
Chief Ao once said that the Giant Mountain Eagles came from the Eagle Mountain, but now it seemed that it was not true. The Eagle Mountain was the source of their power. As for whether it was the place where they were born, no one knew.
A long time ago, the ancestors had only heard about the legends of the Giant Mountain Eagles, but had never seen them with their own eyes. Some people said that the Eagle Mountain was the eagle's graveyard, while others said that the Eagle Mountain was the eagle's birthplace.
There was not much information on the animal skin roll, so Shao Xuan finished reading it quickly.
"Is the place where Chacha wants to go to the Eagle Mountain?" Shao Xuan was puzzled.
"Maybe." The Shaman said.
After thinking for a while, Shao Xuan said, "I still want to go with it."
The Shaman looked at Shao Xuan and was silent for a while. Then he said, "It's very dangerous. You may not be able to come back. "
"I know." Shao Xuan had made up his mind, so he would not change it. "I'll have to trouble you to talk to Uncle Mai."
The Shaman did not try to persuade him again. He just sighed.
Knowing that the Shaman agreed with his decision, Shao Xuan grinned and bowed. "Don't worry, I'll come back safely."
The Shaman felt his eyelids twitch. He waved his hand helplessly and signaled Shao Xuan to go out.
It was the first hunt of the year, and there were several ferocious beasts in the team. Whether it was Ta or the five team leaders, they all wanted to perform well.
Mai was excitedly discussing the upcoming hunt with Qiao when he heard the news brought by Shao Xuan.
"You want to go to the Severing Land?"
Mai's facial muscles twitched, and he said it word by word. He took a few deep breaths and clenched his fists. He wanted to beat up the person in front of him.
He knew that Shao Xuan was not a person who would give up easily. Last year's promise was nothing!
This time, he directly asked the Shaman for help, and the Shaman agreed. What else could they say?!
"No, it should be the mountain range on the other side of the Severing Land. It could be somewhere else. I just want to have a look and see why Chacha always wants to go there." Shao Xuan explained.
It would have been better if he did not explain. Once he explained, Qiaomai and his wife became more worried.
They admired the warriors' fearless spirit, but it did not mean that they liked to see such suicidal things. Even their ancestors did not want to go there. How could Shao Xuan, who was not even a mid-level totem warrior, come back?
How annoying! How annoying!
However, this matter was not made public. It was not until the hunting group went out from the first hunting area to the third hunting area that they knew about it.
"The Severing Land?! You can't go there! "
"Xuan, listen to Mai. Don't go there."
"You can't come back if you go there. Really, don't go there. If Chacha really wants to go there, he can just fly there himself. Why do you have to follow him?"
Everyone in the hunting group tried to persuade Shao Xuan. After years of living together, they had become closer to Shao Xuan. They also thought highly of Shao Xuan, a new warrior. What was more, Shao Xuan was born in a cave near the mountain foot area, but he was not inferior to those people in the mountain. This made them feel proud and proud.
In the eyes of many old warriors in the mountain foot area, Shao Xuan's future achievements would not be inferior to those people in the mountain. In the future, he might even live in the mountain. Many of them often used Shao Xuan to encourage their children. For example, Sai's father. Every time he saw that Sai was not doing well, he would use Shao Xuan to criticize him. So, until now, Sai had never looked at Shao Xuan in a good way.
But now, Shao Xuan wanted to go to the place that even their ancestors did not want to go. Wasn't he looking for death?!
Unfortunately, persuasion was useless.
How could the Shaman agree?
No one could understand.
But since the Shaman agreed, they did not insist on persuading him.
Mai called Shao Xuan alone to talk, and gave some good stone spearheads to Shao Xuan.
"Uncle Mai, if I still don't come back in six days, don't wait for me." Shao Xuan said.
Mai wanted to say something, but stopped. In the end, he nodded.
Shao Xuan did not plan to take Caesar with him this time. He told Old Ke about this matter. If he could come back, it would be fine. If not, Old Ke still had Caesar to accompany him.
The day before the hunting trip, Shao Xuan did not take Caesar with him. Instead, he left Caesar in the tribe. When Shao Xuan left, Caesar still followed him for some distance. After being scolded by Shao Xuan, Caesar reluctantly stopped.
After saying goodbye to the hunting group, Shao Xuan called Chacha. Then, holding Chacha's feet, he was carried by Chacha and left through the air. The forest ahead was not easy to pass, and the road was not easy to walk on. It was also time-consuming. But it was different in the air. There were not many large birds in the area ahead.
When Chacha stood on the ground, he was slightly taller than Shao Xuan's shoulder. Therefore, it was not too difficult for him to carry Shao Xuan.
After flying through the forest, Shao Xuan found that there were fewer animals in the forest.
Half a day later, Shao Xuan saw the "Severing Land" mentioned in the ancient scroll.
It was an expanse of brambles that were the color of rust. Brambles that were thick like water tanks and brambles that were covered in hard thorns that were like the tips of blades interweaved together, causing one to shrink back at the sight of it. It was like a terrifying forest that practically obstructed everything.
In the gaps of the thorns near the ground, there were some small but dangerous creatures. Their blood-red eyes were like evil spirits, staring at every creature that flew over the thorns.
Even the ferocious beasts in other parts of the forest would not set foot here.
Looking at the endless brambles in front of him, and then looking at the quickly flashing figures in the gaps of the brambles, Shao Xuan decided to take a rest first. He would wait for Chacha to accumulate his strength before flying over.
