After passing through a plain, the team finally saw the endless green area in the distance.
At the border of the sky and the earth, there was a long stretch of green.
Farther away, there were some tall mountains.
Before they walked in, the tribal warriors' eyes lit up. The familiar feeling made their bodies instantly enter a state of excitement, as if they were back to the dangerous mountain forest on the other side of the river. It was the kind of feeling that made one's hair stand on end. It was not fear, but excitement that made one want to tremble.
Of course, they were so excited because of the fire seed.
As they got closer and closer to the old place, the totem power in the warriors' bodies was also surging, as if it was going to rush out.
"Is that the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest?" The people in the team looked at the green area in the distance with mixed feelings. The Yanjiao people were excited, but the wanderers were worried and confused.
Thud!
Thud — Thud —
It began to rain, and the rain quickly turned from light to heavy. Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky.
The dry ground was covered with dust because of the falling raindrops, and the smell of soil was everywhere.
The sky quickly became gloomy, and the dark clouds were like a giant hand that was about to hit directly. In the eyes of the wanderers, the green area in the distance was like a big mouth full of sharp teeth, waiting for the prey to come to the door.
Looking up, they saw the thick clouds as if they were going to suffocate them. In front of them was the famous Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest. The washing of the rain extinguished the fire in the hearts of some wanderers, but they still stood there, just because of the anger in their hearts. They did not want to retreat or go back.
The team had become solemn at some point.
The discussion and laughter had already stopped.
The mood of the wanderers was also affected by the solemn atmosphere, and the anxiety in their hearts was miraculously calmed down.
At this time, as long as they could walk, they got off the car, including those who were sick, disabled, and old. They were helped down by others.
The Shaman waved his hand, refused Gui Ze's help, and jumped out of the car. He was wearing the new leather boots that were sewn during the rainy season this year. The gray fur turned into mud the moment it landed.
The Shaman looked at the mountain forest with deep eyes.
After nearly a thousand years, how many generations had passed? Finally, they came back here. But the people who came back were not the same as before.
"Let's go," Wu said.
The Ferocious Beasts Mountain Forest was very large. The route taken by the Yanjiao team was not in the direction of the Wan Shi tribe. There was still some distance between here and the Wan Shi tribe, so they didn't see anyone from the Wan Shi tribe.
There was no need for Shao Xuan to lead the way. Every Yanjiao tribesman could rely on their intuition to find the right direction.
Stepping into the forest, the sound of the rain hitting the leaves covered the sounds of the surrounding creatures. The various smells in the air were washed away by the rain again and again.
The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping. In the rain, visibility was reduced. Many people couldn't see the situation in the forest in the distance, but it didn't matter. They just had to follow the people in front of them.
Inside the carriage where the fire seed was placed, the faint barrier around the fire pit had been removed by the Shaman.
The deterrence of the Fire Seed immediately spread throughout the forest.
Tap — tap — tap — tap — tap —
On the soft ground piled up with countless insects' bodies, leaves, and dust, the warriors carried their animal skin bags and carried their weapons, walking in the muddy forest. Every step they took, they left a deep footprint on the ground.
The rain from the sky rushed through the dense leaves and dripped to the ground. Soon the footprints were filled with water.
Unless they couldn't keep up with the pace and couldn't feel well, the tribesmen would continue to walk in the team. Some children were led by their parents, and with every step they took, all sorts of rotting substances and mud on the ground would rub their ankles. Fortunately, the boots were long, and even some of the worms in the mud would only bite on the skin.
They used their knives to cut off the thin insects with suckers on their feet and continued to walk forward.
In the forest, there were many wild animals and ferocious beasts. Even with the deterrence of the Fire Seed, they couldn't completely avoid them. Those bold and fearless beasts in the forest could suddenly come out from the dense forest at any time.
Behind the luxuriant trees, in the caves on the mountainside, lurking in the swamps, and so on, there were cold and bloodthirsty eyes staring at the team that suddenly entered the forest. In the past, if it were other people who entered the forest, they definitely wouldn't miss this delicious meal. However, this team was too special.
There was the Fire Seed that they were afraid of, ferocious beasts like them, and a group of totem warriors with great strength. The smart ferocious beasts hid and continued to watch. Those that rushed out were looking for death.
The swinging of the beast's tail brought up rainwater that swept around like bullets, but was blocked by the warriors in the tribe who guarded around the team. The people in the advance group went to deal with the ferocious beasts that rushed out.
In the forest, except for the roars of the ferocious beasts, the other warriors didn't speak.
The silent killing was unprecedentedly violent and ferocious. The splashing blood of the beasts mixed with the rainwater and dripped on the ground, dying the path that everyone walked on red and filling up every dent in the footprints.
No one in the team made a sound, nor did they stop. When the ferocious beasts rushed out, naturally there would be people to resist them. What they had to do was to continue to walk in that direction.
If the wanderers who followed them didn't want to be left behind, they would probably fall to the ground and their legs would be soft. Maybe because of the heavy and solemn atmosphere in the team, when they saw the ferocious beasts rushing out of the forest, they wanted to scream, but they couldn't make a sound, as if they were strangled by the neck.
The silent group unswervingly walked in that direction, as if they were on a pilgrimage.
Shao Xuan put away his knife and didn't care about the ferocious beast that had been cut down on the ground. The other warriors also didn't care about it. They were like sacrifices, the sacrifices that the Yanjiao tribe returned to the old land.
The heavy rain lasted for a long time. Shao Xuan had already cut down more than ten ferocious beasts with the other warriors.
Fortunately, they were not in the depths of the Ferocious Beast Forest. There were few ferocious beasts here, and they were not particularly powerful.
Shao Xuan threw his animal skin coat on the car, bare-chested, and let the rain wash over his body.
There were many people who did the same as Shao Xuan. Everyone had the same totem pattern on their bodies. It was unknown when the totem pattern appeared on every awakened warrior's body, and on the wanderers of the tribe, there were also faint patterns.
At the same time, in the old land of the Yanjiao tribe.
A team of the Wan Shi tribe was resting there. Every once in a while, a team from their tribe would come here. This was the Shaman's idea. The chief didn't agree before, but after being persuaded by the Shaman several times, he finally agreed. But the chief no longer led the team himself.
Now the people of the Wan Shi tribe had no fear of this ruined land. The more they came here, the braver they became.
They didn't find a place to hide from the rain, so they just stayed here and waited for the rain to stop before going back.
A group of people used the stones of the ruins as stools, and some people directly sat on the collapsed stone pillar that had been cut into several pieces. They talked and laughed, and when they were bored, they poked the carved patterns on the stone pillar with their stone knives.
"Ah, the rain seems to be lighter." Someone said.
"Is it going to stop?"
The thick clouds in the sky were quickly dispersing. Yang Guang's light shone through the clouds, dazzling their eyes.
The rain hadn't completely stopped, but it seemed that it would stop soon.
Just as they were laughing, everyone suddenly heard a crackling sound. It sounded like the sound of burning firewood in a bonfire.
Someone lit the bonfire at this time?
A man of the Wan Shi tribe pointed to a direction with a frightened face.
"Fire! There's fire! "
The others looked in the direction he pointed. They saw a spark-like light spot in the middle of the pit that had been dug. Then, with the light spot as the center, six fire lines extended outwards.
A huge sense of panic struck their hearts.
Looking at the fire lines on the ground that were about to spread to his feet, a warrior of the Wan Shi tribe turned around and ran, shouting, "Go back, go back to the tribe quickly!"
Before the rain stopped completely, they ran away in a panic. They suddenly remembered those who were almost killed in the beginning.
Leave, leave here! In panic, they even felt that the raindrops were like poisonous insects biting them.
