Not long after the Wanshi people left, the Yanjiao people came to this place.
However, the boundary stones engraved with patterns that had once been placed there were either no longer in their original places, or they had been smashed and hacked. The damage was quite serious, and there were even traces of burning.
It was most likely done by the Wanshi people.
Looking up, they didn't see the tall stone pillar above the forest.
Shao Xuan suddenly had an ominous feeling.
He was afraid that the fire pit was also in trouble.
Not only Shao Xuan, but the Shaman also had a premonition. His hand holding the walking stick was shaking.
The burning line of fire had already reached the feet of the Yanjiao people.
They didn't feel scared or horrified. They only felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if they had finally found a place to belong.
The totems in their minds were all active and very energetic.
Just stepping on this land made them tremble, as if they were filled with infinite power.
The old place!
This was the old place!
Everyone's eyes were full of expectation.
Almost there, almost there. A few more steps, just a few more steps …
However, when they walked through the forest and came to the ruins, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.
Apart from the natural destruction, the collapsed house had been destroyed twice, thrice, or even more times by man. It was completely deformed. A huge hole had been dug out in the middle of the house. The fallen stone pillar was telling the people who came here what it had experienced.
The entire ruins were filled with desolation.
No matter how bright Yang Guang was, it couldn't dispel the sadness.
"This … this is … the old place?" Ao's voice was unsteady.
How could it be like this?
The Yanjiao people were a little confused when they saw this scene.
The Shaman hurried a few steps forward, as if he wanted to get closer and see the situation more clearly. His footsteps were somewhat staggered, and his hand that was holding the walking stick tightly clenched. The bulging meridians on the back of his hand throbbed, and because of the various emotions that arose from seeing this scene, his body could not help but tremble.
How many years had it been? The ancestors of Yanjiao had waited for so many years to come back. They didn't expect to see such a scene.
In addition to anger, there was also deep sorrow.
Staring at the shattered stones, the shaman felt like his eyes were being pricked by needles.
When Shao Xuan returned from this place, he had drawn the situation of the old haunt on a Wu Roll and showed it to the shaman. Therefore, in the whole tribe, other than Shao Xuan, the Shaman was the most familiar with the old place. The Shaman knew exactly where the house was, where the stone pillars were, and where the fire pit was.
Two years ago, although this place was still in ruins, with the desolation and desolation of a hero past his prime, it was far from being as dilapidated as it was now.
Even the fire pit had been dug out!
How preposterous! What a bastard!
He raised his hand that was as old as tree bark and gently pressed it against his chest.
Pain!
It was a pain that he had never experienced before!
From the day he was born, to the day he took over the position of a shaman, until now, the old man had never felt this way. There wasn't a single drop of blood, but the pain reached all the way to the bone.
The old man was too emotional. Shao Xuan was worried that the shaman would suffer too much, so he hurried over to support him.
Seeing the shaman's eyes fixed on the collapsed stone pillar that had been chopped into pieces, Shao Xuan said, "Now that we're back, let's build a taller one. I still remember the patterns carved on the stone pillars. When the time comes, we'll copy the patterns of our ancestors."
Of course, these words were only a little comforting. The important thing was that this place had been destroyed again and again. Even if ninety percent of these things were deducted, it was enough to start a tribal war. This was a provocation, a trampling on the tribe's totem. How could the people of the Yanjiao tribe tolerate this?
Ao clenched his fists in anger, and unrestrained anger radiated from this tribal chief.
"Who?! Who did this?! Come out! "
Several roars, like cannonballs exploding, exploded in this forest, frightening many birds and animals.
After calming down, Ao's mind became more flexible, and soon he thought of the person who might have caused all this. Shao Xuan had told them about the situation and what had happened here.
The Wan Shi tribe!
Ao gritted his teeth as he stroked the engraved stones.
As a person who had been exposed to stone tools since childhood, he already knew the marks on the stone tools. Only a small part of the marks on the stone were made a long time ago, and the rest, half of them were made between one to two years ago. The other half was very new, very new. The time when the carver carved the stone must have been before their arrival.
There were many traces of human activities around, which showed that the people who destroyed their old haunt had just left.
Stroking the stone, the sadness in Ao's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a rapidly accumulated fierce light, and his eyes became red with anger.
"They haven't gone far!"
"I'll go after them!" Ta couldn't help but say.
"I'll go too. Snow can help us find those people." Guigou said.
Snow was Guigou's white falcon, which played a great role in scouting and finding prey.
"Take the others with you. They have a keen sense of smell." Shao Xuan said. Now that the rain had stopped, the smell wouldn't be completely washed away by the rain.
Ao stood up, looked at the angry Yanjiao people behind him, and then turned his eyes to the Shaman.
The Shaman didn't say anything. He just moved his hand away from his chest, and then waved it out heavily.
Needless to say, everyone already knew the Shaman's attitude. He let Ao and Shao Xuan do whatever they wanted.
"What about here?" Ao asked.
"Don't worry. This is the old haunt! The old haunt of Yanjiao! "The Shaman's words were like a heavy stone falling on everyone's heart.
Because it was the old haunt, because the fire seed and the fire vein were still there, only the Yanjiao people would be protected.
"Understood." Ao pointed at the ferocious beasts, indicating that they should go. He also pointed at 30 people.
Shao Xuan and Caesar took the lead.
Except for the turtle pulling the fire seed's carriage, the others all left.
Whoosh —
The people pointed at by Ao took off their animal skin bags, picked up their weapons, and quickly swept through the grass, chasing the ferocious beasts.
…
In the forest, the people running met some ferocious beasts, and the originally concentrated group was scattered.
A warrior of Wan Shi was separated from his companions. Because he was too tired, he fell to the ground, his heart beating wildly, and his body trembling. He opened his mouth wide to breathe, and looked back from time to time, his eyes full of fear.
Quack, quack —
The sound came, and the warrior sitting on the ground bounced up from the ground, as if he had been stabbed by a nail, and started to run.
Behind him, five carnivorous birds shouted and chased. They were very fast, and they were very familiar with the forest, running as fast as the people in front of them.
Hearing the approaching footsteps and cries, the running warrior was desperate. He was the only one here. If he fought against the five birds alone, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. He closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, he clenched the knife in his hand, ready to turn around and fight.
"Ah —"
When the Wan Shi warrior turned around and waved his saber, intending to fight desperately, he found that the five carnivorous birds, who had been chasing him, all stopped abruptly, and the muddy water splashed on the Wan Shi warrior's body.
Before the soldiers of Wan Shi attacked, the five birds ran away as if they were running for their lives. They didn't even make a sound.
Wan Shi's soldiers stood there, holding their swords. They stared at the five fleeing figures, panting heavily. Just when he thought he had temporarily saved his life, he heard the tapping sound again. It sounded similar to the footsteps of those carnivorous birds, but this time, it was faster.
Why did those usually arrogant carnivorous birds leave as if they were fleeing? Was it because of him?
An even greater sense of panic struck.
He changed the direction of his escape and ran away from the sound of footsteps.
But this time, the pursuers were much more powerful than the ones before.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Every sound of footsteps behind him was like thunder in his heart. He didn't even look back to see who was chasing him. He just ran away.
In less than two minutes, a bird's head hit the running man like a hoe. The man was knocked down to the ground. There was a bloody hole in the back of his neck, and blood was gushing out.
Mai, who followed closely behind the phorusrhacos, also arrived. No matter whether the man was dead or not, he killed him with his knife.
"Go on!" Mai patted the head of the phorusrhacos and said.
It had planned to chase the birds to have a good meal, but after hearing Mai's words, it had to give up the delicious food for the time being. It was not in a hurry. There would be plenty of time in the future.
Similar scenes were happening everywhere in the forest.
This time, except for Shao Xuan, who was an intermediate totem warrior, the other 30 people were all senior totem warriors.
In the sky, Chacha and the white falcon were flying. In the forest, several ferocious beasts were leading people to chase the people of the Wan Shi tribe. As long as they were still in the forest, Ao would not let any of them go.
At the same time, in the Wan Shi tribe, the Wan Shi Shaman rushed into the room of the Wan Shi chief, Bian, who was having a good time.
"Chief, the fire, the fire seed has changed!"
Seeing the Shaman more panicked than last time, Bian was even more dissatisfied. In the past two years, the Shaman had become nervous. He always felt there was a threat in the forest, but every time he sent people there, they found nothing unusual.
Bian had always thought it was caused by the old guys in the central region who didn't like him, and he was also angry. Now looking at the Shaman, Bian was surprised and doubtful. He planned to take a group of people to have a look. It would be better if they could find some evidence and throw it on the old guys. Didn't they say they wouldn't initiate a war? What about now? It would be better if they could blackmail them.
Bian was not afraid of offending people. Anyway, this was his territory.
He kicked the door open and called people. He planned to take a walk in the forest.
