The horn that Duo Kang carried with him was a gift from a small tribesman who lived in the forest when the tribe first arrived here a few hundred years ago. The tribesmen were skilled in crafting, and they were good at making things out of beast horns and bones, including horns. In this field, even the slave masters might not be able to compete with them.
The one who received the gift was the leader of the hunting team in the Yanjiao tribe. Because the horn sound was very strange, it sounded like the roar of a very powerful predator in the forest, so it was not used often. Someone once said that this kind of horn sound could scare away many beasts in the forest.
Although the horn was not big, it was made of excellent quality. Hundreds of years had passed, except for some scratches, there was no other damage on it. That was because there were other wooden or leather whistles that worked during hunting. Later on, this horn was specially used to signal an emergency, especially when it was a big event related to the tribe. The horn was passed down from one hunting team leader to another.
Since Duo Kang took over as the leader of the hunting team, the tribe was relatively peaceful. Even if there were some small problems, they would be solved by the warriors in time. There were no big problems that affected the tribe, so the horn was not used. But now, he took out this horn.
Woo —
The palm-sized black horn suddenly made a sound like the roar of a beast in the forest, and the sound broke the peaceful atmosphere of the tribe.
After the group hunting, many people were busy dealing with the prey they had hunted. When they heard the sound of the horn, most of them didn't realize what was going on. Only some of the older ones, who had experienced the previous hunting team leader blowing the horn, reacted when they heard the sound of the horn.
They had not heard it for many years, and now that they heard it for the first time, they felt a sense of disbelief. They wondered if their ears were playing tricks on them. But when they saw the serious faces of the others, and some were so scared that their faces turned pale, they knew that it was not their imagination. It was indeed the special horn that belonged to the hunting team leader. It sounded again.
In the past, when this kind of horn sound appeared, it usually meant a fight or a massacre.
The young warriors and children were a little confused, but the elders did not hesitate to stop what they were doing. They asked everyone to put aside what they were doing for the time being. There might be a huge crisis in the tribe. Only this kind of big thing that concerned the whole tribe would make the team leader blow the horn. As for other reasons, they could not think of.
The people on the mountain had similar reactions, especially the Chief, the Shaman, and a few prestigious people in the tribe. At this moment, their faces all changed.
"What's going on? Did Duo Kang blow the horn?! "The leader ran out of the house and asked.
"I don't know. It came from the foot of the mountain."
"Let's go!"
Some people dropped their bowls and ran over after eating two mouthfuls of food. Some people rushed over in the middle of going to the toilet. The shamaness, who had just discussed with the leader, was not a combatant. She was old and it was not good for her to run around, so she stayed on the mountain.
One figure after another ran down the mountain. The other residents of the tribe, the elderly and the children who were not strong enough to fight, all ran into the house to hide. Even the naughtiest child ran into the house obediently, while the warriors picked up the weapons in their hands. In just two or three breaths, the atmosphere of the tribe changed. They were ready for battle.
The ferocious beasts in the animal pens, big and small, were trembling. They had no choice. The Yanjiao people were too scary when they were ready for battle!
Although the Yanjiao tribe was on a large mountain, with the strength of the Chief and Guang Yi, it did not take long for them to get to Duo Kang's location from the mountain.
At first, the people who had hurried over from the mountains had thought that it was an invasion by other tribes or a powerful fearsome beast. However, when they arrived, they did not see a single fearsome beast. The dinosaur buried its head in the ground in the animal pen was completely ignored. Looking around, there were no other tribesmen around except for a few young people who were standing there in a daze. Usually, when something big happened to the tribe, it would be on a larger scale. However, the situation here was completely different from what they had imagined.
"Duo Kang, what happened?!" Chief Zheng Luo looked around and asked.
The others who arrived were also confused. The first thing they did when they arrived was to look for beasts. When they did not find any, they looked for people from other tribes. Their eyes lingered on Zhui and Tao Zheng for a while, asking what happened. But the two of them did not know anything. They did not understand Duo Kang's actions at all. It was the first time they had even heard of the horn. They only knew about the horn. When they were young, they heard about it from their elders. They even dreamed about taking the horn when they competed for the position of leader of the hunting team. But when they saw Duo Kang blow the horn with their own eyes, they were so shocked their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Actually, when Duo Kang was blowing the horn, he didn't think that such a misunderstanding would occur. At that time, he didn't have time to think about anything else. When he heard the chief's question, he came back to his senses. However, he didn't answer. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed.
Chief Zheng Luo looked in the direction Duo Kang was pointing and frowned. There was an unfamiliar young man standing there, but he could feel the Yanjiao aura on him. He was from their tribe, not an enemy. Just as he was about to ask Duo Kang what the problem was, Zheng Luo's eyes widened in disbelief. He quickly walked over to Shao Xuan and looked closely at the bone necklace Shao Xuan was wearing. The most important thing was the bright red ball on the necklace.
Seeing the ball, even the usually calm Chief Zheng Luo's breathing quickened.
"You …" Zheng Luo's voice trembled uncontrollably. "You …"
Shao Xuan looked at the man in front of him. He was so emotional that he could not speak properly. He grinned. "Do you remember the Yanjiao tribe in the Fearsome Beast Forest?"
Many people did not understand. Where was the Fearsome Beast Forest? Weren't there many fearsome beasts in the forest? Which forest were they talking about?
But as the chief, Zheng Luo knew very well. Because of this, Zheng Luo's thoughts were confirmed.
"You … You come with me!" Zheng Luo did not say much. He urgently needed the shamaness to confirm it again. Although he was leaning towards that guess, it had been nearly a thousand years. His ancestors had not met this person for generations, but now he had suddenly appeared in front of them without warning. No one could believe it at once.
Zheng Luo did not care about the others. He dragged Shao Xuan up the mountain and ran away in a flash. Everyone was left in a daze. They were confused by their chief and leader's huge reaction. What was going on? Was there still danger? Should the people who had gathered here disperse?
Duo Kang, who had regained his senses, quickly followed behind. He didn't care about the other people's questions. He didn't have the time to talk to these people. Moreover, without the Shaman's permission, he couldn't tell them anything. He just asked the people who had gathered to disperse and then rushed up the mountain.
Others may not know about the bone necklace, but Duo Kang remembered it clearly. After all, when he took over as the leader of the hunting group, he had touched the box and made a vow. It belonged to the ancestors. He had been told the story of the bone necklace.
The shaman, who had been sitting on the mountain, looked worried. She had a feeling that something was going to happen, but it did not seem like a disaster. What was it?
Hearing the commotion, the shamaness looked up and saw the usually calm Zheng Luo hurriedly pulling a young man over like the wind. Ever since Zheng Luo took over as the chief, the shaman had never seen him so anxious.
"What's wrong …" The shaman got up. Before she could finish, she looked at the bone necklace around Shao Xuan's neck. She exclaimed, "The Elder's Bone Necklace?!"
There was no mistake, it was the Elder's Bone Necklace!
She had three bone ornaments in her hands, but they were all dim and lifeless, as if they were in a deep sleep. In the past, the voodoo puppets all felt that their ancestors were disappointed in their actions. Many voodoo puppets left with guilt in their hearts. But now, the strange young man standing in front of them was wearing an elder's bone ornament. The ball in the elder's bone ornament was the fiery red bead in the stories left behind by their ancestors. It was the same bead that carried a totemic flame!
