Although confused, the Shaman did not ask, but continued with his work.
It was not like the scene of a thousand people worshipping the Marquis. Every time there were only about two hundred people in the hunting team. The wounded from the previous hunting team would stay in the tribe to recuperate, and those who had to take care of others, were not in good condition, or had other things to do would not be included in the hunting team. Therefore, even if they were all in the same hunting team, the number of people in each hunting team was not always the same.
After Lang Ga and the others entered the hunting ground, they consciously stood in their usual positions, and Shao Xuan stood beside them.
At the front of the team were several important figures in the hunting team, more than ten of them, including Mai.
The Shaman stood beside the fire pit, with a stone bowl in his hand. In the stone bowl, there were some dark green pigments extracted from plants.
One by one, the warriors walked over and asked the Shaman to draw patterns on their faces.
The patterns were similar to the shape of the totem. The Shaman was murmuring something while drawing, but Shao Xuan could not hear it clearly. Or perhaps, even if he heard it, he would not understand what it meant.
Not everyone in the hunting team could have their faces painted by the Shaman. Only the important figures in the hunting team were qualified to have their faces painted by the Shaman. At this moment, they looked very serious and serious, as if they were performing some kind of sacred ceremony.
Looking at Lang Ga and the others, their eyes were full of envy. They were probably thinking that one day they could stand in front of the team and receive the Shaman's blessing before the hunting team set off.
Although he had other thoughts, Shao Xuan's face was still as serious as the others, with a little bit of envy.
When the ten or so warriors finished painting and returned to the hunting ground, the solemn atmosphere suddenly relaxed. Under the lead of the chief, they began to sing the 'Hunting Song'.
Unfortunately … Shao Xuan did not know how to sing at all!
Shao Xuan had heard the 'Hunting Song' several times, but he could not master it. He also did not know that the hunting team had to sing it together before the hunting team set off.
Damn, it was like not knowing how to sing the national anthem at the flag-raising ceremony. It would be so embarrassing if he said it out loud!
But the problem was that in the tribe, the Song of Hunting was usually taught by parents and elders. Shao Xuan came from the cave, and Xin Zi was not an original, so he had never paid attention to this. Lang Ga and the others also did not think about this aspect, so they all neglected it.
However, Shao Xuan was not a real child after all. He did not know how to play the Song of Hunting, but he knew how to make up the numbers.
Shao Xuan's expression didn't change. He stood there calmly, his mouth opening and closing, but he didn't make a sound. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to tell that he was different from the crowd.
"Since the beginning of the world, our ancestors have been here. When the tribe rose, hunting was the priority. As the spring warmed up, the ice and snow melted. Birds and beasts jumped happily. Birds chirped and beasts roared. Hunters went far away …"
At first, Shao Xuan thought that the Song of Hunting would be over after a few lines, but as he waited, he realized that the song was really f * cking long. It was like a story, from hunting in spring, to summer, to autumn, and finally ending in winter.
Not only was it long, but it also had a f * cking tragic ending!
It was as if they were going to die!
He wondered which "master" in the tribe wrote this song.
Although the song talked a lot about hunting, and warned everyone that hunting in winter was dangerous and they had to be cautious when going out, Shao Xuan didn't feel that it was inspiring. However, the people present were all red in the face and neck, as if they were on steroids. They even sang the totem patterns on their bodies. They couldn't wait to tear apart ferocious beasts on the spot to vent their excitement.
Shao Xuan really couldn't understand the mentality of these people. Perhaps, this was the difference between outsiders and natives.
When Shao Xuan was singing with his mouth open, the Shaman glanced at him several times. Shao Xuan knew, but he still didn't look away. He followed the example of Lang Ga and the others. When others were excited, he was also excited. When others roared with their spears, he also roared with his spear. Didn't Lang Ga say that no matter what he did, Shao Xuan would not make any mistakes?
Standing by the fire pit, the Shaman's old face twitched as he watched. Of course, he could see that Shao Xuan didn't know how to sing the Song of Hunting, but he didn't expect that Shao Xuan could be so thick-skinned. If it were other kids, they would have been terrified.
After singing the Song of Hunting, Shao Xuan felt that the food he ate in the morning was almost used up.
Since the morale had been boosted, the Chief didn't say anything more. He asked the team leader to lead the team and set off immediately. There was a time plan for going out hunting, or there would be more trouble if they missed the timing.
Shao Xuan moved his feet and followed Lang Ga.
Feeling someone was looking at him, Shao Xuan looked over. It was Mao.
Mao was surprised. He did not expect that after Fei's accident in the last hunting mission, they would still allow the newly awakened warriors to join the team in advance. In fact, even the few kids who performed well in the last hunting mission might not be allowed to join the team this time. Obviously, Mao didn't consider himself as one of the "newly awakened warriors".
Shao Xuan glanced at him and ignored him. In case he made any mistakes, he had to follow Lang Ga closely. How could he have time to stare at that little kid?
The hunting team walked down from the top of the mountain. People gathered on both sides of the Path of Glory to see them off. In this team, only Mao and Shao Xuan were among the newly awakened warriors this year. Therefore, the two of them were very conspicuous.
Many people on the mountain were not familiar with Shao Xuan. When they saw the kid walking in the team, they realized that the kid in front of them was the one who was awakened in advance during the ritual ceremony.
Once again, Shao Xuan made his presence known. Even those who didn't remember him last time remembered him. If he could follow the team, he must have the ability to do so. The tribe appreciated people with ability very much.
As they walked down the mountain, they met more and more familiar faces. They waved their fists at Shao Xuan, not because they wanted to beat him, but because they wanted to encourage Shao Xuan.
To Shao Xuan's surprise, the kids in the orphan cave also gathered by the Path of Glory and joined the team to see them off. They waved their little fists at Shao Xuan with envy in their eyes.
At least they had a conscience. He didn't help them for nothing. Shao Xuan thought.
Shao Xuan also saw Sai behind the crowd.
Sai was carried here by his father. He planned to sleep a little longer in the early morning, but he was carried here to see the hunting team off. He was looking at the passing warriors carelessly, but suddenly he stopped yawning and stared at Shao Xuan in the team with his eyes wide open. Then he turned his head stiffly to look at his father.
As expected, when Sai's father saw Shao Xuan in the team, he narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on Sai's hand. He was thinking about how to give Sai more training tasks.
Walking down the Path of Glory, the hunting team sped up. The voices of the crowd gradually faded away until they could no longer be heard.
Shao Xuan carried his equipment and followed closely behind Lang Ga. They were not completely out of the patrol area of the tribe. There was a small piece of flat land in front of them. Once they got out of the flat land, they would be out of the territory of the tribe.
Running on the thick grass, Shao Xuan looked up at the forest on the other side of the flat land.
Clouds and mist rose up like steam, hanging in the air and covering a large part of the forest below. It looked oppressive and heavy. A sharp mountain peak showed a corner above the clouds and mist, like a black eye, overlooking the living beings below.
Before entering the forest, they had already felt the heaviness as if it was going to bury them alive.
Before entering the forest, there was a short rest time, and the leaders would assign tasks.
Shao Xuan took the opportunity to ask Lang Ga, who was arranging the ground bow, "What should I do later?"
"You don't have to think about other things," Lang Ga smiled and said, "Just don't fall behind."
