After the hunting team returned, Shao Xuan told the shaman and chief about what he had seen. He also reminded everyone to prepare in advance.
Now, everything seemed normal. The weather was in line with the characteristics of this season. It was neither hotter nor colder. It seemed to have returned to normal. However, not only the Flaming Horns tribe, but also many other tribes on the continent, after experiencing an unusually difficult winter, the lack of water was very nerve-wracking.
On this mainland, there were many streams, ponds, and small and medium-sized lakes formed from underground water. When the winter ended and the rain came, the weather returned to normal. However, these water sources did not seem to have recovered. Instead, the situation became more serious.
There were not many water sources left. Because of this, the competition for resources broke out again.
Spring was in full bloom. It was supposed to be full of life. However, on this mainland, there was an indescribable panic.
Dried brown blood splattered on the grass by the river. The rancid smell with a residual murderous aura told passersby what had happened here.
As he listened to the news brought back by the expedition team, Shao Xuan and the other leaders of the Flaming Horn tribe remained silent.
After a while, the shaman finally spoke.
"Everything is a sign. We need to prepare in advance." The shaman sighed and walked slowly to the window. He looked up at the blue sky and fluttering clouds outside. "We even need to be prepared to face something similar to what our ancestors encountered a thousand years ago."
The shaman's words shocked everyone in the room. They could no longer sit still. They all jumped up as if they had been pricked.
"What?!"
"Shaman, what do you mean?"
"Do you really think that what's about to happen will be the same as what our ancestors encountered?"
No matter if it was the leader or the leader, none of them could remain calm. All the preparations they had made were based on the hardships they had experienced in the past winter, but they did not think further. But from the Shaman's words, could it be the same as what their ancestors had encountered a thousand years ago? Didn't that mean … it would be devastating?!
Zheng Luo and Duo Kang looked at the old shaman who was sighing in front of the window. They then turned to the old lady who was sitting there silently. "What do you mean?"
The old lady looked up and glanced at Zheng Luo and Duo Kang helplessly. They had known each other for a long time. One look from the old lady was enough for Zheng Luo and Duo Kang to guess what she meant.
At this time, the old lady's reaction was obviously a tacit agreement with the old shaman's words! In other words, she had the same idea!
Shock, fear, panic … all the emotions ran through their minds. All that was left was a blank.
They were familiar with history. Although they did not experience the natural disaster a thousand years ago, they could still understand a little bit from the handwritten notes left behind by their ancestors. Even their powerful ancestors could not avoid it, so what could they do?
A thousand years ago, a natural disaster knocked the Flaming Horn tribe off their glorious throne. What followed was a clash of different ideologies, causing the tribe to split into two. The once glorious Flaming Horn tribe fell into the dust and faded out of sight.
That was the power of heaven and earth. Even the ancestors could not resist it, so how could they?
So what if they knew in advance? Could it be that their ancestors could not foresee it? Even if they could not foresee the specific things, they could at least have a hunch, right? But the result was still the same.
Yanjiao people might fight for other things, but if it was the same natural disaster a thousand years ago, they were afraid.
"What should we do?" Ao clenched his fists and trembled slightly.
What should they do? That was what everyone wanted to know.
Once again, the room fell into a silence that resembled the silent night. The surroundings were filled with a low pressure that made people feel cold. Even when the warm wind from outside the window blew in, it did not improve the atmosphere that had dropped to the freezing point. Everyone's thoughts were scattered in all directions. The more they thought, the more shocked they were. The more they thought, the more they felt like their bodies were frozen.
Less than four years after coming to the old haunt, they thought they could have a new beginning. But now that they heard the news, it was like everyone's hope had been destroyed.
Human power could stop it, but the power of the heavens was unstoppable! That was what every tribesman thought.
After an unknown amount of time, the people in the room began to look at Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan, who was deep in thought, finally reacted. He raised his head and saw that everyone in the room was staring at him.
"What?" Shao Xuan was confused.
"Can you … do divination?" asked Zheng Luo.
Everyone in the room knew that Shao Xuan could use knot divination.
"I've tried a few times before, but I didn't succeed once." Shao Xuan shook his head.
The eyes of the others in the room darkened as disappointment filled their faces. They originally thought that Shao Xuan might be able to use divination to find out what the shamaness didn't know. Now it seemed that this method wouldn't work.
Duo Kang scratched his stiff short hair. "Then, can we borrow the power of the ancestors?"
"The power of the ancestors?" Everyone was confused at first, then looked at Shao Xuan expectantly with sparkling eyes.
Yes, the power of the ancestors!
Didn't the people from the other side rely on the power of the ancestors to cross the sea?!
It was said that not everyone could use such powerful ancestral power. Even the ancestors from a thousand years ago could not get as much power from the bone ornaments as Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan took out the bone ornament necklace he always wore. He took a deep breath and sighed. "The ancestral bone ornaments might not work. We used too much power to cross the sea. The bone ornaments haven't recovered yet. Even if we can use them, they might not be able to help us much. "
Right now, the six bone ornaments on the necklace were a little brighter than when they had just crossed the sea. However, it was still incomparable to before. It was like an exhausted person who had not had enough time to rest, and his strength had yet to fully recover. If they used them again, not only would they not be able to reach their peak power, they might lose more than they gained.
They couldn't put all their hopes on the bone ornaments. They had to think of another way.
"We can't do this, we can't do that. What can we do? Can we leave the old haunt?! "Duo Kang muttered.
As soon as Duo Kang finished speaking, he was glared at by everyone in the room. How could he say that? This was the old haunt! How could they leave so easily?!
But … the situation now was indeed different from a thousand years ago.
There was no fire seed in the old haunt now.
Even if the entire tribe moved to another place, theoretically speaking, it was still possible.
No one wanted to leave. Even if there was no fire seed, they still had a sense of belonging. But wasn't this a special situation? The tribe could leave first, find a place to hide, and wait for the disaster to pass before returning.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed possible.
