Above the river, the bloody mist in the distance became thinner and thinner as the surface of the river fell. Finally, it disappeared.
In the end, the people of the Drumming tribe didn't know what happened on the river. After they saw what happened on the river, the whole tribe once again moved away from the river bank, further away from the river bank.
Although they didn't get close to the river, the people of the Drumming tribe could guess the situation on the other side from the movements of the nearby rivers. Before they moved back, the water in the big river had already started to fall. Some of the small rivers that connected to the big river had also started to change. It was similar to what happened after the end of the rainy season in previous years. However, this time, all the changes were brought forward. Moreover, the water level in those small rivers was also unprecedentedly low.
The rain continued, and it lasted longer than in previous years. The water level in the nearby rivers didn't rise. The crocodiles of the Drumming tribe all seemed to be frightened. They always hid in their nests and didn't leave. At most, they would go into the river to fish or hunt other prey. Some of the more irritable crocodiles would even fight.
The crocodiles were anxious and worried, and so were the people of the Drumming tribe. It wasn't just them. On this continent, people from other places, and within each tribe, were all filled with a sense of panic.
Especially the shamans of the few large tribes, they always felt very anxious, as if a beast that had been lurking for a long time was about to bare its fangs. However, where this beast was, what it looked like, and what kind of threat it would pose, they had no idea.
Fearsome Beast Forest, Yanjiao tribe.
In the house, Old Ke's stone crafting sound had no rhythm. This wasn't Old Ke's usual style, but at this time, Old Ke was already absent-minded. His eyes weren't on the stone he was crafting. He was staring at a certain spot, but there was no focus.
Shao Xuan looked at the sky, which was still raining, and didn't say a word. Suddenly, the sky seemed to change its style. A dark scene replaced the rain falling from the sky. The sky seemed to be dyed with a mass of ink, and the ink was spreading quickly. Flashing lightning cut through the darkness and scattered everywhere.
Shao Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath as a huge pressure and panic suddenly assaulted him. Even his hair stood on end.
However, when Shao Xuan quivered and looked again, the sky was still the same as before. Dark clouds covered the sky and rain poured down hastily. Where did the lightning and ink come from?
"No, that's not right!"
Shao Xuan paced around the room.
This feeling was too familiar. It was not every time he would get a revelation from the dream. He would also "see" some situations that others could not see. It happened a long time ago, but this kind of situation did not appear often.
Shao Xuan's sudden impatience snapped Old Ke out of his daze. Stopping what he was doing, Old Ke walked to the door of the stoneware workshop with his cane. He looked over at Shao Xuan and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shao Xuan's violently beating heart still hadn't calmed down. When he heard Old Ke's question, he didn't explain much. Instead, he said, "I'm going to the shaman!" After taking two steps, he turned back to Old Ke and said, "You can make a hat. A hard one with a wide brim."
After saying that, Shao Xuan hurriedly ran into the rain, leaving Old Ke standing there with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand why Shao Xuan wanted to make that kind of thing. The hat that Shao Xuan mentioned was made by Shao Xuan last year when they were farming. It was for the people who took care of the field to use it to hide Yang Guang. Later, everyone weaved that kind of straw hat with rattan grass and remembered the style. Naturally, Old Ke was familiar with it. However, Shao Xuan just said that it had to be hard. If it was hard, they couldn't use normal rattan grass.
Although he didn't understand why Shao Xuan said that, Old Ke still followed Shao Xuan's instructions and thought about what material to use.
On the other side, Shao Xuan hurriedly ran to the shamans. When he arrived, the two shamans were discussing something. Seeing that Shao Xuan was in such a hurry, they stopped talking and asked, "What happened?"
If it was just a normal matter, Shao Xuan wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Shao Xuan nodded and told the two shamans what he "saw" just now.
Hearing this, the two shamans were shocked and the worry in their eyes grew. "What do you think that is?"
The two shamans didn't know what that situation was, but Shao Xuan had a guess. He took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly and clearly, "I think that the volcano in the forest is about to erupt!"
"What?!" The two old shamans were shocked and stood up from the animal skin cushions.
The last time Shao Xuan went out with the hunting team and saw the volcano, he told the shamans about it when he came back. However, at that time, there were no signs and no one could be sure what would happen. But now, Shao Xuan felt that there was more than a sixty percent chance that what he said was true.
The two shamans didn't know what kind of effect a volcano eruption would have, but they had learned about it from the records left behind by their ancestors.
"Is it really coming?" The old shaman's voice trembled. His eyes were tightly shut, and his loose eyelids trembled. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and called in the two soldiers who were guarding outside. His tone was resolute, and he emphasized almost every word. "Immediately inform the people above the leader to come here!"
Perhaps there were some old warriors who didn't want to leave, but at this time, the shaman showed his tough side again.
In order for this operation to be carried out, the leaders must be informed. As long as the leaders could take the lead, the warriors under them would definitely not have any other ideas.
In the past few years, some of the people in the tribe had become bolder. People's hearts were fickle and not all of them were on the same side. Usually, the shaman could pretend that he didn't know, but at this time, he wouldn't allow anyone to have any objections!
The two shamans had the same idea. It wasn't that they were bossy and arbitrary, but they were afraid.
The natural disaster that Shao Xuan mentioned was actually not the most important thing to them. What they were most worried about was whether the tribe would split again. If there was a difference in beliefs, would they encounter the same thing that happened to their ancestors a thousand years ago? After all, this time, the situation might be similar to the disaster a thousand years ago.
Not long after, the three team leaders and twenty team leaders, after being informed, didn't dare to delay and ran over in the rain.
The shaman briefly repeated Shao Xuan's words, then said, "What I mean is, our tribe should be prepared to leave!"
Although they were already mentally prepared, when they heard this decision, they still couldn't bear to leave.
"Then … when will we leave?" Ao's voice was hoarse, and there was obvious fatigue on his face. There were dark circles around his eyes, and he hadn't slept well these days.
In response to this question, the two shamans looked at each other, then at Shao Xuan at the same time.
Shao Xuan paused, then said, "We'll leave as soon as the rain stops. In the next few days, everyone should be prepared. If you lose everything, you can start over again, but if you lose your life, you lose everything. "
The rain continued for a few more days, until one day, it suddenly cleared up, and Yang Guang was radiant.
However, the Yanjiao tribesmen's mood wasn't as radiant as Yang Guang's. They were already prepared to leave this place that they had devoted themselves to for more than three years.
