At the place where Shao Xuan and the others were resting, they also heard the deafening sound of the eruption.
It wasn't just at the Yanjiao team's resting place. Some tribes even further away heard it too, but they didn't know what it was.
Originally, they planned to continue their journey after taking a rest. Before they left the tribe, they had discussed several times. Finally, according to the simple route left by their ancestors, they selected some places where the tectonic plate movements were not so strong. In Shao Xuan's opinion, the places outside the earthquake zone would always be safer.
Shao Xuan didn't draw out a long route. Back then, their ancestors walked directly to where the Drumming tribe was today. Shao Xuan's route was inland. With such strong seismic activity, he didn't know what would happen at the edge of the mainland. Although inland was also dangerous, it was safer.
Now, they were only halfway along the route. They hadn't really reached the inland and were still some distance away from the big tribes.
The snow falcon that delivered the letter to the Hui tribe had just returned. It came back trembling and landed on Guigou's shoulder. It wouldn't fly no matter what.
"Should we continue?" Ao stabilized his shaking body and asked Shao Xuan.
The earthquake was still going, but it was sometimes weak and sometimes strong. When it was weak, they could barely walk. When it was strong, they couldn't even stand. That was why everyone was panicking.
"No." Shao Xuan shook his head. He looked at the sky and said to Ao and Zheng Luo, "Continue to rest here. We might not be able to leave for a few days."
The two chiefs' hearts skipped a beat. "We can't leave? What do you mean? "Was there something worse?!
This was the result of Shao Xuan's rope divination when the earthquake was weak before the sun appeared.
"At least five days. We might have to rest first. Tell everyone to get ready. Don't go near the cracks. Don't get separated. Take out your hats," Shao Xuan said.
Although they didn't know why Shao Xuan said that, the two leaders still followed Shao Xuan's instructions.
The group that was slightly scattered due to the earthquake gathered together. Food and water were distributed, and the hats that they had made before leaving the tribe were also taken out.
Not long after, the sentinel exclaimed.
Everyone looked in that direction.
On the horizon, darkness was spreading towards them at an extremely fast speed.
"That direction is …" Ao's voice trembled.
That was the direction of the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest, and the black sky was coming from there.
The spreading blackness caused a lot of panic.
"What is that?!"
"What's going on?!"
The restless ferocious beasts and reared animals were forcibly held down. Shao Xuan comforted Caesar, and then said to Old Ke, who was leaning against Caesar, "Put on your hat."
It didn't take long for the black sky to spread above the group. Under the black smoke, dust and small pieces of rock fell, hitting people's hats made of different materials and making a fine tinkling sound.
Because they were already some distance away from the forest, large pieces of rock wouldn't fall here. Most of it was dust and small pieces of rock. For the tribesmen, it was fine as long as they wore their hats.
An old warrior covered his face with a thick linen cloth to block the flying dust. He wore a large animal skin cloak and held his child in his arms. He wrapped the cloak so that only a small mouth could be seen. Pulling on the leather rope tied to his chin, the old man pulled back the hat made of big nut shells from the forest that had been blown up by the wind. He knocked on the hat to shake off some of the dust on the hat, and then looked at where the leaders were. Although it was very dark now, he could still see some moving figures.
As long as the elders, leaders, shamans, and leaders were all here, they should be fine.
It had to be said that Shao Xuan's actions did indeed calm people down and reduce a lot of panic. Many people felt that the elders and shamans must have expected such a situation and must have countermeasures.
In fact, Shao Xuan didn't have any countermeasures. Up until now, he had tried to predict the future with his knot divination, but he hadn't succeeded. Maybe it wasn't time yet, or maybe he didn't have enough ability.
He could only endure!
If he could survive this ordeal, perhaps he would be able to find out more.
The black smoke in the sky covered Yang Guang, and the surrounding temperature dropped a little. According to Shao Xuan's divination results, the situation would remain like this for at least five days. Moreover, Shao Xuan knew in his heart that even if they survived this disaster and returned to the Fearsome Beast Forest, it would be impossible for them to farm in a short period of time.
As for prey? It would probably be difficult to find them. How many beasts in the forest could survive this change?
If Yanjiao returned, how would they survive?
Shao Xuan looked at the dark sky and thought hard.
At the same time, in the distant sea, there were also some eruptions similar to the one in the Fearsome Beast Forest. There was also black smoke spewing out, spreading from several places and finally covering everything under the black smoke.
The volcano in the Fearsome Beast Forest had its peak cut down by hundreds of meters. Moreover, as the volcanic ash and magma continued to erupt, this change continued.
Waves that were hundreds of meters high rose from the surface of the sea and surged forward. Then, even higher waves followed closely behind, one after another, crashing toward the land.
In the desert, darkness was spreading. Some wandering slaves were screaming in horror. They didn't know what was going on, but not long after, they couldn't scream anymore. The waves hit the desert and swallowed everything near the coast. The people who thought that they could survive and build their own power lost all hope.
The people of Rock Hill City rarely cleaned up the forces near the coast. In the past, many people didn't understand. There were even some remnants of the slave masters who were rising up, but the people of Rock Hill City didn't care.
Now, some people suddenly had a strange thought. Did the people of Rock Hill City know that this would happen?
However, even if they were confused, they couldn't find the answer.
A series of tsunamis swallowed up nearly a third of the desert. To be exact, it wasn't swallowed up. A large part of the desert that was swallowed up had disappeared along with the violent shaking of the ground.
In other parts of the desert, even places that weren't hit by the tsunamis were not peaceful.
Sand waterfalls that sprayed out without warning or sudden sinking of quicksand swallowed many people and beasts. Many places were in a state of panic. The calmest place was probably Rock Hill City.
Even if there were big changes in the surroundings, the place where Rock Hill City was located wasn't affected much. There was an impact, but it was small. Although there was an earthquake here, it wasn't very active. There was also no quicksand or sand waterfall. The tsunami's impact had been greatly reduced not far from Rock Hill City. To Rock Hill City, it was really not a big deal.
A long time ago, someone asked the King of Rock Hill City why he built a city here. With Rock Hill City's strength, they could have taken a better place.
The King of Rock Hill City smiled but didn't say anything.
Every King of Rock Hill City knew the reason but never told others. Even many of the Shi Family's descendants didn't know the reason. Only the successor had the right to know.
The darkness continued. As the earth quaked and mountains swayed, no one knew just how great of a change had taken place.
