On this continent, there was almost no place that was peaceful.
Shao Xuan had no way of knowing how the people in other places were doing. In this world, there was no need to expect anyone to rescue them when they encountered a disaster. You had to rely on yourself.
The earthquake was still going on, and the darkness in the sky had not dissipated. Two days had passed, but there was still no light.
A thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground. If you lay still on the ground on the first day, you would be buried by the falling dust on the second day.
In the darkness, in the midst of the earthquake, large tents were set up in the tribe. Shao Xuan had made these tents before he left the tribe. The tents were made of animal skin, which was much stronger than linen. The tents were set up with specially made metal poles, which were tied with the strongest rattan ropes. The poles were tied to large stones that were carried over. Two or three warriors sat on the large stones. If the stones rolled to other places due to the earthquake, they would move them back to maintain the stability of each tent.
In the tents, there were children and women without totemic power, old people who could not move freely, and wounded people who had been injured in the earthquake.
Many people were injured in the earthquake, and their meridians were severely damaged. If it was in the past, their injured hands and feet would be crippled, or their lives would be in danger. However, with the Veins of the Sky, the situation was different. Not only could they save their hands and feet, but they could also save their lives.
Shao Xuan walked quickly in the team. Others needed to rely on the water moon stone to illuminate the surroundings, but he did not. If there were people who were seriously injured, he could find them faster.
He called a team of people who were responsible for transporting the wounded. Shao Xuan and the others carried the injured people to the tents. Inside, Gui Ze brought over a batch of newly made medicine and distributed it to the people who were taking care of the wounded.
"How is the situation?" Shao Xuan asked.
"It's okay for now. There are not many who are seriously injured." Gui Ze handed a small pouch made of animal skin to Shao Xuan. "There are some newly made medicines inside. Distribute them to the other warriors, they will feel better."
Shao Xuan opened the animal skin bag and took a look inside. The bag was filled with small pills, but the amount was smaller than usual. They had to be frugal now. No one knew what would happen later, so they had to keep some medicinal herbs in reserve. If it wasn't for the fact that his injuries were critical, he would have been more frugal with his medicine. Shao Xuan could understand this.
In the past, when Shao Xuan was studying herbs in the tribe's medicine house, he had tried to make pills. Later, when everyone saw that pills were more convenient, they gradually began to adapt to such pills.
As for the pills that Gui Ze made, in the past two days, because of the dust falling from the sky and the unpleasant smell in the air, many people in the team had developed some minor problems. The warriors were better off, as they had a stronger resistance, so the symptoms were not obvious. However, those who had not awakened their totemic power were unlucky. They could not breathe properly, and their lungs were damaged. Even if they were covered with linen cloth, it was useless.
The pills that Gui Ze gave them were for this situation. The warriors would not stay in the tent like those who did not have totemic power. They had to be outside to guard against all kinds of dangers, and they also had to look for the injured. Their bodies were more or less affected. Although they could not see it now, it did not mean that they would be safe in the future. Therefore, it was always good to take some medicine as a precaution.
When Shao Xuan went outside to distribute the pills, he bumped into Duo Kang, who was coughing. He was annoyed by the linen cloth, so he took off the linen cloth that covered most of his face. As a result, the dust that fell off was inhaled into his nose, and he choked until he almost collapsed.
"It's time to take your medicine." Shao Xuan handed him a pill. "Although it's uncomfortable to cover your face with linen, it's still better than you."
Shao Xuan did not need to say more. Duo Kang was already regretting it. He stuffed the pill that Shao Xuan handed him into his mouth, and took a big gulp of water from the water bottle that was hanging on his waist. The refreshing feeling dispersed the pain in his throat from coughing, and his breathing became smoother.
After he recovered, Duo Kang sat on the ground. He did not care about the layer of dust on the ground, and asked Shao Xuan, "What should we do from now on?"
Shao Xuan knew that they were starting to panic. Not only Duo Kang, but the others, the chief, the shaman, the various leaders, and even the soldiers who did not say anything but looked worried and anxious, were all worried. After all, they had never encountered such a thing before. After these two days, no one could remain calm.
Shao Xuan thought for a while, and called Tuo, who had just left the tent after sending the injured, over. He passed the pouch with the pills to him, and asked him to distribute the rest of the pills to those who had not taken the pills. Then, like Duo Kang, he sat on the ground, tilted his head, and patted the layer of dust on his hat. He took out a straw rope from his pocket.
When Duo Kang saw Shao Xuan like this, he quickly took out a water moon stone to light up the area, so that he could see more clearly.
In these two days, Shao Xuan had also performed a divination. He could only tell that it was temporarily safe to stay here. There were three places where the earthquake was the strongest. One was in the Fearsome Beast Forest, one was in the direction of the desert, and the last one was much weaker than the first two. It was in the direction of the great river that the ancestors had taken.
This place was not close to the three most dangerous places. Although there were earthquakes, it was enough to be a temporary resting place.
Once again, Shao Xuan immersed himself in the knot divination. Perhaps it was because he had experienced so much, and the changes that happened in the past two days, his ability to predict things had become stronger. With his current ability, the number of things that he could divine gradually increased. Therefore, Shao Xuan was now performing two divinations a day. He hoped that he could divine more things. At such a time, the more he knew, the higher his chances of survival.
During one of the two divinations a day, Shao Xuan would divine the location of the 'path of survival' and the direction that the tribe should go.
Even if he wanted to use the fire seed, it was impossible. Now that there was no fire seed, even the shamans could not know the correct path from the totemic flames in their bodies. Under the weather, the fire seed was powerless. Sometimes, it was better to rely on one's intuition.
Shao Xuan's intuition was to follow the path that the ancestors had taken. However, he was leading a tribe after all. If he was not confident, he would not act rashly.
After the divination, Shao Xuan looked at the knot that was finally tied. He understood the meaning of the knot and felt slightly relieved.
"As expected."
"What?! What's the result?! "Ao, who was watching from not far away, could not help but walk over. He just wanted to check on the wounded, but when he saw Shao Xuan sitting there with a straw rope in his hand, he suddenly understood. However, he did not dare to disturb Shao Xuan. He knew a lot, and he also understood that knot divination was not so easy to succeed. In addition, the current situation made him even more nervous, so he did not dare to take a step in that direction. Now that he saw Shao Xuan successfully tying the knot, he could not wait to come over.
"When the earthquake stops and the sky clears up, we will go that way." Shao Xuan pointed in a direction and said.
"That way? Follow the path that the ancestors took? "Ao asked.
"Yes."
