Shao Xuan kept the animal skin scroll in his hand and hurried out of the cave.
Why would there be a flock of birds at this time? They didn't hear any big movements in the forest, so it was impossible to startle the birds.
Moreover, if it was just a small flock of birds, the people guarding outside wouldn't be so shocked.
Even though Shao Xuan knew that there must be a large flock of birds in the sky, when he really walked out of the cave and looked at the sky, he realized that he had underestimated it.
The dense flock of birds in the sky was like a dark cloud that suddenly appeared, covering most of the afterglow of the setting sun, casting only a shadow.
"Why are there so many birds?!"
"Where did they come from?!"
Even the people who first participated in the development of this hunting route had never encountered such a thing.
"In the past, when we developed this hunting route, we didn't see anything like this!" They were the people who knew the best about this hunting route, but this was the first time they saw such a scene.
"What are those birds?"
"I can't see clearly, they're flying too high!"
"They don't look small, and they're flying very fast."
"Even if they're big and fly fast, with such a large number of birds, are they migrating?"
The people looking at the sky casually expressed their opinions, but Shao Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
According to the time in the tribe, at this time, it was indeed autumn in many places. In cold places, the temperature dropped early.
Could it be that they were migrating to warmer places? But if that was the case, they had never been seen here before, so why did they suddenly appear now?
They didn't know where the flock of birds in the sky came from, and where they were going, so the hunting team still had to continue.
"Everyone, be careful." Duo Kang said to the others with a stern face, then turned and strode into the cave.
When Shao Xuan also walked into the cave, Duo Kang hurried over. At this time, he looked nervous, completely different from the sternness he had when he was warning the others outside the cave.
Duo Kang lowered his voice, probably because he was too excited, and his voice was trembling at the beginning. "Shao Xuan, why do you think those birds in the sky suddenly flew up? Could it be … Could it be … Is there something wrong? "
Shao Xuan paused for a moment, then understood. Duo Kang was worried about another catastrophe.
It was no wonder that Duo Kang was so nervous and frightened. After all, he had experienced the previous disaster and was extremely paranoid. Whenever he saw a similar scene, he would think in that direction. When he left the old haunt, there were also flocks of birds coming out of the Ferocious Beast Mountain Forest when the world changed.
Shao Xuan pondered for a moment. He didn't have the same feeling of fear and uneasiness that he had during the cataclysm. He looked at the green-faced fanged beast that was sleeping soundly in the cave and said, "I don't think so."
Duo Kang didn't dare to breathe. He continued to stare at Shao Xuan. "Why don't you tie another knot?"
What he meant was that he wanted Shao Xuan to perform a knot divination. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
"That's fine too." Today's hunt had already ended, so it wouldn't matter if he spent some energy on divination.
Shao Xuan was about to look for a straw rope when Duo Kang handed it over.
Shao Xuan looked at the straw rope and then looked at Duo Kang. This person usually didn't use such a thin straw rope.
"Cough, I just made a little too much when I was making the straw rope. I kept it for later use," said Duo Kang. He didn't use such a thin straw rope himself, but ever since he saw Shao Xuan's ability in knot divination, he developed a habit of making straw ropes that were thin and easy to tie. If Shao Xuan didn't have any straw rope, he could provide some.
Not only Duo Kang, but Zheng Luo, Ta, and Guigou all did the same thing in the tribe. They just didn't encounter a situation where Shao Xuan had to perform a divination.
Shao Xuan adjusted his breathing and then picked up the straw rope. He closed his eyes and began the divination.
He only wanted to know about the birds in the sky. Where did they come from and where did they go?
After a while, Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the completed knot in his hand. After reading the conclusion, he frowned.
"What … What happened?!" Duo Kang was so nervous that his teeth were chattering. He didn't want to hear the terrible news from Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan shook his head. "It's not a disaster."
Duo Kang let out a long sigh.
"But …"
"?!" Duo Kang held his breath and glared at Shao Xuan.
"It's a little strange," said Shao Xuan.
"What's strange?" Duo Kang couldn't calm down.
Shao Xuan pointed in a direction. "The divination didn't give us accurate information, but we know that the birds came from that direction."
"That direction?" Duo Kang thought carefully about the map he had seen.
In the Fearsome Beast Mountain Forest, other than the six hunting routes, there were also some places that were not often visited. Duo Kang was thinking about the places in that direction on the map.
However, this forest was very big. Even though the Yanjiao tribe had lived here for almost a thousand years, the places they had visited were very limited. The map they had drawn was just the tip of the iceberg.
Duo Kang couldn't deduce anything with just the direction.
Shao Xuan couldn't figure out what was in that direction either, so he put it aside for the time being.
What surprised Shao Xuan and the others was that in the following period of time, they saw flocks of birds flying in the sky one after another. However, the flocks were different every time, and there were many different types of birds.
Moreover, these flocks of birds only flew in that direction. Even when Shao Xuan and the others returned to the tribe from the hunting ground, they didn't see the flocks of birds fly back.
Seeing such a situation, everyone had a question in their heart: What happened?
When the other hunting teams from the other five hunting routes met up with them and communicated with them, ha! The other hunting teams had also seen the same flocks of birds, but at different times. After all, there was still some distance between the hunting routes.
This question made the Yanjiao tribe, which had just settled down, depressed again.
The two shamans were also depressed. They didn't feel any danger, nor did they see any signs of change in the weather. So why was this happening?
It was said that the beasts in the forest and the birds in the sky could react to danger in advance. It was because of this that the people of Yanjiao were worried.
Why was this happening?!
The atmosphere in the tribe was tense again. Some of the warriors even began to make stone tools. Metal tools were limited, so they had to make more stone tools as backup.
The blacksmiths in the forge were under more pressure, and they worked overtime every day. Whether it was a natural disaster or war, they had to be prepared.
In the last few days, they still saw flocks of birds flying in the sky from time to time. Even if they weren't directly above Yanjiao, the people standing on the watchtowers or near the top of the mountain could still see the flocks of birds flying in the sky.
After observing, Shao Xuan found that the birds in the sky started from the large, fast, strong, and ferocious birds in the beginning. Gradually, they became smaller, weaker, and more ferocious birds.
Until one day, when Shao Xuan was standing on the watchtower on the mountainside, he suddenly saw a green figure flying over.
