He wasn't sure if it was because of the king stoneworm, but he had only seen the worm that dragged him here. He hadn't seen any other creatures.
Maybe it was because the king stoneworm had woken up and walked around, so the eyeless spiders and other insects all hid in their nests?
As for the insect that Shao Xuan had just killed, it probably came here for revenge.
If that was the case, should he go back to the fork and change his route?
Forget it. Shao Xuan shook his head, and decided to follow his intuition. There was something strange about this mountain.
Shao Xuan rolled up the feeler that he had cut off from the insect's head on his arm. Except for the sawtooth hook at the tip, the rest of the feeler was very soft. Shao Xuan did not feel any pain when he wrapped it around his arm.
Shao Xuan did not know which part of the mountain he was in. After staying in the mountain for so long, he found that his strong sense of direction was not useful at all. It was a very strange phenomenon.
Even when he played maze games in his previous life, he could remember all the places in the maze. When many people felt a headache and lost their sense of direction, he could still find the right direction quickly. Even if Shao Xuan was asked to return from the hunting route, he could still follow the route accurately. But now, Shao Xuan was confused.
There were many caves in the mountain. Other than the king stoneworm, there were many other creatures. The eyeless spiders and the insect that Shao Xuan had killed were only two of them.
Theoretically, there should be traces of all kinds of creatures living in the caves. Unfortunately, there were no traces at all. There were no scratches, no other remains, no spider silks or insect shells. It was as if nothing had ever existed. It was like every time a hunting group left a mark in a cave in the mountain, those marks would all disappear when they left.
If the power of totems could really tell those who were lost to choose the right direction and path, how could those ancestors get lost?
Shao Xuan continued to walk forward based on his intuition. Whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he would carefully sense it and use his special ability to choose which path to take. Shao Xuan only hoped that his intuition would not go on strike or lie to him. Otherwise, he would be dead. Just like what Lang Ga and the others said about the ancestors who opened up hunting routes, once lost, they could not go back.
Compared to the intuition brought by the fire seed, Shao Xuan's senses were stronger when he used that special ability.
Shao Xuan felt that he was walking down. He had probably left the mountainside and was at the bottom of the mountain. However, Shao Xuan persevered.
As he walked further down, he encountered some fist-sized insects. In Shao Xuan's vision, they were grey and white, and he could only see their vague outlines.
When some insects came to Shao Xuan, Shao Xuan would drive them away with the tentacle whip in his hand. Those insects seemed to be afraid of the tentacle whip. When Shao Xuan swung the tentacle whip at them, they would avoid it as if they were frightened.
Shao Xuan speculated that those insects were probably the food of the big insect with long tentacles. Look at them, they were so frightened.
In addition to the long tentacle whip, Teeth Knife also carried the smell of the insect.
The walls of the cave were densely packed with fist-sized bugs. Shao Xuan could even clearly hear the small but concentrated crackling sounds they made as they walked on the walls.
However, wherever Shao Xuan went, those insects would avoid him.
If he did not get rid of the tentacle bug, would it be very troublesome now? Even if these insects were not big, it would be difficult to deal with them in large numbers.
Originally, he only wanted to kill the tentacle bug for revenge, but he did not expect to get such a reward.
The strange feeling was getting stronger and stronger. If before, it was just a gentle breeze that moved the wind vane, now it was a fierce gust of wind, and the direction was quite clear.
This should not be the way out of the mountain, but whether it was the power of the totem or the special ability, it was telling him to go in that direction.
What was it?
Treasure?
Although the direction was clear, Shao Xuan did not speed up. He still maintained his pace and was alert of his surroundings.
Fortunately, other than those insects, there were no other creatures here.
He was getting closer and closer …
Shao Xuan held the knife in his hand, and was a little nervous.
After walking in the cave for so long, Shao Xuan could more or less feel the slight wind, but now, the more he walked forward, the more he felt that there was no road ahead.
As he continued to walk forward, the small insects around the cave walls gradually disappeared.
The surroundings were very quiet, and when the movements of the small insects were completely gone, there was only dead silence.
Other than the lack of other sounds, he could not even feel the flow of air.
In front, there seemed to be light …
Shao Xuan stopped in his tracks. Light?
If he used his normal vision, it would still be dark. Only with the vision of the special ability, he could see the light in the darkness.
As he continued to walk towards the light, Shao Xuan suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
He could not describe the feeling, it was like some kind of … ancient aura, with a sense of desolation and endless sorrow.
The light grew bigger and bigger, like a light shield, shrouding that small area.
When Shao Xuan finally got closer and saw the scene inside the light shield, his eyelids suddenly twitched.
Inside the light shield, there were four skeletons, at least in Shao Xuan's vision.
In the middle of the light shield, there was a person kneeling, and the other three people were surrounding him.
The four skeletons were all kneeling in the same posture, using the highest ritual in the tribe to worship the totem — kneeling on both knees, crossing their hands in front of their foreheads, and kowtowing in the same direction.
Beside them, spears and stone knives were inserted into the ground. In Shao Xuan's vision, these tools and weapons were all very dark in color, especially the spear beside the person in the middle, which was almost black. It could be seen that these stones were of the highest quality, or even the highest quality. At the same time, it also showed that these people were very capable warriors when they were alive, especially the person in the middle. He must have had a high status in the tribe.
As for the direction in which the four people were kneeling, although his sense of direction was confused, Shao Xuan had a feeling that they were kneeling in the direction of the tribe.
After Shao Xuan's vision swept over the four skeletons and the stone tools beside them, it stopped at the skeleton kneeling in the middle.
The skeleton wore a bone ornament in front of its chest, which was made of some unknown creature's bone. In Shao Xuan's vision, the bone ornament was brighter than the four skeletons here.
Since he got this special ability, Shao Xuan had studied it and learned that the bones of different levels of totem warriors were different in color. The bones of junior totem warriors were dark white, the bones of intermediate totem warriors were white, and the bones of more advanced totem warriors, such as Chief Ao's, were bright white. At this time, the bones of these four skeletons were all bright white. Although the degree of brightness was different, it was true, especially the one in the middle. But even so, they were not as bright as the bone ornament.
However, this was still not the most important thing.
The most important thing that attracted Shao Xuan's attention was a ball on the bone ornament. It was not a bone, but like a light bulb, it illuminated the surroundings, which was the light shield Shao Xuan saw.
Switching his vision and retracting his special ability, he looked at it with his normal eyes, but it was still dark, and he could not see any light. But when he switched his vision to the special ability, he could see that the ball was still bright, and it shrouded the surroundings in its light.
After observing for a while, Shao Xuan also found that the skeleton in the middle was still intact, but the other three skeletons were different. Some of their bones that were in contact with the ground had sunk into the stone surface of the cave, and the closer they were to the edge of the light shield, the deeper they sank.
Within the range of the light shield, he could see some scattered stone tools. The stone materials were all very good, but some of them had sunk into the ground, and only a part of them was exposed.
Outside the range of the light shield, Shao Xuan did not see any stone tools, skeletons, or other things.
This mountain could "eat" people. Not only did they 'eat' humans, but they would also 'eat' other things. For example, the insect that Shao Xuan had just killed. If there were no other creatures to eat it, the remains of the insect might also become like this and gradually be swallowed by the mountain.
This mountain had already "eaten" a lot. There were people who had passed away, dead insects, and things that had been placed there. Other than those holes, nothing else was left.
But now, the people and stone tools in the light shield had been preserved to this day because of the ball of light, even though they had been there for hundreds of years.
