Under the prayers of the patriarch and some elders, all the young and middle-aged people showed solemn expressions and worshiped. Many women and children also rushed over and prayed silently, praying that their relatives who went hunting would come back in good health.
The mountains are too dangerous. If you leave the village guarded by Willow, there will be a completely different world outside, full of terrifying birds of prey and giant beasts.
Just like that, the strongest group of people in the village set off with giant bows and broad swords on their backs. They walked into the mountains and rivers and swamps, and suddenly an aura of wilderness rushed towards them.
After watching the hunting team leave, the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng led a group of children to the grass at the head of the village, sat down cross-legged, and said, "Okay, it's time for you monkeys to study hard."
A group of children suddenly looked sad, all listless, and sat around reluctantly, like leaves that had withered in the sun.
"Grandpa Patriarch, those bird characters and turtle characters are as complicated as ghost charms. They are really difficult to learn. What do you do by memorizing them?"
"That's right, it's not as useful as the archery skills my father taught me!"
A group of children all had bitter faces and were very resistant.
"You guys are really ignorant. The bone inscriptions are the symbols naturally manifested on the bones of the tyrannical ancient relics. They contain mysterious and unpredictable power. Many people want to learn but have no way. Once you have learned it, you will not know.
They will be many times stronger than your fathers." The old patriarch hated that iron cannot become steel and scolded them.
"Grandpa Patriarch, please show us the power of bone inscriptions." said an older child.
"Come here, little one." The clan leader shouted into the distance.
After chasing the five-colored sparrow, the little boy was trying hard to pull the tail of a big yellow dog. Hearing this, he turned his head in confusion, let go of his hand and ran over, blinking his big bright eyes, and said: "Err, eh, eh, patriarch."
What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"Use the bone inscriptions I taught you." Shi Yunfeng said.
"Okay." The little one was very obedient. He stretched out his two little hands, closed his mouth, and kept exerting all his strength, until his little face turned red.
With a "buzz" sound, a piece of light appeared in the palm of his hand, and a strange text appeared. It seemed to be cast from metal, with a metallic luster and texture. Soon the other hand also appeared.
The little boy took two steps forward and picked up a piece of bluestone that was taller than him.
"It's amazing!" A group of children exclaimed. How could a little guy over one year old lift such a big stone?
"You little one, did you use up all your energy in feeding?" the older child teased him.
"Yeah, yes, all my strength is gone." The little boy dropped the bluestone and sat down on the ground, smiling heartlessly, very pure, while the runes on his palm quickly dimmed and disappeared.
"Grandpa Patriarch, is this the mysterious power of bone inscriptions that you have been studying for more than ten years?" A group of children's eyes shone, completely different from the lack of interest not long ago.
"Don't be excited. These can only lead you on your way. They are far worse than the heavenly bone inscriptions that appeared in ancient legends." The old man nodded and shook his head.
"Grandpa Patriarch, tell us about the outside world." A group of children showed hope.
Everyone in Stone Village knows that when the old clan was young, they went to the far end of the earth with more than a dozen powerful clansmen in the village and made troubles in the outside world.
But more than ten years ago, only two people came back covered in blood. One of them died soon after, and only Shi Yunfeng survived.
Over the years, he has been studying mysterious bone inscriptions, and from time to time he conducts experiments on strong people in the village. These children know clearly that their fathers, who are as strong as tigers and dragons, will send out formations in that stone courtyard every time they are called.
The heart-shaking howling made these children prematurely develop a sense of resistance and awe.
It was not until the old patriarch's research calmed down in recent years that he no longer frightened the villagers. Moreover, the little one who grew up eating the milk of hundreds of animals and the food of hundreds of families was adopted by him and became the best candidate for research.
"The outside world..." The old man showed a look of recollection. He was lost in thought for a while and then said: "The world is too big and vast. From one area to another it is millions of miles away. No one knows how vast it really is.
A person can walk on foot for a lifetime and never get out of one area. The vast wilderness is endless. It is difficult for humans to communicate with each other in different areas because it is too dangerous. There are many tyrannical species on the earth, which are terrifying and mysterious. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of people,
Tribes or majestic giant cities may also be destroyed by a few ancient relics in one night. Of course, there are also unimaginably powerful humans, whose combat prowess is comparable to that of other species. Their divine power is unparalleled, and they can be called the genius of the human race.
"
A group of children were in awe, but also yearned for it, and were curious about the unknown world. Someone asked: "Are there any treasures or elixirs in the mountains and rivers that can transform a person overnight? How powerful is the most powerful genius of the human race?"
?”
The old man smiled and said: "If you want to know, just make yourself stronger first."
"If we master the mysterious power of bone inscriptions, can we travel to all areas of the world?" Some children expressed admiration.
Shi Yunfeng touched a child's head and said: "Don't talk about other regions, this is our region. It would be great if there is a strange person who can cross half of the territory!"
All the children were in a daze.
"All I can do is lead you on the road. It depends on you where you go in the future. What I teach you should be no worse than what children of the same age in the outside world have learned." The old man said at the end, with a look in his eyes.
A strange light appeared, and he touched a strange jade bone in his arms.
A group of children sat around the old patriarch. They finally calmed down and began to listen carefully to the teachings. They did not disperse until noon.
"It's too difficult. The patriarch actually said that it would take several years for someone to be able to put a little bit of bone culture into their body, and most people may never succeed."
"But the little one is as big as Ding Ding, and he actually did it."
The little one blinked his big eyes innocently, and then pulled the big yellow dog's tail again, and the big yellow dog barked even more innocently.
The red sun sets in the west, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire stone village is dyed with a light golden light. Apes are crowing and tigers are roaring in the distance, but the large stone houses here are as sacred and peaceful as ancient temples.
Dozens of people appeared on the horizon, long shadows were drawn on the ground by the setting sun, and the outlines of their bodies were rimmed with gold by the sunset, making them look extremely tall and powerful. Almost everyone was dragging a huge beast.
, returned with a full load.
"We're back!" A group of women and children who had been waiting at the edge of the village for a long time cheered. The uneasiness and fear in their hearts suddenly disappeared and they shouted loudly.
"Abba and the others are back safely!"
"Oh my God, there are so many prey. It's really a rare harvest!"
This hunting was very successful. Dozens of adult men caught something. Among the prey were a huge dragon-horned elephant, a one-legged beast that looked like an ox, and a flying python as thick as a bucket with wings...
The old people in the village looked shocked. These creatures were usually very difficult to deal with. Some of them could be called ferocious beasts, but today so many of them were hunted and killed, and they were stained with blood. It was really unexpected.
For example, the dragon-horned elephant has a body as strong as iron that cannot be pierced by an iron spear. Its horns are as sharp as a drill and can easily crush boulders. And the Kui beast's sound is like thunder. If it is close, it can smash it.
People are shocked to death. As for the flying python with giant wings on its ribs, it is a killer in the forest. It can suddenly kill people from the top of a mountain, which is extremely terrifying.
There are also several more powerful creatures among the prey, such as the red two-headed fire rhinoceros, the impure blood Pixiu... These are all truly ferocious beasts. You should stay away from them after you find them, but now they are.
Being hunted is seriously inconsistent with common sense!
"This time we are really lucky. We returned with a full load, but no one was injured." Shi Linhu, the leader of the hunting team, laughed heartily and explained to the clan leader and villagers. In the past few days, there have been super beasts passing by in the mountains at night, and the earth has been shaking.
The mountains shook, trampling to death and injuring many mountain beasts. During the day, they followed them all the way and killed many seriously injured beasts. These were tyrannical creatures that the villagers needed to avoid on weekdays.
"There are some large footprints in the mountains that are shaped like human feet, but they are really too big, nearly a hundred meters long!"
"So big?!" the villagers exclaimed, this is really shocking news.
Even the old people in the village couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, and they became more and more convinced that something unusual had happened deep in the mountains, attracting some ancient relics near the wilderness.
In any case, it was a great harvest, and the tribesmen were full of joy. The stone village was filled with the laughter of children, and there was an atmosphere of joy.
The clan leader Shi Yunfeng led everyone to the willow tree, carried dozens of beast corpses to the front and back, and placed all the blood-stained beasts on the stone platform. It was obviously a large altar.
