"Teacher, are we going to keep hanging out like this?"
Liu Yuzhi knelt on the ground with a solemn expression.
Previously, she and Zhang Wentao went hunting with the Graystone Tribe's hunting team to collect animal blood. However, hunting has stopped since the volcano erupted the day before yesterday.
Now, the beasts in the hilly areas are running away like crazy, making hunting much more difficult.
"if not?"
Zhang Wentao lay on the bed and stretched out his body. He also tried to do something, but after being beaten by reality, he had learned to behave.
I shouldn't have come in to play this game!
It's simply too difficult.
If it hadn't been for Sun Mo's help, I would have been a slave until he died of exhaustion.
"Let Sun Mo think of a solution!"
Zhang Wentao turned over.
Seeing his useless appearance, Liu Yuzhi was unhappy: "Teacher, you should cheer up."
"Are you lecturing me?"
Zhang Wentao yelled: "Cheer up? Tell me how to cheer up?"
"In Kyushu, if you encounter something you don't know, you can read a book or ask your elders for advice, but this is the Stone Age."
Zhang Wentao punched the bed board angrily: "I am the most knowledgeable person, who should I ask for advice?"
Liu Yuzhi wanted to say that Sun Mo was the most knowledgeable person.
"Leave it to Sun Mo!"
Thinking about what Sun Mo had done, Zhang Wentao was really impressed. He could even raise maggots, let alone grow mushrooms.
This teacher is really knowledgeable and talented.
No!
Even a saint would probably not raise maggots.
"I'm going to see Teacher Sun!"
Liu Yuzhi went out.
"Jade branch!"
Zhang Wentao called to someone, "If you think Sun Mo is very powerful, you can switch to his school and become his teacher. I don't mind. Your talent is very good, don't waste it."
Liu Yuzhi found Lu Zhiruo in the mushroom room: "Where is Teacher Sun?"
"He went to discuss strategies with the chief."
Just as Papaya Girl was talking, there was another huge roar.
The two people ran out and saw a puff of black smoke at the end of the northeast direction, rising into the sky like a black cloud.
…
The gray stone house was already crowded with people, including the top leaders of the tribe.
"The volcano has completely awakened. It's time to send out a sacrificial group and throw ice stones into the volcano."
A big boss suggested.
“Why not choose to migrate?”
Gu Xiuxun was puzzled.
Because of Sun Mo's relationship, they are qualified to enter here to observe.
Although the people of Kyushu don't know much about the principles of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes, they also know that once such things erupt, no one can resist them, and migration is undoubtedly a once and for all solution.
"This is our homeland. Even if we die, we will die here."
As soon as Dou M finished speaking, the top management started to complain.
Decades ago, these people did not leave, but stayed. They were all conservatives, so it is even more impossible for them to leave now.
"Does throwing ice rocks into a volcano really work?"
Sun Mo questioned.
"This is what our ancestors did. Throwing ice stones into the volcano will calm down its anger."
The chief explained: "Don't worry, Great Prophet, it has been successful six times."
"If that's the case, why did some of your ancestors migrate?"
Bai Fu retorted.
Gray rock is silent.
"Chief, if you are sure, why are you still looking so solemn?"
Sun Mo asked: "And that ice stone, where did it come from?"
He always felt something was wrong with this matter.
"You all go out, I want to discuss important matters with the prophet!"
Huiyan ordered.
After everyone left, Hui Yan opened the floor of the stone house and took out a stone box from the ten-meter-deep cellar. He opened it and found a red stone the size of a cherry, like a piece of solidified blood.
"After people in our tribe die, they will be cremated. Occasionally, an ice stone will be left behind. This ice stone has mysterious power. If you perform sacrifices and pray, it can suppress volcanic eruptions."
Limestone explosion.
If Sun Mo hadn't proven his worth, Hui Yan would never have said this to him.
"..."
Sun Mo wanted to say, could this thing be a stone?
Can an active volcano stop erupting with a broken rock and prayers to the ancestors?
Are you kidding me?
Do you believe that big guys like Einstein and Newton will jump out of the coffin and blow your head off with their little fists?
etc,
This is in the game, maybe it really works?
"Have you ever thought that maybe the cessation of the volcano is not due to the effect of the ice and rocks, but because the volcano has not yet erupted in a major way?"
Sun Mo put forward a new hypothesis.
"Prophet, this kind of ice stone can only be condensed with our blood. Otherwise, why would the Red Rock Tribe hunt my people as sacrifices?"
Huiyan was a little unhappy about Sun Mo's suspicion.
"And my expression is solemn because this is the last ice stone. Even if we get through it safely this time, what will happen if the volcano erupts next time?"
Huiyan is a conservative through and through. He doesn't want to migrate, but there is no more ice stone.
Why do we have to encounter these things when life just gets better?
Have our ancestors abandoned us?
No longer protecting us?
"What do you want?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Calm down the volcano first, and then make other plans!"
Huiyan knelt down: "Great Prophet, I hope you will go with me!"
"good!"
Soon, Sun Mo knew that this sacrificial trip would be troublesome.
That volcano is within the territory of the Red Rock Tribe, and it is also their sacred mountain. Intruders will be shot without mercy.
In just one day, a team of sixty people was ready to go.
Twenty of them were the bravest warriors of the tribe, and the rest, except for Sun Mo, were all teenagers and girls.
"What are you taking them for?"
Sun Mo didn't understand.
"This is a test. If they pass the test, they will receive the protection of their ancestors and become the cornerstone of the tribe's future."
Huiyan said so, and there was no reason for Sun Mo to want them to stay.
"Teacher, will you take me with you?"
Lu Zhiruo looked at Sun Mo eagerly like a pug waiting for food.
"Um!"
Sun Mo touched the mascot's head.
It would be too dangerous to leave her alone, so why not take her with you so that she can be cared for.
After a hearty dinner and a good night's sleep, the team set off early the next morning.
Because the volcano is about to erupt, it will cause constant earthquakes, and the hills are full of escaping beasts. This also makes the team's journey difficult, because they will always encounter a herd of beasts, and they will inevitably have to fight.
The team rushed slowly and hurriedly, and after three days, they finally entered a mountainous area.
"Further forward is the territory of the Red Rock Tribe, everyone must be careful!"
Graystone Reminder.
"The names of your two tribes really are in love with each other!"
Gu Xiuxun complained.
After driving for another half day, the team stopped at dusk and made a fire to make food.
"Teacher, shall I do it?"
Liu Yuzhi took the initiative to help Sun Mo cook porridge.
Zhang Wentao chewed the dried meat and watched several beautiful and famous teachers serving Sun Mo. He drooled with envy: "When will I be treated like this?"
The aroma of rice overflowed, making everyone feel even more hungry after working hard all day.
"Chief, the meal is ready!"
A girl brought a roast chicken to Hui Yan, but before he could take it, an arrow suddenly struck.
call out!
Zhi!
The arrow pierced the girl's neck, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Enemy attack!"
Huiyan was shocked: "They are from the Hongyan tribe!"
Huiyan's warning was useless, because the enemy's attack had already begun, and all kinds of arrows were fired like a violent storm.
"Don't panic! Don't run around!"
Sun Mo grabbed Lu Zhiruo's arm, pulled her to his side, then held a wooden shield with one hand and leaned against the big tree with his back.
This way you don't have to worry about the enemies behind you.
Some tribesmen became furious when they saw the death of their tribesmen, and rushed out directly in the direction of the arrows to fight with the enemy.
"Sun Mo, it's over!"
Gu Xiuxun smiled bitterly and pointed an arrow at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo's pupils shrank sharply, because this turned out to be a bronze arrow cluster, and it was obviously coated with poison.
damn it!
Has the Red Rock Tribe entered the Bronze Age?
What a slap in the face!
"Huiyan, command, don't let everyone run around!"
Sun Mo was an outsider after all, and at this critical moment, no one paid heed to his orders.
"They are not running around, they are fighting!"
Limestone explained.
When encountering an enemy surprise attack, is it possible to escape without fighting?
"..."
Sun Mo was convinced and really wanted to leave these primitive people alone and let them fend for themselves: "Can't we gather together, break through in one direction, and then fight back?"
"Everyone rush this way!"
The gray rock roars.
Sun Mo breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. Hui Yan still had some brains. The direction he chose and the density of the arrows were not high, indicating that there were fewer troops in ambush.
"Bai Fu, Xiu Xun, protect my flanks!"
Sun Mo ordered, raised his long bow, and fired an arrow towards the redwood crown in the distance.
call out!
The arrow shot out of the air, and in an instant, a primitive man wearing red animal skin fell down and plunged into the soil.
This time, even if he was not shot to death, he would still fall to death.
Damn it!
Going to war with someone who can smelt bronze arrow clusters, isn't this looking for death?
etc!
Being able to enter the Bronze Age means that there are wise men in the tribe, so they can't be as reckless as Huiyan when fighting, right?
"Is there a trap?"
Sun Mo frowned and shouted: "Hui Yan, change the direction and charge!"
"What's wrong?"
Huiyan doesn't understand, there are obviously fewer attacks here!
"Prophet, they discovered it!"
In the dense forest, a Hongyan man was shocked when he heard this.
"Start attacking!"
The Great Seer of Hongyan glanced at the unconcerned natives and then landed on Sun Mo.
interesting!
Wow! Wow!
More than twenty people suddenly appeared from their hiding place.
This is what the prophet ordered. He said that if you show your body, it can greatly damage the enemy's morale.
Huiyan and the others were indeed frightened. They were at a loss for a moment and were overwhelmed by the rain of arrows.
"Come this way!"
Huiyan burst into laughter and took the lead in changing direction.
"Xiuxun, Sister Jin, help me take care of Zhiruo."
Sun Mo's firepower was fully activated, and he fired a long bow quickly, like a repeating crossbow. At the same time, he moved away from Jin Mujie and the others.
If he attacks so fiercely, he will inevitably encounter a firestorm. If he doesn't leave, Jin Mujie and the others will be harmed.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Feathered arrows flew out one after another, hitting the Hongyan tribesmen, causing them to fall down like boiled dumplings.
"Be careful, that guy's archery skills are very good!"
"Shoot him first!"
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
The Red Rock Man roared.
Sun Mo was immediately hit hard.
"teacher!"
Seeing the arrows flying around Sun Mo's head, Lu Zhiruo shouted anxiously.
Huiyan and his party broke out, but counterattack?
Everyone has been tortured by other people's tactics and has lost their morale!
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo shouted: "With this morale, do you want to stay here and wait to die?"
boom!
Huiyan punched the tree next to him: "Let's go!"
After a while, the temporary camp became quiet, with only some faint wails and a strong smell of blood filling the air.
The Red Rock Man appeared, and instead of finishing the attack, he bandaged up the injured.
It’s not that the people of Hongyan are kind, but they want to take these injured people alive to the volcano altar and offer them as sacrifices to the God of Fire.
"Great Prophet, why don't you pursue me?"
There was a bald tribesman who didn't understand.
"If you chase me now, they will fight like a trapped beast and fight to the death. It is better to let them continue to run away and consume energy!"
The Great Prophet smiled: "They have even lost most of their supplies, so it must be even more difficult for them."
…
It was so dark that it was hard to see, so the team had no choice but to stop.
In order not to be discovered, no one even lit a bonfire.
"How many people are missing?"
Sun Mo came to Hui Yan's side.
"Sixteen!"
Hui Yan was in pain and hit his head against the tree.
Sun Mo grabbed his collar: "Don't hit him for now. What should we do next? Should we continue or go home?"
"Of course we have to continue. How can we appease the anger of the God of Fire without throwing ice rocks into the volcano?"
Gray Bird snorted coldly: "For the future of the tribe, we will die even if we all die."
"good!"
When Hui Yan heard this, his eyes immediately became determined: "The future of the tribe rests on our shoulders."
"We still have witchcraft, we can definitely win!"
Gray Stone waved his fist.
When Sun Mo saw the enthusiastic expressions of these people, he didn't bother to argue.
"What should we do? Continue to die?"
Liu Yuzhi felt that there was no chance of this trip.
"if not?"
Sun Mo was also worried.
"Go back in separate ways. When these groups are destroyed, you will be the great prophet of the tribe. When the time comes, let's move!"
Liu Yuzhi suggested.
"What if the condition for clearing the level is to quell a volcanic eruption?"
Zhang Wentao questioned.
"I think we should continue a civilization!"
Liu Yuzhi analyzed: "Throwing ice stones is so stupid."
"How do you explain witchcraft? This is a black and white game and cannot be judged by common sense."
Zhang Wentao snorted coldly.
"Looking at the situation tomorrow, I always feel that the enemy's offensive cannot end like this."
Zhou Zerui was very curious. The Red Rock Tribe was obviously more powerful than the Gray Rock Tribe, so why didn't they be destroyed?
The next day, the team hit the road again.
We were on tenterhooks all day, but we didn't encounter any surprise attacks until evening.
"Did you get rid of them?"
Hui Yan was relieved and told everyone to camp, rest, eat well, and recuperate. At this rate, they would arrive at the volcano altar at noon the day after tomorrow.
…
Deep in the dense forest, a hunting group from the Gray Rock Tribe is lurking over.
