Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 38 Preparation

Shao Xuan put the knife given by Lao Ke on the newly made stone table in the house, and Caesar stared at the knife on the table from two meters away. Since it sniffed the sniffing knife at close range just now, it has become cautious, and its eyes are full of precautions, keeping a certain distance from the blade, just not close.

Shao Xuan reached out and touched the blade, which was not as cool as a stone. For decades, the strong murderous aura on the blade had settled down. After many times of polishing, the blade became smaller due to wear and tear. On the notched blade, it becomes smooth and sharp after being re-sharpened.

With a sigh, Shao Xuan carefully used the leather case to cover the knife. Lao Ke gave himself his precious knife, not afraid of losing it.

Putting the knife aside, Shao Xuan brought a slate. The stone of the slate was only inferior, and Shao Xuan specially brought it back to use as a writing board. How many stone tools are planned to be built are listed one by one and written on the slate.

In addition to spearheads and stone arrows, Shao Xuan also planned to make a few stone balls to carry, so that flying stone ropes or tripping animal ropes could be used.

For three consecutive days, Shao Xuan polished stone tools at Lao Ke's place and listened to Lao Ke telling him about hunting.

Lao Ke didn't say anything about his glorious deeds, and Shao Xuan didn't ask any questions. When Lao Ke wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.

After grinding the stone tools, Lao Ke asked Shao Xuan, "Do you know why people who live up the mountainside rarely go fishing?"

Shao Xuan has always wondered about this question. Since everyone found that there are fish in the river, why are many people willing to go out and risk their lives to hunt.

It stands to reason that pulling fish is so simple, as long as you master the skills, you don't have to work hard at all. Moreover, as far as Shao Xuan knew, not everyone who lived on the mountainside had enough food.

But in fact, Shao Xuan also saw a few elderly people with limited mobility come down the mountain to join the fishing ranks. He did not see the children on the mountain participating, not to mention the soldiers. Except for those who were in charge of defense on the river bank, he basically did not see them. Who used to grab fish from the people near the foot of the mountain.

Lao Ke raised his head and looked out the window. In that direction you can see the mountains in the distance.

"Because of the ancestral teaching." Lao Ke said, "Nine hundred years ago, the leader and the witch left a commandment at the same time, as long as they are able-bodied warriors, they must go out to participate in hunting, even when food is sufficient, they must not indulge in comfort, and must not slack off. You must do everything possible to improve yourself!"

The promotion of totem warriors is not easy. When going out hunting, after going through life-and-death struggles, it is possible to upgrade from the primary totem warrior to the intermediate warrior level, and it is even more difficult to upgrade. Like Mai and the others, every time Almost every time I went out hunting, I was mentally prepared to stay in the mountains.

In the whole mountain, the people who live in the area near the foot of the mountain have the worst overall strength, and it also shows that these people's mentality is relatively lazy. But even so, Shao Xuan didn't see anyone showing reluctance every time he hunted. Everyone was very active, even though they were able to catch enough fish now.

Many warriors on the mountain did not let their children go down the mountain to go fishing, and probably did not want their children to form a thought that "the acquisition of food is actually very simple". From the teachings passed down from generation to generation, they only need to know that if they want food, they must go into dangerous places and fight against the beasts in the mountains and forests to get it.

When there is pressure, there is motivation to improve.

"A warrior who has not been tested by hunting is not a real warrior!" Lao Ke concluded.

It sounds cruel, but understandable.

Shao Xuan remembered the mural he once saw on the wall of the stone room in the cave.

And the last sentence: "One day, we will return to our homeland. The glory is still there, and the fire of the flames will never be extinguished."

After coming out of Ke and returning to his wooden house, Shao Xuan lightly tapped the stone tools polished today, sorted them into categories, and put them together for the stone tools polished a few days ago.

The stone arrows that Shao Xuan polished by himself were different from those of Lang Ga. The body of the arrowheads tended to be more streamlined, with strip-shaped wings and slightly straight backs. In addition, some three-wing stone arrowheads were polished. Different from the stone tools used for training, the stone tools to be brought for hunting have Shao Xuan's name engraved on them, which is what every hunting warrior in the tribe would do.

After arranging the stone tools, Shao Xuan looked back and saw Caesar squatting beside him with his head down, yawning, his ears drooping in a slack manner, and at first glance he looked like a lazy dog ​​lying at the door of his house, no wonder Now Lang Ga and the others don't look at Caesar anymore, they don't look at the prey anymore, they just ignore it. Caesar is too unchallenging and has no wolf character, so they are not interested.

It's just that when the time comes to go out hunting with the team, what will Caesar do in about twenty days?

It was impossible to stay at home, and no one looked at Shao Xuan and felt worried.

Send it up the mountain to ask Wu to help? No, that old god stick can't take care of anyone when he's busy.

Shao Xuan even thought about sending Caesar to the cave, but finally dismissed the idea. If this is put in the hole, Caesar will be completely free from temperament, and the children will not be able to control it.

After thinking about several candidates, Shao Xuan decided to let Lao Ke help watch, and, at Lao Ke's place, Caesar was also calmer.

Caesar is familiar with Lao Ke's grinding stone tools for so long. Besides, Shao Xuan also believes that Lao Ke can take good care of Caesar.

So, on the third day after the hunting team that went out came back, the people who stayed behind also got ready to set off.

Shao Xuan took Lao Ke's knife and the stone tools he built, and passed by Lao Ke's house, leaving Caesar at Lao Ke's side, leaving behind a lot of fish and meat. Not small.

"Stay here to watch the door, and I'll pick you up when I get back."

When walking up the mountain with the equipment on his back, Shao Xuan could still hear Caesar's humming sound, which sounded pitiful... more and more like a dog.

According to the previous agreement with Lang Ga, Shao Xuan went to the mountainside to find Lang Ga first, and then Lang Ga took him up the mountain. Before the hunting team set off, there had to be a mobilization meeting. Shao Xuan did not know many programs, and someone had to bring it. OK, otherwise it's easy to make mistakes.

When Shao Xuan arrived, Lang Ga was already waiting at the door, and several large animal skin bags and mesh bags were filled with tools.

"Let's go." Lang Ga walked forward with his equipment on his back.

When they followed Lang Ga up the mountain, many people saw Shao Xuan and were surprised. They didn't expect Shao Xuan to go hunting with him this time.

"Afei won't participate?" Shao Xuan asked Lang Ga.

Shao Xuan saw Fei's figure just now, but the other party didn't bring any equipment, and he didn't intend to go up the mountain. He looked at Shao Xuan with resentment.

"He," Lang Ga lowered his voice, "the last time he was hunting, that kid was disobedient and made a mess. This time Mai and the others didn't let Fei follow him, so he stayed at home to reflect, and he'll talk about it next time, anyway, this time it's Don't think about it. So Ah Xuan, you must obey the arrangement when hunting with the team."

"I know." Shao Xuan replied.

On the way, I met Ang and a few others who had a good relationship with Lang Ga, and we all went up the mountain together.

The mobilization meeting was still in the place where the last sacrifice was held, but this time it did not set off the entire fire pit.

Wu was wearing a gray-white cloak and was standing by the fire pit with a cane, talking to the leader, Ao. When Shao Xuan looked over there, Wu also glanced here, and was stunned when he saw Shao Xuan. Obviously, he remembered Shao Xuan this time, and he did not expect that Shao Xuan would participate in this hunting operation.
