back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 128
When they heard about the so-called power of the sky for the first time, all members of the Salt Tribe scoffed at it, but after these few days of immersion, they tasted the incomparable food of the Dahe Tribe, and saw advanced weapons and tools. All a little shaken.

The hunting performance of the Great River Tribe today was impressive, and they couldn't help but think: this might be the manifestation of the divine power of the sky.

In fact, praying for a good hunting harvest was one of the purposes of their sacrifice to Xue Ling, so the great harvest of the Dahe Tribe made them immediately have such an association.

Why did those two mammoths go to the ambush circle of the Great River Tribe?It must be the guidance of the sky!
They began to face up to the existence of the spirits in the sky, and once they figured it out, they didn't find it difficult to accept. It was not uncommon for tiger tribes and cave lion tribes to have their own spirits.

Black Bear is very troubled.

He hadn't forgotten the conversation that night.

Now he is a priest.

Hei Xiong, who has just taken over the post of priest, wants to do something.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that it should not be too drastic. The sky said that snow is part of the sky, and he still had doubts about it. The saying that snow is the source of all things has long been rooted in his cognition. Even more so.

It is true that their ancestors converted once, but that was because the cave bears were extinct, and snow spirits appeared in due course to fill the gap in their beliefs.

Now the people of the tribe are used to offering sacrifices to Xue Ling, and Xue Ling has not abandoned them. The habits and cognitions that have been developed for a long time cannot be changed just by saying.

Even Black Bear himself can hardly take this step.

By the time he found Cloud, the young chief was losing his temper again.

Yun has been in a bad mood recently and has been particularly irritable. Hei Xiong knew it well and it was no big deal until he saw a face that shouldn't be here.

"Beaver, what are you doing here if you're not guarding in the cave?"

Not long after Beaver arrived, he heard that Black Bear had become a new priest, so he congratulated him.

The black bear looked at the gloomy cloud, then at the equally angry beaver, and frowned, "But what happened in the cave?"

The beaver said bitterly: "Don't mention it, we were deceived by the crows!"

……

"Woooooooo..."

"Woooooooo..."

"Cry, cry, cry! You know how to cry! If you want to cry, go away and cry, don't follow me!"

The crow turned around and gave the leopard skin and liver a hard look.

The two brothers were weeping, with tears streaming down their faces. After being yelled at by the crow, they didn't dare to cry loudly, but the sadness and despair that kept pouring up in their hearts made them unable to help themselves, and they still sobbed in a low voice.

Leopard Pi wiped his nose, choked up and said, "I have already said that we shouldn't do things for the priest without permission. Cloud doesn't listen to me, and you don't listen to me either. Pull me..."

Leopard Gan was even more aggrieved: "At least you still know that it was Yun's idea, I always thought it was Hei Xiong's idea... I was simply deceived by you, I am innocent!"

The crow curled his lips and said: "Things have already happened, what's the use of complaining about it? Can it be eaten? Can it make you live another day?"

Hearing this, thinking that he was under the most severe curse, destined to be unable to survive this cold weather, the two of them felt sad, and Dou Da's sadness slipped down the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

The leopard skin and leopard liver are still very young. This is their first time participating in winter hunting. Who would have thought that they would be exiled without even seeing the shadow of the giant beast. Is there a sadder story than this in the world?

"I can't survive anyway, can't I complain a few words?"

Leopard Liver was wronged.

Crow is the oldest of the three, relatively calmest, said coldly: "You want to die or live is your business, I want to live anyway."

The two looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, and asked, "Can you find a way to lift Xue Ling's curse?"

"If I knew, I would be a priest, and it's my turn to get the black bear?"

"Then how do you live? My lord priest said that the heavier the snow, the more snow on the ground, the stronger the power of the curse. It hasn't snowed much yet, and I feel that the curse is working. Don't you feel cold and hungry?"

Leopard Gan nodded repeatedly, he had the same feeling as Leopard Pi.

"You've got to the point." The crow said in a very serious tone, "The heavier the snow, the more snow on the ground, the stronger the power of the curse, so I will go to a place without snow! As long as there is no snow, The curse will never take effect!"

"A place without snow?" Leopard Liver and Leopard Skin were startled, "Is there really such a place? It doesn't snow even in cold weather?"

"I don't know. The only thing I know is that if you stay here, you will die. Those mountains were covered with snow a long time ago. You know that?"

The crow pointed to the towering mountains in the distance. With the cold moonlight, only the outline of the distant mountains could be seen clearly, but the colors could not be distinguished.

The two nodded in agreement.

"Haven't you ever wondered why?" said the crow, "Why those mountains were covered with snow early, but we haven't had snow here yet."

Leopard Gan thought for a while, then he understood: "Because it's colder there!"

"That's right, it's colder there, so I'm going to go in the opposite direction and follow the beast. The beast doesn't go where there is no food."

The two suddenly realized that hope was rekindled in their desperate hearts. Survival is the instinct of animals. If they can live, who would be willing to die?
At the same time, he felt puzzled: "Then, are we going the wrong way?"

The crow was obviously heading towards the snow mountain.

"There is no going back. We have nothing now, neither food nor tools, so we can't go far. So before we leave, we should go back to the cave and bring sufficient supplies before we start."

"Go back to the cave?!" The two were shocked, "But we have been exiled! We are savages!"

"Yes, we were exiled, but this happened in the river valley camp, and the tribesmen in the cave didn't know about it." The crow showed a sly smile, "We just said that the food in the camp was eaten up, and the weapons were also consumed. It’s all over, Yun sent us back to get it, will they not give it to us?”

Works!
The leopard liver and leopard skin showed joy, but after thinking about it, they felt uneasy again: "We cheated the tribal supplies, Yun will be furious when he finds out, and he will definitely send someone to arrest us."

They knew about Yun's temper.

The crow didn't take it seriously: "Oh! What face is he so angry? He clearly instructed us to dig the new sacrificial pit, and we were the ones who were punished in the end. He has nothing to do with it! Whenever he feels a little ashamed, he should turn a blind eye. Close your eyes and let us go."

The two of them didn't talk any more, even if Yun didn't miss their old relationship, they had to do the same.
