back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 192 Punishment
When the stars were shining, Chi Yan felt unprecedented peace in his heart, his chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down, and the restlessness and worries accumulated in his heart during this period were also relieved and healed.

Maybe he's right...

He couldn't help thinking about it.

Chi Yan withdrew his gaze, his expression became very serious, and said: "I am the priest of the fire spirit, no matter what, this will not change. If you want me to lead the people to abandon the fire spirit and pray to the sky, I'm afraid I can't agree .I can not do it."

Zhang Tian fell silent, staring at the other party's stubborn face, not knowing what to say for a while.

what happened?He was obviously shaken just now, why did he suddenly strengthen his faith again?

"However," Chi Yan continued, "I won't stop you from doing this. After you meet my people, you can try to convince them, if you can."

Zhang Tian grinned.

There is nothing that can’t be done, but it’s just a matter of spending a little more talking, and there is no need to spend any more talking. Lin Yu has the ability to control flames. According to the tradition of the tribe on the mountain, she is the high priest. Isn't it easy for people to turn to the embrace of the sky?

"Okay, then it's settled."

This stubborn fire spirit priest has already made a concession. There may be some stubborn people like him in the mountain tribe. Zhang Tian didn't expect to convert everyone's beliefs. He can accept this result.

"There is another thing." Zhang Tian said, "Master Wizard is very kind, she is willing to intercede for Ah Shui, and I hope you can accept her again."

"Although Ah Shui acted a little recklessly, she was originally thinking for the sake of the tribe. These days, following Mr. Wizard, she has deeply understood and reflected on her mistakes, and has learned some methods of healing. It's not a small loss, isn't it? Of course, this is not a requirement."

Up to now, only these words were translated by Zhang Tian without embellishment. This is indeed Lin Yu's idea.

Zhang Tian is also happy to see it. After many days of nurturing, Ah Shui is now a devout believer in the sky. Her return to the mountain tribe will be beneficial and harmless for changing the beliefs of the mountain people.

Chi Yan was a little hesitant. He knew that Ah Shui's starting point was not bad, but his position was different. Before she let the savage go, the two had argued many times.

Ah Shui has learned the methods of the wizard to heal the sick and wounded?

Aniu, Amu and others spread the word about the miraculous resurrection of the wizard from the dead. After witnessing the master wizard manipulating the flames, no one doubted the authenticity of these stories.

If Ah Shui learns as many skills as a wizard, even if he only has one finger, it will be amazing!
Chi Yan weighed it for a while, and immediately said that for the sake of Mr. Wizard, he could forgive her recklessness.

"But she did something wrong and deserves to be punished. Well... how about this, Mr. Wizard, while you are on the mountain, she will serve you, just like she used to serve the high priest. You can send her to do anything , until you leave, how about it?"

Are you sure this is a punishment, not a reward?

Shrewd enough, you want Ah Shui to follow Mr. Wizard and learn more tricks, don't you?
Zhang Tian complained in his heart, and translated Chi Yan's words to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu readily agreed.She understands Chi Yan's intentions, but she doesn't need to beat around the bush. She is happy to teach the primitive people the pharmacological knowledge of plants. Calming forest fires is just a temporary crisis, and knowledge will allow their culture to last longer.

Go back to the west side of the camp.

People have had enough fun, are exhausted, and return to their respective living areas one after another.

The heat of the day still remained at night, and the flames released heat continuously. The small house was hot and stuffy, and most people chose to sleep outside.

The six patrol squads are on guard in their respective areas, mainly guarding the sheep pens. No beast dares to provoke hundreds of Twolegs, but they will try their best to steal the sheep.

Thanks to the wizard's superpowers, and the excellent performance of the food team, dance team, music team and story team, almost all the people from the mountain participated in the daily routine of looking up at the sky, and even a few sneaky people mixed in The haunted mountain people.

The faith value has risen to 520, a very loving value, which complements the atmosphere tonight.

According to Chi Yan, the volcano is very active and may erupt at any time. It is not too late. Now that Chi Shi has been found, we will go up the mountain tomorrow.

This means that it will take four to five days for them to cross the mountains covered by primeval forests, even with hunters who are familiar with the terrain leading the way.

Besides Zhang Tian and Lin Yu, Tiger Head, Tiger Claw, Pine Needle, Gu, Crow and Ah Shui were also accompanying him.

Xiao yelled to go too, but Zhang Tian held him down.

"You have to stay. After I leave, you have to lead everyone to look up at the sky. You have to tell the people down the mountain more stories about our ancestors. There are still so many stories to tell, don't you? Leopard Liver will translate for you. Pu Jie and the other five mothers are full of wisdom, looking for opportunities to tell them Tai Chi gossip... Do you remember?"

"Of course!"

"Well, I see that you have been playing with girls all the time recently, and I thought you had forgotten all the knowledge I taught you!"

Xiao immediately blushed and denied loudly: "I didn't! I and them...we were just exchanging knowledge with them! Absolutely no holding hands, no cuddling!"

Zhang Tian smiled, and then instructed the chiefs of each tribe.

In fact, there is no need for him to ask, the chiefs know what supplies each tribe needs to replenish.

"How far do we have to go to reach Taoyuan?" Huabao, the chief of the Youxu tribe, asked.

Zhang Tian took a deep look at him, and the leopard's eyes dodged a little.

The question itself is enough to say something.

Migration is not an easy task, even though they have made sufficient preparations before departure, they are also walking on flat roads, and it is still extremely hard to travel long distances under the scorching sun.

Especially older people like leopards, snake mothers, seedlings, etc., feel extra strenuous.

It's good for them to be able to stop and catch their breath.

However, once a person stops, the tension all over his body will dissipate, and the inertia will take advantage of it.

Zhang Tian knew very well that among the six tribes, the Youcao tribe and the Juyan tribe were the least determined.The reason why they were willing to migrate was not only because they had received guidance from their ancestors in their dreams, but the main reason was that they had spent an extremely difficult cold day, and they had personally felt the impact of the colder climate.

They are motivated by the situation, but not mentally prepared for it.

So when they came to this grassland with abundant meadows and prey, and came to the foot of the lush mountains, if it weren't for the fact that this is the territory of the people from the mountains, Zhang Tian guessed, they might choose to stay.

Zhang Tian didn't pour chicken soup or blood, but just said truthfully: "There is still a long way to go, and there may not be such an opportunity in the future. Take a good rest. If you are missing something, try to make up for it."

Early the next morning, after having breakfast and bringing enough food, a group of people came to the central square.

The people on the mountain and the dozen or so people down the mountain headed by Bog have been waiting for a long time.

Chi Yan did not forget the agreement last night, walked up to Ah Shui, and said, "Ah Shui, you must thank the wizard for your kindness. From now on, you must serve the wizard like a high priest until your sins are redeemed." So far, this is your punishment, understand?"

Ah Shui nodded in agreement, praising Mr. Wizard for his kindness.

Zhang Tian told her about this last night, and she was overjoyed.

How can this be regarded as punishment?It is my honor to serve the wizard.Ah Shui thought to herself, she has long been Lin Yu's "fan girl".

Before entering the mountain, the oracle in gorgeous clothes reappeared and smeared the ocher red paste specially made by the tribe at the bottom of the mountain for everyone.

"This is a holy potion." Pu Jie said, "If you apply it, you will receive the blessings of the prophets of all ages. Wild animals will not dare to approach, and mosquitoes will not be able to bite. No matter what you do, you will surely succeed!"

Isn't it just a poultice to prevent mosquitoes? It's so lofty...

In order to make the poultice worthy of such a lofty rhetoric, she even mixed ocher powder into it. Ocher is the most common mineral pigment in primitive society, and ocher red is naturally the color most often endowed with sacred properties.

There are many and poisonous mosquitoes in the forest, especially in summer, it is necessary to do a good job of preventing mosquitoes.

Ah Shui served Lin Yu very attentively, no matter how Lin Yu shied away, Ah Shui insisted that it was her job, and in a blink of an eye, he painted the wizard into a little red man.

Zhang Tian smeared it on his face, neck, arms, and legs in turn, and suddenly smelled a foul smell. Thinking of what Pu Jie called "sacred potion", an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.

"What did you add to this? Why does it stink?"

"Does it stink?"

Pu Jie leaned closer and sniffed it, then said casually, "Maybe it's because I added too much sheep feces."

"..."

Zhang Tian heard that Lin Yu's teeth were about to gnaw.

……

A group of people hurried on their way without stopping.

Passing through one piece of dense forest after another, and climbing one mountain after another, fortunately, the mountain is not too steep, and the mountain road is not too difficult to walk, but the altitude is relatively high, and it is easy to get breathless and dizzy when walking in a hurry.

If it was Lin Yu half a year ago, she would definitely not be able to keep up with everyone, but after six months of training, her body has already adapted to this intensity of marching.

For four days they walked in a hurry, and the traces left by the volcanic eruption can be seen everywhere.

Passing through the canyons formed by the collapse of volcanic lava tunnels and the erosion of thousands of years of water flow, although these canyons are not as deep as the canyons near the river valley camp, they can clearly see the destructive potential of the volcanic eruption, revealing a strong atmosphere. The sense of primordial prehistoric.

Passing by a piece of beautiful barrier lakes, the magma erupted from volcanoes in different periods blocked the river water during the flow, forming these picturesque barrier lakes, which are scattered in different river sections like pearls, and become animals' wild animals. Heaven.

"We're going in the wrong direction." Borg questioned, "People on the mountain, what tricks are you playing?"

"Use your brains, people from the mountain." Ah Meng replied, "Our people have moved away from the previous camp, so of course we can't go back to the old way."

Similar quarrels often occur between the people on the mountain and the people on the bottom of the mountain. The two tribes obviously have the same culture, but they seem to be incompatible with each other, and they will quarrel after a few words.

Archaeological culture refers to the remains of human activities with common characteristics that exist within a certain period of time and within a certain range. No matter how much the people below the mountain and the people on the mountain look down on each other, this cultural bond always keeps them together. , inseparable, maybe they will be dug up after 1 years, and they still have to be judged to be brother tribes!

"Coming!"

Although there is still a distance from the prairie, Zhang Tian and Lin Yu can feel that the ground is beginning to slope downwards. Compared with the steeper terrain at the eastern foot of Daxing'an Mountains, the slope at the western foot is much gentler.

Not long after, everyone was surrounded by tall grass.

Zhang Tian could almost only see Lin Yu's braids and shoulders between the feathery grass tips and the low-hanging flower spikes.

Among the crowd, only Borg is still so conspicuous, his big fierce head protruding abruptly on the tall grass, fearing that even the beasts will be startled when they see it.

Zhang Tian and Lin Yu have also passed through this kind of tall grass area before. The tall grass swaying in the warm wind is like another dense forest, but these tall grasses will not stop their progress, they lie down gently Falling at the feet of travelers, when they left, they stood up tenaciously, and then swayed in the wind.

The monotonous scenery of one green grass stalk after another, the uniform grass waves, the regular pace of everyone, the hot sun near noon...all these make Lin Yu feel tired and sleepy, and drowsy.

She walked mechanically, following in the footsteps of her predecessors, she was awake, but not fully awake, the recurring slender grass stalks gradually blurred and disappeared in her vision, she patted her face heavily, pulled herself together, and turned to Observe other plants.

Tallgrass usually grows in very wet areas, which are also a haven for grasses a meter or two tall.

She saw the giant bulbs of bluesweed, sansevieria, and clusters of fescue, all kinds of flowering plants and broad-leaved herbs, interspersed with yellow eucalyptus and daturas shaped like large white trumpets, and There are irises, lilies, turnips, buttercups... competing to grow wildly.

This awakened the memory hidden in her heart, as if she had returned to her student days, struggling to remember the characteristics of each plant photo.

This long-lost feeling really made her sober up a little.

This is not the first time for her to come to the grassland. Before crossing, she was a frequent visitor here, but the grasslands of the primitive era are obviously much wilder and more beautiful than the grasslands of later generations.

I don't know how long they walked, but suddenly, Ah Meng and other people on the mountain uttered a cry: "Woo la la! Woo la la!"

A moment later, the same cry came from afar.

Standing on tiptoe, Zhang Tian found that the large meadow in front of him had collapsed, and a group of people hiding in it appeared and rushed over excitedly.

"call!"

He and Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Hill tribe, finally here.
