Under the prayers of the clan leader and some elders, all the young and middle-aged men revealed solemn expressions and prayed. Many women and children also rushed over and prayed silently, praying that their relatives who had gone hunting could return safely.
The mountain range was too dangerous. Leaving the village guarded by the willow tree, the outside world would be a completely different world. It was filled with terrifying birds of prey and giant beasts.
Just like that, the strongest group of people in the village carried their huge bows and broadswords and set off. As they walked into the mountains and rivers, they were immediately greeted by the aura of the vast wilderness.
Watching the hunting team leave, the old chief Shi Yunfeng led the group of children to the grass at the entrance of the village and sat down cross-legged."Alright, you bunch of frisky monkeys should study hard.”
The group of children immediately frowned and dispirited. They sat around unwillingly like withered leaves.
"Grandpa Chief, those bird characters and turtle characters are as complicated as ghost talismans. It's really difficult to learn.”
"That's right, it's not as useful as the archery skills that Abba taught me!”
The group of children all had bitter faces and were very resistant.
"You bunch of kids are really unreasonable. Bone Text is a symbol that tyrannical Archaic Descendants naturally manifest on their bones. It contains a mysterious and unfathomable power. Once you learn, you will be many times stronger than your parents.”The old chief was disappointed that they did not live up to his expectations and scolded them.
"Grandpa Chief, please demonstrate the power of the Bone Text for us.”A slightly older child said.
"Little guy, come here." The clan leader shouted into the distance.
After the little guy finished chasing after the Rainbow Sparrow, he was doing his best to pull on a big yellow dog's tail. When he heard this, he turned his head in a daze, and after letting go of his hand, he ran over with his butt shaking. He blinked his large bright eyes, and said,"Yiya yiya, what's the matter with Grandpa Chief?”
"Use the Bone Text I taught you.”Shi Yunfeng said.
"Alright," The little guy was very obedient. He stretched out his two small hands and closed his mouth. His entire body continuously exerted force, and his little face was flushed red from holding it in.
With a buzz, a light appeared in his palm, and a strange text appeared. It seemed to be cast from metal, and it had a metallic luster and texture. Soon, the other hand appeared.
The little guy took two steps forward and picked up a bluestone that was even taller than him.
"So powerful!" The group of children cried out in alarm. That was only a little fellow who was more than a year old. How could he lift such a big rock?
"Little guy, you used all your strength, right?”The older child teased him.
"Yiya, yes, all my strength has been used up.”The little guy threw down the green stone and sat on the ground. He laughed without a care in the world. He was very pure, and the symbols on his palm quickly dimmed and disappeared.
"Grandpa Chief, is this the mysterious Bone Text power that you have been researching for more than ten years?”The group of children's eyes lit up, completely different from their lack of interest not long ago.
"Don't get too excited. These will only lead you on your way. They are far inferior to the heavenly bone text that appeared in ancient legends.”The old man nodded and then shook his head.
"Grandpa Chief, tell us about the outside world.”The group of children looked hopeful.
Everyone in Stone Village knew that when the old clan member was young, he had gone to the distant ends of the earth with a dozen powerful clan members in the village and wandered the outside world.
However, more than ten years ago, only two people came back covered in blood. One of them died not long after, and only Shi Yunfeng survived.
All these years, he had been studying the mysterious Bone Text. From time to time, he would experiment with the strong people in the village. These children clearly knew that their parents, who were as strong as tigers and dragons, would let out waves of heart-shaking howls in the stone courtyard every time they were called over, causing these children to develop resistance and reverence at an early age.
It wasn't until the old chief's research had slowed down in recent years that the villagers were no longer afraid. Moreover, the little one who grew up eating the milk of hundreds of beasts and the rice of hundreds of families was adopted by him and became the best candidate for research.
" The outside world…" The old man revealed a look of recollection."The world is too big, vast and boundless. From one region to another, it can easily reach millions of miles. No one knows how vast it really is. A person can walk on foot for a lifetime and still can't walk out of a region. It was very difficult for humans to communicate between different regions because it was too dangerous. There were many powerful species on the earth, terrifying and mysterious. Even a tribe with hundreds of thousands of people or a magnificent city could be destroyed by a few primordial strains overnight. Of course, there were also unimaginably powerful humans. Their combat strength was comparable to that of other species, and their divine might was unparalleled. They could be called the prodigies of the human race.”
The group of children was filled with awe and admiration. At the same time, they were also very curious about the unknown world. Someone asked,"Are there any natural treasures and immortal medicines that can make a person reborn overnight? How powerful is the most powerful Heaven's Favorite of the human race?”
The old man smiled and said,"If you want to know, you have to become stronger first."”
"If we can grasp the mysterious power of the Bone Text, will we be able to explore the various regions of the world?”Some of the children revealed looks of longing.
Shi Yunfeng patted a child's head and said,"Not to mention the other regions, even in our region, it would be amazing if there was a strange person who could cross half of the territory!”
All the children were stunned.
"All I can do is to lead you on the road. It's up to you how far you'll go in the future. What I teach you shouldn't be worse than what children of the same age outside learn.”The old man's eyes revealed a strange light as he touched a strange jade bone.
The group of children sat around the old chief and finally calmed down. They began to listen to the teachings seriously and only left at noon.
"It's too difficult. The clan leader actually said that it would take a few years for a few people to be able to absorb a small amount of bone culture into their bodies, and most people might never succeed.”
"But Xiao Budian is only as big as Little Bean, and he actually did it.”
The little guy innocently blinked his large eyes, and then went to pull the big yellow dog's tail. The big yellow dog started barking even more innocently.
The red sun was setting in the west. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire Stone Village was dyed with a layer of pale golden luster. In the distance, apes were crying and tigers were roaring, but the large number of stone houses here were as sacred and peaceful as an ancient temple.
Dozens of people appeared on the horizon, leaving long shadows on the ground as the setting sun dragged them. Their bodies were gilded by the sunset glow, making them look extremely tall and strong. Almost every one of them was dragging a huge beast as they returned with a full load.
"I'm back!" The group of women and children who had been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time cheered. The uneasiness and fear in their hearts disappeared at once and they shouted loudly.
"Abba and the others have returned safely!"
"Heavens, there are actually so many prey. What a rare harvest!”
The hunt was very successful. Dozens of adult men had made some gains. Among the prey were huge Dragon-Horned Elephants, one-legged Kui Beasts that looked like oxen, and flying pythons that were as thick as buckets and had wings…
The elders in the village were shocked. These creatures were usually very difficult to deal with. Some of them could be called ferocious beasts, but today, so many of them had been killed and stained with blood. It was really unexpected.
For example, the Dragon Horned Elephant. Its body was as hard as iron, and even iron spears could not pierce through it. Its pair of dragon horns were as sharp as drill knives, and could easily crush boulders. The Kui Beast's voice was like thunder. If it got close, it could kill people. As for the flying python with giant wings on its ribs, it was a killer of the forest. It could suddenly pounce down from a mountain and was extremely terrifying.
There were a few more powerful creatures among the prey, such as the red two-headed fire rhinoceros and the impure Pi Xiu…These were all veritable ferocious beasts. After discovering them, they should have avoided them, but now they were hunted down. It was seriously illogical!
"We were really lucky this time. We returned with a full load, but no one was injured.”The leader of the hunting team, Shi Linghu, laughed heartily as he explained to the tribe leader and the villagers. During the past few nights, there were super beasts passing through the mountain range. The earth shook and the mountains shook. Many mountain beasts were trampled to death or injured. During the day, they chased along and killed many heavily injured beasts. These were powerful creatures that the villagers usually had to hide from.
"Some of the footprints in the mountains are shaped like human feet, but they are really too big. They are nearly a hundred meters long!”
"That big?" The villagers cried out in alarm. This was truly shocking news.
Even the elders in the village could not help but gasp when they heard this. They were even more certain that something unusual had happened in the depths of the mountain range, attracting some primordial strains near the vast Great Desolate.
No matter what, this was a great harvest. The clansmen were all filled with joy. Stone Village was filled with the laughter of children, and the atmosphere was joyous.
Chief Shi Yunfeng led the crowd to the willow tree. After carrying dozens of beast corpses to the front, he placed all the blood-stained beasts on the stone platform. Clearly, this was a large altar.
