If there was anything in this world that could be used as a symbol of the birth of civilization. In Li Wei's opinion, the only person who could take on such a great mission must be Fire.
Fire was the symbol of human civilization.
Whether it was the legend of Suirenshi in the east or the myth of Prometheus stealing the fire in the west, they all reflected the worship of the ancient ancestors for the great thing of "fire".
Humans could not live without fire. Without fire, humans would be no different from those wild beasts who ate raw meat and drank blood.
Humans used the power of fire to dispel darkness, roast food, and intimidate wild beasts…In short, ever since the discovery of fire, it had begun to play an important and irreplaceable role in human daily life.
And now, Li Wei was going to unleash another function of this great thing.
The transmission of information.
Li Wei found a relatively flat spot on a high rock and began his plan to start a fire.
The first thing he needed to prepare was enough fuel.
This was not a problem for Li Wei. After all, he was surrounded by native forests. Having mastered the power of battle energy, Li Wei easily chopped down a long dead tree, then used his not-so-exquisite swordsmanship to chop the uncle into a pile of small pieces of wood.
The seven to eight inch long wooden blocks piled up into a small mountain.
The next task was to start a fire.
There was no doubt that it was extremely difficult for primitive humans to obtain tinder. In addition to extremely skilled techniques, it was also necessary to prepare the right materials at the right time to successfully start a fire under very accidental circumstances.
Other than that, the only way for primitive humans to obtain tinder was to pray for the gift of heaven.
Heavenly lightning or the forest's spontaneous combustion, the probability of less than one in a billion, could indeed be called a gift.
However, Li Wei, who had traveled all the way from a civilized society, did not need such a clumsy method.
Li Wei rummaged through his pockets and took out a thumb-sized dark gray stone from his tattered clothes, as well as an iron blade that was already rusted and had countless gaps.
It was a piece of flint. When it collided with gold and iron, sparks would erupt and ignite the surrounding dry grass.
In order to make the process of starting the fire smoother, Li Wei even scraped a layer of white oil off the dead bison and smeared it on some of the hay, hoping that it would act as a combustion improver.
The following results also proved that the effect of these combustion improvers was simply too good!
Li Wei hit it three times in a row before he succeeded in making a small lump of dry grass emit white smoke.
However, when the white smoke came into contact with the ointment that Li Wei had touched, a puff was heard. A wisp of orange-red flame shot out. Although it was very thin, it did not fall in the wind.
Seeing this, Li Wei quickly protected this weak flame, then took out more withered grass and piled it beside the flame.
The flames burned brighter and brighter as time passed.
As time passed, Li Wei changed the burning materials into something more resistant to burning.
From the withered grass, to the branches of the bushes, to the thicker branches... and finally, the pile of dry wood.
In the end, when night fell, the thin wisp of flame had already turned into a huge ball.
Li Wei estimated that the flame was at least seven meters tall!
In fact, when the wind blew, it could even reach ten meters!
On the high mountain, under the starry sky, the orange-red flame was like a ball of sun, so eye-catching!
Li Wei looked at the " bonfire " with great satisfaction. After a tiring day, he finally had the chance to sit down and taste the roasted wild beef that was originally tasteless but now tasted very sweet while silently waiting for his target to arrive.
In fact, other than waiting, Li Wei could not do anything else.
……
The night was the natural protective umbrella for weak animals.
Survival of the fittest was the eternal law of the jungle. During the day, the powerful animals occupied the most abundant resources in the forest. This was a matter of course.
Under such circumstances, the weaker animals could only take advantage of the darkness to gather the necessary survival information while the stronger ones were napping.
There was no doubt that the primitive humans living on this land belonged to the category of " weak animals."
窸窸，窣窣。
In the dark forest, shadows were floating.
Li Wei, who had his eyes closed, could clearly sense that there were several messy footsteps slowly approaching from the foot of the mountain.
Upon hearing this, Li Wei finally felt relieved.
In fact, even though Li Wei was working so hard, he did not know if such a huge bonfire could attract the primitive humans hiding in the forest.
However, based on the current situation, the effect was still pretty good.
In fact, Li Wei had underestimated the attraction of fire to primitive humans.
In this world, almost all animals were afraid of this terrifying thing that could take their lives at any time. Even unreasonable beasts like hungry wolves would hesitate after seeing flames. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would never act rashly.
It was precisely because of this that when the weak humans discovered the effects of fire, they immediately regarded fire as their guardian angel.
Flame worship was one of the most primitive and widespread forms of self-combustion worship in the world. Other than that, perhaps only the primitive worship of the sun and moon could be compared to it.
……
“窸窸，窣窣……”
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Li Wei quickly found a slightly hidden place and hid.
He hadn't figured out how to interact with these primitive humans yet.
Then, in less than five minutes, five or six figures came to the bonfire.
With the help of the light of the flames, Li Wei, who was hiding behind a huge rock, could see the general appearance of these people.
From their appearance, they should be a typical white race, and they should be a branch of the Northern European people. However, it seemed that because they had been fighting with the world for a long time, their appearances looked dirty and could no longer be called pure white.
Then, in the next moment, just as Li Wei was thinking about what method he should use to communicate with these people for the first time…
"Roar!"
An unbelievable scene appeared.
After seeing the bonfire, these primitive humans in animal skins first howled and communicated in a language that Li Wei could not understand. Then, a primitive man left the bonfire and ran back the way he came.
As for the others?
They actually held hands and formed a circle around the bonfire, dancing!
A primitive tribal dance that stung the eyes!
