When the height of summer arrived, the area around the altar was completely transformed, with many males busy at work, their faces displaying the same excitement.

The massive altar in the center exudes an ancient aura, while the surrounding green jungle is breathtakingly beautiful, with vibrant flowers displaying rich, indistinct colors like paint.

I never expected there to be such a green area in the center of the village in the middle of summer. It's very beautiful, just like a scene from an anime.

"It's so beautiful here." She sat in Aoki's arms, her bright almond-shaped eyes sparkling.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

Everyone was working hard and sweating profusely, but they didn't stop. They would only wipe their eyes with the back of their hands or their animal skin skirts when sweat got into them.

The pure and simple masculine qualities of the beast world are fully revealed at this moment.

After tidying everything up, Xie Hong saw Sheng Xia smiling beside her, and her eyes flashed. She quickly walked over and greeted her respectfully.

"Medical Doctor Xia, please feel free to make any requests you may have!"

Summer slid down from Aoki's arms, stood on the ground, and nodded with her almond-shaped eyes.

"That's all, let's go take a look at the altar first."

If everything is alright, you can light a campfire and gather everyone to receive the witch doctor's blessing.

In the height of summer, I remember that whenever the snake, carrying the shaman's blessing, was at Yafatu, it would personally walk around the altar to check on the shaman.

She didn't know what needed to be checked, so she decided to just take a look first.

Crab Red naturally had no objection, and he nodded in agreement with a radiant face: "Alright, alright! Let's go, Doctor Xia, watch out for the steps."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shengxia tripped on the steps and was helped back to her feet by Jiaosu next to her.

Her arm accidentally brushed against the altar, causing the ancient altar to shed powder. Shengxia's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately pulled her elbow back, her almond-shaped eyes wide with surprise.

She asked nervously and in surprise, "You've lost followers?"

No way!?

It crumbles at the slightest touch; what else could it be but a staged accident?

Sheng Xia held her breath, bent down and looked closely, and found that the surface of the piece she had just touched seemed to be covered with a layer of white ash.

It seems that the powder layer has loosened due to its age, which is why it crumbled when Shengxia accidentally touched it in the middle of the summer.

Crab Red, standing nearby, was puzzled. The altar was impervious to wind and rain.

It's been sturdy for years, but when Dr. Xia touches it, the powder falls off?

Without thinking much, he looked up and gave a reassuring smile.

"It's okay, it's just been neglected for a long time, that's normal."

Shengxia looked at the crumbly area, nodded thoughtfully, and continued forward.

Suddenly, without any beast touching it, a whole piece of pink skin fell off.

The two "swish" sounds were not very noticeable amidst the sound of the waves, but they were keenly caught by Sheng Xia.

Her lips twitched, and she turned her head to look in confusion.

"What's going on? Is it peeling again?"

"It's alright, it's alright, Doctor Xia, you don't need to worry about it, I'll wipe it off."

Crab Red's face was cold and stern, and the wrinkles on his face carried a solemn air as he solemnly wiped away the crumbs.

Following his movements, Shengxia looked over and discovered that many abstract patterns were carved on the dark blue stone wall.

It looked somewhat familiar, so she walked over out of curiosity, raised her hand to wipe away a thin layer of ash, and gently blew on it to reveal the original appearance of the stone wall.

A dozen or so half-human, half-beast males, wielding stone axes, surrounded a giant wild boar, fiercely strangling their prey.

After thinking for a moment, Shengxia took a cup of water from her spatial storage and a clean piece of animal hide, then gently wiped the stone wall with the water.

He wiped it, then suddenly stopped, turned to look at Crab Red, and politely inquired.

"May I wipe this clean and have it checked?"

Feeling that this was a crucial discovery, and knowing full well that it might uncover the secrets of other tribes, Shengxia brazenly stood still.

Crab Red laughed heartily and affirmed in a strong voice.

"Of course, Dr. Xia, please feel free to do as you please."

He wouldn't even flinch if she dismantled and rebuilt the altar; after all, she was the lifeblood of the tribe...

Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She unconsciously smiled and thanked him, then lowered her head to wipe the cloth carefully.

The altar is very large and covered with various images.

The more Shengxia wiped, the more shocked she became. Looking at that familiar scene, an absurd guess gradually took shape in Shengxia's mind.

Her lips parted slightly, and she murmured softly.

"These paintings really look like..."

"What does it seem like?" Crab Red keenly sensed something, his eyes flashing, his urgent tone tinged with doubt.

When Shengxia came to her senses, she gave an embarrassed smile and shook her head gently.

"It's nothing, let's finish cleaning first."

As the stone dust was gradually wiped away, more and more of the painting was revealed...

Half an hour later, the cleaning was finally finished.

Using the sunlight filtering through the trees, Shengxia looked down at the painting on the altar.

I was amazed by the historical events depicted on the Yafatu animal skin scrolls.

How long has this painting existed?

Suppressing her shock, Sheng Xia ignored her pounding heart, lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, and looked on with increasing astonishment and uncertainty.

The painting ends with a strange and complex totem.

It looks very familiar...

Where have I seen this before?

Oh, right, the golden totem that suddenly appeared in my mind!

If I'm not mistaken, thousands of years ago, the Crab Roe Tribe and the Yafatu were the same tribe...

Shengxia was startled by the result she deduced.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose.

Sheng Xia raised her hand to shield her eyes, felt a chill on her back, and was lifted into the air. When she opened her eyes again, she met Jiao Su's worried golden eyes.

"Xia, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." She shook her head.

The wind was strong, and the bonfire in the center of the altar burned itself out of flame. The flames only flickered a few times and were not affected by the strong wind at all.

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiao Su's golden eyes. He turned around without leaving a trace, holding Sheng Xia, and floated away into the distance.

Wherever the summer sun shone, the couple quickly cleared away the pebbles, pulled up the weeds, and cut down any dangerous plants in the vicinity.

As for the animals? They were all scared away.

A few slow-reacting individuals were grabbed by the quick-handed Aoki, disemboweled, and roasted into a spicy flavor.

"Xia, come and try it. There aren't many ingredients, but it tastes delicious."

Aoki held up a piece of freshly grilled meat and eagerly offered it to Shengxia's lips, grinning broadly.

The gale continued, but the midsummer was well protected by Jiao Su, and not a breath of wind touched it.

Summer was a little dazed. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already opened her mouth and started eating. The spicy and savory flavor spread in her mouth.

Shengxia's eyes lit up. She took another bite, then looked up in confusion and asked, "Without water or fire, how did it roast so quickly?"

It was fresh and tender, with a perfect balance of spiciness, just right for her taste. Wolf King and Iron White weren't here, so how was this meat prepared...?
