Chapter 158 Running to the Ruins
"Shatu, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me, understand?"
Diwu Xuan stood in front of the Sand Totem Fire Seed and said to him solemnly.
Shatu was the name he gave to the Sand Totem Fire Seed. Diwu Xuan felt troubled by always calling him the Sand Totem Fire Seed.
"Okay, Spirit Master, I'll remember it."
Shatu answered honestly.
Diwu Xuan shrugged in the totem and asked the little turtle to rush to the front of the team without communicating with Shatu any more.
In the Fire Tribe, there is the cunning Moon Totem, the troublesome Sun Totem, and the Tiger Spirit Knife who wants to be independent when he gets the chance. They all make Diwu Xuan uneasy, but the Fire Tribe also has two honest people, no, honest totems.
One is the Mountain Totem, which has now become a stick and was thrown to the Fatty Pile by Diwu Xuan.
The other one is Shatu, who is also an honest child. He does whatever Diwu Xuan arranges. He doesn't know how to refuse or make requests, and his words are a bit dull.
When he came to the front of the team, Diwu Xuan asked if there was any problem with the Wolf Tribe. The answer was naturally no, everything was going well.
This is the tenth day of the eastward migration. The speed of the team has slowly increased, but Diwu Xuan is still suppressing it, not wanting to increase it too fast.
In fact, this speed has far exceeded the distance walked on foot in a day, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.
The Wolf Totem obviously wanted to increase the speed. She was used to running fast, but Diwu Xuan didn't want to, because the Fire Tribe was not used to it. For this reason, the Wolf Totem quarreled with him for two days.
"What did the Sixth Chieftain talk to the Spirit Snake Tribe two days ago?"
Because of the awkwardness of the past two days, she didn't know about the Sixth Chieftain's communication with the Spirit Snake Tribe. Now that things have calmed down, she asked again.
"Nothing, just to let them know that we are heading east. After all, we are passing through their territory, so it's better to say hello to them to avoid misunderstandings."
After more than ten days of moving east, they only encountered a larger tribe, which was the Spirit Snake Tribe. The Sixth Chieftain took the initiative to negotiate with them, and there was no misunderstanding. They passed by the Spirit Snake Tribe smoothly.
After listening to this, Wolf Totem lost interest and followed Diwu Xuan with lazy steps, and started to talk about this and that again.
"Sing me another wolf song from the north, it's pretty nice."
"Teach me a little more Chinese, I think it's great, do you think our children can learn to speak Chinese?"
"Look at this sunset, how beautiful, look at the moon, how round, look..."
...
With the wolf totem accompanying him, Diwu Xuan was no longer bored, and he had a lot more joy on the way eastward.
Sometimes, Diwu Xuan would ask Baxia if he still remembered some of the places they had been to.
For example, the volcano with a magical egg, the tribe of black bears, and the monkey mountain where they stole the monkey wine.
Whenever these places were mentioned, the little turtle's eyes lit up, whether it was bear paws or monkey wine, they were his favorites.
He applied to Diwu Xuan several times to go do another job, but how could Diwu Xuan allow it? That kind of free and easy life was good enough just once.
Now that the Fire Tribe is migrating, it is better to have less trouble than more. Although Diwu Xuan is also curious about those places, he has controlled his curiosity.
The journey was not always peaceful. For example, once they ran into a hunting team from a tribe. The team had about 300 people, all of whom were totem warriors.
When they saw Diwu Xuan's team, they attacked without saying anything, and the result was naturally the annihilation of the entire army.
But Diwu Xuan was afraid of complications, so he accelerated the entire team in those days and quickly escaped from the territory of that tribe.
Another time, Diwu Xuan was leading the team in front and suddenly heard the sound of a bone whistle. At that time, the whole team immediately became nervous, and the warriors took out their weapons.
As a result, when they arrived at the direction where the bone whistle came from, they found that they were not from the Fire Tribe at all, but the tribe from which Diwu Xuan stole the bone whistle, the Sound Tribe.
The tribe suffered serious casualties, and the living people were all pale and thin. When the Fire Tribe walked past them, they could only look on helplessly.
That night, when the Fifth Xuan was patrolling the territory, he suddenly found some unfamiliar children in the team.
He could distinguish these children because they looked pale and thin, unlike the Fire Tribe. Later, after the explanation of the Sixth Generation Chief, he realized that these people were all children from the Sound Tribe.
Not only that, the Sixth Generation Chief also brought back a Sound Totem fire, and that fire was actually in the shape of a bone flute.
In addition to these two incidents, there were other things that happened, such as a sled that broke down, or a hunting team that got lost. In short, they encountered trouble all the way east.
There was a longer stop in the middle, which lasted about a month.
The purpose of the stop was to allow the tribe to accumulate some prey, otherwise it would be too difficult to hunt on the move, and the hunting team would easily get lost or encounter danger.
Hunting in a relatively safe place makes it easier to accumulate food, and it also allows the tribesmen to rest.
In this way, they set out in summer, rested for a month at the turn of summer and autumn, and then headed east again. When the cold winter was approaching, Diwu Xuan judged that the distance to the original Niu Tribe ruins should not be far.
"Walk to the Niu Tribe ruins that I saw before, avoid the cold winter there, and then set off again."
Diwu Xuan thought to himself and began to carefully look for the way to the Niu Tribe.
The reason for avoiding the cold winter is that winter is still the coldest season of the year.
It was too difficult to move forward in the winter. Not to mention the howling north wind, without the totem fire to warm the body, half of the old and weak in the Fire Tribe might be frozen to death, so he made such a decision. He
chose the site of the Ox Tribe for the Ox Totem that was buried in the river. He now has a totem collection habit.
Another reason is that in the time corridor, the Fire Tribe also stationed there, and it should not have encountered any major danger, because the Fire Tribe did not lose many people in the later period.
There was no reason not to go, as it was safe and necessary, so Diwu Xuan began to communicate with Xiao Wangba repeatedly and determined the approximate location of the ruins of the Ox Tribe.
"It looks like we have to speed up."
The Fire Tribe must enter the ruins of the Ox Tribe before the cold winter, otherwise they can only stay where they are.
After making the decision, Diwu Xuan began to slowly speed up the next day. The leader of the 500 people keenly sensed Diwu Xuan's intentions and slowly increased the speed of the entire team.
More than 10,000 people were moving forward at lightning speed on the snow. Wolf Totem was finally able to run, and she howled with joy.
After walking for several days, the weather became colder and colder, and Diwu Xuan became more and more anxious, and increased the speed again.
Finally, before the cold winter came completely, Diwu Xuan saw the ruins of the Ox Tribe from a distance.
The third day of the 10,000-word update. Tired, tired, tired.
The state of a saint, without desire or demand.
