Chapter 393 Observation
In a mountain nest in the south-eastern part of the Fire Tribe, the Star Tribe and the Spring Tribe took refuge here, and a team of 500 four-corner cavalrymen guarded them.
"The Sword Tribe is gathering more warriors. Is it too dangerous to continue staying here?"
The Spring Witch asked the young man next to him in a low voice.
The boy was the next generation witch of the Star Tribe and the one who had communicated with Shi.
"Wait a little longer and see what the witch decides."
The boy looked worried as he looked at the Star Witch standing in the wind and snow in front of him.
The Star Witch's eyes were glowing white, and the pupils were completely invisible. From time to time, some chaotic pictures flashed through his pure white eyes.
He shuddered from time to time, and starlight flashed in the wrinkles on his old face from time to time.
"If it doesn't work, retreat a little to the east. The tribe is the most important."
The Star Chief couldn't help but speak. The Star Witch had been in this state for half a day. This situation had not been encountered for a long time.
"Everything is up to the witch."
The young man emphasized again.
He naturally knew the concerns of the Spring Witch and the Star Chief, but he believed that the witch could lead the tribe out of such a desperate situation.
The Star Tribe has a strong ability to predict the future. This is certainly a very powerful ability, but the Creator never favors anyone too much, so he deprived the Star Tribe of the ability to fight.
More precisely, it is part of the fighting ability.
If the Star Tribe is given enough time to stay in one place for more than a few years, they will establish a special connection through totems, witches, leaders, and tribesmen. Even a powerful tiger like Fuhu will not dare to be too arrogant in the Star Tribe.
But once they leave this place where they have been stationed for several years, wild battles are not the specialty of the Star Tribe. Even some stronger spirit tribes can wipe out the entire Star Tribe.
And the Spring Tribe... This is an extremely peace-loving tribe. At the same time, their abilities are quite similar to those of the Star Tribe, and the cold weather naturally suppresses the power of the Spring Tribe.
The two tribes together are at most equivalent to a powerful spirit tribe. Even with 500 four-horned cavalrymen, facing the huge knife tribe alliance, the result is self-evident.
On the way from the southwest, the Mi tribe followed and protected the Xingchen tribe.
But after entering the east coast and walking north for a while, the Xingchen witch predicted that this way of moving forward would bring a devastating blow to the Xingchen tribe and the Chun tribe, so the three tribes temporarily separated.
The three tribes were divided into two, with the powerful Mi tribe in the front, and the Xingchen tribe and the Chun tribe moving forward cautiously on the road they passed.
Later, as the Xingchen witch predicted, the team of the Dao tribe happened to be active here and directly attacked the Mi tribe.
If the Xingchen tribe and the Chun tribe were also there at the time, the Mi tribe would not be able to divide its troops to protect the huge enemy, and the casualties would be heavy. Although
they avoided this surprise attack, the Xingchen witch could not find a safe way to the west.
Normally, his predictions about the future were brief, because the future was unpredictable. If he could see it, he could see it. If he couldn't see it, he couldn't see it even if he tried his best.
But this time, the stakes were too high, so he had to try again and again, which caused his hair to turn gray and his face to age rapidly.
It also caused the Star Leader and Spring Witch to hesitate. Recently, the Star Witch seemed a little crazy because of the frequent predictions, so they had to make more careful considerations.
Just when everyone was worried, the image of Ba Xia suddenly flashed in the white pupils of the Star Witch's eyes, and as the picture froze and disappeared, the Star Witch's eyes finally returned to normal.
"Yi, go to the Fire Tribe and ask the Fire Totem to help the Star Tribe."
After the Star Shaman said this, he seemed to be choked, and his cheeks turned red due to congestion.
The young boy Yi was a little at a loss, but the Star Chief was quite calm. Before the Star Shaman's eyes slowly became chaotic, he stepped forward and came behind the Star Shaman. His right hand formed a hand knife shape and slashed fiercely on the Star Shaman's neck.
"Bang."
With a muffled sound, the Star Shaman's eyes rolled up and the whole person fainted.
"What are you doing?"
Yi asked in disbelief.
"This is a prediction of future backlash. It will devour the witch's memory in the future. If it is not stopped, unpredictable things may happen."
The Star Chief said with a sullen face.
"Will this avoid backlash?"
Yi asked.
The star leader showed sadness on his face: "No, we can only stop the witch from going crazy."
…………
At the moment when the star witch predicted Baxia, Baxia suddenly raised his body, stuck his head out, and looked towards the mountain nest in the east.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing Baxia's abnormality, Ritu Teng asked.
"Ang."
Baxia called out, indicating that he didn't know what happened. He smacked his lips, retracted his head into the turtle shell, and slowly fell asleep.
Diwu Xuan, who reacted a step late, walked out of the room and looked at Ritu Teng standing in the air in confusion.
"Baxia was startled, I asked, and he said it was okay."
Ritu Teng explained.
Diwu Xuan nodded, and looked down at Ba Xia through the thick mist. Seeing that his breathing had become steady and he had obviously fallen asleep, he did not wake him up.
Perhaps it was just a dream... he thought so.
"Is there anything new outside?"
he asked Sun Tuteng.
"No, but we discovered a new map, and I asked them to put it on the ground."
These days, Sun Totem is in charge of communicating with the outside world, while Diwu Xuan is integrating the known world map.
Looking down again, there is indeed a piece of animal skin in front of Baxia, on which part of the terrain is recorded in the form of a totem scroll.
Through the text on it, Diwu Xuan knows that this is a part of the map of the northwest of the Fire Tribe, connected to a mountain range named Beishan by Diwu Xuan. "It is said
that the Tapir Witch likes to run outside recently."
Looking at the map above, Diwu Xuan said to Sun Totem.
"The Fire Totem Alliance Academy is on the right track, and her courses are getting fewer and fewer. You are going to build the Fire Tribe Alliance Library, and she hopes to have more things in it."
After listening to Sun Totem's words, Diwu Xuan nodded in understanding.
The character of this line of tapir witches is somewhat paranoid. The first generation tapir witch, the son of the sixth generation leader, died because of the spirit gift. The second generation tapir witch also gave spirits at the cost of his own life after taking office.
If Diwu Xuan had not stopped her from doing this early and diverted her attention through words, she would probably have killed herself.
Because of her love for words, she is also quite interested in education, but education is not as much as her love for the Fire Totem Alliance Library.
"If the aunt of the first generation tapir witch was here, collecting maps would be much easier."
Diwu Xuan sighed and looked at the sky with snowflakes floating.
He wondered if the tribal witch was still floating in the sky in such weather - maybe it was nothing, after all, if there was no thunder on a snowy day, he might not dare to do it on a rainy day.
Putting aside these wild thoughts, Diwu Xuan returned to his room and filled in the map he had just seen on the wall.
The map on the wall was still a little scattered. There were places on the East China Sea, near the Black River, volcanoes and cattle totem sites, and the edge of the desert. These were all places he had been to.
He racked his brains to recall the past in order to perfect the map, while the Fire Tribe outside was bustling again.
Because it was the annual cold winter again, hunting had been abandoned, and except for the two thousand totem warriors who went out, all the rest were managed by the academy.
This time it was not just a few thousand people, everyone had to participate in the study, because after a year of study, there were already many people who were qualified to be teachers for these illiterate people.
Naturally, no one advocated civilized teaching in this era, nor was there any scientific education. Whips and sticks were the norm, but hunger was the most torturous thing.
The two thousand Snake Tribe warriors did not escape this treatment and were whipped by the teachers of the Fire Tribe Alliance Academy.
But the worst were not them, but the people of the Ox Tribe. In this winter, they were dubbed "the most hopeless people". Because the name came from the academy teachers, it was widely recognized.
Teachers are always knowledgeable, and knowledge represents correctness.
The Fire City was in chaos because of this incident, and only the Tao Tribe became the quietest one.
This was not due to the preference of the Fire Totem, but what they deserved.
The witch and leader of the Tao Tribe, and a master passed the studies at the fastest speed, and there were even masters who focused on this and broke through the barriers to become academy teachers.
Even ordinary people in the Tao tribe still don't think learning characters is a difficult problem. In their words: We made many mistakes, but they are all within the tolerance range.
Yes, the test standard set by Diwuxuan is not that every word must be the same as the simplified Chinese character, as long as you can write a rough outline, which greatly reduces the difficulty of learning, especially for the Tao tribe.
But for the Niu tribe, it is still as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"It's okay, they can't beat the Niu tribe."
Diwuxuan once comforted the lost Niu Totem, but afterwards, Tao Totem was quite dissatisfied and had a fight with Niu Totem.
Diwuxuan did not participate in that fight, but it is said that Tao Totem rode on Niu Totem as a knight, and when he saw Niu Totem later, his eyes were a little lost, which reminded Diwuxuan of A Qing Sao.
The Fire Tribe was bustling, and the outside world was not peaceful either. The beast who went out to fight sent back news from time to time, saying that he had taken advantage of the snowstorm to sneak attack a small tribe under the Sword Tribe alliance, or that he had sneak attacked the Sword Tribe hunting team.
It seemed that the beast was not very concerned about the matter of going south to meet the Mi Tribe.
Fortunately, there was the experienced Zhuo, who led a thousand men including the battle team all the way east and had already discovered the Sword Tribe army, but because the opponent had a large number of people and the team was spread out very wide, he had not found a good way to pass.
"Without knowing whether the Mi tribe is an enemy or a friend, I will not force a breakthrough, but will observe from the dark."
The news sent back by Zhuo was unanimously recognized by all the witches. Even the Tao tribe, which had confirmed the origin of the Mi tribe, did not think that taking risks was the right choice.
If the blockade was forced to break through, it would be a trick by the enemy to lure the enemy, and the warriors who rushed in would be trapped in a deadly trap of being attacked from both sides.
Quiet observation was the best choice for the Fire Tribe Alliance.
