Inside the cave, the fire flickered, illuminating the cave that was blackened by smoke and the totem pole that looked very old.
Under such circumstances, the rough totem pole actually seems to have a mysterious color, as if it really possesses some magical power.
Near the inside of the cave, two people, one old and one young, sat opposite each other, not far from the fire, and did not speak for a while.
The old man looked a little disappointed.
I remember that when I first heard about this, I also asked the previous generation witch in the tribe the same question.
only……
"#EW@##4..."
After a moment's silence, the witch from the Yu tribe spoke.
What I mean is that maybe they are still alive, and maybe it is still continuing.
These are also what the witch of the previous generation said to himself.
He never believed this sentence.
Given the situation at that time, those who were left behind were all sick, and the leader was a young shaman in reserve, and their number was not as many as that of their own group. Under such circumstances, what were the chances of those people surviving?
These diseases alone are enough to kill a person, not to mention taking into account things like food, external dangers, and shelter.
But now, at this moment, it is my turn to tell this matter to the next witch. Faced with similar questions, I found that apart from these words, I couldn't say anything else.
People always want to leave some better thoughts. You can't say that these people in the tribe are definitely dead and they have all died long ago. In that case, how could anyone survive?
It is really too cruel to say this.
Hearing the old man say this, the young man who had been listening attentively was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the old man and couldn't help opening his mouth to say something.
However, after opening his mouth for a while, no sound came out. After a pause, he finally closed his mouth again without saying a word.
The cave, where some people were talking just now, fell into silence again...
"@￥W#$WW!~"
“@￥@@##2…”
The silence was broken by the sudden and lively shouts from outside.
The witch of the Yu tribe and the next witch did not take it seriously at first. They thought it was just like the past, that a tribe that had gone out had returned and brought back a lot of prey, which caused such a sensation in the tribe.
But after listening for a while, the two found that things were not the case at all!
It seemed that a group of people who went out hunting saw something extraordinary in the mountains or by the river!
The two of them soon couldn't stand it anymore. After looking at each other, they stood up and walked out of the cave quickly one after another.
After walking out of the cave, I saw a group of people.
They were the group of people who were rushing back from the river carrying two bloody hind legs of prey.
These people were talking about something excitedly at this moment.
When they saw the old man come out, these people instantly felt like they had found a backbone, and they all gathered around the old man, and by the way, they also gathered around the young people who came with the old man.
"@￥WW#3..."
After gathering around the old man, everyone couldn't control themselves again and started talking excitedly...
“Hiss~!”
After a long time, the witch of the Yu tribe finally understood what had happened to the people in his tribe from the excited and chattering words of his tribe members, and he couldn't help but take a long breath!
Even he had never heard of such a thing!
Seeing that the most knowledgeable, wisest witch in the tribe, who seemed to know everything and could not help but be troubled by everything, was actually in this state, the people in the Yu tribe suddenly became even more shocked!
It seems that they really discovered something incredible this time!
Unknown things always bring enough fear to people, especially those that look scary.
When the witch, who was recognized as the embodiment of wisdom in the Yu tribe and was already quite old, showed enough shock at this terrifying thing, there was no doubt that a kind of fear mixed with some excitement quickly spread in the Yu tribe.
Everyone was talking about the sudden and shocking thing, and various associations arose from it.
For example, will that scary thing eat people? Will that scary thing pass by there only once, or will it pass by there often in the future?
What are those people on that extremely terrifying thing?
How did they come to that terrifying being?
Was it coerced, or was that terrifying existence controlled by those people?
If so, who are those people?
Will they be able to control that terrifying creature and have it attack their tribe?
That thing was so huge that if it really came to attack their tribe, their tribe would not even have the chance to fight back!
When people think about something scary, they always can't help but think about what they fear the most.
At this time, based on the fact that a terrible monster appeared on the tribe's side, these speculations were naturally based on fear.
As a result, the normal life in the tribe has been greatly affected.
For example, some hunters were afraid to go out hunting, fearing that they would be encountered by these terrifying big birds and easily caught and eaten. They were also worried that after they left the tribe, the big birds would come to the tribe, and since there were few people in the tribe, the tribe would be ravaged...
For example, the gatherers dare not go out to gather easily, and the children dare not leave the caves of the tribe easily. If there is any disturbance, they will panic...
Faced with such a situation, the witch of the Yu tribe made a decision after some thought - he would take a few people to the tribe, find the place where the terrifying existence was, and guard it to see if he could encounter the terrifying existence again.
When such words were spoken, the people in the tribe naturally disagreed. They were worried that the backbone and the wisest person in their tribe would die because of this. If so, the loss would be too great for their tribe!
However, this did not stop the old man in the tribe.
He said that this matter must be resolved, otherwise it would be impossible to succeed given the current situation in the tribe.
If this continues for a long time, the impact on the tribe will be too great and will seriously affect the life in the tribe.
It would be better to go and take a look at it to get a more accurate understanding of it.
In this way, the people in the tribe would not be so frightened by the fear of this thing in the future and become like they are now...
After some explanation, the witch of the Yu tribe finally led people to the place where the tribe saw the scary monster.
He didn't bring many people with him. The only ones he brought were those he thought of bringing, and none of them were important people in the tribe.
He did not bring any important figures in the tribe, especially the young, next witch.
When faced with similar situations, the ancestors of the tribe had already given a choice.
At this time, the tribe once again faced such a situation, and there was not much hesitation...
The next witch in the tribe, who had just reached adulthood, stood here and watched the old witch, who was leading a few not-so-strong people in the tribe who knew the way, heading towards the river without looking back, his fists clenched tightly and his eyes red.
At this moment, he finally understood the story that Wu had told him not long ago, and truly felt that feeling...
Han Cheng on the sailboat naturally didn't know how much trouble his unintentional passing by had caused to those tribes. Even if he knew, he didn't have too many thoughts at this moment.
Because at this moment, he was already in trouble!
The terrain on both sides of the river became very steep at this time, and there were mountains on the shore.
There is very little soil on the mountains on both sides of the river, and it is just exposed rocks.
The wide river surface suddenly became narrow at this time, and the steady river flow also accelerated.
The rope tied between the large sailboat and the small boat in front was pulled tightly at this time!
The people on the anchored large sailboat and the people on the small sailboat were pulling the ropes quickly and hard at this time.
As they exerted more strength, the distance between the two continued to shorten, and the small sailboat was rapidly approaching the large sailboat.
Han Cheng pursed his lips slightly and stared at everyone doing this without saying a word.
Han Cheng didn't relax until the small boat came to the front of the large sailing ship and the people on the small boat came to the large ship with the help of everyone.
Han Cheng patted the shoulders of the people who had come up and immediately issued a new order - "Sail! Sail one thousand meters upwards and then drop anchor!"
Amidst the faint roars, Han Cheng shouted to the people in the tribe.
“Please note that this time the matter is very urgent, and the situation I was worried about before has appeared here.
There was a fault in the riverbed in the front, which turned directly into a cliff.
The boat is going downhill, and if it is washed down by the river, it will be really over!
Many of us will die!
The river is flowing fast right now, so we have to be careful that after the anchor is raised, the boat will be carried downstream by the current!"
Han Cheng was speaking loudly here, explaining to the people on the ship the emergency situation they were facing and what they needed to do.
In fact, without Han Cheng’s words, the people on the boat had already realized that the situation they were facing was already very critical.
After hearing what Han Cheng said at this time, everyone became more serious and seriously discussed what to do next.
After some discussion and determination of a feasible plan, everyone chose the right time and began to weigh anchor.
As the heavy anchor was raised, the anchored ship immediately began to move downward along the flowing river, getting closer to the danger downstream.
Fortunately, the person at the helm had already turned the rudder to the limit at the beginning, so after the ship sailed forward for a distance, it began to turn slowly.
After a while, the boat turned around completely, and then, with the combined effect of the sails and some extra-long oars that could be hung on the pillars on both sides of the boat, it slowly went upstream.
After seeing this scene, everyone on the ship couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he worked harder to control the boat.
After a while, the boat went farther and farther upstream, and the river became calmer. Seeing this, the people on the Bluebird finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, under Han Cheng's order, they dropped anchor again and stopped the ship.
This time, everyone didn't have to worry about the anchored ships being unable to withstand the turbulent water flow and being washed downstream to that extremely terrifying place.
After resting here for a while, everyone started to move from the big ship to the small boat.
Han Cheng, wearing a life jacket, also got into the boat and headed towards the relatively flat south bank.
However, for his safety considerations, the people in the tribe did not let him take the first boat, but let him take the second one.
The oars pushed the water forward, and after a while, they arrived at the south bank.
After searching for a while, they abandoned the boat and went ashore at a relatively flat place.
Of course, abandoning the ship does not mean that the ship was really abandoned. In order to be able to get back on the ship smoothly, the people of the Qingque tribe tied the ship firmly to the trees on the shore.
The road is rugged, with weeds and trees growing everywhere, and sometimes you can encounter some strange rocks. On the other side is a surging river, which looks particularly dangerous.
Han Cheng and his group moved forward cautiously. For safety reasons, they took a long detour and spent a long time before they finally reached the place Han Cheng wanted to go and saw what Han Cheng wanted to see.
Standing on the mountains that are much higher than the riverbed, you can see many scenes that you could not see or could not see completely when you were in the river.
Looking up along the river, one can clearly see that due to the terrain on both sides of the river, the originally very wide river has been forced to shrink to less than 300 meters in a distance of less than 500 meters!
The river water, which was originally calm, suddenly became turbulent!
What’s even more terrifying is that this riverbed, which is less than 300 meters wide, actually has a large fault not far downstream!
