When everyone in the cave fell silent, there was deathly silence all around.
Because the birds and small animals around fled in panic last night and left this terrifying place.
After a period of dead silence, the people in the cave became much braver.
This time, in addition to the leader, there were two other people who followed him out of the cave.
Under the careful and nervous gaze of everyone in the cave, they came to the place where the stone had rolled, picked up the stone and continued to throw it hard over there.
After Shi Tou made the move, he ran back as he did before, but this time he did not go directly into the hole.
Instead, he stood not far from the cave, watching nervously...
After repeated attempts to move forward step by step, more and more people came out of the cave.
The people of this tribe finally arrived at the edge of the ashes.
With some fear and tension.
This was originally a relatively flat land, but now there are many pits of different sizes.
The big ones can bury a standing person, while the small ones look like the traces left by a person sitting on the soft sand.
The soil in and around the pit was turned up and the ground was cracked, which looked extremely terrifying.
Some black stones can be seen in some pits, but not in others, as they were directly smashed into the soil.
"#¥%!"
After standing here and watching for a while, the leader spoke.
After a brief hesitation, everyone retreated in a hurry and moved far away from here.
Only the leader and a few other men remained at the edge of the ashes.
"*t#"
After seeing the people in the tribe leave far away, the leader took a long breath and then gave orders.
Several people threw the stones in their hands at the pits that appeared overnight and the stones inside the pits.
Just like before, when Shi Tou made a move, several people immediately turned around and ran backwards.
After a tense and silent wait, these people returned to the ashes.
The stones they threw out remained quietly in the pit, and one of them even hit a black stone directly!
Such results made them even bolder.
After waiting for a while, someone finally took the lead and walked carefully into the ashes. The people around him held their weapons, standing on guard nervously, staring at this person and everything around him without blinking, fearing that any accidents would happen.
The surroundings were still deathly silent. The man walked in the ashes for a while and came to the nearest pit.
There was a not-too-big black stone in the pit.
He stood at the edge of the pit and watched for a while. Under the tense gaze of the crowd, he quietly reached into the pit with the stick-like spear in his hand, and then tremblingly poked the black stone that was only a small part buried underground...
The leader lifted up a fist-sized black stone, which he had dug out from the ground. It was heavier than any stone he had ever seen before.
"#¥%~!"
He held the stone in his hand and shouted something to the people around him to show his strength.
The rest of the people also cheered because they didn't have to migrate to another place and they could continue living in this familiar land.
The leader threw away the heavy black stone in his hand and took his men out hunting.
He disliked this black stone because it was too heavy and not suitable for throwing...
The life of the tribe gradually returned to normal, but everyone still had some fear of the ashes and the black stones that came with the loud noise and fire.
As the days passed, no strange phenomena occurred in that place again, and more and more people in the tribe dared to come here.
One day, when most of the adults left the cave to go hunting, a naughty half-grown child left the cave and came here.
He picked and rummaged around here and found a black stone that was not too big.
Unlike the generally smooth black stones, one side of this stone is angular.
It should be caused by the collision with other rocks when it was falling at a high speed.
The half-grown child stroked it with his hand, using a little too much force, and felt pain. A cut was made on his hand, which scared him so much that he dropped the black stone in his hand and ran towards the cave. When he returned to the cave, he held his bleeding finger and looked at the uneven place with horror.
The small piece of black stone that he threw away, like other black stones, lay quietly on the ground, exposed to the wind and sun...
The people in the tribe who went out hunting came back. This time they were lucky. They didn't catch any prey, but they picked up a dead prey.
The monster looked a little strange, they had never seen it before, but that didn't stop them from knowing that it was edible.
As soon as the prey was placed on the ground, someone would come forward with a stone knife to skin it and eat the meat.
However, the skin of this thing was extremely strong, and the man tried with the stone knife for a long time but failed to cut it open.
"#¥%!"
The chief who was waiting to eat the meat was dissatisfied. He came over and kicked him, then took the stone knife and did it himself.
As a result, he cut it for a while but couldn't open it.
This made the leader and the people in the tribe feel very discouraged.
It is really frustrating to have food but not be able to put it in your mouth.
"#¥!"
The leader pointed at the fire, then at the large prey, meaning to put it directly on the fire.
Doing this will result in some loss of meat and the cooking speed will be slower, but you will still be able to eat it, instead of being anxious and unable to eat it like you are now.
"#¥¥..."
The half-grown child with the wound on his hand looked at the prey, touched his hand, and driven by the desire to eat the meat as soon as possible, he began to talk about his experience today.
After pointing to the bumpy ground, he raised his injured hand for everyone to see.
After a brief hesitation, someone accompanied him out of the cave and went to that place to look for the sharp stone.
After some searching, the small piece of black stone lying quietly on the ground was picked up by a hand and returned to the cave.
The leader held the black stone in his hand and looked at it for a while, then clenched his hand and slashed hard at the monster on the ground.
After a few strokes, the skin that was so tough that they were helpless was cut open, revealing the flesh inside...
"#¥%!"
In the cave filled with the aroma of meat, everyone rushed to see the small piece of sharp black stone.
They didn't expect that this stone with a strange origin and extremely heavy to lift could be so sharp.
This unexpected discovery gradually opened a door for them...
