back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 182
Seeing the reactions of the savages and noticing the changes in the way they looked at him, the fear in the crow's heart dissipated little by little, replaced by more confidence.

He has no reason to be afraid anymore. Now he has a strong and solid backing, and these barbarians dare not do anything to him.

After figuring this out, Crow straightened his back even more.

"How many are they?"

"Where are they?"

"Are they coming to take our place?"

The panic didn't disappear, it just moved from the crow to the crowd. Thinking that a group of outsiders had invaded their territory, they were armed with terrifying weapons and had the ability to bring the dead back to life. They were fierce and savage mountain people, and they couldn't help becoming nervous.

"No! They didn't come to grab our territory!" Ah Niu said loudly, "They just passed by here. They came from the same place as the crow, and they will go to the same destination."

"That's right!"

The crow echoed his words, both in demeanor and tone, much tougher than before.

"We're going to the warmer south, where there's no snow!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another line of private goods: "If we hadn't been caught by you, we might have reached our destination, but now, I have lost a companion."

When they heard that they didn't come to trouble themselves, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and heard the crow talk about the past, faintly intending to settle accounts after the autumn, and felt a little unhappy.

In the past, if this savage dared to speak like that, Babu would just slap him in the face, which would surely make him lose his way, but after hearing A Niu's narration, he had to be cautious.

The current crow is not just a savage, just like what A Niu said, he is the messenger of the sky, it is easy to beat him up, but it is not worth the gain to cause conflicts between the two sides in order to be quick for a while.

In the tribe at the bottom of the mountain, Babu was famous for his stability. After analyzing the pros and cons, he smiled and said, "Brother Crow..."

"My name is Raven."

"Crow." Babu changed his words sincerely, expressing kindness, "I arrested you because you are wildlings. If you were me, and you met wildlings wandering around your own territory and trying to poach them, what would you do?"

The crow was speechless. In the Youyan tribe, they had no need to enslave savages, and basically killed the savages who were alone on the spot.In this regard, they were indeed justified when they were arrested.

Babu went on to say, "I remember that there were three of you. The moment I sent you to the mountain people, there were always three, right? So, you lost a companion. It has nothing to do with us. If you didn't mention it, we wouldn't even know about it."

He lightly dismissed the responsibility, implying that everything was wrong, and it was all the fault of the people on the mountain.

How could Chi Yan not hear it?

He didn't bother to argue, and it was useless to argue. The crow and the leopard liver had done a cold-weather hard work in the quarry camp, and they must have a grudge.

If the crow wants to retaliate, he is not afraid. The tribe on the mountain has served the fire spirit for generations. No matter how powerful the sky clan in Aniu's mouth is, is it more terrifying than the anger of Dashan?

Chi Yan looked at Ah Niu, and brought the topic back to what he was most concerned about: "So Ah Shui is with those people now, right?"

A Niu nodded yes.

"They want to take those two savages away. I have no objection, but Ah Shui is our tribe. She betrayed the tribe and let the savages go. She should be handed over to us. Is that the reason?"

Chi Yan kept talking to A Niu, and the deliberate ignorance made the crow a little annoyed. He took the lead and said: "A Shui is not only your clansman, she has also been entrusted by the high priest. She should have led the tribe, but you deliberately made things difficult for her. Don't pretend to care about A Shui, you just care about your status and the commander she took away!"

There was an uproar in the camp.

Everyone at the bottom of the mountain looked like they were enjoying the show, and there were voices of discussion everywhere.

"It sounds like this Ah Shui is the next high priest?"

"Isn't the high priest missing?"

"Commander? What is that?"

Chi Yan's face was not very good-looking, he had been trying to ignore the crow, he had to face the crow's existence, and said sharply: "This is a matter of our tribe, what do you know, a savage!"

The crow was about to confront the crow, but Ah Niu stopped him, and said in a voice that overwhelmed everyone: "Lord Chiyan, Ah Shui's leg injury is very serious. Thanks to Lord Wizard, she saved her life. She originally wanted to come back with us, but because of the serious injury, she couldn't go too far. She is still recovering."

"Master Chiyan, you promised us that we will reward you if you catch someone. I didn't bring the person, so I don't know if the commander counts?"

"The priest is on you?!" Chi Yan almost jumped up, unable to hide his excitement.

Ah Niu didn't answer, just asked: "Should the reward count or not?"

Everyone in the tribe at the foot of the mountain quieted down, looking at Chi Yan with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.Compared with the internal strife among the people on the mountain, they care more about the actual benefits.

Chi Yan hesitated for a while, the priest commander must take it back, not only to inherit the sacred objects left by his ancestors, but also to stabilize his position as a priest, but if he agreed so readily, wouldn't he really answer the crow's "accusation"?
He suppressed his eagerness, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "If the priest is in your hands, I can give you a bag of holy stones as a reward."

"Two bags."

"what?"

"You promised to give us three bags of holy stones as a reward, one bag has already been fulfilled, and there are still two bags left." A Niu refused to budge.

"Our agreement is to catch people in exchange for rewards. You didn't bring people. It stands to reason that I shouldn't..."

"Two bags."

Babu interrupted Chi Yan's words and stood up for A Niu decisively. Although he didn't know what a sacrificial commander was, it was very important to the people on the mountain. He could see that there was no need to be polite to the people on the mountain at this time.

The people at the bottom of the mountain naturally stood by A Niu's side, as if they would not succeed if they didn't give them enough benefits.

Chi Yan's face became even more ugly. He knew that once he agreed, it would be equivalent to giving up arresting Ah Shui.

In fact, it was nothing, Wu Ya was right, what he cared about was Commander Ji, not Ah Shui.

Despite his dull face, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Where is the Commander?"

"Here I am."

The crow took out the small and exquisite obsidian token representing the highest stone tool level of the tribe on the mountain.

Curious people from the mountain immediately gathered around to watch. They are loyal fans of obsidian products.

"What is this, let me show you something!"

At this moment, A Niu took out the pottery bowl given to him by the priest of the sky, and showed it to the clansmen in a slightly ostentatious manner.

"This bowl...is actually made of stone?"

"What a beautiful color! It's almost like flames!"

"This is too smooth! How did you polish it?"

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the bright red pottery bowls. They didn't know what pottery was, but felt that it was hard to the touch, so they thought it was made of stone and were amazed.

The people on the mountain also gathered together. They believe in the spirit of fire and are very sensitive to the color of flames. They saw that the bowl was really red like flames, and it was polished extremely smooth. It was obviously made by top stonemasons.

Ah Meng and the others were eager to see through their eyes, wishing they could hug the flame bowl and caress them.

However, the bowl was circulated back and forth among the people at the bottom of the mountain, without any intention of passing it on to them.

"Be careful! Don't drop the bowl to me!" Seeing these rough men passing their precious stone bowls, Ah Niu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"It's made of stone, what are you afraid of!"

"What do you know! This stone is extraordinary, it can't stand falling!"

"A Niu, where did you steal this bowl?"

"Bah! You just stole it! This is given to me by the priest of the sky!"

"Sky Priest?"

"Their priests are just like Lord Chi Yan, except that they believe in the sky, so they are priests of the sky."

"Is that so..."

The people at the bottom of the mountain are not interested in whether they believe in the flame or the sky. They are only interested in things that can be seen and touched, such as this unusual stone bowl.

"Is this bowl very precious? Is that why he gave it to you?"

"Each of them has several bowls like this, so they are not too precious! The sky priest said that they have a unique method of making them. As long as you master the method, making them is not difficult!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's curiosity was full, including the mountain people who were good at making stones.

Immediately someone asked: "What method?"

"Stupid you!" Another person said, "Can someone tell us the method?"

A Niu smiled and said: "I really asked the priest of the sky this question. Although he didn't tell me the method directly, he told me the way to get the method."

Ah Meng hurriedly asked: "What way?"

"Look up at the sky, pray to the sky, our ancestors will guide us."

Ah Meng stopped talking, and everyone on the mountain stopped talking.

The people at the bottom of the mountain also calmed down. They like the stone bowl very much, but looking up at the sky or something... It doesn't feel real, and it's probably used as a polite refusal.

"Bring it."

At this time, Chi Yan's voice was particularly loud.

He asked the crow for the priest.

The crow said: "Ah Shui didn't betray you. She took away Commander Ji and deliberately lured you to hunt her down to get you out of that dangerous area. Dashan is brewing anger. You are the Priest of Fire Spirit, so you should be very clear about it."

"It's none of your business."

Chi Yan took the Commander Ji and carefully put it away after confirming that it was correct. As for the crow's advice, he naturally would not take it seriously.

Babu on the side listened in: "What do you mean? The mountain is about to breathe fire again?"

Their ancestors once experienced a volcanic eruption. Although it was a long time ago, the stories related to it have been handed down, and the content of the story has become richer and richer. There are at least a dozen versions.

"That's right!" Ah Niu said seriously, "This is the most important thing. I rushed back to tell you the news!"

After everyone's attention was focused on himself, he continued, "I have been guided by my ancestors. Dashan is very angry now. Once its anger erupts, it will be even more terrifying than what is described in the story! We must leave here as soon as possible!"

Everyone exploded again, and the sky clan described by A Niu was very surprising, but after all, no one had seen it, at most they had doubts in their hearts, and could not deny its authenticity.

But they were aware of Dashan's anger, and A Niu's words were completely beyond their cognition.

All of a sudden, doubts arose.

"You told us to leave? Funny! We are far enough away from that fire-breathing mountain. Our ancestors moved down to the mountain to avoid the wrath of the mountain."

"We are safe here! Even if Dashan gets angry, it won't affect us!"

"It's different this time!" Ah Niu yelled, "This time the anger is so intense that the nearby forests will be ignited! Once the forest burns, it is likely to spread here. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chi Yan! He is the fire priest, he must know!"

In desperation, he didn't bother to address Chi Yan as an "adult" anymore, and subconsciously called him by his first name.

All eyes fell on Chi Yan.

Chi Yan thought for a while and said: "Although Dashan's anger is stronger than before, I don't think it will affect you. You are not even afraid of us. What are you afraid of?"

This is of course not true, he also planned to send the people from the mountain to search for the high priest, but he didn't want them to shrink back because of this.

"You're lying!" Ah Niu was furious. "Even the high priest couldn't appease Dashan's anger. Isn't that enough to explain the current situation! Ah Shui told me that you only brought hunters back to your camp and kept shepherds, women and children as far away from Dashan as possible. If you are really not afraid, why did you make such a decision!"

"I just let them drive the sheep to graze on the grassland. You are a shepherd, you should know more about raising sheep than me. I don't know what Ah Shui said to you, but obviously, not everything is true."

"you!"

A Niu knew that Chi Yan was determined not to admit it, so he didn't want to waste any more words with him. He turned his head to look at his clansmen, and he saw pairs of eyes full of doubts.

hateful!It's not good for me to mention anyone, but Chi Yan!
He knew that Chi Yan's slap in the face made it even more difficult for his words to hold water.

He had no choice but to say: "The people on the mountain will lie to us. They often do this kind of thing, but I won't! The people on the mountain don't lie to the people on the mountain. This is not good for me. On the contrary, if you are hurt, I will suffer as well!"

This is reasonable, no matter how you say it, Ah Niu is also one of his own, they must trust Ah Niu more.

Babu said: "I didn't say you lied to me, I just think your words are a bit exaggerated, you kid often speak big words, don't I know you yet?"

"I absolutely did not brag this time! There is no exaggeration at all!" A Niu assured, patting his chest.

Although A Niu likes to play tricks, he would not joke about such things. Babu knew it well, so he asked, "You said you got the guidance from your ancestors, what exactly is going on?"

"As I said just now, look up to the sky, pray to the sky, and our ancestors will guide us. Thinking that there is nothing to lose, I gave it a try, and it really works..."

Ah Niu began to talk about the guidance he received in his dream.
