Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 39 The Horn Sounds Wrong

Cui Zhengxi came to the body of the savage leader, turned the strong savage over, and removed the bone mask from his face.

That rugged face was covered with a beard, and his eyebrows were thick and bushy. Beneath his high nose bridge was a protruding mouth with two thick, blackened lips that were slightly parted, revealing yellowed teeth inside.

Cui Zhengxi picked up the bone mask and looked at it.

The bone face has two bone horns pointing forward. When worn on the face, it looks like two dragon horns are growing on the forehead, and there is also a small bone horn on the chin, which indeed gives people a very mysterious and majestic feeling.

"This is the upper skull of a young Triceratops. The eyes have been polished, these two are brow bones, and the one below is the nasal bone. This thing is indeed very cool, but it can't be used to summon savages. It's just a symbol of the savage leader, similar to the function of a crown."

Shen Ye said.

Cui Zhengxi then handed the bone mask to Shen Ye.

He then bent down and searched around the waist of the savage leader.

The savage leader had various ornaments tied around his waist, including many bone handles and a large number of ropes of various colors. These ropes were made and dyed from different plant fibers, and some were leather ropes.

Shen Ye could tell at a glance that it was a method used by the savages to count and record events. Different materials, different colors, and different knots all recorded different things.

This method is called knot-based record-keeping.

Shen Ye doesn't yet know the specific content recorded on these ropes, but with his background in archaeology, he'll be able to figure it out in less than a day.

But these ropes cannot command the savages.

Cui Zhengxi picked up the walkie-talkie on the savage leader's body again. Lin Ruochu had already spoken into the walkie-talkie, but everyone still glanced at it and saw that it was just an ordinary walkie-talkie.

"Where did they get this thing? Did they get it from the pilot?"

Shen Ye thought to himself that he was just as curious as everyone else.

But the situation was urgent, and they couldn't afford to put too much effort into it.

Cui Zhengxi found another bone, about 20 centimeters long, on the wild man's waist. This bone should be the shinbone of some kind of wild animal.

There are clearly areas that have been polished.

"What's the use of this?" Cui Zhengxi asked Shen Ye.

Shen Ye took it and looked at it. He found that the bone was very clean inside. It was a hollow bone with some bone fragments stuffed into the smaller end, leaving only a flat opening.

"It should be something that can make a sound, possibly a horn," Shen Ye said, his eyes lighting up as he finished speaking.

Cui Zhengxi smiled as well.

"This is exactly what I'm looking for. They must have a way to communicate with each other, but I don't know if this thing has any secret codes," Cui Zhengxi said.

Shen Ye held it in his hand and examined it, but he dared not put it to his mouth to blow on it, after all, it was covered with the saliva of a savage, and who knew if there were any viruses or bacteria on it.

"Ahem! Zhou Jian, take this and heat it up with fire, then you can try blowing into it," Shen Ye said in a serious tone.

Zhou Jian took it, looking somewhat embarrassed. However, when he looked at Shen Ye again, he found that Shen Ye had already turned his face away, leaving him no choice but to accept.

Zhou Jian had no choice but to take it to the still-burning campfire and heat the mouthpiece over the fire.

Zhou Jian held it in his hand but still didn't dare to blow it.

He swallowed hard.

Then he looked at Mike, this big guy was not to be messed with, and then looked at Jack, who, although he was also a big guy, was a simple-minded white man.

"Jack, my lung capacity isn't enough, you do it!"

Zhou Jian handed the bone flute to Jack. Jack wasn't one for tricks. He took it, looked at it, then took a deep breath and put his mouth to the mouthpiece.

"beep--!"

Immediately following was a powerful, penetrating flute melody.

"Everyone, get ready! Drag the savage corpses off the ground, but don't let anyone see you. The rest of you, hide and lie in ambush until those savages return!"

Shen Ye immediately gave the order.

At the same time, Shen Ye took the bone mask to the campfire to heat the inside, and then took out a bottle of water and rinsed it inside.

The smell wasn't as strong anymore.

Then, he put it directly on his face. The straps were made of animal skin rope. The mask was so heavy that it was uncomfortable to wear on his face and felt a bit rough.

However, the bone mask also has a hole at the top through which a leather strap is threaded, so it can be worn like a VR headset. The point of force is on the top of the head, so it won't fall down or press on the nose uncomfortably.

After Shen Ye put on the clothes, he tied the ropes and other items on the other person's body around his own waist. He didn't need to take off his clothes anymore, as his fair and tender body was impossible to disguise.

This current state can serve as a temporary distraction.

This makes unsuspecting savages willing to come out of the forest; otherwise, it would be very difficult to kill them.

"All of you prisoners must return to your original positions and not wander off, otherwise the camp will be in great danger if things are exposed," Shen Ye said to the other survivors.

They wouldn't easily disobey Shen Ye's orders, after all, Shen Ye had saved them many times. For survivors who had escaped death, Shen Ye's miraculous rescue was no different from God sending someone down to save them.

Combined with the persona Shen Ye had previously cultivated, most of the foreigners among them were now completely convinced.

Shen Ye rode on the back of the tendon dragon.

Looking through the holes in the bone mask at the primeval forest, Shen Ye felt a strong sense of immersion.

There's a misconception that he was born to exist in this world.

Of course, Shen Ye quickly ignored this illusion.

He was simply experiencing what it felt like for the savage leader to be sitting there. No one can resist the convenience and advanced information of modern life, and Shen Ye was no exception.

Therefore, he absolutely does not want to stay in this world, and if there is a way to go back, he will do whatever it takes.

Just at this time.

The sound of many bone flutes and horns echoed through the forest.

"What happened?"

Zhou Jian, who was squatting in the crowd, asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's responding to the camp's call?" Shen Ye shook his head.

The sound of horns in the forest soon faded away.

However, after quite some time, no wild men were seen emerging from the forest.

It was as if they had completely vanished.

At this moment, Ningbo led Da Pu out, and Ning Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ningbo was unharmed.

Cui Zhengxi walked over at this moment.

"I guess we didn't sound the horn correctly and they recognized it, or maybe the savages who just fled used the signal to gather the other savages and leave."

Cui Zhengxi said.

"This is a huge problem. These tribes have sent out more than 20 warriors to transport supplies, which proves that their tribe has at least 100 people. We killed their warrior leader, stole their supplies and dinosaurs, and now our camp location has been exposed. We're bound to face retaliation!"

Shen Ye said with great concern.

"The most crucial point is our camp. It has no defensive fortifications. If a tribal conflict really breaks out, it will be very difficult for us to remain undefeated."

Zhou Jian also looked annoyed.

Cui Zhengxi also agreed with this view.

"Let's gather our people back first, see how many are still alive, and then make our next move," Cui Zhengxi said.
