Chronicles of Primordial Wars

After the snow, the forest was covered with a layer of white.

Shao Xuan followed the hunting team out, mostly to look for beasts with thick skin but there were no hairy beasts around. In the winter, they came out less. They also hunted mostly the long-haired beasts that could be made into fur coats.

Because Shao Xuan, an Elder, participated, this winter hunting involved a lot of people. Everyone was really motivated.

In addition to hunting, Shao Xuan also went to the dry riverbed to pick up some stones. In his free time, he’d make some glowing crystal again for everyone to use as a light source, since the winter nights would be longer. With those crystal stones, everyone’s lives were made easier.

During the winter hunt, Shao Xuan hunted a long-haired beast for his ritual clothes.

When the snowfall in the mountains increased, the tribe would no longer be able to go out. The river around the tribe was also frozen. Instead of putting down the bridge, you could directly walk on it. The children of the tribe liked to skate on it too.

For the tribes, winter equates to boredom. Every day, a group of three to five would get together to plan activities to teach the new warriors. They couldn’t go out to hunt, so they could only use other ways to spend their extra energy.

Tonight, there were a lot of people thinking about Shao Xuan. However, they never expected that there suddenly would be a flame giant in the fire pit!

If Shao Xuan was here and the flame giant appeared, they could still remain calm. However, Shao Xuan was not here now!

Consequently, the flame giant that appeared did not show any interest in the people below it. The figure composed of huge flames slowly turned towards a certain direction.

When the shaman looked at the lit-up box, his hands shook excitedly, nearly shaking out the bone ornaments in the box.

“He found it! Ah-Xuan must have found them!”

The others didn’t understand what the Shaman was saying, only that what the Shaman meant was that Shao Xuan was still alive. This was enough.

“When will he return?”

The others may have thought that the shaman only meant Shao Xuan, but Chief Ao standing next to him knew that this statement meant it was not just Shao Xuan.

At the end of the ceremony, no one was calm.

The Flaming Horn tribe of the Fearsome Beast forest were thinking about when Shao Xuan would come back, while the shaman and the chief were wondering if Shao Xuan actually found the other part of the Flaming Horn tribe. On the other side of the sea, the crowd was also thinking. The flame giant looked in a certain direction, so the ancestors wanted to convey something to them. Some people guessed the reason, therefore, they had a sleepless night.

Chief Luo sent a team of people with Shao Xuan to the coast where Shao Xuan landed to see if there was an undersea passage. Only that the result was a disappointment when they returned.

Not only was there no safe passage, Shao Xuan couldn’t even see that undersea passage where he came from. It was probably still not the time yet.

Even if they saw it, Shao Xuan felt that they couldn’t be sure that many people could survive in the tunnel except him.

He wasn’t saying it was not a disappointment. But this side had a very rich civilization and staying here could also offer a good life. However, Shao Xuan still wanted to go back to the other side’s Flaming Horn tribe so he could reunite with everybody.

Build a ship? Not only were their skills lacking, but it would also be difficult to build one capable of supporting such a long voyage. There also seemed to be a lot of monsters in the sea. A whip of its tail could be all it took to overturn them. It was as dangerous as crossing through the tunnel.

Come to think of it, Shao Xuan felt that, if the bridge at the bottom of the sea were to rise, then everyone would be able to move directly from one continent to another, as they did thousands of years ago.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have that ability.

Forget it. They’d just wait for another chance, or look for other ways.

By the time they got back to the tribe from the coast, the weather was already warm. Some people had begun to try to grow crops in small fields within the tribe. Even if they didn’t grow much, it was worth it if they could grow something to relieve the pressure on food. Besides, the shamaness had told everyone that while hunting was important, planting was too. This skill couldn’t be wasted.

It was still a little time away from the next hunt. Looking at the busy people in the fields, Shao Xuan then asked the experienced growers some questions. He remembered that he actually had something important at hand.

Earlier, he had snatched some thousand gold grains from the rodents together with Old Ju. Shao Xuan still had a bit with him. He brought it with him as he also wanted to plant them. However, he had been busy. Shao Xuan had forgotten about it until today.

He took out the bag containing the grains. They looked dull in the light when he took them out.

After looking at these dark gold grains, Shao Xuan put them away again. He’d take them to the experienced growers. Would they be able to grow it with the climate here?
