Chapter 526: The tribe under the ice

The Tianhuang tribe has changed.

After Li Yuan told the witch and the shaman about the flint formation, this severe winter seemed to be full of different hopes for the Tianhuang tribe.

After many attempts and discussions, they decided to take out all the fire stones of the entire tribe.

Fence off all the tribe’s habitats.

However, although this kind of fire stone is not very rare, the Tianhuang tribe currently does not have much in stock.

After calculations by the witches and shamans, even if everyone contributed fire stones for heating, it would still not be enough.

This resulted in the Tianhuang tribe having to take the risk of sending two teams to a nearby flint vein before setting up their formation, to try to find a mine and start mining.

With the help of Li Yuan's magic, they successfully climbed out of the ice and headed to the flint mine.

In the severe winter snow and wind, even a race as vigorous as the innate human race cannot hold on for long.

The witch came up with an idea. He made many miniature flint circles, tied them to animal skins, and let them carry them on their bodies.

Protected their bodies.

This ensures that they will not die from rapid hypothermia.

Li Yuan also contributed his efforts, absorbing spiritual energy in his own way and casting a spell whose name he couldn't even remember.

It can allow people who go out to mine to move faster and will not easily get lost in the snow.

After more than a month of hard work, the required fire stones were finally mined.

During this period, several soldiers were unfortunately hit by the falling snow and ice outside the mine, breaking through the flint formation on their bodies and dying in the ice and snow.

This is a risk that is unavoidable and sadly, it is.

Their names were engraved on the tribe’s stone tablet by the witches and shamans, and will be remembered forever by the descendants of the Tianhuang tribe.

Among the returning soldiers, some said that they seemed to have seen some hazy and huge figures in the ice and snow from a long distance, but they were full of hesitation and did not dare to be sure.

In the end, everyone thought it was some particularly powerful primitive beast and no longer took it seriously.

After gathering the required fire stones, the Tianhuang tribe started a special event.

Under the thick layer of ice, all the hibernating members of the Tianhuang tribe were awakened. They took tools from their houses, dug passages, and created a suitable space for activities.

The powerful physical strength of the innate human race was well demonstrated at this moment.

The ice, which was harder than stone, was ground down bit by bit by the unremitting hammering of the people of the Tianhuang tribe and turned into broken ice fragments.

Some of the strong warriors in the hunting team were working very hard and even competing with each other.

Jiang Shi, the 'hunter' and 'young talent' respected by many people of the Tianhuang tribe, took off his animal skin clothes and started to fight with his bare arms.

Originally, Jiang Shi, who had been awakened from hibernation many times, felt a little impatient.

But after the witch and the shaman told everyone and let everyone witness the incident of the flint formation.

Jiang Shi's eyes glowed, and he immediately transformed into an 'ice miner', with more enthusiasm than anyone else.

All his relatives died in the severe winter. No one wanted to prove more than him whether the "world" in the severe winter could survive!

Especially when Li Yuan stepped in to assist, it was like a dimensionality reduction attack on the excavation.

No matter how stubborn the ice is, it cannot withstand the power of magic.

The witch and shaman, together with the high-ranking leaders of the Tianhuang tribe, commanded the remaining tribesmen to place fire stones at the edge of the opened space.

Under the ice layer that covered everything, the Tianhuang tribe became active again by living in caves.

When the flint formation completely covered the living area of ​​the Tianhuang tribe, an inexplicable rhythm slowly grew.

The space beneath the ice layer began to slowly warm up.

Not to mention being completely isolated from the icy cold environment that is almost a rule in severe winter, but wearing thick animal skins can allow one to stay alone for a while.

Everyone in the Tianhuang tribe was overjoyed. They walked out of their houses one after another and faced the "world" outside in the severe winter with curiosity for the first time.

Fortunately, the winter has not yet reached its harshest moment.

They dug out a huge 'ice cave' in time, stabilized it, and avoided some collapse incidents in time.

In previous years, when the severe winter reached its most desperate time, a large number of stone houses would collapse under the pressure of ice and snow tens of meters thick, turning into ruins.

It will not be discovered until the severe winter is over and the ice and snow melt.

This year is quite special.

The vast plateau and the sky full of snow and wind.

A small part of the hundred-meter-tall trees in the primeval forest were almost buried in ice and snow.

On the 'earth', there is almost no trace of any weak creatures.

All that was left was endless white snow.

But under the ice layer of more than ten meters that was melted from the snow.

However, a tribe of innate humans is reviving, digging out unimaginable space, allowing the soil to reappear and becoming active again.

"This is... something that cannot be imagined."

The leader of the Tianhuang tribe is a majestic and strong man.

So far, he is already 150 years old, which is the prime age of the innate human race.

He had experienced sixty or seventy severe winters and saw countless tribesmen die silently in the severe winters. He had long lost a certain mentality.

Until the appearance of the Flint Formation, until... the appearance of Li Yuan.

The leader of the Tianhuang tribe felt as if the dusty shackles in his heart were touched.

People from the Tianhuang tribe gathered in the excavated tribal center.

The leader took Li Yuan's arm and faced all the tribesmen living under the ice.

"This world...it's already difficult for us just to survive..."

"How many years... since our ancestors, maybe five thousand... ten thousand years?"

"We have been hunting for 10,000 years, and we still use stone spears and wear animal skins!"

"Because of the cruelty of the severe winter, even our ancestors could not bear it and were nearly wiped out!"

"It caused the bloodline of the Tianhuang tribe to be almost cut off, and the civilization was also broken. It almost developed again... several times!"

"But...this child...the appearance of Li Yuan!"

The leader of the Tianhuang tribe was a little excited.

"He made us understand that this world... still has many secrets that we haven't discovered yet!"

"Our ancestors recorded that we discovered the flame stone six thousand years ago and used it as a tool for making fire and keeping warm. We thought that was all it could do."

"But Li Yuan is different. He studies and thinks!"

"He brought a new path called 'Array', which made the insignificant Fire Stone the key to protecting our tribe from the harsh winter!"

The mood of the Tianhuang tribe leader at this moment is somewhat difficult to describe.

But he had a keen sense of perception and he understood that this was a sign, a trend of change!

After communicating with the two wise men, the witch and the shaman, he felt that he needed to awaken the spirit of exploration among his people!

It’s time for the thoughts that have been imprisoned by the harsh winter and strangled by the pressure of survival to break through!

Li Yuan’s arrival and those incomprehensible means are the best time!

Thousands of people from the Tianhuang tribe looked at the leader, seeing his excitement, and then looked at Li Yuan next to the leader, with different expressions.

However, someone will eventually choose to embark on this path of exploration out of curiosity or responsibility...
