Original War

Chapter 33-The Road to Glory

Early the next morning, Shao Xuan tied an animal skin bag with gravel and ran to the training ground with Caesar.

I used to be scared when I wasn’t awakened. If I didn’t pay attention, I would get hurt by mistake, or even belch. Now I have a lot of confidence, at least not so weak.

The people of the tribe don’t know too many tricks. They only imagine a prey, and then react more directly according to the prey’s habits.

Some warriors will treat the mountain wall as some kind of beast, and then fist and kick the mountain wall. Therefore, if you see where there is flying sand and rocks on the mountain, don’t be surprised, it’s just a certain totem fighter practicing boxing.

Just like what I saw at Wu that night, the ordinary stone “spear” can be interrupted by a single punch.

After Shao Xuan ran over to the training site, he chose a mountain, carried another stone, and ran up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. During the run, he took a look at a place on the mountain with good stone quality, and went to dig.

“Fortunately, there is such a special ability.” Shao Xuan looked at the different shades of gray in his vision, and said with emotion.

Compared with the power of totem, another ability in Shao Xuan’s body undoubtedly helped him a lot, saving him time and effort to find it.

Shao Xuan couldn’t beat the middle-to-high-grade stone, and he hit it with his bare hands. The pain was still his own hand.

After knocking and digging down the fancy stone, and looking at the sky, Shao Xuan ran back carrying the stone close to noon. Going back to the wooden house to eat, and taking the dug out stones to Laoke’s side.

In the afternoon, Shao Xuandu arranged to study stone tools.

Looking at simple stone tools, there are many techniques, not just percussion.

“First of all, you have to understand the quality of the stone. Even if it is a stone core of the same hardness, the method of striking it may not be the same.” Old Ke took out two stone cores of the same stone and said.

Shao Xuan watched as Old Ke beat and peeled one of them directly, while the other was subjected to cold heat treatment. Old Ke and Shao Xuan explained the color change and cooling time of several stones after heating.

Some stones will change more or less in color and texture after heating, while some stones just change the texture, and some have no response to the heating process. Sometimes the heating must grasp the temperature, what temperature is the best for peeling, and what temperature is not suitable for peeling, etc. need to be understood. And this temperature can only be measured by feeling and experience when there is no precise instrument to measure it.

For example, Shao Xuan felt the same temperature, and Old Ke could tell which temperature was higher by just touching the stone core.

Different stones react differently to different temperatures, heating times, cooling changes and other personalities.

Old Ke put one of the two stone cores just taken out and burned it on the fire, holding a stone stick in one hand, and sandwiching the stone core in between.

The fire burned very vigorously, as if he was about to dry people, and he could sweat all over his body after a short while by the fire. Old Ke’s face was also covered with sweat, but his hands were still very steady, turning the stone. Nuclear action is also very neat.

After half an hour, the stone core that was heated on the fire changed from gray to reddish brown, and Old Ke clamped the stone core away from the fire, but did not start to peel the stone leaves, but waited for the stone core. It gradually cooled and the brownish-red color became lighter before peeling.

The peeled stone leaves are almost the same thickness, whether they are slender or discs!

What kind of control can this be done?!

At least in Shao Xuan’s previous concept, it is impossible to achieve this level without those advanced cutting tools.

The so-called “ideal polishing” is actually a very complicated process, and people who don’t understand this way can’t imagine it at all.

After theory is practice, Shao Xuan practiced peeling stone leaves for most of the afternoon.

“Too much waste, come again!”

“What is this stripping, come again!”

“The hammer swing is too poorly controlled, come again!”

“Wait! Can this kind of stone be peeled directly? You eat too much fish?! Take it and burn it again!!”

…

Some people who live closer to Lao Ke know that Lao Ke’s temper has become more violent recently. Talking about Shao Xuan, they all shook their heads and sighed, “My poor boy A Xuan!”

In fact, the situation in the house was not as miserable as the people of the tribe thought.

Lao Ke was not forgiving, and he was very troubled with Professor Shao Xuan’s stone skills, and he was willing to stone core.

Shao Xuan knocked five stone cores in the afternoon. Except for the one he brought with him, the other four were all old Kowns. The stones were not bad. It was a waste to use them as practice stones. Old K didn’t feel bad. Shao Xuan himself looked ashamed.

Every day from Lao Ke back to the own wooden house tiredly, Shao Xuan felt that his muscles were tingling, and the tingling sensation became more and more intense. He gritted his teeth when setting up a stone pot and lighting a fire. He was holding a stone hammer. It was even worse, it was hot, and it took a few times to set up the stone pot to be successful.

Shao Xuan felt that he was beaten not by the stone core, but by himself. However, he slept soundly at night and woke up with a refreshing body, as if the muscle tingling yesterday was just an illusion.

I just don’t know if this is the ability possessed by the totem warrior itself, or it is caused by another special ability.

In the early morning of this day, Shao Xuan planned to go to the training site just like the previous few days. Yesterday he was optimistic about a place where the stone materials were good, and several good stone cores could be dug out, so that it would save the use of Laoke’s all the time. What should I do if I knock Lao Ke poor?

As soon as he walked, Shao Xuan realized that something was wrong. People who are not so active on weekdays all get up early and gather in the same direction.

After thinking about it, Shao Xuan patted his forehead.

Almost forgot! Today is the day when Lang Ga and the others are out hunting! !

Raising his leg and turning around, Shao Xuan led Caesar to the place where the crowd gathered.

There is a road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which extends almost in a straight line, and the road is higher than other places around it, and no one builds houses on it. The hunting team will pass this road when they go out and return. Will not interfere with other residents in the tribe.

Over time, this road also formed another meaning. The people of the tribe call it the “Road to Glory”.

It’s like saying goodbye to the soldiers who are about to enter the battlefield. People’s moods are naturally complicated, with pride, heaviness, and hope, because they don’t know whether their families are still in good condition when the hunting team returns? Can you bring back enough food?

Most of the people gathered on both sides of the “Road to Glory” were the families of the soldiers of the hunting team who went out this time, ranging from the elderly to the children. When the hunting team returns, these people will be here again. And the mood of the two times will naturally be completely different.

However, in addition to welcoming and sending off the hunting team, among the soldiers of the hunting team, this road also represents this kind of meaning, a kind of affirmation of their own strength, if Shao Xuan describes it, for many fighters, that A road is a “road to show off wealth.”

Returning from the hunt, it is clear at a glance who gets how much food, just like the disclosure of assets. Wealthy people will naturally not lack reputation, status, and women. These are things worth showing off.

“Come!” someone shouted.

Shao Xuan looked over.

Two hundred people came down from the mountain. The leader of the hunting team was walking in the front. Shao Xuan met on the night of the sacrifice. Not only the leader, but also the people behind the leader, Shao Xuan felt familiar. It was dancing at the firepit that night.

People who walked down the mountain, whether with a smile on their face or a solemn face, walked with great momentum at every step, quite like a battlefield general.

At the back of the team, among the tall soldiers, the obviously short children were very eye-catching. Among them are the leader’s Longsun Spear, and Fei, which was previously shown in front of Shao Xuan.

“Hey, who are those kids?”

“It’s natural to be able to follow and participate in the first hunt.”

“These are the top abilities among the fighters who have awakened this year.”

“Hey, that’s a spear, right? It’s the grandson of the leader!”

…

The crowd was talking.

Saidad pointed to the Fei and others in the hunting team, and said to the track: Look, they are about the same size as you, and the same group of awakened people can join the first hunt. How about you?

Said his neck, “Who told you not to live on the mountain?”

Said Daddy choked and slapped him with two fists and two slaps.
