Chapter 66 The Witch's Apprentice

Niu Xu didn't go forward rashly to touch the corpses and the fire. Before that, he had to make sure that the cave was safe enough; otherwise, who knew what would happen after touching the fire.

Holding up the torch in one hand and vigilantly guarding the half of the stone knife in front of him with the other, Niu Xu began to explore along the corner of the cave; according to the numerous traces on the ground, these six people lived in the cave for a period of time, He just sat there and died.

On the ground here, there are many animal skins rolled into scrolls, carefully tied up with small vines and the like, but because of the long time, those vines have long decayed. The rolled animal skin scrolls were also scattered all over the place.

After picking up a piece of animal skin, just because of the musty feel in his hand, Niu Xu secretly said "no". up.

After opening it, it was as he expected, the red paint used in the animal skin scroll, the recorded things had already been blurred; except for a little bit of the corners of the graphics, nothing else could be seen clearly.

But that fuzzy figure, how Niu Xu looked at it, was the same as the tribal totem of the Blackstone tribe that was branded on his right shoulder after he participated in the ancestor priest ceremony of the Blackstone tribe last time: it looked like a piece of coal gangue.

A bold guess suddenly came to Niu Xu's mind: Could these people be the ancestors of the Heishi tribe? But it seems very likely.

I remember what Kui said in his mouth, when they were defeated by foreign tribes on the plain outside the mountains, the number of remnant soldiers who fled to Luolei Mountains was two to three thousand.

However, in the process of fleeing, the team was broken up due to the attacks of fierce beasts and local tribes; then it makes sense for one of them to wander here and be completely wiped out.

Moreover, judging from the excellent stone weapons on the ground, the status of the team that wandered here should not be lower than that of the Blackstone tribe; The team is much higher...

After checking, Niu Xu didn't find any threats, nor did he find anything useful; according to the previous experience of the ancestors of the priests of the Black Stone Tribe, Niu Xu felt that the fire with the size of Mars should not be hostile to him. .

So he plucked up his courage and approached the circle of corpses sitting together; walking in front of the corpses, Niu Xu respectfully bowed to the corpses, and said in his mouth: "Dear ancestors of the Black Stone Tribe, And this great fire, I am Niu Xu, the most sincere friend of the Blackstone Tribe."

"I don't know why you summoned me here? But I think it's nothing more than bringing your corpses and this great fire back to your people; I can be sure of this and it will definitely help You can do it."

Speaking of this, Niu Xu paused, and then made an oath to the six corpses: "At the same time, as the most sincere friend of the Black Stone Tribe, I will try my best to help the Black Stone Tribe. The tribe gradually became stronger."

After finishing speaking, Niu Xu bowed and lowered his head again, and after putting his hands together, he stretched out his palms upwards.

The kindling that burned out of thin air was suspended, as if it understood Niu Xu's words, it slowly rose up full of spirituality, and after hovering a few times reluctantly over the head of the corpse in the middle, it slowly moved towards Niu Xu's stall. The open palm slowly flew over.

Seeing this, Niu Xu, who kept bowing his body, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart: This method is really useful, otherwise he would not know how to collect this magical fire; otherwise, he accidentally extinguished it. Not only would the most sincere friend of the Blackstone Tribe fail to do so, but it would also become their life and death enemy.

But at the moment when the fire seed fell on Niu Xu's palm, the fire seed exploded slightly, and a few invisible sparks exploded; The flashing lightning will still shine...

Niu Xu only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and pictures flashed in his mind; it was a witch from the Blackstone tribe, or a picture that a witch's apprentice remembered all his life:

The carefree childhood, the supreme glory when he was selected as a witch's apprentice, and the experience of learning witchcraft when he was young; The remnants of the tribe, as well as the tribal tinder divided into several parts, fled towards the dangerous Luolei Mountains.

In the last dozens of pictures, it is recorded that this witch apprentice led more than a dozen separated tribesmen, wandered into this strange underground labyrinth, survived with difficulty, and finally died here one by one.

Before he died, his greatest wish was to return the inheritance of the many tribes he carried on his body, as well as this divided fire seed, to the Blackstone tribe, hoping that the tribe would rise again one day...

Like a silent slide show, after Niu Xu finished watching it, he roughly understood the origins of the corpses in front of him; the corpses in the outer circle were master guards, and the corpse in the center was the one in the picture just now. The protagonist of the book, the witch's apprentice.

It is indeed a very respectable group of people. Before they died, they never forgot the inheritance of the tribe and looked forward to the re-emergence of the tribe; although, they may not have thought of it, because after more than a hundred years, not only those beasts who recorded the inheritance of the tribe The leather rolls are all damaged.

Even the most important kindling looked as if it was exhausted and could be extinguished at any time.

The crisp sound of "Ding Dong" came from the direction of the corpse, and at the same time successfully awakened Niu Xu from his thoughts.

Niu Xu glanced at the positions of the corpses, and almost cried out in surprise; while he was looking at the pictures in his mind, the six corpses had been completely decomposed without a sound, leaving only the ground on the ground. Six Tan Ashes, a black bone dagger and a jade tablet.

The appearance of the black stone short knife is the same as the one that is regarded as a treasure, and the workmanship of the jade plate is also extremely rough and unrestrained; it's just that Niu Xu is not in the mood to observe carefully here.

He found a relatively complete stone bowl on the ground, and carefully put the fire into the bowl; otherwise, he would hold it in the palm of his hand so close to the flesh, although as for burning his hands, that would not be a problem.

Then he used half a stone knife to cut off a large piece of fabric from the thermal clothing on his body, wrapped all the ashes from the six beaches, and put them in his backpack.

Only then did he stand up and start to return to the original road.
