Chronicles of Primordial Wars

After the strong wind, heavy raindrops fell, and the winter sunshine that lasted in the sky was finally obscured by thick clouds. For people in many places on land, they have never felt dark clouds so kindly.

The raindrops fell hurriedly, and soon they were like pouring water.

The thirsty earth greedily absorbs the rain, and the smell of mud is everywhere.

Tourists excitedly carried out the pottery jars to collect water. In the past winter, they used their labor to exchange food and water from Yanjiao, and the exchange was not much. Some people complained, but they understood the situation outside. , and no one will speak again, for fear of being driven away, although the water in exchange is small, but at least they can support them to live until now.

A torrential rain seems to have extinguished the anger of the beasts in the mountains and forests, and the beasts who had been irritable for a winter were appeased. You can guess their mood from their cheerful roars.

The people of the tribe are responsible for their respective duties, those who are on duty guarding, those who take care of the farmland, those who manage animal pens, those who make pottery, those who weave...all are ready to start work. It was too hot before, and they didn't even want to move any more. The work at hand was naturally put on hold. Now, they can finally start again.

The wilting seedlings in the ground are also rare, and the leaves in the mountains and forests are much greener.

Although the extreme weather has passed, the guards and defenses in various places have not been lowered. The two leaders take turns to go out to supervise every day, even in the stormy weather.

"Everything, be cautious!"

This is what the two witches said after the sacrifice.

Although the two of them had no way of knowing what was going to happen, they had a strong sense of crisis, regardless of which tribe they were targeting, it was an indescribable sense of danger.

If the two witches have different opinions, they may need to go through some disputes, but both witches say the same thing, this is definitely something that is going to happen to the Yanjiao people, and they can't be sloppy.

One sunny day after the rain, the hunting party set off. Hunting in the mountains.

Shao Xuan entered the mountain forest with the team. The green-faced Fangs had already taken blood and fed them. Naturally, someone took care of him, and he didn't need to keep staring.

Enter the forest again. Everyone in the team found that many trees in the forest had turned black, and they looked like they had withered. Some of the trees that had no vitality had been worm-eaten and riddled with holes. If they were cut down. There can be a lot of small bugs spewing out.

Carrying the prey, Shao Xuan came to the cave where he rested with the team.

"I remember, there used to be a small stream here." Shao Xuan pointed to a place on the mountain and said.

"Indeed, but I haven't seen it now. Maybe there will be no water after the winter is dry." said Mai next to him. He didn't know very much about the various reasons for the formation of streams. He only knew that even if the streams and rivers dried up in autumn and winter, it was spring. When the snow melts or there is a lot of rain, it will flow again, but now that the stream in front of the mountain is gone, he can't say why. It's gone, it's gone.

Saying that, Mai carried the prey into the cave, and the others looked there and saw nothing, so they followed into the cave, leaving only Shao Xuan standing outside, looking at the original location of the stream.

"I'll go to its place to see." Shao Xuan said to the people resting in the cave.

under curiosity. Mai and several other soldiers also followed Shao Xuan, and they wanted to see what Shao Xuan found.

Shao Xuan remembered that there was a river nearby. It was not big, but there were often some river beasts ambushing in it.

The stream is broken. It may be because there is no snow on the mountain this year, and the extremely hot winter has wiped out the snow that has been covering the top of the mountain all the year round. However, the river over there, not only the melting snow stream flows into it, but also the groundwater. It rained so much a few days ago, even if the stream couldn't be formed, the rainwater flowed into the river, and the water infiltrated into the rocks and soil of the mountains, forests, and soil, the river level would always rise a lot, right? It rained a lot the other day.

However, when Shao Xuan passed by, he found that there were only a few small fish swimming lazily in the river, and the slightly larger river beasts were not seen. The reason was that the river surface was too low!

The river is too shallow, some river beasts will not like such diving areas,

Of course it doesn't appear here.

Seeing such a low river level, Mai and others were also surprised, but they were only surprised for a while. They thought that it might be because the forest was too "thirsty". After a rain, the forest "drinked" the rain. part, so not much rain is given to the river.

However, even if the mountains and forests can absorb and retain a lot of rainwater, what about groundwater?

A torrential rain that lasted for several days, failed to raise the river? Even if the rise is not obvious, it is not just a little river water right now!

In the past, the river water here often had a muddy yellow color, because the river beasts in the river liked to stir up the sediment at the bottom of the river, but now, the river water is not only shallow, but also much clearer, which means that there has not been a river at all in recent times. Beast here!

"Let's go to the next place. I remember that there is a cave here."

When Shao Xuan was hunting around here with the hunting team, he once discovered a cave with a pool of water, but the water there was red, and there were some tiny creatures swimming in it, even if it was filtered and boiled. The water was also not drinkable, and Shao Xuan stopped going after that.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Shao Xuan's eyes changed. Not only Shao Xuan, but several other warriors, who were more sensitive, already felt that something was wrong.

In the past, when they came, they could feel the cool and moist water vapor in the wind as soon as they entered the cave, as well as the faint sweet smell emitted by some shade-loving plants growing in the cave. However, now, neither the water vapor nor the smell of those plants can be smelled!

Shao Xuan walked in. In the past, he would see a layer of shallow water on the ground when he walked in a few steps. Now that he has walked in more than ten meters, the ground in the cave and the surrounding stone walls are still dry.

Mai took the water moon stone and illuminated the surrounding area.

no water!

Still no water!

The further you go in, the more the terrain goes down, until only some small underground holes are left**.

"There is no water in this hole!" The Flaming Horn Warriors who had just experienced a strange winter suddenly felt their throats dry.

How can there be no water? !

At this time, they already understood Shao Xuan's purpose, and everyone became vigilant.

I thought this crisis was over, but I didn't expect it to still exist.

Take a closer look at the ground. On the uneven stone cave floor, there are some dried red things that can be scraped off a lot with a knife.

"These are..." Mai squeezed the red scraps scraped from the ground into a ball, crushed them with his fingers, and the scraps quickly turned into powder.

"These are the things that lived in this pool before. Now, they are all dead." Shao Xuan frowned and walked out.

Hearing Shao Xuan's words, Mai and the others felt that their throats were even more dry, would they die of thirst without water?

After that, during the hunting in the next few days, Shao Xuan went to find several water sources.

The weather seems to be normal, but the water level in many places is still declining, especially the water sources that are generated by the collection of groundwater. are also on the verge of drying up, and it is only a matter of time before they dry up completely.

At the same time, within the Lu tribe.

I thought the dark times were over, but I didn't expect that the days were not so easy. The water pool that their tribe has always occupied, the water level has dropped lower, and it has not risen at all because of the heavy rain some time ago. It was obvious that the surrounding rain was pouring into it, but the water in the pool was still falling.

why? (To be continued.)
