Bloodhoofed Pansaurus

Chapter 2 Inheritance Runes
Kane and Lei Mo followed the collection team of the Bloodhoof Tribe to the western foot of the Seti Mountains, where there was a small valley where the temporary camp was set up.

The camp facilities left over from last year are in dilapidated condition, damaged by various wild beasts and monsters, and also caused by natural erosion.

This valley is about thousands of square kilometers, and the trees are not very dense, but all of them are towering giant trees, with a diameter of more than ten meters are very common.

The collection team of the Bloodhoof Tribe is here to collect some fruits and hunt some wild animals, concoct furs, pickle bacon and dried fruits, and prepare for the coming winter.

A group of a hundred of them had to clear the camp first, cut down some bushes, and repair the fence of the camp. This was the first step, otherwise they would not be able to rest well at night.

When it comes to shrubs, compared to the thick and outrageous trees, they are all thick and thin wood at the mouth of a sea bowl, which can be seen everywhere.

What everyone has to do is to trim the wood into a regular shape so that it can be rammed into the soil to form a neat wooden wall to prevent the infestation of wild beasts or monsters at night.

Kane has already led a guard of 12 people to start patrolling the several kilometers around the camp, so as to avoid the activities of large beasts and low-level monsters without knowing it.

As for high-level monsters or large beasts, there is no such thing in this valley.

This small valley has been a temporary collection camp for the Bloodhoof Tribe for at least hundreds of years. In addition, it is in the outermost layer of the Seti Mountain Range, and there has never been a trace of high-level monsters.

Lei Mo was in charge of hunting some common beasts.The seventh-level fighters plus the racial power of the tauren basically hit the beast he was targeting with a "stick" and knocked him unconscious, picked it up and left.

Going back and bleeding and peeling the meat will not affect the quality of the meat at all.

Lei Mo only picked large beasts, and he didn't bring any means of transportation. Smaller beasts needed to be supplied in large quantities, which was extremely inconvenient.

Anyway, he has plenty of strength, and plateau deer, brown bears, and wild bighorn cattle are all his targets.

Bighorn cattle are the main animal power in the Bloodhoof tribe, and they have been domesticated through generations.

He has long been intimate with the bloodhoof tauren. Although the tauren do not reject meat or even beef, most of the beef comes from wild bighorn cattle. Tauren seldom kill domesticated bighorn cattle.

Dead tame bighorn cattle are also rarely eaten, and the tauren already regard them as companions.

The work of bloodletting and skinning is basically done by female tauren. They are also unbelievably strong, with an average height of more than four meters. Lei Mo is not interested at all.

They looked down on Lei Mo, but Lei Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of his daughter-in-law being a heifer over four meters long, Lei Mo's scalp tingled for a while.

It's okay, they don't like me like this, Lei Mo wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist in his mind again.

Lei Mo and the others arrived at the temporary camp at noon. In the evening, everyone had repaired the fence of the camp, and Lei Mo had already hunted enough meat!
Two majestic plateau deer, a brown bear, and three comatose but not dead bison.

Brown bears and highland deer had been killed, and the heifers had begun to be skinned.The bighorn bison were kept in pens in the temporary camp, where specially treated logs were used and simple runes were carved on them.

The Bloodhoof Tribe has no shaman priests, but there are several rune engravers trained by the Tauren clan. These logs are engraved with common strong runes.

Lei Mo always thought that the rune engraver of the tribe should also be regarded as a kind of magic profession, but after many inquiries, he found that the rune engraver did not understand the principle of those runes at all, and could achieve desired effect.

Lei Mo didn't know whether it was the existence of the runes, which conformed to certain rules or laws, or whether it was really some kind of manifestation of the spirit of the ancestors.

It was nerve-wracking, after Lei Mo was promoted to the seventh level, he felt that the blood hoof fighting qi was of little help to him, but the blood hoof fighting qi was already the most brilliant book of fighting qi in the tribe.

If this is a world I am familiar with, then the runes, totems, and ancestor spirits here are all imaginary, and understanding the laws or rules of the world is the way to reach the sky.

But now it's very uncomfortable. Lei Mo feels that his cultivation talent is already very good, but he really doesn't have any understanding of the so-called laws or rules.

It's been 18 years, did I stop at level seven, and then die of old age on this chaotic plateau?

I don't even know the name of this continent. Although the Plateau of Chaos is huge, it is only a small part of the continent. What should I do?
In the Bloodhoof Tribe, no one has heard of anyone who can comprehend any rules and regulations. They all work hard to cultivate the ancestral battle qi, and then upgrade to level nine. After 500 years, they will die.

If I don't study the runes handed down from the tauren's ancestral home, the dozen or so rune engravers in the tribe are all mallets.

He doesn't understand anything, he is not so much a rune engraver as a stonemason and carpenter, but he just replaces the engraved flowers, birds, insects and fish with mysterious runes, so it is impossible to ask for advice.

I can't give up, I can still study rune engraving, otherwise I can only work hard to accumulate fighting spirit, and slowly raise the level of fighters, and it may not be possible.

Although the Bloodhoof Tribe has always had ninth-level powerhouses, all of them fell, and it took 500 years to pile up a tribal pillar.There are very few times when there are two ninth-level powerhouses in the tribe at the same time.

The current Chief Bloodhoof is only over 300 years old. According to the information Kane inquired about, the birth of the second ninth level is possible in about a hundred years.

How can I guarantee that I am the one who breaks through? If I don’t hunt monsters and fight, how can I become stronger?

In the past, the ninth level was produced in the hunting team. I have never heard that the gathering team has produced a ninth-level strong man!
Alas, I am so helpless.

"Uncle Paro, you're done!"

Lei Mo got close with the rune engraver Paro who came out this time.

"That's right, it's very simple. It's the same way every time, nothing changes." Paro replied casually.

"What? Your kid is interested in this again?"

Lei Mo pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Hey, Uncle Paro, you know me, the tribe hunting team doesn't want me, and they don't think I'm not enough tauren, so I wonder if I can learn something else so that I can get a wife in the future .”

Paro looked disgusted.

"That's all you have, kid. If you don't work hard, you just want to ask for a wife. There are more good guys in the tribe who are older than you. You can just wait in the back."

"Rune engraving can be taught to you first, but you have to participate in the pilgrimage to the ancestral court every ten years. Only with the blessing of the ancestors can you master rune engraving. Otherwise, even if you engrave it, it will not have any effect. You have to know this .”

"I know, I know, just teach me. I have already asked about this. I just learn to engrave first. Isn't the pilgrimage to the ancestral home once every ten years starting soon? Just in time."

Lei Mo quickly agreed.

　Ask for a ticket!
