The God Game: From Creation of Man

Chapter 6 Fire

Li Xiang sat cross-legged on the ground, holding down the wooden stick on the ground with one hand, and gently placed a little bit of hay on it with the other hand.

Faintly, it seems that a little spark can be seen flickering in it.

Move your mouth forward and blow slightly.

Trying to ignite the dry grass with these tiny sparks.

But accidentally, with a whir, the spark went out again.

Drill wood for fire.

But this seems to be different from what Li Xiang saw on TV.

He had tried six or seven times, and several of the sticks were broken, but he still couldn't ignite the dry grass.

It seems that the hay is not dry enough, and it is a little wet, so it is difficult to be ignited by sparks.

However, this did not hinder Li Xiang's inner expectation.

With a flame, you can eat cooked meat yourself.

Seeing other people in the tribe eating raw meat and inviting him to join him, he somewhat resisted.

and……

The meaning of fire is far more than just food.

His behavior attracted the attention of a small child.

The six or seven-year-old child approached naughtily, squatting in front of Li Xiang and watching his strange movements.

Duduzui, humming, opened his big watery eyes, watching very curiously.

Li Xiang looked up, but didn't speak.

Just keep repeating rubbing the sparks and putting the hay on it carefully to start the fire.

Half an hour later, under Li Xiang's unremitting efforts.

Finally, a faint flame rose slowly from the dry grass.

Li Xiang hurriedly placed it carefully on the pile of firewood that had just been placed.

After a while, a familiar red light rose from it, and a sense of warmth came from above.

Ow!Ow!Ow!
The flames rose, but a woman's roar came from inside the cave.

Everyone looked at the rising flames in horror, their eyes full of fear.

They've seen this thing before.

When there is heavy rain in the sky and thunder falls, some trees will be lit with this red light.

That is a terrible demon!

Even the strongest warriors of the tribe could not touch the throbbing red light.

If you touch it forcibly, you will be bitten severely, and your entire hand will be injured.

Therefore, seeing the red light in front of Li Xiang, everyone was terrified.

The little one's mother just took her away immediately and hid her behind her back.

There were even a few people who wanted to come up and take Li Xiang away, fearing that he would be bitten by this damned demon.

But Li Xiang waved his hand to signal them to be quiet.

Afterwards, he took out a piece of steak skewered with branches, and grilled it not far from the flame.

In order to increase the flavor, Li Xiang even prepared some peels, crushed them into crumbs and sprinkled them on top.

After a while, the rich meaty aroma filled the entire cave.

Everyone's mouths were dripping with saliva, even a few children were no exception.

They all looked at the steak in Li Xiang's hand with incredible eyes.

But even so, they still didn't dare to approach, and were still afraid of the burning flame.

Li Xiang stood up and spoke to everyone.

Tell them that this is the power given to them by God, which can allow them to purify the diseases in the food and resist the invasion of other wild animals.

But now, as the second person in the tribe, he asked all of them to sit down.

Taste this rare delicacy with him.

As he spoke, he handed a piece of roasted meat to a woman who was closer.

She is "Shi", the mother of the child just now.

Shi looked at the Prophet, then at the flame, and finally took a bite out of the roast, fighting back his fear.

Immediately, her expression became very shocked, and an indescribable fragrance erupted from her nasal cavity and rushed directly to her brain.

Barely chewing, she swallowed the piece of meat.

Then began to continue to gobble like a glutton.

Incredibly delicious!
Sure enough, as the prophet said, this is a miracle bestowed on them by God.

Later, as Li Xiang continued to grill the meat, more and more people enjoyed the delicious food, and at the same time, they were much less afraid of the flames.

A few smarter women surrounded Li Xiang, constantly rubbing against him, as if they wanted to establish a closer relationship with him.

In the tribal era, there was no sense of belonging between husband and wife. Although the Prophet is not strong, he can barbecue and control flames, and he is also very attractive.

This frightened Li Xiang very much, even more frightened than they saw the fire.

Li Xiang asked several people to prepare some firewood, trying not to let the flames go out as much as possible.

It was too troublesome to set up this thing, and Li Xiang would feel sorry for himself if it was extinguished.

What's worth mentioning is that Li Xiang saw that the child who was squatting to observe his movements just now found two wooden sticks and some hay, and began to learn to make sparks by himself.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiang smiled.

The significance of fire to human civilization is too great.

With the flame, they can eat cooked food and increase their ability to absorb food. The high temperature of the flame can also kill most parasites and microorganisms and prevent diseases.

With the flame, they can intimidate other animals in the forest and keep their territory safe.

It is a light source and a source of heat in cold winter days.

Whether they can master fire is almost the biggest difference between humans and ancient apes.

And most importantly, a blizzard is coming soon.

Li Xiang needs to increase the survival probability of the entire tribe as much as possible, and increase the possibility of himself surviving.

time flies.

Soon, the sky darkened, and when the sun was about to set, Kai returned with the rest of the tribe.

As soon as he got close to the cave, the man who dared to fight with horns was shocked.

The whole person, like a dormant cheetah, entered a state of vigilance from a distance.

Dozens of torches were inserted at the entrance of the cave, and the bright fire light illuminated the small half of the mountain.

If it wasn't for Li Xiang and several members of the tribe standing at the door to greet them.

Kay almost thought that something had happened to them all.

After explaining for a while, and letting Kai and the others eat a piece of barbecue, the group of people finally let go of their panic.

Following the example of women, they began to try to make torches, learn how to make fire, and how to roast meat.

Kai even looked at Li Xiang with such eyes, firmly believing that his decision to include Li Xiang into the tribe was correct.

No matter what his status is, the tribe has become more and more prosperous!

Under the night.

Kai and a few big men built a bonfire with a pile of firewood at the entrance of the cave.

The fire light illuminated the entire cave, and even at the foot of the mountain, one could still see the rising brightness.

This is the first light of mankind in the wild age, the first night away from darkness.

It didn't take long for Kai and the others to dance around the bonfire.

The movements are rough and mysterious, revealing a kind of magic that makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"ring!"

"ring!"

"ring!"

They cheered Li Xiang's name and celebrated the great flame brought by the prophet.

-

In the darkness not far away.

More than a dozen hungry wolves looked at the humans in horror and greed, and the strong smell of meat made them almost crazy.

But the beating red light made them feel life-threatening.

The leader, the wolf king, was all white, and his green eyes shone coldly in the dark night.

It looked at the human settlement with a complicated look.

It knows, from today.

Humans can no longer be their prey.
