primitive survival evolution

Chapter 65 Murals
"Mum!"

"There used to be giant beasts in our tribe, right? How do those giant beasts survive the winter?"

After Li Yan learned that there was winter in this world, he hurried back to the tribe to prepare for the winter. Mu is the most experienced person in the tribe, so Li Yan would come to her every time he encountered difficulties.

Tom was twisting the rope, and there were several women squatting on the ground with stone blades to split the deerskin. He would come to this thatched cottage to mend animal skins. If Wen Shi hadn't talked about winter, Li Yan really didn't notice that the tribesmen had already started making preparations for winter.

Mu didn't stop working in his hands. He raised his head and saw Li Yan's anxious expression, so he smiled kindly and said, "Go and find. You, uncle. He is a black witch and he will tell you."

"Uncle? Well, okay." Li Yan hesitated for a while, then stood up.

Uncle, sister, and these titles are taught by Li Yan to the tribe members intentionally or unintentionally. He always feels that it is disrespectful to call the elders by their first names. He did not expect that Mu has already been influenced by him, or that the whole tribe is slowly being dominated by him. Change.

After bidding farewell to Mu, Li Yan went to find the black witch.

Where is the dark witch?

He must be in the iron smelting field outside the tribe. Since the success of iron smelting, the black witch has been addicted to it and cannot extricate himself.

Now a wooden fence is built around the ironworks, inside which are various ironmaking tools and iron ore.

Now the ironmaking technology of the tribe has improved a little bit. The tribe is no longer satisfied with the crude pig iron tools, and began to change to the steel with higher requirements, but the steel is very difficult to smelt. Now they are trying to forge iron blocks to make some iron with less impurities. iron tools.

Ding Ding!

Ding Ding Ding!
Before they approached, there was the sound of tinkling iron from the ironworks under the big tree.

Sure enough, the black witch was here, so Li Yan went in and told him about the wintering of the beasts.

"Winter?" Hearing that, the black witch put down the iron tools in his hand and asked others to help.

He dragged Li Yan out of the ironworks.

"Patriarch, you don't have to worry about this. There is a cave in our valley, which is very big. The beasts of our tribe used to spend the winter in it. Just clean it up."

"Where is the hole?"

"I'll take you."

The black witch led Li Yan and ten men and women down the mountain, and walked westward along the river. To the west was a vertical cliff with a height of [-] meters, and a waterfall flew straight down.

When they approached the waterfall, they left the shore, entered a forest, and headed northwest.

This forest is a shrub. There are light yellow fruits hanging from the shrub trees, and a large bunch of fruits hang down. People have to bend down to walk under the trees, and they are often hit on the head by the fruits.

"Bah! It's so bitter!" Li Yan spat out half of the fruit, and just now the fruit fell directly to his mouth, so he opened his mouth and bit one, but the taste was not good, this piece of fruit forest is a resource of the tribe.

These fruits will not mature until the grain is harvested. Although the resources in the valley belong to the tribe, some wild animals will always come in to snatch the resources, especially every few months before winter, the competition between humans and animals will be the most intense time.

The trees in the valley began to turn yellow, and many plants began to bear fruit.

Walking out of the woods, I saw a huge hole at the bottom of the cliff, more than 20 meters high and [-] meters wide. There were many wild flowers growing in front of the hole, on the left and right sides, and many normal-sized bees were working there. Like human beings, they can't compete with the giants outside, so they can only choose to live in the valley.

The black witch piled some hay at the entrance of the cave, sprinkled a lot of yellow powder on the hay, and then ignited it, and suddenly a lot of pungent yellow smoke rose from the fire
"There are many poisonous insects inside, we step over the smoke."

After the black witch finished speaking, he stepped over the smoke, and after that, he lit a torch and entered the cave to "clear the way".

The rest followed his example.

It was dark in the cave, and some tribesmen lit torches for light.

On Li Yan's back lay a Shining Tail Beast, with a "lamp" on its tail, brighter than a torch.

The Shining Tail Beast is like a large gecko, which can attach itself to people. Its tail light can drive some animals away, and at the same time attract some animals.

But now, its tail light is able to disperse the animals inside.

The cave was dark and large, and the air was filled with the smell of rancid excrement.

Everyone walked along the cave wall.

Li Yan supported the cave wall, and after walking not far, he realized something was wrong.

At the entrance of the cave, there are some uneven stones that look old, but after a short walk, the walls inside the cave become extremely smooth, as smooth as a cement tunnel, and the surface is brown flat soil.

The more Li Yan thought about it, the more something went wrong. How could the natural cave be so smooth?
So he took out his stone pick and knocked against the wall.

Pieces of soil fell, and the layer of soil was as thick as three centimeters. After a few times of prying with a stone knife, large pieces fell off.

Behind the soil is a smooth and flat stone wall. With the people of the Stone Age, how could it be possible to create such a smooth stone wall?
Li Yan was very puzzled. He knocked out a large area with a stone pick, leaned over and looked carefully, and found that there seemed to be some regular dents on the stone wall. These dents were very similar to murals. form recorded.

So, he scraped again with a stone knife to wipe off the dust on the stone wall, and there were indeed some patterns engraved on the stone wall.

There is a dark cloud in the sky, and it is raining. A group of people are walking on the grassland, carrying large and small bags.

Behind them, there are several huge biped dinosaurs with big mouths chasing them. Behind this group, some warriors on horseback are fighting against the dinosaurs. Some of them shoot arrows, some throw spears, and some hold a double The tubular object is aimed at the chasing dinosaur. In the lower right corner of the mural, there is also a small dragon engraved with the body of a snake with staghorn horns, a typical Chinese dragon.

gun!
That's the action of holding a gun!
Li Yan saw the gunman at a glance, why do they have guns?

Li Yan was confused. He took a few steps back and carefully observed the cave wall in front of him. The soil on the cave wall is very old, estimated to be thousands of years old. Could it be that people had guns thousands of years ago?
Li Yan looked at the long cave wall and felt that there should be an answer inside.

So, he used a stone pick to pry open the soil on the right side of the mural until five meters away, and another mural appeared.

The people in this mural no longer use guns, but use spears, bows and arrows, and their horses have been replaced by triceratops. They are hunting a carnivorous biped dinosaur, but there is still a dark cloud in the sky, raining Rain, there is also that little dragon in the lower right corner.

Li Yan was confused, and then he pried the dirt next to him. Sure enough, there was another mural.

The third painting also has dark clouds, but the rain is a little lighter. However, the protagonist is replaced by a bunch of hairy people. This group of hairy people is eating half a small dinosaur under the tree, and it is raw food. Behind the tree There is a cave, in which there are a few ordinary people wearing animal skins. Those people are lighting a fire and roasting the other half of a small dinosaur. Similarly, there is a small dragon in the lower right corner of this mural.

Li Yan continued to pry, but this time he found a mural in the innermost part of the cave wall.

The fourth mural was finally free of dark clouds and rain. It was a group of people wearing animal skins driving all kinds of dinosaurs. They lived a life of hunting and gathering. However, what surprised Li Yan was that the people on the mural had some They are half-orcs, with human head and snake body, cow head and human body, leopard tail and tiger teeth, human head and bird body, every half-beast warrior seems to have the strength to resist giant beasts, especially a man with a human head and a snake body, he can make countless Ten giant beasts obeyed at his feet.

All murals have a small dragon in the lower right corner, while the first three murals have dark clouds and rain.

dragon.
The people who left these murals should be related to dragons. According to the degree of erosion of the rocks at the entrance of the cave wall, the murals on the cave wall are probably made by people thousands of years ago.

"Hei Wu, how did you find out about this cave?" Li Yan asked others.

"Our Taka tribe is originally a branch of the Wenjia tribe. Our ancestors moved to this valley a long time ago, and then discovered this cave."
