Traveling through the primitive world: I was a priest in the tribe

Over the next ten days, the hunting teams took turns going out to explore, but those guys seemed to have disappeared on the spot, without any trace at all.

They had searched through several larger caves, but there were some that were very deep or relatively narrow, so Qingjiu didn't let anyone take the risk.

The falcon that had been observing the tribe from the top of the mountain would appear from time to time.

The person who should be happiest about the hunters' diligence in going out should be Sa Shi. The two little guys have reached the stage of being annoying. As long as she is at home, they will always pester her. Sometimes when she gets angry, she will slap them twice, but it won't be long before Li slaps them back, making her feel very frustrated.

Xishi is such a heartless person. Every time this happens, he never speaks up for her and even pretends not to see it.

It is obvious that she is not only mean to the two kids but also knows how to "educate them with love". Xi Shilian would not even speak loudly to them, but the two heartless little ones just like to stick to her, which is really annoying.

On this day, Sa Shi went out with the hunting team again. When he was two hills away from the tribe, he noticed something was wrong.

It hasn't snowed recently and the wind isn't strong, so any unfamiliar traces are easy to spot.

There is a deep trail of footprints at the foot of the mountain. It looks like one person walked past another. The footprints are very mixed, with some human, some wolves, some apes, and even some other animals.

She signaled for everyone to stop. These people had acted together many times before, so without too much instruction, everyone quickly began to perform their duties.

After a while they got together again.

"The traces are very new, they should have been left yesterday afternoon or evening. There are bloodstains on some of the footprints, and the smell has not dissipated yet, it stinks. It must be the herd of beasts that ambushed us. The wounds have not been treated and have worsened, so we had to choose to move." A hunter who was good at reconnaissance pointed to the traces not far away and analyzed.

Another hunter standing next to him said, "I followed the footprints and saw a cave, but I didn't bring a flashlight and the cave looked very deep, so I didn't go in."

Sa Shi raised her eyebrows. She didn’t bring a flashlight, but she could light a torch and go in to see the situation.

Fearing an ambush, several people quietly approached the cave entrance. It was pitch black inside, without even a breeze. Sa Shi broke off a fist-sized stone from the wall and threw it in with force. The stone rolled a few times inside before being blocked by something and stopped responding.

"I'll go in and take a look. You guys guard the entrance." Sa Shi lit the torch and bent down to enter the cave.

The explorer wanted to catch up, but she stopped him. "Wait for me outside. I'll shout if there's any danger. Remember to blow the whistle and ask my brother to come over."

Everyone saw her abilities, so no one tried to stop her.

After walking a few steps inside, a strong fishy smell hit me in the face. I didn't notice any draft when I first arrived at the cave entrance, but after walking in for a while, the torch in my hand was shaking in the wind. It seems that this cave has more than one or two exits.

After walking for a while, the originally narrow path became wider.

The smell became stronger and stronger, to the point where even Sa Shi couldn't stand it anymore.

She tied the scarf that was originally around her neck around her face, trying to cover up the unpleasant smell in this way.

Walking to the most spacious place, she finally knew where the smell came from. Against the wall of the cave were two incomplete, gnawed ape corpses. They must have died not long after being injured. Even in the cold season, they began to rot in such a semi-enclosed environment, emitting an unpleasant smell.
