Traveling through ancient times, I worked hard to develop a side business

"Yanyan, did you find anything?"

"Everyone has these beads in their bodies to a greater or lesser extent. I suspect this thing can be inherited!" Huanyan felt a little overwhelmed. She couldn't figure this thing out, and it felt like a time bomb was placed on her head.

"Genetics? What's that?"

"To put it simply, as long as the adult has it in his body, it will definitely be passed on to the child!"

"What's the harm in taking it?" Dayi asked anxiously.

"Dad, can you tell me about the people who were killed by snow beasts in previous years?" Huanyan asked after thinking for a while.

"If you get bitten or scratched by a snow beast, more than the number on one hand, that's five. I'm used to it!" Dayi smiled and continued, "As long as there are five wounds, even if you dig out the scratched flesh, you will definitely die!"

"What kind of expression did they have before they died?"

"Let me think about it!" Dayi pondered, "I remember that after death, the body will become shriveled, as if the nutrients in the body disappeared all of a sudden!"

Huanyan felt like she seemed to have grasped something, but the inspiration was gone in a flash and Huanyan couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried.

Huanyan thought carefully about what happened when she went to expel the silver-white energy from her tribe members. Suddenly, Huanyan realized one thing: there were no old people in their tribe.

"Dad, it seems that there are no old people in our tribe!" Huanyan said with some trembling.

"This is normal. People in this continent can generally live to 40 or 50 years old. No one is too old!" Dayi said it lightly, but it made Huanyan's heart vibrate.

"Father, when they reached the age of 40 or 50, were they all killed by ferocious beasts or died of natural causes?"

"The majority were killed by the murderer. Those who survived to the age of 40 or 50 were the stronger ones in the tribe. However, by that time, their bodies would inevitably suffer from various discomforts, so they would die!"

"So what are these people who died of natural causes like after they die?"

"It's strange, my body shrank all of a sudden..." Dayi was suddenly stunned, and at this moment he also discovered the problem.

"Yanyan, you mean it's related to being injured by a snow beast!" Dayi asked in a trembling voice.

"I think it is related, but I can't figure out what the connection is. I'll go take a look at the snow beast's corpse!" Huanyan rubbed his head. What was going on?

Why is it so difficult to live a simple life?

"Yanyan, look at this one, but I don't find any problem with it!" Yin Yue's face was also very serious. After studying with Huanhuan for some time, he is no longer as naive as he was at the beginning.

Huanyan looked at the cut-off fur, bones, flesh, head, nails, etc. of the snow beast.

Everything was normal and there seemed to be no problem, but everyone here knew that there was a problem.

Huanyan suddenly released the fire elf. As the saying goes, water and fire are incompatible. Let’s try to see if we can find any problems!

Huanyan first burned the snow beast's fur with fire, but did not find anything abnormal. Huanyan also checked with the power of wood and chaos, but did not find the silver-white energy.

They then used fire to burn the nails, teeth, skull, bones, flesh, etc. in turn, but found nothing. It was very normal, just like the normal death of a strange beast.

"Yanyan, try that bead!"

"Yes! Yinyue, help me make a few small bowls to put these beads in!"

"Okay!" After a while, three small bowls were ready!

Huanyan put the beads from her body, Yinyue's body and Dayi's body into the stone bowl respectively, and then started to calcine them.

Huanyan first burned the one that was forced out of her body. The bead did not have any other reaction, but it made a crackling sound under the calcination of the fire spirit. A small ball of black gas floated out and then disappeared, and what remained was an extremely pure energy.

Huanyan stretched out her hand and felt it. The energy was icy cold, like ice energy. Huanyan was very sure that the calcined energy could be directly absorbed by the human body.

However, not everyone can absorb this energy. Only people with specific attributes can do so.

Huanyan began to burn Yin Yue's bead again. This bead was slightly bigger and rounder than Huanyan's. It was quite beautiful. But after burning it for a while, Huanyan heard a shrill scream, followed by a burst of black smoke, and the bead turned into pure energy.

Huanyan’s hands trembled. This thing couldn’t be alive!

"Yanyan, what's wrong?"

"Did you hear anything just now?"

"No, did you hear it wrong?" Yin Yue, Dayi and others shook their heads.

"No, then did you see the black air?"

"Yanyan, are you blind?"

"I'm not seeing things. When I was burning my and Yin Yue's beads just now, I saw a black gas floating out. The difference is that when I was burning Yin Yue's bead, I heard a scream!" Huanyan said seriously.

Looking at Huanyan's serious expression, they knew that Huanyan was not joking, but they really didn't see anything!

"Hey, let me take another look at father's!" Huanyan started to burn the one in Dayi's body again, and heard a scream.

The voice sounded very shrill, making people feel cold on the back, but looking at the confused expressions of Father, Mother, Brother, and Yinyue, Huanyan knew that they heard nothing.

Huanyan wailed in her heart, why was she the only one who could hear such a creepy sound? It was too unfair, shouldn’t everyone be able to hear it!

Of course, Huanyan’s expression wasn’t much better, but she still said, “I still heard screams and saw the black air!”

Now, everyone's faces looked unhappy. It was just a normal way to deal with the snow beast in the cold season, but they didn't expect Huanyan to discover this silver-white thing.

"Father, is it just our tribe that is like this, or are other tribes like this too?"

"I don't know about that either, and outsiders are not allowed to inquire about the internal affairs of the tribe!" Dayi shook his head and said.

"When will the snow beast attack next time?"

"At least ten days, at most half a month!" Dayi said after thinking for a moment.

"Dad, I suspect that this silver-white energy is a mark, a mark of the place where humans are. Otherwise, why can these snow beasts find us so accurately!" Huanyan expressed her guess.

"But why does it mark?" Dayi also discovered something different. Snow beasts rarely kill people. Most of the time, they just get bitten or scratched.

“Could it be the human lifespan? According to my guess, the people here all practice cultivation. Unless there are force majeure factors, they should not live only forty or fifty years old!” In later generations, smog pollution is everywhere, and the lifespan is not so short, except for those caused by force majeure.

"But how did they do it?" Dayi murmured, and he began to carefully recall his life over the past thirty years.

"I can't think of it. If I knew the situation of other tribes, I might be able to analyze it, but since we are the only one in this tribe, I can't confirm it!" Huanyan felt like she was holding her breath but couldn't let it out.
