Chapter 28: Exploring the Pu Tribe: Breaking Through Obstacles
Baona's eyes were fixed on the almost invisible symbol. As if she had discovered a new continent, she pointed at it excitedly and said, "Wait! This symbol... I seem to have seen it somewhere!" Everyone was a little confused by her startled actions and turned back to look at the scroll.
Wumeng Tianlong held his forehead and thought that this girl was confused again. The symbols on this scroll are so strange. If she points to any one and says she has seen it somewhere, wouldn’t that make her Conan?
Elder Feng was even more impatient and urged: "Little girl, it's already late, don't make trouble! The oracle fragments are important!" His expression seemed to say: Don't come near me, hurry up!
Priest Zheng was relatively calm. He carefully looked at the symbol that Baona pointed at, then looked at Chu Gong and asked, "Have you seen this symbol?" Chu Gong shook his head, indicating that he had no impression of it.
Priest Zheng turned to Baona and asked gently, "Young lady, where have you seen this symbol?"
Baona scratched her head, trying hard to recall, muttering, "I... I seem to be... I seem to be... Oh, I can't remember!" Everyone's faces suddenly became dark, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
"Well, it was all in vain." Zhaoyang Ruyue shook her head helplessly, feeling that all her efforts were in vain.
Just as everyone was about to set off again, Engineer Chu suddenly exclaimed, "Huh?" and pointed to an unassuming wooden box in the corner of the warehouse. "That... seems to be... my toolbox..."
Toolbox?
What's so strange about this?
Everyone looked puzzled.
But Mr. Chu walked straight over and carefully opened the wooden box.
In addition to the common tools, there is also a hidden compartment!
Chu Gong took out an exquisite bone carving from the secret compartment, which was engraved with some special symbols.
The moment he saw the bone carving, Chu Gong was stunned, his eyes filled with shock and... fear?
"This...this is..." Craftsman Chu handed the bone carving to Priest Zheng with trembling hands, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "Priest...you...you take a look at this..."
Priest Zheng took the bone carving. It was cold to the touch, but the carving was exquisite. The symbols engraved on it were exactly the same as the symbols Baona pointed out in the scroll!
Priest Zheng frowned. The symbols on the bone carving seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
He turned the bone carving over and over, muttering to himself, "What...what on earth is this?"
The atmosphere froze instantly, and a mysterious atmosphere filled the air.
Baona felt her heart beating faster. This reversal was amazing!
Is it true that some shocking secret is going to be discovered this time?
At this moment, Priest Zheng suddenly exclaimed, "I remember! This... this is the long-lost 'Oracle Bone Carving'! Legend has it that only the oldest priest of the Pu tribe can possess it!" He looked at Worker Chu excitedly, "Where did you get this bone carving?"
Chu Gong was so frightened that his face turned pale. He stammered, "I...I...I don't know...This is a legacy from my ancestors...I always thought...I thought it was just an ordinary bone carving..."
Priest Zheng carefully compared the bone carving with the symbols on the scroll and found that the two were exactly the same!
He took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly, "This bone carving... may very well be the key to unlocking the mystery of the Pu tribe's origins!"
Everyone was instantly excited!
Wumeng Tianlong clenched his fists excitedly: "I knew that following Baona would be the right choice. This luck is simply amazing!" Zhaoyang Ruyue also showed a gratified smile. It seems that this archaeological trip is destined to be extraordinary.
Dancer Wei walked in at this time, holding a plate of barbecued meat that exuded an alluring aroma. He said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone! Come and try some of the barbecue I made!"
Everyone sat together, sharing delicious food and laughing happily.
Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the harmonious scene in front of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She felt the warmth and simplicity of this tribe.
Bao Na ate with her mouth full of oil, and did not forget to praise Wei Wuzhe's cooking skills: "Sister, with your cooking skills, it would be a shame if you didn't go to New Oriental to further your studies!"
Just when everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, Elder Feng walked over with a gloomy face... He stared at the harmonious scene of everyone, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes.
"You guys..." he spoke slowly.
Elder Feng had a gloomy face, like a dark cloud about to rain, staring at the harmonious scene of everyone, and the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was about to perform a "fragrant show" in the next second.
He coughed dryly and said sourly, "You guys are quite leisurely. If you didn't know, you would think you were on vacation!"
Bao Na chewed the barbecue and mumbled a retort, "Food is the most important thing for the people. Elder Feng, would you like a piece? Miss Wei Dancer's cooking skills are absolutely amazing!"
Elder Feng snorted coldly, glancing at the bone sculpture that Priest Zheng held so preciously in his hands. "Hmph, you're treating our ancestors' things like toys. I don't think you understand the situation!"
Priest Zheng's face darkened. "Elder Feng, be careful with your words! This is the key to unlocking the mystery of the Pu tribe's origins!"
"Origin? I think it's a crooked path!" Elder Feng countered without hesitation, "These outsiders are full of nonsense. Sooner or later, they will lead the young people of the tribe astray!" He pointed at Zhaoyang Ruyue and the others with a look of deep sorrow. "Look at you, what have you learned from them? You're not doing your job all day long!"
Chen Yong then stood up and said loudly, "Elder Feng, we've learned a lot from Sister Zhaoyang and the others, like how to better grow herbs and how to hunt more efficiently. These are all things that will benefit the tribe!" He paused, his tone firm, "We're not slacking off!"
Several other young members of the tribe also echoed this, saying that they had benefited greatly from learning from Zhaoyang Ruyue and others.
Elder Feng looked at these young faces, his eyes flickering, and he seemed a little shaken.
He has always upheld the traditions of the tribe, believing that outsiders would destroy the peace of the tribe, but now...
at this time……
At this moment, a loud "boom" came from deep within the warehouse, as if a sleeping giant beast turned over, shaking the ground slightly.
The originally tense atmosphere froze in an instant, and everyone's eyes were cast towards the depths of the warehouse. An eerie silence filled the air.
Elder Feng's face suddenly changed. His already gloomy expression became even uglier at this moment. His lips trembled as if he had swallowed a fly: "This...what's going on?" He secretly glanced at Priest Zheng, his eyes full of anxiety.
Priest Zheng frowned, clutching the bone carving tightly in his hand. He stared sharply into the depths of the warehouse and said in a deep voice, "It seems we have touched upon some taboo..."
Chen Yong clenched the spear in his hand, eager to try: "Priest, let me go and take a look!" He rubbed his hands together, as if to say "let me see it".
Mr. Chu silently put away the tools in his hands and stood aside without saying a word, but his tense body showed his inner tension.
Dancer Wei clutched Baona's sleeve tightly, her face pale as she whispered, "Sister Baona, I... I'm a little scared..."
Baona patted Wei Wuzhe's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Although she said this, she was actually very nervous in her heart. After all, the sudden strange noise was really creepy.
She turned to look at Zhaoyang Ruyue and Wumeng Tianlong, but found that they both had serious expressions, as if they were thinking about something.
Wumeng Tianlong suddenly spoke in a low voice: "This sound... seems to come from the deepest part of the warehouse..."
Zhaoyang Ruyue nodded and added, "There... seems to be the tribe's oldest... artifact..."
Before she finished her words, another loud noise came from deep inside the warehouse. "Boom—" This time, the sound was clearer and more... eerie...
Priest Zheng's expression changed. He suddenly raised the bone carving in his hand and shouted, "Not good! Retreat!"
He just finished saying the word "retreat"...
