Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 270

Chapter 270

It’s raining. It’s really raining.

Compared with the time predicted by Shao Xuan, it was only a few seconds apart.

Coincidence? Or is it really the same as the result predicted by the knot?

After using the rain to rinse off the bird p.o.o.p, Shao Xuan walked back into the hole. He took out the straw rope in the animal skin bag and cut it again. Looking at the rain outside he thought to himself, why not try it once more?

Since it’s already raining, why not predict when the rain would stop.

Shao Xuan thought of his state when he made the knot; he was thinking about what he was thinking when he was tying the knot. Then picking up the rope again, closing his eyes and letting go of other distracting thoughts, he thought about the time when the rain stopped.

Finally, the knots appeared in Shao Xuan’s mind. It was inconsistent with the previous one. Shao Xuan carefully observed the movements of the hands in his mind. In his own hands, there appeared a knot that was similar to the one he had in his mind.

When Shao Xuan finished the knot, the feeling of fainting came back. There was a moment of darkness in his eyes, and his brain was hurting for a while. Shao Xuan looked at the new knot in his hand; Shao Xuan interpreted what the knot meant.

The rain will stop before noon.

Even without the sun, Shao Xuan could estimate the approximate time when the rain would stop. As a hunter, he could guess what time it would stop raining.

Noon, not too long from now. I merely have to wait and see.

Shao Xuan put the knot next to him, munched on a piece of chilly barbecue, and rested against the wall. He needed to restore his strength as soon as possible. When it was almost noon, it was drizzling outside. But it didn’t stop raining.

After going back into the cave, Shao Xuan looked outside; the thick clouds of the sky were dissipating. The sun was shining through the gaps between the clouds. The rain gradually decreased until it stopped completely. The sky and the dark clouds scattered. The sun was out.

The first time is a coincidence. But is the same thing happening two times a coincidence?

Shao Xuan believed that the leaf recorded different knots. So is it technically a weather book? Even when he was traveling, he had never heeded a weather book. He didn’t expect he would get such a thing.

He didn’t know which one of the members of this tribe left this behind. There was no trace on the totem. After the rain, Chacha flew out and grabbed a not-too-big beast and came back and ate it with Shao Xuan. After eating, Chacha rested next to him in the cave.

His physical strength had almost recovered. Looking at the remaining straw ropes in the animal skin bag, he contemplated about it and decided to cut it again with a stone knife. Not in a hurry to leave, Shao Xuan intended to try tying a knot once more. He planned to study more.

He wanted to predict where the stone he needed to find is, but it wasn’t so smooth the third time.

He tied the knot

Tried again!

Failure.

Tried again!

It failed again.

……

The straw ropes in the animal skin bags have almost been used, and Shao Xuan put down a mess in his hand. Rested beside the wall.

How can I fail?

Was it just a coincidence the first two times?

Chacha was next to him, watching Shao Xuan create one gra.s.s knot after another and then hit his head against the wall. It didn’t completely understand Shao Xuan’s thoughts. It just thought human beings were really fascinating animals.

When his physical strength was restored again, he picked up a straw rope and tried again.

When the knot was finished, he looked at the knot. It was successful. Shao Xuan felt a sigh of relief. Was it just because it was excessively confusing? The place he needed to go next was a place where he can find the stone.

However, when Shao Xuan interpreted the meaning of the knot and compared it with the direction given by ChaCha. He found the directions pointed in two different directions

To have a better understanding, Shao Xuan made a slight adjustment and tried again with a straw rope. The result was the same as before. Shao Xuan looked at the direction predicted by the knot, thought about what was more important. After a little thought, Shao Xuan made a decision.

“Hey, let’s not go to the stone first, let’s go there instead.”

Shao Xuan pointed to the opposite direction while talking to Chacha. The direction pointed by Shao Xuan was a place he has never visited, but it didn’t matter. It was quite thrilling to go to a strange forest area.

Because of the consumption of physical strength and time, Shao Xuan decided to start traveling tomorrow.

Shao Xuan and Chacha, who regained their spirits the next morning, left the cave together and marched in the direction indicated by the knot. There was a river running through the forest. The river was a little green, and some animal activities were occasionally seen around.

Shao Xuan didn’t walk by the river; it was too risky. He was at least 20 to 30 meters away from the river. By the river, there were some things there, and Shao Xuan wanted to take a look. However, as he walked over, there was a whistling sound that cut through the air. Shao Xuan had been aware of his surroundings. After perceiving the movement, he shifted his body and dodge to the side.

Snap!

A water arrow came charging at that place where Shao Xuan was standing.

Water arrow?

Shao Xuan’s eyelid rose.

Where did the water arrow come from? Was it from a fish by the river?

It didn’t wait for Shao Xuan to think. A second shot was shot again from the river. Although it was water, it possessed fierce power, and the speed was extremely fast. The second water arrow missed Shao Xuan.

The third and fourth water arrows were shot. From the river, there was an object that was holding something.

Shao Xuan didn’t have time to investigate. After he had avoided the water arrow, he left the river bank. ‘The deeper you go into the forest, the more dangers there are. Even a small fish is a threat.”
