Early next morning, the moon was still struggling with the rising sun, but was gradually pushed down the western horizon.
At this junction, with the black and white straits in mid-air, countless black and white particles were rolling over each other, constantly emitting faint flashes of energy.
On the hillside not far from the Birch tribe, next to two huts, was a stone house that was completely incompatible with its style, which was very unusual.
Outside of these huts stood Shesara and Hespera. The two young girls, wearing exactly the same dress, looked beautifully the same.
The only difference was that the eyes of one of the girls looking at the stone hut, was full of reluctance and nostalgic memories.
It was almost an hour, and Hespera's eyes didn't want to leave the hut for a moment. It was as if she wanted to catch everything in front of her eyes and imprint them in her mind. She knew that in a few days, she would be leaving her tribe with Guyon.
This was one of the rules of the tribe. Once the relationship between the two has be agreed and confirmed, the girl did not have to wait for the wedding ceremony.
From that day onward, the girl had to spend the rest of her time with her man.
Outside the hut, countless ether orbs flickered with faint fluorescence and slowly condensed towards the hut in a whirlpool, reflecting each other's rays of light.
Since assuming the responsibility of protecting Oscar, Wynter had rarely forge any iron. This furnace was only deliberately placed to hide the appearance of the ether orbs.
When the last trace of darkness in the sky disappeared, the surrounding orbs immediately disappeared.
The twin sisters habitually picked up the necessary items and walked into the hut. After giving Oscar his breakfast, Shesara said. "Oscar, uncle Wynter must have gathered the people by now, let's get going."
Oscar nodded, and after the three of them asked their parents for permission, they quickly walked to the tribe square. Already, nearly two hundred people had gathered in the square, neatly lined up in several long rows.
Wynter and Guyon were chatting in front of the line.
Upon seeing this, Oscar ran towards Guyon, and shouted apologetically as he ran. "Master Guyon, sorry for keeping you waiting."
"That's Okay." Guyon immediately replied politely. "I just arrived too." Afterwards, he smiled at the second girl behind Oscar and nodded, but received a snort from her as she raised her head proudly.
Wynter stepped forward and said, "Oscar, the hunting group are all assembled. There are a hundred fifty people in total, and each one is equipped with an etherbow."
Oscar looked at the assembled tribesmen, all of them were strong young men, holding bows and arrows, and some carrying longswords on their backs. They were quite a sight.
According to previous hunting experience, the Birch people found that if the etherbows were used directly, although the damage was amazing, the fur of the prey would be full of arrow holes, which would make it difficult to sell at a good price.
Therefore, normal bows and arrows are the main long-range attack. etherbows were only used when dealing with powerful beasts.
When Oscar saw it, he said with satisfaction. "Okay. Uncle Wynter, let's divide the hunters into seven groups, each with twenty people. The remaining ten people will follow me and master Guyon to guard the hunt."
Wynter nodded, and soon, the clansmen were divided into eighth groups. Oscar's group included the twin sisters, Wynter, and Guyon's group, plus ten clansmen.
It was the largest number they had ever gathered. It reached more than thirty people. Nearly two hundred hunters entered the large dark forest from different directions.
There was a distance of ten to twenty meters between each group, and Oscar's group was in the middle, which was convenient for commanding the actions of the hunters.
Standing on a high slope, Kai felt very relieved to see his son lead people into the dark forest neatly. Oscar had become more and more of a future leader. When he reached adulthood, he could let go of his burden and enjoy life with his wife, Kiara.
"Chieftain..." Nobody knew when the Shamanic woman appeared behind Kai in a mysterious way, and uttered. The woman immediately continued, "... I recently divine the signs and found a bad omen, extremely bad omen, my lord. I think you should make preparations for the tribe's relocation as soon as possible to avoid this disaster coming to the clan."
Kai frowned when he heard this, and said. "Sapphire, our clan is having important guests, so don't be an harbinger of gloom and disturb the peaceful and festive atmosphere around the clan at this time. I assure you, we will make plans about your warning signs when the guest leaves."
After listening, Sapphire stared at Kai with penetrating eyes and said, "Chieftain, you must heed my warnings. This disaster is coming fast and hard. Our lives depends on it. We have to guard against it."
By the gods! Every time Kai saw the Shaman's eyes, a chill would run down his spine. He remembered at the beginning, when the Birch tribe was just established.
This soothsayer appeared out of nowhere, and predicted that the Birch tribe would rise up and become a strong clan in the years to come.
That was when he decided she must stay with the clan. Although at that time, he saw that the spiritual woman was haggard and looked strange, he felt pity for her, and provided her with a place to stay.
However, Kiara wasn't fond of the Shaman very much at first sight, but since Kai had promised to take her in with the tribe, she obliged. But she tried to avoid meeting the Shaman whenever it was possible.
Turning around, Kai avoided the eyes of the Shaman and said. "Okay, Sapphire. I will arrange the relocation. The food here is becoming scarce anyway, so it's time to migrate. But please, don't say things like this in front of people when we have guests. So, let's wait for them to leave first, then we will arrange the migration. Okay?"
"Yes, Chieftain."
"You can go now."
Seeing the Shaman staggering away, Kai frowned again. This old mysterious witch couldn't really be more annoying.
Thinking back to the day when Oscar was born, this old witch was not only at the place where he was born, but foretold a bad omen. She told them that the child was strange, and to put him to death to avoid the disaster in the future.
Fortunately, Kiara didn't hear it. Otherwise, with her nature, this old witch would not have survived that day.
It was always some bad omens. If it weren't for her getting older... Well, whether it was true or false, it was time to migrate.
Kai shook his head and walked towards his hut.
