Chapter 2, Bone Text.

Grandfather Patriarch, those bird and turtle characters are as complex as ghostly symbols, making them truly difficult to learn. What is the purpose of memorizing them with such effort?

Regardless of how one puts it, this is a bountiful harvest, and the clanspeople are filled with joy. The village of Stone is filled with the laughter of children, creating an atmosphere of happiness.

This hunting expedition was highly successful, with dozens of adult men achieving notable gains. Among the prey were the massive dragon-horned elephant, the one-legged creature resembling a cow, and the flying python, which was as thick as a water bucket and possessed two wings

"Use the bone script that I taught you," said Shi Yunfeng

In recent years, he has been studying the mysterious bone inscriptions, occasionally conducting experiments on the physically strong individuals in the village. These children are well aware that their robust fathers, strong as tigers and dragons, would emit chilling howls each time they were summoned to that stone courtyard, instilling in these children an early sense of aversion and reverence.

Grandfather Patriarch, please tell us about the outside world." A group of children displayed expressions of hope.

Alright. The little one is very obedient, extending both small hands, closing the mouth, and exerting strength all over the body, with a face that has turned red from holding it in.

With a buzzing sound, a bright spot appeared in the palm of his hand, revealing a strange character that seemed to be cast in metal, possessing a metallic luster and texture. Soon, the other hand also manifested.

In the mountains, there are some large footprints that resemble human feet, but they are truly enormous, measuring nearly one hundred meters in length

The patriarch, Shi Yunfeng, led the group towards the willow trees, carrying dozens of beast corpses as they approached. Afterward, they placed all the bloodied ferocious beasts on the stone platform, which was clearly a large sacrificial altar

Dozens of people appeared on the horizon, their long shadows stretched out on the ground by the setting sun, while the outlines of their bodies were adorned with golden edges by the evening glow, appearing immensely tall and robust. Almost every person was dragging a massive beast, returning fully loaded.

Everyone in Shicun knows that the old clan leader, in his youth, ventured to the distant ends of the earth with more than a dozen powerful clansmen from the village, exploring the outside world

The old man smiled and said, "If you want to know, then make yourself strong first"

"Grandpa Patriarch, is this the mysterious power of the bone inscriptions you have been researching for over a decade?" A group of children looked on with shining eyes, a stark contrast to their earlier disinterest.

Thus, the strongest group of people in the village set out, carrying giant bows and wielding broad swords, entering the vast mountains and rivers, whereupon a wave of wilderness aura rushed towards them

Indeed, it is not as useful as the archery skills taught to me by my father

How could it be so large? The villagers exclaimed, this is indeed a shocking piece of news

"Yiya, yes, I have exhausted all my strength." The little one dropped the青石 and sat down on the ground, laughing heartily, with a pure innocence, while the runes in the palm of their hand quickly faded and disappeared

As the hunting team departed, the old chief, Shi Yunfeng, led a group of children to the grassy area at the village entrance, sat down cross-legged, and said: "Alright, you little monkeys from the *Tu* *Shu* group should start studying diligently now."

A group of children, filled with reverence, also harbored a longing, feeling curious about the unknown world. Someone asked: "Are there treasures and elixirs in the mountains and rivers that can transform a person overnight? How great is the power of the most formidable prodigies among humanity?"

If we master the mysterious power of the bone script, can we venture into all realms of the world? Some children displayed a look of longing.

The red sun sets in the west, and in the afterglow of the sunset, the entire stone village is bathed in a layer of soft golden light. In the distance, the cries of monkeys and the roars of tigers can be heard, yet here, the vast stone houses appear as sacred and serene as ancient temples.

Oh my, there are so many prey, it is truly a rare and bountiful harvest

Upon hearing this, the elders in the village could not help but gasp in shock, increasingly convinced that something unusual was occurring deep within the mountains, which had attracted some ancient species from the vicinity of the Great Wilderness

Father and the others have returned safely

"Little One, come here," the clan leader shouted from a distance

A group of children all have bitter melon faces, showing strong resistance

"Incredible!" a group of children exclaimed. How could such a little one, barely over a year old, lift such a sizable stone?

Shi Yunfeng patted a child's head and said, "Not to mention other regions, even in our own region, if there were an extraordinary person capable of traversing half the territory, that would be remarkable"

They have returned! A group of women and children, who had long been waiting at the village entrance, erupted in cheers, and the unease and fear in their hearts vanished in an instant as they began to shout loudly in unison.

But the little one was only as small as a bean, and yet he actually accomplished it

The mountains are perilous; leaving the village protected by the willow trees will lead to a completely different world outside, one filled with terrifying raptors and colossal beasts

A group of children gathered around the old chief, finally settling down and beginning to listen attentively to his teachings, dispersing only at noon

It was only in recent years that the research of the old patriarch eased, which no longer instilled fear in the villagers. Moreover, the little one who grew up on the milk of a hundred beasts and the food of a hundred families was adopted by him and became the best candidate for research

The little one blinked innocently with big eyes, and then went on to tug at the tail of the big yellow dog, which barked back even more innocently.

Do not be overly excited; these can only guide you along the way, and are far inferior to the celestial bone inscriptions mentioned in ancient legends. The old man nodded, then shook his head.

"This time we are truly fortunate; we return fully loaded, and not a single person was injured," laughed the leader of the hunting party, Shilin Hu, as he explained to the clan leader and the villagers. In recent nights, a super giant beast had passed through the mountains, causing tremors that crushed and injured many mountain creatures. During the day, they tracked it down and killed several severely injured ferocious beasts, which are usually formidable creatures that the villagers must avoid.

Among the prey, there are several more formidable creatures, such as the completely crimson two-headed fire rhinoceros and the impure-blooded Pixiu...! ... These are indeed notorious ferocious beasts. Upon discovering them, one should keep a safe distance. However, www.hetushu.com has now been hunted down, which is severely inconsistent with reason

Ah, the outside world... The old man revealed a look of reminiscence, lost in thought and melancholy before he spoke: "The world is vast, boundless and immeasurable, stretching millions of miles from one domain to another. No one truly knows how expansive it is. A person could walk their entire life and still not leave a single domain; the wilderness is endless and desolate. Communication and interaction among human tribes in different regions are exceedingly difficult due to the inherent dangers. The land is filled with numerous formidable species, terrifying and mysterious. Even a tribe of hundreds of thousands or a grand city can be destroyed overnight by a few ancient remnants. Of course, there are also humans of unimaginable strength, comparable to the peak combat power of other species, unmatched in divine might, worthy of being called the pride of humanity."

The little one took two steps forward and lifted a piece of blue stone that was even taller than him

It is too difficult; the clan leader actually said that it may take years for a few individuals to incorporate a small amount of bone culture into their bodies, while most people may never succeed.

The elders in the village displayed astonishment; these creatures are usually quite difficult to deal with, some of which can be considered ferocious beasts. Yet today, so many have been hunted down, leaving behind a trail of blood, which is truly unexpected

Grandfather Patriarch, please demonstrate the power of the bone script for us

For instance, the dragon-horned elephant has a body as solid as iron, impervious even to iron spears. Its pair of dragon horns is as sharp as a diamond knife, capable of easily shattering boulders. As for the Kui beast, its sound is like thunder; if one is close by, it can kill a person outright. As for the winged creature with ribs and the flying python depicted in the illustrations, they are the assassins of the mountains and forests, capable of suddenly swooping down from a mountain peak, extremely terrifying

A group of children suddenly wore frowns, each looking dispirited and reluctantly gathered around, resembling wilted leaves under the sun

Under the prayers of the patriarch and several elders, all the young adults displayed a solemn expression and engaged in worship. Many women and children also hurried over, silently praying for the safe return of their loved ones who had gone hunting

Little Dot, after finishing the chase of the five-colored sparrow, was vigorously tugging at the tail of a large yellow dog. Upon hearing the words, he turned around in confusion, let go of the tail, and ran over with a bounce, blinking his bright eyes, and said: "Eeya eeya, what is it, Grandpa Chief?"

I can only guide you onto the path; where you go from here depends on yourselves. What I teach you should not be inferior to what children of your age learn from the outside world. The old man said at last, a strange light appearing in his eyes as he touched a peculiar piece of jade bone in his bosom

However, more than a decade ago, only two individuals returned covered in blood, and one of them died shortly thereafter, leaving only Shi Yunfeng alive.

You children truly lack understanding. The Bone Script is a powerful ancient relic, with symbols naturally manifested on the bones, containing unfathomable power. Countless individuals wish to learn it but find no way. Once one achieves mastery, they will be incomparably stronger than your forebears. The old clan leader, frustrated, admonished them.

All the children are in a daze

"Little one, have you used up all your strength to drink milk?" The older child teased him
