Chapter 666
Samba and Crystal Zhu were rushing to the Matriarch’s residence.
They ran all the way and saw many trees falling and collapsing around them. The huts of the barbarians were originally not very strong. After the earthquake, the huts in front of them were seriously damaged, and some of the beams of the huts collapsed and hurt the babarians.
Fortunately, even if these huts collapsed, they wouldn’t kill anyone.

But the earthquake caused a series of panic.
There were also many barbarians kneeling in front of their collapsed huts with their families, looking very pious. They clasped their hands together and chanted words. They kept kneeling and kowtowing, their eyes filled with fear.
Crystal looked at them with a surprised and confused expression. It was the first time she had seen these huge and strong barbarians, who looked so helpless.
The barbarians seemed to have realized that a disaster was coming and that they could not compete with the natural disaster even if they were strong.
In the distance, the land on both sides of the river had been fertile. But at this time, the vegetation there was withered and even the big trees were bare. The ground was covered with withered and yellow leaves, and the once dense forest had become lifeless.
All the beasts ran away, and even the animals began to run for their lives.
Everything had changed.
Crystal and Alan were getting more and more upset on the way. When they arrived at the Matriarch’s hut, they found that half of her hut had collapsed and that the thick beam had fallen and one end had hit her back. She was already old. Her cloudy eyes looked in one direction and shouted hoarsely for help.
Alan and the others could hear the word “Raine” even if they didn’t understand the barbarians’ native language. Alan saw the figure drilling into the jungle with his sharp eyes. It was Matriarch’s precious son, Raine.
Seeing that his old mother was hurt, Raine refused to save her.
Samba was the first to run over. He was strong, and he raised the beam with both hands and threw it in the other direction in one breath
Alan and Crystal also immediately ran over and asked Matriarch if she was unwell. Matriarch first looked at Samba with complicated eyes, then shook her head
Fortunately, they came in time. Otherwise, the Matriarch would be hurt by being suppressed by such a heavy
beam.
Alan felt that the hut was unsafe and would collapse at any time, so he asked the Matriarch to leave for the time being. However, the Matriarch was very stubborn and unwilling to leave her home. The property of the hut belonged to Raine, and she had to keep it.
Samba had always been silent. But he seemed to have lost his patience and suddenly flew into a rage at his old mother, the Matriarch. However, it seemed that the person that Samba was scolding was Raine.
The Matriarch, on the other hand, was.biased towards Raine and said that Samba should take care of his brother, Raine, more in the future.
Samba roared angrily. It was unclear whether he had agreed or not. Samba ran out of the hut angrily and squatted outside the door alone.
Seeing this, Crystal sighed. It was natural for a mother to protect her child, but she couldn’t be too biased.
“Don’t worry about their families. Ask her why the animals migrated collectively and why there were several earthquakes.” Alan immediately urged.
Crystal asked the old Matriarch in the native language.
“There will be a big event.” The Matriarch replied in her hoarse voice. When she looked at Crystal, her eyes were calm and she added, “Let me ask the god.”
The Matriarch stood up trembling. Then she slowly walked into a room in the hut and took out a small shell from inside. In her right hand, she held a antique long wooden scepter. She wore a high hat with colorful animal feathers and there was a string of pearls and gemstones in her neck.
As if she was preparing for a ceremony, the Matriarch carefully tidied herself up. Although Crystal and Alan didn’t believe it, they didn’t dare to disturb her. They all watched quietly.
The Matriarch asked Crystal to help her light the fire in the room. The fire gradually lit up a golden flame. Then the Matriarch asked everyone present to kneel down and face towards the gate. Alan and the others looked at each other. They were not happy because they felt that it was a little funny, but they still did it for the sake of the overall situation.
The Matriarch knelt in front of the fire. She recited the aboriginal language and kowtowed three times piously.
Then she threw the shells on her right hand casually on the floor, and the shells were arranged into some shapes,
The Matriarch glanced at them. Her voice became trembling and raised as if she was frightened. She knocked the wooden scepter in her right hand on the floor three times and then threw out the shells again.
But what was amazing was that the shells were arranged into the same shapes, and there was no difference in their positions. It was really an eye-opener for Alan and Crystal.
The Matriarch recited more and more quickly, and her voice became shrill, she raised her head and shouted at the sky outside as if she was crying for help.
She knocked the wooden scepter on the floor three times again, trying to throw the shell again. This time, before she could ask god again, the fire in front of her suddenly shot up high, which scared the people present
The Matriarch also seemed to be frightened. She knelt in a daze for a long time, her eyes empty.
It was the Samba outside the house who came in and interrupted their divine questioning ceremony.
“What happened just now?” The modern people including Alan also felt that the scene of the flames soaring was incredible
Samba walked in silently. He was soft-hearted and filial. Although he looked fierce, he carefully helped up his old mother, the Matriarch.
Before Crystal asked, the Matriarch spoke first and requested them to send someone to take care of her son, Raine.
“Escape to the high place.”
“The demons under the ground are coming back to life. The forest will be barren. The earth will flow with fiery red liquid. Many people will die. You have to escape to the high place now.”
Crystal told Alan and the others what she had heard, and their faces were grim.
Alan pondered, “…What she meant is, just like the song we heard before, there’s going to be a natural disaster on this continent and a volcanic eruption.”
Crystal smiled bitterly, “What the Matriarch meanst is that the volcano is going to erupt.”
They couldn’t wait.
“. The Matriarch told us to escape to the high place immediately.” Crystal and Alan immediately reported the news to Chandler and the others after they went back to the palace.
“Escape to the high place? Which direction?” Such a sudden decision confused them.
One of them shouted, “Mr. Hopkins and the others drew a new map before they left.”
“Yes, we also have a map.”
Chandler quickly took the map and put it out in the middle of the table. They looked nervously at it and analyzed the terrain around them.
“… If there is an earthquake and we want to go high, this mountain should be enough.” Alan pointed to the map.
If we are unlucky enough to the mountain that is about to explode, we will die.”
“But the old Matriarch doesn’t say where we should go.”
Crystal quietly stood aside and whispered, “Why don’t we… run with the animals.”
Her words enlightened them!
Chandler, Alan, and the other men immediately turned to look at her. Yes, animals had a stronger instinct to escape than them. It was not wrong to follow them.
Only Alan was a little hesitant, “… But I specifically asked about the direction of the animals’migration. It is said that they are going toward the Third Island.”
The Matriarch had said long ago that the Third Island was a restricted area.
Strangers weren’t allowed to go there.
