Chapter 277: Pregnancy and Fear

However, Hua Xu was not stupid enough to go directly to the source of the loud noise. Instead, he circled around the tribe first to see if it was those cunning monsters who were trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

However, she did not see any monsters wandering around. Instead, she saw many huge wild beasts being killed by the loud noise, with their corpses lying all over the wild. She was filled with joy.

If it were any other time, I don’t know how many tribesmen would have to be sacrificed to kill such a huge beast. Now that we have obtained so much for no reason, we are naturally happy.

But Hua Xu still carefully patrolled around again before returning to the tribe. He immediately called some tribesmen to pull the corpses of the wild animals back to the tribe. These were top-quality food!
Just as Hua Xu was thinking about gathering more tribesmen, he inadvertently saw many fallen trees in the distance.

The trees fell in all directions, but all of them fell in a uniform direction, facing outwards. Inside these trees was an extremely huge pit.

"This seems... like footprints?"

Hua Xu was standing on a slope at this moment. He could see some shapes of the huge pit from afar, but he was still unsure.

But as the saying goes, a skilled person is daring, and she had just led her tribesmen to obtain so many corpses of wild animals, and she was feeling very proud of herself. She then jumped off the slope and walked towards the huge pit.

Looking from a distance, Hua Xu thought that this huge pit was nothing, but it was not until Hua Xu came near the pit that he realized how huge it was.

However, no matter how big the pit is, it is just a pit. Although it occupies a large area, it is only a few feet deep. Thinking that the huge pit looked like a big foot just now, Hua Xu suddenly felt a little curious and involuntarily stepped into the huge pit.

Compared to this huge pit, her little feet might not be as big as one of the pieces of earth and rock.

"If this is really just a footprint, then how huge must the owner of this foot be! Fortunately, the owner of this foot did not pass by, or even stepped directly on the Fengyan tribe, otherwise the Fengyan tribe would have been wiped out by this foot!"

Hua Xu sighed.

Just as she was about to stretch out her other foot and enter the pit to see if there were any wild animal corpses in the huge pit, Hua Xu suddenly felt a warm current rushing from the soles of her feet straight to her heart. Her whole body suddenly felt weak, and she was sweating profusely. She was completely unable to walk.

There was another loud rumbling sound beside her ear, but she was not shocked by it. Instead, she felt that the sound was very familiar. She opened her mouth slightly and made the same loud rumbling sound, as if in response to it.

Boom!

Hua Xu made a thunderous sound, and many tribesmen around were immediately frightened and fell to their knees, kowtowed in the direction of Hua Xu. No one knew why the young tribe leader suddenly became angry and roared out such a mighty divine sound.

"What's wrong with me!"

Hua Xu was also frightened by himself and did not dare to continue stepping on this footprint. He forced himself to suppress the weakness in his body, and immediately reunited with his tribesmen and returned to Fengyan tribe.

At this time, the chief of the Fengyan tribe also hurried back with many young and middle-aged men. It was obvious that they had heard the loud noise, so they gave up hunting and returned to the tribe to check on the safety.

Chief Feng Yan was outside the tribe when he saw Hua Xu leading some tribesmen, carrying or pulling many dead beasts back. He hurriedly asked the young and strong men to help, and he also wanted to ask his daughter some questions.

"Daughter, do you know what happened? Why did these unusual movements suddenly occur?"

The Fengyan tribe leader asked.

Hua Xu wanted to talk about what happened just now, but finally suppressed it in her heart and shook her head, saying, "My daughter doesn't know, I was teaching the tribe members to grow wild fruits in the tribe, and suddenly I heard the loud noise. I went out to see and found the corpses of these beasts, so I took the tribe members out and brought them back to the tribe as food for the winter."

Chief Fengyan had never thought that Huaxu would know. He had just asked casually. After hearing Huaxu's answer, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "My daughter, you did the right thing. You led the tribe to find so many beast carcasses. This is a great achievement. I believe that in a short time, you will be the next chieftain."

Hua Xu said quickly: "Father is in good health, just like an eagle soaring in the sky. I have just learned to fly and cannot leave my father's wings. How can I dare to say that I can take on such a great responsibility?"

"The eagle has flown long enough, and the eaglet should grow up. When I, the old eagle, stop flying, it will be your turn to take over."

The father and daughter exchanged some heartfelt words and then went their separate ways.

Hua Xu stayed in the tribe for a few days peacefully, and occasionally went out to take another look at the huge pit.

But the strange thing was that after she left for the first time, when she came back to the original place, she could no longer see the huge pit. She went back and forth several times and still couldn't see it, so she had to give up.

The sun and the moon were like jumping balls, the wheel of time was flying, and two months passed in a hurry.

Not to mention that the monks do not take these two months seriously, even for ordinary mortals, two months is just a matter of time and there is no need to take it seriously.

But for Hua Xu, these two months were simply the most difficult time in her life!
Hua Xu sat in her room, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, and finally came to the conclusion that she was pregnant! Although the wood and stone resources in the Fengyan tribe were scarce, and many tribesmen lived in a large house, she was the young patriarch and the daughter of the patriarch, so she could naturally have an independent house.

She was lucky that she had an independent house at this time, otherwise she would have been discovered to be pregnant a month ago.

But why is she pregnant? !

She doesn't even have a husband, how could she have a child!
Although the Fengyan tribe was poor, they did have statues of gods to worship. The ones they worshipped were Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones, and his great disciple, Guangchengzi.

The current Fengyan tribe leader is the one who attaches great importance to etiquette. If a man and a woman have sex without getting married in front of Nuwa, he will regard it as the greatest shamelessness, blasphemy against the Lord of Heaven, and insult to the immortals. Once discovered, he will punish them severely.

In the past, several members of the tribe had violated this tribal rule. The lighter ones were beaten half to death, while the more serious ones were directly expelled from the tribe. They had to fend for themselves in the wild, which was no different from waiting to die.

The more Hua Xu thought about it, the more frightened she became. Although she was the daughter of the clan leader and had a noble status, the more noble her status was, the more she had to abide by the clan rules.

If her father found out that she was pregnant before marriage, she would probably be expelled from the tribe immediately.

"I must tie a few more layers of cloth and then find a chance to ask the witch doctor for an abortion drug!"

Hua Xu made up her mind and immediately found some unwanted clothes, tore them into pieces, and tied them tightly around her stomach, trying to make her abdomen as flat as usual.

But just as she was concentrating on tying her belly, the door was suddenly pushed open. Hua Xu was startled and immediately threw the cloth in her hand behind her and looked nervously at the person in the door.

The person who came was her father: Chief Fengyan.

Chief Fengyan walked towards Huaxu with a smile on his face, patted her shoulder vigorously, and laughed: "My daughter, your dream is about to come true!"

Then, without waiting for Hua Xu to guess, he immediately took out an ancient yellow book with three big characters written on it: "The Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting".

"This is the Zuowang Sutra, a Taoist method passed down from Mount Kunlun. When I was hunting outside, I accidentally entered a cave. There was a dry skeleton in the cave, and next to it were a few jade bottles and this Taoist book. The bottle seemed to contain the legendary elixir, but I don't know how long it has been, and it has long turned into ashes. I am old and have no time to practice, so I give this Taoist book to you, my daughter. I hope you can further expand the Fengyan tribe and be engraved on the monument by future generations as the leader of the revival!"

The smiling voice of the Fengyan clan leader echoed in Huaxu's ears. Huaxu couldn't help but pick up the Zuwang Sutra, feeling very excited.

Just as he was about to say something, the Fengyan clan leader noticed the strips of cloth behind Hua Xu and scolded him with a smile, "You are so old, yet you still tear clothes for fun. I remember when you were little, you tore your father's clothes into tatters and made them into rag dolls. I didn't expect you are still tearing them now. You are really not a kid anymore."

Hua Xu's mood immediately became nervous, beads of sweat appeared on his white forehead, and his face was full of shock and uncertainty.

But the Fengyan tribe leader thought that Hua Xu was too excited to speak, so he smiled and patted her shoulder, told her to calm down for a while and go back to practice, and then left the house.

After all, he is the patriarch of a clan and cannot stay outside for too long.

Hua Xu looked at her father's departing back, then at the Zuwang Sutra in her hand. The bitterness in her heart became more and more unbearable. She was grateful for her father's love for her, but also felt guilty for his passion.

"We can't hesitate any longer. We must get rid of this evil creature!"

Hua Xu made up his mind, put away the Zuwang Sutra first, and then went in the direction of the witch doctor.

Witch doctors are the product of the coexistence of humans and witches. At that time, the human race depended on the witch clan, providing them with a steady supply of witches. The witch clan would also send some of its members to the human tribes to take charge, and they were called wizards.

The witch doctor is a way of cultivation created by humans when they went to these wizards to ask for answers.

Witch doctors are in harmony with nature and are naturally knowledgeable about pharmacology. Powerful witch doctors are even as good as Jindan monks, but weak witch doctors only know how to adjust some mundane medicines.

The same is true for the witch doctor of the Fengyan tribe. At most, he can prepare some healing and pathological medicines. It would be too much to ask him to prepare witch medicine that is comparable to elixir.

But Hua Xu knew that the Fengyan witch doctor could prepare abortion drugs.

After all, when tasting the forbidden fruit, some accidents are inevitable. In order to avoid being punished by the tribe, they will almost always ask the witch doctor to prepare some abortion drugs to abort the child, or the man and woman will immediately get married in front of the statue of Nuwa. In this way, there will be no problem from the perspective of time.

But where did Hua Xu get her lover?

She didn't know why she got pregnant, but no one would believe her, so she had to swallow the bitter pill.
