Description
Luo Zhen was picked up by a half-beastman and taken to the tribe as soon as he passed through.
He thought he was going to be forced to become the companion of the half-beastman, who knew that the tribe moved away before the bond was formed.
Luo Zhen, who stayed with the orcs, looked at the tribe razed to the ground by the flood and the group of old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe, he swallowed silently.
Lu Zhan, the delicate and fragile half-orc stood in front of people while densely-dressed in animal skins, said innocently, "We have no tribe anymore."
Luo Zhen: "It's okay, we rebuild the tribe without them."
Lu Zhan: "Food is not enough."
Luo Zhen: "We'll grow our own."
Lu Zhan: "I don't have a partner either."
Luo Zhen: "I'll be it."
Lu Zhan successfully curled the corners of his lips, "That's settled then."
Luo Zhen: "…" Wait, I- no- I don't.
In order to feed this group of old, weak, sick, and disabled, Luo Zhen learned to hunt, build houses, find food in the wild, plant, domesticate, pave roads, and build bridges in the wild and strange world. He must lead this group of people to become rich and well-off.
Luo Zhen discovered that the primitive society he thought seemed a little different from what he had imagined.
Luo Zhen wiped a handful of bangs that were wet and stuck to his forehead, and looked around the surroundings desperately.
He is now standing on a black tall rock, with huge waves rising a few meters high. Luo Zhen is a little far away from the shore, but he is still slapped by the spray. There is heavy fog on the water, even in broad daylight. No matter how good Luo Zhen's eyesight is, he can't see the situation on the opposite side. The only thing that can be sure is that the water that comes up doesn't have the slightest saltiness. At least he can be sure that he is not living on an isolated island at sea.
Luo Zhen didn't know how he got here. He only remembered that after taking a shower last night, he went to bed comfortably and went to sleep, but after opening his eyes again, he appeared in this deserted place, except for his body. Apart from a tattered animal skin skirt, there was nothing to ask for help.
Kidnapped? Which prank to hurt friends? Crossing?
With too little information, Luo Zhen couldn't judge his current situation at all.
Even more desperate is that behind him is an active volcano. The air is full of the smell of sulfur dioxide. As long as you look up, you can see the thick smoke from the crater. Fortunately, in addition to the thick smoke and smell, the surrounding ground temperature It's not high, Luo Zhen even saw a few very good-growing silver sword chrysanthemums, which seemed to be a little old, at least don't worry about the volcano erupting suddenly.
Confirming that except for the endless water, Luo Zhen did not stand on the top of the rock for too long, except for the endless water. He carefully climbed down the surface of the rock with his hands. When I reached the bottom, I went to a small cluster of moss that I found before. I carefully picked a large handful of moss and cleaned it carefully in the small puddle that had accumulated next to it. Then I walked back a little hastily.
After walking for about five minutes, I came to a shore with relatively small waves. There was a tall man lying there. The man's face was a little pale and he was naked, with only a piece tied to his waist and no animal could be seen. Peeled skins.
The animal skin was originally gray and white, but at this moment it was stained dark red with blood. Even the black rock lying under the man's body, even if there is no blood stains on it, you can still smell a strong smell when you approach. The smell of blood.
Luo Zhen didn't know this man. When he opened his eyes, he saw the man lying beside him.
The man's facial features are a bit deep, the outline is handsome, and he feels a bit mixed. From the outside, he can still clearly see the yellow-skinned Asian characteristics of a man. Even lying on the ground, it can be seen that the man's height is at least 1.8 meters. The muscles on his body are not obvious, but he poked with his fingers and found that it was very hard and couldn't move at all.
After returning, Luo Zhen first stretched his hand under the man's nose, feeling the faint warm breath, and then relieved himself. He wiped the two fairly flat rocks with animal skin skirts, and then took the moss back. After drying the water droplets on it and smashing it with stones, he carefully lifted the animal skin tied around the man's waist.
Seeing that huge wound that ran across the waist and abdomen was still leaking blood, even though he had seen it once before, Luo Zhen couldn't help taking a breath.
He looked at the smashed moss next to him. This was one of the few plants he knew on this island. He didn't know how effective this thing was, but he wouldn't stop bleeding for men. , I'm afraid that a man can live alive due to excessive blood loss and die.
This is also one of the situations that made Luo Zhen feel desperate. Although being on a deserted island scared him, what made him even more scared was that this unlucky ghost who lived here and was seriously injured like him would die in front of him.
"Brother, you have to hold on."
Luo Zhen took a deep breath and carefully covered the wound with the pounded moss. The animal skin covered before was already wet by water. Luo Zhen picked a lot of silver sword chrysanthemum leaves to fix the moss mud. , And wait for the wound to be * before putting down a snack.
"Gurulu", Luo Zhen's relaxed stomach made a protest. When he woke up, most of his body was buried in the water. It took a lot of effort to drag the men around him to this rather dry place, and then went to observe. In the environment he was in, he searched everywhere for something that could heal the man. As soon as he was busy surviving, his stomach made a sound of hunger, Luo Zhen realized that the time had passed for a long time.
Today is a cloudy day. You can't tell the time if you can't see the sun. Maybe it's because of the volcano behind him. Luo Zhen didn't see any traces of animal activity on this island. At least there is no need to worry about beasts suddenly after nightfall. pop up.
The waves around the deserted island are very fast, and there are no fish moving on the shore at all. Under such turbulent currents, fishing for fish in the water is also very difficult for people who have only played in the swimming pool a few times. There is no difference.
The man had been asleep, Luo Zhen sat for a while, only to get up again when he found that the wound had no more blood oozing. He needs to find food and see if he can find something that can make a fire before it's dark.
Luo Zhen is very calm. Probably he also knows that even if he is flustered at this time, he cannot change the current situation. Perhaps it is because there is still an injury around him. Even if Luo Zhen does not know each other, at least he has a companion for Luo Zhen to go well. Think about how to save yourself.
There is fresh water all around, so there is no need to worry about the lack of water. Luo Zhen returned to the place where he found moss before. The terrain here is relatively low. A small part of the water waves hitting the shore will fall here, plus that piece. The huge rock, even if it's sunny, the sun won't be able to shine in this corner, but it forms a moist zone, and it's the only place where you can see a large green area nearby.
Luo Zhen searched for a circle in the moss, hoping that there would be fish in the puddle here, but it was a pity that he was disappointed. In the end, he could only pull down the moss that was as high as a finger, and get it to the open space next to him. In the open space, he set up a huge SOS with a rock and shook the green moss on it. If you look at it in the air, It is quite obvious that Luo Zhen is very satisfied with his results, and hopes that if there are patrols nearby, he can see his distress signal.
Luo Zhen felt even hungry after everything was done, but it was just that she could bear it without eating for a day.
The man is still asleep, but his complexion looks much better.
Luo Zhen moisturized the man's dry and chapped lips with wet animal skins. There were only him and a man who was injured and unconscious. Luo Zhen didn't mind sloshing naked. After the animal skins were used up, he put them on the dry stone next to him. On to dry.
After waking up from the shock and hunger for a day, Luo Zhen, who drank a stomach of water, only felt exhausted, and the sky was getting dark. There was no other sound except the sound of water waves. It was so empty that it made my heart hairy. .
Luo Zhen sat down next to the man. The wind blowing from the surface of the water at night was a bit cold, but the man's body was as warm as a stove, even if it was just skin-to-skin, it could drive away the cold around him.
"I hope we can go back as soon as we wake up." Even though he knew that the man would not answer him, Luo Zhen still talked to the man on his own. Only the man's body temperature and his own voice can make him feel at ease. At this moment, he is grateful to this unlucky brother beside him. If only he was himself, he would not be able to be so calm.
"It's a pity that I don't know your name yet. My name is Luo Zhen. We have met each other. If we meet in the future, maybe we can become friends."
Luo Zhenxu talked to the man babblingly. Maybe the man was too warm around him. He fell asleep faintly after just saying a few words. On the first day when he came to a deserted island, even if Luo Zhen was worried anymore, he still had no sense of crisis after living in a peaceful and safe environment for more than 20 years.
Until the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to glow slowly opened. The man did not immediately push away Luo Zhen, who was almost on his body. His eyesight was very good, even though he couldn't see five fingers around him. He could also see the face of Luo Zhen who was close at hand. He remembered this man, who saw one of the sacrifices thrown into the water by his people to the God of Water when he came here.
The man actually didn't want to save him at first, but this man persisted in the water for a long time. When his other sacrifice companions all sank into the arms of the water god, this man was able to get away from him with his unskilled water. Floating so far near here, maybe it was moved by this person's strong will to survive. The man ignored the torn wound on his body and dragged this person to the shore.
Was it the wound he helped deal with? The man looked down at his waist and abdomen. The injury was a bit serious this time. He thought he would sleep for two or three days to wake up. He didn't expect that the wound will heal in less than a day, and the injury is so serious. , The pain is not serious.
The man narrowed his eyes suspiciously, and soon fell asleep again. He now needs to regain his strength as soon as possible and rush back to the tribe.
Luo Zhen was awakened from starvation. When he first opened his eyes, he saw a dark stone in his eyes. It was a bit unrecoverable. After blinking his eyes a few times, the memory of yesterday slowly returned to the cage. It turned out that yesterday was not a dream, he really came to a deserted island somehow.
Luo Zhen sighed. Before he could finish his breath, he reached out to touch an empty piece, and suddenly got up. What about the man who was injured and unconscious yesterday? Could it be that when he woke up, the man was lucky enough to go back, only he was left behind?
Luo Zhen was a little panicked, and quickly looked around. Who knew that when he turned his head, he saw a naked or * man standing in front of him with a black behemoth that was twice his size on his shoulders. The giant beast's abdomen was torn apart by a huge crack, and bright red blood flowed along the crack to the man's body.
The author has something to say: pre-collected articles [come, legs for you] beg a collection!
Copywriting:
Gu Baifei, who came back from working overtime late at night, sat in the bus and swiped his phone, and was swiped by the overwhelming news of the actor's suicide.
If a few years ago, Gu Baifei might still be sad for the death of the actor, after all, he would be regarded as the group of people who grew up watching the movie of the actor.
However, Gu Baifei, who was exhausted physically and mentally by work, turned off his mobile phone and fell asleep after leaning in the car.
When Gu Baifei opened his eyes again, he realized that either the world was crazy or he was crazy.
The beautiful secret hand put a piece of information in front of him: President, these are the newcomers to be promoted
Gu Baifei looked at the actor's green face, and decisively chose the other party
Who knows that the current actor is still a little pitiful, not only an illegitimate child, but also a bunch of superb relatives, who have just graduated and are burdened with a lot of debts.
What's more important is that the entertainment industry, which is clearly in order to make money, does not have any acting skills.
Only then did Gu Baifei realize that he was not reborn but had crossed into a parallel world.
Thinking of another world's age when the actor had won a lot of awards, Gu Baifei was heartbroken.
He looked at the actor who had only one face to see when he was not talking, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Say aloud what I just taught you."
The actor's ears were red, and he said obediently: I am the man who wants to be the actor
Gu Baifei nodded in satisfaction: What else
The actor's neck became red this time, and he endured his shame and continued: Mo...Do not bully the young man.
The sun had just climbed to the horizon, and through the dense fog on the water, the sunbeams falling down were extremely dazzling.
The man stood in front of Luo Zhen with backlighting. Luo Zhen couldn't see the other person's expression. He only felt a strong smell of blood rushing over his face. The blood from the beast's wound ran across the man's naked upper body, his waist and abdomen. I re-tied the animal skin, and it was already stained red by blood. I don't know if the animal skin was the blood of the giant beast on the opponent's shoulder or the blood oozing out of the opponent's wound.
"You... are you okay?" Luo Zhen swallowed. The man's height is higher than he thought yesterday. He needs to lift his head slightly to see the other person's face. Maybe he just fought. However, the man still carried a murderous aura that people couldn't ignore. His eyes were wild and arrogant. He looked at people as if he was looking at his prey, making Luo Zhen a little scared by the other's aura just when he met each other. Soft feet.
The man looked at him quietly for a while, and then threw the things on his shoulders to the ground. Only then did Luo Zhen see the whole picture of the giant beast. The beast was dark and had two long tentacles on both sides of his lips, a bit like a catfish. But the sharp teeth can be seen from the half-opened huge mouth, and there are still some meat foam between the teeth, which can be seen as carnivorous creatures.
Even though the giant beast has gills and tails, it has four short, thick legs and webbed feet. Luo Zhen was sure that he had never seen such a strange creature before, even on TV.
The man's hand was very strong. After the giant beast was thrown on the ground, he quickly inserted his hands into the wound under the giant beast's abdomen, broke the giant beast in half after breaking it hard, and stretched out his hand to dig into it for a while. He took out a large handful of orange as if it were fish eggs, and handed it to Luo Zhen one by one round and crystal clear things.
Seeing that Luo Zhen stood silly and did not reach out to take it, the man handed the thing forward again. Seeing that Luo Zhen finally moved, he threw the thing into Luo Zhen's hand.
"For me?" Luo Zhen asked tentatively in a low voice, holding the still warm fish eggs.
After the man gave Luo Zhen the things, he ignored him. He was starving for a while, and no matter how big things were, it was not important to fill his stomach. He knelt directly on the ground, buried his head in the wound of the giant beast that was torn apart by him, directly bite a large piece of white and tender raw meat, and chewed it.
It was the first time that Luo Zhen saw such a rough eating method. He involuntarily took two steps back. Although frightened by the man's actions, Luo Zhen didn't turn around and ran. He wandered on the deserted island yesterday. , Knowing that the only creatures that can move on this deserted island are him and a man.
After he had food to eat, the man's eating movements slowed down, his mouth was full of food, and he looked up and saw Luo Zhen standing still holding fish eggs. He couldn't help frowning, and his beautiful peach eyes were also Brought a bit of dissatisfaction.
Catfish's eggs are the most nutritious thing. If it weren't for the person who helped him treat the wounds, men wouldn't distribute all the catfish's eggs to each other. Who knows that the other party hasn't eaten it yet, doesn't he know that eating catfish eggs is the most energetic when they just leave the body?
"Eat." The man's voice was a bit hoarse, as if he didn't talk often.
Although Luo Zhen was a bit hungry, he was still a little bit resistant to eating the eggs of this unidentified beast raw. Seeing that the man seemed to have no malice towards him, he quietly felt relieved and suggested: "I dried some moss yesterday. , It should be almost done now, do you want to make a fire and bake things before eating?"
The man's chewing motion stopped when he heard the words, and looked at Luo Zhen as if he was looking at a fool. Since this man was offered as a sacrifice to the God of Water, he should be a tribe living near the Great Lake. Could it be that they were members of the tribe? Have you never seen a catfish? The energy in the catfish eggs will slowly flow away after they are out of the body for a long time. What use is it if they are cooked?
The man stood up, Luo Zhen thought that the man was going to light a fire with him, and was thinking about finding a place to put the things in his hands. Who knew that when the man stretched out his hand, he grabbed Luo Zhen's wrist directly and the other hand Holding Luo Zhen's chin, he stuffed the catfish egg into the opponent's mouth with one hand.
The catfish eggs melted in the mouth, slippery and greasy, and still had a choking fishy smell. Even if Luo Zhen was hungry no matter how hungry he was, he could still feel that this thing was unpalatable. However, after the catfish's eggs entered the stomach, the stomach quickly became full, and a warm heat rose up.
Seeing that Luo Zhen had eaten all the catfish eggs, the man let go of his hand with satisfaction, returned to the original place and sat on the ground, directly holding up the huge catfish beast and continuing to feast on it, as if worried that Luo Zhen hadn't eaten yet. When he was full, he tore off a large piece of meat and threw it to the opponent.
Luo Zhen did not pick it up. He was stuffed and eaten a large handful of fish eggs just now, which made him feel sick for a while. After coughing for several times, he was relieved. With the fish eggs, he was not interested in eating again after he was not hungry. The meat is raw, but he didn't waste the big piece of meat that the man threw to him. Instead, he wrapped the piece of meat with the silver sword chrysanthemum leaves left over yesterday and put it in a cool place. He couldn't get it like a man did. Such a big fish beast, then this piece of meat is his next meal.
"Brother, my name is Luo Zhen, what's your name?" Luo Zhen intends to be the only companion he can find.
Although the man was busy eating, he didn't seem to be too bad for Luo Zhen's senses. There was still time to answer Luo Zhen's question while swallowing food, "Lu Zhan."
"Lu Zhan." Luo Zhen had a smile on his face, but the question he asked was a bit eager, "Do you know where we are now? Can you contact others for help?"
Lu Zhan turned his head to look at him, his eyes were a little strange, why did he ask for help? His tribe offered him as a sacrifice to the God of Water. If they see him alive and go back, they will be scared to catch him and sacrifice again. And his tribe is far away from here, and the vicinity of the Great Lake is not within the scope of their tribe, so it is even more unlikely that someone will come to rescue them.
"There is too much fog on the water near here, and the waves on the shore are also urgent. I am worried that even if a boat passes by, we will not be found. There is no food on the island and there is still an active volcano behind us. It is too dangerous for us to stay here.
"Boat, what is it?"
"A boat? Of course it is something that can walk on the water." Luo Zhen was a little puzzled, would anyone living in modern times know about a boat? He thought so, so he asked. "Have you never seen a ship?"
"No." Lu Zhan shook his head, can he walk on the water? Is it a secret tool in their tribe? Lu Zhan was not interested in exploring the secrets of other people's tribes, so he explained. "Our tribe is far away from here, not close to the big lake, and there is no need to walk on the water."
"tribe?"
Looking at Luo Zhen's silly look, Lu Zhan kindly reminded, "Don't even think about going back to your tribe. If someone in your tribe finds you escaped from the embrace of the water god, they will catch you. Offer one more sacrifice." Lu Zhan paused and added, "Maybe it's no longer a sacrifice this time."
Luo Zhen found out what was wrong, but obviously his mind had not digested the information in Lu Zhan's words, "Brother, is this a tricky game? Are you assigned to the role of primitive savage? What tribe, what Festival? My little heart is not scared, where is the camera? Stop playing, I am still waiting to go back to the interview, I can tell you, I just received an interview notice from a big company, this is my instructor I recommend the opportunity. If I fail the interview, the old man may be so angry that he will withdraw my graduation certificate. Please tell them to end this game quickly, and I will treat them as if I have had a dream in the past two days. Don't worry, I You must not be held accountable."
Luo Zhen collapsed and said a lot, Lu Zhan basically didn't understand what the other party was saying, and he didn't care, so he continued to concentrate on his catfish.
After only talking for a while, the huge catfish two or three times the size of an adult man was almost eaten by Lu Zhan, leaving only a pile of internal organs, and the catfish head and limbs were not eaten.
Lu Zhan gave a big burp, touched his little bulging belly, and he couldn't help hissing when he pulled the wound.
In order to catch food, the moss mud that Luo Zhen helped him bandage yesterday was washed away by the water. Lu Zhan could only continue to tie it with animal skins, but apparently because of the excessive movement, the wound showed signs of cracking and bleeding.
"Hey, do you still have the herbal medicine you got yesterday? Help me heal the wound, and I can take you back to the shore." Lu Zhan lifted the animal skin, and the wound that just showed signs of healing had already cracked, despite the time. It can be recovered after a long time, but it is still a bit troublesome after all.
Luo Zhen was still asking questions, and when he saw the wound opened by Lu Zhan, he was also startled. He still didn't know where he was, so naturally he didn't want to look at this one in front of him. The stranger had an accident and hurriedly smashed the moss he picked last night and applied it to the other's wound to stop the bleeding.
Lu Zhan has naturally seen moss, but he has never seen anyone use this ubiquitous thing to heal his wounds. Because of his special status, he has never hunted with warriors in the tribe. If anyone is injured, The wizards in the tribe would also use witch drugs to treat them. With an identity like Lu Zhan, it is naturally impossible to know what those witch drugs were made of.
Seeing these moss at this moment, Lu Zhan picked up a little curiously and sniffed. Seeing that Luo Zhen hadn't stopped him, he stuffed the moss in his hand into his mouth and chewed it. There was a smell of mud and grass.
Before he swallowed, someone hit the back of his hand. He raised his head and looked at Luo Zhen. Luo Zhen looked at him speechlessly, "Why do you eat everything?"
Although the smashed moss couldn't make Lu Zhan's wound heal immediately, it was quite effective just to stop the blood oozing from the wound. Perhaps because of Luo Zhen's help to heal himself, Lu Zhan is also willing to answer all kinds of strange questions raised by Luo Zhen, even if these questions are the most basic common sense for him, he is not impatient.
After the call, Luo Zhen felt that either Lu Zhan was crazy or he was crazy. Why did he understand every word the other party said, but when combined, he didn't seem to understand the meaning?
Luo Zhen wants to know the current year, month and day, but Lu Zhan doesn't understand what Luo Zhen said about the year. Although there are divisions, they are the same as Luo Zhen knows. Seven days are one week, four weeks are one month, and three seasons are one year. , But there is no Gregorian and lunar calendar. There is only a saying of how many years have passed. This number is still less than a hundred. Luo Zhen found that Lu Zhan's pronunciation of these words was a little different from his native language, but it did not affect Luo Zhen's understanding.
Then came the tribe Lu Zhan was talking about. Lu Zhan's tribe was called the Black Leopard Tribe. It was a full five days away from this deserted island. Lu Zhan had not taken the initiative to come into contact with the tribe living by the big lake, so he didn't I don't know the name of the tribe where Luo Zhen is located. However, as far as he knew, that tribe would send sacrifices to the water * every year. It was the first time he saw a sacrifice falling into the water and floating around here without incident. Otherwise, he wouldn't be saved because of a momentary curiosity. It's Luo Zhen.
Lu Zhan also looked at Luo Zhen when he said here. No one knows better than him how many dangerous and powerful creatures live in the big lake. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to stay here when he was finally able to go out. Heal on a desert island.
Luo Zhen spent a lot of effort to understand the information Lu Zhan said. Compared with his inexplicably drifting on this desert island that seems to be volcanic erupting at any time, it is obvious that what Lu Zhan said made him even more unacceptable.
Did he really travel through, or travel to a remote primitive and savage era?
Isn't it a tricky game that someone deliberately created for himself?
However, Lu Zhan didn't let him digest it for too long. He patted the wound that had been re-tied with animal skins. The moss mud was refreshing and cool, but it alleviated a lot of pain.
He looked up at the sky. As time went by, the mist on the water had slowly dissipated, "The sun has come out, and we will be back on the shore in a while."
"Go back to the shore? Didn't you say that this place is far from the shore? How to go back?" He doesn't have the ability to swim long distances. "And you are still injured. What should I do if the water wound worsens at this time?"
"I'm going back to the tribe. When the sun comes out, the big fish will not float their heads. If you don't leave now, you will have to wait seven days."
Lu Zhan walked to the shore as he spoke. He still remembered the promise to take Luo Zhen back to the shore.
Although the water waves here are not as rushing as other places, it is not easy to get into the water. Luo Zhen didn't know how the other party dragged such a big catfish back to the shore before.
Lu Zhan stood on the boulder closest to the water, turned his head, and reached out to Luo Zhen. Probably he had never taken care of it before. Lu Zhan's black hair was a bit long, tangled in strands, and the wind blowing on the water could only stir up the ends of the hair.
There is no food on this isolated island, and there is no way to ask for help. Even if he has not fully believed what Lu Zhan said, Luo Zhen did not want to be left alone on the isolated island by the other party.
Although he didn't know how Lu Zhan would take himself across this water surface where the opposite land was completely invisible, Luo Zhen gritted his teeth and walked over.
When Luo Zhen walked to his side, Lu Zhan hugged the opponent's waist, a little under his feet, and jumped into the water lightly.
Luo Zhen was taken aback and choked when he entered the water. He didn't have the energy to see the surroundings. Naturally, he didn't know. The man who jumped into the water with his arms around him had a pair of slender feet slowly. Covered with white scales, his head was gently lifted out of the water, and the opponent only maintained it to the extent that he could breathe. Then he kicked his foot forward and rushed straight forward like an off-string arrow.
The moss mud blocked the smell of blood, and Lu Zhan was not worried about attracting the attention of the aquatic life.
The distance Lu Zhan said was very far. It was indeed far beyond Luo Zhen's expectations. His limbs had begun to turn white and wrinkled because of being soaked in the water for a long time, but he still remembered to firmly climb Lu Zhan's shoulders. Lest the other party accidentally let go and let himself sink into the water.
It wasn't until the sun started to be westward, Luo Zhen's feet finally stepped on the land again, but he was completely relieved and he didn't have the energy to think about how Lu Zhan would have such a strong physical strength to take an adult man to swim in the water. Most of the day.
This is a gravel beach. Lu Zhan shook off the water on his head. Perhaps it was because the moss mud was wrapped up with a layer of animal skin, so this time it was not completely washed away by the water. He had already seen Luo Zhen. How to make the moss mud, I plan to find some moss to replace after entering the forest. I just sorted it out at random, and re-wrapped the animal skin to the waist, carefully avoiding the wound.
"I've brought you back to the shore, then I'm leaving." Lu Zhan said as he lifted his feet and walked to the forest outside the gravel beach.
When Luo Zhen heard this, he got up from the ground, grabbed the other's wrist, and asked anxiously: "Where are you going?"
"Back to the tribe."
"Then what should I do?" Luo Zhen knew Lu Zhan alone here. If he really crossed into the barbaric era, would he still survive? No matter what you think, the most important thing is to hug the thighs of the person in front of you now, and wait for him to figure out the situation in the future before making plans.
Lu Zhan looked back at him strangely, "How do I know what you are going to do?"
Luo Zhen was anxious, for fear that Lu Zhan would leave like this, "Then can you take me to your tribe?"
"Are you going to our tribe?" Lu Zhan looked at the opponent's thin arms and legs, and said with a bit of disgust: "Our tribe does not accept fighters from other races." And looking at Luo Zhen's white and pure appearance, it doesn't look like it. It is a person who can beastly and fight.
"Didn't you say that my tribe wants me to sacrifice to the water god? Now I can't return to my tribe. If you don't care about me, maybe I won't live long." Luo Zhen shook Lu Zhan's hand. He turned his head and looked at each other imploringly with big eyes, "As the saying goes, save people to the end, even if your tribe does not accept fighters from other tribes, can you take me to another tribe?"
"There are no other tribes around here." There are not many places suitable for tribes to live in on the mainland, and the tribes have their own exclusive territories. The area around the big lake has been occupied by Luo Zhen's tribe, and after crossing the forest, there are black panthers. Territory of the tribe.
And the Black Panther Tribe is the dangerous Nanlu Plain. The Nanlu Plain is located under Changfeng Mountain where the human face bird lives. Even the most powerful Black Panther tribe warriors dare not break into the Nanlu Plain, let alone. Some tribes will go there to settle.
And Lu Zhan had never left this place. He had been the furthest away on the deserted island where they had been staying just now. Naturally, it was impossible to know other tribes. However, every three years the tribe will select a group of warriors to go to a tribe called Tiger Lion to exchange some stone salt, but that tribe is far away from them, and it takes months for the warriors to come back every time they go out. , And every time someone will die on the road, one can imagine how dangerous the trip is.
Seeing Lu Zhan's refusal, Luo Zhen's mind quickly turned, thinking about a reason to follow the other party temporarily, "What if I don't join your tribe, but go to your tribe as a guest?"
"A guest?" The word was a bit strange, but Lu Zhan still understood what Luo Zhen meant.
Luo Zhen nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I just went to live in your tribe for a few days, and I will leave after I find a place to settle. Don't worry, I will not cause you trouble." Luo Zhen is afraid that Lu Zhan will not. Believe, almost raised his hand to swear.
Lu Zhan lowered his head and thought for a while. Although the tribe was unwilling to accept fighters from other races, he didn't mind that people from other races who could not be transformed into beasts were the companions of their own fighters. Thinking of this, Lu Zhan raised his head and looked at Luo Zhen again. From the physical appearance, the other party might be very pleasing to the soldiers. If Luo Zhen is willing to eat the fruit of the child tree, maybe the leader will ask the other party to stay.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan nodded and smiled at Luo Zhen with a rare open mouth, showing a row of big white teeth, "Okay, then you can go back to the tribe with me."
Luo Zhen finally felt relieved when he heard the words. He let out a long sigh of relief. He was about to thank the other party. Who knew that a wave of water splashed all over him. Luo Zhen slowly turned around with a look of water droplets, and then saw an unforgettable scene.
A giant beast with more than a dozen stories high jumped out of the water, with its giant mouth open, and the sharp and sharp teeth could be seen. When Luo Zhen looked over, the giant beast's eyes moved, as if facing him. Regardless, the opponent's aura of despising sentient beings made Luo Zhen feel as if he had become the food in the mouth of a giant beast, and would be swallowed by the opponent at any time.
The sun shining on the black scales on the back of the giant beast is a bit dazzling. It jumps high. If it weren't for the more than ten-meter-high wave of water from the body or underneath, just looking at the beast's appearance in the air would make people think of the other side. Is flying.
This time is long or short, and it is not short, until the giant beast rushes into the water, Luo Zhen has not recovered from this shocking scene.
"Canglong?" Luo Zhen murmured a name in disbelief.
Lu Zhan sighed lightly, "It's really troublesome, I didn't expect the big fish to run up so quickly." As he said, he carried Luo Zhen on his shoulders, and the giant beast in the water jumped out of the water again and headed for the next forest. Run away.
The water is the place of those big fishes. Even if they just stay on the shore, it is a very dangerous thing. Some big fishes have limbs and can climb onto the land for a short time. Lu Zhan, who is busy rushing back to the tribe, doesn't want it. At this moment, confront those big fishes.
"These are not moss." Lu Zhan said affirmatively as Luo Zhen carefully pulled up a few weeds with purple flowers. As a reward for bringing the other party back to the tribe, Luo Zhen needs to help him deal with the wounds on his body.
"Well, this is big thistle." Luo Zhen carefully identified it several times before finally replied affirmatively. This weed was because he accidentally injured his forehead when he was a child. His grandmother pulled out a few weeds at the corner of the house and smashed them to put them on him. This was why he kept remembering the role of the weeds.
"Large thistle? Is it better than moss?" Lu Zhan leaned forward curiously. He knew that the moss was more comfortable than the soil he used before. At this moment, he heard that there is another weed that can stop the bleeding. He looked at the cluster he had just found. Moss is still a little bit sad.
Since entering the forest, the sky is almost dark. The forest at night is the most dangerous. Lu Zhan didn't want to take a person with little self-protection ability to drive in the dark, so he found a safe place not long after entering the forest. Place, plan to continue on the road tomorrow.
Frightened by the giant beast resembling a dragon, it took Luo Zhen a while to recover. At this moment, he basically believed what Lu Zhan said before, at least not in the world he lives in. It is possible to see such a huge and dangerous creature, if it was discovered, it would have long been posted on the Internet.
So now his thoughts are the same as before, and he can only follow the person in front of him who doesn't seem to be malicious to him, and then make plans after he understands the situation in the world. After all, for those who grew up in peaceful times, Luo Zhen doesn't think he has the ability to survive alone in the wilderness. Those poisonous insects and beasts hiding behind the grass and trees can rush to eat them when they are alone. Yourself.
Perhaps it was because he finally confirmed the fact that he had already crossed, Luo Zhen's mood was not very good, and relatively speaking, he was much less. He found a stone and smashed a few large thistles he found in his hand, and then carefully applied it to Lu. On Zhan's wound, it was obvious that the other party took him a day of swimming with water today, and even carried himself so far, Luo Zhen thought that the other party's wound was about to crack again. But after wiping away the remaining moss and mud, Luo Zhen found that the other party's wound had almost healed, and he could slowly heal even without applying the medicine.
Are the people here so good at healing? Or does the moss on that desert island really have such a powerful medicinal effect? Although Luo Zhen was a little puzzled, he still helped him put on a thistle bandage again.
Although he was a little reluctant to find the moss that was hard to find, Lu Zhan was still satisfied with the treatment of the wound. He threw a cyan fruit to Luo Zhen, "It is too close to the big lake, it is not suitable for hunting, today you will first Eat some fruit to cushion your stomach."
Luo Zhen looked at the fruit in his hand. It looked a bit like a green pear. He wiped it with animal skins and took a bite. It was full of water, but the mouth tasted bitter and astringent. After only chewing, Luo Zhen's entire face was wrinkled. Up.
Lu Zhan chuckled when he saw it. He didn't dislike the taste of the fruit. After a few bites, he leaned against a tree trunk and planned to close his eyes to rest.
After swallowing the bitter fruit in his mouth, Luo Zhen glanced at the other party. Seeing that the other party was planning to go to bed so carelessly, he was a little bit puzzled, "Don't we need to take turns to watch the night? Or light a fire?"
Lu Zhan didn't open his eyes, "Can you find out if there is a beast coming?" Although it was only for a short time, it was enough for Lu Zhan to see Luo Zhen's strength clearly.
Luo Zhen choked. Indeed, if he kept his watch at night, he might not be able to spot the beast. Maybe he could only react when the beast pounced on him and attacked him.
"And I didn't bring out the flint, so I couldn't light it." Lu Zhan's voice became lighter and softer, as if he was really going to fall asleep, "Go to bed early after eating. We still have a long way to go tomorrow."
Luo Zhen looked at the man whose breathing was getting longer and longer, and quickly ate the fruit, found a place closest to Lu Zhan, and leaned to rest.
This night Luo Zhen was destined to be unable to sleep well. After nightfall, the forest seemed as if all the creatures living here had begun to move. The sound of insects was endless, and between dreaming and waking, Luo Zhen even heard a few wolf howls and was frightened. He almost threw himself on the people around him before he felt relieved, until the sky was dark and the surrounding sounds slowly disappeared before he fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he was pushed awake by Lu Zhan. The other party didn't know when he went to hunt a hog deer and came back. The hog deer's neck has been twisted. The first time Luo Zhen woke up, he saw Lu Zhan bite. The skin on the neck of the hog deer was opened, and when he vomited to the side, it was the scene of the mouth eating the bright red blood of the hog deer.
Luo Zhen knew that he had crossed, but would you like to show him something so exciting every day? If it hadn't been for his little heart to be strong, seeing Lu Zhan's face covered with blood, I'm afraid he could not help screaming.
"Drink." Lu Zhan wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and handed the hog deer to him still.
Luo Zhen shook his head repeatedly, "No...no, thank you, I'm not thirsty yet."
Lu Zhan glanced at him disgustingly, and didn't even drink blood. No wonder he was so thin and weak. Lu Zhan didn't force it. After drinking all the deer's blood, he peeled off the deer skin with his hands and feet neatly, cut off a large piece of warm venison with a sharp stone, and threw it to the opponent. The hog deer gulped.
Looking at the raw meat with blood in his hand, and then at Lu Zhan who was eating upright, Luo Zhen also knew that there was no way to dislike this life of stubborn blood and blood, so he made some construction for himself, and ate a lot. Get up, he only ate a slap-sized green pear last night, and he is indeed hungry at the moment.
Lu Zhan's eating speed is very fast. Luo Zhen just barely finished eating the meat in his hand. Lu Zhan over there has already gnawed a whole hog deer so that only the internal organs and bones are left.
Using the weeds next to him to clean up the deer blood on his body, Lu Zhan walked to Luo Zhen and squatted down, "The smell of blood here is too strong, let's leave early."
Luo Zhen nodded, and before leaving, he pulled a few large thistles to spare before he climbed onto Lu Zhan's back.
Luo Zhen didn't care too much about being carried by other men on his back. Lu Zhan's feet were fast. He had seen this yesterday. He had just climbed onto Lu Zhan's back and was under Lu Zhan's feet. It rushed out at one point.
There are no people walking in the forest. Even if there are a few animal roads, they are moving in a different direction, but Lu Zhan does not seem to be affected. The speed is even faster than when he left the lake bank yesterday, in order not to be affected. When the grass branches were scraped, Luo Zhen didn't dare to probe his head and look outside. He could only put his head on the opponent's back and watch the rows of grass and trees quickly retreat.
Lu Zhan ran for a whole day, and finally stopped to rest until the evening. Fortunately, he had eaten a large piece of raw venison in the morning.
I didn't find the big thistle in the rest place tonight, but Luo Zhen pulled out a few when he left before. It was just right now. After changing the medicine to Lu Zhan again, Lu Zhan didn't know where he picked it again. After a few wild fruits came back, the two did not speak much after sharing the food, and began to rest leaning on the tree trunk.
Luo Zhen thought that the other party had run for a day with his back on his back. He must be exhausted and did not disturb him. He only quietly observed the surrounding situation. He could rest on Lu Zhan's back during the day, so he was in good spirits at the moment. , Since the noise of insects and beasts at night will make you unable to sleep, even if you know your vigilance is not good, you still plan to stay at night just in case.
Lu Zhan would only hunt a wild beast every morning and return as food for the day. After the raw venison before, it is much easier for Luo Zhen to accept other raw meat. He can even drink two mouthfuls of blood. He couldn't get used to the sensation of the sticky and greasy * smell falling off his throat. In the end, he would save one of the night's wild fruits until the morning, and eat it with raw meat, which was considered as a supplement of water.
This kind of non-stop driving day lasted for five days. Until the afternoon of the fifth day, Lu Zhan stopped under a large rock with his back on his back. After Luo Zhen was put down, Lu Zhan pulled in the haystack. After a while, he pulled out two shabby animal skins and put them on his body.
"Aren't you... hot?" Luo Zhen looked at the strong sun above his head and asked strangely as Lu Zhan wrapped himself tightly.
Lu Zhan smiled and didn't explain much. He wrapped some wild fruits picked on the road with another piece of animal skin. The whole person's momentum became a little sickly, and the tone of his speech was a little bit weak, "Quiet tribe. When you get there, if someone asks, you will say that you came to this neighborhood after fleeing, and then you met me."
Although he didn't understand why the other party said this, Luo Zhen nodded.
Lu Zhan continued to explain: "Don't mention that you are a sacrifice. No matter which tribe you are, you don't like the sacrifices you run away. You just have to say that your tribe was invaded by other tribes, and you followed The people are separated."
Lu Zhan paused, "If you want to stay in our tribe, you must choose a warrior to be his partner, and eat the fruit of the mother-child tree within three years, otherwise even if the warrior you choose is willing to be with you At the same time, you will still be driven away by the tribe." Lu Zhan's lips curled up with a smile, "Our tribe is very repulsive to foreigners."
Luo Zhen swallowed, "Thank you, I know how to do it."
But what is the fruit of the mother-child tree? Luo Zhen didn't have time to ask, and when he found out later, he regretted not asking clearly today.
When Lu Zhan brought Luo Zhen back to the gate of the tribe, they met two warriors who were patrolling. Both seemed to know Lu Zhan. Seeing him coming back from outside the tribe, he was a little surprised with a stranger by his side.
"A Zhan, did you go outside to pick the fruit again?" One of the older men asked with disapproval when seeing the animal skin in Lu Zhan's arms.
Lu Zhan disturbed his head when he heard the words, "This is not because the warrior who went hunting has not come back. I just pick up something and exchange it." Lu Zhan opened the corner of the animal skin so that the two of them could see the contents, "I'll go this time. It's a bit far away, and I picked a lot of fruits. If you like it, I can keep some for you."
The patrolling man waved his hand, "I don't have a partner. I don't need these things. I'll leave it to those who have partners and children to exchange with you." The man said and looked at Luo Zhen who was behind Lu Zhan. He raised his chin slightly and asked Lu Zhan with his eyes how he brought a foreigner back.
Lu Zhan said the previous excuse to the man again, "I'm about to take him to see the leader."
The man nodded, and put them into the tribe without asking more questions.
Luo Zhen had never seen such a messy place. Just stepping into the tribe, the smell of urine came out. There was a lot of feces on both sides of the dirt road that was trampled on, and many flies and insects crawled around. Fly away, Luo Zhen used a lot of strength to not let himself vomit out on the spot.
Looking at Lu Zhan next to him, the other party seemed to be accustomed to these things for a long time, and stepped forward without stopping. Luo Zhen could only follow carefully when he saw it, for fear that he would step on the feces without paying attention. I know that now he is walking barefoot, and only the waist is surrounded by an animal skin skirt.
Although the Panther Tribe is a tribe, it is more primitive than Luo Zhen imagined. The people here live in tents built with animal skins, which don't look very big from the outside, except for a tribute left in front. Outside the doorway for people to enter and exit, the surroundings are tightly enclosed. In addition, this place is open and there are no trees that can block the sun. It is conceivable how sultry it will be when the sun comes out during the day.
A thin boy who was knee-high, dirty, smelly, and still had a mucus came out from the tent, hugged Lu Zhan's thigh, and rubbed it. His hair was messy and long. Knowing how long it had been since she had been freshened, Luo Zhen could even see fleas active in her hair.
"Did your dad come back?" Lu Zhan took out a bright red fruit and handed it to the dirty child.
After getting the fruit, the dirty child opened his mouth and smiled happily. He stretched out his little finger that had long been unable to see the original skin color and pointed to the inside of the tribe, "Square, fight."
"The hunting team has returned?" Sure enough, a little time was wasted this time. According to his previous plan, he should rush back to the tribe before the hunting team returns. I hope no one will find that he has been away for so long.
The dirty kid didn't answer Lu Zhan's question, he had already eaten the fruit in his hand.
A roar like a wild beast came from not far away, and Luo Zhen was taken aback. Could there be wild beasts in this tribe? However, seeing Dirty Child and Lu Zhan both looked strange, thinking that even if a beast actually broke into the tribe, it shouldn't be too dangerous.
Although the dirty kid only said four words, Lu Zhan still guessed what the other party wanted to express. They walked in all the way and didn't see many people, and when the hunting team had returned, there were still people fighting in the square, so you don't need to guess. The only thing that is the most important thing for the warriors in the tribe is to * the fruit of the mother and child tree once a year.
Lu Zhan rubbed the dirty child's head and took Luo Zhen to the direction where the roar came from.
As he walked in, the voices became louder and louder. It sounded like they were cheering, but because there were too many voices, Luo Zhen did not hear what those people were shouting.
What came into view earlier than seeing people huddled together was that two huge black panthers two or three meters high were fighting in the open space surrounded by the crowd. When Luo Zhen and the two came over, the battle seemed to have just come to an end. With a flick of a black panther's long and powerful tail, it threw the other black panther on its back to the ground. The strong limbs firmly restrained the opponent, and the sharp teeth stopped at the opponent's throat, but there was no Bite down hard.
"The winner of this year is the black fire of the hunting team." As a strong male voice rang, the huge black panther released his grip and retreated to the side. The suppressed black panther got up from the ground with his tail pinched. After running into the crowd, the victorious Panther walked around the field with graceful steps, then opened his mouth and took a thin man out and threw it on his back. There was another deafening cheer in the crowd. sound.
Luo Zhen looked at the huge black panther curiously. With so many humans around, he didn't think the black panther was dangerous. Are all the beasts of this world that big? Is this tribe called the Black Panther Tribe because it has a good relationship with the Panthers?
While Luo Zhen was speculating wildly, he saw the huge black panther walking up to a middle-aged man with feathers on his head and a bundle of weeds tied to his arms. Its limbs were bent, and the person sitting on its back had just climbed down. , I saw the hair on the black panther slowly receding, and the shape of a person gradually appeared from the limbs. This process was very fast, and it was just a blink of an eye. The place where the huge black panther was originally standing has become naked. Man.
"The black fire of the Black Panther tribe, you are the bravest warrior of the tribe. This year's son and mother fruit should belong to you and your partner. The beast * bless you, and your children will come to our tribe in the next spring." The middle-aged wizard put his hand on the heads of the leopard male Heihuo and his partner. His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear his words clearly.
"He... how could he become a human being?" Amidst the bursts of cheers, Luo Zhen pinched himself to make sure that he was not dreaming.
Lu Zhan heard Luo Zhen's self-talk, glanced back at him, and explained in a low voice in his ear, "All warriors in the tribe can be animalized."
After seeing the battle, Lu Zhan stretched out his hand and took Luo Zhen to walk behind the crowd.
The sorcerer would take the winning warrior to pick the fruit, and the others had to deal with the prey brought back by the hunting team. The crowd on the square quickly dispersed.
Lu Zhan led Luo Zhen to the animal skin tent closest to the square. This tent was much larger than the other tents in the tribe. There were some bones and feathers hanging at the door for decoration, and people were surrounded by it. It was very clean, at least I didn't see feces everywhere.
The thick animal skin curtain was provoked by a wooden stick, and the light inside was not so good. Standing outside the door, he felt a sultry heat rushing toward his face. Lu Zhan greeted Luo Zhen to enter. There was only a strong middle-aged man inside, a man. His face is a bit square, with cyan tattoos on his left forehead, his upper body is pierced, a black animal skin skirt is around his waist, his bare feet are stained with dry and cracked mud, and he sits cross-legged on the ground.
"Boss." Lu Zhan slightly bent over and bowed to Heishan.
Heishan nodded slightly, but his eyes fell on Luo Zhen who came in from behind, and his black and thick eyebrows were slightly twisted, "Foreigner?"
Lu Zhan nodded and briefly recounted the story of meeting Luo Zhen. Even if the primitive society lives in a tribe, it does not mean security. The annexation between tribes, the attacks of beasts, and natural disasters are one of the reasons that make a tribe fall apart. Even the Black Panther tribe was more than ten years ago. He just moved here and settled here, so Black Mountain didn't have much doubt about the reasons Lu Zhan said.
"Want to stay in our tribe?" Heishan retracted his gaze and looked at Lu Zhan next to him, "Then is he the partner of your choice?"
"Of course not." Lu Zhan quickly denied: "My beastization ability is too weak, but I can't win the fruit of foreigners, and he is not going to be a member of our tribe."
Montenegro frowned even more tightly. "You should know that our tribe does not accept foreigners unless this foreigner wants to be one of us."
Lu Zhan pulled Luo Zhen and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, meaning that he had done his best. As for what Luo Zhen wanted to do, it was up to his own choice.
Luo Zhen stepped forward two steps, Black Mountain's gaze was too sharp, as if he wanted to see Luo Zhen through from the outside to the inside, and the other side's momentum was bloody, it seemed that the fighter who had just returned from the battle, let Luo Zhen Almost unable to look directly at him.
But Luo Zhen also knew that it was not the time to allow himself to counsel. He also understood that after listening all the way, the Black Panther Tribe does not entertain foreigners, unless the foreigner is willing to become a member of the Black Panther Tribe, or I am afraid that he now shakes his head and refuses. The opponent will be thrown out of the tribe in the next moment.
After seeing the huge mosasaur in the big lake and seeing the black panther turning into a human appearance, Luo Zhen also understood that this world is not as simple as he thought. If he is now driven out by the black panther tribe, can he see it? It's hard to say about the sun tomorrow.
"Chief, what if I want to join your tribe?"
Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows, and Black Mountain looked at him, "You decide to join our tribe?"
Luo Zhen thought for a while, and said honestly: "I have no other place to go. If I leave the Black Panther tribe, I am afraid I will die outside soon. If this is the case, it is better to stay."
Black Mountain's expression slowed down a bit, "Every foreigner who lives near our tribe will eventually choose to be a member of our tribe. Although our Black Panther tribe is not big, there are many warriors that can be transformed into beasts. Although the tribe cannot be guaranteed. There will be no danger of attack, but at least we can hunt for food for the winter. Even the elderly and children have never starved to death."
Heishan took Luo Zhen and Lu Zhan to a clearing outside where they were preparing to distribute their prey. There were a lot of people and the smell of blood was strong. In the clearing, there were piles of corpses of wild beasts as high as a hill. The beasts were strangely shaped. Zhen couldn't recognize what the beast was.
Several sturdy men were dividing the meat with stone knives. The stone knives were not sharp. Some bones, fur, etc. could not be cut by stone knives alone. One of them turned into a black panther with a height of more than two meters on the spot. With his mouth open, he abruptly tore the beast apart, and then let his companions share it with the people who were waiting on the side.
A few bare-bottomed hairy children ran happily on the blood-stained ground, accidentally fell down and rolled all over the mud, wiped it casually on the grass next to them, and continued to play. There was also a woman holding a child sitting next to him, and she didn't mind the eyes of others. She was breastfeeding the baby in her arms. The baby was wrapped in animal skins, and his body was dark and thin. Luo Zhen only glanced at it and retracted it in embarrassment. look.
Seeing that the leader brought a stranger over, the people on the clearing swiftly slowed down the movements in their hands, especially the single soldiers who had spread out and squatted and rested, all stood up, revealing their bodies intentionally or unintentionally. Muscles, looking at Luo Zhen's eyes are extremely hot. Everyone knows that the arrival of foreigners proves that one of them can be the partner of the other party.
"Boss." The man who turned into a black panther to help tear up the prey was transformed into a human again, walked to Heishan and saluted, but his eyes curiously looked at Luo Zhen, who was two steps behind Heishan.
Black Mountain nodded to him, but didn't mean to introduce him. Instead, he turned to Luo Zhen and said, "These are the best warriors in our tribe. You can choose someone to be your partner. Will guard you, be loyal to you, and make a partnership contract with you."
The words of Montenegro were over. Those single fighters who were interested in Luo Zhen all stepped forward. Some were excited and turned into beasts directly. Others saw the man scolded for being sly, and then quickly began to beasted, like a giant black panther. Appearing in front of Luo Zhen, the giant leopards also yelled up to the sky, wanting to let their future partners see their strong side.
But for Luo Zhen, a modern man who has never been to the zoo several times, this feeling of being surrounded by wild animals only makes him want to escape subconsciously. Probably because primitive people have no clean habits yet, the black panthers open up. After a big mouth roared, Luo Zhen stepped back a few steps due to a bad breath, and bumped into Lu Zhan who was holding a lot of fruits behind him to watch the excitement.
Luo Zhen laughed a few times, the expression on his face could be as reluctant as he could be. He looked at Black Mountain, "Do I have to choose a partner now?"
"Of course, the warriors are very satisfied with you. No matter who you choose, you can immediately become a member of our tribe." Hei Shan lowered his head slightly, Luo Zhen was shorter than him, and only then could he look straight into the other's eyes, "Could it be that Are you unwilling to join our Black Panther tribe?"
Luo Zhen shook his head quickly, "I just think I just came to your tribe, it seems that I don't need to be so anxious."
"We have no tents for foreigners to live in. Your partner will take you back to your common home."
"Only soldiers in our tribe have the ability to build houses." Lu Zhan behind him explained in a low voice, "After all, animal skins only belong to the warriors who have hit their prey."
A black panther standing next to Black Mountain seemed to see Luo Zhen's reluctance, and gently rubbed Luo Zhen's calf underneath his head.
Luo Zhen uncomfortably avoided the black panther's gestures. He looked around at the twenty-odd tall black panthers that surrounded him, aside from the fact that these people were all men, but their identity as a beast. Luo Zhen didn't want to challenge what it was like to be with a beast when he and the opponent were very different in strength.
"Are you also a fighter?" Luo Zhen asked Lu Zhan behind him. After spending so many days with the other party, if he wants to choose someone from this tribe, at least he wants to choose someone who is fairly familiar.
Lu Zhan didn't expect Luo Zhen to ask himself, the Black Mountain leader on one side had already answered for him, "Of course, A Zhan is also a single warrior of our tribe. If you choose him, you can also become a member of our tribe."
Luo Zhen was overjoyed, but Lu Zhan constricted his expression, "I am not a fighter, I am just a half-orc, I can't be beast, but I can't raise a partner."
"Orcs?"
"The half-orcs are also the warriors of our tribe. You brought Luo Zhen back to the tribe. You naturally have the opportunity to choose." Heishan didn't explain to Luo Zhen what the half-orcs meant. He gave Lu Zhan an unhappy look and said forcefully.
The other black panthers who were still expressing themselves heard the words, they all backed up a few steps, and no longer rushed towards Luo Zhen. Several black panthers even turned into humanoids and stood aside, a few small snots. The child sat on the ground, tilted his head and looked at one curiously. Although they still don't understand what's going on, every time the leader brings a stranger to everyone, it indicates that the stranger is going to Become one of them.
Lu Zhan was obviously not reluctant. He was not too old in the tribe, but it was already time to find a mate. Some fighters of his age were already the fathers of several children.
"A half-orc is a person who can't turn into a beast." Lu Zhan didn't want to deceive Luo Zhen. He stretched out his hand, his left hand was quickly covered with hair visible to the naked eye, and it turned into a huge beast claw, which only extended to the elbow. The place has not changed any more, and a pair of huge furry beast ears appeared on top of Lu Zhan's head. Unlike other people in the Black Panther tribe, Lu Zhan's hair is white, and there is only a handful of them at the tips of the ears. Black hair.
"You have seen it too. This is the limit of my beastization. I can't go out hunting. It's even a problem to feed myself. You can only go hungry if you follow me." The underlying meaning is obvious, let Luo Zhen not choose himself. One should choose a powerful warrior who can be completely beastly.
Luo Zhen obviously doesn't care whether Lu Zhan can be beasted or not. For him, Lu Zhan who cannot be beasted makes him more intimate than the orcs who can turn into giant black panthers in the blink of an eye. hunting? If this person didn't change his face and lied, if he hadn't seen him carry a beast back every day before, and he could run so far behind his back, maybe he would really believe it.
Seeing Lu Zhan's resistance, Luo Zhen was even more satisfied. After all, he didn't want to decide his life-long events in a different world in such a hurry. He just wanted to temporarily have a relatively safe place for him to settle down, and wait to understand later. After this world, he didn't even know whether he would leave the Black Panther tribe.
"It's okay, I don't dislike you, and I won't be animalized. I think we two are just right together." Luo Zhen held the other side's half animalized hand and winked at him, wanting the other party first. Promise it down.
Lu Zhan's eyelids twitched, and his eyes were full of disgust. Of course, he concealed it well, and no one saw it except Luo Zhen. Lu Zhan withdrew the hand held by Luo Zhen and shook it lightly. The beast claws quickly returned to the shape of a human hand.
Lu Zhan coughed lightly, and gathered the animal skins on his body. It was obviously a hot day. Others didn't seem to be surprised to see Lu Zhan dressed so tightly. "I'm not in good health, even my own food You need to exchange with the tribe, and in accordance with the tribe's regulations, if I can't win you the fruit of the child-mother tree within three years, you will still be driven out of the tribe." Lu Zhan seemed to be very low, and his voice fell a bit low when he spoke of it. .
The Black Mountain on one side frowned when he heard the words, but he did not interrupt the two of them. This rule has been handed down since the establishment of the Black Panther tribe. Even if he is the leader, there is no way to change it, but they There are not many people in the tribe. The fruit is ripened every year. Although it still needs to be contested, it is not too scarce. In the eyes of Heishan, Lu Zhan's worry is more like unconfidence. After all, his father is a foreigner. The tribe, and his father and father all abandoned him and left the tribe when he was young.
A young man named Ah Li walked up to Lu Zhan, patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder comfortingly, and smiled with his big white teeth, "Don't worry, there are a bunch of single orcs in our tribe, and now there are only black ones left. Yu also needs fruit and fruit. Maybe those of us will not find a partner within three years. Then you can get fruit and fruit without accepting the challenge."
"You can't find a partner." One of the orcs who was also single picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Ah Lie, and said with a smile, "Lu Zhan, don't worry, if you find a man to be your partner, next time The son-mother-fruit of Axie let Axue take the challenge on your behalf."
"Yes." Black Mountain nodded.
Affirmed by the leader, a bunch of single orcs roared away, and the black panthers who had maintained a beast shape also returned to human bodies, apparently acquiescing to Luo Zhen to choose Lu Zhan.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhan could only swallow the refusal, but he still said to Luo Zhen unwillingly, "I am very poor, the poorest person in the tribe, the one who can't eat meat for ten and a half months. "After all, he has grown up a long time ago, and his share of food can only be hunted by himself. If he can't join the hunting team and go hunting, he can only pick some fruits nearby and exchange meat with people in the tribe.
However, Luo Zhen didn't understand what Lu Zhan said about being poor. In his eyes, the entire Black Panther tribe was very poor, and on the way back, he actually saw several edible wild vegetables, so even He needs to find food by himself and he is not very worried about going hungry.
For him, the most important thing is to let him stay temporarily.
"It's okay, it's a big deal, I'll find food to support you."
Luo Zhen spoke arrogantly, but his words just fell off. The strong men standing around looked at Luo Zhen with eyes that looked at rare animals, and the scorching heat in his eyes almost turned into substance.
As soon as Luo Zhen appeared, they knew that the other party was an ordinary person who could not be beastized. This method of distinguishing seemed to be understood by every soldier, and men who could not be beastized were not much different from women in the eyes of these powerful warriors. Maybe their physical strength will be better than women, but they still can't deal with the beasts outside.
Coupled with the fact that their tribe has a child-mother tree, even men have the possibility of giving birth to life. In this world lacking women, powerful warriors don't mind whether their partners are men or women, or even between warriors. I really couldn't find the right person and made it together, but the stronger the fighter, the harder it is to conceive offspring, so generally choose a partner, and most fighters will first choose ordinary people who can't be beastized.
In the eyes of warriors, ordinary people have always been the existence that needs their careful protection. Have they ever heard an ordinary person say that they need to find food to raise warriors by themselves? Well, although Lu Zhan's identity is a bit special, as long as he is a fighter, he will not let his partner support him. That is a question of their strength.
Lu Zhan turned dark immediately. Of course, he wasn't angry at Luo Zhen, he was just speechless. Does this person still remember the situation where he was thrown into the big lake by his clansmen and could only wait to die on the water? Besides, Lu Zhan really wanted to ask someone who was able to scratch his feet by walking barefoot in the grass all the way back. How could this person be so confident that he could support himself. But when Luo Zhen said that, Lu Zhan, who had lived alone for more than ten years, couldn't help but look at each other more.
Ah Li slammed into the opponent's shoulder and whispered: "If you don't want to, I can pursue him. You know my strength, and I will definitely be able to raise him younger than now." He doesn't mind if it is himself. To feed a partner, it was still the partner who said he wanted to feed himself, and Luo Zhen was quite pleasing to his eyes.
Lu Zhan gave him an angry glance, and pulled Luo Zhen to his side, "Since he chose me, he will be my person from now on."
Ah Lie shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He was not obsessed with this foreigner. On the contrary, he was happy that Lu Zhan had a partner. He used to feel that Lu Zhan's feelings for the tribe were not too deep, so Ah Lie was always worried. Heavenly, he would leave the tribe without saying a word just like his father and father. Now that he has a partner, Lu Zhan would not have the idea of leaving the tribe anymore.
Heishan doesn't care who Luo Zhen chooses to be a warrior. For him as the leader, even foreigners, as long as they can give birth to children for their tribe's warriors, even if Lu Zhan is just a delicate half-orc, he His father and father are powerful warriors. If the offspring they conceive can inherit the abilities, they won't have to live in this remote corner of this rare prey tribe if they want to come to them.
Montenegro left after handling the matter.
The newly formed mate needs the help of the tribe's wizard to make the bond, but the black panther tribe's wizard has just taken the warrior who won the fruit of the fruit tree this year to pick the fruit of the fruit tree. It will take three days to come back, so Lu Zhan will hold it in his arms. After swapping a large piece of mutton with another soldier named horn bamboo, Zhuo Guo took Luo Zhen home.
Lu Zhan's animal skin tent is at the outermost edge of the tribe. It is not too close to the other people's tents. There is a cedar more than three meters high next to the tent. It's invisible to others if you don't pay attention, but if something goes wrong. People in the tribe can also quickly rush to the support position.
Luo Zhen doesn't know whether living on the edge of the tribe is good or bad, but at least he is satisfied with this place now. Perhaps it is because of the remote location. There is not much man-made dirt here, but there are too many weeds to step on. Unknown weeds grow stubbornly on the dirt roads up to the ankles.
The tent is broken and small, and the hides used to build it are not known when it was tanned. There is no beauty in it, but fortunately it is still strong.
There was a fire pond outside the tent, and the fire inside was naturally extinguished a long time ago. On the top of the fire pond, there were animal skins that were propped up, as if it were used to keep out the rain.
Lu Zhan inserted the piece of meat in his hand with the wooden sticks piled next to him, then put it on top of the firepit, found some hay and firewood, and returned to the tent to take out two stones and prepare to set the fire.
Seeing that Lu Zhan didn't speak, and didn't pay any attention to himself, Luo Zhen could only take the initiative to ask: "Can I go in and have a look?"
Seeing him pointing to the tent behind him, Lu Zhan inadvertently continued to hit with the stone in his hand, "This will be your home from now on, and I don't need my permission to enter my home."
Luo Zhen touched his nose when he heard the words, arched into the tent.
Perhaps because of a tall cedar tree growing next to it, most of the shadow fell on the tent. The temperature inside the tent was cooler than that in Montenegro, but because there was only one door in the vent, the sultry heat could still be felt.
The inside of the tent was very empty. There was a small slate bed. Several animal skins hung on the wall of the tent, the size of which was similar to the animal skin clothes and skirts that Lu Zhan usually wears. I think it should be the other party's clothes.
The soil on the ground was tamped specifically, but there were still tenacious weeds growing in the corners. Luo Zhen even saw a few insects crawling by his feet, not entering the small pile of stones piled in the corner. The stone was deliberately processed, and Luo Zhen picked it up and looked at it. It was a bit like a stone knife, with a sharp edge. Besides, the tent was so empty that there was no trace of life.
Luo Zhen turned around and went out of the tent again. Lu Zhan had already set the fire up, and when he saw him coming out, he beckoned him to sit next to him.
"I don't want a partner. You still have a chance to go back before the wizard returns." Lu Zhan said straightforwardly: "And as you can see, I don't have enough food stored here, and there is no prey to catch near the tribe. It's impossible for me to join the hunting team. If you still decide to stay, you can only solve your own ration problem before winter comes."
Lu Zhan looked at Luo Zhen's small body, and added not very optimistically, "Although the tribe will not let you starve to death, it will only keep you alive, but it does not guarantee that it will keep you full. Don't It seems that the hunting team came back after hunting a lot of prey. In fact, it is only food for about a month at most. Before winter comes, the tribe will conduct a large hunt.
Luo Zhen nodded. Although Lu Zhan's tone was not very good, he could still hear the caring behind the other person's voice. Perhaps it was because of the first person he knew in this world. Points of goodwill.
"Since you don't want a partner, let's cooperate."
"Cooperation?" Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows. Although it was the first time he heard this word, it did not prevent him from understanding the meaning.
Luo Zhen got closer and took the initiative to take over the task of turning the barbecue on the fire. "Yes, we can pretend to be partners first. Doesn't your tribe require you to eat those fruits and vegetables within three years? At least I You can stay in your tribe for three years. As for whether you want to eat the fruit and become a member of your tribe, that is not something that needs to be considered now."
Now that it's said, Luo Zhen doesn't want to hide it. Even though these people seem to be the most primitive savages, and they don't even have a few decent living utensils, Luo Zhen doesn't think these people are stupid, let alone Lu Zhan. In front of him and in front of the people in the tribe, there are clearly two faces. Although he doesn't know why the other party is doing this, Luo Zhen intuitively feels that it is the best choice to explain clearly to the other party now.
"Although you don't know why you didn't want to find a partner and why you agreed to choose me as a partner." Luo Zhen turned around, looked directly into Lu Zhan's eyes, and continued: "But obviously you want to use me to cover something, so you don't Don't mind letting me see the real side of you. If so, why don't we cooperate? You can use my identity to do what you want, and I can stay in your tribe and get shelter."
Lu Zhan was a bit surprised, but the astonishment on his face flashed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a rather pleasant smile. He never expected that this little guy who was picked up on a whim would have such a keen sense of touch, and he clearly led him. All behaved so well on the way back.
Lu Zhan stretched out his hand and rubbed the opponent's head. His hand had just touched the * raw meat. It was cleaning up the firepit and it was making a fire. It was not clean. It naturally made Luo Zhen greasy when he touched it, and the corners of Luo Zhen's mouth twitched. , But didn't dodge, but relaxed and released his favor to the other party.
"Since you have said so, then I promise to cooperate with you." Lu Zhan laughed twice and replied in a good mood: "However, the contract must be concluded first, but you can rest assured that I will treat you I will not touch you until you are not interested. If you want to leave, this contract will be considered invalid, and I will not hinder you from choosing someone else to be your partner. But I hope you can remember that all of this will be done before you leave the Panther Tribe. after that."
"Naturally." Luo Zhen didn't mind Lu Zhan's request. Even if he really wanted to find a local native to stay together, I'm afraid that would be a long, long time in the future.
The two initially reached a cooperative relationship, and confirmed some other requirements before the barbecue was completely cooked. For example, Lu Zhan would not restrict Luo Zhen's activities, but in front of others he could not reveal that Lu Zhan had enough power to hunt prey. Of course, Lu Zhan didn't mind Luo Zhen speaking out. After all, the whole tribe knew that he was a half-orc. No one would believe that Luo Zhen, a foreigner, said that half-orcs were powerful.
Secondly, in addition to the food provided to ordinary people in the tribe, Lu Zhan does not intend to be responsible for Luo Zhen's food needs. To fill his stomach, whether it is picking or hunting, Luo Zhen needs to do it himself, but Lu Zhan still I introduced Luo Zhen to several places suitable for ordinary people to pick wild fruits, but these places are outside the tribe and need a picking day organized by the tribe to go together. If you go alone, it is hard to say whether you can come back all the way. .
Again, during the period of their cooperation, Luo Zhen could not have any opinion on Lu Zhan's behavior. After all, in front of outsiders, he was still a fragile half-orc, and he might have had a "partner" because of the extra "partner". I have changed, but I don't want to change my way of life for the time being.
The two happily concluded the agreement, Luo Zhen felt very satisfied, and the next day was to slowly figure out the situation in the world and see if there was any way to make him go back.
The barbecue gave off a tempting fragrance. Luo Zhen had never eaten cooked food since he came to this world. At this moment, he almost smelled saliva.
When Lu Zhan saw this, he stopped talking, took out a specially left wild fruit from his arms and threw it to Luo Zhen, then took the stone knife and cut off the top piece of browned meat and handed it to the other party. He took a big portion of the blood-red meat that hadn't been fully cooked, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
It's just grilled with fire, and the lamb shank without any seasoning still smells of lamb, but this is already a rare delicacy for Luo Zhen, tear off a large piece of meat, and tolerate it before chewing twice. Can't help but swallow the belly, leaving a mouthful of meat smell.
"Do you have no salt here?" Lu Zhan didn't share much barbecue with himself, but it was enough for Luo Zhen to eat half full.
Although Luo Zhen ate in a hurry, he was reluctant to eat all the barbecue at the back. He could only chew slowly in small bites. By the way, he and Lu Zhan inquired about the situation in the Black Panther tribe. After all, it was no accident. He will stay in this tribe for a long time. Luo Zhen doesn't want to live like a savage man drinking blood like he did a few days ago. Now that he has a safe environment, he naturally has to change his quality of life.
"Salt?" Lu Zhan tilted his head slightly to look at him while holding the leg of lamb.
"It's salty things." Luo Zhen explained that he was afraid that the other party would not understand.
Lu Zhan naturally knows what salt is. The Black Panther tribe will send people to the Tiger Lion tribe to exchange things every few years. One of the things is the exchange of stone salt, but the stone salt will have a bitter taste when it is applied to the meat. Lu Zhan agrees. I don't like it very much, and the stone salt is precious. If he can't go hunting, he naturally doesn't have so many things to exchange for the stone salt. Even the small piece that the tribe gave him, he also gave him more horn bamboo.
"You want rock salt?"
"Do you?" There was a surprise in Luo Zhen's eyes. Before, he saw that Lu Zhan drank the blood of wild beasts directly. The blood was enough to replenish the salt in their bodies. He thought that these primitive people chose to go directly because they did not find salt. Drinking blood this way of eating.
Lu Zhan nodded, "The next spring the tribe will send people to exchange stone salt. Now even if there is still stone salt in the tribe, there shouldn't be much. If you need stone salt, it may take a lot of food to exchange it."
Luo Zhen was a bit disappointed. He now needs to rely on others to fill his stomach. Where can he get a lot of food to exchange for precious stone salt, he can only keep this in his heart in advance.
There is no entertainment in primitive society. After eating the barbecue and fruit that are barely a dinner, the sky is dark. When there is no sunshine, the tent is dark at once. Lu Zhan threw a few pieces of animal skins to Luo Zhen, and he crawled back there. He slept on the only stone bed.
Naturally, Luo Zhen would not grab the only stone bed with the other party, but with the light from the fire pit at the door, he casually paved a place to sleep with animal skins beside the stone bed.
Although there is no tool to measure the time, it was only about seven o'clock when it just fell dark. In the previous few days, even if Lu Zhan didn't need it, Luo Zhen would stay on guard for a while, so now Luo Zhen will be able to fix the bedding. I didn't feel sleepy.
Luo Zhen simply made a simple torch to clean up the bugs on the ground and the weeds in the corners of the tent. However, in the wilderness, in addition to those crawling on the ground, there are also a lot of flying mosquitoes. After wearing an animal skin skirt, I was bitten by mosquitoes several times within a short time, and several red and itchy bubbles appeared.
I don't know how Lu Zhan can sleep so peacefully in such an environment? After driving away several times and found to no avail, Luo Zhen was not afraid of heat, and directly wrapped a piece of animal skin on his body. Later, he discovered that the mosquitoes would be less only when he stayed by the fire, so Luo Zhen simply spread the animal skin. When you get to the edge of the firepit, you can have a good night's sleep.
Most of the fire ponds of the Panther Tribe were built outside the tents. In order to save firewood, the people in the tribe turned off the fire early after the meat was roasted and went back to sleep. For a while, only the cedar underneath the cedar still lighted up a little. The orange-red fire, accompanied by the undulating sound of insects around it, slowly extinguished until the sky became dark.
Lu Zhan woke up very early. As soon as he went out, he saw Tuanba Tuanba a sleeping man curled up by the fire. Perhaps because of the hot weather, the animal skins originally worn on his body were scattered aside, and the bare skin could be seen. The red spots, large and small, are particularly conspicuous on the delicate skin and tender flesh.
There are even two mosquitoes lying greedily on Luo Zhen's arms and sucking delicious blood, even if they know that someone is approaching, they have no intention of avoiding it.
Lu Zhan frowned and stretched out his hands to squeeze the two greedy mosquitoes to death one by one. The mosquito's belly was bulging. After being squeezed, two drops of bright red blood slid down Lu Zhan's thumb. It is conceivable that there were only these two. The little thing sucked as much of that person's blood.
Throwing the mosquito's corpse aside, Lu Zhan watched the blood on his fingers faintly for a while, suddenly leaned in to sniff it, then stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked it. The smell of fishy sweetness is usually the beast he drinks. Blood is very different, no wonder those little things like it.
He squeaked, and gathered the animal skins around him. Without waking Luo Zhen, he walked around to the forest behind him.
It wasn't until the sun pierced through the branches and leaves of the cedar and fell on Luo Zhen that Luo Zhen woke up, staying in a posture and sleeping for a long time, a little aches and pains on her body. In addition, she was tossed by various mosquitoes all night. The red bubble that came out of the bite was also disturbed by him, which was horrible.
Luo Zhen gritted his teeth and decided that today he must find some weeds that can repel mosquitoes, otherwise he wouldn't want to sleep well.
After getting up and moving his stiff body, he looked in the tent and found that Lu Zhan was not there. Because the two had discussed it yesterday, Luo Zhen didn't care too much. He just touched a little dry belly, remembering that from today. When I had to find a way to fill my stomach, I couldn't help but sighed.
Arrange the animal hides and put them aside. Lu Zhan has too few tools at home, and he doesn't even have water tools. Lu Zhan told him that there is a big river outside the tribe, and people in the tribe usually have to go to fetch water. It's just that the river is a little far away from the tribe, and occasionally large beasts will drink water nearby. Generally, the work of fetching water is left to the soldiers. Luo Zhen can only postpone the matter of fetching water first. When Lu Zhan comes back, let the other party take him.
The outside of the tent is full of knee-length wild grass. I ate barbecue last night. Even if I am hungry at the moment, Luo Zhen can bear it without a meal.
I cleaned up all the tents, and all the animal skins were moved out and spread on the weeds to dry. Just finished it, I saw a tall man walking towards him with a child, and the man was holding a small bag of animal skins in his hands. Something wrapped.
Luo Zhen simply wiped the mud from his hands with animal skins and stood up.
"My name is Horn Bamboo, and I live in that tent." Horn Bamboo handed Luo Zhen what was in his hand, then pointed to a tent not far from them and introduced him, but his eyes kept looking at Luo Zhen. , Saw the speckled red marks on the opponent's body, and squinted his eyes clearly.
"Hello." Luo Zhen was a little restrained, and didn't rush to open the thing after taking it over, "My name is Luo Zhen."
Jiaozhu nodded, "I know you. You are a foreigner who became A Zhan's partner yesterday." Jiaozhu did not go to the square yesterday. Later, when Lu Zhan exchanged wild fruits with him, he mentioned that this is still him and this. The first meeting of foreigners.
"I am also a foreigner." Kadotake explained, "The Black Panther Tribe is very good, and Ah Zhan is also very good. You can stay here with peace of mind."
Jiaozhu didn't talk much. After speaking, he nodded to Luo Zhen and planned to leave. The child he brought with him kept biting his fingers and looking at him curiously. Luo Zhen recognized the child. When Lu Zhan first came here yesterday, The child was divided into a wild fruit, but yesterday the child was all dirty, but was absent overnight. It was cleaned a lot, and it was obviously washed.
"If you need help, you can come to me. I will stay in the tribe until the next hunting." Kadotake turned around and confessed before leaving.
Luo Zhen thanked each other gratefully. After watching the freshman and the young one leave, Luo Zhen then opened the thing sent by the horn bamboo. Inside was a piece of fresh meat, much smaller than the mutton leg that Lu Zhan exchanged yesterday, but It's just based on Luo Zhen's food intake, this piece of meat is enough for him to eat for these two days.
Just thinking of Lu Zhan's appetite to eat a hog deer, I'm afraid the piece of meat in his hand is not enough for Lu Zhan's teeth.
But with this extra food, Luo Zhen was still very happy, and hurriedly walked to the fire pit, planning to roast the meat before filling his stomach.
Lu Zhan came back almost in the evening. When he returned, he carried a wild fruit with animal skins in his arms. Before he walked to his tent, he smelled a good smell from a distance.
"What are you doing?" Lu Zhan asked curiously, looking at the busy people squatting by the fire.
Luo Zhen raised his head and saw that it was Lu Zhan. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand. He cracked his mouth and smiled and said, "Are you back? Just ready to have dinner. You can wait a moment."
Lu Zhan looked at it. The crude firepit that was originally piled up with a few stones has now completely changed. A relatively flat stone has been built up. Firewood is burning underneath, and some pieces are chopped up on it. Meat and some weeds without a name. Luo Zhen was holding two wooden sticks and kept stirring, the good smell was just the meat.
Seeing Lu Zhan put the wild fruits aside, Luo Zhen saw the kind of green pear-like fruits that he had eaten before. This kind of fruit is full of moisture. Luo Zhen already knows that Lu Zhan uses these fruits as supplementing water. .
Luo Zhen was also welcome, picked up a green pear, made a few cuts on it with a stone knife, and then squeezed some of the juice from the fruit into the meat being stir-fried.
Except for the small half of the barbecue that he ate at noon, taking into account Lu Zhan's appetite, Luo Zhen chopped up all the remaining meat with a stone knife. The wild vegetables were picked by the side. Most of the plants here are known to Luo Zhen. All of them are a little different.
Luo Zhen didn't dare to pick these wild vegetables for consumption at first. When sorting out the weeds around the tent, he saw a fist-sized hare holding this wild vegetables to eat, and then he picked a little bit to ask the new neighbors. Zhu, made sure that these wild vegetables are not poisonous, so he dared to pick a little bit and stir fry together with the meat.
Lu Zhan was a little curious when he saw someone handling food like this for the first time, and he sat cross-legged across from Luo Zhen and watched him busy.
The slate is not big, and the meat and wild vegetables can only be stir-fried in several portions. Because there is no oil, the fried vegetables are a bit dry, but for the primitive people who have seen stir-fried vegetables for the first time, there is no comparison and they don't know the appearance Is it good?
Lu Zhan sat close, and the smell of meat kept rushing into his nose. He couldn't wait, he stretched out his hand and twisted a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
The sour and astringent taste of green pear juice mixed into the meat is not obvious. At first, Lu Zhan thought this kind of fried meat was a bit strange, but after two blows, it only felt very delicious. A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes also opened up. The biggest, looking at the fried meat on the stone slab with surprise, I want to continue.
Luo Zhen slapped the back of his hand amusedly with a wooden stick, and pulled all the wild vegetables on the slab onto the clean leaves that were prepared to serve as bowls, and handed the two wooden sticks used as chopsticks to each other. You take it and eat first."
Lu Zhan was not polite. He didn't know how to use the two wooden sticks and chopsticks, but since Luo Zhen gave it to him, he just held it in his hand and continued to twist the meat with his fingers before eating.
"How's it taste?" Luo Zhen had tasted it a long time ago. The taste is not very good, but it can still be tasted.
However, Lu Zhan had no time to answer him, his mouth was full of food. Lu Zhan's appearance is very good. Although the food with his hand and stuffing into his mouth is not elegant and fast, it is not ugly. Perhaps this is his unique appearance, even with such rude gestures. It will only make people feel pleasing to the eye.
After waiting until all the meat in his hand was eaten, Lu Zhan still gave his finger to his finger, and then he had time to answer Luo Zhen's question, "It's delicious. You will cook the food like this in the future. I can help you make the meat." come back."
Luo Zhen looked at the pickled wild vegetables on the leaves handed back by the other party, and couldn't help but smoked the corners of his mouth. Yesterday he said that regardless of his ration, he didn't expect that just a portion of wild vegetables and fried meat would change the other party. note.
"Then can you get me some water back?" Luo Zhen didn't mind eating all the wild vegetables left by Lu Zhan, and by the way, he would give him advice.
Lu Zhan nodded, stood up and turned around and left.
Luo Zhen didn't know what props the other party planned to use to bring the water back. After all the remaining meat and wild vegetables were fried, he left most of the meat to Lu Zhan, and he ate the rest, and finally After eating two wild fruits, I felt full.
Lu Zhan came back when Luo Zhen had cleaned everything up and the sky was dark. He waited until the other party returned to the fire pond before Luo Zhen could see what the other party used to hold water. It was a half-person tall. Lu Zhan's huge wooden stakes were hollow in the middle, and there was not much water spilling out of them when Lu Zhan rushed back all the way.
Seeing the clear water full of it, Luo Zhen was very happy. He hadn't taken a bath for several days. Although the water that Lu Zhan brought back was not enough for him to take a bath, at least he could wet the animal skin and wipe it well. Take a look at his body, he has lived so big, he hasn't really tried it when he is as dirty as he is now.
Lu Zhan didn't care what Luo Zhen used the water from that wooden stake. He happily ate the fried meat left by him and went back to sleep in the tent. Before leaving, he pulled out a small part of the charcoal from the fire pond. , Threw a small handful of weeds in.
As soon as the weeds fell on the red-hot charcoal, a large plume of smoke erupted, and the smoke quickly dissipated, leaving only a faint green grass fragrance.
"These weeds can repel mosquitoes, don't move him casually." Lu Zhan entered the tent after giving an explanation.
The tent has also changed. The weeds around the tent have been cleaned up, the large stones on the ground have been thrown out, and the soil seems to have been rammed again, and the animal skins placed under the stone bed have a good smell. The smell of sunlight, a small piece of stone was piled up in the corner of the doorway, and a torch was inserted. The light of the torch was a bit weak, but it was enough to illuminate the narrow space in the tent.
Lu Zhan's brows moved, but he didn't say anything. He climbed back to the stone bed and quickly fell asleep.
After having water, Luo Zhen simply cleaned it and replaced it with a fairly clean animal skin skirt. He planned to let Lu Zhan take himself to the big river tomorrow and take another good bath. Move the remaining wild fruits back to the tent and put them away. Today, there are weeds to repel mosquitoes. Luo Zhen does not need to sleep by the fire anymore, but lay down on the tanned animal skins and slept for a while. at night.
"Good morning." Luo Zhen woke up early the next morning, stretched his waist, turned his head and said hello to Lu Zhan who had just gotten up.
"Yeah." Lu Zhan nodded, he is not used to good morning with humanity yet.
For breakfast in the morning, only the wild fruits brought back by Lu Zhan yesterday. Luo Zhen washed all the wild fruits before wrapping them in leaves and handing them to Luo Zhen. While eating with chucks, he asked the other person, "Azhan, you can take me there. Is it by the big river?"
"Is there not enough water?" Lu Zhan looked at the wooden stake placed at the door, Luo Zhen used it very sparingly, and now there was more than half of the water in it.
"No, I just want to take a bath." Since he left on the deserted island, Luo Zhen hasn't taken a bath for almost a week. Even if there are no mosquito bites at night, he still feels itchy on his body. In a primitive society lacking medical care and medicine, Luo Zhen didn't want to get sick because he hadn't been clean for a long time.
Lu Zhan nodded, "Yes."
"Thank you."
After eating breakfast, the two set off. Luo Zhen took their animal skins with them. There were not many pieces in total, so they happened to wash them together.
People in the Black Panther tribe don't seem to have the habit of visiting and hanging out. After leaving the tribe, they can't see a few people, except for a few extremely fast small animals that occasionally stray in the grass. animal.
As soon as Lu Zhan left the range of the tribe, he took off the animal skins and put them on his shoulders casually. Luo Zhen noticed that his injuries had healed a long time ago, and he didn't even leave any scars. He secretly envied these primitives. A person's powerful healing ability, and then look at the traces of the mosquito bites that have not had time to fade away, and I feel that I have not obtained this powerful healing ability.
The big river is far away from the tribe, flowing down from Changfeng Mountain, across the entire southern foot plain, passing by their Black Panther tribe, but flowing into the big lake they had seen before.
Luo Zhen probably estimated the time it took them all the way down. It took at least two or three hours before they saw the big river. No one else was by the big river. People in the tribe are usually separated by several The genius will come out to fetch water once.
A few birds were standing by the river drinking water, and they seemed to feel the breath of Luo Zhen and they fluttered and flew with their wings flapping.
The river is more than ten meters wide, the current is not urgent, and there are no other animals except those birds.
Lu Zhan took Luo Zhen to the place where he usually fetched water. There was a small recessed beach, where a small pool was formed, and the water depth was relatively shallow, so there was no need to venture down the river.
"Don't move." Lu Zhan waved his hand to Luo Zhen, jumped into the small water pool and swam for a while, made sure that the dangerous fish did not run into the small water pool, then got up and walked aside. In the grass, he picked up a huge piece of wood that was already a bit rotten and threw it into the water inlet. Then he clapped his hands and said to Luo Zhen, "Now you can take a bath here."
"If you don't have me with you in the future, you don't want to come here casually." Lu Zhan glanced into Dahe and added another sentence.
Luo Zhen naturally wouldn't refute the other party on such matters. He nodded obediently, and saw that Lu Zhan jumped into the small water hole after giving an explanation, and then walked over slowly.
The water in the small water pool was a bit muddy by Lu Zhan, but Luo Zhen didn't mind, he reached out and explored the water. Even in the daytime, the water temperature was a bit low. Seeing that Lu Zhan stayed in the water comfortably , He couldn't wait, threw the animal skin skirt on his body, and jumped into the water with a "puff".
"Cool." Luo Zhen floated up from the water, wiped the drops of water on his face, and laughed.
Luo Zhen grinned at the figure in the water, no matter what he did, the fuzzy figure in the water followed suit.
The figure's hair was wetly attached to his face, and the smooth forehead exposed by the bangs that was pulled up had a shallow crescent-like scar. The scar was close to the hairline, and it was hard to see if you didn't pay attention.
Although it is only a reflection, the facial features can barely be distinguished. However, no matter how long Luo Zhen looks at, there is always a little difference between the familiar facial features and the self in memory, such as the scar on the forehead that shouldn't exist. For example, his facial features that are much more tender than the original, such as the thin face and the hair that is still messy even after washing.
This is not his body, at least not the body of his age when he crossed. Luo Zhen can be sure.
"Aren't you going back?" Lu Zhan had dried the drops of water on his body and put the animal skins back on his body. Seeing Luo Zhen still standing in the water in a daze, he couldn't help but remind him.
He didn't go hunting today, and he hasn't eaten anything other than the fruit in the morning. At this moment, he was hungry after soaking in the water for most of the day. He wanted to go to the big river to catch some fish to eat, but he didn't worry about Luo Zhen. People stay on the shore and can only give up. Moreover, the fish was very fishy and bony, and Lu Zhan didn't like the taste very much.
Luo Zhen came back to his senses. He is now sure that he has passed through. Although a little depressed, this pair may not be his original body, but he is unable to change this established fact. At least the appearance of this body is sevenfold from the original one. Eight-pointed like, Luo Zhen could only comfort himself like this.
The cleaned animal skins had not dried up yet, so it was a bit heavy to carry. Lu Zhan took it and took Luo Zhen to the tribe.
"Roar."
"Yeah."
A huge impact suddenly sounded from the small pool behind him, and the splashing water almost splashed on the two Luo Zhen who had just walked a few steps. Lu Zhan reacted quickly and threw Luo Zhen to the ground. Zhen only felt a huge shadow flying over his head, and also brought up a huge wind.
"Human face bird." Lu Zhan lowered his voice and said in Luo Zhen's ear.
Luo Zhen didn't understand what the human face bird was, but Lu Zhan didn't have time to explain to him, his brows were frowning tightly, and now it's just entering autumn, and it's not the season of human face bird activities, how can there be human face birds now? Is it here?
Lu Zhan didn't have time to think about it. He threw aside the animal skin jacket on his back and covered Luo Zhen's mouth to prevent him from screaming and attract the attention of the human face bird. Then he bowed his waist and slowly retreated under the cover of the half-human-height weeds around him. No matter why the human-faced bird appeared here, one thing is certain, the human-faced bird is too dangerous, and he didn't want the one beside him to become him. One day the partner's person becomes the food of the human face bird.
"Roar." The small pool was not deep. The giant beast that fell into the water jumped up and rushed towards the human-faced bird in the air. The human-faced bird's huge wings flapped, and a whirlwind drove the giant with its huge force. The beast slapped back to the ground again, and this time the giant beast happened to fall in front of Luo Zhen who were about to sneak away.
"Hehehehe." The cry of the human face bird is dark and sharp. It has good eyesight. It naturally saw the human hiding in the grass, but obviously it did not want to give up the giant beast, and saw the two humans together. Without turning into a beast and fleeing, he planned to subdue the beast first.
Only then did Luo Zhen see the look of the giant beast. It was a huge golden-brown lion. His fur was scratched by human-faced birds, and most of his hair was stained with blood. It mixed with the freshly contaminated water droplets and dripped to the ground. On the ground.
There is a complicated beast pattern between the giant lion's forehead, which is a sign that distinguishes it from those ordinary beasts and lions that are not enlightened at all, but Luo Zhen still can't tell the difference between an orc and an ordinary beast at this time, even if he has seen it. The people in the Black Panther tribe were transformed, but he couldn't think for a moment that the giant lion in front of him might be an orc.
On the contrary, Lu Zhan by his side could see the identity of the giant lion at a glance. He pointed to the direction of the tribe and shouted to the giant lion: "Run forward, there is our tribe."
When the giant lion heard Lu Zhan's shout, he rolled and got up, not in love with a fight. With a flick of his tail, he rolled up a large amount of weeds and threw it into the air, then turned and ran in the direction Lu Zhan pointed.
Human Face Bird obviously did not expect that the giant lion that was severely injured by itself would have such explosive power. Throwing away the unattended weeds, only one back of the giant lion was left, at the speed of Human Face Bird. It is not difficult to catch up, but there are also two orcs here, one of them exudes a smell that is even more fragrant than a giant lion, and the human face bird is really reluctant to just leave these two people and continue to chase the giant lion.
After some weighing, the human face screamed, turned around and rushed towards Luo Zhen.
Lu Zhan guarded Luo Zhen behind him, his eyes fixed on the human-faced bird in the sky, his muscles were tight, and now he didn't wait for the giant lion to go far, his slender feet were quickly covered. With the silver scales, one hand has been beasted, and the other hand has remained unchanged, but the fingernails of the fingers have grown rapidly, and they are almost as long as a finger, and the animal ears on the head have also appeared, standing upright. The whole person's momentum has changed.
"Remember to run into the tribe for a while. The human face bird will not enter the orc tribe alone. You will be safe when you run into the tribe." Lu Zhan licked the corner of his lips, not forgetting to confess to Luo Zhen.
The human face bird is very powerful, but Lu Zhan has never faced the human face bird head-on. He doesn't know if he can handle it, but since he is stared at by the human face bird, he can't retreat, and he can't retreat, the human face bird. Can not easily give up their prey.
"Hehehe." The hook of the human face bird opened, revealing a row of sharp white teeth, a pair of eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the expressions of the two thin orcs on the ground with ambition.
Lu Zhan didn't wait for the human-face bird to pounce, and his feet bounced at one point on the ground. His jumping ability was so good that he jumped directly onto the human-face bird's head, but the human-face bird was very fast. Suddenly a burst of flame came out from inside.
Lu Zhan couldn't avoid it in midair. Fortunately, he was still wearing animal skins, and the flames passed in front of him, burning a layer of animal hair.
"Hehehehe." The Human Face Bird stood up and flew high into the sky, making a oozing cry while hovering in the air.
Although it was only a round of contest, one person and one bird did not exert their full strength, but the human face bird could still feel the power of Lu Zhan, and it even uttered, "Hehehehe, powerful orc, eat it, eat it. , Ah ha ha ha ha."
Luo Zhen didn't want to hold back Lu Zhan. He knew his abilities well. When Lu Zhan faced the human face to the bird, he quickly got up from the ground and ran in the direction of the tribe.
It's a bad thing because people from the Black Panther tribe would come to the big river to fetch water, and have long walked out of a dirt road. Even though this dirt road is still potholes, it is at least much faster than running in the grass.
Although the human face bird prefers the taste of Lu Zhan, it also doesn't want to let Luo Zhen this prey away. Luo Zhen ran a few hundred meters, and suddenly a huge wind blew behind him, and the huge bird passed over Luo Zhen's head and landed firmly in front of Luo Zhen.
The human face bird has dark hair and no gloss. Except for a human face, a long hair hangs straight to the chest. Its claws are golden yellow and very sharp. It is just standing on the ground, and most of the claws are not in the mud. in. The human face bird has a very long neck. When looking at people, he likes to tilt his head and look at it. It stands up to a height of more than two meters. Luo Zhen needs to raise his head if he wants to look at each other.
If you look at the face alone, the facial features of the human face bird look very beautiful, even a bit charming. There are two layers of brightly colored patterns under its eyes, which are a bit like painted paint, but Luo Zhen inexplicably thinks that it should be. Naturally grown.
"Hehehe." The bird's eyebrows and eyebrows were bent on the human face, and its beak opened its beak and screamed to Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen had never seen such a strange and dangerous fierce bird. It was obvious that the expression on the face of the bird seemed to be laughing, but he stood upside down all over his body, and wanted to change the direction to escape as soon as he turned around.
It is impossible for him to beat the human face bird, and being stared at by the human face bird is only a dead end. Luo Zhen knew the current situation very well, but he didn't want to die, so he had to escape.
"Don't change direction, keep running in the direction of the tribe."
Lu Zhan, who was behind, had already caught up. He just rushed past Luo Zhen and greeted the human face bird. When the human face bird saw Lu Zhan coming, his wings shook and flew again. A pair of claws also brought up a pile of dirt. Luo Zhen's face was spilt.
But at this time Luo Zhen couldn't take care of this much, and ran in the direction of the tribe without looking back at Lu Zhan's words.
There were loud noises behind him, and it was obvious that Lu Zhan had already fought with the human face bird.
The human face bird has wings and is fast. It has to deal with Lu Zhan, who is not as strong as he can't fly. It's just like playing with fun. It's also fortunate that Lu Zhan often goes to the desert island to find various big fish to fight, although his strength is not as good as that. The human face bird, but the victory lies in his agility, he really dragged the human face bird for a while, and bought Luo Zhen time to escape.
Even though Luo Zhen has used his best to run, his speed is not as fast as the orcs. Only halfway through the race, he noticed that there were a lot of black figures coming from the direction of the tribe. He fixed his eyes and found that it turned out to be. There were a dozen huge black panthers, and among the black panthers, it was the giant lion that had just escaped ahead of time.
Heishan naturally saw Luo Zhen early in the morning, and when he ran to Luo Zhen, he turned back into a human form, "Go back to the tribe and stay, don't come out, we will save A Zhan back."
After speaking, he kept walking and turned into a leopard body again, catching up with the companion in front of him.
Luo Zhen ran out of breath, but he didn't dare to stay, so he could only continue to flee in the direction of the tribe.
Behind him, the strange screams of the human-faced birds that can penetrate the eardrums and the huge roars of wild beasts are heard. With Black Mountain and the others, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Lu Zhan, right?
