Savage Tribe Survival

Lu Zhan also stretched out his hand and broke off a banana fruit. Unfortunately, the one he broke was still blue, the skin was hard to peel, and the flesh was bitter and astringent. After taking a bite, his brows could not help but frown together. Disgusted face.

Luo Zhen looked funny, and stuffed the half-eaten banana fruit in his hand to the other party. Lu Zhan didn't dislike it. He took a big mouthful as if he had eaten the rest of the fruit, and his cheeks were bulging. He inarticulately commented, "Sweet."

Another reason why Luo Zhen chose to go out in the middle of summer is that most of the wild fruits are ripe at this time, which can greatly reduce the chances of them bringing back some abandoned plants. As long as they see the fruits, they can know these things Can it be eaten.

"What's the matter?" Knowing that the fruit with yellow skin tastes sweet, Lu Zhan went to another banana tree to break a few and came back, only to see Luo Zhen squatting on the ground facing a small banana tree. Miao sighed, feeling a little puzzled. "Aren't you happy that there are so many wild fruits here?"

Luo Zhen shook her head, "We can't take these banana trees away."

Their trip to the sea this time took a very long time. Although the road they chose is the safest one, it is not the only one. Luo Zhen is not sure whether they will return along the road when they return. So whenever Luo Zhen finds a plant that interests him, Luo Zhen will first dry and store the roots or seeds of the plant.

There is a large wooden box on the back of Chasing the Wind, which is specially used to store these things.

"Why? Aren't these wild fruits already ripe? Can't we just take the seeds away?" Now Lu Zhan is also familiar with Luo Zhen's process of picking plants. Luo Zhen who has seeds usually only brings seeds, and those who don't have seeds He will dig up the whole plant, remove the branches and leaves, and keep only the roots. With Luo Zhen's current ability, and with the assistance of Tai Sui and Jingguo, he can completely replant these roots.

"These banana trees have no seeds at all, and their seedlings are really too big." Luo Zhen patted the green leaves of the banana seedlings regretfully. Such big banana seedlings really take up too much space. Fengshan, it is not cost-effective to bring such a seedling.

"Then we can just dig a few more when we come back." Lu Zhan said indifferently.

He threw away the banana peel that he had already eaten, and peeled another one. Maybe it was because of the hot weather, or maybe it was because he had been running with Luo Zhen on his back all day. He was already hungry. Lu Zhan, who has no interest in wild fruits, thinks that this kind of waxy banana fruit tastes good.

"That's the only way to go." Luo Zhen drew out the bone knife, intending to cut up a few bananas that had grown to almost the same size and take them away. The resentment for not being able to take away the seedlings could only be made up for by eating enough this time Well, as for whether you can turn back to this place on the return trip, it can only depend on fate.

"Yo Yo." Chasing the wind anxiously opened his mouth and tugged at the corner of Luo Zhen's clothes. It didn't like the smell of banana peels, but it didn't have hands, so it couldn't peel the banana peels off, so it could only urge Luo Zhen to feed it. .

Seeing this, Zhe Er next to him spit out the banana peel on Zhuifeng's face, full of contempt for the other party's coquettish behavior, Zhui Feng raised his hoof angrily and kicked Zhe Er, causing a heavy lump in his nose. He let out two puffs of air, saw that Luo Zhen had already peeled a ripe banana fruit and brought it to its mouth, and proudly rolled his ears, and with one big mouthful, rolled the whole banana flesh into it. In his mouth, the sweet banana meat made him squint his eyes happily.

"Don't eat too much, be careful that your stomach will feel uncomfortable." Luo Zhen only fed a few and was unwilling to feed Zhuifeng again. She sent it to graze, watched the sky, and was worried about Shan Qi and the two who went hunting. When they came back, they found that they would be worried if they didn't see each other, so they walked back with Lu Zhan each carrying a few bananas.

Luo Zhen picked the bananas very skillfully. Apart from those ripe and yellow ones that could be eaten immediately, there were also some with just a little yellow skin on the skin, and the rest were still with green skin. After eating thoroughly, the rest is just ready to eat.

Moreover, after the banana fruit is cut and stored for two days, it will taste less astringent than eating it directly from the tree. Even if the variety they found is already sweet enough, the taste will not be bad after two days , maybe even better.

When the two came back with the antler horses, Shan Qi and Ah Qing had already returned from hunting.

"Big witch, leader, where have you been?" Ah Qing saw the two of them coming back carrying a large pile of wild fruits, and quickly went up to take the wild fruits from Luo Zhen's hand.

"We found a banana grove. These bananas are delicious. You and Shan Qi will try them later." Luo Zhen was in a good mood after finding such a large pile of bananas.

Shan Qi hunted back three pheasants this time, and a fat hare. The hare had been skinned and cleaned in advance, and the pheasant had only taken out the internal organs. It was difficult to remove the hair without hot water, so he planned to bring it back. deal with.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen simply dug a few pieces of mud at the entrance of the cave and went back, and used the mud to build a simple small stove. When he went out, the dried wild mushroom soup was already fragrant. Put the water in the earthenware pot, intending to boil the water to remove the hair of the pheasant.

Luo Zhen brought a lot of sauces when she came out this time. Except for those powdery seasonings, other jams can't be stored for too long. After covering the rabbits with the sauces, put them directly on the fire to roast, surrounded by smelly grass Well, the smell of stinky grass is disgusted by many animals, so they don't need to worry that predators will smell the smell of roasted rabbits and come here.

Before dealing with the pheasants, Luo Zhen asked Lu Zhan to go back to the banana grove and peel some banana leaves. The banana leaves were not small and could easily cover the whole pheasant.

Luo Zhen first marinated the cleaned pheasant with jam for a while. Naturally, the pheasant feathers will not be wasted. She found a fairly flat place at the entrance of the cave and put the chicken feathers on it to dry. She will collect them before leaving tomorrow. Just go.

Cut up two roasted rabbit legs to feed the flame ants, the remaining rabbit meat is naturally not enough for four people, but after eating a pot of wild mushroom meat jerky soup, plus a few powdered bananas, the stomachs of the few people are not too hungry , Luo Zhen sent the three of them to sleep for a while, and let them get up to eat after he finished the pheasant.

Now it's completely dark outside, and the insects and beasts in the forest have begun to scream. The forest at night is obviously much more lively than during the day, and the flame ants are scattered around the cave to guard in batches. Don't worry about being overwhelmed by wild animals attacking them.The flame ants' perception of danger was no worse than that of the orc warriors, and the other three knew this too. Knowing that Luo Zhen had slept on Lu Zhan's back all day today, they were not polite, and each found a place to lie down on the spot. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

They haven't closed their eyes for two days and one night in a row, and they have to raise their energy to be alert to the dangers around them at any time. Both mentally and physically/physically, they have accumulated a certain degree of fatigue.

Zhuifeng's antler horses lost the energy they had in the banana grove just now, and now they huddled together and fell asleep. Zhuifeng even let out a few small snores. It looked like they were really exhausted .Since coming to the Sunshine Tribe, although these antler horses usually go hunting with the orc warriors, even if they don’t go out, they will run in the basin, but the people in the tribe take good care of them, and the antler horses have not been seen for a long time. I have tried running with such a high intensity for two consecutive days and one night.This kind of day was probably only encountered when I was hunted down by predators when I sneaked out to look for food in winter a few years ago.

Although the antler horses didn't complain to Luo Zhen, Luo Zhen still felt a little distressed seeing them exhausted.

Putting a bamboo tube specially used for boiling water by the fire, Luo Zhen stuffed a small handful of pine needles picked on the road into it, then took away the pottery pot, and stuffed the pheasant tightly wrapped in banana leaves into the tube. In a simple earthen stove, then cover it with the remaining soil.

The clay stove was too small, so it could only be roasted in batches. A pheasant was pressed into it, and the charcoal fire inside was suppressed a little. Luo Zhen lit a smaller fire next to it for lighting, and then put it into the fire Throw a small handful of ghost needles to drive away the mosquitoes around.

Because of the location, the moonlight lazily shone into the cave, casting a large shadow. Luo Zhen was not idle, took out a small notebook from her backpack, and recorded all the plants encountered today, and then On the small map on the last page, I drew the route I passed today and marked the location of the banana forest.

In the primitive mountain forest, Luo Zhen's map drawn entirely based on impressions is actually useless. After all, there are no distinctive signs in the mountain forest that can be used as references. Even the animal ways are messy. Usually, when they encountered a place overgrown with weeds, they could only open the way directly. If there were no signs left by the former orc warriors, they might not be able to find the right direction.

If Luo Zhen's map is to work, it can only be distinguished by the signs drawn on tall trees and some rocky mountain walls.

The following days were relatively calm. Luo Zhen didn't find any wild fruit forests like the banana forest before, but along the way he found a kind of beans similar to soybeans, as well as wild chestnut trees and so on. , a lot of harvest.

Of course, they are not always safe. The most dangerous time was when they encountered a short-faced bear. The short-faced bear is a beast, but it can single out the existence of the entire dire wolf pack. One can imagine how powerful it is. Even Lu Zhan was forced to turn into a beast by the opponent, and finally wiped out with the cooperation of Lu Yi'a Si.

Even Lu Zhan, who seldom gets injured while hunting, has failed this time. According to their current speed, they may not be able to make it to the next rest point before dark. For safety, the last few people decided to go Return to the place where they rested last night to treat the wound.

The resting point this time is a tree hole. The tree hole is not big, and the stag antlers can't squeeze in, but the tree they live in is strong enough, and the thickest branch is wide enough for Luo Zhen to lay down and fight. A roll.

Although Lu Zhan had a lot of blood on his body, the wound was not serious, and the scab should heal after a few days of rest after applying thistle to stop the bleeding.Shan Qi sprinkled some crushed stinky grass juice around, covering up the bloody smell of the short-faced bear.

When Ah Qing was slapped flying by the short-faced bear, he hit a tree trunk and got a big bruise on his back. At first glance, it looked more terrifying than the scratch on Lu Zhan's body, but it didn't hurt the bones. Just rub some herbal medicine to dispel the congestion.

Although there was a little bruise on Shan Qi's arm, it was not a hindrance. Relatively speaking, Luo Zhen, who was best protected by the three of them, did not suffer any damage except for the loss of a few arrows.

After treating the wounds of the three of them, Luo Zhen looked at the short-faced bear as tall as a hill at the entrance of the tree hole, and decided to cook them a feast of bear meat. This kind of beast meat full of energy cannot be wasted in vain .

"This fierce beast seems to have fought with orc warriors before." Luo Zhen pulled out the arrow on the short-faced bear's back. Although this guy looks bulky, his movements are very flexible. It's not so easy, and the short-faced bear has thick skin and thick flesh. This kind of bone arrow can cause limited damage to it. As long as the short-faced bear is not anesthetized with special arrows, it will be difficult for Luo Zhen to bring it down.

"Is this wound caused by claws?" Ah Qing covered her waist and leaned over to have a look. In the direction where the arrow hit, there was a blood-stained scar that was almost visible to the bone. A scratch, but beneath the scratch, there was clearly an old wound.

The wound doesn't look like a claw, but more like being wounded by some kind of sharp weapon, but metal has never appeared in this world, and even the weapons that the Sun Yao tribe can use now are only made of various bones Yes, in such a deep mountain and dense forest, is it possible for a ferocious short-faced bear to be scratched by some unknown sharp weapon?

"Dug out its heart." Lu Zhan didn't care whether the short-faced bear was injured before. He licked his lips, obviously more concerned about whether the short-faced bear's heart worked or not.

Hearing this, Shan Qi stepped forward, and the half-beast developed claws. Although his claws are not suitable for fighting, they are much better than bone knives when it comes to disemboweling prey.

It has to be said that the short-faced bear is indeed a powerful beast. Even though it was dead, Shanqi still spent a lot of effort to cut its fur, and when it broke its flesh to dig out its heart, it A lot of effort.

"The number of such beasts is too small. I guess they won't hunt and kill the same kind if they meet them." Lu Zhan only took one look, then shook his head regretfully at Luo Zhen. Zhan has no effect, but it still has some effect on Ah Qing, who is the weakest.

Ah Qing embarrassedly disturbed the back of her head, saw that Lu Zhan gave him the heart to eat, and secretly glanced at Shan Qi.

Shan Qi stuffed the heart of the short-faced bear into Ah Qing's hand with a smile on his face. Even though his body was as huge as a hill, the heart of the short-faced bear was still only the size of a child's fist, and Ah Qing could swallow it in a few mouthfuls. It was eaten up.

Because they chose to bring Shan Qi and Ah Qing out, Lu Zhan and the two did not hide their secrets about the hearts of the beasts, so Shan Qi and the two also knew what the hearts of these beasts are useful for. The two of them have no opinion on who to eat. Staying in the same tribe, the relationship between the two has long been as close as brothers. They also understand that only when everyone's strength improves can they better protect the tribe.

So Shan Qi didn't have any dissatisfaction with Lu Zhan giving Ah Qing the heart of the short-faced bear. Among the three of them, it is indeed Ah Qing who should improve his strength now.

Luo Zhen found a fairly flat stone slab, sliced ​​the meat of the short-faced bear into thin slices, and made fried meat for them. Ah Qing could only drool at the fragrant meat because he ate a heart that contained a lot of energy. , but cannot eat.

His stomach is too full now, I'm afraid such a heart is enough for him to digest for two or three days, if he eats the meat of the short-faced bear again, he may either burst his stomach or spit it out directly.In order to keep herself away from this craving smell, and to digest the energy she had just taken, Ah Qing supported her bruised lower back, carried several water bags on her back, and ran to fetch water.

There is a lot of food today, Luo Zhen let go of eating for the flame ants, the flame ants without restrictions actually ate one-third of the short-faced bear meat, Luo Zhen couldn't fry the meat as fast as they ate In the end, I just roast them and eat them directly. Fortunately, the flame ants are not as picky as Lu Zhan. As long as they are fed by Luo Zhen, no matter what they will not dislike.

"Should we rush to the next rest point tomorrow?" Shan Qi helped Luo Zhen, and Luo Zhen poured a cup of pine needle tea to relieve the tiredness of the two.

After eating the grilled and fried meat, the remaining meat was cut into strips and simply smoked and dried by the fire. If the weather is not good, the raw meat will soon go bad and cannot be eaten.

"You are all injured, let's take another day off before starting, we are not in a hurry." Luo Zhen suggested.

Lu Zhan thought for a while and nodded, "This area should be the territory of the short-faced bear. There should be no other large beasts around. Now that the short-faced bear is dead, this place is much safer than other places. Wait Let’s go after recovering from the injury.”

What Lu Zhan injured was his back and his right hand. Although his usual movements would not have much impact, he would suffer a lot if he met another ferocious beast like a short-faced bear, just like Luo As Zhen said, they are not in a hurry to go to the opposite side of Changfeng Mountain. Once they continue on their way, I am afraid that the wounds on their bodies will take a few more days to heal, so they might as well stay here to cultivate for a few days first.

Since they set off in the tribe, they haven't stopped to rest well, and it has been more than half a month since they counted.

After confirming, Shan Qi moved their luggage to the highest branch for storage.

"Do you want to eat some Tai Sui?" Luo Zhen asked worriedly seeing Lu Zhan frowning tightly, thinking that the other party was in pain from the wound.

Lu Zhan came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, thought for a while, and then asked the question in his heart: "Do you think that this short-faced bear is coming specifically for us?"

Luo Zhen was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it going to hunt us?" Predators want to hunt their prey, so they naturally go after their prey.

Lu Zhan pointed to a few antler horses that were gnawing on weeds next to them, "For these fierce beasts, the obviously large antler horses with little fighting power should be their hunting targets."

After being reminded by Lu Zhan, Luo Zhen suddenly came to his senses. The short-faced bear was aimed at him at first. If Lu Yi and Ah Si hadn't found out that something was wrong, they would have warned Luo Zhen in advance, so that Luo Zhen would have a chance. He was prepared, and Lu Zhan stood in front of him, otherwise the scratch that fell on Lu Zhan's arm would fall directly on Luo Zhen's face.

Later, even though the short-faced bear was blocked by Lu Zhan, the short-faced bear still clamored to pounce on Luo Zhen. At first, Luo Zhen thought it was the arrow she shot on the opponent's back that angered him, but later found that she The strength of the short-faced bear can't cause too much damage to the short-faced bear, and the other three orc warriors have all turned into beasts and fought with the short-faced bear, so Luo Zhen hid a little away so as not to interfere with Lu Zhan's battle. He ordered Lu Yi and Ah Si to go up and help, while the other flame ants were scattered around, and once the short-faced bear made other moves, they would come forward and attack.

However, Lu Zhan, who was confronting the short-faced bear head-on, knew better who the short-faced bear's target was, and the short-faced bear had obviously entered a berserk state before attacking them, rather than saying that its target was them A few humans, it would be more accurate to say that the short-faced bear's goal from beginning to end was Luo Zhen.

And what is the difference between Luo Zhen and them?The identity of ordinary people?Or a wizard?Could the short-faced bear be able to distinguish the life energy in Luo Zhen's body?That's why Luo Zhen was considered a target?

Lu Zhan frowned tightly, no matter which guess it was, he was not happy to see it.
