Savage Tribe Survival

Antler horses naturally do not reject being used as mounts by humans. Although stag antler horses have no fighting ability, they are very powerful and can hold things that are several times their own body weight. Moreover, their running and jumping abilities are very strong. Some even orcs It is not necessarily possible to climb the cliffs, but the stag antlers can walk on the ground.

When hearing Luo Zhen's conditions, the huge antler horse thought that the other party was joking. As long as they put in a little effort from the antler horse clan, they can exchange for shelter and food from humans. There is nothing better than this something happened.

This is also because Luo Zhen lives in a different environment, so she thinks that her proposal is taking advantage of the antler horse clan. As for starving and freezing, it is the task of each leader.

However, the huge antler horse probably lived too long and has a cautious temper. It is impossible for it to immediately move all the horses to the human tribe because Luo Zhen's conditions are full of temptations, and Luo Zhen and the others just now Moving here, many things have not been taken care of, and there is not even enough food for winter, so how can there be enough forage to feed such a large herd of stag antlers?

Maybe it was because of the other half of Lu Zhan's blood, or maybe Luo Zhen's request made the giant antler horse too excited. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement, but it is cold winter now. In the case of the human tribe, the contact time between the two races can be set at the beginning of spring, and the human tribe will provide them with sufficient food and shelter in the winter of the next year.

However, the huge antler horse let Luo Zhen use the pool water first, "I hope you will not break your promise."

"Of course." Lu Zhan solemnly promised that he didn't want to miss this opportunity to use the pool water, and he didn't bother to deceive this ancient group for the power of the pool water. Don't think that the antler horse clan is not as good as the next generation, but He was sure that their entire tribe could be easily crushed to death by a single giant stag-horse.

"Come down." The huge antler horse looked at Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen really wanted to ask Lu Zhan what the effects of these pools of water were, but Lu Zhan seemed to know the doubt in the opponent's eyes, so he just gently reached out and squeezed the opponent's palm, and looked at Luo Zhen from an angle that the huge antler horse could not see. Blinking her eyes, Luo Zhen could only suppress her doubts first.

The pool water was a bit icy, so Lu Zhan took off the heavy animal skin coat on the opponent's body, leaving only a thin layer inside. He was not able to stand on the water like the giant stag horse and Lu Zhan. Once Lu Zhan let go, he It just fell into the water.

Fortunately, the depth of the pool here is only up to Luo Zhen's neck, so it won't submerge him completely.

But the pool water was too cold, as if it was going to freeze his blood, Luo Zhen's face turned pale visibly, and his teeth couldn't help shivering, "Lu...Lu ... Zhan." Luo Zhen looked at the man beside him.

Lu Zhan patted his head lightly to comfort him, and then returned to the pool. The huge antler horse lowered its head and touched Lu Zhan lightly with its antlers. Fluorescence flew up from the antlers and landed on Luo Zhen's body. The fireflies that seemed to be stagnant in mid-air also began to dance. They flew up and down, from the stag antler horse to the pool, and after a circle, one of them fell on the water surface, causing a little water ripple. It will disappear soon.

At first it was one, followed by the second, and the third. The pool water seemed to absorb the fluorescent light, and it became brighter little by little. With the brightened pool water, Luo Zhen finally felt a little warmth, and they melted together. Enter the body, blend into the blood, dispel the cold inside little by little, and gradually calm down the restlessness in my heart.

I don't know if it's Luo Zhen's illusion. It seems that there is something talking in his ear, but he has never heard that language before. He just thinks it is very pleasant. It is just an ordinary tone, but it is like the sound of nature. Luo Zhen's lips The horns couldn't help but slightly raised, the eyes closed unconsciously, and the ears caught the source of the voices, as if they wanted to listen carefully.

I don't know how long it took, when Luo Zhen opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, he had already left the center of the pool, and at some point came to the tall willow tree in the middle of the pool. The roots of the willow tree were thick and deep. Diving into the surrounding water, half of Luo Zhen's body was lying on the root of the tree, and half of her body was still buried in the pool.

"woke up?"

Luo Zhen raised his head and saw a huge stag antler lying not far away, looking at him steadily. Only then did he realize that the other's eyes were the same kind of fluorescent green as the fluorescent one he saw last night, like a pool of water. An invisible deep lake.

"Where's Lu Zhan?" Luo Zhen glanced around. The other antler horses by the pool had left at some point, and the glowing fireflies had disappeared. Even Lu Zhan was gone. He sat up straight, But after soaking in the pool water all night, his body was a little soft, and he fell back quickly.

"I went to play with my children. He said that to be his mount, he had to go through his selection." The breath of the huge stag antler was not as good as last night, but the words he said were very gentle and comforting The role of the human heart. "Of course, if they are willing to become mounts, they have to pass the test of our antler horses. Not everyone is qualified to sit on our backs."

"Of course." Luo Zhen nodded. Antler horses are not domesticated animals by them. They even have a certain amount of wisdom. The matter of mounts naturally requires a two-way choice between both parties. Only when they are satisfied can they deliver trust and tacit understanding.

"Those elves really like you." The giant antler raised its head and looked at the willow tree beside it. The green leaves on it had already withered and yellowed a lot.

"Elf?"

"It's the light worms you saw last night. They are the elves of this willow tree. They store the life energy collected by it for thousands of years. I didn't expect that you absorbed a lot in just one night, and I don't know how much it will cost. It takes a year to recuperate."

Luo Zhen rubbed her nose in embarrassment. He lost consciousness after feeling his body warm up last night. He didn't know what he had done. "I'm sorry."

The huge antler horse shook his head, "It was the mother tree who voluntarily shared these elves with you. Our antler horse family can reproduce here thanks to the protection of the mother tree. Unfortunately, those newborn children can no longer absorb energy from the elves." It's over." The huge stag-horse sighed heavily, and if this continues, their stag-horse clan can only be reduced to ordinary wild beasts, and if the situation of the group is not so serious, it will not ask for help from the two humans. If it was placed thousands of years ago, whoever dared to say that the antler horse clan needed to rely on those weak humans, the huge antler horse would not mind giving the other party a hoof to send them to see the beast god.

"Seeing that you are so liked by the mother tree, I didn't think I chose the wrong person. Your partner is also worthy of that clan, and he is willing to give up all his energy to you." The giant antler horse sighed.

Luo Zhen's heart moved. This is not the first time that the giant antler horse mentioned that family. "The family you mentioned, which one is it?"

The huge stag-horse narrowed its eyes, as if thinking about something, and shook its head for a long time, "That clan is gone too, or there wouldn't be a human hybrid." The gigantic stag-horse didn't want to answer Luo Zhen's question, "Go ahead , your partner has been waiting for you for a long time, see if there are any children in my group who will also choose to be your mount."

The huge stag horse stood up, flicked its tail, and walked slowly behind the willow tree, and soon disappeared into the shadows.

Luo Zhen managed to swim back to the shore. After landing, a gust of cold wind blew by and couldn't help shivering. His clothes were placed on a big rock by Lu Zhan. At this time, he couldn't help but praise the other party's foresight, knowing to help him in advance Take off his clothes, at least now he can change out of the wet clothes on his body, so that he won't be frozen into a popsicle just after landing.

It's not hard to find where Lu Zhan is. From time to time there is a burst of yelling, as if cheering.Luo Zhen bundled the wet clothes together, picked a few leaves, wrapped them up, and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

"Luo Zhen."

Just a few steps away, a beautiful antler horse raised its hooves and stopped in front of Luo Zhen. Against the light, the pair of huge antlers were so conspicuous. Lu Zhan sat firmly on the antler horse and saw Luo Zhen showing a Big smile.

Luo Zhen felt her heart beating violently, maybe the antler horse was too tall and strong, standing in front of him was too imposing, or the man sitting on the antler horse smiled too dazzlingly.

Lu Zhan didn't know the other party's sudden mood change. Seeing that the other party was stunned, he turned over and landed on the ground neatly. He reached out and patted the antler horse's back. stepped aside.

"Let's go, we're going back." Lu Zhan walked up to Luo Zhen, squatted down, and motioned for him to come up.

Luo Zhen came back to her senses, her face was a little hot.

"Have you become heavier?" Lu Zhan lifted the other party on his back and turned up and down suspiciously.

"Have you ever seen anyone who became heavier overnight?" Luo Zhen's unknown thoughts disappeared because of Lu Zhan's words, and she angrily threw the wrapped wet clothes on Lu Zhan's head After pressing it, the other party was shocked.

Lu Zhan stepped up and walked back along the way he came last night. This time he didn't run at full speed, the speed was not fast, and his feet made a creaking sound on the snow on the ground.

"Maybe you ate too many elves last night and didn't have time to digest them."

"Lu Zhan, why did you ask me to soak in the pool water? You know those elves have energy, right?" After staying away from the territory of the antler horse clan, Luo Zhen finally couldn't help asking her doubts.

"I know, I don't know why I asked you to soak."

Lu Zhan jumped over a pothole drilled by wild beasts, and after he landed firmly on the ground, he replied: "Those are the life energy of the willow tree. After absorbing it, you will not get sick in the future. It won't be that easy to die."
