Searching for food through the beast world

Stone Carvings and Murals

People are usually unwilling to move places when they are full.No matter what the males are, at least Ding Xiao doesn't want to move at all.

Leaning on Kun's arm, holding Xiao Baituan'er who was sleeping very sweetly after eating in his arms.Ding Xiao finally turned his attention to the surrounding cave walls.

It seems... there are really traces of artificial opening!Although there are many stones on the cave walls, most of them have no edges and corners.He wouldn't think so if these were stalactites or something, but these were obviously dry and hard rocks.What made him even more suspicious was that these stones became more and more regular the more he looked at them.

There will be a round stone in the middle of about seven to eight stones.Although it looked messy at first glance, would a natural cave have stone protrusions everywhere on the cave wall? "Kun, when you go to the deepest place, is the cave wall full of lumps of stone?"

Kun replied: "There is a very flat place inside. Are these stones useful?" They can't be eaten, right?

Very flat place? "Kun, let's not go back today, I want to see how deep this cave is. Maybe there will be something you want to find here."

When Brother Kun heard this, he immediately came to his senses.Xiaoxiao's words meant something, and he could understand it.When taking a hot spring, Xiaoxiao told himself that the giant python that lived here before should be a jiao and belong to the dragon species according to his hometown.It might not necessarily be possible to find traces of the existence of the Dragon Clan here.He doesn't care at all whether he can find the dragon scale or not.Even if you find him, you won't let another cub between you and Xiaoxiao so soon!It's just that if you find it, you can ask Na to give it a try first.I have already promised Aqi. (←←)

"Uncle Jue, I want to say something with a smile. The giant python is obviously different from the pythons we are familiar with. He smiled and said that it may be a dragon species. We may find evidence of the life of dragons in this cave. Only by telling the truth can the three Silver Wolf clan members willingly continue to follow.To be honest, the meat of this boa constrictor plus a bunch of messy things is really beyond what I can carry on my own.It's not a matter of weight, it's a matter of getting in the way.

For the entire animal world, everyone is curious about whether the dragon clan still exists.And people feel that the Dragon Clan is so powerful, there must be something in their hands that can benefit them.Although no one will deliberately look for the Dragon Clan, the elders of some tribes even object to their own people speculating on anything related to the Dragon Clan, after all, it was the tribe that once ruled them.But obviously the patriarch and elders of the Silver Wolf Clan didn't think so.So I feel that they are also very interested in this matter.

After all, even the oldest Xiao is only over 200 years old, and he has just entered the prime of life in the beast world, and none of them will be less passionate.

Maybe those dried meats were stolen by wild beasts from outside, Ding Xiao and the others had to take everything with them before they could continue walking in.Now that the dangerous aura left by the giant python in the cave was gone, they couldn't take the risk of losing food.

The more he walked in, the more Ding Xiao was sure that at least half of the cave was formed artificially.Or it can be said that it has been modified by humans.

Kun and the others have never done this kind of thing before, so they don't pay attention to any traces on the cave wall.But Ding Xiao will.He clearly saw a few very regular wavy traces on the smooth cave wall inside.Although if you don't look closely, it looks more like the marks left by snakes and insects crawling over, but if you touch it carefully, you will know that it is carved out of sharp objects.As for what it represents, Ding Xiao can't guess for the time being.

Ding Xiao looked here and there for a while and looked there for a while.Bai Tuan'er has now been handed over to Kun to take care of him.In addition to the footsteps, there may be only the breathing of five people in the cave, and the occasional small grunt of Xiao Baituan'er.

There are quite a lot of forks in this cave.But each of them is only ten meters away at most. Some of them look natural, but in Ding Xiao's eyes, most of them are like small rooms with various purposes.He wasn't quite sure until finally he found a few unhulled grains of rice in a small hole.This cave must have been inhabited by people. As for when the giant python lived in it, and where the people who originally lived here went, he didn't know.

Seeing these few grains of rice, Ding Xiao was very excited.Although these few grains have not gone moldy and deteriorated, they have already begun to petrify. This is probably due to the special dryness of this small hole. It should have been scooped up to store grain in the past.It doesn't matter if you can't eat it. This proves that the world still has the familiar rice.After eating all kinds of staple foods that have the same nutrition and taste as rice, Ding Xiao still feels more like finding his favorite rice.This is just a kind of stubbornness, but maybe it is more a kind of nostalgia for the past and hometown.

Suddenly, a gust of cool wind blew on everyone.Everyone was shocked.Everyone looked up in the direction of the wind, and sure enough there were several circular holes on it. As for what was above the circular holes, they couldn't see it with their eyesight.But at least it is certain that the reason why the cave is not stuffy is that these ventilation holes have a lot of credit.

But immediately after that, they discovered many such ventilation holes.And there is a particularly dry hole near each vent.Also around the ventilation hole, there must be a place with a clear water pool.If you don't believe that people once lived here, you are a fool. "Actually, it's too dark here, otherwise it's really a good place to live." Ding Xiao sighed, but he didn't want to make any guesses with these people.

Kun didn't quite agree: "Speaking with a small voice will become very loud, it's not good here."

Ding smiled.Did not refute anything.He was really tired after walking for a long time. "Anyway, there are ventilation holes here, so let's have lunch here. After walking for a long time, my feet hurt. Let me cook a pot of hot snake porridge for everyone, and how about a pot of snake meat with tomato and pepper ?”

There is delicious food, and everyone has no doubts.Kun put the animal skin blanket on the ground, put Bai Tuan'er on it, and scooped up the jar to catch the clean water.

I feel that they are building a stove, and the stones used are brought in from outside.Of course, the firewood for ignition is also the same, and with pine bird oil to support the combustion, it can save about half of the dry firewood.

Ding Xiao chose half-dried boa constrictor meat that had been smoked and roasted last night.Cut the dried snake meat into shreds and then into rice grains, put them in a pot together with the washed rice nuts, add water and boil.The seasoning inside is only two pieces of milk gel.In fact, the smoked snake jerky has already been put into the smelly spices and moderate salt, and it is not suitable for more seasoning.

The eggplants are sun-dried, and after being fried in oil, the pungent and spicy smell rushes into people's nostrils.

Kun has gotten used to it and expressed his composure.But the other three didn't.All of them were sneezed several times, and at the same time, snot and tears came down.Even Little Bai Tuan'er was not spared, and desperately buried his little head in the fur of the animal skin blanket.And also issued a strong protest with a cry.

Ding Xiao looked at Bai Tuan'er's appearance and laughed at that moment. "Although this stuff smells a little choking. But it's very warm when you eat it. Uncle Jue has eaten the sliced ​​meat I fried with this tomato and pepper, and he knows it."

Xiao and Wei immediately turned their attention to Jue, who felt a lot of pressure. "Yeah. It's delicious. After eating it, the whole mouth feels hot. It's much hotter than eating ginger and garlic."

A mouthful of stewed snake meat with tomato and pepper requires three mouthfuls of grilled snake meat and a large mouthful of snake porridge to dilute the spicy taste.

Maybe it's because the taste of males is naturally stronger, so even though they are sweating from eating, they all find it extremely enjoyable.It is indeed a food discovered by a wise man, it can really make people sweat and heat up!It really warms up after eating.

Bai Tuan'er successfully ate some rice soup with snake porridge.Of course, Ding Xiao also added two pieces of milk glue in the rice soup.Bai Tuan'er ate this sweet and meaty food, and his appetite was very good.After eating, he automatically and consciously lay down on the ground, rolled twice, and rubbed his face with his small paws, then licked and rubbed his face again.

To be honest, the four males also thought it was cute to see Bai Tuaner like this.Especially Kun.It is said that leopards and tigers are also cats, and some habits are very common.Just like this action of washing your face with your paws.From this, Brother Kun imagined that if he and Xiaoxiao's cub would also do this kind of action in the future... Well, it must be much cuter than Bai Tuan'er.Ah no!How can my own son be cute!You must be as brave and powerful as yourself!It has to be said that Brother Kun's brain supplement ability has also risen to a new level after several years of training.

After lunch, continue the journey of exploration.This time several people quickly arrived at an open place.

In fact, Ding Xiao is not sure about the specific area of ​​this place, at least he is invisible from the height.But he knew Kun could. "Kun, how high is it?"

Kun raised his head, and his face immediately became serious.But after a while, he eased his expression again. "Very high."

Ding Xiao saw the clue, and hurriedly asked: "What's on it?"

At this time, the other three males also looked terrified. "It seems that there are... boa constrictors?"

Ding Xiao was anxious. "Python? How big is it? Same as before? Doesn't it mean that there is no dangerous breath inside?"

Kun quickly put his arms around Xiaoxiao's shoulders: "It's not alive, it's a stone like a boa constrictor." Of course, he felt that this thing was a bit strange, and it was very different from the boa constrictors he had seen before.Also, how could there be a stone like a boa constrictor?

Rocks like boa constrictors?Isn't that just stone carving?A boa constrictor carved in stone?No way! "Kun, light all the firewood, I want to see what's on it!"

All the firewood plus half the pine bird oil.After the fire was lit, the entire cavity was illuminated.It's a pity that the height above is really amazing, and these lights can only be seen by Ding Xiao.Not entirely clear.

But despite this, Ding Xiao has already seen clearly what the stone carving above is. "This is a dragon!"

In one sentence, all the attention of the four males was drawn to the stone sculpture above their heads.Looking at the thing that is hundreds of feet (meters) long and coiled around the stone pillar, an inexplicable sense of awe and fear rose in my heart.The animal shape of the dragon clan...is it so huge!

Kun asked, "Are you sure?"

Ding Xiao nodded: "Of course! Of course I'm not mistaken!" Although this is less scientific than tigers turning into humans, he used to think that the dragons here might have something to do with dinosaurs.But as soon as he saw this stone sculpture, he completely understood it.This nima is the totem dragon of my celestial kingdom!Sure enough, there is a reason why people in the Beast World speak Chinese!

Jue asked: "Do you know the animal shape of the Dragon Clan?"

"Uh..." After hesitating for a while, Ding Xiao immediately came up with a lie to prevaricate: "I saw it on the sacred scroll of our winged tiger clan. The totem of the dragon clan is like this!" I believe you don't have the ability to look up our The magic scroll of the Winged Tiger Clan, wipe your sweat.

At the same time, Wei suddenly said: "There are many strange things on the wall of this cave."

At this time, Ding Xiao was able to take care of what was on the cave wall.It turned out to be unbelievable, the entire wall of Nima's cave is a connected mural! ! !
