Those years of engaging with the system for animal insurance

On the third day after a huge flock of passenger pigeons passed by, a huge winged raccoon crawled out of an abandoned brown bear burrow.

Li Cixin dusted off his body and checked his current state.

Now he has become a big guy with a head, a height of more than one meter and a weight of more than 100 kilograms.

Coupled with special abilities, it can be said that they are not afraid of any carnivores on the North American continent.

In North America at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the beautiful country had long since been freed from the control of Great Britain, and it had been established for many years.

And the hunting of passenger pigeons by these European colonists has just begun.

Li Cixin began to explore in the woods. He remembered that the data showed that the most hunted passenger pigeons started from the eastern part of North America.

The earliest place where Europeans inhabited was in the east of this continent.It is also the first thirteen states of the beautiful country.

As the population grows, people at the bottom will target passenger pigeons in order to eat meat.

The number of passenger pigeons is large and the distribution is wide, and because of the perennial migration, the meat is very delicious.In this era when ordinary people can't eat meat, for a little money, you can buy a passenger pigeon to satisfy your hunger.

Among these colonists, and therefore, a complete industrial chain was born.

Many people make a living by hunting passenger pigeons.

Cunning humans have learned various ways to catch passenger pigeons.

Since the early days, passenger pigeons were in large numbers.Hunters choose to shoot directly, without even aiming, as long as they shoot into the sky, passenger pigeons will fall.

This kind of ease of hunting can be called hunting.

There are also some hunters who will catch a live passenger pigeon, blindfold it, and stimulate it to sing, so as to lure other passenger pigeons to come and throw themselves into the net.

Some hunters are even better. Passenger pigeons, as a migratory bird, often spend the night collectively in the woods.Hunters seized this phenomenon and burned sulfur directly on the forest floor. A large amount of sulfur smoke caused passenger pigeons to be smothered to death in batches and fell to the ground.

Some people even use a horse-drawn cart to pull it, and it takes many trips to transport it.

Many passenger pigeons on the road were crushed by wheels.

If it can't fit, it just rots in the ground.

Of course, the existence of passenger pigeons does not only consume this value.Its feces and blood were used as medicine by people at that time to treat some common diseases, such as malaria.

The soft feathers of passenger pigeons can also be used to make down products.

According to records, in 1822, a family killed 4000 passenger pigeons in one day just to make a four-piece bed.

Such a large-scale massacre, even the huge population of passenger pigeons cannot bear it.

During the first half of the 19th century, passenger pigeon populations in the East began to decline dramatically.

What Li Cixin has to do is to go to the east to prevent this phenomenon from happening.

Flapping its wings, Yuanyuan's figure also left the ground.

Flying in the sky, Li Cixin observed the terrain below.Because this is the west side of the Central Great Plains, the terrain is basically flat.

The fourth largest river in the world, the Mississippi River flows through here, and it is also one of the three largest black lands in the world.

The soil is very fertile, and the terrain is good, so it became the trump card of the beautiful country and an important grain exporting country in the world.

Li Cixin is now a flying raccoon.While he was admiring the wilderness that had not been fully developed by humans.

All of a sudden, I felt a pain in the back of my head, as if I had been hit hard by a hammer, and my eyes began to stare.

Li Cixin's only thought at the moment is: I am flying so high, what else can hit me?

Of course, he was so confused that he didn't have time to think too much.I just felt that the wings could not exert their strength, and the whole body began to fall down.

While the sky was spinning, he seemed to see a bird falling down with him.

In an emergency, the system's voice sounded:

"Alarm, alert! During the flight, the owner was attacked by a peregrine falcon, causing brain damage and temporarily losing control of his body. The current altitude is 1000 meters, 900 meters...

About to start, safe landing mode. "

With the help of the system, Li Cixin managed to save his life and fell to the ground slowly.

Before he fainted, he finally saw the culprit that caused his "crash"—a peregrine falcon!

The peregrine falcon is a relatively large species in the falcon family, with a body length of 38-50 cm and a wingspan of 95-115 cm.

Their weight is in the range of 647-825 grams, which is still small compared to Li Cixin's current state.

As a kind of raptor, peregrine falcons have their advantage in speed. The fastest record of their dive speed is faster than China's high-speed rail.

Speed ​​is the only thing in martial arts in the world. Relying on their amazing speed, peregrine falcons can easily kill prey that is much larger than themselves.

Often before the prey can react, they will pass by like lightning and headshot each other with their sharp claws.

With this ability, the falcon even dares to attack other raptors that are bigger than itself, such as the national bird of the beautiful country, the bald eagle.

There are even kill records for each other.

It is simply a small and exquisite assassin in the sky.

Apparently, this peregrine falcon was a little bit adrift.Facing Li Cixin who was so much older than him, he dared to sneak attack.

Fortunately, Li Cixin has a large body, a thick skull, and the claws of the peregrine falcon did not cause any substantial damage to him.

It's a pity that the peregrine falcon didn't stop the car, and hit Li Cixin's spine all at once.Under the extreme speed, it still caused a lot of impact, which is also the reason why he was dizzy.

Looking back, this reckless peregrine falcon also killed [-] enemies and damaged [-]. It rushed directly to the back of Li Cixin's head, knocked itself to death, and even lost its beak.

Before Li Cixin fainted, he saw a little girl in a beast robe walking over.He thought to himself: It's over, this time he will be reduced to someone else's rations, he should be able to eat several meals with such a big piece...

As soon as he finished thinking, he passed out.

The self-healing ability in the genetic modification was indeed very powerful, and Li Cixin finally woke up after a few hours.

At this moment, he was hidden on the spot, and a circle was built around him with weeds.

When Li Cixin looked around, several children appeared in his sight.

One of them was the little girl he had seen before he fainted.

These children are all bronze-colored, and their faces look like Asians. Both men and women are covered with animal skins, and some have white bars painted on their faces.

It seems that they should be Indians.

Seeing Li Cixin wake up, the children chattered.

Li Cixin didn't understand what they were talking about, so he said to the system:

"Xiaobao, please give me the language converter."

"Okay, please check."

…………

"Ya, why don't we tell the elders about them?" said a little boy.

Another boy next to him also echoed, "Yes, if the elders know that we picked up such a big raccoon and it still has wings, they will definitely reward us for eating meat."

The little girl who first discovered Li Cixin retorted:

"No, the clan is preparing to sacrifice to the Sun God recently. If the adults know about it, they will definitely take him to the altar."

Seemingly thinking of something terrible, these children suddenly stopped talking.

This actually aroused Li Cixin's interest!Sacrifice?He wanted to see it.

The children threw the wild fruit in their hands in front of Li Cixin at a distance of two meters.

Looking at these strange things, Li Cixin picked up one, and a thought popped into his mind, there is no water, it needs to be washed!

He shook his head violently, suppressing the raccoon's genetic desire.

Raccoons choose to wash their food before eating.Li Cixin had no choice but to rub the fruit a few times to enjoy himself.

After feeding him, the children didn't stay long and ran away.

Li Cixin also planned to continue going east, but he stopped.He wanted to see what the legendary sacrifice looked like.

After disappearing, Li Cixin swaggered behind the child and came to the center of the tribe.

The tribe is just inside the forest, along the way, Li Cixin found a lot of fortifications.These Indians seemed to be avoiding something, otherwise, they would not have left the plains and came to this remote place.

Around the tribe are some tent-like thatched houses.Like the stars and the moon, in the center of these simple houses, there is a sacrificial platform about four meters high made of stones.

It may be due to the rush of time, and the stacking of the stone platform is not perfect.However, the dark red bloodstains on the steps and the human skulls displayed on the high platform all showed that there had been bloodshed here before.

Li Cixin came to the nearest and largest thatched hut from the altar, and heard an old voice murmuring inside:

"Great sun god, I have restarted your sacrifice, why do you still let demons ravage your followers?

Please, drive out that foreign white-skinned devil!For so many years I have not abided by the ancestral law, and have not given you a maiden, this is my sin as a priest.

I will sacrifice to you on time in the future, please don't abandon your followers..."

Overhearing this, Li Cixin could probably guess what happened.

He asked the system:

"Xiaobao, do Indians have the custom of offering sacrifices to living people?"

"It is true that some Indians have them, but there are many branches of Indians, and some have gradually abandoned this custom in the course of historical development."

Li Cixin: "According to this Indian priest, this tribe should have gradually given up living sacrifices before, but now the arrival of white people, massacres and infectious diseases have made these Indians desperate, and began to rush to the doctor!

Let's go, let's take a look. "

Li Cixin continued to search for clues in this tribe. Not long after, he found a huge pothole not far from the tribe. Looking closely, it was full of human corpses, emitting a strong stench.

The most horrifying thing was that there were still people alive inside, a boy who looked sixteen or seventeen years old was lying dying on the pile of corpses at this moment.

He looked like a gossamer, with pimples all over his body, and the blowflies had already started to catch up with the smell.

Li Cixin looked at the survivor and said:

"Xiaobao, scan it for me to see if it's smallpox?"

"The scan is complete! It is indeed smallpox."

This directly proved Li Cixin's guess, it seems that this tribe has been tricked.

In order to exterminate the Indians, the white colonists gave clothes infected with the smallpox virus to each other. As a result, smallpox became popular in the Indian tribes.

The Indians couldn't figure out why these outsiders would not get sick, but only themselves would get sick and die.

Therefore, the Indians at that time thought that they were a race abandoned by the gods.

The tribe is probably the same situation.

Li Cixin couldn't bear to watch the young life passing away little by little. He began to search in the system to see if there was a cure for smallpox.

At least it was not possible in his original world, until smallpox was eradicated, and humans did not develop a specific medicine.

Fortunately, people in the future are good enough. When they specialize in the research of Galanvirus, as one of the most typical infectious diseases in human history, the special medicine for smallpox virus has actually developed a few.

Facing the burial cave full of flies and insects, Li Cixin jumped down without hesitation. Looking at the green giant corpses next to him, he calmly used the raccoon's nimble claws to give the young man an injection.

Thinking about this guy, I don't know how long he stayed inside, he must not have enough energy.In case of death, it would be a waste of special medicine.So, he was given a few more glucose.

Afterwards, Li Cixin took him out of the corpse cave and found a quiet place to wait.

The next day, the condition really improved.

On the third day, the pimples on the other party's face had begun to scab.

Li Cixin also knew the name of the person he rescued—crocodile.Yes, a simple and rude name.

This guy seems to regard himself as a god, but for Li Cixin, pretending to be a ghost is already a matter of ease.

But on the other side, the new sacrifice is going on in an orderly manner.
