A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Cloris is not a professional doctor, and the medical kit contains mostly simple tools such as scalpels and tweezers, as well as ordinary wound medicine and bandages. On the spine of the big dark fish.

It's more like a saw than a cut.

The girl carefully controlled the strength so as not to cause irreparable damage to the spine of the big dark fish.

Well, even the current behavior, she doesn't think it is safe and sound.

The eyeballs of the big dark fish opened and closed again, opened and closed again, and its tongue was half stuck out, maybe it was the cub calling anxiously in front of it, its soul was not taken away by the severe pain in the end, and it survived .

Cloris gouged out a small piece of bone, exposing the blue "fibers" inside like water.

The girl had already taken out a clean sackcloth, she poured the fruit pulp into it, and dripped the filtered juice into the blue fibers.

This is a long process, but fortunately, the most tormented period has passed, and the cool juice brings a little analgesic effect.

As the blue fiber representing the source core was gradually dyed lavender, the surrounding water vapor also became more fruity.

Cloris signaled the monkeys to step back. She had already seen the exhausted parasites get out of the body of the big ghost fish. She was about to make a quick decision, but the little ghost fish had already swallowed the unpalatable insects. .

There were a total of sixteen, and two more crawled out from the corners of the big underworld fish's eyes, which made Cloris prove that her decision was not wrong at least—if it was a little later, these bugs might follow along. The blood of the big dark fish penetrated into the brain.

But whether it is correct or not depends on whether the big dark fish can survive in the end.

The rest of the work was much simpler. Cloris cut off the white "tumor" parasitic near the spine, removed the eggs laid by the parasite along the spine, sutured the wounds of the big ghost fish one by one, and applied hemostatic ointment .

After finishing everything, Cloris was exhausted, and she didn't sit at the entrance of the cave to rest until the big pluto was breathing really calmly and the monkeys dragged it into the cave.

After the monkeys left, Cloris closed her eyes and took a nap. Not long after, the little ghost fish jumped over with two pieces of dried meat in its mouth.It put the dried meat at the girl's feet, and helped Cloris pile up the firewood scattered by the water one by one, and made it look like a bonfire again, with a "chirp".

"If you really thank me, wait for your mother to wake up later and let her talk well." Cloris patted Xiao Mingyu's head, thought for a while, shook her head and said to herself, "No, wait for your mother to wake up." In the next ten or so days, the world will definitely be invincible, and I will not be at the mercy of you... Raising this little thing like you will eat me a few catties of bird meat every day, and raising a big dark fish that can't go out to hunt..."

Cloris rubbed her forehead and sighed, complaining that she was meddling in her own business.The place carrying the source core is generally not too fragile. Now I can only hope that the spine of the big dark fish can recover, but don’t find out that I have raised a paralyzed disabled bird after more than ten days. .

There is no such thing as a free lunch. In this regard, Cloris retains a utilitarian mentality.

At this time, the golden and red monkeys left and returned.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

They took Cloris' hand and pointed to the outside of the cave and yelled.

The girl opened the curtain, and followed the monkeys to the center of the wetland to look far away.On the other side of the valley, in the dense forest beyond the canyon, several clusters of faint fires lit up the mountainside.

The hill where the cave is located is tentatively named the Poor Monkey Education Mountain. The mountains on both sides of the Poor Monkey Education Mountain are winding and overlapping, and there are many cliffs between the mountains. In the canyon, the fire light looms in the dense forest behind the canyon.

It is difficult to visually measure the actual distance in the dark, and Cloris can only build a model based on her memory of the terrain during the day.

The fire wasn't close, but it definitely wasn't far.

"Someone?"

This was Cloris' first reaction, but soon, a more terrifying thought popped into her mind——

The group of apes came to the door.

61. The Apes Are Coming

This area is also a strange place for the gray and black apes.

In the wilderness layer where the daylight hours are less than three hours, their range of activities is extremely limited. Although the use of fire has given them the ability to travel long distances at night, and their strong physique also allows them to gather crowds to drive away or even hunt fierce beasts, they are nearly a hundred miles away. Trek across the mountains, the danger hidden in it is still deadly enough.

Therefore, the gray and black apes will not rush forward after the nocturnal creatures start to move. They choose to make a fire and camp on a slightly open lawn, and fall asleep on the spot.

There are basically no such things as raiding the camp. There are no large animals around here, but there will be no shortage of poisonous substances such as snakes and insects. If you start a battle under the dim moonlight, you may be killed by something without even touching the enemy's fur. The bite took life.

Whether to fight or flee, Cloris and Ah Fu fully exchanged opinions.

According to the old monkey's gestures, there are hundreds of those gray apes, entrenched in the rainforest area about three days' walk away.

Cloris made an analogy between Acuiahua and the little monkey Awang, and asked Afu the number of "women and children" of the gray ape. Unfortunately, the communication in this area encountered obstacles, and the girl did not come up with any useful information.

However, it can be speculated that the apes should have a stable settlement instead of migrating with the group while looking for food.That being the case, the number of apes here should be limited. Cloris didn't believe that she would send dozens or even hundreds of apes to take revenge after six days' journey back and forth.

It is useless to think about it now, Cloris prepared twelve arrows, lent the iron pick to the monkey temporarily, and closed her eyes to recharge her energy.

The girl didn't have a clock, so she didn't know the time at the moment. After she slept and became a little more energetic, dusk had not yet arrived.

She checked the unconscious big dark fish first, then climbed over the cliff to the monkeys' stronghold.

The little monkey Awang was watching the wind, and Ada brought two mature male monkeys to sharpen the wooden poles with an iron axe. After Acui and Ahua filled a large basket with stones, they processed the ingredients with the old monkey Afu—

The monkeys gathered some sour berries, mixed them with leaves and soil to make cakes, dried them and chewed them to satisfy their hunger.

It was only then that Cloris realized that the food for the monkeys had become so distressed. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have taken it for granted that these guys born in the mountains could get food at will.

Think about it too, if the food is really everywhere, the monkeys would have multiplied here.

Cloris doesn't expect these monkeys to help her fight, but she still needs to rely on their help in production and exploration. If the monkeys are only allowed to eat these things, they will have no strength to escape in the end.

The blue strange bird weighs about two hundred catties. After plucking its feathers and removing its bones, there is still a hundred catties of good meat left. Cloris went back to the cave to select a few catties of good quality breast meat and wing meat, and shared them with the monkeys. .

This kind of "gift" is naturally indispensable to the monkeys' worship. Cloris couldn't reverse their behavior, so she just accepted it calmly.

Looking at the wooden pole sharpened by Ah Da, she had some thoughts in her mind.

When she was in the Black Forest, she would also make some simple traps to catch small animals and slightly larger chocobos. If she wanted to ambush apes, she would just make the traps bigger and the wooden poles sharper and thicker.

Judging from the effect of stabbing the apes with a dagger at the beginning, the skin of those apes is a little tougher than cowhide, and their thick muscles are also stronger than ordinary humans in terms of strength, but as long as they are not copper skin and iron bones, they can be penetrated by traps.

It doesn't matter if you don't die, life is better than death can have a better deterrent effect.

The only problem is that laying out the trap requires careful preparation.Sharpening wooden poles, weaving hemp rope, and digging pits all required a lot of manpower and time. Cloris only had a shovel without a handle. It would work with wooden poles, but the efficiency would definitely not be high.

Moreover, without the tough black hemp of Faljar, it would take a lot of work to weave a usable rope from the tall grass stems here. The vines are easy to use, but cutting and weaving are equally difficult.

If I can command more monkeys, things will be much easier to handle...

Not right either.Cloris shook her head.

If there are dozens more monkeys, her food will not last for a day or two.

The wetlands are full of aquatic plants, which are not eaten by monkeys. They must not be eaten. Cloris already has the idea of ​​slaughtering "long-nosed and long-horned buffaloes", but the skin of those creatures looks thicker than that of apes. , Cloris is really not sure to hunt it down with the existing weapons.

The hard cluster of arrows may cause damage, but if it is not fatal, there is basically no possibility of recovering the arrows, which is a great blow to the few strengths.

However, some simple preparations can still be made.

Cloris waited for the monkeys to eat, and then took them to dig a deep hole in the depression of the mountain pass, and inserted the five cut wooden poles into the soil.The wooden pole was longer than Cloris' height, and it seemed that the monkeys had originally planned to throw it as a spear.

When Cloris spread the rattan net she wove on it and covered it with a thin layer of mud, the monkeys were all puzzled.

Cloris tried to hug a big rock and threw it towards the trap.

The rattan net collapsed, and a wooden pole was unfortunately broken by a stone.

The girl looked at the group of monkeys after the demonstration, they were still confused, only the eyes of the old monkey showed a gleam of light, and the little monkeys clapped their hands and shouted beside them.

that's enough.

As dusk approached, Cloris had no time to make more preparations. She finally arranged for the monkeys, and warned: If the enemy is no more than ten fingers old, with the help of the Void Touch and the crossbow, they will definitely let them There is no return; but if you can't count with three hands, you can only run as far as you can.

……

Slender ape monkey is a leader of the tribe. There are many monkeys under his command, and his overall strength is second only to the leader.At the same time, it is good at "studying", and is the "smart ape" who likes to use weapons most in the ethnic group's foreign wars.When the apes occupied the "Spar Mountain", the tribal combat effectiveness of the slender apes also ushered in a qualitative leap——

The spar mountain is difficult to chisel out with stones, but the surrounding rivers, soil and pits can always pick up spar fragments of different sizes, and the slender apes tied these fragments to wooden poles, and the effect is far better than stone tools.

It brought two little brothers with more than two palms and five-fingered monkey slaves. The slaves were loaded with food and tied up with vines one by one. Dinner, so far, there are only three of the five slaves left.

The apes did not have the habit of eating cooked food. The corners of their mouths were bloodshot, and they held stone tools in their hands. Some gray apes held funny weapons spliced ​​with thick wooden poles and wafers, and set out to cross the canyon.

After the canyon, the field of vision suddenly opened up, the flowers were fragrant, the birds were singing, the river was gurgling, and the sun was slowly falling from one side of the sky.

In the middle of the wetland, a little monkey is struggling to touch a loach-like fish with his bare hands.

The moment the group of apes arrived, it raised its head vigilantly, its horrified eyes collided with its scarlet pupils...

62. The First Monkey War

The setting sun was like blood, and the light reflected a dreamlike brilliance in the hazy water vapor. Awang shivered in this brilliant brilliance, only to hear bursts of thunderous howls, and the apes ran towards the wetland with cruel eyes Come on!

Awang's speed was not as fast as that of an adult ape, but the apes were not able to close the distance of more than a hundred meters in just a few seconds.

The little monkey threw the leaf bag in his hand into the air, and ran up the mountain in a panic. Before crossing the soft mud of the mountain pass, it should have jumped over it, but in the end, fear overcame reason and walked along the edge of the soft mud. bypassed.

The two gray apes followed closely behind, and the four gray apes, who were a little slower, finally squeezed on the soft mud when they passed the not-so-spacious mountain path. When the pursuers arrived, the layer of soft mud was finally overwhelmed, and the three gray and black apes fell down with a plop.

A sudden scene stopped the gray apes behind. At this moment, the figure of the ape rushing to the front froze suddenly, and a cold light pierced through his head. The companion who was frightened by this scene lost his mind for a moment. The monkey Awang rolled around on the ground, and two golden-red monkeys appeared behind the tree trunks on the roadside. They straightened the vines, and the absent-minded ape directly broke the vines and fell onto the stone, with its hard teeth intact. The gums were knocked so that they were bleeding.

In three seconds, another hard cluster of arrows pierced through the wind, piercing through the gray ape's chest.

The four gray apes stuck on the mountain road sensed a hint of ominousness. The companions behind them stayed for about half a minute because of the trap. With a "whoosh", the red arrow clusters pierced into the flesh of a gray ape. Flames suddenly gushed out of its throat, and wisps of blue smoke gradually emerged from its fur.

The gray ape howled, but the vocal cords could not make a clear sound under the burn, and the burnt internal organs spit out in a cough.

It burns.

Where have the gray apes seen such a strange appearance?Without saying a word, he turned around and fled. At this time, howls of "Woooo" sounded one after another in the mountain forest. Those voices sounded from all directions. Although it was sparse, it sounded that at least two or three monkeys with two hands were coming.

On weekdays, not to mention twenty or thirty gold-red monkeys, even if the number doubled, these gray apes dared to charge forward.But the successive aggressive and strange incidents at this moment made them choose to retreat immediately.

A burning gray ape screamed and ran, while the remaining three gray apes turned their heads and fled, not daring to face the unknown forest.

They panicked and bumped into their companions around the trap. With a bang, two more gray apes fell in, stabbing their ribs or arms.

The leading slender ape stared blankly at the scene in front of him—several younger brothers were stunned by a wooden pole in the ground for no reason, and another younger brother was burning and threw himself into the river in the wetland, trying to extinguish the flames with water.

However, that layer of flames continued to burn along the river surface, the red dust crackled and burst, and the tragic wailing resounded through the valley, gradually hoarse.

Fortunately, the slender ape has seen some things in the world. It knocked down the three apes who were crying and screaming with one paw, and asked the younger brothers to drag out their companions who fell into the pit. The gray ape that stepped on the trap first did not die completely, but look This amount of bleeding is like a spring, which is more likely to be fatal than good.The latter two apes who were knocked into by their companions were only injured. For this kind of younger brother, the thin long ape will treat him with herbal medicine as much as possible. .

The slender ape looked darkly into the depths of the woods. The cries that resounded through the mountains before were like thousands of troops, but they all stopped now. It was smarter than the younger brothers and thought more, even if there was no sign of the enemy. Seeing that it lost a quarter of its ape hands, and dragged two temporarily inconvenient injuries, it still has no intention of giving up.

If the enemies in the dark really had the ability to kill them all, they wouldn't be hiding their heads and showing their tails like this.

It walked to the river and drew the arrow from the charred corpse.

The arrows were somewhat similar in shape to those used by the gold and red slaves, but the "toys" made by those slaves were basically impossible to cause fatal damage to their fur, let alone ignite a terrible flame.

In addition, regarding the crackling dust, similar red particles will appear before the explosion in the "Spar Mountain" cave.

However, even though the slender ape looked at the arrow over and over, he didn't notice anything unusual.It wanted to find something to poke and try the sharpness of the arrows, but it thought that the "toys" made by the slaves would become blunt after being shot once or twice, so the thin ape gave up before the research understood The idea that arrows could be damaged.

It gathered the remnants and retreated from the direction of the canyon.

"Let's go now?" Cloris frowned.

Although her crossbow and arrows are enchanted by Arista, the effective killing distance of Gray Ape will not exceed 30 meters.Moreover, the enchanted secret text also needs source power to activate. The girl's own source power is supposed to charge the void ring, and there is basically no spare power to extract specific attribute source power to supplement the crossbow.

In theory, Void Source Force can extract various mysterious properties, but in fact, in the current situation of Cloris, she can only extract the three properties of light, fire, and water, and at the same time, the efficiency is pitifully low, unless a mine is found, Only young girls can use the local method to refine the charged inferior source pulp.

If it is an arrow that needs to have the characteristics of filth and curse to charge, it is basically one less - Alista is corroded by corruption, so it is naturally impossible for her to enchant the magic arrow It is an aboveboard type of purification. The so-called breaking the devil is completely "fighting poison with poison".

To sum up, Cloris's ambush against the apes is also mainly to drive back. While preserving her strength as much as possible, she buys time for continuing to set traps.

In this way, even if the other party moved in to rescue soldiers, she would have more room to maneuver.

The retreat of the apes was expected, but what Cloris didn't expect was that they retreated so simply, especially the slender ape at the head, who didn't show any violent emotions at all.

Trickier than a Cyclops...

Moreover, it took away its own burning arrow.

It was beyond the girl's expectation that the burned ape could run so far alive.

"Is it really gone?" Cloris walked out of the woods, looked at the direction in which the apes left, and said to herself.

After trekking for several days to come here, it took only 10 minutes from chasing the little monkey to being ambushed.She would never be reconciled to such a hasty retreat and Cloris's transposition.

In addition, it would be fine if these monkeys ran away in a panic, but under the leadership of the slender ape, no matter how frightened they were, they retreated in an orderly manner.

After thinking hard to no avail, Cloris commanded the monkeys to clean up the "battlefield" and collect those shiny weapons...

Shiny?

Cloris picked up the weapon, and remembered the spears made by the monkeys from the discarded source crystal fragments——

Maybe, there really is a source crystal mine on this deserted island.
