Chapter 520 Rest
On a hill in the hunting area.
A huge corpse is buried in this mountain.
It looks like a human, but the skeleton is a hundred meters long.
However, over the years, the bones have long been covered by vegetation and loess, with only a few parts exposed.
The hunting team ran to the area, dropped their spoils, and kowtowed to the giant corpse.
"This is an ancestor of my Tianhuang tribe. He died here in battle to protect the tribe."
"Whenever we go hunting, we come here to rest or hide from some primitive beasts."
The female warrior explained to Li Yuan and pulled him to worship together.
Li Yuan nodded and followed them to pay homage.
Behind him, Jiang Shi was running quickly, covered in blood and with some wounds caused by sharp claws.
He was breathing heavily, and visible white smoke was coming out of his nose.
Behind them, the demon wolves stopped at the foot of the mountain, as if they sensed some kind of aura and did not dare to approach the place where the corpses were.
"Ancestors bless you."
Jiang Shi calmed down and kowtowed to the huge human-shaped corpse on the hillside.
The demon wolf at the foot of the mountain lingered for a while, never daring to offend the breath of the corpse, and finally left unwillingly.
"The burial place of our ancestors, the primitive beasts dare not invade easily."
The burly man had a pious look on his face. After paying homage to the huge corpse on the mountain, he picked up the prey and continued walking up the mountain.
There is a huge cave in the mountain.
Inside is a wide cave.
The hunting team entered the cave and took a good rest.
There is also a small flowing ditch inside the cave, which was obviously deliberately dug by the predecessors.
Everyone used water to wash off the bloody smell on their bodies.
The meat and internal organs were also placed deep in the cave.
"The hunt will continue. The tribe will send people to carry today's spoils."
"We will only be responsible for the last shipment at that time."
The soldiers in the team all knew that Li Yuan was injured and lost his memory, and now he didn't understand anything. So whenever they had time, they would explain it to him briefly.
Li Yuan scratched his head, nodded, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
Night falls.
The female warrior took out two pieces of black ore from the animal skin, and after scraping them, flames appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Without firewood, the ore alone could create a steady flame that was as good as a campfire.
The burly man savagely tore off several large pieces of meat with his hands, found some wood sticks, and slowly roasted them over the fire.
Several soldiers didn't even eat and lay down in the cave to rest early.
When the second half of the night comes, they still need to get up and keep watch.
Although the mountains where our ancestors are buried are relatively safe, there have been cases of attacks by terrifying beasts.
While everyone was dividing the work in an orderly manner, Jiang Shi took Li Yuan for a short walk in the mountains.
"The night in the primeval forest is very dangerous."
"Some extremely hungry beasts may rush into the mountains."
"We need to take a look around."
Jiang Shi’s sturdy body walked in front, like an insurmountable stone wall.
He is a competent hunter, leading the hunting team to complete the hunt as much as possible and survive in the primitive forests.
Li Yuan followed behind, looking at the various vegetation and small creatures on the mountain, asking questions from time to time, and learned a lot.
I also asked a little bit about the creature that looked like a bat and a monkey.
Only then did I realize that the thing was not only extremely poisonous, but also a terrifying parasitic beast.
The creature is called a leather bat. It is extremely bloodthirsty and usually has a body length of two to three meters.
But once they injure their prey and make it faint from the poison, they will shrink into a ball of flesh, enter the prey through the mouth, parasitize in the prey's body, and can even absorb the host's memory and control the host's actions.
There was even a tragedy in the Tianhuang tribe where someone was parasitized by a fur bat in his stomach, and then was manipulated to return to the tribe and eat his entire family alive.
Li Yuan was surprised to hear this and felt a chill in his heart.
I wanted to feel awe towards it, but when I thought about the scene of me smashing that thing to pieces with my own hands, I couldn't feel any fear.
Jiang Shi was very serious and told Li Yuan that if he encountered that thing, he must run away quickly.
Li Yuan nodded seriously, indicating that he would definitely do as he was told and not let Jiang Shi down.
The two of them patrolled around the cave, killed a few blood-sucking poisonous creatures, and then returned to the cave to rest.
Just then, the burly man had finished roasting the rabbit and handed it to the two of them.
"Jiang Lie, we have to move to another place tomorrow."
The burly man Jiang Mu said softly.
They successfully hunted a few wolves, but the noise had already attracted the attention of the pack of demon wolves.
It might even have alarmed some more powerful primitive beasts.
In the days to come, they will definitely have to change the direction of hunting.
Jiang Shi nodded, eating the roasted meat while lying on the rock wall of the cave and looking at the simple patterns.
That is the original mountain forest topographic map that was continuously improved by generations of hunting teams.
"I want to hunt dragons."
Jiang Shi was silent for a moment, looked at a pool of water, and said something shocking.
The burly man Jiang Mu also took a look at the map on the rock wall and scratched his head: "The meat of the dragon is good for the children. If we can catch one..."
"But the Jiao is very large, very ferocious when hiding in the water, and also has magical powers."
The special abilities that the primitive behemoths were born with are called divine abilities by the innate human race.
They believed that it was all power bestowed by the Chaos Gods and Demons.
Just like their totems can bring divine energy, powerful primitive beasts can also use divine magic.
Jiang Shi frowned, knowing that the divine power was not to be trifled with.
In particular, the dragon lives in large lakes or deep pools, making it difficult to catch and kill.
However, the harsh winter is approaching and they must hunt stronger creatures.
The meat of those powerful creatures can provide more power and protect the tribe through the harsh winter!
While thinking, Jiang Shi suddenly thought of Li Yuan.
He found Li Yuan sitting at the entrance of the cave in a daze and couldn't help asking:
"You...have special powers...powers I can't understand."
"Is there a better way to help us hunt underwater dragons?"
Li Yuanben was listening to all the sounds between heaven and earth.
The silent night sky, the mountains and the water, and the occasional roars of various creatures...
This primitive and barbaric atmosphere made Li Yuan feel a little uncomfortable, but also a little novel.
When Jiang Shi suddenly asked me this, I answered subconsciously:
"Water Avoidance Technique, I know the Water Avoidance Technique, I can help you catch the dragon."
Jiang Shi was a little confused: "What is...avoiding...avoiding water?"
He had never heard of such a magical method.
Li Yuan thought about it and suddenly felt a little pain in his head. He covered his head with his hands, cried out "ouch", and rolled on the ground.
Seeing that he was upset, Jiang Shi stopped asking questions and just patted Li Yuan on the shoulder and continued to look at the map on the rock wall with a sigh.
I thought Li Yuan had an unknown background and special means, so he might be able to do something.
But judging from his appearance, the aftereffects of amnesia have had a huge impact on Li Yuan.
Jiang Shi continued to think about the direction and target of hunting.
The soldiers rested in batches.
Li Yuan resisted the pain in his mind and kept recalling his lost memories.
After seemingly feeling some pain, he fell into a deep sleep.
But what no one noticed was that deep in his eyes, a golden light was slowly reviving.
Although it is still bleak, it is a sign.
The next day, early in the morning.
The warriors gathered their belongings from the cave, sharpened their stone spears and other weapons, and prepared for today’s hunt.
After Li Yuan woke up, he went straight to Jiang Shi.
"I remember the Water Avoidance Technique! And... maybe I can teach you a little more!"
Li Yuan's eyes were bright and reflected a golden glow in the early morning sunlight.
