Chapter 54: Return from the Hunt

The little barbarian stared blankly at the sky, he didn't understand what had just happened. But the constant dissipation of life from his throat was palpable, and his eyes widened in horror.

Are you going to die? Are you going to die? The first time you participated in such a big hunt, you died...... What will my grandmother do when I die? She won't be abandoned by the tribes, will she? If a person lives outside the tribe, she will soon freeze to death...... No, you can't die...... Can't ...... yet

The little barbarian seemed to want to shout something, maybe he wanted to cry for help, maybe he wanted to shout and continue to fight, but whatever he wanted to do, he was doomed to not be able to do it. Because of the rupture of his throat, most of his vocal cords were now destroyed, and the little savage only let out a few insignificant "ho-ho-ho" sounds from his mouth, and then slowly closed his eyes.

On the other side, the wolf that had attacked the little barbarian just now simply chewed the flesh and bones of the little barbarian's throat, and then swallowed them directly into his stomach.

"It's a pity that I was targeted by the wolf king. Rego shook his head regretfully, and then he let go of the hand that was pressing on Regner's shoulder: "He could have been a very good fighter, but...... It's a pity that he still didn't pass the test. ”

Ragner lowered his hand that was dangling in the air holding the Shadow Knife, and he turned his head to look at Rego with a look of regret. Although his expression looked very sincere, it was probably a problem with his eyes, but Regner always felt that there was a disgusting irony in Rego's expression.

He's just a kid, a kid in need, why? Why can Rego, as a barbarian king, be here indifferently watching his own people's children die like this? What was he thinking?!

Although the little barbarian had nothing to do with Regner, Ragner didn't know why there was a rush of anger in his heart. He turned his head with a gloomy face, then stared at Rego and asked coldly, "Why?"

"Why?" asked Rego, somewhat puzzled.

"Why did you stop me?" asked Regner, holding back his anger.

"Because he's trying. Rego repeated his previous answer: "Our ancestors taught us ......"

"Hell Ancestor, fuck your trial!" Ragnar was furious, he looked up at Rego's crooked eyes, and then yelled, "It's just a fucking hunt! It's just a hunt! He's just a kid! If you don't help yourself, forget it! Why stop me? Is it so good for you for this kid to die?"

"He can't blame anyone else. Rego replied lightly: "It's just that he let down his vigilance, he didn't pass the trial." ”

"Don't you dare to say trial believe it or not, I'll kill you directly!" Regner didn't want to hear the word from Rego anymore, and he continued to roar, "I repeat, this is just a hunt, not a trial! Why can't you give him a chance? Don't you barbarians even have the most basic human nature?!"

Rego also became a little angry when he heard this, and his huge body pressed towards Regner, just the shadow he created was enough to completely envelop the slender Regner. Rego said seriously: "Although we are barbarians, we are also human, and we have humanity. ”

"Then why don't you go and save him?!" Regner asked unflinchingly.

"Because he didn't ......," said Rego, but after a pause, he changed his words, "because even if he survives with your help this time, he will make the same mistake of laxity in the future, and it is better to let him die like this, which will at least save the tribe's food." Among the barbarians, only warriors who are equally strong physically and mentally deserve to live. ”

"......" Regner realized when he heard this, as if he had mistaken something. He seems to have imposed the worldview and values of mankind on the barbarians, and for them, human life seems to be far less valuable than in his eyes, is this the value of the barbarians......

"And you seem to have gotten one thing wrong. Rego looked at Regner, then continued, "When I say trial, I don't mean this hunt. Our ancestors taught us that the whole life of every barbarian is a trial. Anyone will eventually fall in the middle of the trial, the difference is only how long he can last. ”

"......" Regner was silent, he realized that although he had read a lot of information about the barbarians, he had never been able to truly understand the group.

From a human point of view, he would naturally lash out at Rego's approach, and even spurn at his merciless contempt. However, Regner swept away the guards around Sarego, they were the personal guards of the barbarian king, and all of them also had quasi-high-level strength, and even two of them had reached the sixteenth level.

If only one of them had made a move, the hunt would have been much easier for these barbarians. But they were completely indifferent to the death of their people. Regner remembered that Rego had said that they were only here to visit the hunting group and would not interfere with the hunting of their people. Regner didn't think it was Rego joking, but he didn't expect that Rego and the others would execute this sentence so thoroughly, completely and ruthlessly!

"Is this a difference between the races?" Regna thought helplessly, but since this was a barbarian's family matter, he did not interfere in the end.

......

The hunt lasted four days, and Regner returned to the great tribe of barbarians only in the afternoon of the fourth day. Compared with before the expedition, the number of barbarian hunting groups has decreased by nearly two percent, and on the contrary, they have gained a lot this time. Wolf meat, bear meat, rabbit meat, etc., according to Rego's explanation, this hunt can make the whole tribe no longer worry about food for ten days.

Although this is very encouraging news, not all the people of the Great Tribe are in high spirits. At the very least, Regner had seen many barbarian women or children cry tears of despair when they searched repeatedly and did not see the person in their hearts.

The collection of food and the collection of corpses were carried out at the same time, and Regner did not care at all how the barbarians distributed the food. Instead, he paid more attention to how the families of those who died in battle behaved when they received the bodies of the pillars of their families.

He looked at the mutilated corpse of the little savage, wanting to see how his family would react to such a sight.

It was a skinny woman. Of course, her thinness was evident in comparison to that of other savages. For even though she was a skinny woman among the savages, she was less than Regner.

And unexpectedly, this barbarian woman turned out to be a beauty by human standards. She has long, shiny black hair that is not often washed due to the environment, but the well-combed braids and shiny shine add to her charm.

As for the eyes and mouth, although they are not as delicate as Annelot, they are quite pleasing to the eye, so Regna thinks it is very rare to meet a beautiful woman in the barbarians.

Moreover, her clothes are also slightly different. In the barbarians, it is actually very common for women to bare their breasts. At least Regner glanced elsewhere now, and he could see a lot of round and plump breasts exposed to his sight.

In the beginning, Regner also had some physiological reactions because of these huge soft flesh. But over time, he got used to it.

But the savage woman did not reveal herself like the rest of her companions, and she wrapped herself so tightly that it seemed as if she had put on a cotton garment. Because this woman understands that only by dressing warmly can she save calories and save more food for her children.

But her children could no longer eat anything......

The barbarian woman visibly shuddered when she saw the corpse of the little barbarian, but she did not howl like the others. She just touched her child's forehead quietly, and then smiled while leaving a tear in her eyes.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Regner walked silently to the savage woman's side, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I wanted to save his ......"

Halfway through his speech, Regner realized that he was talking to a barbarian, most of whom only knew Dothraki except for exceptions like Rego.

Thinking of this, Regner couldn't help but scratch his hair, then looked up, ready to find a translator.

But to Regner's surprise, the barbarian woman said in a lingua franca that was purer than Rego's: "Thank you. ”

"Can you understand the lingua franca?" Regner couldn't help but be stunned.

"I ...... My mother was a human who was taken captive to the snowy plateau during the barbarian invasion. The woman explained as simply as she could.

"I see......" Regner realized why the woman was so thin, it turned out that she was not of pure barbarian blood. He looked at the woman, then bowed slightly.

"Your Excellency, ......" The woman also knew from the tribe that although the boy was not very old, he seemed to be a leader of the human representatives, so she called him Adult.

"I could have saved him, but I didn't......," Regner said in a deep voice.

"You are not to blame......" The woman shook her head, "my child, he must have been brave at the time, wasn't he?"

"Yes!" Regner quickly replied, "He's a very good fighter......! Just ......"

"......" The woman wiped her tears and said, "With this, it is enough, thank you." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she took the body of her child and left without looking back.

Regner looked at the woman's back, then opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say, so he had to let the woman go.

"Would you like to help her, boy?" Alex came over at some point.

"If it's just my gesture, it's nothing to help her. Regner replied with a sigh and a somewhat muffled voice.

"Well, let's wake up early tomorrow. Alex patted Regner on the shoulder, "But I think Rego will invite you to see the scene as well." ”
