Chapter 912: The Divine Tree
"Your, you're back!" Murria's mother Sida, who was preparing dinner for him, called out Muria's name with a smile!
"Hmm!" Muria nodded.
"Come and get ready for dinner! Your father is hunting a patterned tree python today! You can eat as much as you like today!"
"Abba, are you hurt?" Muria's gaze looked at the male Iku who was sitting next to him who was nursing the longbow in his hand, this was his father Batu, a standard adult Iku, with a cheerful personality and a penchant for hunting, but not a penchant for killing!
"It's just a little tree python, with the help of my partner, how can it hurt me?" Batu waved his hand a little absently when he heard his son's question.
"That's good!" Murria looked at his mother, who was holding a bone dagger and handling the python, a large snake with a body of nearly ten meters, but all seven inches of it had been torn apart, if nothing else, it was his father's fellow Blue Creek.
"Come and eat! Today's meat, you'll be satisfied. Hilda beckoned Muria to sit at the table, a stone with a faint golden glow, which was Muria's dining table.
Then, pieces of fresh, thinly sliced snake meat were placed on the stone in front of Muria, and the sound of roasting meat was heard, and the smell of meat wafted.
"Corona Stone!" that's what the Ikon people call this stone, which is similar to a small electric oven, and Muria knows, "there is no need for even flames!"
This is a miraculous stone that stores heat from the sun during the day, and at night, or when needed, the heat stored by the corona stone can be released in a specific way.
In front of you is an application of coronal stone, which heats raw and cold meat. This kind of stone is also one of the sources that hinder the development of the Iku civilization, not that this stone is bad, but for the Ikong people, the corona stone is too convenient, convenient enough to directly replace the status of fire.
The first primitive creatures controlled the flames, one was to drive away wild beasts, and the other was to heat food to reduce the likelihood of disease. These two effects of fire are quite chicken for the Iku people.
Needless to say, there is no need to drive away the beasts, and there are no powerful monsters in the Iku tribe that will invade at all. And ordinary monsters don't dare to approach the tribe of the Iku people at all.
In terms of heating food, only in terms of safety performance, the coronal stone that can release heat through special methods is much better than an uncontrollable flame, and there is no need to think about how to choose.
"This world is too spoiled by the Iku people!" Muriya didn't know how many times he sighed, this kind of magical stone, the difficulty of obtaining it, almost nothing, even if it was a child like him, as long as he went out and walked around, he could pick it up.
The real problem is that most of these stones are irregular and require some polishing to make them look the way they want them to be, but that's not a problem at all compared to its convenience.
There are many problems with the Ikong civilization, and they are very serious, but this is the conclusion that Muria has come to from a neutral point of view. From the point of view of the Iku, there is no doubt that there is nothing wrong with their civilization, because they don't need to worry about any material troubles, and it is good to just maintain the status quo.
"Forget it, I can't care so much now, let's fill my stomach first!" "Muria, who was thinking about how to lead the Iku civilization born in peace, was pulled back to reality by the hunger in her belly.
It's empty to talk about anything now, let him fill his stomach first, and then talk about it, and only when he is full will he have the strength to do the rest. He's a doer, not a dreamer.
Thinking of this, Muria picked up his homemade chopsticks, picked up the snake meat that had been grilled on the corona stone table, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it in his stomach.
What does it taste like? Muria's assessment is that it can be eaten. That's all, after all, with the current level of civilization of the Ikong people, they can't play too many tricks, and at most they just pick some seasoning plants and spread them on the grilled meat.
The corners of his eyes twitched when he noticed that his child was beginning to eat, unlike other people, he went out hunting on average one day every two days, and his hunting frequency was much higher than that of his own kind.
The reason for this is that his son is very fond of meat, and he eats so much that he needs to spare half of his leisure time to go hunting.
And at this point, Batu doesn't have too many complaints, it's a good thing that his son can eat, and he can't afford to raise it. In addition, his son is inherently special from the average Ikor, and your is born very strong, and his development level far exceeds that of the Iku people of the same age.
Batu is naturally very happy about this situation, and every qualified father hopes that his children can achieve achievements beyond themselves. And that's the meaning of inheritance, one generation is stronger than the next.
"Eat slowly, this snake is big, it's enough for you for this meal!" Seeing Muria's gobbling up posture, holding a bone knife, Sida smiled skillfully and cutting snake meat.
"Hmm!" Muria nodded at her mother's words, slowing down slightly. In fact, he can eat faster, because the blood qi operation method he drummed up when he was bored before he was born gave him a very good foundation.
This is not the reason why Muria's appetite is so terrifying, the real reason is because Muria has tailored a set of breathing methods for himself to refine his body according to the rules of this world to strengthen his body.
And at this stage, with his ability, the only way to get nutrition for his body is to eat, which is why Muria's food is so terrifying, it has exceeded the daily needs of a normal adult Iku.
Belch~~
When the sun had completely set, Muria's home was completely enveloped in the fluorescence released by the trees that supported the treehouse, and Muria sat down at the dining table, burping very comfortably.
And after hearing Muria burp, his parents Batu and Hilda were quietly relieved, and the reason for Batu's relief was because if Muria didn't eat enough, it meant that the amount of prey he brought back this time was not enough, and next time, he needed to hunt bigger beasts. And the reason why Hilda breathed a sigh of relief was because she was tired.
"Have you eaten enough today?"
"Eat enough!" Muria smiled and rubbed his belly, the snake meat he had just eaten was quickly broken down into nutrients and transported to all parts of his body, thanks to the breathing method he had tailored for his body.
Of course, compared to when he had just eaten, the speed of decomposition was much slower now, after all, although his breathing method was exquisite, his body also had a limit.
"If you're full, you can go and rest, and of course, you can go out and play with your friends if you want!"
"No, I'm going to sleep!" Muria picked up a soft leaf, wiped the oil from her mouth, and prepared to leave the treehouse. From beginning to end, his parents didn't eat, and Muria didn't ask, he was used to it.
Because his parents had already eaten before he came back, not eating with their son was a unique feature of their family, no way, Muria was too good to eat, and if he sat down to eat with him, his parents would most likely starve, so they ate separately.
"Oh, by the way, Abba, are you in danger of your life when you're out hunting?" asked Muria, who was just about to leave the treehouse, when she suddenly paused and turned back.
"Life-threatening danger?" Batu looked up and looked at his son with some confusion, "Of course not. ”
"No, but the Great Elder told me that there are many powerful monsters in the wild, such as horned armored beasts, nightblade leopards, and bloodthirsty ants...... Muria said the names of more than a dozen monsters that the Great Elder told her in one breath, "The Great Elder said that these can cause danger to the lives of adult Ikuren, is the Great Elder lying to me? There are no such creatures in the wild." ”
"Of course the Great Elder didn't lie to you, I have indeed seen these monsters in the wild. Batu stroked his black hair, "They do have the power to threaten our lives, but as long as we don't provoke them, these monsters won't bother us." ”
"I won't pay attention to you, and I won't attack when I see it?"
"That's right, as long as you don't attack them, they won't attack you!"
"This ......" Muria's lips moved to say something, but she couldn't say it, what is this?
"Do you have any more questions you'd like to ask?" asked Sida, looking at her son, smiling
"I wondered, why is there no strong ...... For example, creatures like the Charm come to occupy our tribe, our tribe is so special!" asked Muria, confused.
"Hahaha, your, the reason why there are no legendary monsters like the Phantom to invade our tribe is because of the protection of the Divine Tree!"
"What is the Sacred Tree?" Muria's eyes lit up, and he got a new piece of information.
"You'll know this later, don't ask too much now, go to bed!" Unfortunately, his parents didn't explain it to him, and their words were full of respect for the sacred tree.
"Okay!" Seeing his parents who didn't want to talk, Muria nodded helplessly, and then walked out of the treehouse, he didn't live with his parents at night, he had his own treehouse.
