Chapter 888: Tribe 1

Leaving the Ambiqi Mountains and entering the sea of grass is not the same as embarking on a safe road.

This sea of grass, named "Wolf's Tooth Plain", is the hunting ground of the Wolftooth tribe and its vassal communities, in which there are enough prey beasts to supply tens of thousands of demons for long-term survival, of course, the most ferocious and most powerful in it is the wolf.

Hunting and being hunted is a compulsory course for every life here from birth.

The most lush weeds in the sea of grass are generally knee-high, deep and thick, with roots digging deep into the ground.

According to Lukes, the sea of grass is divided into dry season and rainy season, which coincides with the transition from dry season to rainy season, the first heavy rain has already fallen a few days ago, and the rainy season with abundant precipitation will arrive in half a month at the latest.

But even after a rain or two, the sea of grass has already changed from the dry season to dry up, and can't wait to change to green.

Lukes was not surprised, he said that with just one rain, a sea of grass could grow ankle-high grass overnight.

In the arid autumn and winter, the grass is withered and yellowed, and even the tenacious and ferocious grass sea wolves have to migrate with the water source and migrate back again after the change of seasons.

This seasonal migration also exacerbates the impact of the animal tide from the open sea to the inland sea every spring.

The living environment here is undoubtedly harsh, and in the depths of this endless sea of grass, even plants have evolved a fierce instinct for meat eaters.

Lin An once witnessed a member of a mountain hunting team inadvertently stepping into a piece of grass that was no different from the surroundings while chasing prey.

The grass that was originally quiet and swaying in the wind suddenly erupted a puff of red mist, and the demon wolf knight weighing at least two tons together with the demon wolf under his crotch slammed and fell into the grass!

He had companions by his side, threw out the rope of rescue, and when the demon wolf roared to the ground and threw the owner out of his body, he put it on the waist of the demon wolf knight, but it was only a few moments slower, and when the demon wolf knight was pulled out of the grass, his flesh and blood were already blurred below his crotch, and his calves even showed white bones.

And the demon wolf, who had never forgotten the Savior, fell directly into the grass, without even struggling, the grass trembled a few times, making a seeping and sticky sound, and then quieted down.

Lin Anxin was shocked.

Dangers lurk in this sea of grass, and situations like being entangled in insects and carnivorous plants have repeatedly occurred.

Beings who are not familiar with the habits and distribution of this sea of grass enter here, and if they want to reach the wolf tooth tribe located in the depths of the sea of grass safely, they have to use their lives to build and carve out a path.

In this case, for example, the loss of combat effectiveness of a demon wolf knight caught Lukes' attention, and after some investigation, it was confirmed that this small grass grew naturally after the rainy season arrived.

This carnivorous grass bears a striking resemblance to the most common type of kira, with a hint of red in the veins, and is a variant of the kira, making it an extremely hidden trap.

This trap is one of the most common and dangerous traps in the sea of grass.

After waiting for Lux's results to be surveyed, the hunting party got his decision to sprinkle some kind of botanical solution that Lux had given him, causing the small patch of carnivorous grass to quickly wither and die.

Beside Lux, a young mountaineer respectfully took out a pen and paper made of charcoal and animal skins, and wrote down the grass word by word under Lux's statement, and the animal skin scrolls also drew intricate lines and maps.

This is not the first time Lin An has seen Lux record these messages so carefully.

On the contrary, Lux sometimes asks the mountain people to exterminate the carnivorous plants that caused the loss, and sometimes he only tries to save people, turning a blind eye to the carnivorous plants that cause the loss.

Lin An was very strange about this difference in attitude.

At first, she thought that Lux was running out of materials and that there was not much left of the medicine that exterminated carnivorous plants, but when she encountered three mutations of the same kind of Kira grass, Lux only destroyed the first and third bushes, and did not move the second bush, she realized that the reason was not what she thought.

But Lin An didn't ask directly, just silently observed and collected information, and finally came to the real answer from the information of the mountain people:

What Lux destroys are wild carnivorous plants, and what is left behind is artificially planted and disseminated.

In an instant, Lin An immediately understood the meaning of the existence of these life-annihilating grasses.

Imagine if this sea of grass was full of grass seeds of Kira grass mutations.

They are not only hunters who devour life, but also shields and scouts for the demon population in the sea of grass that survives, and they are the defense line that spreads the sea of grass everywhere.

Tong guò is an irregularly distributed plant hunter, and in this sea of grass where there are far more demonic beasts than demons, the wolftooth tribe can truly become the ruler rather than the prey.

And Lin An also understood the value of the animal skin scroll recorded by Lux, which was related to the future reproduction and survival of this group of mountain people, and it was no less than an artifact for the mountain people.

It is no wonder that when the mountain maiden took out the animal skin scroll and asked Lux to write a record on it, the surrounding mountain people watched Lukes' every move and the animal skin scroll with that kind of awe and careful eyes.

Lin An's mood was also a little shocked.

The Demon Realm living environment refreshes her worldview again and again.

She didn't have the experience of Lux to be able to tell whether carnivorous plants were cultivated artificially or wild—this was the essence of Lux's life's experience, and she didn't even know which plants were dangerous, which even demon children knew, and she seemed to be far from meeting the conditions to survive independently in this world.

The future was overshadowed, and Lin An was not hit, but he was more careful to observe and collect every bit of information that could be gathered.

On the first night of entering the sea of grass, the migratory party of the mountain people finally camped for the first time.

At the same time, the camping party was also attacked by a former wolf pack.

Lin An learned from the scolding and shouting of some of the replaced mountain people that the attack was not a sudden encounter.

This group of hundreds of protowolves has been behind the migration team for most of the day, chasing the smell and traces left by the migration team for more than ten miles, and has not launched an attack until the team camps and sleeps after nightfall.

Luckily, the mountaineers and Lux were not inexperienced.

On the way out of the mountain, the migration team hardly stops to rest, so the first night out of the foothills is often the time when the mountain people are most tired and relaxed.

“…… Seeing clearly, the proto-wolf is cunning and good at cooperating, and can even consciously form a formation and attack like a wave......"

Lukes was surrounded by three or five young men and women, pointing and imparting experience to the battle on the outskirts of the camp.

"You see that those wolves have shriveled stomachs, and they have been hungry for at least two or three days, but they can endure hunger and sneak attack until night, which means that there must be a very authoritative head wolf among them, not a temporary patchwork of wolf tides, otherwise, the wolf king will definitely not be able to completely suppress all the male wolves, and there will definitely be a team that provokes us during the day, exposing the traces of the wolves, and they will not follow so secretly......"

A few teenagers are the priest seeds that Lux fancies, and they have the opportunity to be picked, and Lukes sees them as the future of the race, and the traditions and survival skills of the mountain people are passed down through guò words and deeds.

And Lux has now lost his status as a priest and can no longer recommend candidates, so he can only hope that one of them will be valued by the priests of the Wolf Tooth Tribe.

It was about whether the mountain people could take root in the Wolf Tooth Tribe, so Lux was extremely nervous, even at the urgent moment when the tribe was attacked by the wolves, he still took them with him while directing the battle, so as to demonstrate and pass on the experience.

Lin An, who had changed his appearance and outfit, was mixed in.

The codex in the space recorded a disguised mask called "The Illusion of Aegis", and Lin An really found this strange object that was said to come from the Holy See in the space, which was where her confidence in front of Lux was that she could hide her true face.

According to the content of the codex, Lin An knew that the essence of "Aegis's illusion" was to cover the body of the disguised person with a layer of illusion, which would not affect the real dress and face, so he asked Lux to find a set of leather skirts worn by mountain girls.

Unexpectedly, the robe on his body could not be taken off, to be precise, it could be taken off, but it could not be put into the space, once it was more than three zhang away from the body, the robe would automatically return to Lin An.

Lin An realized that this robe might be an extremely important piece of equipment, so he quickly looked for the codex, and only then did he get part of the content of the robe, and he also learned about the storage of the traverser's fellow villagers.

Intermittent memory fragments came one after another, Lin An vaguely seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and his heart moved unintentionally, the robe automatically shrunk into the style of hot pants and small vests, and the color also changed to yellow-green, and the silver lines on the surface were hidden.

Bringing the mountain people's unique animal skin rope and straw bracelet, the "Illusion of Aegis" is covered with another layer of illusion, and the appearance is no longer flawed, including the long pointed ears, the skin with fine scales, and even the scars on the skin.

So much so that if Lux hadn't been told in advance, he would almost not dare to recognize Lin An.

Lin An's new identity is Lux's attendant, and after Lux's advice, although the mountain people looked at this girl with a strange face, no one asked her identity.

The mountain people are closed and exclusive, as long as they are not very familiar with the internal situation of the mountain people, it must not be easy for the mountain people to stay away from this maid who follows Lux.

With Lin An by his side, Lux didn't dare to take the lead again.

After that, the mountain people suffered two more herds, one was with thousands of huge bighorn oxen, and the migratory team began to hide from a distance, and several camel beasts fell behind and could not dodge, and were swept into the herd and trampled into minced meat, and the herd passed by the migratory team;

The second time was the day before they saw the location of the Wolf Tooth Tribe, and the mountain people were attacked by the original wolf pack again, this time a mixture of several groups, and the number was also doubled compared to the first time.

While the mountain people were trying their best to resist, the back of the wolves was attacked by the patrol team of the Wolf Tooth tribe.
