Volume 1, Dongyi Tribe 2
Most of the natural environment is often just a basic obstacle on the road to difficulty, and it is the foundation...
The Taiyun Mountains are known for their hardships and dangers in the entire Eastern Regions, and the southern foot of the mountains is the most of them, so this place is sparsely populated, and most of the villages and tribes are gathered in the west near the Central Plains, not to mention the mountains and mountains, and the mountains are surrounded by mountains, experienced hunters may get lost, and the poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains are not vegetarians, and if they accidentally break into their territory and disturb them, it will be very bad.
Mu San had already figured out the direction he was going to go in an instant.
Suddenly, there was a wild beast's roar in the distance, followed by a loud "click", like the sound of trees being broken, and the sound of rain outside could not hide it.
Although Mu San is young, his perennial insistence on exercising has not only made him develop a pair of sharp eyes, but also made his ears extremely sensitive.
He immediately opened his eyes, leaned his back against the stone wall behind him, drew his longbow, mounted the feather feather arrow, and fixed his eyes on the place where the voice came.
At this time, Mu San suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him, and the secret sound was not good, could it be that there was a new situation in this cave?
His face changed slightly, and now he didn't know the situation, and he couldn't be attacked on his back.
When it was too late, he put away his bow and arrows, put them on his back, drew out his short knife, put it in his mouth, and ran towards the ancient sandalwood tree in front of him in three steps and two steps.
"Whoosh" a few times to climb to the first branch of the ancient tree, stand up, stab the short knife into the position beside him, remove the longbow, lean against the trunk, and hide his body.
The rain dripped down the branches, wetting Kizo's face, and he didn't move.
The "trembling" sound of small gravel and weeds slowly came from the cave, and a big snake about three feet long raised half of its body and ran straight towards the entrance of the cave.
Sure enough, it was a red snake, the whole body was red, even the head was the same, like a fire, which was extremely rare.
The roar in the distance was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was coming towards it.
It didn't take long for a black bear to break through the wood, black all over, with shiny fur and a pinch of white hair on its chest.
It saw the red snake guarding the entrance of the cave, and it didn't stop, all the way like a bamboo, rampage in front of the red snake, and suddenly the person stood up, held his head high, roared at the red snake, and waved two thick bear paws with black hair towards the red snake.
Mu San gasped, looking at this pair of bear paws that were about the size of his own head, if this was filmed, the red snake might not be able to stand it, and secretly sweated for it in his heart.
It was too late, it was too fast, and the red snake lowered its head and dodged the slap of the bear's paw.
There was a "bang", and a very dull sound of slapping in the air came, this was not a celebratory applause, and the powerful impact force could only be caught by the thick meat pad in Xiong Zhen's palm.
The red snake didn't stop, the snake's head suddenly rushed forward, knocking Xiong Zhen to the ground, and then opened its big mouth, and its sharp fangs bit directly at the white hair on Xiong Zhen's chest, and its body quickly moved forward, pressing it to death.
Xiong Zhen just roared in pain, this pain is as common as a common thing for it, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with rough skin and thick flesh, although its size is not as huge as the red snake, but it is fat and fat, and the flesh is extremely strong, and there is no half fear.
Although he was knocked to the ground and had difficulty moving, he saw that he roared angrily, revealing his giant teeth, learning from the red snake, he opened his mouth and bit the body of the red snake, the sharp teeth continued to tear, and with the continuous slapping of both palms, the sharp claws grabbed a lot of scales around the red snake, and for a while blood gushed out, Mu San couldn't bear to look directly at the miserable appearance of the red snake.
But the red snake did not lose its strength, it tried to turn over and stand up several times, but it was pressed to the death and could not move, it seemed to be pressed under it, but in fact it had the upper hand.
Mu San was on the tree at this time, and it was not easy to intervene if he hesitated, so he could only wait and see what happened.
The elders of the village once said: Xiong Zhen is hard and hard, as long as he is not fatally injured, he can recover quickly, and the most terrible thing is that if he is injured, Xiong Zhen will greatly increase his combat strength because of his anger, and he will only attack brainlessly, and it will be more difficult to deal with when the time comes.
He hesitated slightly, the red snake had begun to show defeat, Xiong Zhen's strength was too great, it could only be suppressed by weight, but because it had been pressed under him, Xiong Zhen was already about to go berserk, every time he struck, the bear paw added three points of strength, and if it went on like this, the red snake could not support it for too long.
Sure enough, I don't know if it was crooked, Xiong Zhen swung out a palm, hitting the left eye of the red snake, and Mu San could clearly hear the popping sound of the eyeball on the tree.
Unable to stand the pain of the eye-burst, the red snake rolled on the spot, bringing down a large piece of flesh on Xiong Zhen's chest, blood splattered, and the jungle around him was smashed.
Xiong Zhen took advantage of the situation and struggled to get up, and the injury in his chest made it even more irritable.
It threw its head back and roared, and stood up again, stomping heavily on the red snake's head.
Mu San really couldn't bear to see the Red Snake defeated like this, and now he didn't dare to guarantee whether Xiong Zhen found himself, none of this mattered, just now he borrowed it at the door of the Red Snake for a while, accept your kindness, and repay your affection.
And if the red snake is killed, will he be safe hiding in a tree?
This kind of thinking made him make a choice quickly.
This arrow repays your affection, he opened his bow and set up an arrow in one go, the bow and arrow flashed into Xiong Zhen's left eye, and the fallen soles of his feet stepped heavily on the open ground, and the red snake escaped a catastrophe.
Xiong Zhen fell to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain, trying to pull out the arrow in his left eye, but he didn't dare to touch it, so it took a long time to get up and look in the direction of Mu San.
"It's broken, it's been discovered."
That's the worst-case scenario.
When he shot this arrow, Mu San had already felt it, although he shot Xiong Zhen in the left eye, but such an injury was not enough to kill it, Xiong Zhen showed its unique ability to survive, and at the same time he secretly regretted it, why didn't he take advantage of the situation to make up a few arrows just now?
is still too soft-hearted, and it takes time for God to have the virtue of a good life.
At this point, it was already on guard, and it was impossible to hit it with another arrow.
Mu San was a little flustered and took out a feather feather arrow again, he didn't dare to run, it was impossible for him to escape Xiong Zhen's pursuit in this jungle.
If he is close to Xiong Zhen, he may not even be able to withstand his blow, Xiong Zhen's huge size, only the Far Bow can bring him some security.
The world is impermanent, and what seems to be a fatal situation can sometimes take a turn for the better.
Just when Mu San was waiting for the opportunity to make a move, the red snake suddenly bullied forward again, and the snake bit one of Xiong Zhen's arms, the snake's head twisted, and he rolled to the ground with Xiong Zhen.
Then the body was tightly wound, like a spiral, wrapping the entire body of Xiong Zhen, and the roar of the bear shook the sky and could not break free.
As the red snake's body continued to shrink, the sound of "squeaking" was endless.
"When will you not send it now?"
The bow and arrow "swished" through the bear's jaw, and the tip of the arrow could be seen emerging from the mouth.
After a long time, with an unwilling roar, everything stopped.
The red snake was already at the end of its strong crossbow, and it was paralyzed as if it had completed its mission, exhausted its strength, and lay on the ground, accompanied by the corpse of the unwilling bear, and there was only the sound of rain in the forest.
Is this the survival law of jungle creatures?
Mu San sat on the branch, his tense nerves relaxed, and he felt a little more happy in his heart.
It's too dangerous, and the rain and cold sweat on my body are connected.
Thanks to the red snake's dying blow just now, whether it was intentional or not, it did save Mu Sanyi's life.
Red Snake traded his life for his life and summed up a valuable experience for him.
Mu San secretly made a wish in his heart:
May the Golden Crow God bless you Red Snake Clan, and I will no longer hunt your Snake Clan from now on.
Walking to the side of the red snake and looking at the two corpses that were entangled after death, Mu San was a little stunned:
Xiong Zhen may have come to track him, or he may have fought with the Red Snake for territory, but in the end, both of them were defeated, and even lost their lives, all of which were for survival.
Just as hunters hunt their prey for food, people fight for power, but the way of survival is different.
No matter how tragic the process is, in the end, only the winner can continue to survive, and future generations will not remember the wonderful process, but will only look at the results written by the winner, is this the way to survive?
The earth was stained red with blood and carried away by the rain, and only the miscellaneous bushes and broken trees were proof that there had been fierce battles here.
Unfortunately, it won't be long before these two corpses become food for the mouths of other beasts, and this may also be their last dedication to nature, and the last traces of the battle will slowly disappear with time.
Mu San no longer sighed, since he survived, he had to continue to look forward.
Looking at Xiong Zhen's body, he pulled out the arrow inserted in it, the meat was hard, and it could not be used for food, but the bear paw was indeed a rare delicacy, he used a short knife to cut off Xiong Zhen's two bear paws, and carefully peeled off the fur on Xiong Zhen's chest, and put it away closely.
Walking to the mouth of the cave, he probed inside to make sure that there were no other beasts in the cave, and then boldly entered the cave.
He also found some dry weeds and branches, and made a fire to roast one of the bear's paws, and replenished his strength first.
Looking up at the sky again, it seemed that the rain would not stop for a while.
He didn't stop any longer, he packed up his things, put on his hat, and continued his journey up the mountain.
There was no way to go up the mountain, so Mu San had to hold a short knife in his hand and slowly open the way, testing as he went, so the speed was not fast.
Occasionally, a few hares and foxes in the forest were alarmed, and they all desperately fled in all directions, which made Mu San feel that he was not alone.
Walking in the mountains and forests is most afraid of encountering poisonous insects, snakes and ants, fortunately, the Mu tribe has its own unique insect repellent and antidote drugs, Mu San has learned to identify herbs at a very young age, which is also the most indispensable thing in the forest, if you can find one or two natural creation of the divine grass spiritual things, although it can not make people reborn, wash the marrow and cut the tendons, but the poisonous insects do not invade or can.
Although the medicine is not strong in rainy days, this kind of weather also makes most of the poisonous insects, snakes and ants hide, so he is okay for the time being.
The road ahead became more and more difficult, and a rocky cliff blocked the way, protruding a large piece, like a giant man's bulging belly, he had to stop, because the mountain rock has been washed all year round, although it is steep and slippery, but it can also be climbed.
Although Mu San was more confident in his skills, but after looking at the height, he didn't want to fall into a meat patty, so he decided to be cautious, took out the bear skin, split it in two with a short knife, wrapped the bear skin around his shoes, and tied it tightly with a straw rope.
He flew up to the rock, grabbed a bulge with both hands, stepped on the soles of his feet firmly, moved upwards a little bit, and almost slipped and fell several times, and it took him more than half an hour to climb this distance, and his body was already drenched in sweat.
