Chapter 6: The Female Corpse by the River
By the time Liu Zhi woke up from his meditation, the sky was already bright.
Feeling the slightest vitality in his body, he couldn't help but smile, the results achieved by this spirit transformation were quite remarkable, if it continued like this, even if he couldn't find a gathering place, it would only take about half a month to complete the awakening.
Twisting his neck and standing up, Liu Zhi found that the bonfire had been extinguished, only the heat was still dissipating, and Fang Shaochuan and Ye Yun on the side were each leaning on a rock, in an awkward posture, still asleep.
Because the firewood was almost burned out, Liu Zhi had to wake up the two and send them to collect firewood nearby, while he went to the edge of the forest and dug up two wild vegetables that he had eaten in his previous life.
Breakfast is still boiled fish, although wild vegetables are added to it, the taste is not much better, Fang Shaochuan and Ye Yun can't eat the excitement they had when they were hungry yesterday, on the contrary, they seem a little sluggish because of lack of sleep.
This scene made Liu Zhi frown slightly, and secretly decided that when he woke up in the morning, he had to let Fang Shaochuan run and exercise, and then teach him some simple fighting skills, otherwise even if he helped him complete his awakening, he would not be able to effectively control and exert his strength.
After all, this process requires a long period of speculation and accumulation.
After hastily having breakfast, Liu Zhi put the bag on his back, Fang Shaochuan held the porcelain jar, and the three of them set off again.
Walking along the river beach is a way for Liu Zhi to kill two birds with one stone, because of the existence of the hundred-clawed thorn ball, most of the large fierce beasts in the burial mountain range will not choose to come to this river to drink, and humans do not know this, if you want to get a fixed water source, you must be the first to find springs, streams, rivers and other places, in addition, picking wild fruits and collecting dew is also a way, but after all, it can only be relieved for a while.
Moreover, there are many rocks by the river, and if you want to build stone tools, going to the river to find stones is undoubtedly the quickest way, which Liu Zhi believes many people know.
I don't know how long to walk, Liu Zhi found that the surrounding terrain gradually became open, the peaks on both sides tended to be flat, and the trees were no longer dense, which made him feel a shock, according to the experience of the previous life, this should be a relatively rare flat land in the mountains, usually by the river rising, and after years of erosion, this kind of place, in the early stage of the crossing is very suitable for human survival, because there are generally natural caves washed out nearby.
"Brother Zhi, if we go on like this, when will we be able to get out of this mountain?" Fang Shaochuan asked on the side, he didn't know that Liu Zhi was looking for a gathering place, and thought that he was walking so aimlessly in order to leave the mountain.
"I don't know, maybe a year and a half." Liu Zhi replied casually, looking left and right, looking for traces of human activity nearby.
"Really, is it really going to take that long? Won't we all be savages then? Fang Shaochuan took a light breath, and then comforted himself and said: "Fortunately, with the two of you by your side, there is always someone to talk to, otherwise even if you can get out of here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to speak." ”
Ye Yun said softly: "I don't know what the outside of the mountain looks like?" ”
Hellish world...... Liu Zhi was mentioned by her like this, and couldn't help but think of more than three years of demon fighting field career, that was a period when there was really no hope, all human beings were treated like pigs and dogs by the Yan Clan, maybe it was too much to describe pigs and dogs, on the earth, the lives of many pigs and dogs were a hundred times better than them.
"I think it's similar to our ancient times, but I don't know if we can understand what they say." Fang Shaochuan said with a smile.
"Do you think we're just traveling to ancient times?" Ye Yun said.
"Isn't this possible, how could there be that kind of big-headed monster fish in ancient times, and the monster like the water ball you said, cough, and most importantly, have you heard of two suns in ancient times?" Fang Shaochuan pointed to the sky.
"Hou Yi shoots the sun! Maybe he's only shot eight suns now, and he's still one sun! Ye Yun boldly expanded the association.
Eh, Fang Shaochuan was speechless, he originally wanted to say that it was a mythical story, but since such bizarre things have appeared, it seems very logical that the mythical story has become real.
The discussion between the two did not continue at this point, because Liu Zhi suddenly stopped.
"You two stay here first, don't run around." He gave them a word, then untied his backpack and water bladder, carried a baseball bat, and walked briskly towards the river.
"Eh, Brother Zhi......" Fang Shaochuan was very surprised, his eyes followed Gu Han's route, and he saw something lying quietly on the edge of the river beach, and immediately swallowed it back when it reached the edge of his mouth, and flashed with horror.
It was a corpse, to be precise, the corpse of a woman, wearing a white dress, the upper body had been dyed blood red, and a pool of blood flowed down the body into the river, as if a red blood band was connected between the corpse and the river, because it was too far away, Fang Shaochuan couldn't see the specific situation clearly, of course, he didn't want to see it clearly at all.
Liu Zhi stopped three or four steps away from the corpse, the corpse was less than half a meter away from the river, which was the attack range of the hundred-clawed thorn ball, and he didn't dare to rush in.
From this distance, he carefully looked around, the corpse's head and most of the right shoulder had been eaten away, and the left hand was missing, it seemed that she was attacked by a wild fish when she was drinking water by the river, the position she chose was not very good, it was a place with deep water, and the water quality was also quite turbid, which was conducive to the hiding of wild fish.
Eyes downward, there are several dark red finger prints on the ankles, it should be that when she was attacked, her companion grabbed her in time, but unfortunately she was a step too late, and her head was gone when she pulled it back, and her companion was frightened and fled in a hurry.
Counting the footprints by the river, there were five pairs, three men and two women, and the direction of escape was the woods, which meant that the gathering place was likely to be nearby, and at this stage, the chances of five people getting together were too small.
beckoning Fang Shaochuan and the others to follow, Liu Zhi followed the traces left by the four of them and pursued them all the way.
In his previous life, his tracking ability was very good, and he played an important role many times when fighting in the field with other human city-states or tribes, but now that he has lost his powerful perception, his rich experience and various tracking skills that he is familiar with will not change, and the four of them are flustered, and the traces left are very obvious, so he didn't have to make much effort to find them at all.
As Liu Zhi expected, these four people are three men and one woman, the eldest of the three men, should be about forty years old, with a flat head, a beer belly, thick black skin, and a rather vicious look.
The other two men were both in their early twenties, one with an ugly face, thick lips, three corners of the eyes, and skinny; The other is a talent, tall and strong, with a very strong body, but he is too cool, with a floral shirt, beach pants, and no shoes on his feet, probably on vacation at the beach before the crossing.
The only woman in her thirties is mediocre, looking dressed like an ordinary housewife.
