Chapter Forty-Eight: Heavy Taste (Third Update, Ask for Recommendation!) )
Footsteps? Person?
Guo Sen excitedly turned his gaze to the direction of the footsteps, and sure enough, he saw a group of humanoids.
After seeing their looks, Guo Sen couldn't help but pout.
Although he was used to complaining about the strange appearance of the intelligent creatures on his sphere, the impact of this time still made him a little unacceptable.
It was an upright walking humanoid with a sheep's head and short brown fur.
Brown eyes and horizontal pupils, slender face covered with short brown hair, long ears pulled down from above, triangular nose like a black stone embedded in the face, open and close.
Some of them also have two half-moon-like horns on their heads, which adds a strange atmosphere.
Guo Sen looked at their limbs, where they should have been hooves, and what grew out of them was a palm with three slender fingers, and the same was true under their feet, which looked even more weird.
Guo Sen also noticed that even though they had fine hair on their bodies, they still wore simple clothes woven from wide leaves, which looked nondescript.
Sheep people? Sheep monster?
Guo Sen didn't know what to call this creature, which seemed to be the result of a combination of human and sheep genes, especially when he saw them grabbing a piece of dried meat and sending it to their mouths, revealing their tiger-like teeth.
Sheep eat meat?
Guo Sen thought he was wrong. But isn't what they eat is meat with bones?
Unable to complain, he looks like a cat and eats meat like a sheep.
This...... Forget it, Guo Sen doesn't want to say anything strange about the evolutionary tree.
The ones in the sea are stranger than they are.
If it comes, it will be safe.
I'm used to being numb, you can grow as long as you want, and I'll look at it casually.
The sheep had neither weapons nor tools in their hands, so they walked into the stone house with a big grin, and after Guo Sen followed in, he suddenly found that they were actually licking that kind of thing like crystal!
Looking at the way they squinted their eyes and smacked their tongues while licking, Guo Sen suddenly remembered, could this crystalline thing be rock salt?
He couldn't help but look at a sheep man who was licking it, and stretched out his slender tongue.
Damn, I want to be salty!
Guo Sen, who tasted the taste immediately, couldn't help but shudder.
These sheep people are very heavy!
Sure enough, it's rock salt!
When the presence of God was lifted, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared.
Guo Sen looked at the sheep man still licking the salt, completely unaware of being sent by God, and closed his eyes as if he was enjoying it abnormally.
What he looked at in the sheepman's hand was indeed meat, but it was not the roasted meat he imagined, it was more like cured meat, or a kind of dried meat.
Looking up to the roof, Guo Sen found some of the dried slices of meat that he hadn't noticed before, and they were covered with a thin layer of white crystals.
That, without a doubt, is salt.
They actually rub salt on the meat.
Guo Sen was extremely curious about this.
Humanoids with a sense of seasoning, how far has civilization progressed?
After eating the meat and licking the salt, the sheep began to assemble outside, and then, along a path, in the direction of a cliff.
Guo Sen was a little puzzled, what was there?
He looked closer, and the bottom of the cliff was empty, bare, and not a single grass had grown.
What are they doing there? Square dancing?
However, it was only when he saw that the sheep were beginning to climb the steep rock wall that Guo Sen understood why they had come here.
But what's on the cliff?
A deep green.
It was a continuous stretch of grassland, and an unusually neatly groomed, low, wooden fence almost the same color as the grassland......
Wait, wooden fences?
Guo Sen realized that something was wrong.
Does this place have a wooden fence? Still so short? What the hell is it for?
The sheep climbed to the top of the cliff and then stepped into the wooden fence.
Suddenly, the dense grassland, less than half a meter high, rippled like a pebble thrown into a pond.
A large number of animals with gray fur poked their heads out of the grass and nervously surveyed their surroundings.
Guo Sen looked closely and found that it was an animal with a small round head and teeth as neat as cattle and sheep.
Their largest is more than 30 centimeters long, with a very short tail, round up and down, and a pair of small eyes like black beans.
Guo Sen also noticed that after the little animals were nervous for a while, they hid in a messy nest made of sticks and branches.
The sheep circled around and jumped out of the fence.
What are they going to do?
Isn't this fence to be a place for a new place to live? These little animals are all in there, why don't you get rid of them?
With these doubts, Guo Sen continued to follow the trail of the sheep man.
Not far from here is a large area of sparse bushes.
The purpose of the sheep is the same, Guo Sen saw that after they entered, they kept busy.
Is it time to eat the fruit?
Many of the shrubs bear plump red fruits.
Don't you eat not only meat but also fruit...... It's a bit like humans now, they eat everything.
Sure enough, the sheep came out of it with countless fruits in their hands.
Then he saw that the sheep were back on the wooden fence, and then they jumped in and threw the fruit into it.
The little round animals immediately came out and frantically grabbed the fruit and feasted on it.
Guo Sen suddenly realized.
Could it be ......
Looking at the current scene, Guo Sen also understands that the sheep people have mastered the civilization of "captivity".
In other words, it is to master the most primitive "breeding" technology.
The little animals that were munching on the fruit in the fence did not seem to shy away from the sheep at all, and kept going around them.
After they have eaten and drunk enough, they return to the nest with the rest of the fruit in their mouths and feed them to the chirping chirps inside.
From time to time, the sheep walked around the small animal's nest, pinching some with those three fingers, observing them and then putting them back.
However, Guo Sen also saw that the sheep finally grabbed some bigger and fatter ones and jumped out of the fence.
The sheep man, who returned to the vicinity of the Gobi stone house, quickly took out the stone blade, and after killing the animal, he peeled off the fur, shaved off the bones, and unloaded the bloody pieces of flesh, and his movements were extremely skillful.
Then they took some rock salt from the stone hut, smashed it into pieces with stones, and smeared it on top of the meat.
The hornless sheep man put the meat on the roof of the stone house to dry.
Guo Sen watched it for a long time, and finally figured out the specific degree of civilization of this sheep tribe.
They don't know how to use fire, they don't have any decent tools, let alone the technology of metal smelting.
In addition, it can be farmed and can be easily pickled and seasoned.
This sheep clan is really weird.
Let's not talk about how the sheep-headed human body evolved and why it eats meat, Guo Sen wants to understand one more thing, that is, these guys are not extinct?
The population base of the tribe is too small, and it is even a fight with the white wolf clan that was almost killed;
Civilization basically stayed at the very beginning of the Stone Age;
Eat so much salt and pickled products every day, won't you get high blood pressure and heart disease?
In every respect, civilization is at an extremely low level.
If you have to intervene -
Fire, cooked meat, pottery, metallurgy, rope making, transportation......
It seems that there is more to do than those lizardmen in the first place!
Do you really want to guide them one by one?
Such a backward sheep tribe has not perished yet, and it is estimated that there is no more powerful tribe......
He decided to look for it again in other parts of the Gobi, and this civilization was really terrible.
If it is true that no other civilization can be found, then reconsider.
