Chapter 35: The Red Night is Coming
Lin Youlu climbed to the top of her makeshift cave, and the wind blew through her hair.
The temperature felt by the exposed skin seemed to be getting hotter, at least warmer than in the forest.
Looking over the pergola with your hands, in addition to the wind-eroded mountains like humps, some small hills rise and fall, and the bleak grass is long, and the scenery where you can see it has changed from bright light yellow to brown and red now.
Turning his head to look at the sky, two huge celestial bodies, one red and one white, were already approaching the horizon, and the sky had become much darker.
Ever since she left the forest, she had been observing, and the positions of the two celestial bodies had been shifting. Hanging directly above his head when he first came out of the forest, according to the 24-hour chronological method, the two celestial bodies had moved a considerable distance in the past few days.
glanced at the shadow he cast on the ground, and he was already stretched out.
"There should be a night in this world!" The girl muttered.
Jumping from the top of a high wind-eroded mountain, the body arches slightly and the knees are bent when landing to reduce the concussion of the impact on the body.
Licking her somewhat dry lips, the girl went into the hole, holding a bowl of animal bones, and took two sips of it, and put the rest back on the flat slate.
The corners of the cave had been cleared by her, and several flat stones were laid on them, and several animal bones shaped like bowls and plates were placed on them, each of which was filled with water.
In addition, there was a huge basin made of animal bones, which was also filled with water.
She also made a water bag out of a calf bone.
These bones were all removed from the skeleton of the creature killed by the Sand Fish Clan, and they were used to the fullest. The conditions are limited, there is no household belongings or anything, she has to use her brain to do it herself!
Fortunately, she has not been a delicate girl since she was a child, although her grandparents doted on her, but they did not spoil her to know nothing and nothing, on the contrary, she would encourage her to do it herself.
An hour ago, she went to the underground cavern to fetch water, and she thought that there would be some creatures entrenched in the underground cavern, but to her surprise, there were no terrifying creatures found below, only some small and timid vegetarian creatures, but she was so frightened that they fled everywhere.
When she walked down the cave to the end, there was an underground river below, she didn't enter the water, the temperature below was very low, and she only filled it with water and left.
Although there were no terrifying creatures in the cave for the time being, she always felt that the cave was not a safe place, so she fetched a lot of water to store it.
According to her reasoning, if she only had three days left in this world, then the reserve of water would be enough for her to live.
But the food was gone, and there was not much meat she had peeled from the skeleton of the beast, and she had already eaten it before going to fetch water a few hours ago, just in case she had enough strength.
With the beast bone water bag on her back, she planned to find the location of the Shayu tribe, and the Shayu tribe would inevitably hunt for food.
Rather than risk hunting a creature with a disparity in strength to her, she felt it safer to go to the Sandfish Clan to get something to eat!
Of course, she also made traps around her cave, and if small creatures passed by, they might fall into the trap, but the chances were too small for her to be one of her sources of food, and she couldn't put all her hopes on this trap.
Try to avoid areas where there are large footprints on the ground to avoid encountering large creatures.
Although there are also small new creatures that can hunt, but she is alone, and she has no bow and arrows, and her speed is not fast enough to catch up with those small creatures, and she feels that hunting is even more impractical.
Three hours later, she really saw the tribe of the sandfish tribe, which was easy to find!
On a huge wind-eroded mountain, there are large and small caves, and some of them are still sitting at the mouth of the sand fish.
After observing it from a distance, Lin Youlu planned to take a closer look.
Just as she was about to act, her mental power suddenly sensed movement nearby, and she immediately lay on the back of the hill in the wild grass to reduce her sense of presence.
Immediately she saw several sand fish tribes, hurrying to her side from a distance, but not at her, but next to the hill where she was hiding, there was a road that led to the huge wind-eroded mountain over there.
Lin Youlu hid in the wild grass and didn't dare to move, and even his breathing was as weak as possible.
Fortunately, the group of sandfish didn't notice her, and they talked as they walked.
“…… There is still a god fruit left for the sacrifice, and we can't find the little beast who stole the god fruit, how can we go back and pay the difference? ”
"Qiu, we're going to be eaten by the Yakshas, right? I don't want to die......"
"Okay, don't cry, the red night hasn't come yet! Maybe the river's team caught that little brute! ”
"I don't have hope, Qiu you haven't found any trace of that little beast, how can the river find it!"
"Damn, where the hell did that little beast come from, I've never seen that creature, where to find it!"
“…… Qiu, I have an idea, why don't we escape? ”
"Shhhhhh If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll dispose of you! ”
The wooden mound trembled and stopped talking.
However, several other sandfish seem to have the same meaning.
A sand fish clan with black markings on his back stood up, looked at Qiu and said: "Qiu, the choice of the next patriarch, we all support you, but there are not enough sacrifices to sacrifice to the Yaksha clan, the patriarch will definitely throw us out as sacrifices, it doesn't matter if I live or not, I just ask you to protect my son!" ”
Qiu was silent for a moment and said, "Go back first, if the river finds that beast, we can survive the red night safely." ”
After speaking, Qiu led a group of sandfish who supported it and walked towards the huge wind erosion mountain, not speaking again all the way.
Sensing the sound of those footsteps far away, Lin Youlu got up from the wild grass.
Red Night? Yakshas?
Looking at the celestial bodies in the sky that were getting closer and closer to the horizon, Lin Youlu's back was a little cold, it seemed that she guessed wrong, the Shayu Clan is not the master of this world, the Yaksha Clan is!
After thinking for a moment, the girl slipped down the hill and tried to get as close as possible to the great wind-eroded mountain in the inconspicuous place on the edge of the hill.
Seeing the life of these sandfish tribes, a primitive and simple picture unfolded in front of her eyes.
These sand fish tribes seem to implement a division of labor and cooperation system, some are responsible for standing guard and guarding, some are responsible for raising children, some are responsible for storing food, drying dried meat, melons and fruits, etc., and some sand fish people go in and out, responsible for hunting, gathering, etc., which seems to be chaotic, but it is also a little orderly.
She thought that the sandfish people didn't eat food other than meat, but she didn't expect that there were melons and fruits.
After observing for a while, she noticed that the team of five sandfish was about to go out hunting, and she planned to follow.
The Shayu tribe was heavily guarded, and she couldn't find a chance to get food, so she could only temporarily change her strategy, follow the hunting team, and maybe lick the box.
