Chapter Forty-Eight: Fight to the End
Remembering the children who had died in the last war, the leader turned his head away with a look of pain on his face.
He didn't want others to discover his painful expression.
The Red Flame Horn people do not shed tears physiologically, and it is impossible for them to remove precious water from their bodies in such a luxurious way. Just express your emotions by whining in your throat.
But as the leader of the entire tribe, he wouldn't do that.
There was silence in the cave.
After a long time, the chief asked the old man who was still drawing circles on the sand, "How long is there until the next King Kong attack?" How much population do we still have? ”
"Theoretically, there are 124 days left...... Maybe it's time for them to digest. And I deduced that the abundance of food led to the birth of young individuals, and some of them had enlarged abdomen, and the amount of food they ate last time was significantly increased...... This time interval may be shortened! ”
After answering the question, the old man, Ammid, drew a circle on the ground again. When he saw the circles and numbers on the ground, he seemed to be fascinated, and he forgot to answer the next question.
"Alas!" Hearing this not-so-good news, the leader sighed deeply and did not blame.
This wise man, named "Ammid", is the wisest individual in the entire tribe, and has survived for more than three hundred years.
He also gained a high status in the tribe because of his wisdom.
The tribe has always admired strength, but during that escape, it began to worship wisdom.
Jumping from island to island is not a simple task, because these islands are moving fast in space, not stationary. Although the Chiyanjiao people have excellent eyesight, the membranes in their eyes can form a telescope-like structure, and they also have certain innate instincts in their brains that can roughly estimate the trajectory of movement.
But instinct and concrete calculation are completely different things.
In those hundred years, the wise men invented weapons, invented mathematics and writing, and made the whole tribe stronger.
A year ago, because of the existence of this wise man, the Red Flame Horn people ...... Killed King Kong for the first time!
Recalling that battle, the chief still had lingering fears.
A huge King Kong fell into an elaborate trap, but it was impossible for such a trap to trap such an incredibly powerful species. And his bravest child, Kadia, is in a trap, fighting King Kong to the death.
The long tail was outlined on King Kong's body, and blood was splattering everywhere. The cry of madness implies the final despair...... Chief Gondor still remembers the child's roar before he died.
At this time, hundreds of rays of light fell from the sky, and the scorching sunlight was gathered into one point, and King Kong's eyes were directly destroyed!
The warrior died in battle and will never be resurrected.
But the entire tribe harvested a King Kong as a trophy, which is already an epic victory!
Recalling the tragedy of the child's death, slowly, the chief's eyes began to harden.
He knew very well that it was now a critical moment for the survival of the entire tribe. If King Kong breeds more individuals due to the abundance of food, the strength of both sides will be greater and greater, and the entire tribe will usher in the final tragedy.
It can't be put off any longer!
"The people of the Red Flame Horn have never been afraid of death!"
Because of the thin atmosphere, he had to use a very large lung capacity to make a loud noise. His body was already bulging like a ball and began to absorb a lot of gas. The unique physiology of each Chiyanjiao person has a huge lung capacity, and they also have a special gas compression organ in their body, which is used to store large amounts of gas.
Hearing his roar, an elder stepped out of the depths of the earth.
"Let's wake up all the people and fight to the death!"
After the Red Flame Horned Man sucked in the gas, his volume expanded more than tenfold, and when he spoke, he released this part of the gas, and his voice became extremely high: "Now is our best chance, several King Kong are in the process of being pregnant, and their bodies are weak...... Once we let them survive this period, we will never have another chance! ”
"I've decided that the Red Flame Horn people will fight to their last breath!"
The mood of the elders was quickly mobilized. Years of fugitive journeys have allowed this large tribe to nurture a wolf culture. Chiefs are the smartest and bravest people who can hold the position, and Gondor's performance over the years has convinced everyone.
When they understood the situation, they looked fanatical and roared one after another, and at the same time puffed themselves up like a balloon, making the sound louder and louder.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
After the group was slightly tired, Ammid, who was still calculating on the side, stood up. As an elder and a wise man, he said in a low voice, "You have made the right choice. ”
"But we can't just go all-in and get all the warriors into battle. What should our children do in the event of our defeat? Our culture and bloodline will lose their heritage, and they will not be able to continue to gain a foothold under the holy ruins if they do not have enough inheritance. ”
"So I suggest that we have to keep some of our men behind for a great escape. Even if we all die, we'll have enough time for them to escape...... And, Gondor, we must choose a temporary tribal heir, who must be wise and powerful. ”
Gondor, that is, the name of this chief. As a leader, it is appropriate to find another way back for civilization.
All the Chiyanjiao people present were slightly silent, and joining the fleeing team meant that they could survive; Participate in the war, and there is a high probability of death. The combat power of King Kong, everyone knows, how many they can kill, whether they can win, is still unknown.
The fear of death is the nature of intelligent life. The Chiyanjiao people didn't come up with much religion to soothe the fear of the unknown, they only had one "God the Father", that is, ...... A star that can heat people to death.
"I'll join the war!" The chief roared, and without much hesitation, he said directly: "My third child, Pi, will be my heir. ”
After a moment of silence, Ammid also said: "I'm old, let's join this war too, it's not bad to be a bait." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately attracted a large wave of objections. After years of fugitive, the role and prestige of the wise man have gradually grown, and there will always be a limit to the strength of the body, but wisdom has an unfathomable tendency......
"My three students have inherited some of their knowledge, and they can already calculate the movement of the island......" Ammid's eyes darkened slightly: "I will record the rest of my knowledge on the bark." ”
"Old, old...... I want to see God the Father. Opportunities have to be left to young people, don't they? ”
Hearing his words, these Red Flame Horn people were silent for a while, revealing a sad expression. Then they began to say one by one, almost all of them wanted to join this almost certain war.
The group of people screamed and screamed, more and more excited, as if they were running together into the arms of death, and the fear in their hearts was reduced.
It was only later that the chief had to forcibly assign two elders, demanding that they must join the fleeing party.
After making this decision, he said in a high tone: "We will die, but we will return to the arms of the Father!" ”
"Father!"
"Father!"
A group of Red Flame Horn people waved their hands, their voices mournful and low.
Immediately afterward, the sleeping clansmen under the ground were called out one by one. This process is similar to hibernation, and it is also a way for the Chiyanjiao people to reduce their energy loss in harsh situations.
They exchange heat and cold through their long tails and are able to synthesize some organic matter.
"For the sake of our tomorrow, we must take the initiative!" Facing nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes that were beginning to become clear, the chief roared.
All the people were very quiet, and the days of calamity and tribulation had lasted so long that they seemed to be numb, without any noise or alarm.
As if just announcing a trifle......
This was followed by the sacrifice.
Without enough concentration of oxygen, and of course without fire, the Chiyanjiao people still eat raw food.
They began to bow down in front of a "Lilith" with a diameter of more than ten meters. Former dead people are buried here. Even if the Chiyanjiao people are poor, they don't eat their own kind. Although they are omnivores, they still eat plants for the most part.
The corpses and blood of the clansmen will be turned into nutrients for "Lilith", and the entire tribe will be indirectly nourished again.
The horns, scales, and tendons of the dead will be made into the best weapons.
