The elder nodded slowly and said, "Our settlement is very small, and I know that such a task is too demanding for you. It's just that if the ogres find out where the camp is, we'll have to move again. The last time we moved here was seven years ago. Migrate again, and we will become weaker, and we may no longer be able to wait for the day when we will be strong. What awaits us may be more cannibals, or merging with other settlements. ”

There was another commotion.

Huang Quan looked left and right, and saw that the flying arrow happened to be standing beside him, and he was waving his arms and shouting angrily.

Huang Quan leaned sideways and asked softly, "Why are you so reluctant to merge with other settlements?" ”

Seeing that it was Huang Quan, Feijian's face was slightly better, and he said, "You really don't know?" Once merged with other settlements, it proves that we are losers as men and warriors, and in the new settlement, we will have no place, and we will not have women and offspring until we die. And our women and offspring will become someone else's appendage! ”

The arrow spat at the ground and said, "I'd rather die in battle than become a vassal of other settlements!" ”

The words of the flying arrow immediately resonated with the surrounding warriors, and many people raised their arms and shouted, resolutely opposing.

This time, it took more time for the elders to calm the people's emotions. The wrinkles on his face deepened, his eyes gleamed faintly, and the corners of his mouth drooped as if he had borne the pain of so many years that he would never smile again.

The elder took a deep breath and said, "I also imagine that you are going to fight the cannibals to the death. However, the cannibals are endless, and they can never be killed! What we need is to survive and grow, and young beasts should not fight to the death against strong enemies. It's easy for us to die in battle, but what about them? ”

The elder pointed to the women and children next to him, who were standing in one place, forming a special group.

Huang Quan knew from Yao that when the women in the settlement gave birth to children and gradually lost their ability to fight, they would join the group, take care of their men, and also take care of some public affairs in the settlement, such as cooking.

The crowd fell silent, and many warriors saw their women and their children in it. Although according to the settlement system, once a child is born, it is everyone's child, but that blood connection is difficult to separate.

The elder is right, it is easy to die in battle, but what about women and children, what about them?

Man-eaters are like locusts, like tides, which can never be killed. No matter how brave a samurai is, no matter how great a hunter is, he will drown in an endless cannibal frenzy.

Over the years, the Lost People have proven with countless lives that fighting against cannibals is a dead end.

When the mood calmed down, the elder said, "Maybe we have to move again, and I hope that the ancestors will protect us through the three years of weakness." But even if we move again, there is still hope. When we came here seven years ago, weren't we in the same storm? ”

All the hunters and samurai were in good spirits.

"What is the period of weakness?" Huang Quan asked again.

Flying Arrow gave him a strange look and said, "Doesn't your settlement have a period of weakness?" ”

"When I woke up, I saw you, and I can't remember anything from before." Huang Quan said quietly.

Arrow patted his head: "You must have suffered a blow to your head and lost your memory as a result." But it doesn't matter, it will recover slowly. As for the period of weakness, did you see our camp? ”

Huang Quan nodded.

"Every settlement has a Stone of Life, which is the basis of our existence, and every time we move, we plant the Stone of Life into the earth. The power of the Living Stone will gradually transform the surrounding environment to make it suitable for our survival. The longer the Life Stone is transformed, the larger the settlement will be, our strength will become stronger, the more children women will have, and the children will grow faster. And when we have to relocate, the first three years of the Life Stone need to slowly regain its strength, and the entire settlement will be very dangerous. ”

Huang Quan asked again, "Why does it have to be within the power of the Life Stone?" ”

Feijian glanced at Huang Quan a little strangely, and said, "Do you still need to ask?" We can only survive around the Living Stone! If you leave the Life Stone for more than seven days, you will go completely crazy and become a member of the cannibals. In fact, it doesn't take seven days, as long as you leave for a long time, people will become irritable and irritable. The gray eagle you saw at that time was just one more day outside than us, which is why the temper is so bad. ”

Huang Quan caught an important message: "Wait, you said, after being away from the Life Stone for a long time, you will become an ogre?" ”

"yes."

"How do you know? It's incredible. ”

The flying arrow was a little inexplicable, and said, "This is what the elder said, everyone knows it!" ”

Obviously, Flying Arrow and Huang Quan think about things in completely different ways, and Huang Quan was surprised that two races that seemed to have completely different representations could be directly transformed. In the consciousness of the flying arrow, this change is like the light of the sky will be dark and bright, and it is a part of nature.

Huang Quan's brows furrowed, feeling as if he had caught something, but he couldn't think clearly for a while.

At this time, the elder raised his cane and said, "Brave warriors, this mission will be a test of life and death. So until then, I will listen to you and meet your requests. ”

The six samurai will bear the greatest responsibility and danger this time, and each of them will say their wishes, some want their children to be given special care, some want to sleep next to the stone of life for one night, and some want to be able to drink a good drink.

Now Huang Quan knows that wine is a rare luxury in the entire Lost Front.

When it was the boulder's turn, he stepped forward, pointed at Haruka, and said, "As the most powerful samurai in the settlement, I want to leave more offspring with beautiful women!" Tonight, I want her! ”

This request does not seem abrupt, and most people are calm, but it angers Haruka and Gray Hawk.

Gray Eagle stood in front of the boulder and said in a deep voice, "You're asking too much! Haruka is not yet an adult. ”

"Not much off from adulthood, isn't it? It doesn't affect anything, and the elders know it. As for you, Gray Eagle, you're no match for me, you lost to me in both cool fights, and I wouldn't mind letting you lose one more time if you weren't going to fight soon. With that, Boulder reached out and pushed the Greyhawk aside with some brutality.

The gray eagle's face was swollen red, but he couldn't attack, the rules in the settlement, the combat power can decide most things. He couldn't beat the boulder, so he couldn't speak loudly.

The elder coughed and said, "This request is reasonable, although Haruka is still a little short of adulthood, she is already an excellent hunter, and she will also become an excellent mother." Is there anyone else against this? ”

There was silence in the room.

Everyone knows Ju Yan's thoughts about Haruka, but when he brings it up at this time, it is difficult to object. After all, no one knows if he will be able to come back after this battle.

The best warriors leave more descendants, which is originally the most simple survival rule in the settlement. In the large settlements that have survived long enough, more than half of the men have not had a woman for the rest of their lives, simply because they are not strong enough.

Huang Quan raised his eyebrows, and was about to stand up when Yao suddenly said loudly: "I am against it!" ”

The elder was stunned, coughed, and said, "Haruka, this, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to object. ”

In the settlement, women are chosen by the strong, but they have no say. Although Haruka is already a hunter, many of the women in the settlement were once hunters, and after giving birth to children, their combat power declined, and they became women who took care of children and men.

Haruka was stubborn, raised his head and said, "Of course I can oppose it!" I'm not just a woman, I'm also a hunter, and I'm going to be a samurai! I'm going to fight him, and if I win, then I'm a samurai, and no one can force me! ”

The elder was still hesitating, but the giant rock had already said, "Okay! I promise you! But you're still young, I don't take advantage of this boulder, I'll only fight you with one hand! ”

Yao didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "You still use two hands, so as not to make excuses for losing for a while!" ”
