Haruka was not idle, she pulled up the Yellow Spring, carried a bag of branches, and went to the hills outside the camp to plant trees.

Huang Quan watched as she planted a branch every dozen meters, and then poured a little water with the power of the Life Stone. The branches immediately took root and grew, doubling in height from the size of the forearm, and pulling out a few shoots before they stopped growing visibly with the naked eye.

These branches are the saplings of the extraordinarily straight trees that surrounded the settlement in the first place. When the young branches appeared, Huang Quan felt an invisible power faintly spreading, and he felt a little lighter on himself.

As the branches grow, the coverage of the invisible force slowly increases. Huang Quan looked around, and clearly felt that within the scope of this force, various species had begun to change accordingly.

Haruka ran four hills in one go, and basically finished half of the work by himself before stopping to rest.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she looked at the rapidly growing branches with joy, and said, "In less than a year, these sacred trees will grow to the extent that they can cover the entire camp." Only then can our settlement be said to have truly taken root here. ”

The sacred tree naturally carries the power of the Life Stone. They are so amazing that they can form a field of their own, form a country that is completely suitable for human beings and their own growth, and create a new ecosystem.

This ability to transform the entire environment has not yet been studied by the empire of the interstellar era, but I didn't expect it to be used so skillfully in this primitive settlement.

"What's next?"

"Also clean up the room, explore the surroundings, stock up on food for the cooler months, craft more arrows and weapons, and train new hunters...... That's all, and then there is none. ”

Life in the settlement is so monotonous and primitive.

There is still a part that has not been spoken, that is, men and women work hard to reproduce and try to create people.

The loss of the entire settlement was very small in this migration, and the five samurai were intact, which was almost a miracle, but it still lost dozens of excellent hunters. If you want to replenish, it will take more than ten years.

In this era, the process of growing up was greatly shortened, and at the age of about ten they were already qualified warriors, even by imperial standards.

In contrast, life has become shorter. In this settlement, Huangquan did not see a few old people, even the oldest, only about fifty. This is the beginning of the golden time of a lifetime in the Empire.

However, most of the Lost Folk do not survive to die of normal old age, and most of them die in battles with ogres and wild beasts.

A position like the Great Elder should have been able to live longer, but whenever there is a battle that endangers the entire clan, as the top combat power in the settlement, the Great Elder often has to fight on the front line, and he has been able to survive until now more because of good luck than outstanding combat power.

After finishing the task at hand, the girl didn't want to go back, but looked at Huang Quan with blank eyes, and said, "Let's go explore the surroundings, shall we?" ”

"Okay."

Huang Quan wanted to learn more about the rainforest, and also wanted to match the markings on the Great Elder's map with the actual terrain.

The girl chose a random direction, and walked with Huangquan to the depths of the rainforest. It's hard to find your way in the rainforest, and if you don't have any experience, you can look exactly the same. However, the girl has a strong sense of direction and explores all the way into the distance.

After about a few kilometers, a cliff appeared in front of the two of them, and there was a river at the bottom of the cliff, winding into the distance.

The sunlight pierced through the gaps in the rainforest and shone on the river, and a rainbow appeared in the rising water vapor, and the girl cheered, pulling Huang Quan's sleeve and pointing to him.

This is a rare beauty in the rainforest, and the Yellow Springs are also refreshing. Living in a rainforest for a long time, with the dense foliage of the canopy blocking the light, can inevitably become very depressing.

The girl sat on the edge of the cliff, her feet swinging, and suddenly fell silent.

The place where she was sitting was more than 100 meters away from the valley below, and ordinary people would be fatal if they fell. But now that she's a great samurai, this height can't stop her.

Huang Quan stood beside her and asked, "Something on your mind?" ”

The girl sighed softly, rarely without answering.

Huang Quan didn't ask, but said, "Where is the shelter?" ”

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't know either." No one except the Great Elder knew where the shelter was. ”

"And how do you get back to the shelter?"

"When there is a need, bring it up at the ancestor sacrifice, and the ancestral soul will engrave the route in our soul."

Huang Quan was naturally not satisfied with this answer, he thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Do you know which direction the camp is in now?" ”

Haruka pointed to his hand and said, "There it is!" What's wrong? ”

She looked at Huang Quan a little strangely, but Huang Quan was thoughtful.

The girl pointed at her hand casually, and it was exactly the same, which showed that she had a natural sense of the life stone in the camp, and no matter how deep and far she walked in the rainforest, she would not lose her direction.

So in the hundreds of years of migration, the settlement is getting farther and farther away from the shelter, and no one has ever returned, will the so-called route be to let the lost people gain the sense of shelter?

Huang Quan thought of another question, "Didn't anyone betray the hunters who fell into the hands of ogres in the past?" ”

"No one will betray you." The girl replied as a matter of course.

"Why?"

"This is our home, our only home. It is the place where the souls of the ancestors dwell, and it is also the place where the brothers and sisters lived. In the hands of a cannibal, betrayal is also death, and there is no other possibility. ”

Huang Quan frowned, "But there will always be someone who will sell the location of the camp in order to live a little longer, right?" ”

With so many people in the settlement, after so many years, Huangquan doesn't believe that there is not a single traitor and soft egg. And as long as there is one such guy, the settlement will be destroyed.

The girl thought about it seriously, but also looked a little distressed, and said, "There may be...... I do not know. But when we fall into the hands of the ogres, the power of the ancestors' protection will be destroyed by the ogres. Without the protection of our ancestors, we would soon die. ”

Huang Quan asked a few more questions, and asked the girl to show it a few more times, and finally understood that the so-called power of ancestor protection was the power of the Life Stone. When the Lost People lose the power of the Life Stone, they will gradually die, a trait that the Holy Radiant does not have.

Huang Quan faintly felt that the power of the Life Stone seemed to be more controllable.

"Do you want to go to the shelter?" Huang Quan asked.

The girl was stunned, sighed lightly, and said, "Of course I want to go, I have always wanted to see what kind of world there is outside the rainforest." I heard the Great Elder say that there are many kinds of seeds in the world, and there are places where there is all grass and no trees, and there are places where there is all sand. He also said that there is a place called the sea, which is particularly spectacular and beautiful. ”

"You should be able to go now. Didn't the Great Elder say that the Great Samurai could go to the Sanctuary? ”

Haruka hesitated and said, "If I leave now, the whole settlement will be dangerous." I am a great samurai, and I want to protect everyone. ”

"When you have more power, you can protect more people and do more things. Before you met me, you were still an ordinary little hunter, you couldn't even protect yourself, who could you protect? ”

"However, I also had to ask the Great Elder."

"He'll agree." Huang Quan said lightly, he had a way to "persuade" the Great Elder.

The girl was obviously moved, and asked tentatively, "What about you?" ”

"I'll go to the shelter with you."

The girl's breath was a little short, and she nodded vigorously, but did not speak.

Huang Quan looked around and said, "It's not bad here, across this rift, there is a good hunting ground on the opposite side." Later, you can set up a makeshift camp here and explore further afield. ”

The girl nodded, "Let's go back, the Great Elder should be worried in a while." ”

The two of them returned the same way they came, and the speed was naturally faster. When we got back to camp, it was a busy scene.

Under the command of the flying arrows, people are dismantling the unusable parts of the shipwreckage little by little, sorting them out in different categories, and storing them in the warehouse, which will be the materials of the furnace of all things in the future.

Others went in and out, cleaning the inside of the wreckage.

Seeing Huang Quan and Yao, Feijian ran over and said excitedly: "Soon the place to live will be cleaned up, and the rooms of the two of you will be put together, just downstairs from the Great Elder." ”

Haruka nodded immediately.

Huang Quan clearly understood the strict hierarchy in the settlement from the process of arranging the settlement.

In the room distribution in the central room, the Great Elder lived the highest, below were the samurai and elders, and below were the hunters, and they had to be excellent hunters of adulthood.

As for the rest, they can only build houses on the periphery, and the houses built on the bits and pieces of the ship's wreckage are stronger and stronger than those made of pure wood, and will be given priority to those who are capable of fighting.

It's like the place where Haruka lived, or her father left behind. If Haruka hadn't had excellent potential, she wouldn't have been able to keep that house.

After a busy day, everyone had a tired look on their faces, and even Huang Quan felt a little tired. He said hello to Arrow and went back to his room.

The room is not big, just an ordinary cabin, but by the standards of an interstellar ship, this is already a treatment that only a senior crew can have. The windows were wiped clean and there was a view of the rainforest outside.

Huang Quan closed the hatch and carefully took out the chip from the cargo hold, and as his mind moved, an opening appeared in his wrist, just in time to insert the chip.

The information on this chip may be very useful.
