Chapter Twenty-Four: Campfire Chatter
Eating is really the most important thing in life for a girl of this age.
Faced with the crisis of not being able to eat dinner, Haruka showed an amazing ability to learn, except for the elbows, shoulders, thighs, and even the most difficult back, began to shine in patches.
This glow acts like a thick layer of rubber that forms an effective layer of protection. In terms of defense, it's not much worse than leather armor.
In this way, perhaps in two days, the girl will be able to practice the light all over her body. She was born with a natural fit for Shenghui, who had discovered this when Huang Quan had taught her, but now she was shocked by her talent again.
In the blink of an eye, it was completed three hundred times, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead, and she said excitedly: "It's done!" Can we rush to dinner? ”
"It's pretty fast, but I think I need to practice a hundred more times. Go get practiced! ”
The girl's face suddenly collapsed, and her mouth was flattened: "No! Do you really skip dinner? I'm already hungry! ”
She happened to be growing her body, and she had just received the baptism of the power of the Life Stone, and the inside of her body was undergoing earth-shaking changes, and a large number of new body tissues were growing. This is the time when the demand for food is at its highest.
Huang Quan, of course, knew this, and said, "You practice yours, I'll go prepare dinner." ”
"Good...... bar. "The girl obviously didn't expect much from Huangquan's craftsmanship.
She continued to practice one posture at a time, and Huang Quan taught her a total of eighteen special postures this time, each posture was posed once, and it had to be completely in place before it could be completed.
As she practiced, she gradually forgot about her surroundings, and she didn't know when Huangquan would disappear.
When she practiced a hundred times, as if she had an alarm clock installed in her body, all the special muscles vibrated at the same time, emitting a stream of heat that flowed to the limbs and hundreds of remains. She was like soaking in glowing hot water, indescribably comfortable.
At this time, a burnt smell came, and Haruka sniffed hard before he could smell the smell of barbecue.
Not far away, Huang Quan had already lit a bonfire, constantly turning the branches in his hands. There was a black mass on it, and if you didn't smell the grease, you wouldn't know it was meat.
"What are you doing?"
"Barbecue."
"This ...... Is it really meat? The girl couldn't help but ask.
Huang Quan glanced at her coldly, and the cold killing machine locked directly on her, making her involuntarily shut up.
Then, he continued to concentrate on the barbecue.
With a snort, the girl next to her couldn't help laughing.
Huang Quan's face was as ugly as he looked, staring at the girl angrily, causing the trembling murderous intent of countless star fields and many powerhouses to rush out, and pressed towards the girl fiercely.
"Hahahaha!" Haruka finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud, completely ignoring Huang Quan's substantial terrifying momentum.
Huang Quan was a little speechless and found that since then, Haruka was no longer afraid of him.
is really not afraid of his murderous aura - the fierce coercion cultivated from the sea of corpses and blood is enough to paralyze the weaker opponent to the ground, but for the girl, it is like a breeze, and she has no feeling at all.
But Haruka is also afraid of him, afraid that he will be angry, afraid that he will be angry, so she will seriously do everything that Huang Quan wants her to do.
When you think about it, it doesn't seem to be fear, it's trust.
Looking at the girl who was smiling back and forth, Huang Quan's face became darker and darker, and finally said angrily: "Then you come to bake!" ”
Huang Quan had just hunted a fawn, and it was a hind leg that was on the fire, and most of the venison had not been touched.
Haruka stuck out his tongue, quickly cleaned up the venison, cut it into pieces with a hunting knife, skewered it one by one, sprinkled it with special seasonings, and roasted it on the fire. In the blink of an eye, the fragrant barbecue was baked.
Huang Quan ate several skewers silently, although he was hard-mouthed and thin-skinned, and refused to admit that his barbecue skills were not good, but the amount of food quietly betrayed him.
Haruka ate a few skewers before stopping and looking at Huangquan intently. She looked at it for a while, and then suddenly asked, "You've killed a lot of ogres before, right?" ”
"Why do you ask this?"
"Because your murderous aura is very heavy, and what you teach me, it's all for killing."
"Is there a fight that isn't there for killing?"
"Yes! Hunting is not. ”
Huang Quan snorted: "Doesn't hunting also require combat skills? ”
"No, that's different. Hunting isn't just about fighting beasts, it's about catching food. But you're all here to kill. "Girls have grown up in the rainforest since childhood, and are particularly sensitive to the art of fighting.
Huang Quan was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, there is no difference, it's all about survival." ”
"What do you eat on the battlefield?"
"Of course on the battlefield is killing, where is there time to eat."
"It's like I'm chasing a prey for days. It's the same with the battle, what do you do when your barbecue is so bad and the fight lasts for many days? ”
"I have something else to eat."
Haruka pointed to the piece of barbecue that was about to be charred, and said, "Is that what you eat?" ”
"What's wrong, you can eat it."
"It's going to weaken the combat power, right?"
Huang Quan was finally annoyed and embarrassed by the concern and sympathy in the girl's eyes, and shouted: "This is not something you should care about, I don't pay attention to eating!" ”
The girl stuck out her tongue in fright, and then made a grimace at Huang Quan.
Huang Quan snorted, and naturally stretched out his hand, intending to take another skewer, but it was empty, and the meat skewers grilled by Haruka had already been eaten by him.
Yao smiled lightly, stuffed the meat skewer in his hand into Huang Quan's hand, and said, "You eat first, and I'll get some later." ”
Huang Quan hesitated, but still took the barbecue and ate it. Since he ate her roasted meat, he was embarrassed to lose his temper. After eating a few bites, Huang Quan remembered that she had just taken a bite of the skewer of meat in her hand.
Looking at the girl who was jumping away, Huang Quan suddenly felt that she was not stupid at all.
The migrating teams are very scattered, and they do not move together together, otherwise they will leave too many traces in the rainforest, which will be difficult to cover up by the growth of the rainforest itself, and it is also easy to alarm the beasts.
So, the Great Elder divided the people into small groups of three or five, kept their distance from each other, and scattered towards the new camp.
In this rainforest where everything grows wildly, it only takes one night for the traces left by a few people to be completely obscured.
Every night, the large army gathers together to defend against the dangers of the night.
The Great Elder carries the Life Stone, and the people in the settlement have a natural sense of the Life Stone. As long as it's not too far away, they can find their way.
In this era, children of a few years old can also leap through the woods. They grow quickly, are physically strong, and have a natural instinct to hunt.
Day and night with the Stone of Life as a companion, so that they have good strength and speed from an early age. Adult men in the old days couldn't beat the five or six-year-old children in the settlement.
However, the civilization of the settlements has declined to the extreme, and can only be passed on by shelters and ancestor worship. As the camp moves farther and farther away from the sanctuary, it is foreseeable that sooner or later, the entire colony's heritage will be completely severed.
And the shelter will not last forever, Huangquan has never seen a fortress, it is truly never falling.
Once the shelter is captured by the ogre, all settlements that rely on it will die.
Thinking of cannibals, Huang Quan's heart was a little heavy, and these cannibals made him feel a little pressure. Although his strength has not yet recovered, the ogre has revealed many substances that he does not dare to despise.
On top of that, these cannibals have a lot of things on their hands that can restrain the Life Stone.
It seems that between the Lost People and the Cannibals, they are a pair of natural enemies.
Huang Quan thought about it as he eliminated the barbecue that Haruka had made. Then he cleaned up all the traces of the camp, and buried all the remnants of the campfire under the earth, and said to the maiden, "In which direction is the camp tonight?" ”
Haruka senses for a moment, stretching out his hand and pointing in one direction.
Huang Quan nodded, quickened his pace, and hurried towards the campsite.
Night has arrived, and the forest is becoming more and more dangerous. Huang Quan didn't want to delay until midnight, so his speed became faster and faster, so that Haruka could only barely follow.
On the other hand, he didn't want to continue answering the hellish questions about barbecue skills and what he used to eat.
