Haruka picked up the fruit, took a hard bite, and forced himself to swallow it. In this way, she finished her lunch as if she were serving a prison sentence. It's still not as good as the usual meals, but at least you can maintain your strength.

"The Great Chief of the Man-Eaters, how did he appear in this place?" The girl asked.

"What you should be more concerned about is what they're looking for," Huang said. ”

The girl nodded and wrote it down.

Huang Quan pondered for a moment and said, "They dispatched a great chief and a large number of elite warriors, and what they are looking for must be very important. And above the Great Chief, there is also a guy called Lord Soul. Even if we take out this camp, it's useless, they'll still come, unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"There are other powerful settlements in this area that can distract the cannibals."

Yao's eyes dimmed, and he said lightly: "No, within ten days' journey, there will be no other settlements." ”

"So few people?" Huang Quan was a little surprised.

The Lost People's units of weights and measures are really anxious and generally have to be judged according to the context. The ten-day journey mentioned at this time is not the ten days when the settlement migrates, but refers to the hunting range of the settlement hunters.

The strength of the settlement hunters is still quite outstanding, and in the rainforest, they can also walk a considerable distance in ten days.

They can easily travel tens of kilometers a day, just to maintain their strength to deal with danger, and when they leave the camp, they become weakened and manic, limiting their hunting range.

In such a vast area, there is only one settlement, but the number of cannibals has multiplied!

Just as Huang Quan saw, the cannibals were divided into several levels, such as ordinary cannibals, warriors, ferocious ogres, elite warriors, chiefs, and so on. There are obvious differences in the strength of each level, and the number is naturally a ladder distribution. If you think about it in this way, you can roughly understand how many cannibals there are.

In the ecosystem of this world, the Lost People are the food, and the ogres are the predators. Now that food is facing extinction, predators are overwhelming, and it is a little unreasonable.

Huang Quan suddenly thought of what the Blade of the Split Mountain said before he died: "You humans are the moths of the world. ”

The Blade of the Split Mountain is strong, wise and calm, and before he dies, he must be convinced that he will say this. But what did the Lost People do to make him realize this?

Huang Quan asked carefully, but Yao couldn't answer.

Life in the settlement is monotonous and simple, nothing changes from day to day, and everyone is busy for tomorrow's food and survival.

There are only a few elders who can think about the future for some time, and because of their old age, their memory is declining, and their thinking is very limited, and they have to devote most of their energy to preserving the knowledge obtained from the ancestors' sacrifices.

Such a settlement, which struggles to survive every day, can't do anything special.

Huang Quan thought about it, and if he wanted to figure out the meaning of this sentence, he was afraid that he would have to go to the shelter. Only there, it is possible to preserve the history before the settlement.

After coming out for most of the day, Huang Quan felt like a layer of cobwebs on his body, although it did not affect his movements, but it was sticky and a little uncomfortable, and his joints were faintly sore.

These are very subtle sensations, he didn't notice them when he first woke up from his sleep, but now that his strength has recovered, his senses have gradually become sharper.

Huang Quan glanced around, and his heart became more vigilant. There is a faint malice in this world, and it seems that it is no accident that hunters can only leave the settlement for a few days, and that memories fade quickly.

Huang Quan looked at the sky and said, "We should go back." ”

"It's better to go back early, so that everyone can prepare early."

The girl got up and walked in the direction of the settlement with Huang Quan. As she walked, she suddenly asked, "Will they still come?" ”

"Of course."

"Is the settlement moving again?"

Huang Quan was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid so." ”

The place where the Blade of the Split Mountain appeared was already very close to the camp, and he was not hunting, but looking for something, which was even worse.

This means that the ogres are not spinning around hunting, but will constantly search the entire area, and unless they find what they are looking for next, the camp will be discovered sooner or later.

"But the camp can't be moved anymore." Haruka's voice was low.

"Because of the Stone of Life?" Huang Quan looked very calm, without a too surprised expression.

"After the Stone of Life is migrated, it will take at least a year to stay and absorb the power of the earth and the forest before it can recover. If we relocate now, it will hurt the root of the Life Stone, and its power will become weaker and weaker. ”

Huang Quan had already guessed, and only said: "The strength of the Life Stone is weak, and there is still time and opportunity to remedy it." But if the camp is found by ogres, everyone will die. ”

In fact, the girl also knows this truth, but she doesn't want to accept it.

"When you go back, let's see the decision of the Great Elder."

Huang Quan nodded.

At this moment, Haruka suddenly stepped on something under his feet, and after a crackling sound, a scream echoed in the forest.

The girl was startled and hurriedly jumped to the side, realizing that she had stepped on something similar to a mushroom. When it is trampled on by a kick, it makes a sound similar to a scream.

"Screaming mushrooms!" The girl's face changed dramatically.

"What is this?"

The girl quickly explained.

The Screaming Mushroom is specially cultivated by cannibals, and its voice can travel very far. The specially trained hunters of the cannibal tribe can accurately determine the location of the screaming mushroom when they hear its sound, and the misleading tactics used by the Lost People are useless.

Haruka didn't expect that only a day or two after the new camp was set up, there were screaming mushrooms nearby, and just now he was absent-minded about the future of the camp and stepped on the trap.

Huang Quan didn't panic, looked around, and picked up another screaming mushroom to take a closer look. He pinched it hard, and a small hole broke in the outer wall of the screaming mushroom, and the air jet shot out from the inside, letting out a scream.

"What if the beast steps on it?"

"It's only when we humans step on it that it screams."

There is also this kind of thing, and Huangquan is an accident again. It seems that ogres do target humans at every turn, as can be seen from the targeted warning things such as screaming mushrooms.

"Let's go back quickly!" The girl was distraught.

At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two: "Want to go?" It's late! ”

The girl was startled, and was about to find the source of the sound, when a black shadow suddenly bounced out of the grass, piercing Huang Quan's waist!

The attack came so fast that the girl didn't even have time to scream. Huang Quan was aware of it in an instant, and the scarlet warning in his field of vision kept flickering.

On the side of his body, he let go of the black shadow and grabbed it with his backhand.

However, that black shadow instantly erupted with terrifying power, shaking Huang Quan's hand away in one fell swoop, stabbing towards Huang Quan's chest like a poisonous snake!

With such strength and tricky angles, Huang Quan couldn't dodge, and could only barely dodge the key point sideways, and was pierced through the shoulder by the black shadow. But when he was crisscrossing the major star fields, how could he be plotted so easily?

Huang Quan broke off, held the black shadow with both hands, and with a frustration, he actually twisted the black shadow alive! Then he stepped forward, and in an instant he burst forward, fitting into a large tree.

The trunk of the big tree did not move at all, but more than ten wooden thorns shot out from the other side, and the roots were as sharp as knives!

A figure suddenly appeared behind the tree, and was shot by several wooden thorns, and blood splattered. She snorted and retreated dozens of meters away, her figure gradually becoming clear.

It was a woman covered in a dark cloak, with most of her face hidden in shadows, and only her mouth and chin could be seen. A wisp of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, her face was pale, and it was obvious that she was not lightly injured. The wooden thorns pierced deep into her body, some almost entirely.

The corners of her mouth curved upward, and a weird smile appeared, and she said, "I didn't expect that in such a remote place, there would be a real strong person." Are you from the shelter? No, it's unlikely that someone like you will be in a kennel like a shelter. So, you come from the source of all evil? ”

The source of all evil? Neither Huangquan nor Yao have ever heard of this place.

She seemed to see the confusion between the two, and after a low laugh, she said, "I forgot, in your mouth, the root of all evil has another name: the Holy Land. ”

Haruka exclaimed. In the hearts of the lost people, the Holy Land has almost become a legend, a pure land without all suffering.

The woman ignored Yao, only looked at Huang Quan, and said, "Next time I come again, I won't let you pass the test so easily." Remember my name, soul! ”

Huang Quan pulled out the barbs left by the three-edged steel whip on his shoulder, threw them on the ground, and said: "I really didn't expect that any kind of fish, turtle, shrimp and crab would dare to be presumptuous in front of me, and the next time I meet it, it will be your death!" ”

The soul chuckled, didn't care, and was gone in an instant.
