It rose from the bottom of the water, its head rushing out of the water, it was a woman's face, she took a breath, paddled forward with both hands, scooped up the silver scale skirt floating on the water, put it on her body, picked up the spear and swam ashore.

The thorny flowers around the "Woo Woo La..... fell, and a group of longhorned beasts rushed out, they were three meters tall, with short and thick limbs with curved claws, and sharp horns on their foreheads rushed towards the woman.

Stopping in front of her, on the back of each horned beast sat a man, armed with a spear or a bow and arrow, with gray skin, a large head and a small body, long and thin limbs, a bare head, and a pair of large eyes that were oval and bulging out of the face.

The men jumped to the ground and lay down on the women together, their foreheads pressed to the ground.

"How are the fireworks going to be prepared at night?" asked the woman.

The men looked down at each other, but no one said a word.

Whoosh, a spear pierced the back of one of the men's hands, "Oo.....oo

"Waste. ”

The men lying on the ground moved out of the way, silently watching the woman's bare feet walk by, crawling along the rope loop to the back of the horned beast, pulling the reins, and riding the horned beast through the flowers.

They rode their horned beasts one after another, and the man with the wounded back of his hand was pushed down by one of them and fell to the ground.

"This is my riding beast. ”

The man on the back of the beast pointed a spear at him, "Those who have been abandoned by Ava are no longer our companions. ”

With a flick of the reins, the horned beast howled, its paws stepped on his arm, and the cavalry turned around and ran in the direction of the woman.

The rumble faded away, and the man gritted his teeth and pulled his arm out of his paw prints, and the bones were out of shape and drooped in a dangling manner.

Rustling

There was a sound in his back, and he got up from the mud, his spear clenched in one hand, his eyes fixed on the swamp.

A three-meter-long shadow floated from the bottom of the water, its curved tail swinging slowly, and stopped in front of him.

"Poison Monkey!"

He stabbed at the water shadow with one hand, and the spear made a splash, and pulled it back, and a bunch of green aquatic plants hooked at the spearhead.

"I was shocked, it turned out to be aquatic plants. ”

In the water waves, a sharp mouth bent upwards rushed out, opened the jaw, and two rows of inverted teeth bit the man's head, and the whole person was dragged in, and the water surface was covered with circles and lines.

The horned beast rushed forward, and the thorny flowers fell, and Ava flicked her long hair and grabbed the reins, and the horned beast stopped in front of a cave.

She rolled over and slid off the beast's back, and the large army behind her arrived, and the roar of the beast was heard in the dust, and the men stopped riding the beast and watched her enter the cave.

The cave is five meters deep and ten meters high, and the light shines directly on an animal skin sleeper, next to which stands the skeleton of a poisonous monkey, and the beads of precious stones hang on the cave wall.

With a flick of her hand, the spear flew out and stuck in the gap between the skeletons, and she lay on her side on the skin, looking at the strings of beads swaying in the wind on the walls of the cave, and at the men outside the entrance.

They slid down from the beasts, and a few of them did not stand firmly, snapping, their faces facing the ground and their feet facing the sky.

"A bunch of idiots. ”

Ava closed her eyes and listened to the wind whizzing through the hole.

The men laid down their weapons, and the beasts were all tied to a boulder, and they all went into the flowers, their skin rubbing against the leaves of the stems, and a bloody hole was opened, and blood dripped down the spikes at the edge of the green leaves.

Pick off a piece of receptacle, roll it into a funnel shape, shake one of the stamens on your head, let the slime on it drip into the funnel, and shake it to drip a drop of slime into your eyes.

"I'm poisoned..... I..... Poisoned ....." he rolled on the ground.

Everyone gathered around to watch, and his body twitched, and he lay motionless on the ground.

A man with a scar at the corner of his eye walked over and said, "Don't look, go pick up dead leaves." ”

People scattered around, walking among the flowers.

They poured the slime they had collected into a bowl and layered layers of yellow, thorny flowers at the entrance of the hole.

When Ava opened her eyes, it was already dark, and a four-meter-high fire was burning at the entrance of the cave.

She propped herself up and rubbed her eyes. The smiling faces of the men gathered around the fire, and when they saw her awake, the laughter stopped, and one of them took the cup from the fire and walked towards the cave.

The man with the scar on the corner of his eye rushed forward and snatched the cup, and the two pushed each other.

Ava held her chin and watched as they fisted and kicked each other, and the scarred man threw them down, knocking them to the ground and kicking them several times until they waved their hands to the side.

He picked up the bowl and walked over to Ava, lifted the lid and sent out steam, a viscous and transparent liquid tumbling in the dish.

Ava blew away the heat, drank it dry, sighed with her head held high, and fell on her sleeper.

Seeing the scarred man coming out with an empty dish, everyone gathered around to inquire about the situation.

"How?"

He glanced at the woman lying on the hide, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "That's it." ”

They whispered around the fire, squeaky laughter, and a woman's voice came from behind them.

"What are you talking about?"

The scarred man was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Ava standing behind him, holding a wooden stick. The men scattered and lay on their stomachs.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, the scar man trembled and said, "We are discussing how to catch the horned beast. ”

Ava swung the stick, snapped, and hit him on the back, and the people around him trembled, "Don't think that if you get me a cup of stamens, you can mess around, if you don't catch the horned beast, the fireworks will not be held, and everyone will be beaten with a stick." ”

The scar man opened his throat and said, "I'm sorry, because I have delayed the important fireworks show, I am willing to take a stick, and at the same time offer the riding beast under the seat as a sacrifice for the fireworks festival." ”

The other men lowered their heads and their backs were raised.

Ava stabbed the scarred man with a stick, "Are you really willing to sacrifice the horned beast?"

"Yes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a spear fell in front of him and bounced a few times on the ground. Scar Man picked up the spear and walked over to the horned beast tied to the stone, reaching out to caress the rough skin on its neck, the horned beast turned back to him and opened its eyes, he gritted his teeth, and the spear stabbed into the horned beast's neck.

"Oh......" There was a long beast cry, and the horned beast shook a few times and fell to the ground.

In the dust, the scarred man drew a red-dyed spearhead, and a puddle of blood spread across the dirt.

A man who watched the excitement said to others: "A riding beast has been trained since it was a young horned beast, and basically grew up with the rider, and he stabbed down with a spear without even blinking his eyes, which is really admirable." ”

The bystander turned around and said with tears streaming down his face, "Of course he doesn't blink, because that's my riding beast." ”

The men cut the horned beast lying on the ground with sharp knives made of bone, and the fat pieces of meat were roasted on the campfire, and the oil dripped down the fire, and the smell of meat spread in all directions.

At night, bonfires are lit up on various hills, and "the fireworks show begins." Ava looked across the hill, and it was pitch black, except for the thorny flowers swaying in the wind.

"What's wrong with her?"

The scarred man walked over with a bloody spear, "Maybe they won't be able to catch the horned beast either, so there won't be a fireworks display." ”

". She turned back to the cave and took out the spear from the monkey's skeleton, and the holster containing the bone knife hung around her neck.

The scar man followed, "Ava, the fireworks show is about to start, where are you going?"

"Even if they can't catch the horned beast, they won't even light a campfire, something must be wrong, and I'm going to go over and see. ”

She walked to the campfire and asked five men to stay behind to take care of the barbecue, and a dozen men with bows and arrows and spears followed behind her with torches.

Passing through the tall and low thorny flowers, not far from the mountain, the scarred man stumbled, the torch fell to the ground, and when he looked down, it was a broken spear, and among the green leaves of the flowers there was a bloodstained hand.

Ava frowned, and gently pulled the blade, revealing a male corpse with a bow and arrows stuck in his back, and five or six lying on the ground in front of him, all with spears and arrows stuck in their bodies.

The scarred man gripped the shaft of his spear and looked around, "There has been a fierce battle here. ”

Ava crouched down and pulled out the arrow from the corpse, the arrow was in the shape of a trigram, "Ava did it!"

She gestured behind her, and everyone clenched their spears, mounted their bows and arrows, and walked one step at a time to the top of the mountain.

Through the dense leaves, I saw a fire in the open space outside, and two men and a woman sat in front of the small fire in a daze.

The woman's long hair was braided into small black braids, and her green pupils blinked in front of the firelight. The man beside her threw a dead leaf into the fire, lowered his head and said, "There are only three people and one riding beast left, what should we do?"

The man on the other side also looked at her, "There are not enough people to hunt, so in order to survive, you can only join other tribes." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, joining other tribes requires handing over all the territory and riding beasts, which is tantamount to declaring the demise of our tribe. ”

The two men quarreled with each other, but the woman did not say a word.

Rustling

A group of people rushed out of the flowers, bows and spears surrounded the three of them.

"Chenwa, how did you end up like this?"

She looked up, and a woman stepped out of the crowd with a spear on her shoulder, "Ava!"

Ava smiled and bent down to stare at her face, "I know Ava did it, she likes to do sneak attacks from behind, and you were too careless to give her a chance." ”

Chenwa lowered her head and said, "When we were carrying the horned beasts, she came to attack with people, and almost killed all the people, and took all the beasts away, only me and two clansmen hid in the back mountains and escaped this massacre." ”

"Everyone is preparing for tonight's fireworks show, it is inevitable that they will relax their precautions, she must think that it is easier to raid your clan than to go out to hunt horned beasts, and she is a good move!" Ava turned her back and looked at the riding beast tied to the opposite side, "Chenwa, I won't sympathize with you, just blame yourself for being careless." ”

"What did you take the brigade up the mountain for?"

"Haha, of course it's to rob your man, to rob your riding beast. ”

One of Chenwa's side got up and knelt down in front of Ava, "Please take me in, I'm willing to do everything for you." ”

"Good. Ava looked at the other seated man, "What about you?"

He looked at Chenwa and nodded silently.

"There is only one beast to ride, and I don't raise useless people. Ava turned and threw a spear to the ground, "Whoever of you kills Chenwa first, I'll take him in." ”

The man lying on the ground crawled forward, and when his fingertips touched the spear, the other hand was pulled away, and he looked up, and the spear in the hand of his companion reached over and pressed it against his throat, and he waved his hand and said, "It belongs to you." ”

The man who got the spear turned around and walked towards Tatsuwa step by step.
