Chapter 974: Encountering People
After cutting a few pieces of meat in a row, Lin Xuanzhong stopped contentedly, and at the same time, his hands were stained with shocking blood. However, in order to fill his shriveled stomach, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't care about the blood on his hands. After wiping the ground haphazardly, he looked around for some dry wood, and then made a fire some distance from the carcass of the horned pig.
When the aroma of meat wafted out of the tender barbecue, Lin Xuanzhong finally found a living benefit. Thinking back to the discomfort of being hungry before, it feels like a sweet dream now. After patiently roasting the meat, Lin Xuanzhong, who had eaten a meal, was in a happy mood.
Of the original four pieces of meat, two pieces were eaten, and two pieces were left to be eaten at night. Walking in the Beast Ridge Pass, carrying bloody raw meat will inevitably attract the attention of fierce beasts, and it will be safer to carry cooked meat.
After resting for a while, Lin Xuanzhong continued to hurry with the food, it would take a certain amount of time to pass through the Beast Ridge Pass, and the earlier he walked, the better.
After filling my stomach, my mood is much better, I no longer have the feeling of being at a loss about the future, and I have a direction in my heart. Under the sun, and going further, Lin Xuanzhong embarked on a journey full of dangers again. But without worrying about food, it's a good feeling.
You don't have to deal with anyone, you don't have to think about how to do it, it's just good, it's an afternoon to walk, because you have the strength, you have a lot of walking. Along the way, he encountered many huge beasts, but they were all safely avoided by Lin Xuanzhong. In addition, compared to Lin Xuanzhong's size, it is obvious that the larger ordinary fierce beast is more popular with other fierce beasts, and the battle between the fierce beasts interprets the rule of the law of the jungle to the extreme, and sometimes some cruel hunting pictures make it difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to look directly.
But then again, sometimes Lin Xuanzhong was very envious of the strong strength and hard physique of some fierce beasts. If Wu Xiu's skin and flesh can be so tough, it must be regarded as a kind of ability.
As the sun sets, he doesn't think so much anymore, and before nightfall, Lin Xuanzhong wants to find a safe place to rest. Of course, there is no absolutely safe place in Beast Ridge Pass, Lin Xuanzhong can only use his previous experience to find a safer place.
Not long after, Lin Xuanzhong stopped in a place with high terrain, a wide field of vision, and a shelter, and then found some firewood while it was still light. On such a hot summer day, the fire is definitely not to keep warm, but to prevent the interference of poisonous insects and some fierce beasts. After making a few fires around, Lin Xuanzhong sat in the middle to rest. In order to sleep peacefully, I also got a safety facility outside.
A few wooden stakes are erected around the perimeter, and then long branches are placed between the stumps and pressed with stones. If a fierce beast approached, after touching the branches, the falling branches and stones might wake up Lin Xuanzhong. In order to get a good night's sleep, Lin Xuanzhong tried his best to take protective measures. If you don't sleep well tonight, you can't help it.
Heat up the meat at noon, smell the aroma, Lin Xuanzhong, who was hungry, ate a lot again, and then quenched his thirst by eating some wild fruits, and a very wonderful dinner. After eating a full stomach, lying on the grass and looking at the vast stars, a pleasant feeling arose. After walking for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong was a little tired, and now he is really comfortable lying down.
Feeling the comfort of all parts of his body, Lin Xuanzhong felt more and more that it was the right choice not to return to the barracks. Compared to the tense atmosphere in the barracks, it is better to be free outside, and you don't have to worry about anything except eating and sleeping.
Closing his eyes and feeling the temperature drop, for a while, Lin Xuanzhong felt as if he had lost contact with the whole world, and his whole person became empty.
A few piles of firewood burned slowly, and not long after, sleepiness hit, and Lin Xuanzhong, who had already closed his eyes, went directly into the sleeping village until he was awakened by a nightmare.
After turning over violently, he opened his eyes and saw that it was dark everywhere, and after realizing that it was a dream, Lin Xuanzhong looked around. Several fires were about to go out, and there was not a single movement around. After getting up and adding some firewood, Lin Xuanzhong held the torch again to check the things arranged around. The cold wind blew gently, everything was normal, and after returning to his original position, Lin Xuanzhong fell asleep again in a blink of an eye.
But it didn't take long for me to wake up from the dream again. Originally, it was not hot at night, but Lin Xuanzhong was covered in sweat after waking up, and the slimy feeling on his body and some unpleasant smells made him very uncomfortable, after getting up to cool down, Lin Xuanzhong desperately wanted to find a water source to clean it, so that he could feel better, but the surroundings were pitch black, only a little moonlight was sporadic and there was too much danger to find a water source with a torch. After thinking about it, in the end, Lin Xuanzhong could only wipe his body with blades of grass, and did not stop until the smell of grass on his body stopped.
Returning to the original place, after lying down again, he couldn't sleep at all, he was worried that he would sleep too hard at night, but now he can't sleep even if he wants to, the fire in the surrounding several fires is getting stronger and stronger, and the bright light makes Lin Xuanzhong sleepless.
After deciding not to sleep anymore, Lin Xuanzhong got up to extinguish the extra fire, and then returned to his original position to meditate and pranayama. I don't know what the spirit cow did before, there is no need to deliberately heal the injury, the injury is getting better all the time. When I looked at the injury, it was noticeably better in my chest, and I don't know how long it would take to heal completely, but as long as there are signs of improvement, it's a good thing.
While healing, I thought about some problems, and sat like this until morning. As soon as the morning dawned, only ashes remained in the original fire, but Lin Xuanzhong reached the most sleepy time after working hard to heal his injuries. But at dawn he couldn't sleep anymore, because it was time for the beasts to forage for food.
After cheering up, while the food in his stomach had not been fully digested, with the sharp horn from yesterday, Lin Xuanzhong hit the road again, all the way south. Even if you don't know what to do in the future, you still have to wait until you pass the Beast Ridge Pass. After walking non-stop for three days, Lin Xuanzhong, who had gone through difficulties, walked out of a dense forest.
When I stopped and looked back, I saw that the forest behind me was terrifying. I am afraid that the experience of the past few days should not be easily forgotten, especially when I look at myself. Lowering his head, except for a few rags covering important parts of his body, almost his entire body was exposed, and wounds of different lengths were imprinted everywhere. There were scratches, scrapes, and scratches, and Lin Xuanzhong's appearance at this moment looked even more embarrassed than that of a refugee.
His hair was dirty and messy, and he hadn't washed it for many days, and he didn't feel very comfortable smelling it. In fact, in the past few days, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to wash, but he never found a suitable water source for bathing. Now that the weather is so hot, he is sweating at every turn, and Lin Xuanzhong can't do it if he wants to be clean.
Anyway, Lin Xuanzhong himself can accept the current situation. Now that he has been out of the Beast Ridge Pass, the situation will only get better and better in the future, and after comforting himself in this way, Lin Xuanzhong no longer pays too much attention to his image.
It is worth mentioning that in the past few nights, Lin Xuanzhong has had many nightmares, basically he doesn't rest well every night, and as long as he sweats a lot, he will have a feeling of bathing in blood. That feeling of not being able to get rid of is more terrible than having a nightmare, which makes Lin Xuanzhong suspicious now, and he doesn't feel at ease alone in the mountains and wilderness.
Unconsciously, the haze in Lin Xuanzhong's heart became much thicker, which made Lin Xuanzhong more and more afraid to think about the past, because once he thought about it, he would be afraid. Standing outside the forest, looking at the empty front from a distance, Lin Xuanzhong's mood was finally better. With that sharp horn on his back, he took another step in an instant, and if he went all the way south, he would definitely meet people.
Thinking of coming into contact with others, Lin Xuanzhong, who didn't care about his image, couldn't help but look at his own situation. Stumbling and rolling all the way, sleeping in the open air, hungry and full, the injury has been improving, and now it has faintly reached a level close to the sixth order of the martial realm. With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter any bandit gangs and powerful beasts, his safety is not a problem.
After considering that he had nothing of value on his body, and that there would be no blind bandits who had to rob him, Lin Xuanzhong felt that what he should worry about was the fierce beasts he might encounter. Anyway, having stayed enough in this barren mountain and wilderness, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go to a place where someone lived.
Heading south, you can still see some beasts on the road, but their numbers have been greatly reduced. Two hours later, a village appeared in sight, looking at it from a distance, those simple houses made Lin Xuanzhong feel more intimate, as soon as he thought that he could change into clean clothes when he got there, and then get rid of the nightmare of the past few days, following a wisp of cooking smoke, Lin Xuanzhong sped up.
After getting closer, Lin Xuanzhong was surprised to find that the wisp of cooking smoke did not come from a distant village, but a place where there were no houses. But if there is a fire, it proves that there are people, but I don't know if it is a bandit or a villager.
After standing in place and thinking about it for a while, Lin Xuanzhong finally decided to go over and have a look. After slowly approaching there, with the help of the shelter of the forest, Lin Xuanzhong, who was hiding not far away, heard some conversations, mixed with some cries, and the sound was chaotic. It sounded like there were old people and children, and I didn't hear what the people over there were talking about, but Lin Xuanzhong felt that it shouldn't be a bandit.
I don't know why a group of people gathered here, and with a burst of curiosity, Lin Xuanzhong walked forward a little more. When Lin Xuanzhong was about to stop, a man who was making it convenient appeared in sight.
When Lin Xuanzhong turned to face that person, that person was obviously startled by Lin Xuanzhong's sudden appearance, not only stopped his original behavior in time, but also shook his body, and splashed urine on his clothes.
