The climate here is similar to that of the southern rainforests of the earth, with a lot of moisture, sweltering heat, and poisonous insects and beasts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAn Jielin Shaobai and his party are all masters, and these climates and poisonous insects are nothing to them. After walking in the jungle for two days, he finally met a group of terrans hunting in the mountains and forests.

Wende is a teenager from a small tribe of Terrans, who make a living hunting in the middle of the sweltering mountain forest. Unlike other tribes, the Wende tribe is very weak compared to other tribes, only a small tribe of only a few hundred people, as for why, it is because their tribe does not believe in evil gods, and there is no altar.

If you don't worship the evil gods, you won't have a source of power, and life in this beast-infested jungle is very difficult, and you have to be careful every time you hunt, because if you are not careful, you may change from a hunter to a prey. People in the tribe were often injured and killed because of hunting.

Wende is young and vigorous, and knows that other tribes can gain great power because of the sacrifice of evil gods, and the hunt is very simple, not as difficult as their tribe to survive. So he longed for power, for power to be able to revitalize the race, and he often asked the old patriarch why he didn't build an altar and not prostrate himself at the feet of the gods to receive divine grace. And every time he asked this, the patriarch would shake his head, and his eyes would show a look of remembrance, telling him that when he grew up, he would tell him why.

Now that he was seventeen years old and about to reach adulthood, he had also asked the patriarch two days before, but the patriarch told him that he had to grow up before he could tell him why.

He didn't understand the patriarch's behavior, and even scolded the patriarch behind his back. Because his father died in the hunt, he was so hungry for power.

On this day, as usual, he followed the strong men of the tribe to hunt in the mountains and forests.

The tribe usually dispatches more than a dozen strong men to hunt, these people are armed with spears, bows and arrows, running quickly in the forest, very familiar with everything here, quickly surveying the terrain and looking for prey.

Winder frowned slightly as he looked at a young man in his thirties walking behind the large group.

The young man was bowing his head and setting up a trap, and six or seven children about the same age as Winder were watching carefully.

The young man smiled as he explained the practice and function of the trap until the children fully understood. After arranging a dozen traps all the way, the young man asked the children to find a hidden downwind outlet to hide. Then follow Wende to hide behind the rocks at the downwind outlet.

He had already seen that Wende was a little emotional, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Winder looked at the young man's fingers, only to see that the fingers of the young man's right hand were only thumb and index finger, and asked, "Uncle Sander, why did you say that the patriarch grandfather did not allow us to build an altar to worship the gods?" If we had sacrificed to the gods, we would have had great power a long time ago, and my father would not have died because of hunting, and Uncle Sander, your fingers would not have been bitten off by wild beasts, and even if they were bitten, as long as they were sacrificed to the evil gods, they would have grown, but why was the patriarch so ruthless, why didn't he sacrifice to the gods? ”

Sander listened to Wende's words, looking at his expression in a trance, as if he saw himself ten years ago. He also questioned the patriarch back then, and he was also resentful and helpless. Winder is exactly like him now.

"I don't know why, I asked the patriarch before, but he said that when I grow up, he will tell me when the time is right, but to this day he hasn't told me why." Xander laughed.

It seems that Xander didn't mind that the patriarch didn't keep his promise to tell him.

Winder heard Tander's nonchalant tone, and there was some anger in his heart.

"Isn't that patriarch a liar? That's what he said to me. Winder said angrily: "Uncle Sander, you have become like this now, are you angry?" Obviously, we have a chance to grow, but he doesn't allow us to grow, watching the clansmen die one by one, is he old and confused? ”

He gently tugged at the hide on Ravinde's body, motioning for him to be quiet. Then he said, "Don't be so impulsive. The patriarch is a man who has experienced a tragic history, and his insight is far beyond what we can compare. And I've figured it out over the years, and some of the things the patriarch said are still very right. ”

"What words? Could it be another lie? ”

"It's not a lie, it's an experience." Sander shook his head and explained, "The patriarch said that it is better to ask God than to ask for himself, and at first I couldn't figure out why, but I didn't understand why until today. ”

Looking at Winder's suspicious eyes, Sander continued: "Although the gods have infinite power, it is us who live in this world, and they are high in the divine realm and look down on the common people. We may be able to gain strength through sacrifices to overcome the hardships and hardships of this world, but are those powers really our own strength? The patriarch once said that how big the heart is, how big the future is, those people prostrate at the feet of the gods to obtain the power of the gods, but their hearts are forever limited to the framework of the gods, unable to become truly strong. ”

"A real powerhouse? How could a truly strong man be no match for these ordinary beasts? Uncle Sander, you must have been deceived by the patriarch. Winder obviously couldn't understand the meaning of the sentence, and his tone was full of disbelief, after all, he was just a child.

Sander didn't care when he saw Wende talking like this, he used to be like this, he could understand Wende's mood very well, and patiently explained: "This strong man is not those strong people who can defeat some monsters with a wave of their hands, but a strong man in the heart. Look at the 'strong men' of other tribes who have not experienced hardships. What would happen if they suddenly lost their strength? Will you still have the courage to live? These people are actually very ridiculous, they think they are strong, but they have not experienced any setbacks. Once you meet someone stronger, you will only grovel. The real strong person is the one who has gone through many hardships and uses any setbacks to face them, and this kind of person will have a heart of steel under the tempering of many difficulties and setbacks. This kind of talent is a real powerhouse. ”

Although he thinks Sander's words are very reasonable, but Wende's heart disagrees, can he defeat the beast with a heart of steel? Will you be able to survive well?

Xander only smiled slightly when he saw Winder's disapproving expression. He knew that there were things that he had to experience to understand. The light explanation is not clear.

Winder was about to retort when suddenly there was a wind sound, and the trees around him began to tremble. A roar came from afar.

"Look at the frequency of the tree's shaking and roaring, it looks like a big guy!" Wende Road.

Sander was a little worried at this time, frowning and said: "It's not just a big guy, it's a monster, judging from that voice, it can be seen that this is a steel porcupine." ”

"Steel Boar?" Winde's eyes lit up. This kind of thing is a rare thing here, usually three meters tall, and the body is shaped like a pig, but its body is covered with thorns like steel needles, so it is also called the steel porcupine.

Although this thing may look ugly, the inside of the Iron Body has a very delicious flesh, and only a small piece can make a person not hungry for a day, and full of strength. It's enough for the entire tribe to eat for ten days and half a month.

"Don't go out yet, this thing is too dangerous, we can only wait until he struggles to exhaustion, and we will take action."

"Since I've fallen into a trap, I should be fine if I go and see!" Winder smiled and stepped out from behind the rock, looking curiously at the steel boar.

When Winder sees the steel porcupine, he realizes that he underestimates the monster. This steel porcupine is larger than an ordinary steel porcupine, and the steel needles on its body are a meter long, if that person is hit by this steel porcupine, he will definitely be pierced through countless holes and hung on it.

As soon as the steel porcupine saw the human, it immediately stopped struggling, its blood-red eyes stared at Winder tightly, and a fierce aura emanated from its body, which frightened Winder into taking two steps back.

As if feeling a little embarrassed not to be scared away by a beast, Winder took two more steps forward and looked at the steel porcupine defiantly, mocking him.

"Just a brute, you fell into the trap, and you dare to grin your teeth, I will catch you later, I must peel you and cramp."

"Whew!" Enraged by Winder's attitude, the steel porcupine began to roar loudly and struggle.

When Sander saw the big tree shaking faster and faster, a shadow cast a shadow over his heart, and he yelled, "Winder, run away!" ”

As soon as Sander's words fell, the rope on the trap broke, and the steel porcupine broke free from the trap, glaring at Winder with fierce eyes, and pounced.

Winder was reminded by Sander, and was mentally prepared, and when he saw the monster breaking free from the trap and rushing towards him, he was so frightened that he immediately ran back, ran two steps, turned around, and hid behind the rock.

The steel porcupine didn't notice it for a while, and slammed into the tree that was the thickness of a person in front of it, and with a bang, the tree was broken by the steel porcupine.

Seeing this majesty, Sander grabbed Wind's arm and ran towards the forest.

The steel porcupine snorted and stomped on his feet, chasing after Sander and Wind. When the others saw this, they threw spears and bows and arrows. But the spears and arrows could not attack its weak spots, and were bounced back by its steely skin, which could not stop its path in the slightest.

Listening to the hurried footsteps getting closer and closer, Wende's heart welled up with regret. But just when he was not concentrating, he tripped over the roots under his feet and fell hard to the ground, and Xander was caught off guard and fell down by Wind.

Listening to the rumbling footsteps getting closer and closer, Winder felt a little dazed in his heart.

"Am I going to die?"

At this time, he thought of the people of the tribe next door, those people had great power and could easily tear apart the beast, those people did not have to worry about three meals at all, and his heart was both envious and annoyed.

"I envy those who have power!"

Very suddenly, the footsteps stopped, Wende opened his eyes, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that the steel porcupine didn't want to kill himself? He looked up at Uncle Sander, only to find Uncle Sand looking behind him in shock.
