Quietly sneaking into the heart of worry, traveling to prepare for the warehouse coincidence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A village without a name. It's just a simple village, and no one has ever thought of naming it.
It is just a very inconspicuous location, a settlement in the middle of the vast sea, and at this time, this inconspicuous presence makes some individuals feel envious.
He cautiously jumped down the rocky steps and crept behind the wavy roof, trying to hide himself without even speaking to himself...... The ultrasound was so penetrating that even a small muttering could be easily spotted.
The rumbling sound of water echoed in his ears all the time, and even though his brain could automatically filter out most of the noise, he felt a little anxious when he was in a state of high tension and involuntarily focused on the meaningless background sounds.
With a height of 1.7 meters, if it is an earthling, this is already a good adult, but among the sea giants, this is definitely a little boy who has not grown up, or can barely be regarded as a teenager.
Due to the fact that Sea Giant generally uses ultrasound language, his name cannot be transliterated directly, but after reducing the frequency by a certain percentage, we can still find a relatively close pronunciation for him and call him "Feng".
Obviously, what Feng was doing at this moment was not like what a normal child should do, and he even shrank a large part of the retractable carapace on the surface of his body to the limit, revealing the cyan skin with sharkskin-like lines underneath, just to reduce the movement when he moved. The object of such desperate evasion is not the enemies of nature, but the adult sea giants of those villages.
A group of adult sea giants, who had probably just returned from work, passed by with various tools in their hands, and Feng quickly hid inside a nearby cave, hiding only a dozen meters away from the adults who were talking, and the cheeks on his cheeks opened and closed very slowly, almost completely holding his breath.
If they were to experience the Sea Giant's conversation with the ears of ordinary earthlings, they would only hear bursts of shrill sounds like tinnitus in the band they could hear, and even elite linguists would not be able to decipher what they were saying.
But Feng was also one of the sea giants, and it was clear that he could clearly understand what the adults were saying, and even in this case he was listening carefully to their conversation.
Obviously, although I don't know what it is, but the situation is not very good, just by looking at the demeanor, you can see that these passing sea giants are a little worried, and the expression on Feng's face is becoming more and more serious, without the innocent vitality that a child should have.
In a difficult living environment, children do seem precocious, and they have to understand how difficult it is to survive early on.
"Leave...... Food can't ...... Will die...... ...... in preparation"
"Not thick enough...... It's big...... Warriors...... Let's talk ...... again."
"OK...... No...... Can't resist it...... Next season......"
……
Fragmentary words floated in, and the adults walked away with huge steps as they talked, but some of the key information revealed by these conversations was keenly captured by Feng who was hiding in the burrow, he clenched his fists slightly, and the carapace covering the surface collided with each other, and for the sea giant, it could only be regarded as a small arm, and the strength of the hydraulic push was absolutely enough to easily kill a sturdy Earth bison.
You have to find a way to deal with it before the time comes...... Otherwise, no one can resist it, and for this you need to take risks.
It felt like the adults had left this side for a long distance before Feng slowly poked his head out of the entrance of the cave, and once he was discovered, he had no doubt that those adults could easily catch him, both in terms of speed and strength, and the other party was far above him.
Therefore, it must not be discovered, and it is better to move forward at a slower and slower pace than to show a trace of horses.
Walking out of the hidden hole, Feng subconsciously looked up at the fluttering silver nets in the sky, the silver silk threads illuminated by the light fungus almost shrouded the entire village, in the scope of this village, you don't need to carry your own light fungus to clearly identify the scene, but the sea giants who left the village will still carry their own light fungus, although their eyes are also very good at low light vision, but after all, they are more adapted to the bright environment.
At this time, Feng is preparing to leave this village secretly, so he can't be discovered by the adults who come and go, although even if they are caught, they won't do anything to him, but the plan to leave will definitely be useless...... The sea giant would not let children run around at such a time, and Feng did not simply want to run away from home, but once he said the reason for leaving, he would only be stopped more violently.
But there are still a few things to prepare......
After all, the sea giants built the village on the seabed, and they did not completely flatten the whole area, but only modified it according to the texture of nature, which makes the village still have a lot of uneven terrain. Feng bent down along the hollows, rejoicing inwardly that there was so much readily available terrain for him to use.
First of all, you must prepare some light bacteria, but considering that they can multiply on their own, you don't need to prepare too much, just find an opportunity to scrape a little off the lighting facilities. Living in the ocean doesn't have to worry about drinking water, but if you want to go far away, you have to prepare some food to carry. The ocean is full of unknown dangers, even an adult sea giant does not dare to guarantee that he can catch enough prey every day to satisfy that huge appetite when he is alone, Feng certainly does not dare to be so arrogant, even if he has not really grown up, he can already be proud of the vast majority of ordinary creatures in this ocean.
He had already secretly obtained a small silver bag made of sea tree silk thread from the place where the adults had stacked their tools, this cleverly crafted small bag had a thin mesh that would not leak food, and at the same time, it could also be hung in a carapace gap around the sea giant's waist, so as not to interfere with normal physical activity. As for some tools such as stone spears that have been processed and have been shaped to be four or five meters long, although they will also be very helpful for life in the wild, Feng Ke is not sure that he will slip out of the village with those large tools, so he decisively gives up and only takes this inconspicuous small bag.
Even if an adult sea giant finds that such a small bag is missing, it is estimated that he will only think that there are children who are curious to play with it, and if it is a weapon, it will definitely arouse their high attention.
Next...... Go to the food pantry.
Peak, whose thoughts are no less rigorous than those of an adult sea giant, recalls in his mind the general topographical distribution of the entire village, and if he wants to take the most difficult route to find, he will go around it from there.
Ten minutes later, Feng Feng, who had hidden himself in the shadow of a boulder, had finally completed the three-minute walk and arrived at this rarely populated place.
Piles of rubble have piled up a lot of high and low terrain on the seabed, and everywhere you can see obvious traces of human turnover, this is a place with simple decoration, even the light fungus columns used for lighting are sparse. Usually few adult sea giants come here, and even children don't come to play, because its purpose is, in layman's terms, a mass grave.
After the death of the sea giant in each village, the other tribesmen would dig a pit in the rubble and bury him, there were no tombstones or mounds, and the high and low terrain constantly changed shape under the impact of the sea, and no one knew who was buried below. However, there are only a few sea giants that can be buried, and many more sea giants are either devoured by giant beasts or become a burden on the road after death, and these sea giants who died accidentally cannot recover their bodies at all.
Of course, Feng didn't come here to pay homage to the remains of his ancestors, he quietly bent down through the almost uninhabited mass graves, easily got some light bacteria from the illuminated light fungus pillars in the palm of his hand, and then looked at a semi-crypt-like house opposite the mass grave.
That was the real destination of his trip, the village's food storage warehouse, from where he had to get some food to fill the now empty bags before he could officially leave the village, and the food warehouse from the direction of the mass grave was the least likely to be detected.
There are no guards in this food storage warehouse, the sea giants in the village are all their own people, and this era is basically a collective era of common property, there will be no malicious theft and robbery and the like, the only thing to worry about is whether there will be bear children accidentally destroying or something.
Feng gently slipped to the mass grave near the warehouse, then looked around and quickly ran into the semi-crypt-like warehouse.
When he was actually confronted with the carcasses of prey and some stacked sea plants tied to the warehouse with sea tree threads, even he couldn't believe that it had all come so smoothly that he had reached the last place he needed without even attracting the attention of any adult sea giant.
This operation will be successful, it will be successful!
After secretly encouraging himself a few times in his heart, and after stuffing some food into the small bag he was carrying, Feng was ready to leave. He didn't take much of it, not that he couldn't carry it, but mainly because the food couldn't be kept for long...... The total amount of food in the warehouse is enough to feed the whole village for a week.
Unlike terrestrial civilizations, the underwater world cannot preserve food for long periods of time. You can't dry the meat of your prey, you can't dry the harvested plants, or you can't even stop them from soaking in sea water full of microorganisms all the time, all of which will make the food rot and spoil quickly, and there is no way around it.
Feng took some food just for the early emergency, as for the future problems, he was still confident that he could be self-sufficient, after all, he could be regarded as one of the most talented hunting children in the village.
Well, all the preparations are done, and it's time to go.
Just as Feng was about to leave the warehouse, a burst of ultrasound suddenly came from the door of the warehouse, it was the sound of adult sea giants talking, and they were walking this way!
Faced with this situation, Feng finally felt a little panicked, he was still just a child after all, and hurriedly ran towards the place where the anchor grass stalks were stacked not far away...... This tough rhizome is probably one of the least perishable things here, so it is also in large stock as an important tool material.
Accidentally, Feng tripped over a stalk of anchor grass on the ground, and fell straight to the back of the pile of anchor grass, and just as he was nervous about whether the movement here would be discovered by those adults, Feng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
His palms swinging forward as he fell, seemingly inadvertently grasping some kind of creature that was almost completely transparent, and was clearly alive......
