Chapter 179: Zhi Qi
The extremely smooth piece of bamboo, which was polished, was tied into a half-moon shape by a thick black rope, and a sharpened branch was attached to it. Emma...... Meng Nan was shocked. He also thought that he had returned to the primitive society on earth, and this guy was holding the roughest kind of bow and arrow.
Although the bow and arrow are very rudimentary, being able to understand the force and reaction force is a big step for this creature! At the very least, they already have an IQ that is not weaker than that of primitive people.
Could it be that this creature is a primitive man who has not fully evolved? The ancestor of the human race of the Kepu Federation?
Just when Meng Nan was scorched by this thought, the short man was probably afraid that the tall man's bow and arrow would hurt the guy who fled, so he grabbed the tall man's arm with both hands and screamed continuously.
The tall man slapped the short man in the face with a backhand. The wild flower pinned to its ear immediately swirled and flew away.
The short man was slapped in the face, and after being slightly stunned, he put his arms around the tall man's waist, opened his mouth, and kissed it indiscriminately.
The tall man immediately couldn't hold it, and with a flick of his hand, the primitive bow and arrow disappeared at once, and then, with a hard pounce, threw the short man to the ground, and straightened his waist, and the short man immediately let out a scream of pleasure and unwillingness.
The tall man is shaking on the short man, and the next picture is very inappropriate for children. Meng Nan naturally did not appreciate this hobby. He closed his eyes and pondered in his heart. The most incredible thing about him was not that this creature could use a bow and arrow, but that it ......
Where are its bows and arrows? Why does it appear all of a sudden and disappear all of a sudden? Could it be that this creature actually has superpowers?
Look at the drunk guy, and this short guy. With such a fear of this tall man, it is clear that this creature is not only social but must have taken on a rudimentary class character. This is the prototype of a society that is about to take shape, in that case, his and Yin Ruoqing's careers here must not be as easy as imagined.
Meng Nan doesn't think so. The two of them, who have lost their card readers, can fight against such a group of creatures who can use tools.
Just as Meng Nan was thinking about what to do in the future, the tall man roared wildly, twitched twice on the short man, and got up contentedly.
The short man flattered it with a blade of grass, and the tall man held his head high and turned and walked back.
The short man glanced in the direction where the black shadow had disappeared, and Meng Nan rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled. He actually found a trace of sadness and resentment in the eyes of the short man......
Meng Nan slipped down from the tree silently and crept behind them. It was about that the movements of the two of them just now were too intense, and they walked very slowly at this time, Meng Nan didn't dare to follow too closely, and followed them all the way over the mountain, and halfway up the back mountain, two black shadows suddenly lost their traces.
Meng Nan cautiously crawled over. There was a small cave between the long grass. There was a snapping sound from inside.
It's really a taste of marrow! Meng Nan smiled bitterly. Found a place to lurk outside, waiting for the two guys to fight again.
The moans and wheezing finally stopped, but Meng Nan waited for a while, and the two guys were still missing. He gritted his teeth and crept into the cave.
Meng Nan entered the cave and found that two dark shadows had disappeared. He had walked a while earlier. I found that this small cave has a small entrance, but the inside is getting more and more spacious, and the roads inside extend in all directions. One hole after another, he didn't know where to go.
Meng Nan casually picked a slippery path with a rock wall and walked forward slowly. In order to avoid getting lost in this labyrinthine road, he carved a mark on the rock wall with a stone every time he walked around the corner, and after walking around for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water.
Meng Nan quietly poked his head out from behind the rock wall and looked around, and found that he had walked out of the mountain and came into a valley. The rays of the setting sun poured down from the sky, reflecting a pool of turquoise water.
In the water, a group of creatures with the same characteristics as the black shadows they had seen earlier, were bathing in the water. Looking at their obvious sexual characteristics, it is clear that they are a group of females.
Meng Nan smiled bitterly, and remembered the allusion of Bajie who strayed into the Pansi Cave and saw a group of spider spirits taking a bath. It's just that he is much worse than Bajie's luck, and the spider spirits are all beautiful and fragrant, but this group of creatures is unbearable.
At this moment, Meng Nan already had a plan to turn back. He has been out for a long time, and he is worried that Yin Ruoqing will encounter any danger if he stays there alone. Since he had seen quite a few of these creatures here, it meant that their habitat was nearby, so he turned around and planned to leave.
Who knew that as soon as he turned around, he saw that behind him, there was a black shadow quietly touching him, and when he saw Meng Nan suddenly turn around, the black shadow stiffened suddenly. Meng Nan's reaction was naturally much faster than it.
Meng Nan almost subconsciously pounced, and swung out his knife, straight to the neck of the black shadow.
The black shadow's reaction was far beyond Meng Nan's expectations, it actually avoided Meng Nan's attack, turned around and ran.
The speed at which the black shadow fled was extremely fast, and it had already gone out at a distance of four or five meters in an instant, and Meng Nan was secretly frightened in his heart, even the speed of the flying man Galbo was nothing more than that.
But fortunately, the black shadow only fled, and did not make a sound. Meng Nan hurriedly followed behind it, and the two of them rushed forward and one after the other, running up in the cave.
Although the black shadow fled quickly, it was a little panicked, and as it ran, it suddenly kicked a protruding stone, and immediately tripped and fell to the ground. Rao was so broken that his head was bleeding, but the black shadow didn't even say a word, limped up, and continued to run forward.
However, Meng Nan took this opportunity to catch up with it, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hair on the top of its head, and the black shadow was in pain, and just as he was about to scream, he was slashed by Meng Nan on the neck with a knife, and fainted softly.
Meng Nan carried this black shadow, found the mark he had left, and slowly felt out of this place, returning to the cave where he and Yin Ruoqing lived.
When Yin Ruoqing saw Meng Nan coming back, she immediately threw herself into his arms. Without the card reader, she is just a delicate girl, and she is naturally very scared when she is alone in this dark cave.
Meng Nan patted Yin Ruoqing and comforted her in a low voice. Only then did he turn around and bring in the black shadow that had gagged his mouth and was tied like a rice dumpling.
When Meng Nan was on the road just now, he had already discovered that this black shadow was actually the guy who was drunk and ran away before, and at this moment, it had opened its eyes. He was looking at Meng Nan in horror, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Ah, this is...... Zhiqi! Yin Ruoqing looked at the black shadow brought back by Meng Nan in surprise, her face full of incredulity.
Meng Nan didn't expect that Yin Ruoqing would know this kind of thing. But it's not surprising when you think about it, as if you haven't seen dinosaurs before, but at least you know about them in art books and movies.
Since such creatures exist on this planet, traces of them will be left behind.
As Meng Nan speculated, Yin Ruoqing knew about this creature in an ancient book at home.
It is said that Yin Ruoqing has been cultivated as the only heir of the family since she was a child, and her education is all-round. Not only is she familiar with the customs and customs of the Federation, but she also knows more about some things outside the Federation than ordinary people.
The policy of fooling the people is always limited to the lower-class civilians, and many things are confined to a small circle, and Yin Ruoqing is naturally the person in that circle.
According to Yin Ruoqing, before the ancestors of the Federation searched for the Promised Land, all people and creatures were in the dense forest, coexisting with all kinds of creatures. Zhiqi is one of them. At that time, all creatures that survived various natural disasters, tsunamis, and earthquakes, including humans, had several brushes.
For example, Zhiqi, a creature similar to a monkey, has an IQ that far exceeds that of other animals. For human imitation, it is also very in place. And they have a magical innate ability, and that is the ability to space.
They seem to be able to manipulate small spaces to store food or other things they deem necessary. Hearing this, Meng Nan suddenly realized, he finally understood why the tall man's bow and arrow had suddenly appeared.
However, there was a war between humans and Zhiqi. The reason is simply that humans and Zhiqi are too similar. Their most prominent common denominator is greed.
No animal is crazy about storing food. Except for humans and Zhiqi. They are really frightened by the harsh environment, and they always do whatever it takes to store all kinds of food.
Fruits, animals, and insects, the two races engage in a silent competition for strategic reserves. At this point, humanity was completely defeated by Zhi Qi.
Zhi Qi, who has the ability of space magic, is still a natural hunter. They have a primitive but effective hunting tool, which can be composed only of twigs and tendons (what is called a bow and arrow on earth). And this hunting tool has unparalleled accuracy and lethality in their hands. But humans can't replicate their abilities. The worst Zhi Qi is also far more accurate than humans in that kind of tool.
And so a protracted battle broke out. In the end, mankind had the last laugh, and the factors that determined the balance of victory in the war were really hilarious.
The main reason for the victory of mankind turned out to be...... The fecundity of human beings far exceeds that of Zhiqi.
Zhiqi's fertility state was really bad, and the attrition of the war with humans eventually led to their extinction - of course, this is recorded in some of the books that Yin Ruoqing has seen, and the fact is that they are still alive on this overseas desert island......
After listening to Yin Ruoqing tell what she knew, Meng Nan pondered for a while, looked at the Zhi Qi with pleading eyes, and walked towards it...... (To be continued......)
