Because I haven't been here for a year, the cave is full of ash and cobwebs, and it looks a little dirty.

The fighters cleaned up a little.

Li Tu spread a piece of animal skin on the ground and asked Ye Xi to sit down.

Ye Xi was accustomed to this kind of treatment from the tribe, so he sat down without any excuse.

The other fighters could not rest yet, and they began to deal with the prey that was brought today.

The warriors dissected the prey, threw away the internal organs, and drained all the blood. They have to reduce the weight of their prey as much as possible in order to bring back more prey.

The smell of blood in the cave was in the nose for a while.

The dark clouds in the sky outside are getting more and more, and the sky is completely overcast.

Thundered.

The dark clouds that had been brewing for a long time finally sounded the first thunder.

It didn't take long for it to rain outside, and it was pouring down.

A muddy smell filled the air.

The warriors took the dissected prey to the rain.

They had to remove as much blood as possible from their prey, so as not to be targeted by predators on their return journey.

Litu didn't know which place in the cave to find a big stone pot, rinsed the stone pot in the rain, and directly connected half a pot of rainwater after washing. After building a simple stove with stones by the fire, the broth was boiled in a stone pot.

There was a gurgling grunt, blisters bubbling in the stone pot, and the smell of meat spreading.

The warriors chiseled several rough wooden bowls out of wood, each with a large bowl of broth, and drank it whirringly.

After hunting for so long, they were hungry and thirsty, and a pot of broth at this time greatly soothed them.

Outside there was thunder and heavy rain, and the warriors in the cave were drinking broth and chatting.

"How is Xiaote, has it been eaten by the leopards?" Ye Xi turned his head and asked Pu Tai.

When being chased by the leopards, everyone had to climb the tree, and Xiaote was so large that he couldn't climb a tree, so Putai had no choice but to let it escape on its own.

He was a little worried about Xiaote, but Pu Tai had been very busy, and it was not until he was free now that Ye Xi found an opportunity to ask Pu Tai.

Xiao Te is Pu Tai's war pet, and he can sense whether Xiao Te is alive or dead.

Putai shook his head: "I can feel that it's not dead. At that time, the target of the leopard group was us, and they would not specifically attack Xiaote, a dinosaur beast. ”

"Why are the leopards attacking us?"

Ye Xi was a little puzzled, if the leopard group chose other targets to attack, the success rate would be higher. Why did you choose them? And so persistently, and finally even unwilling to cross the cliff to attack them.

Putai smiled bitterly: "Last year, our hunting party killed their leader by mistake, and this year they are probably here to take revenge." I didn't expect them to hold such a grudge, and Dahong even fell off a cliff because of it. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Xi's expression became a little gloomy.

When the warrior fell off the cliff with the panther in his arms, he wished he could save him.

"Don't be sad, it's not uncommon for warriors to get injured or even die while hunting. Pu Tai comforted Ye Xi instead.

"If I could fire both, maybe he wouldn't have to die. ”

"It's not your fault, Ye Xi. ”

Ye Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't speak, but silently decided in his heart that he must practice his bow and arrow diligently after going back, and if he encounters such a situation next time, he will not be helpless.

Pu Tai noticed that Ye Xi was still blaming himself, paused, and asked, "Have you noticed that there are very few older warriors in the tribe?" ”

Ye Xi was stunned.

Thinking about it this way, yes, it seems that there are really not many fighters over the age of fifty, and the fighters over the age of sixty can even be counted on five fingers.

"They ......"

"The mortality rate of fighters is really high. Pu Tai let out a long sigh, "Especially a small tribe like ours, which is not very powerful. ”

Putai looked out of the cave, the dangerous jungle was now covered in rain.

"This jungle is so dangerous, and there are so many terrifying predators lurking in it. Even if you become a warrior, you won't be able to plug your teeth when you touch those creatures. That's why the chieftain was so opposed to you becoming a warrior in the first place. ”

"You don't have to be too sad, even if Da Hong survives, five years later, ten years later, he will die. ”

"Even I don't know how old I can live or how much prey I can hunt for the tribe. Speaking of this, Pu Tai's voice was stunned, and his expression was a little vicissitudes.

Ye Xi comforted: "No, Uncle Pu, you will live for a long time." ”

Pu Tai laughed: "Little guy, you have always been so old, I didn't expect to say such childish things." ”

Ye Xi frowned, and immediately wanted to refute.

"Ye Xi, listen. Pu Tai didn't wait for him to say, but got up, "This world is too dangerous, too dangerous. ”

"It's like being attacked by a group of black panthers today, as long as there is a difference of one point, our entire hunting team 2 will be all explained here today. ”

"Do you think today is a special situation? No, this is our daily life, the daily life of a soldier. ”

"I didn't let you participate in the hunt this time, are you very unconvinced in private?"

"That's because you're all too immature, and if you encounter an unexpected situation and don't have time to react, it will be a dead word at that time. Only when you are more familiar with the rules of this jungle and more proficient in applying your abilities can I feel comfortable allowing you to participate in the hunt. ”

"Especially you, Ye Xi, your potential is enough for you to become a fourth-level warrior, or even a fifth-level warrior. I can't let you slip through the cracks, you understand?"

Ye Xi lowered his head and was silent for a moment.

After a while, he looked up: "A sharpened weapon is a weapon." ”

Pu Tai was stunned.

"Isn't it true that a warrior gradually grows and breaks through from the brink of life and death? If I don't face danger all the time, can I really break through to a fourth-level warrior, or even a fifth-level warrior?"

Putai's eyes widened slightly, and he wanted to refute but didn't know how.

Because the reason why he himself broke through to a second-level warrior was because he once encountered a giant ape and broke through when he was on the verge of life and death.

Looking at Ye Xi's immature but firm eyebrows, Pu Tai was a little silent, and he muttered and repeated, is the sharpened weapon a weapon.

After a long while, he said, "Maybe you're right." ”

The warriors were too precious to Tu Shan, they didn't want to lose any of them, they were careful like big birds that cared for their chicks, and refused to let the chicks out of the nest. Perhaps because of this, the opportunity to sharpen new fighters was also lost.

Therefore, for so long, they Tu Shan only produced two second-level fighters.

What's right?

Confused for a moment, he abruptly stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, and watched the heavy rain.

Ye Xi also came over and stood beside him.

Outside the rain curtain, there are huge earthworms rolling happily in the rain.

It loved the heavy rain.

The earth was arched like a hill, and its rhinoceros thick body kept burrowing in and out of the wet dirt.

"What is this?" Ye Xi's eyes widened in horror.

Pu Tai was very calm: "That's a big earthworm, it eats insects and won't attack people." ”

Ye Xi looked at the big earthworm, his eyes were still wide.

...... How could there be such a big earthworm, it's terrifying!

The warriors who washed their prey in the rain should have seen it too, but they were all calm, as if they hadn't seen it, and they should have known that the big earthworm would not attack people.

Ye Xi slowly regained his composure, trying to make himself accept the amazing fact that prehistoric earthworms were so huge.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, and there was no sign of an imminent dispersion.

Putai looked at the sky and said regretfully: "It seems that this rain will not ...... for a while."

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a white silk thread struck like lightning out of nowhere, and suddenly wrapped around the ankle of a warrior who was cleaning his prey!

Before everyone could react, the warrior had been dragged by the white silk thread and dragged deep into the jungle at great speed.
