Chapter 100: Natural Architecture, Electricity Comes Out!(Adding a Song to the Elders of the Dead!)
Mountain ghosts are omnivorous and eat everything, including the carcasses of animals, and their danger lies in their dark complexion, green moss, which makes them very easy to hide in hilly terrain, and their long hands, feet and claws give them excellent climbing ability, allowing them to parachute from the canopy of high altitudes and launch surprise attacks on enemies.
Whew!Whew!
Xia Ye didn't care about the mountain ghost behind him, stabbed a sword light forward, and after smashing the mountain ghost blocking the road, he went straight to the fruit.
Mountain ghosts are highly resistant to poisons and have the ability to recognize herbs, so these creatures will habitually smear all kinds of poisons on their claws, which is the most troublesome point, and after being injured by them, they don't know what poison will be hit.
If the toxicity is small, it is easy to say, but if the toxicity is high, then I really don't know how to save it.
"Woad!"
Xia Ye yelled and threw out Taia!
Whoa!
Two dark golden sword qi shot out at once, piercing through the heads of the two mountain ghosts who pounced on the little Lori.
"I'm fine!"
She was being besieged by the seven mountain ghosts, but she didn't seem to be afraid, and the bronze sword swung extremely fast, bringing out a cloud of blood every time.
Xia Ye pulled out the song of the four seasons, and his backhand was a dragon slash.
As soon as a mountain ghost who rushed up from behind and wanted to sneak attack Xia Ye jumped into the air, it was hit by the flying sword qi, and rolled out with blood, and it had a thumb-deep scar on its chest, and it looked like it couldn't survive.
The mountain ghosts thought that the fruit people were small and easy to hunt, but after a battle, they knew that they had kicked the iron plate, and in just one minute, only two were left dead.
Chirping!
The mountain ghost's cry was a bit like that of a monkey, and when the last one was left, it turned and ran, climbing up a maple tree with its hands and feet and leaping between the branches.
"I'll see where you're going!"
Instead of picking up the crossbow, he directly took off the tactical axe and prepared to smash it.
"Stay alive!"
Natsuno shouted.
The hand of the woad is deflected!
Call!
The tactical axe roared out with the sound of the wind and slashed at the ground ghost's shoulder.
Chirping!
The ground ghost screamed and fell from the trunk of the tree, but fortunately, it grabbed its hands and finally controlled the fall, but this blow also made it flee even more desperately.
"Catch up!"
Xia Ye picked up Tai'a, mountain ghosts are like monkeys, they live in groups, generally speaking, there will be at least thirty or forty in a group, these are adult and old male mountain ghosts in front of them, those young and female mountain ghosts must be staying in the nest.
"It's troublesome!"
Woad fruit is a little depressed, there are mountain ghosts near the tribe, this is simply a big problem, once they find the tribe, they will be like wolves found a sheepfold, and they will continue to harass all day long, until they kill and eat all the prey inside.
"Calm down!"
Xia Ye left a living mouth, just to follow up to see where the mountain ghost's lair was.
The mountain ghost leaped between the branches of trees seven or eight meters above the ground, moving quickly and disappearing, but the blood flowing from the wound clearly pointed the way.
After about twenty minutes of tracking, the two men came to a cave.
"Do you want to go in?"
He stretched out his head to take a look, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything in the darkness.
"No, go home!"
Lacking preparation, Xia Ye didn't want to rush in, because that would leave a smell, and the mountain ghosts were alert and cunning, if they were guarded, it would be much more difficult to kill them at once.
On the way back, the atmosphere was naturally not pleasant, but it was lucky that I ran into the herd of cows again.
Twelve cows, leisurely eating grass in the woodland.
"What should I do? Tie them up one by one?"
Woad licked the corners of her mouth.
"Catch the leading bull first, and see if the others will follow back to the tribe!"
Xia Ye is not a herdsman, he has never caught cattle and sheep, and he doesn't know how to start, but everything has a first time, anyway, cows don't hurt people, and it's a big deal to fail and start again.
"I'm coming!"
Woad quietly lurked towards the bull, in her impression, to catch is to surrender, so when she was six meters away, she suddenly ran out, hugged the bull's left front leg with both hands, followed by a big windmill, and smashed the bull to the ground.
Bang!
Grass clippings flying.
Moo!
The cows were startled, but instead of running, the cows formed a circle, protected the calves in the middle, and watched the two uninvited guests warily.
Xia Ye covered his eyes, not wanting to look at it anymore, this is really not a little technical.
Tossed until dusk and sunset, Xia Ye finally led the twelve cows with hemp rope and came back.
"The master is mighty!"
Friday immediately sent a sycophant, and cleverly went to pick up the reins.
"Build a cowshed first, the work of cutting grass and feeding the cattle every day is yours, remember, their lives are more expensive than yours, if you die, I will dry you salted fish!"
In order to eat the delicacy called cream as soon as possible, she kept asking Xia Ye how to raise a cow on the way back.
Burst!
Xia Ye, who was originally depressed, suddenly felt a lot better when he saw the macaw tied into a cocoon hanging from a tree branch.
"The master is mighty!"
"The master is mighty!"
The parrot has no discipline at all, and its mouth is a fart that is now learned.
"Little master, do you want to put it in the pot?"
Friday inquiry.
"Let's go!"
Woad is not yet angry with a little parrot.
Crackle!
The rain became heavier without warning, and the heavy raindrops smashed down on the head and face, and it was like a scoop in an instant.
The cattle panicked.
There was no way, Xia Ye and the three of them braved the heavy rain, and they quickly built a cowshed, which could cover a little bit.
A lot of dry firewood has been collected a long time ago, so you can still eat hot meals at night, but today I met a mountain ghost, so Xia Ye is not in the mood to cook food.
So with Jiaduo, the three of them hated the mountain ghosts to death.
"Rest early!"
Seeing that after eating, Xiangguo took the playing cards and prepared to fight the landlord for a few more games, Xia Ye shook his head, and carved the plan on the bamboo slip with a straight knife for survival.
Tomorrow when the rain is clear, we should burn some charcoal first, and then let the woad go to find suitable soil and prepare to fire some clay pots and mud bricks.
Clay pots were used as containers for milk or other things, while mud bricks were used for buildings such as cowsheds and chicken coops.
Once you have milk, you can make cream and butter, which are essential ingredients for many pastries.
"Do you want to make brown sugar into white sugar?"
Xia Ye thought about it, but still gave up, there were too many things to do, and it was not his turn to be such an inconsequential vignette.
"If you're bored, I'll teach you a game called Ghost Drawing!"
Xia Ye smiled when he saw Woo Guo shuffling the cards over and over again.
Although Jiaduo is also interested in drawing ghost cards, he is more curious about the things written by Xia Ye, in this era of ultra-low literacy rate, he can write, regardless of whether it looks good or not, he is a knowledgeable person.
"Can I take a look?"
After getting permission from Xia Ye, Jiaduo looked at the bamboo slips, and then was shocked: "You can burn pottery?"
"Learned some!"
Xia Ye remembered his clay pots engraved with the beginning of the sword technique to ward off evil spirits, do you want to repeat a few words of exercises by yourself?
"You know how to burn pottery, and the tribe actually lets you participate in the Blood Survival Trial?
Jiaduo was speechless, pottery burning is a kind of technical work, from the selection of soil, embryo, to cellaring, firing, those tribes who can burn pottery will control the steps very strictly, because this is a tool to make money and survive.
Natsuno shrugged his shoulders.
Jiaduo continued to turn over the bamboo slips, but the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, what is this mud brick? Brown sugar knows, this is really made by Xia Ye, but what is white sugar? There are also charcoal and saltpeter, there are many new terms, I don't understand it at all.
After watching some of them, Jiaduo was completely blinded, but her eyes were shining, and her hands were clutching the bamboo slips.
In this era, it was very difficult to acquire knowledge, so the wise were respected.
If it weren't for the fact that he still retained a piece of personal reserve and wanted to maintain the dignity of the tribe, Jiaduo really wanted to kneel and beg Xia Ye to explain the things on these bamboo slips in detail.
"+1 opinion now, right?"
Looking at Jiaduo's tangled expression, a smile overflowed at the corner of Xia Ye's mouth, he deliberately showed this alien beauty, relying on favors and interests alone, it is impossible to make Jiaduo completely return to his heart, after all, people are of different races, and there is a natural estrangement.
At this time, a cult of personality is established, and the wise man with vast knowledge is the natural object of worship.
As for the martial arts, Xia Ye, who is at the sixth order of the Body Refining Realm, is not enough to see at all, and in these strokes of the Xia clan, he is a salted fish level.
The next morning, Xia Ye was not happy, the rainstorm had no intention of stopping, so that the plan was about to be stranded before it started, and by noon, he didn't care about the plan and began to worry about the vegetable garden.
If the rain continues like this, the seeds will not come out.
The clouds were like lead, thick on the sky, blocking out the light, making the forest even darker.
Click!
Thunder and lightning began to roar.
I had nothing to do, I could only play cards, and I didn't want to stay alone in the wooden house on Friday, so I came to the ancestral stone house, preferring to get drenched in the rain rather than leave.
Xia Ye's heart couldn't be hardened after all, seeing the wild man squatting at the door and shivering, he sighed and let him come in to roast the fire.
"The master is wise!"
Friday cheered, very sensible, and worried about soiling the floor, so he cowered in the corner, craned his neck and watched the three of them play cards.
Syllable!
The woad threw over a biscuit.
"Thank you, little master!"
Friday smiled toothlessly, and ate slowly, this is a biscuit, the owner's homemade food, with expensive brown sugar and raisins, the best snack that the tribal chiefs can't eat.
Jiaduo glanced at Friday, then at Xia Ye and Woo, and found that none of them cared, as if they had done an extremely ordinary thing.
This made Jiaduo very emotional, who in any tribe would treat slaves so favorably? Dare to enter the ancestral altar? Then wait for the beheading and blood sacrifice!
"Xia Ye and Xiangguo are so kind-hearted, they shouldn't be too bad to treat their aunts, right?"
Jiaduo is looking forward to a better life in the future.
"Play the cards!"
Woad urges.
"Discard!"
"Discard!"
The parrot barked along, and even in front of it, there were some crumbs of biscuits, which were fed by little Lori, so now the parrot has become her dog's leg, helping her learn to speak.
Xia Ye was calculating what cards the two of them had in their hands, and the result was a deafening thunderclap.
Bang!
At that moment, the heavens and the earth were illuminated in a white expanse.
Xia Ye's gaze suddenly stared out, as his left eye became in sharp pain.
