Section 5 Winter

Outside the cave, snowflakes rose in the sky, white and flowing like goose feathers, and in a few moments a thin layer was laid on the ground, covering the withered yellow of the weeds and the bare branches.

All life fell silent at this time, and the cold winter announced its arrival in such a simple and clear way.

Far from the roaring campfire, there was an emaciated young man, dressed in rough animal skins, who was constantly changing his movements, only to see him like a tiger pounced forward for a while, and like a bear roaring in the sky for a while...... In total, no less than ten animal movements were demonstrated.

He seems to be a special outlier in this winter period, no matter how noisy the child is, he will stay quietly by the campfire in winter, let the raging fire warm his body, and he is still so thin.

And this child, who is a little different in the eyes of others, is Su Ming, whose body has recovered. As a tribal sacrifice, Hui has adopted a free-range approach to all the selected reserve sacrifices, as long as he can complete the homework he has assigned, the rest of the time, he doesn't care if you do anything.

As a reserve sacrifice in the tribe, others can't talk about Su Ming's education, so they can only let him toss at will, as long as there is no danger to his life.

In this way, Su Ming has a lot of personal freedom, and he does not have to participate in the labor of the tribe.

After becoming a reserve sacrifice, Su Ming got more and better food every time than before, and such rich food also made his body recover quickly.

Otherwise, in just over a month or so, he would have been able to start practicing the Elementary Body Forging Technique, although he hadn't grown to the same strength as before.

This is the ten days since he began to practice the primary body forging technique, and the daily practice has made everyone accustomed to his behavior, and they will no longer gather around him to watch his weird performances.

Facing everyone's strange eyes, insisting on exercising also gave Su Ming a rich reward, and now his strength has reached his own stage of total victory, and his body movements have become more agile and his endurance is stronger.

In particular, the muscles in Su Ming's body have begun to transform, and each muscle fiber has become more capricious and powerful. Although the muscles that Su Ming has now are only a thin layer, the explosive power he shows has improved a lot, a lot, compared to before.

Every movement of the body forging technique was deeply engraved in his mind, except for Su Ming, who was not very proficient at the beginning of his practice, every movement needed to be corrected by the system, and after he became proficient a few times, he could already complete all the body forging movements smoothly.

This half-crippled system is still somewhat useful, at least Su Ming himself knows that if he relied on himself to memorize these forty-five complex movements, he would not have such a fast speed, let alone such a standard action.

The last time I used the deduction function, and I almost died, the system has evolved a bit according to the actual situation, and a new function has appeared, showing the amount of energy that the host can use while keeping the host safe.

And now, the system shows that Su Ming's available energy is zero, fortunately there is such a function now, otherwise Su Ming will not dare to use it again in the future.

This accident did not show the shortcomings of this system without intelligence, but it also discovered the advantages of this system, which can be passively evolved, add new functions, and can be continuously improved.

In fact, in winter, life in the tribe is very boring, and every morning, follow Hui to learn knowledge, that is, to identify more than a dozen common herbs, and memorize their collection period, as well as medicinal value.

In the evening, Su Ming practiced the primary body forging technique, because only when he was full of food and had sufficient energy, he would have a good effect when practicing the body forging technique, after all, we still have to abide by the law of conservation of energy.

One herb a day, a reincarnation for more than ten days, and then the assessment of herbal knowledge. One by one, they lined up to identify the three dried herbs that Hui randomly took out, and explained the environment in which they like to grow, when to pick them, and their medicinal value.

Every time he took the assessment, Su Ming could pass the test smoothly, and every time after explaining a herb to the sacrificial Hui, he would write the knowledge he had learned on the stone wall with charcoal, so that he could consult it at any time, and he was not afraid of forgetting or remembering it all of a sudden.

Relying on his ability to write, Hui's assessment of him did not stump him again, which also made the sacrificial Hui even more satisfied with him, and he had already been listed as the first reserve sacrifice of the tribe.

You must know that even when he first started learning these knowledge, when he faced the assessment of the former sacrifice, he could not pass every assessment smoothly.

............

Everything is developing on a positive side, just like the longest since the beginning of winter, when the heavy snow that had been falling for eight days finally stopped, or Su Ming finally regained his body shape before the accident.

It's been more than two months since the beginning of winter, and when the heavy snow stops, Su Ming also wants to be like the other traversers in the novel, preparing to go fishing in the river below the cave.

In front of the thin rope of the fishing line, a thick hook made of animal bones that had been polished with stones for several days, bacon from the bait saved from the rations, and even a thick rope for threading the fish.

Everything was ready, but as soon as Su Ming came out of the cave, this excellent plan for fishing ran aground without limits, and there was no fire pit outside the cave to keep warm, and the temperature was really going to freeze to death.

It turned out that everyone didn't stop him from coming out of the cave, it turned out that they all knew that it was unrealistic, and it also made Su Ming think of a stillborn excuse to get out of the cave, and it was better to stay in the cave in winter.

After giving up the plan to fish out of the hole, Su Ming put all his mind on studying and exercising, which also made him become an official reserve sacrifice by the sacrifice Hui this winter.

After Hui's death, he will directly become the sacrifice of the Fire Tribe, and the other two children used to nurture the sacrifice - White Fang and Black Ear, although they have lost the opportunity to inherit the sacrifice, they will also be trained to be the assistant of the tribe sacrifice, and their status in the tribe is still very high.

Because now that Su Ming has officially become a reserve sacrifice, Hui's teaching of his various knowledge has also begun to be carried out according to his learning speed, after all, his learning speed is too different from that of White Fang and Black Er.

Rules and precautions for communicating with other tribes, precautions for worshipping the god of fire, when to hunt those prey, the habits and physical weaknesses of various prey, how to draw a simple map, and most importantly, how to interpret the drawings on the stone walls.
