Chapter 18: Here I Am Again, Jungle!
Twilight.
Ye Xi sat cross-legged on the big wooden stake, looking up at the gradually setting sun, while playing with the weapon in his hand.
The twilight is heavy, the clouds are dyed into large swaths of golden-red sunset, and under the sunset, a group of homing pterosaurs constantly sweeps across the sky. The roar of dinosaurs faintly came from the jungle in the distance, and Ye Xi could imagine that if he stood on the top of Xiaotu Mountain, he would definitely be able to see the dinosaurs raising their heads and screaming one after another under the blood-red sunset.
After a few days, the hunting team still did not find salty stones, no raw materials, and Ye Xi had no way to refine salt.
"Why did you make the weapon like this?" "Yong walked up to him at some point and looked at the weapon in his hand.
The weapon was made of a piece of snow-white bone, and the overall shape was strangely prismatic, with three blood grooves dug into the side, which looked rather strange.
Ye Xi looked at it and smiled: "Don't look at it strangely, this is a very murderous weapon." ”
"Oh?" "Yong wondered, would such a weapon be powerful?
"It's not like a knife or a dagger, what is it?"
"Triangular Army Thorn...... By the way, thank you for the bone materials you gave me. ”
Yong waved his hand: "This is nothing, this bone is not a fierce beast bone." ”
"The bones of the Thunder Dragon are only a little worse than the bones of the fierce beasts, and they are also excellent weapon materials that are not usually found, if you go to exchange them with others, you can definitely exchange them for good things, and it is a big loss to give them to me. ”
"You've solved the tribe's water shortage problem, what are these bones?" said Yong.
Ye Xi shook his head, the reward for solving the water, Wu had already given it to him, besides, it was not Yong's turn to break the fee to give him a reward, it should be that he thanked Yong for helping him hunt the Spinosaurus.
But he needed a weapon now, so he had to take it first, and then double it back when he had the opportunity to pay him back later.
"Why did you make this weapon?"
"Because in a few days I will follow the fruit-picking procession into the jungle. ”
"What did you say?!" Yong's voice rose suddenly, visibly frightened.
Ye Xi plucked out his ears helplessly: "Why are you so surprised, my current strength is enough to participate in the picking team." ”
That being said, but who Ye Xi was, a disciple of Wu, he never thought that Ye Xi would go into the jungle to pick fruits like those ordinary people.
No one in the tribe would ask Ye Xi to pick fruits together, unless Ye Xi wanted to go by himself.
Yong's brows furrowed, and he looked disapproving: "Ye Xi, you don't know how dangerous it is in the jungle. Did you mention to the chief about going into the jungle to pick fruit?"
Ye Xi nodded: "Not only did the chief agree, but Wu also agreed." ”
What? Both of them agreed!
Yong paced back and forth anxiously, wanting to say that it was really nonsense, but after all, it was Wu's decision, and he couldn't say anything.
Ye Xi said unhurriedly: "I know that the jungle is dangerous, but I have to go into the jungle again, my teacher Shennong has given me a lot of valuable knowledge, and there are many useful but inconspicuous plants buried in this jungle." ”
As he spoke, Ye Xi's gaze fell on the jungle in the distance.
Yong gradually stopped being anxious, and looked at the jungle with Ye Xi in silence.
After a long time, Ye Xi said quietly: "...... They can solve the food problem of the tribe and even the problem of injury. ”
"Alas!" finally Yong let out a long sigh.
Wu and the chief agreed, what could he say.
Seeing that Yong was worried about becoming like this, Ye Xi's heart warmed slightly. But he had to go to the jungle, he knew in his heart that any excuse to find plants, the real reason was his desire to enter the jungle and venture in this magnificent primeval jungle, which was the adventure factor that had been buried in his blood in his previous life.
No matter how reluctant Yong was, a few days later, Ye Xi still entered the fruit-picking team.
Ye Xi ate a piece of sweet potato and a small piece of jerky in the morning to ensure that his physical strength was sufficient. Before leaving, he carefully checked his equipment again, tugging on his belt vigorously to make sure that the three-edged thorn did not fall off while running.
After all, it's something that saves your life in case of danger.
At this time, Kura and another warrior walked over.
Ye Xi thought that the warehouse was here to tell him to pay attention to safety, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, there won't be any danger." ”
Position: "I know. ”
Ye Xi: "?"
"Because we will be with you and protect you. ”
Ye Xi was surprised, she didn't expect that someone would be arranged to protect her: "The chief sent you?"
Cangpan and the warrior glanced at each other, and there was a smile in their eyes: "yes, you don't think that the chieftain will really trust you to enter the jungle, right?"
Ye Xi smiled helplessly and movingly: "After all, there shouldn't be any problems with that route if you are careful, the chiefs are too careful." ”
"You are important to the tribe, and you can't be too careful. The other soldier laughed, "By the way, thank you for saving me last time with Sanqi." ”
Only then did Ye Xi recognize him: "You are...... "The man who was badly wounded and dying by the beast.
Ye Xi looked at his stomach, and there was only a faint scar left on it. The warriors were too resilient, and he remembered that there was a big hole in it.
"I'm Qi, I really thanked you last time, I thought I was going to die. ”
"It's nothing. ”
Cangpan clapped his palms: "Okay, everyone, the old story is over, it's time for us to go!" This time, the fruit-picking team was led by Cangpan, and seeing that the time was almost up, Cangpan announced.
After half a month, Ye Xi stepped into the jungle again.
The team of twelve people who picked the fruit all faintly surrounded Ye Xi in a protective posture, allowing him to walk in the middle of the team, and on Ye Xi's side, there was a warehouse and a deed with weapons.
There are few ferns in this area, and it is surrounded by ancient trees that have been formed over time.
Ye Xi carefully stepped over the knotted roots of the ground, knee-high roots covered in slippery moss.
"Chirp, tweet. "Crisp and melodious birdsong came from the trees.
Ye Xi looked up and saw a very beautiful bird parked on the branch above his head!
The bird was slightly larger than the peacock, and its whole body was aqua blue, with only a ring of tender yellow feathers inlaid at the edges, and the feathers and crown feathers were extremely long, intertwined and drooping, like gorgeous tassels.
It tilted its head, looking at them curiously with its round, black jewel-like eyes.
"What kind of bird is this, it's so beautiful!" Ye Xi asked the warehouse softly, afraid of scaring it away.
Cangpan glanced at it, and said indifferently: "This is called a long-feathered finch, it is good-looking, it has a very fierce temperament, and it is difficult to fight." ”
It's fierce, Ye Xi met its black jewel-like eyes.
"Chirp!" the long-feathered finch chirped innocently.
I can't see it.
At this time, a group of dragonflies as big as eagles passed by the tree, and these dragonflies had blood-red eyes and frighteningly large claws on the side of their beaks, which were not easy to provoke at first glance.
Hula, the long-feathered finch suddenly rose into the air, the gorgeous feathers unfolded, and flew into the dragonfly flock at once, the sharp claws grabbed it, a dragonfly was firmly clamped in the claws, the dragonflies around wanted to attack, the long-feathered finch was not afraid at all, flapped its wings, and drove them all away.
Is...... Birds can't look good!" Ye Xi sighed.
As they walked, a giant horse with a length of more than 20 meters suddenly passed by their team slowly.
Such a big Ma Lu! Ye Xi couldn't help but stand on end.
But don't look at its hideous appearance, it's actually a vegetarian, and it has a docile personality and doesn't usually attack people.
In the past few days, Ye Xi has made up for the knowledge of jungle creatures, so he didn't jump up in fright at the moment.
"Do you want to go up and sit for a while?" Qi asked Ye Xidao.
Go up and sit...... Giant Malu?!
Ye Xi licked his dry lips: "Won't it be angry?" Although it is said that it is a vegetarian, it is also very dangerous for such a big person to lose his temper.
The warehouse on the other side smiled and said, "No, this guy is very wooden, as long as you don't hurt it, you can take a ride." ”
The giant horse is pale yellow throughout, and its dense wrists and feet are pushed back in waves as if they were rowing a boat.
Sit on...... Sounds like a good look?
"Then let's go sit down for a while. ”
So Ye Xi, Cangpan and Cone climbed on Ma Lu's back, and for fear that Ma Lu would protest because it was too heavy, the other people did not sit together, but followed Ma Lu's side.
Really sit on it!
Ye Xi touched Ma Lu's slippery hard shell, his heart beat faster, he was really sitting on the back of such a prehistoric giant insect!
Ma Lu didn't seem to notice that there were three people sitting on his back, and he didn't look back, and continued to paddle forward slowly without a pause.
It's so stable! Ye Xi felt that the pale yellow hard shell under his buttocks was icy and slippery, and it was quite comfortable. After sitting on it, looking at it again, it doesn't seem to be very hideous, but I feel a little cute and simple.
Ye Xi sat cross-legged on the giant horse land, the breeze blowing softly, and looked around comfortably to see if there were any familiar plants.
Hey?
This plant in front of you is so familiar!
