Chapter 30: Finding the Trail
I saw a little boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old lying on the trunk of a tree, and only the sensitive parts of his body were surrounded by animal skins, and there was no cloth elsewhere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He had the complexion and appearance of a Caucasian man, with a firm nose.
A lot of freckles had begun to appear on his pink and red face, but he didn't use animal bones to penetrate his nose as an ornament like the men in the tribe, and he didn't look like a barbarian at all, but like a normal human child.
At this time, his whole body trembled, his small eyes were closed tightly, and he did not shout like other children, but lay there quietly, as if waiting for the arrangement of fate.
In fact, his heart is not calm at all, he is more afraid of the snakes below than anyone else, especially when he sees more and more snakes below, and in the blink of an eye, there are so many that people are desperate, except for hoping that the clansmen will find themselves disappear as soon as possible, there is no way to do it.
But when Ren Shaorui's thirteen-meter figure appeared in front of him, he was really desperate, even at his young age, he knew that he was afraid that he was in a catastrophe today, and the small expectation in his heart also dissipated, and he was even afraid to see his own people, because he knew that his people would not be the opponent of the big python in front of him.
Despair has been permeated in his heart, he has never seen a python can grow so huge, although he was born in the deep mountains, pythons have seen a lot, but the largest is only seven or eight meters, this thirteen-meter-long, one-meter-thick python, don't say you've seen it, you've never heard of it, maybe only the old people in the clan will know it!
The last time I saw a python was three years ago, when the clansmen surrounded and killed an eight-meter python, he saw with his own eyes, although the python was killed in the end, but the clansmen also died three, many people cried that day, and it was that day that he knew that the more huge the python, the more terrifying.
At this time, seeing the python that was even bigger than three years ago, he was desperate and helpless, if it wasn't for the insistence in his heart, he would have fallen from the trunk.
Although he was terrified, he did not regret leaving his people and coming here to look for herbs, if he could not find herbs today, his father would not be cured, and then his mother would have to go out hunting in his place, which is no less dangerous for a woman than to die.
Although the tribe has found some fixed places to hunt easily, it is not so lucky every day, and it is easy to get prey, sometimes a group of more than a dozen giant rats will rush out together, whenever this time, it is the hardest time for the tribe, often because of carelessness to get injured, or die.
His father's leg was bitten by a giant rat because of carelessness, and the whole leg had begun to swell and rot because it was not cured in time, and when he was sent back to the tribe, the whole person was already in a coma.
The only patriarch in the tribe who can heal is also helpless, so he can only find a way to curb it, and there is no better countermeasure, but this requires a large number of herbs, and the herbs in the clan are quickly used up.
Seeing his father in pain on the wooden bed, he thought of a solution, which was to go out in the morning to look for herbs.
The first few days were relatively smooth, with the support of a large number of herbs, his father's complexion improved somewhat, and sometimes he would wake up for a while, although he was still so weak, but the wound did not continue to deteriorate, and even the patriarch said that as long as his father rested well and recuperated more, he might even be cured.
But when he came to pick herbs with a good mood today, a half-meter-long little snake appeared in front of him, although the two were seven or eight meters apart, he felt very strange, this little snake did not have the slightest fear after seeing himself, and did not leave for a while, so he quietly raised the snake's head and looked at him.
Just as he was about to chase away the little snake, the little snake actually roared, and the sound was so loud that it even made him wonder if the sound came from the snake's mouth, because he had never seen a snake that could make such a huge hissing sound.
Although he was curious about the voice of this little snake, it did not arouse his vigilance enough, and his mood was still in the news that his father's health was improving.
But after only two or three minutes, he felt that something was wrong, and snakes, big and small, gradually surrounded them from all directions, from one or two at the beginning, to dozens in the blink of an eye.
The moment he realized that something was wrong, he immediately wanted to leave here with the herbs, but when he wanted to leave, all the snakes immediately showed their fierce side, blocked in front of him, and as long as he dared to take a step forward, they immediately pounced on him and wanted to bite him.
He picked up some thick tree trunks from the ground and tried to drive them away, but to his horror, he found that no matter how much he drove them, the snakes would not back down, even if he hit the other with the trunks, they would not take a step back.
By the time he tried to rush out, there were more than a thousand snakes around him, and then these snakes began to press on him step by step, and finally he had to climb up the tree as a last resort.
When they climbed to the tree, the surrounding snakes did not have the slightest intention of leaving, and the number continued to increase, and in a blink of an eye, it reached a dense and terrifying level, and even a large snake with a body size of more than three meters appeared one after another.
However, what made him strange was that these snakes had no intention of harming him since they appeared, they just surrounded him, as if they were waiting for something, including the six-meter giant python.
After Ren Shaorui arrived, he suddenly realized that this group of snakes was waiting for the arrival of the true king, and the next step was to eat himself!
With nostalgia for his parents and worry for his father, the little boy closed his eyes, and the whole time, he did not leave a single tear.
I don't know why, seeing the child's death-like look, Ren Shaorui had the urge to laugh, he really didn't have the slightest malice towards this child, after all, the other party was too young, even if he ate it, it would not be good for him, and the child was more beneficial to himself.
Ren Shaorui slowly raised his snake head and kept approaching the boy in the tree.
The position of the boy was not very high from the ground, only six or seven meters high, and Ren Shaorui could reach this height by only slightly raising the snake's head.
At this time, the little boy's body trembled even more when he was about to die with the trunk of the tree, perhaps because he smelled a fishy smell that made him feel a huge thing approaching him, which made him can't help but open his eyes to take a look.
