23.Chapter 23: The Fields of Hunger

"I still don't understand what the hell you're trying to do, half-blood Colin!", the queen was furious, and she couldn't even breathe after staying by the side of this disgusting cavern for so long. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 A thick rancid smell emanating from the bottom of the pit lingered around the queen, as if a large swarm of flying flies could not get rid of it, not to mention the blood that flowed from the shoulders of the old minister Louis, as if the maggots and slugs around them found a sweet fragrance and slowly moved towards the queen

"I've already said it, I just want to find a place with a lot of people to stay, make friends, and completely change this boring life~"

"The guys in this pit are all people who don't want to be friends with me, so I have to let my little ones eat them slowly, do you want to go down and be with those stinky bones?" Colin laughed as he chuckled as he drooled the corners of his mouth

"If you had this idea, you would have gotten us down!", Louis replied, the wound in front of his ribs did not heal quickly, this guy is really not a good thing to mess with

"You're smart~", Colin continued to taunt

"It's been a long time since I've been tasked with it, and the only thing to do is to take care of these reptile pits, and occasionally let the big guy who also can't find anything to do, boring, lonely, haha, I've been in the Land of Dead Wood for I don't know how many years, and I don't even dare to come to the Birdman tribe who gives orders, and every time it's Martin, the Mole and I, who meet up with me, to convey to me the next target to be assassinated. So I'll chase that pathetic guy day and night to schizophrenia, but I won't kill them easily, and I can't finally find some fun for myself, but I can't just enjoy it in one go~"

"Then, the Great Elders will send me one or two paralyzed half-spider women, sometimes there are porcupines or even half-rabbits, but I am reluctant to ravage them so easily~, you must know that I really want to be friends with them, but these guys are scared to death after waking up, and I still clearly remember that there is a birdman named Lula, if from an aesthetic point of view, it should be regarded as a beauty of the birdman tribe. But it was as if she had been babbling that she had been deprived of the right to hatch her eggs, and that it was because the guy called Morpheus had taken possession of her before the hatching period, so she was sent to me. You see, I tried to help her, and I learned some basic techniques from Martin, but this girl didn't even ride on it, and desperately tried to make a mark on me with her little paws, so I had to twist her neck. But this guy had a good fate, and he was actually taken by Kargas, so he was not eaten to pieces by those little insects under the pit~"

“...... Hmm", the queen and the old minister Louis, they didn't even dare to move, they could only hear the half-blood bastard in front of them talking, and I really didn't know when his terrifying tongue needle would hit me inexplicably

"Hey, interesting, Martin had already come to me the moment the town of Gordon suddenly dimmed, and I thought of the only possibility, that is, you will inevitably break through the blockade, reach this land of dead wood, and return to the dry field again, so, I don't bother to care what Martin wants to do [revolution], yo, this word is really fresh, and I'm really a little hard to understand, but it doesn't matter, because the important thing is to wait for you here, and then we have a good talk~"

"Colin, I understand a little, you mean, the Council of Great Elders already knew about my return?"

"Haha, the queen is not stupid at all~", Colin sputtered spit out of his mouth, spraying the queen in front of him all over his face, this guy used spider silk to hang himself up again, it seems that after the hybrid, he will retain the habits of the previous tribe, but the brain is not necessarily developed, and the queen is pondering everything that comes out of this guy's mouth

"Then why don't the Great Elders send elite patrols to hunt us down?"

"Are you looking down on my abilities?", Colin suddenly became angry, as if he had entered a state of battle

"What Colin means is that the elites of those tribes can't catch the queen and others, of course, except that Colin has this ability~", the old minister Louis hurried to round the field, lest there be one more hole in the queen's body, which would be a big loss

"Ha, haha, hahahaha", Colin laughed, the laughter was so exaggerated that it seemed as if the whole land of Deadwood was trembling over it

"I didn't expect you guys to be really interesting, how about it, I'm also an interesting guy, let's make friends!", Colin's eyes began to blink in unison, and the strange look made the queen at a loss, but she had to express the doubts in her heart

"Friends can't be betrayed, Martin is now estimated to go to the wooden bridge to rob Frye Folkie and the others, and you promised them to help before, we all know that the mole people can not compete with the birdman tribe in terms of fighting, and even the shadow gecko may not be able to pass, are you ready to watch your friend die?"

Unexpectedly, this remark made Colin's face extremely ugly, and a few eyes turned around, but he couldn't turn a name

"He always doesn't listen to me, his ambitions are too high, I can't help him~, besides, I didn't promise him whether he wanted to go, I just wanted to see what the benefits were, I really wasn't interested in the women of the mole people, and I was surrounded by fresh earthy smells. So, I can only give up this friend~"

"Tell me about your other friend, Kargas, then, and what kind of good fellow he is?", the queen continued, so that Colin would feel less guilty in his head, and it would not end well if he was angry again

"Haha, he?, I should call it, no one can talk to it, except Colin and me!"

"You mean?"

"That's right, it's going to come back here soon, but don't worry, as long as you want to be my friend, there won't be any danger, this guy is a failure, he has lived for so many years, he doesn't know who his parents are, what's even funnier is that he often forgets what he ate yesterday, and just waits for death in this dead wood land like me~"

"Ah, is that the one?"

"Yes, the old thing that has lived for more than a hundred years, the Kargas who lives on the sap of the trees every day, the big guy that the tribe has passed on by word of mouth, of course, not the one that appeared in the thick fog."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to give it a name~", the queen was also a little happy, although she was in danger, but if you think about it differently, assuming that what Colin said is true, then even the most normal tribes will be forced to become crazy in this land of dead wood, loneliness and loneliness are the biggest killers of all lives

"Yo, I didn't expect you to like this name too, Queen?", Colin also cheered, applauding his former feat

The two of them chatted like this, and the queen told Colin about his life in Gordon, which was much more interesting than Colin's boring life. For example, if the cod is baked on the fire and baked with a little rouge, you can make a good cod cake, and the taste is much better than that of the half-rabbit man. And if you drink a large glass of aged wine, the taste can be intoxicating compared to drinking blood directly, not to mention that if you can have a piece of fat lamb sticking to pepper powder and a freshly cooked onion, this dish will definitely make all the nocturnal beasts who drink blood change their ways, and never touch any living creatures except for tasting some sashimi~

And Colin also talked about the wonders of the land of dead wood, and the behemoth in the fog never seemed to come to this area, so Colin could also jostly weave through the tall trees at night, occasionally catching two caterpillars at the top of the trunk to eat, which tasted much more delicious than the stupid slugs lying in the middle and lower parts of the trunk. And Colin often looks at the annual grove sacrifice from a distance from the perspective of a bystander, listening to the laughter that can no longer be distinguished, and the chorus of mourning from the top of the grove at the climax of the sacrifice, when the fog rises, it seems that the entire ruined forest is like a frightened half-rabbit man, waiting for the arrival of the behemoth. The only thing that could be seen from where Colin was was the slowly swirling mist, little by little from the top of the bushes to the surrounding jungle, and once again Colin even wanted to sneak into the bushes, but was soon discovered by the birdman patrols, so he had to flee back, after all, without permission, Colin could only be banished here, day after day, year after year

Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them seemed to be long-lost friends, talking heartily, unaware that a behemoth around them had already arrived. Louis, an old minister who was already alert to this, was so frightened that he tried to hide aside, but the queen still stood still, unresponsive to the threat

"Well, this is Kargas!", the queen looked approvingly, at the big creature almost as tall as a bush, who had accidentally rescued the remnants of her tribe's savior. Of course, if the queen of that generation had climbed a little slower, she might have already become the belly of this guy

"Hey, Kargas, come and see my two new friends!", Colin danced as several half-spider paws beat happily

And the big slug, called Calgas, was obviously not so close, and its long tentacles stretched out, and went back and forth on the face, chest, and ass of the queen and the old minister Louis, and only after a moment reluctantly left the two who had become slimy. Then this terrifying guy actually showed his huge teeth, but if you look closely, this tooth is actually ..... accumulated from white bones, which are mixed with the bones of various night beast tribes, and there are several kinds of birdman tribes that can be distinguished, which shows how many tribes this guy has eaten, and the queen can't help but panic in her heart

"Don't be afraid, it said it wouldn't eat you~", Colin did a good job of translating, "When you show your teeth, you mean you're a friend~", Colin then added. But in the queen's mind, this guy also showed his teeth at the moment when the hunting team caught up with the tribe many years ago~, but the consequences were simply the opposite of what Colin said

However, Colin seemed to be busy communicating with this guy, ignoring the stunned two

After a moment, Colin grinned again

"You want to go back to the tribe's hideout, this guy is willing to help!"

"What?!", the queen and Louis cried out in unison

"Yes, before it dies, I want to taste what the legendary mountain werewolf is like, and by the way, try those fat and strong boar people~"

"What?!", the queen and the old minister Louis asked in unison again, and even the queen herself almost didn't believe herself

"It's dying~", Colin said sadly

"As a failure of [mixed-race], it can't survive this year~"

.....

.....

On the dry plains, a blinding red light sprinkled everywhere, keeping all the Night Beast tribes away, only the banished tribes struggled to survive in this exiled land, and the ground beneath their feet did not even have a tall tree, the mottled rocks were covered with red dirt, and the entire plain was endless, showing a desperate desolation against the background of dense fog and volcanic ash

From time to time, bloody battles would take place on the plains, perhaps for a sip of water, or for a little food to fit into the stomach, whether it was a moving or non-moving animal, plant, or even a rotting corpse. In this extremely harsh plain, everything that happens can no longer be described by the word blood, after all, the law that only the strong can survive has become the law by which every life that survives. Maggots or slugs are rarely seen here, and no amphibian creature can survive, but instead small lizards that don't taste good, or snakes that are not very large, and all kinds of strange insects, some of which look as motionless as rocks, hunt small animals that are looking for grass roots, while others who have been entrenched for a long time will never take it lightly, and must wait until the moment when the greedy predators are eating

For the tribes at the top of the two food chains on the plains, night falls just the best time to hunt, because if they can no longer hunt those chameleon tribes who are good at hiding their bodies as food, perhaps the mountain werewolves and wild boar people will have to hunt each other until one becomes the food of the other

The sign of nightfall often begins with the fog near the cliff wall of the Dead Wood, and when the fog reaches the edge of the cliff of captivity, it seems to descend like a rushing flood, and the thick volcanic ash in the air of the dry field quickly deposits above the dry field, and then slowly descends on the vegetation that can survive on half a saliva to form dew, and then the small depression that is smashed by the volcanic rock becomes the best place to hunt, but for the mountain werewolf Lidman, the already hungry stomach may not be able to catch a chameleon tribe's delicious meal todayAfter all, the jaw that was injured by those terrifying mimic race guys last time has not fully recovered, and as the leader of the entire mountain wolf clan, Lidman failed to make a good role in hunting, which is simply a big shame, which makes the following brothers extremely dissatisfied. But the duck in his hand flew away, and he couldn't blame himself completely, after all, the wild boar man who was also grabbing food was bigger, so he went on a rampage, tearing the contents of Liedman's mouth alive, and the latter who was in pain simply did not resist the enemy, if it weren't for Kepp and Hurley even if they rushed up and surrounded the battle formation, maybe the manic boar man would have brought Liedman back for dinner

The story that his father had told Liedman seemed to spin around in Liedman's head like a fantasy, crossing the towering cliff of captivity, and then finding a way to leave the legendary land of dead wood with evil creatures, and he could reach the Ruined Forest, which was once the home of the mountain wolf clan, with countless sources of meat, and he could drink enough just to drink blood, not to mention how delicious the fragrant tendons and brittle bones were in his mouth, not to mention the occasional sacrifice of one or two lovely women of those inferior races, as long as they were not disgusting animals like half-spider people, they could often still vent their anger, you can eat it on the spot if you are really unhappy~, this wonderful fairy tale, from the grandfather's grandfather's generation, has been passed down by word of mouth to the present, and has become the driving force that maintains the mountain werewolf clan to continue to struggle to survive

But it is not Liedman's father, the noble mountain wolf leader has not made any efforts, the mountain wolf people will go to the cliff wall on a large scale almost every year, trying to rely on their strong jumping ability and claws that can be inserted into the stone wall, slowly climbing up the rock to change their fate, but God does not seem to favor this exiled race at all, often not able to climb halfway, was beaten by the sudden arrival of the birdman tribe, after all, the mountain werewolf clan can not fly, so they can only endure the pain of being attacked by rocks, and even poisonous stingers, and continue to climb, but no one can succeed, because the fastest one is often the worst besiegedThe height of this imprisoned cliff is like a giant sword that only humans can use, pressing the neck of the mountain werewolf tribe on this dry plain, slowly, little by little, letting the mountain werewolf fend for itself

Therefore, the mountain wolf clan, which has always relied on strength and speed to win, in order to reproduce, even learned the chameleon tribe that is good at mimicry, and ambushed in those potholes for a whole day, without moving at all. At this moment, the two brothers behind Lidman, Hurley and Pascal, who were also hungry, gave up waiting intently and fell asleep. This can't but be said to be a good way, after all, it takes a lot of physical energy to hunt, even if it is a small lizard, it needs three people to rush forward and back to catch a strong one, and the creatures in this land are a little too clever

Leadman's mind couldn't help but appear again the stories that his father had said, and the feeling of shame seemed to have long forgotten Leadman's generation, after all, survival is the most important thing, if there is no food in the stomach, how can there be honor and disgrace? However, my father once said that under the leadership of the Birdman tribe and the chameleon tribe, all the Night Beast tribes suddenly attacked the mountain werewolves, and at the cost of sacrificing nearly half of the elite of these tribes, they drove all the mountain werewolves off the cliff of captivity. In Liedman's heart, the battle of that year can no longer be described as victory and defeat at all, and even his sister Hurley once joked that if he could die in a blood-filled battle, it would be better than not having the strength to bite a bite of fat before starving to death~

Because as early as a hundred years ago, the chameleon tribe seemed to have found a holy place that could truly separate the mountain werewolves and wild boar people, and privately violated the worship treaty, so that there were many dead young cubs on this plain again, the mountain werewolves~

But at this moment, it is obvious that Lidman can no longer care about these trivial things, because by feeling, he smelled an older lizard coming to drink water, but this is only the beginning of the hunt, a small guy like a lizard, even if he can make the three-headed mountain werewolf in front of him stuff his teeth, there is no way to let Lidman's wife produce milk to feed the newborn little one to eat, after all, the hunger in the stomach and the continuation of the little life, Liedman will obviously choose the latter, unlike those wild boar people who don't know their six relatives, they will even prey on cubs to satisfy their hunger when they are hungry

“.....” Liedman quietly woke up Hurley, who in turn quietly woke Pascal, who was almost snoring, and the three of them entered the silence before the hunt

Although the grass in the hiding place was not dense enough, its color was very similar to the yellow-black fur of the three mountain wolves, so the three of them were well hidden, and the volcanic ash on his body suppressed the aura of the hunter, so the stupid little lizard did not know at all, it turned out that his threat was not behind him, but not far ahead

Soon, the little creature seemed to be satisfied, and his alert head no longer looked around, but stretched out long to determine the direction back to his cave. However, at that moment, a slender snake ejected from the dew-filled grass at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye, swallowing the thing into its mouth before the little lizard slowly moved to the outskirts of the grass, trying to hide and eat under the tall rocks

Hey poked Liedman with his elbow, signaling if he would just go out and catch him back, but he didn't expect Liedman to calm down, after all, his father said that if you can have a few more rounds of life-and-death predation, those damn chameleon tribes will make a move, and it will be worth fighting again at that time, otherwise you kid is likely to see a rock next to him move so abruptly, and maybe he will take a bite on your scarred words~

So Liedman calmed down again, suppressed his murderous aura, and waited for that moment to come

Time has passed for a long time, although Liedman and other mountain wolves have long been accustomed to what is called waiting, mosquitoes and ants slowly crawl over them, and even the fleas who don't know what to do have begun to suck blood unscrupulously, but Liedman just entered a state of high alert that was half asleep and half awake, and told the younger brother and sister next to him with his posture to continue to wait~

Sure enough, the snake was actually divided alive, a group of disgusting insects with carapaces, with countless terrifying little feet on their long bodies, torn the snake that was about to feast into pieces, although the process was not magnificent at all, and it was not commendable at all, but the insects with half the length of the snake's body did not care about the sacrifices of their kind, and kept launching a general attack on the snake that was torn in two

Although he couldn't see the battle situation too clearly, Lidman knew that this was about to come to an end, the chameleon tribe liked the taste of this kind of bug quite a lot, and when he heard Suosuo's voice, he knew that there were no less than ten bugs, which was enough for any chameleon to eat several meals, so Lidman closed his eyes and let his innate hunting perception judge the grass and trees within half a league

However, soon, this state of concentration was broken by a restlessness, and the familiar smell of body odor followed, and the two young boar people jumped out of the haystack not far away, eating the insects that were fleeing into the desert one by one, and by the way, the lizard meat and snake meat that were torn into pieces were also included, this scene simply made Hurley's saliva flow directly, so Hurley couldn't help but want to jump out anymore, but Liedman actually stopped her impulsive behavior

"There's the big ones watching from behind, it's the boar people teaching their cubs how to hunt," Liedman said in sign language

"The three of us go together, if we can kill one, it will be counted as one, and the other small one will definitely escape with the big one!", and Hurley did not hesitate to make a simple gesture in sign language

"But we might have suffered casualties, what if that big guy went crazy? I think he should have known that we were hiding here, after all, the boar man's nose is brighter than ours," Liedman continued

"Okay, then you just watch little Lidman starve to death~", Hurley was obviously angry, and he didn't bother to pay attention to his brother, and Pascal was also speechless, the fat was all in front of him, no matter how much he was, eat two bites to replenish his strength first~

Lidman's heart was surging, whether it was attacking or lurking, he had no accuracy~

But at this moment, the cry from the two little cubs of the wild boar man was even more intense, this cry was a little wrong, as if it was a battle, it was the cry of the wild boar man calling for his companions and entering the battle

"Hula-huh!huh!huh~~", on the entire dry plain, this voice was transmitted from the distant cliff of captivity, and when it reached the vicinity of Lidman not too far, sure enough, a call also scared the three of them. Judging from this voice, the guy in the grass on the opposite side should be a strong boar. Although in terms of size, the female boar man will be larger, but the combat power of the wheel, the movement speed and flexibility of the boar are much better than the sow, so if the three of them rushed out like this just now, maybe they would have fallen into a fierce battle by now

And the strong boar really didn't seem to find the three people hiding, so he actually came out of the grass and snorted at the two little ones who were still eating heartily, Liedman didn't know what they were talking about, but Hurley finally understood, so he gestured in sign language for Liedman to understand

"The master of the Land of Deadwood has set foot on our dry plains, and is now fighting the other boar people on the plains, and I want to rush over to see what is going on. You two little ones remember to go back to the boulder and join up with the rest of your brothers and sisters, don't be greedy, you won't starve to death!"

After reading his sister's sign language, Liedman suddenly understood, the slight tremor that gradually spread from the surface turned out to be the legendary big guy, but how could it come to the dry field? Just when Liedman wanted to quietly follow him to find out, an evil thought emerged from his mind and gradually took shape

And Hurley and Pascal, who seemed to know their brother's intentions, seemed to be eager to try, after all, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appeared in front of them, and the hope of tribal revival became within reach again~

.....

.....

.....

.....

.....

Lidman continued to wait silently, ignoring the events of the whole parched plain, and Hurley and Pascal were sent out to contact the other werewolves, so that these equally belligerent fellows would at least not easily rush to the source of the sound, and Lidman's mind was calm, and the plans in his head appeared one after another, and disappeared one after another, interlocking and leaking

Sure enough, soon, on the entire dry plain, the howling wolf howl gradually decreased, and was completely suppressed by the wild boar man's humming and chirping, this battle that has not yet been seen, the mountain werewolf has lost to the wild boar tribe that has always thought that he is the overlord in terms of momentum, if his plan is completely frustrated, maybe in the future it belongs to the hunting range of the mountain wolf tribe, and a large piece will be ceded to the wild boar tribe, just thinking of this, Liedman has a headache, what he is doing now is simply a big gamble, and if he loses, he will be worse than dead, so Lidman calms himself down as much as possible

Extending from the close to the cliff wall of captivity to the center of the entire Dry Plains, the entire Dry Plains has finally negotiated their respective spheres of influence after many battles between the two major tribes of mountain wolves and wild boars, and the huge wild boar tribes are really not easy to mess with, and the most part of the entire Dry Plains depression has been occupied, leaving the Gobi-like hunting ground to the slightly smaller mountain wolf tribes, and claiming that you can successfully hunt those guys of the chameleon tribe anyway, which is a cheap gift for you. But you must know that there is actually no fatter part of the dry plains than the land near the imprison cliffs, and the entire dry plains are surrounded by bottomless cliffs, so except for the ability to hunt on this plain, all the tribes have no way to survive, except for those chameleon tribes that seem to have hit ghosts, there is a kind of running close to the volcano, in order to no longer be used as a source of meat by the mountain wolf and wild boar tribes

Thinking of this, Liedman couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why did God embarrass such an excellent race and give them such harsh living conditions?

..... soon, however, Liedman was finally able to put down the big stone that was pressing on his heart

Sure enough, the two little cubs who had already left sneaked back and continued to nibble on the leftovers mixed with dirt and various juices, and Leadman's stomach, which had already been starved and unconscious, slowly squirmed again, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming eating~
