The Return of the King Volume Chapter 60 The Taste of Nature
Carlos ran forward desperately with Zhu Ping'an and his party without looking back, in order to be able to quickly get rid of Igor behind him, Carlos activated his ability, turned into a big white bear, threw Ping'an on his back, and said to Ping'an: "Sit tight!" As soon as the words fell, the big white bear rushed out. Behind them, Vincent was inspired to see Carlos' actions and transform into a golden lion, turning back to Blu-ray and Fluttershy behind him, "Sit down!"
"But what about you?" Fluttershy says worriedly.
"It's fine, it's just a skin wound, not a vital injury, and besides, I don't feel a trace of pain!" replied Vincent.
"Hurry up, there's no time!" Vincent urged.
Afraid that Fluttershy would hesitate any longer, Blu-ray grabs Fluttershy's hand and straddles the golden lion's back. Once the two of them were seated, Vincent relentless, unleashed the beast's primal power, and ran wildly in the direction of Carlos and Ping'an's escape.
They ran for a long time, and under the guidance of the great white bear, they came to a remote valley.
"Where are we going?" asked Ping An riding on the back of the big white bear.
"Everyone is tired, and if someone is still injured, if they continue to run, even if they don't get caught up by Igor, they will fall because of the worsening of the injury. So, let's find a place to avoid and take a break. Carlos said to Ping'an. Ping An listened to Carlos's words and looked at Vincent, who was closely following behind him, and could clearly see that his face was sweating profusely, and at the same time he was "purring" and panting heavily.
Calosto passed through the valley safely, and above their heads, only a thin line of sky was visible, and birds could be faintly seen passing by, chirping. Vincent felt his body getting weaker and weaker, but he still gritted his teeth and rushed forward with all his strength for the sake of the safety he was bent on protecting.
The eyes of Ping'an and the others suddenly lit up, and everyone walked out of the valley, stopped, and the scene that caught their eyes shocked everyone present. It turned out that on the other side of the valley, it turned out to be a different beautiful scene. I saw that this place is surrounded by mountains, and the stream that comes from nowhere flows slowly down from the top of the highest mountain like heavenly water, like the Milky Way tilting, dazzling. Surrounded by mountains is a flat green plain like a blanket, green grass, dense forests, in the singing of birds and flowers, among the new green flowers and red, there is a very simple and unique cabin, around the house, a few dogs and all kinds of wild animals are playing, playing. It is unbelievable that such a comfortable place to live in this world of war, famine and danger is a longed-for but unattainable luxury.
"Where is this?" Ping'an looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him in surprise.
"Welcome to my home!" Carlos said calmly.
"But before that, there is one thing to do!" Carlos said, getting up from the ground, changing from beast form to orc form, raising his broad palms, and slapping them against the stone wall of the valley they entered: "Xiong Tuweili!"
After a loud "boom", I saw two wide bear paw prints appear on the stone wall of the valley, deeply embedded in it. From the slap of both palms, two cracks appeared, which cracked all the way to the top of the valley with a crackling sound.
With a "bang", a small stone burst out from the top of the mountain, and fell to the bottom of the valley with a "pop", followed by a series of collapses and bursts from the top of the mountain, and the overwhelming gravel and rocks fell from the top of the mountain, and the top of the valley collapsed, and the falling stones completely sealed the entire valley.
"Is it completely blocked from coming?" said Vincent, who had transformed into a human form, standing up and looking at the scene in front of him.
"Don't worry, there's still a way out!" Carlos smiled at Vincent.
"Let's go and rest in the house in front!" Carlos led the group towards the house in the middle of the valley.
"Is this really your home?" asked Carlos.
"Yes, it took me a long time and a lot of effort to discover and renovate, and this is my favorite place!" Carlos smiled proudly.
The group was led by Carlos to the front of the cabin, and there was still a distance from the house, and the puppies ran up to him and pounced on Carlos excitedly, and Carlos was thrown to the ground by them, and let them lick their ears and cheeks with a look of joy.
"All right," Carlos said to the puppies, getting up and ordering them, "Guests, go get ready." ”
Carlos brought the group into the house, redressed the injured Vincent, and arranged for Vincent to rest. Peace, Blu-ray, and Fluttershy look around the room, where there are barely any electrical appliances in sight, just like the old farming days, with only two wooden beds and a wooden cabinet, and a basket in the corner with various homemade farming tools and tools.
"The house is newly built, and many places have not had time to be built, so it is a bit shabby, so everyone is aggrieved first, and rest here for a while, and then make plans when everyone recovers better. Carlos finished speaking, walked out of the house, and closed the door.
The injuries of the continuous battle, the tense nerves, and the exhaustion of the exhaustion made everyone tired, and soon they collapsed on their beds and fell asleep to the company of the smell of wood.
I don't know how long I slept, Ping'an woke up from thirst, he looked at his sleeping companions around him, couldn't bear to disturb them, and quietly walked out of the room. I saw that in the open space outside the house, two bonfires were erected, and there were two shelves on the bonfire, a large pot was placed on one shelf, something was boiling in the pot, and it smelled fruity, and on the other shelf was roasting a fat pheasant, and the fat of the pheasant turned into oil droplets, dripping into the bonfire below, and the burning "hissed" sound, and the strong aroma of chicken filled the air.
"Oh, are you awake?" said Carlos, turning back to see Ping An standing in the doorway of the house.
"Me, do you have any water?" asked Ping An, stumbling.
"Let's have some fruit porridge!" Carlos beckoned to Ping'an.
Ping An came over, and Carlos brought him a bowl of fruit porridge and handed it to him.
"What is this?" asked Ping An as he took the bowl and looked at the colorful things in the bowl.
"It's a porridge of all kinds of wild fruits, boiled together, this is a natural food, compared to those high-tech artificial foods, it has a different taste!" Carlos said to him with a smile.
Ping An tasted it: "It's a little sour, but the taste is very special, there is an indescribable fragrance!" It seems that Ping An likes to drink it very much.
"That's the taste of nature!" Carlos said, looking at everything around him, standing up and opening his arms happily.
"The taste of nature?" muttered Ping An as he looked at the porridge in the bowl.
"I still remember the last bowl of fruit porridge my father made for me. Carlos said, looking at the sky.
"My home is in Puma on the western continent, which used to be known as the last pure land in the west because there is a large area of land that has not been polluted or destroyed. The village where I live has always maintained a state of isolation, simple and pure folk customs, although there is no high technology, everyone lives very hard, but every day with their hard work, sweat, planting crops, fishing, hunting, receiving the gifts of nature to us, for those of us living in this era, it can really be called self-satisfaction. Carlos recalled.
"I remember one day, when I was very young, as if I was only 7 or 8 years old, my father took me to the forest to hunt as usual, and I saw a gray-white she-bear standing on the hunting clip. My father and I went closer and saw that it was her baby caught in a clip, and the mother bear was trying to help the bear get out of trouble, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't save the bear. When the father saw this, he did not shoot the mother bear, but walked over. The mother bear thought that the father was going to be bad for her child and slapped the father down, but the father got up again and walked towards the cub. In this way, my father was knocked down again and again by the mother bear, and stood up again and again, and even I could not bear to see the damage my father received. Finally, the mother bear was shocked by her father's actions and did not do anything more, so the father walked to the clamp, rescued the bear, and bandaged the bear. I still remember the tears in the mother's eyes and the happy expression on my father's scarred face as she left with her cub. My father said to me, 'We are children of nature, and bears are children of nature, so we and these animals are all family, and only in order to survive do we go to the basic hunting that does not destroy nature, and those animals and plants, if they can not be harmed, do not harm, because they are the rare companions of our human beings on this planet!'" Carlos said this, and saw that the porridge in the bowl of peace was almost finished, so he scooped another spoonful of fruit porridge with a wooden spoon and licked it into the bowl of peace.
Carlos continued: "Later, we found out that every time my father and I went hunting, we would have all kinds of fresh wild fruits and pheasants on the way home, but my father and I both knew who did it, because we had seen the mother and son bear so often. Still, tragedy struck, my father and I found the body of a mother bear during a hunt, so we took the bear cub home and raised it and named it Carlos. ”
"I grew up with little Carlos, so to speak, and in addition to that, we also have four puppies at home, and the five of them were my best friends when I was a kid and accompanied me until I was 20 years old. My father took me and my companions to hunt and my mother grew the crops at home. Until that day, our lives were ruined. Carlos said this, and the expression on his face began to change.
"The war between the World Coalition Government and the Four Demon Kings has finally extended to my hometown. My mother died under the fire of modern weapons, and my hometown was annihilated by the fire. My father fled with me and my animal companions, but was captured by the World Coalition Government, who ate our dogs and cut off Carlos's bear paws, who shot him to save him. When all thoughts were lost, Lord Liudao attacked with his own troops. During the battle, Carlos was wounded by the weapons of the World Coalition Government in order to save me, and I was also seriously wounded and dying. Later, Lord Rokudo wanted to reform those of us who were dying, and while I was still conscious, I begged him to save my father, and Lord Rokudo told me that my father was dead, so I begged him to save Carlos. When I woke up, Lord Rokudo told me that Carlos and I had been reborn. But it's to remake us together. I was transformed into an orc-type transformer by Lord Liudao, in the form of a bear. Carlos told him about his past experience, and Ping An was surprised.
"I know that as a beast, the World Coalition Government will not let me go, and Lord Liudao has told me that I can choose my own path. Actually, I knew very well that I had no choice at all. So, I sided with the Lord of the Six Paths and became one of the four orcs under him, conquering the world for him and attacking the city. Actually, I don't like fighting, I just want to live that natural life again, enjoy the gifts of nature with my favorite animals and plants, and guard my home. Carlos said this, looking at his surroundings. "If there was no war, how good it would be!"
"Then since you don't like fighting, why don't you find a place to live in seclusion and live the life you want?" asked Ping'an.
"There are some things that you can't do with wishful thinking, after all, I'm still a beast, even if I surrender, the world coalition government won't let me go. In order to survive, I can only choose the only path, which is to fight. To live, and for Carlos to live!" said Carlos as he walked to the river and looked at his own reflection in the river.
Just then, Blu-ray, Fluttershy, and Vincent emerge from the cabin.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Blu-ray said loudly, catching a glimpse of the roast chicken. He stepped forward and reached out to take it, opening his mouth to nibble on it, when Fluttershy grabbed it and glared at him, "Everyone's still not eaten!"
At this time, the puppies ran back from the forest with a few pheasants in their mouths.
"Everyone eats, the food here is plentiful, which is a gift from nature. Carlos took the pheasant from the dog's mouth and said to everyone with a smile.
"Hear me, eat whatever!" Blu-ray shouts to Fluttershy, ripping a grilled chicken leg from her hand and munching on it.
"You glutton!" Fluttershy scolds.
Ping An held the bowl, looked at the fruit porridge in the bowl, raised his nose and inhaled, a fragrance entered his heart, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "This is the taste of nature!"
