Chapter 46: Mammoth
"You shameless guy, heartless and lungless, the old body asked you to help because it looks up to you, you don't know what to do, look at your appearance, thin arms and legs, similar to a bubble of shit pulled by a chinpmunk, leave the old body here, you are not even a fart......"
At the same time that Wang Lung left Aunt Qi's house, Aunt Qi's broken mouth kept cursing behind him, and the hated Wang Lung turned white with his hands, and really wanted to turn around and stab the old demon woman to death, fortunately Wang Lung was quite calm, only when the other party was farting, but as he went farther and farther, Aunt Qi's voice became higher, and the foul language was even more unbearable.
They were all raised by their parents, and no one wanted to be wantonly bullied by others, Wang Lung felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and his pace of wanting to speed up suddenly stopped, and he turned around and glared at Aunt Qi fiercely.
Seeing this, Aunt Qi thought that Wang Lung had changed her mind, and said with a smile on the corner ......of her mouth: "Stinky boy, why do you regret it, it's up to you."
"Shut up!" Before Aunt Qi finished speaking, Wang Lung shouted angrily and continued: "Old witch, accumulate some virtue in your mouth, be careful that one day your mouth is sewn up, even if Lao Tzu dies outside, he will not regret it." ”
After Wang Lung finished speaking, ignoring the stunned Aunt Qi, he pulled his legs and ran towards the exit of the tribe, and when he turned a street, Aunt Qi reacted, and the angry scolding faintly came from a distance, Wang Lung sneered and ignored it.
After running for more than ten minutes, Wang Lung finally walked near the gate of the tribe, and when he just walked out of the gate, a majestic figure blocked the way, and when he looked up, Wang Lung couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Wang Lung, it's so late, where are you going, aren't you helping out at Aunt Qi's house?"
Wang Lung shook his head and said, "Aunt Qi's mouth is too broken, I can't stand it, I don't do it, I want to try my luck near the Great Rift Valley." ”
"Quit?" Gula looked at Wang Lung in disbelief and saw the other party nod. Gula also smiled bitterly and said: "I thought you would hold on for a few more days, but I didn't expect it to be like this for a while, alas, Aunt Qi is not bad, but that mouth is not forgiving, just forget it." But what are you doing now, it is very dangerous for you to go to the Great Rift Valley alone. ”
Wang Lung nodded and said: "I know the way, but there is no suitable job for me in the tribe, I can only go to the Great Rift Valley to try my luck, it is night, here is more than 800 kilometers away from the Great Rift Valley, I think the night giant beast does not like to come out to activities, if you are lucky, you may be able to reach the Great Rift Valley before dawn the next day." ”
Gula nodded solemnly and said, "Yes." There is some truth to what you say, but I advise you to wait a few days before you go hunting with us. ”
"Hunting?" Wang Lung shook his head and continued: "You hunting is near here, definitely not going to the Great Rift Valley, instead of setting off with you, I might as well go by myself, my goal is small, maybe I can avoid some dangers." ”
Gula nodded and said, "Not bad." In that case, then I won't stop you. But be careful yourself, don't look at the night, there are a lot of giant beasts in the wild, if it really doesn't work, you go back the same way, and we'll think of other ways. ”
Wang Lung smiled and nodded, "Thank you." I'll take note and take my leave. ”
Bowing down and saying goodbye to Gula, Wang Lung walked towards the field, but he didn't go far, and Gula stopped Wang Lung with a shout.
Wang Lung looked back at Gula in a daze. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Gula scratched her head embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, I almost forgot, you can't leave now, you have been to our tribe, and you have helped Aunt Qi work, I want to find Aunt Qi to implement the situation, you can only leave if you have nothing to do." ”
Wang Long's mouth cracked, and he said with a wry smile: "No, go to Aunt Qi to implement, when I left, Aunt Qi kept scolding me behind my back, you went to her to implement, then I still left?"
Gulaha smiled and said: "Don't worry, what kind of person Aunt Qi is, I know very well, I won't just listen to Aunt Qi's words, you wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”
After Gula finished speaking, he stopped chatting with Wang Lung, turned around and shouted to the side, and then walked towards the tribe.
Looking at Gula in the distance, Wang Lung shook his head helplessly, he was afraid that it would take about half an hour to go back and forth, so in order not to embarrass Gulla, he could only squat aside and wait.
As expected, after about half an hour, the sound of Gula's footsteps came to his ears, and when Gula approached, Wang Lung hurriedly asked, "How is it? Can I leave?"
Gula nodded and said, "Well, you can leave, but Aunt Qi doesn't say anything bad about you, I know that those are Aunt Qi's angry words, don't take it to heart, be careful all the way." ”
Wang Lung nodded gratefully, bowed down again, waved goodbye to Gula, and finally left this tribe that made him helpless, and when Wang Lung walked away, Gula suddenly had one more person beside him, looked at the direction where Wang Lung was far away and said: "This little guy is tough enough, he dares to enter the Great Rift Valley alone, and he is not afraid to take his life." ”
"I'm sure he won't die, it's just a small ordeal for him. Gula said lightly.
"Oh, so confident, if we make a bet, I'll bet that kid will die. ”
Gula glanced at the other party and said: "Go aside, even if I bet with you, who can witness winning or losing, don't we two be the gatekeeper and follow Wang Lung to see what his fate is?"
"Well, that's right, haluha, forget it, let that kid fend for himself. ”
At this time, Wang Lung had already walked away, naturally he could not hear the conversation between the two of them, if Wang Lung heard it, he would definitely scoff at it, he was willing to take the risk to go to the Great Rift Valley to collect the buds of the earth, not hot-headed, but with his own calculations.
Although the star of Gleth is not big, there are two extremes, one is the Great Rift Valley, which is full of dangers, and those who enter it are dead, and the other is that giants and giant beasts are rampant, the giants are okay, they belong to the human race, and they are not hostile to foreign cultivators, but the giant beasts are different, not to mention foreign cultivators, even if they are local giants, they dare to slaughter.
All this seems dangerous, in fact, Wang Lung does not think so, in terms of his size, on the planet Gles, he is like an ant, a giant can slap him to death, and a giant beast can sneeze him on the head.
In normal times, when people walk, who cares about the ants walking on the ground, the Buddhists tell that "sweeping the floor is afraid of hurting the lives of ants." 'Cherish the moth gauze lamp' is, and even Buddhists can't walk with their heads down to see if there are any ants under their feet.
Wang Lung is not an ant, he is an intelligent human, and if he encounters a giant beast, he can completely avoid it. Unlike ants without intelligence, human feet immediately step on themselves and are still whirling in place.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Wang Lung dares to go on the road alone, all the way, leaving the giant tribe for at least a hundred kilometers or so, Wang Lung is not moving in a straight line, whenever he sees a giant beast from a distance, he will take a detour to bypass. So now he has not encountered any danger, at most he has been a little frightened.
The overall route of travel is straight, even if he bypasses the giant beast, when it is safe to do so, Wang Lung will return to the original route, walking a distance of 100 kilometers, which consumes Wang Lung nearly two hours, and it was expected to arrive near the Great Rift Valley before dawn. I'm afraid that the estimate is wrong.
Now that he had left the Giant Tribe, Wang Lung had no intention of turning back. Aunt Qi's cursing was still lingering in his ears, which made Wang Lung have lingering palpitations about that tribe, even if Gula and the others were polite to him, but Wang Lung had no intention of going back, if it was really like Gula said, it couldn't be done. He can go to other tribes.
Although there are not many giant tribes on the planet of Grise, there are also hundreds, scattered all over the planet, and Wang Lung had seen the surrounding terrain before setting foot on the planet. There were five giant tribes within a radius of 300 kilometers, and on Wang Lung's route to the Great Rift Valley, another 100 kilometers ahead, there was a larger tribe on each side.
If there are too many dangers on the road, Wang Lung can go to one of the tribes to adjust first, and if he can find a suitable job in the other tribes, he does not need to venture to the Great Rift Valley, even if there is no suitable job, it doesn't matter, he can go forward at night and hide in the tribe during the day to rest.
If you can't find Voltachia for two days, this time Wang Lung left himself plenty of time, Gleth Star is very close to the earth, except for the time to refine spirit grass and alchemy, he has half a year to squander on Gleth Star.
Wang Lung didn't believe that he couldn't find enough Bu Di after spending half a year, if that was the case, he had nothing to say, he could only blame the heavens for being unfair, Zhong Hui was too perverted.
The sky is getting darker and darker, there are all kinds of terrain on the planet Gleus, and now Wang Lung is walking in a sparse mountain forest, the ancient trees are 100 meters high, and the hills are slow and dangerous, even the weeds around him are twice as high as Wang Lung, nearly a zhang high, Wang Lung walks through the weeds.
The weeds are dense, so that Wang Lung is safer to hide in it, which makes it more convenient for Wang Lung to move forward, but there is only one disadvantage, that is, the line of sight is insufficient, overgrown with weeds, Wang Lung wants to see things in front of him, he must jump up to see clearly.
Every 100 meters, Wang Lung will jump up slightly, a few feet above the weeds, to see if there is a giant beast left and right in front of him, if not, he can continue to move forward, if so, he must see the reaction of the giant beast before making a plan.
It was already three hundred miles away from the tribe where Gula was, and there were two giant tribes one hundred miles to the left or right, and now that four hours had passed, and there was still some time before dawn, if he continued to advance, the risk was uncertain, so Wang Lung decided to go to one of the tribes to find out the situation first.
After making up his mind, Wang Lung listened carefully for a while, saw that there was no sound around, nodded slightly, kicked lightly under his feet, and his body rose into the air, and when he was a little tall and weedy in front of him, Wang Lung first looked into the distance, and saw that the front was still the same, and his heart was a little relieved, but he did not stop and continued to look at both sides.
There's nothing going on on the right, everything is fine, and the left is ...... , Wang Lung thought that there was no danger on the left, but as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw a huge figure come into view, which only frightened Wang Lung with a thrill all over his body, and a cold air rushed from the tailbone to the top of his head.
At a distance of only about ten zhang from him, there was a behemoth standing there quietly, a bit like an elephant on the earth in appearance, but Wang Lung knew that it was not at all, if it was an elephant on the earth, Wang Lung would definitely not be so nervous, it was an earth dweller who was several times more ferocious than tigers and leopards, and there was a special name on the earth: mammoth.
Mammoths have disappeared from the earth for more than 3,000 years, and the mammoths on the earth are definitely vegetarians, but in the Gleth star or the real sense of the mammoth, it has nothing to do with vegetarianism, they are carnivores, and they are not happy without meat, and they have a very sensitive reaction to the smell of blood, even if there is blood in a hundred miles away, the dwellers can smell it, if they are allowed to smell the blood, the dwellers will not stop without eating a bite of fresh meat, even if they escape into the tribe, a dweller dares to enter the giant tribe alone.
Sneaking a glance, Wang Lung was frightened, and when he landed, his feet were a lot lighter, even so, he still made a little sound, if it was daytime, it might not attract the attention of the mammoth, but this was at night, all the sounds were silent, a peaceful image, even if he yawned, his sound could be amplified countless times.
After landing, Wang Lung didn't dare to breathe more, there was a dull sound of dong dong in his ears, it was the sound of a mammoth walking, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Wang Lung didn't know what to do, if he wanted to escape, the distance was too close, he had no speed advantage at all, and it was not a good sign to be exposed too early, so he had to hide quickly.
This makes Wang Lung have a headache, don't look at the weeds around him, but the mammoth's nose is very sensitive, it is a person is grass It can smell it as soon as it smells, and it is feasible to hide it underground, but it is too late.
Fortunately, the mammoth walked very slowly, so that Wang Lung had time to think for a while, even so, the distance of ten zhang was only seven or eight steps, and for the mammoth that was ten zhang high and more than fifty meters long, it would soon be able to arrive.
Wang Lung looked around anxiously, hoping to find a suitable place to hide, suddenly, a slightly wide blade of grass came into view, Wang Lung was happy on his face, took a quick step, reached out and grabbed the blade of grass, grabbed both sides of the blade of grass with both hands, and tightened his legs at the same time, hiding his whole body in the blade of grass.
As for whether he could escape this catastrophe, Wang Lung didn't have much confidence, so he could only resign himself to fate. (To be continued......)
