We spent the whole morning in the woods, resting at noon by an old tree that seemed to have been split in half by a thunderbolt, eating some sun-dried slices of meat, and continuing our journey eastward. The www.biquge.info more you go forward, the more you go forward, the more the terrain begins to become undulating, the woods are not as dense as in front, more sunlight is cast from between the branches and leaves, and there are fewer thorns on the ground, and there are more black, black, yellow and yellow rocks on the ground.

After a long walk and a downhill slope, we came to a wide river, and we heard Ramru, who was walking in front, raise his arms and shout, and the team stopped at once. Ato, who was beside me, looked ahead and said to me, "Here we are, this is the home of the black bear." ”

I didn't expect that the hunting place that Atto said would have to go so far, I muttered to myself, and I couldn't help but look forward with a little curiosity. This area is a series of mountains, and the river flows from the mountains to the north, meandering to the southern mountain gaps, and the sound of the flowing water is resounding and crisp. From our feet to the foot of the opposite mountain, it was only about 40 zhang wide. Looking at the past from here, but you can see the peaks and peaks on the opposite bank, the weather is thousands, there are thin clouds on it, the birds chase each other, there are a hundred flowers competing for beauty, colorful butterflies fluttering, a piece of red, red, green and green everywhere, just like a picture scroll.

I saw it a little like a dream, across the river, the scenery on both sides of the river could be so different. If the woods behind us are eclipsed primitive and ancient, then the mountains in front of us are colorful bursting out of antiquity, and they are simply two completely different places.

I don't know what this place is, but as I watched, Ramru and Ato, a group of them, suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed down towards the mountains on the other side of the river. I was a little dazed and didn't know what they were going to do, and when they got up, I approached Atto and whispered, "Ato, what are you doing?

Ato: "The black bear is protected by the gods, and we must get the consent of the gods to kill them, otherwise we will not be able to kill the black bear." After bowing down, the gods agreed, the black bears can be killed, and after eating their meat, we will have divine power. ”

When she said this, her eyes flashed with strange colors, and her face could not hide her excitement.

I don't know what's going on, Atto also mentioned to me earlier that eating bear meat grows divine power and something like that, I didn't feel anything when I heard it, but at this moment, her words fell into my ears, but it made me shiver coldly, and my mind couldn't help but think of the huge giant snake in the dragon cave. Even though it was broad daylight, I had already moved away from the Divine Dragon Cave, but the cold eyes of the giant snake in the spiritual cave seemed to be imprinted in my brain all at once, staring straight at me, no matter how lingering, I was like falling into an ice cave, and I only felt a cool breath from head to toe.

The sensation came so quickly that I couldn't help but shudder, and I murmured, "I don't believe in gods, Ato, do you really believe in the existence of gods?"

I regretted saying this. It was a bit abrupt to say it, at least to ask such a question in front of Ato, it would be a great disrespect, their belief in the gods is already deep-rooted, and my question is undoubtedly a question of their entire tribe, which is to say that any of them will be deeply displeased if they listen to it.

But I really wanted to find someone to understand, and I wanted to hear a word that denied the existence of the gods, and probably because of this, the words that came out of my mouth like a ghost made a god come out, and even had a bit of a taste of talking to myself.

Sure enough, Ato's brows furrowed inadvertently, but she smiled on her face: "Of course there is." You see that there are so many strong people in our tribe, and they are all blessed by the gods. ”

I tried not to let myself think about the giant snake and the gods anymore, and there was no need for me to entangle this issue with Ato, so I just snorted and said, "Then we will definitely be able to fight a few more black bears this time." ”

Atto smiled on his face this time, and said: "The black bear can't fight more, otherwise the gods will be angry, just hit one, eat the meat, your injury will heal quickly." ”

Now I still can't raise much strength in my body, although I have walked all morning, I have some sweat on my body, and the whole person feels a lot lighter, but the sense of decadence in the body caused by the damage of internal force has not diminished, not just by stretching the body and eating more food can be recovered, it takes time to breathe and recuperate. Just, my right arm......

I mentioned it, but I still felt the weight of my right arm, and I am afraid that even if my internal strength heals, it will be difficult to restore my right arm to its original state. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh, I didn't expect that I would end up like this on this trip to the Western Regions, if I really want to find out the bottom line, even I can't figure it out myself, I just don't dare to look at my right arm, Cheng Fuhai and they will definitely be surprised when they see it.

At this time, Ramru in front waved his hand behind him, and walked towards the river first, and the group of men behind him hurriedly followed. I shook off all the thoughts that came to my mind, and without further ado, I stepped into the river with Hogg.

As soon as I stepped into the river, I felt a sense of coolness under my feet. The terrain in the river is not very turbulent, the water flow is not very fast, and it is crystal clear. The sky is bright, and the soft light is reflected in the slowly rushing river, and the waves are sparkling. Through the current, you can see that there are many colored aragonite stones and stones that have been polished by the current, and it is smooth and comfortable for your feet to step on.

It's a great place to live, and it's easy for black bears to live here. The river looked spacious, but not deep at all, and when we reached the middle of the river, the current was only submerged to the calf. In the water, from time to time, you can see yellow croakers with a body length of nearly a foot, and they swim south along the current, swimming very fast. I hadn't bathed in a while, and I stinked on my body, and if I hadn't walked with Ato, I would have taken off my animal skin and bathed here.

In a few moments, a group of us walked to the opposite shore, and on the shore, Ramru and Atto and Hogg briefly explained a few words, and then led the men along the shore towards the foot of the hill to the north. Looking at the direction in which Ramru and they left, I shook the muddy water on my feet while pulling out the shadow chasing sword from my waist and said, "Ato, what are they going to do?"

Atto looked at the shadow chasing sword in my left hand and said, "They went to dig a trap and will come back soon, we will collect medicine here." There are no black bears in this mountain, you should not be afraid. ”

I couldn't help but laugh. Although the injury has not healed, I have no reason to be afraid, but after all, there are black bears here, and it is always good to be careful. Perhaps, because I'm carrying a sword like this, and my body looks weak now, that's why Ato's thinking I'm scared, right?

"It's this mountain, there's no medicine below, there's one above, let's go. ”

Although the trees in this mountain forest are towering, the trunks are not thick, about half the thickness of a person's body, and they are like guns stuck in the mountains, but the branches and leaves scattered on the top are unusually luxuriant, and the whole thing looks like an open umbrella propped up on the branches. The leaves on the trees were like the webbed feet of ducks, and they were all over the mountain, but they were not the same color, the branches and leaves at the foot of the mountain were pure green, but when we reached the halfway point of the mountain, the leaves here were bright yellow. And further up, there is another view, and the branches and leaves are red.

It wouldn't be uncommon for the leaves of the same tree to grow three different colors in different seasons, but now they're on the same mountain. As Atto and Hogg stood under two trees with yellow leaves, I couldn't help but ask, "What kind of tree is the strange tree here?"

Atto took out a delicate little animal skin bag from his bosom, took out two kneaded rattan ropes, handed one to Hogg, and said with a smile: "We call it the Coo Tree, you see." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the tree, and said, "That's the Gugu fruit, we have it in our medicine, your injury doesn't hurt, and you can rely on it, hehe." ”

I followed her finger and saw a small yellow fruit bearing under the yellow leaves of the branches in front of them, a little bigger than a sesame seed. The leaves on the tree are already yellow, and if you don't look closely, it's really hard to find the existence of fruit under the leaves.

Ato, who ignored me, tied the rattan rope to his feet, and kicked his feet, but his thin body suddenly climbed to the tree, and then used his hands and feet together, and began to climb the tree upwards. She was over half a hundred years old, but she was quite skilled and slick in climbing the tree, and in a few breaths, she had climbed to the middle of the tree, and Hogg on the other side was faster than her, and she was almost at the top of the tree.

I watched under the tree, the two of them bowed down and climbed the tree like apes, and they climbed very quickly, if you only look at the back, they really look like a vigorous teenager.

That's also because they were born and raised here, right? They have been hunting for a living, and they have been with wild monsters in the mountains and forests for a long time, and they don't have good skills, let alone hunting, I'm afraid they have already been eaten by wild monsters. In the final analysis, this is also forced by living conditions, if you can enjoy your old age in peace, which old man is willing to learn to climb trees?

The branches and leaves of the trees were spread out, but many of them grew on thicker branches, and Ator and Hogg did not have to climb to the weak parts of the branches to pick the yellow fruits, which they also put into the small animal skin bags around their waists. Gradually, the small animal skin pouches around their waists were half full, and they were already a little bulging.

I was bored watching under the tree, so I simply sat down against the trunk of the tree, looking at the windswept branches and leaves above my head, and thinking about leaving.

But not long after I sat down, in the distance, there was a faint cry from the bottom of the mountain. The cry was a little hurried, like Ramru's voice. I was taken aback, and I wanted to stand up quickly, but this time I got up in a hurry, and my already weak legs didn't exert my strength, and my body leaned back on the trunk behind me.

But in the blink of an eye, the voice under the mountain sounded again. This time I heard it very clearly, it was indeed Ramru's shout, and this shout was even more urgent, but I didn't know what he meant.

For some reason, Atto and Hogg on the tree slid down the tree rapidly, and the two of them looked panicked, and when they slid down the tree, they kept turning their heads to look down the mountain, as if they were very uneasy. I couldn't help but be worried, and when the two of them fell to the ground, I said, "Ato, what's going on?"

Ato's eyes were full of horror, but he ignored my words, and said intermittently: "Hurry up...... Fast...... Run!" she didn't wait for me to speak, but pulled me and ran down the hill.

I was pulled by her and almost didn't stand firm, my body was already very weak, and it was good to be able to walk, but I still couldn't do it, and at this time we were still running down the mountain. After only a few steps of running by her, I had already weakened my legs twice and almost fell to the ground.

I was about to say something more, when Hogg put my right arm on his shoulder, and Ato ran down the hill with him left and right.
