Chapter 1: Ugly
The mountain, which is the Black Mountain, is full of gravel, continuous Black Mountain.
The tree is a black tree, a dead tree with its branches raised and its gray leaves withered.
Black trees in Montenegro.
A large bird with bald blue feathers arranges its feathers with a large beak that shimmers metallicly like a barb. A dark shadow flashed on the ground of Mougins.
The big bird's sharp eyes shrank and opened, and a pair of wings more than eight feet long were like a blue lightning bolt shooting straight past.
Poof!
A staggered yellow and red liquid stained one of its steel claws.
Only then could a fat gray-haired mouse be seen twitching twice under its claws, and then remained motionless.
"Quack"
A smug chirp sounded from the mouth of the big bird, and as soon as the wings spread, a gust of wind blew through the grass and was about to rise to the sky. 'Poof'
A black light pierced through its soft belly like a white horse.
"Hit, hit. Uncle Liu, I want to make a feather crown out of its blue iron feathers, Liu Tong has been laughing at me with his red eagle feather crown, and the red eagle can only be used as food in front of the iron and blue vulture. A duck-like voice suddenly came out.
A tall figure in a gray beast robe jumped out from behind a cliff rock, and said excitedly as he waved his hands.
"Haha, I'm afraid you've forgotten, the feather crown is the glory of a warrior, only the prey you hunt with your own hands can wear it on your head, this iron and blue vulture is the prey of a bone, you use it as a feather crown and return to the village for fear that you will be laughed off your pants." ”
A big man wearing the same beast clothes, ** the huge copper axe in his hand laughed.
"But the red eagle that Fang Tong killed is obviously his father's prey, and a red eagle with broken wings and bones can be solved by my brother, Uncle Liu, you just shot his wings. ”
"I don't have that ability, the Iron Blue Eagle is not called 'lightning on the Black Mountain' for nothing, only by seizing the moment of his successful predation and relaxing, there is a glimmer of chance of success. I'm going to shoot its wings, and I'll wait until I break through to the Bloody Six Heavens. ”
Liu Gu slowly closed the huge bone arch in his hand and put it behind him, and said in a loud voice.
At this time, a sturdy man with a height of more than two meters picked up the iron blue eagle back: "The little Atong has succeeded in enlightening the underworld, and in a few days he will go to the Winter Wolf Department to study, which is no longer comparable to us reckless men." When you see you in the future, you will be called 'Lord Mortal'. ”
There was a palpable hint of envy in his voice.
"It's been six days since it came out this time, and another hourglass is about to change color, so let's go back to the cave. ”
Willow Gu looked up at the dark purple sun in the sky, and took out a silver hourglass from his bosom and looked at it.
They put their weapons on their backs, and carried out a simple, rough and sturdy wooden frame made of black wood, on which a black-maned boar weighing thousands of pounds was placed on the wooden frame, and hurried down the mountain path.
The mountain path is steep and abnormal, and there are more rocks and broken branches on it, which is difficult to walk and abnormal, but this pedestrian has stepped into a leap, especially the willow bone of the mountain boar in front and the willow stone carrying the big axe is even more vigorous walking, occasionally encountering the rocks blocking the road, stretching out and stepping out to make it into powder, a pair of thick and powerful thighs is two or three meters away from a gentle step.
Slowly, a 'short' figure fell last. He had to use all his strength to start running to fall right behind the group.
"Brother Ugly, you haven't built a foundation yet, or I'll carry you. ?”
A male duck's voice rang in his ears.
Whew!
He sucked a breath of air into his lungs, his pale face flushed from the exertion, and shook his head firmly.
Suddenly, he felt a lightness on his back.
"Give me back"
A voice that had become a little hoarse from his breath came out of his mouth.
"Haha, I won't give it unless you can catch me. The duck's voice faded away.
Without hundreds of pounds of weight on his back, his body finally felt lighter, and he could barely hang at the end without being abandoned by the team.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened. With every breath he took was a burning pain in his lungs, and he had already lost sensation in his feet, the team finally slowed down.
A long, narrow, deep stone crevice appeared in the mountain wall ahead, and they flashed into it as soon as they turned around.
A smell of suffocation came out, and the further the stone crack went, the more space there was for walking inside, and a bright light faintly flickered out.
After a turn, a huge cave appears in front of you, and a bonfire burns inside the cave. In the shadow of the cave, seven or eight huge beast carcasses could be seen lying horizontally.
"Brother Agu has gained a lot today, this boar may have the strength to enter the product. ”
A bronze-skinned man with a bare left arm wrapped around a sackcloth wrapped around it stood up from the fire and greeted him.
"Haha, I'm not afraid it's already in the product, this thing has awakened the rock skin secret technique. It took us half an hourglass of time and when it ran out of yuan, Ah Gu used the Jade Shattering Secret Technique to kill this guy. ”
After a long day of hunting, everyone was exhausted, and sat down around the fire to enjoy this rare rest.
But a 'thin' figure began to get busy, and he took out a large black iron pot from the corner of the cave and set it on the campfire.
After pouring in half a pot of water, he took out a sharp bronze short knife from his waist and walked in front of the corpses of the beasts.
Finally, he squatted in front of a three or four hundred pound gray rock sheep, touched it with his hand, and inserted the copper knife into it with a slight force.
Then skillfully peel, debon, and separate the internal organs. Between the hands and knives, the pieces of fat and thin meat the size of a palm were covered with sheepskin.
He poured all these fatty pieces of meat, along with the bones and some edible offal, into the pot, then took out some red beans, thumb-sized roots, orange-red leaves, etc. from the back basket and sprinkled them into the pot, and finally carefully took out a cloth ball from his bosom and opened it, pinched out a few pinches of pale cyan powder and sprinkled it inside.
When he had done this, he did not rest, but took out two gray-green broad-leaved plants from the basket again, put them in a stone bowl, and pounded them vigorously with the handle of his knife.
When all the things in the bowl turned into grass and mud, secreting some blue-red viscous liquid, he took out a gray and somewhat transparent stone and began to grind, put the stone powder in the bowl and turned it into a pile of black things, and walked in front of the big man with bare arms.
Gently untied the linen cloth on his arm, only to see a black wound on the big man's muscular arm half a foot exposed,
"Fortunately, there is a ugly child, otherwise my arm would have been ruined. ”
"It's been almost a year since Ugly came to our Dead Leaf Village, but it's a pity that ......," said a round-faced, black-haired man beside the fire who was grinding arrows with wind stones.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Gu, who was drinking water from a stone bowl, interrupted his words in a loud voice: "Who has succeeded in enlightening the underworld that we have done here?" In the past ten years, there have only been two underworld sacrificial physims in the village. ”
The round-faced man smiled wryly: "I'm talking about 'Hell'." ”
Hearing his words, Ah Chou's hand that was applying the ointment paused, and everyone fell silent.
Just when the air was embarrassed, a duck-like voice lit up.
"It's so fragrant, Brother Ugly's skills are good, not only can he make clothes with medicinal stones, but he also has such good cooking skills. ”
Liu Apu jumped out and stirred twice in the pot with a large spoon, and a rich smell of meat came out.
I saw a large layer of red fat floating on top of the pot, and the milky white rich and tumbling broth was filled with slices of thin and thick meat that were undulating.
"Haha, eat quickly, you have to practice eating meat first, isn't it just for this big meal at night that you work so hard every day. ”
Everyone took out the dishes and chopsticks and poured out the meat and soup in a hurry.
For a moment there was only the sound of 'purring' swallowing.
The three-meter-sized iron pot and the watermelon-sized stone bowl made the broth very delicious, and after eating three bowls, Ah Chou felt that his stomach was full.
But less than a quarter of the remaining three or four hundred catties of broth were eaten by everyone, with an average of at least a dozen bowls per person, and seventy or eighty catties of broth were eaten by everyone.
When Ugly saw this scene, he was not surprised at all, but silently began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Come, Brother Ugly, I'll help you" Seeing him pick up the iron pot with some effort and walk out of the cave, Liu Apu ran over and grabbed a pot ear with one hand and said.
He didn't refuse this time, nodded silently and walked out.
Even at night, it was bright outside the Black Mountain, and the dark purple sun still hung high in the sky, but its luster was indeed dozens of times dimmer, and the dark sun was surrounded by stars and a somewhat dim moon.
The two of them carried the iron pot for a while, and then came to a small stream.
They took out the stone bowl from the pot and started cleaning.
"Brother Ugly. ”
"Huh?"
Ah Xue stopped talking, and finally said: "Don't take Uncle Mu's words to heart, isn't it that not a single pillar of dark light is lit, anyway, the dark light can't become a sacrifice if it doesn't go to six squares." Ninety percent of the people in the Winter Wolf Department are refined, you ......"
He suddenly had an embarrassed face, and he didn't know how to say it, so he carefully organized his words and said slowly: "Brother Ugly, although your qualifications for refining your body are also poor, as long as you work hard, you will definitely become a warrior like the village chief." ”
He looked up and looked carefully at Ah Pu opposite him with a pair of bright eyes.
The sturdy body of nearly two meters has a pair of thick and powerful limbs, a pair of clear gray eyes on the bronzed face, and a little sparse and subtle fuzz growing under the thick lips makes his face look a little childish.
It's hard to believe that this is a teenager under the age of fourteen.
"Yes, I see. He opened his mouth and said softly, thought for a while, and said, "Thank you, Ah Pu."
He took out the last stone bowl from the pot and put it in the water, the rippling splash faintly shone on his pale cheeks, and the large piece of earthy yellow birthmark-like skin on a pair of sword eyebrows looked extremely ugly.
Ah Chou raised his hand on his chest for a moment, and a slightly convex texture spread to the palm of his hand.
