The other side of the banyan grove.

According to convention, the apes are divided into three classes, which in turn divide and eat around their prey.

Thinking of the flame messengers who were guarded and left behind, Ah Yan also deliberately left behind half a tapir beast, after all, they are all the backbone of the clan. It is not possible for the useless old, weak, sick and disabled to be fed, but to let them starve.

Ah Yan's mood has been very complicated until now, although on the surface he is methodically distributing food to the eating apes, but deep down, an emotion that he has never felt is quietly taking root and fermenting, that emotion contains fear, resentment, admiration and other simple emotions, fused together.

For the guardian beast who had just arrived in the tribe for less than three days, he always felt that in addition to stability, the other party might also bring disaster.

......

"You mean, the big silver-haired baboon retreated at the end?"

Next to the fire, Li Hang, who had beaten a stick and given a sweet date, lay on the mammoth and chatted with the flame messengers kindly.

Perhaps because he was once human, he liked to eat and chat around the campfire in this environment.

"Well, those baboons robbed our black monkeys and tried to kill us, but when they saw the smoking fire, they all ran away. ”

nodded, this kind of encounter was still expected by Li Hang, but it came faster than expected.

He knew that after the death of the previous generation of guardian lion kings, the lords of the surrounding territories would definitely not be as good as before, and yesterday's few raids were an obvious signal.

In addition to the dog and bear brothers, yesterday's moa and the big baboon should have been temptations, but fortunately the flames were armed in time today, otherwise, the consequences would be really unpredictable.

"By the way, when we went to collect blue fruits today, several people heard the moa calls, but they didn't see them. ”

"Oh, have the moa birds been here too?" Slightly stunned, Li Hang pondered for a while, and secretly thought, "If they don't show up, could it be that the strange beasts in their group haven't come?"

The apes are all big meals, and the two pieces of barbecue meat are quickly eaten, and when they saw the guardian put down the shelf and chatted with them, they talked about some of the encounters they encountered when they went out.

Li Hang listened quietly, interjecting from time to time to ask for specific details, and there was a lively atmosphere around the bonfire.

As the apes on the other side returned one after another, the campfire became more and more lively, and the focus of the conversation shifted from what they had seen and heard outside to Shiqiu.

"What does it taste like when you bite into a piece of meat that has been roasted by fire? sour or sweet, hard or soft?" saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and several apes were obviously full, but they could smell the aroma of meat, but they still couldn't help but gather around Shiqiu and watch him barbecue.

Seeing that Shiqiu didn't speak, a man swallowed his saliva, pretended to be angry, and pulled his companion to make a bet.

"I bet this meat must be bad, what? Don't you believe it? Stone ball, give me a piece and I'll prove it to him. ”

He was shy, and as soon as he got to the side of the stone ball, he was picked up by the rainbow who came back from collecting firewood, "Don't even think about it, this is the meat that the guardian rewarded us, do you dare to move it and try it?"

Li Hang looked amused for a while, the reason why he didn't force the apes to eat cooked food was that he didn't think it was necessary, although some apes might only be used to the taste of raw meat, but he believed that over time, cooked food would definitely replace Ru Mao and drink blood.

Besides, even if the stomach and intestines that are accustomed to raw meat have to change, it will take a process, so it is better to let them slowly adapt to it.

Raising his head and looking, the sky outside the canopy of the banyan tree had begun to darken, and "Root" trotted a few steps, stopped five or six meters away from the mammoth, and asked tentatively, "Guardian, the time for prayer is coming, you see?"

"Hmm, do you want to pray?" Li Hang glanced around, feeling that the apes were almost gathered, "Then let's get ready to start." ”

With that, he jumped off the top of the mammoth's head, and slowly walked to the altar platform and squatted down.

Meow!!

The cry was not loud, but it reached the ears of every ape, and the apes immediately shut up when they heard it, and set their eyes on Li Hang.

"Jianmiao takes care of the fire, and everyone is left, ready to pray. Seeing that the apes were in their positions, Li Hang squatted down, "'Gen', you come to preside, let's start." ”

Still bowing slightly to the leader, "Gen" didn't care about Ah Yan's attitude, took the lead in kneeling, and began to chant the prayer loudly.

"Kneel down and thank my clan for the beast, you are the dome of my clan, your existence, and my clan will no longer be disturbed by disasters and birds, I am willing to take refuge in your shadow and praise you forever......"

As the sound of neat praise sounded, a layer of invisible faith once again surrounded Li Hang's body, getting thicker and thicker.

"Look at that mammoth!" Before sinking into the cultivation state, Li Hang let out a roll and ordered, after all, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, no matter how obedient it is, it can't joke about its own safety.

There was no response, and the roll turned into nothingness, quietly lurking in the darkness, always paying attention to the every move of the mammoth leaning under the tree.

Faith absorbs and filters colored points of light, gradually transforming them into demonic energy.

After an hour of prayer time, whether it is "looking at the moon and leading thunder" or "tiger change" has made a lot of progress.

With yesterday's lesson, the "root" did not dare to prolong the prayer without authorization, and when the time came, he stopped the prayer of praise and continued to recite it silently in his heart.

Opening his eyes, Li Hang took a deep breath, feeling that he was in a good state, he stood up and walked to the edge of the earthen platform.

"When the prayers are over, they can all rest, and the flame envoys take turns to watch over the fire during the night. ”

Seeing that after the apes dispersed after praying, there were some people gathered around the stone ball, Li Hang ignored them, jumped straight on top of the mammoth's head, and found a comfortable place to squat down.

"Do you see it all? This is the race and the flame that you will protect in the future, do you have any questions?" I know from Rolling that the mammoth behaved well in the prayer just now, and there is no intention of taking the opportunity to resist.

"No problem, I'll protect them and the fire. The urn replied, and the mammoth continued, "Rest assured, Lord, I've left it all to me." ”

"That's good, you can rest too, you will be the second guardian of this territory in the future, and I will not treat you badly." ”

Satisfied with the mammoth's attitude, Li Hang encouraged it a few words, and then jumped on the trunk of the tree from the top of its head and climbed along the trunk of the banyan tree towards the canopy.

The canopy of the tree is sprinkled with moonlight, which is a good time to practice "looking at the moon and leading thunder", although it is not as fast as when praying, but cultivation has to endure and persevere, no matter what the environment is.

Seeing Li Hang disappear into the canopy, Mammoth closed his eyes after glancing at the fire.
