Chapter 14: The Rabble
After Liu Dafei and the other four entered the Hundred Beast Cave with Chen Hao, they were obviously a little alienated from Chen Hao. Several of them have lived and died together, and for them, Chen Hao is still an outsider for the time being.
Chen Hao didn't care, just chatted with Liu Dafei casually, and let them take him with him.
The terrain of the Hundred Beast Cave is much more complex than that of the Sand Cave.
The place where Chen Hao and his entourage entered was a valley, and when they walked out of the valley, there was a vast grassland in front of them. Further afield, there are forests and mountains.
Everyone began to search the grassland for traces of demon beasts.
This is not quite what Chen Hao imagined. It turns out that the monsters here are not densely packed everywhere like game copies. It's very realistic, just like people hunting, more time and energy need to be used to find traces of prey.
Chen Hao also saw another group of people, but those people did not come to provoke them, but rushed straight to the forest at the foot of the mountain range in the distance.
Until the end of the first day, Chen Hao and the others did not find a single demon beast. Only one beast, which feeds on grass like a deer, was captured and prepared for dinner.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet completely dark, the group stopped at the gentle turn of a small river on the grassland, preparing to use this place as today's camp.
A bonfire was lit by the river, and the skinned beasts were roasting on the fire, and began to disperse, one, Ben, reading #novelxstxt emitted a burst of meat aroma.
If you just look at the scene in front of you, it's really a very atmospheric camping life. Chen Hao sighed secretly, he was very dissatisfied with the current situation, because it seemed that the demon beasts were not so easy to hunt.
After a day of getting along, the relationship between Liu Dafei and the other four people and Chen Hao became less blunt. Of course, this has a lot to do with Chen Hao's low-key, he doesn't express any opinions at all throughout the day, and he follows what others do, so that the "own people" who were originally hugged together slowly relaxed their guard against him.
"Ergou, why do you want to follow us to do this work?" Liu Dafei was more familiar with Chen Hao, and he couldn't help but ask his doubts when he was free.
The other three all looked at Chen Hao, obviously curious.
"I don't like to be in the sun every day, and I often don't have enough to eat. Look, isn't it a lot better now?" Chen Hao smiled, tore off a beast leg, tore off the golden beast meat roasted on it, and beckoned everyone to share the food: "This should be cooked, come, and then ......"
Liu Dafei said while gnawing on the beast meat: "This job is not as easy as you think. ”
"At least you can eat meat and fill your stomach. ”
"I can fill my stomach now, but I can't tell when I will fill the belly of the demon beast. Ding Yi, the eldest of the five, said.
Today's actions are mostly Ding Yi's decision. But there is no clear commander, and sometimes others have to do their own thing. It seems that it is only because he is the oldest in this group. And he himself did not have the consciousness to become a leader.
"If you want me to say, Chen Ergou is stupid. Li Ling is the person who likes to do his own thing the most today, and he is unceremonious to everyone.
Chen Hao glanced at him and continued to turn the barbecue on the bonfire. Everyone else chatted casually, and Chen Hao didn't hear any useful information.
Everyone is a cultivator, although the cultivation method may be rubbish, no matter how much stronger than ordinary people. In terms of the amount of food, it is much more than the average person can eat. A beast of thirty or forty pounds was quickly eaten clean by everyone.
Chen Hao couldn't help but secretly wonder, is his cultivation very slow, is it also related to insufficient nutrition?
After all, although I had heard that when I cultivated to a certain level, I could eat and drink dew, but now everyone is in the early stage of cultivation, and it is the time when a lot of nourishment is needed. If there is no pill, forget it, all you can eat is some poor food that is not nutritious, and you often can't eat enough, if you want to say that it has no effect on cultivation, Chen Hao doesn't believe it.
And they all lay on the ground, ready to rest.
Even if there is no special technique, relying on the improvement of the body by the aura, and the physical fitness of the cultivator himself, there is no discomfort when everyone lies on the ground.
Chen Hao said to Ding Yi: "Brother Ding, do you need to arrange someone to keep vigil?"
Ding Yi patted his head: "Alas, look at my memory." In the past, when Qian Xu was still there, he arranged for people to keep vigil, and I forgot about it for a while. ”
Turn your head to look at this, look at that, but don't know how to arrange it.
Several people avoided Ding Yi's gaze, and Li Ling immediately let out an even snoring sound.
A group of rabble, Chen Hao could only shake his head.
Ding Yi said embarrassedly: "That's it, I'll keep vigil first today." In the middle of the night, Chen Ergou changed me. It's the other people's turn to keep vigil tomorrow, okay?"
Everyone didn't answer, and Ding Yi didn't care, got up, and sat by the fire to take care of the bonfire.
Liu Dafei said: "Let's rotate five people, and one person will stay for more than an hour." ”
Chen Hao said: "I think it's okay to divide it into three shifts, with two hours per shift." The first shift was a vigil by one person, and then two people worked together. It's not easy to doze off, and it's a little safer. ”
It is a matter of his own life safety, Chen Hao can no longer be sloppy.
"Okay, I'll be on your band. Liu Dafei said.
"Then I'll be on the first shift. Li Ling got up and said.
The first shift is when I haven't slept yet, and I don't go to bed until the night is over, so I won't be dozing off at all. The second and third shifts will be woken up just when they are asleep, and they will suffer a loss. It seems that no one is stupid.
Everyone glanced at Li Ling, but no one raised any objections. So it was decided.
Chen Hao was woken up in the early morning, and today was his last shift.
Chen Hao cleaned up the bonfire, and there was not much firewood and grass left, so that the fire could be burned a little smaller, so that it could be maintained until dawn.
Liu Dafei was a little sleepy-eyed, and said to Chen Hao: "Ergou, let's talk, so that I don't doze off." ”
"Say it. ”
"Do you remember when you were a child?" Liu Dafei asked casually.
"I don't remember. ”
"That's good. Liu Dafei didn't know if he was talking nonsense casually, or if he was really envious of this.
"What's so good?"
"I often remember when I was a kid and I feel sad now. You don't remember anything, so it's good to be fine. ”
"Not necessarily. You used to have a good life when you were a child, and you still have a thought, but I don't even know many simple things. ”
"My mom and dad are monks in the big city, but they have violated the law...... I was sold into slavery. I was very young, but I was two years older than you, so I could remember a lot more. ”
"Is the law useful for monks, too? I mean, a very powerful kind of monk. Chen Hao had heard the word "alliance" many times, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Awesome, as long as there is no Heavenly Dao Alliance Alliance Master, you have to be controlled by the Alliance Law. No, no, I was wrong, even if you are more powerful than the alliance leader, as long as you are not as powerful as the seven members of the Heavenly Dao Peak combined, you have to be controlled by the alliance law. Hehe......"
"Yes, how big is the Heavenly Dao Alliance?" Chen Hao took the opportunity to inquire about some useful information. Although he has the "Qiankun Catalogue", the identification function on it is only useful when he sees the object, and it is ineffective for people.
"I don't know how big the Heavenly Dao Alliance is. It shouldn't be the biggest, there are many Heavenly Dao Alliance monks, but there are not many mortals. Unlike the Datong Empire, there are tens of billions of mortals, which is said to be very large. ”
"Then what country does our Heavenly Dao Alliance belong to?"
"It doesn't belong to any country, the Heavenly Dao Alliance is equivalent to a country. It's just that it's not called Heavenly Dao Kingdom. ”
Chen Hao fiddled with the bonfire and asked again, "That...... Is there any other country? I mean...... In Taihao day. ”
"I remember there was also a snake worshipper...... I don't know if it's the name, I was very young at the time. After I became a slave, no one told me stories like this anymore......"
"I've never heard a story, tell me about it. ”
"It is said that the emperor of the snake worship country is a big snake, and the people of that country think that the big snake is a god, so it is called the snake worship country. ”
Listening to Liu Dafei's unclear memories and legends that seemed to be true and false, the sky slowly brightened.
