Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 16

The team quickly entered the jungle, and had been walking for two or three hours without knowing it. Jiang Xia was surprised by her good physical strength. As expected of a member of the orc tribe, even females have not weak physical strength, but compared The male who ran into the depths of the jungle to investigate and then ran back easily, Jiang Xia was calm, no matter how hard he could stand in front of the brave and vigorous male orc, it only cost him a finger.

The weather is fine, the morning sun shines on the ground through the layered branches and green leaves, forming mottled light and shadow, and occasionally there are crisp birdsong.As it gradually deepened, the vigilance of the orcs began to increase, and the frequency of sending people to investigate increased. Jiang Xia also made the tense atmosphere confusing, looking back and forth from time to time, thinking that Ares had been gone for a long time, Jiang Xia and others. She was a little anxious, only a few days ago, she already had a deep dependence on Ares, although this proud peacock would challenge her patience from time to time, but with Ares by her side, Jiang Xia always felt inexplicably Safety.

In the end, even Frode on one side felt her nervousness, "It's just normal vigilance, you don't have to worry, Ares will be back soon." Jiang Xia always felt that Frode's character was very stable and escaped from Qiqi Their temperaments complement each other, so I have a good impression of him, "It's just that the more you go inside, the more dangerous you are, and everyone's spirits are also tense." Frode understands, "It's just a routine wayfinding, and the jungle ahead is even more dangerous. It is lush, and the hunting range of orcs usually does not go that far. In order to prevent the harassment of ferocious beasts, the range of pathfinding has been specially expanded. There is a large open space in the center of the jungle, and we will rest there at noon." Frode made it very clear, Jiang Xia The restless heart slowly calmed down.

Sure enough, Ares appeared as soon as Frode told him, holding a large handful of berries in his hand. "Here, I promise you a good thing." Jiang Xia took it carefully. The orc's palm was as big as a small cattail fan. Jiang Xia couldn't hold the berries brought back by Ares, and finally shared a lot with Binnie.Although Ares had a bad temper, he was still very generous to people he knew well, and he didn't get mad because Jiang Xia gave away the fruits he had worked so hard to pick.

Jiang Xia looked at the purple berry in his hand. It was the same size as a strawberry. The juice made the skin full of the fruit. The skin was so thin that it could be torn off completely with a little force. look like.The slight fruity aroma makes Jiang Xia greedy, and a bite is full of sweet and sour water. "It's delicious, it tastes good." Jiang Xia grinned and spoke highly of it, "Ares, do you want to try it?" As he spoke, he handed the whole fruit in front of Ares. "Only you females like these sweet and sour things, I just drink water." He motioned Jiang Xia to give him the water bottle he was carrying.

As soon as Jiang Xia took out the kettle, he attracted a lot of curiosity. There are utensils made of bamboo tubes in the tribe, but no one thought that as long as there are two holes on the side of the tube, the rope can be threaded, and the animal skin can be tied. Water, convenient and will not leak.The method is very simple, but what is rare is that if Jiang Xia knew everyone's thoughts, she would probably feel emotional. She has seen more than them about the wealth accumulated by China's 5000-year civilization.Seeing everyone's enthusiastic eyes staring at him—Aris, who is drinking water from the kettle in his hand, is a little proud. His partner of Ares is indeed the smartest female, so the demos will be envious.

Jiang Xia didn't ask Ares about the result of the discussion. Here, she is not even half-baked, she just relies on a sudden inspiration, if she is easy to talk about it on paper, it might be a bad thing.Ares took over the responsibility of restraining the camel from Frod, and the tribe moved forward quietly and slowly.Loud noises or big movements may attract ferocious animals, which will only cause trouble for the team, so everyone consciously lowered their voices. After all, they are on the road, not hunting, and there is no need to waste time for one or two animals.After Jiang Xia confirmed the safe situation, she began to regret that she hadn't seen what it's like when a male captures a wild beast.Such an opportunity came soon, and Jiang Xia felt that it would be better for her not to be crow-mouthed next time.

At noon, the team came to a large open space. Jiang Xia couldn't tell whether it was man-made or natural. A piece of bare stone and soil was exposed on the surface, making the whole forest seem to be bald.Jiang Xia didn't have the time to care about these things. When it was close to noon, she finally felt the limit of her physical strength. Her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't move. The water in the kettle had already been drunk. The streams are parallel, but the stream coming down from the mountain will not be a straight line, and sometimes it takes a long arc to turn back.Jiang Xia was embarrassed to let Ares run alone to lie down for drinking water. Ares, who needed to schedule back and forth, was not idle all morning, running back and forth non-stop.

So when they arrived at the resting place, Binny asked Jiang Xia if she would go to the stream with him to wash and get some water, Jiang Xia agreed although she was very tired.The clearing was not far from the stream, and when it stopped, Ares sent the orcs to patrol the periphery, and the position of the stream happened to be within the range of the patrol.Not far away, Jiang Xia heard the sound of rushing water. The jungle is flat and far away from Dongshan Mountain, and the streams converging here are already quite large.Jiang Xia took off her boots and stepped into the water, the stream was already as high as her knees.The temperature in early autumn is not very low. There is little vegetation to cover this open space. The sun at noon directly shines on the water. The water temperature is cool but not too cold. Walking in the morning makes the soles of the feet ache. It eased a lot.Jiang Xia felt comfortable and wanted to sigh, but she was afraid of a long delay. Ares couldn't find her, so she filled the water bottle and planned to go ashore.

Then, there was no tragedy before getting out of the water.In order to facilitate washing, Jiang Xia chose to enter the water from behind a big rock half a person's height.At that time, I felt that there were orcs patrolling around, and Binnie was beside me, so there should be no danger. Besides, although the stream was knee-deep, it was crystal clear, and there was not even a fish. Even if there was anything, I could see it at first sight, so There was a lack of vigilance in her heart. Afterwards, Jiang Xia realized that she had always been careful and thoughtful everywhere because of Ares, the almighty tiger. Instead, she became careless. In nature, there are hunters like orcs, and of course there are other hunters. The hunter regarded her as prey, and the lesson this time finally made Jiang Xia serious. If she is in danger next time and Ares is not around, will she still be able to escape easily?She must not only survive but also become stronger, so that when the next danger comes, she can rely on herself without Ares.

The camera zoomed back to the present, Jiang Xia packed the water, went ashore along the place where he just entered the water, turned around and took two steps, when he heard Ares yelling "Xia Xia, go to the shore..." The always arrogant peacock actually made a voice tremble.Jiang Xia looked back subconsciously, but saw a scene she would never forget, a cyan boa constrictor the size of a bucket jumped out of the water, opened its mouth wide and rushed towards her, Jiang Xia could even see the bright red snake letter swinging back and forth clearly, Jiang Xia could no longer make a sound, even her movements were still. The next scene was more exciting than the 3D movies she had seen. The moment the python pounced on her, Ares, who ran over shouting, also jumped When he got up, he turned into a white tiger in the air, and rushed towards the green python. One python and one tiger approached little by little in the air. Jiang Xia's mind went blank, and she closed her eyes in despair. She felt a violent wind blowing past her left ear. .

The expected pain did not appear, she was not bitten, and she was still alive!Jiang Xia opened her eyes and anxiously looked for Ares.The green python was knocked to the shore by Ares, a python and a tiger fought together, the white tiger bit the python's head tightly, the tail of the green python kept slapping the ground, sand and stones flew around, the orcs who heard the movement started Approach this way.Jiang Xia stood in the water blankly, her clothes were almost soaked, and Binnie's movement of grabbing her arm made her tremble violently. "Let's get out of here quickly, so as not to be affected." Binny pulled her and quickly ran towards the other side of the bank, where two or three orcs were guarding. "But Ares is still fighting the python." The fear just now made Jiang Xia forget that her husband is a more ferocious tiger. "It's normal for them males. If we protect ourselves and don't cause trouble, we are helping. If we had known, we wouldn't have brought you to the water." Binny took Jiang Xia's trembling arm, feeling very guilty, "Who Knowing that there is still this big guy hiding in the water."

The heart in Jiang Xia's throat finally fell back slowly, "Binnie, don't say that, am I fine now, can they help Ares?" The two of them were surrounded by the orcs on the shore, very nervous. Safety.Jiang Xia was extremely worried when she saw Ares being entangled by the python. "Subduing prey alone is the supreme honor of an orc. Usually, a male orc alone completes a single prey. Other orcs are not allowed to help if they do not receive a distress signal." The rules are so cruel.

Fortunately, Ares's combat power should not be underestimated. No matter how the python locked his body, he only bit the snake's head fiercely, and Gu Kong used his sharp claws to claw at the snake's belly from time to time. The furious python finally lost its life force. The body slipped and could no longer move.

Ares won, the tiger turned back into a human form, and Jiang Xia's beating heart completely returned to its original place.After confirming that there was no more danger around, Jiang Xia waded to Ares' side.The big peacock was only wearing an animal skin skirt, and there were several purple strangle marks on the exposed waist of the ape, which were left by the fight just now. The rest of the body was not injured, but was in high spirits because it had just caught a tricky prey. His black eyes were shining brightly.Seeing that Ares was fine, Jiang Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but was severely criticized, "Didn't I tell you not to run around? There are still males staying behind in the camp, Frode and the others are also there, you can't find someone to accompany you." Are you coming out together? Idiot, big idiot, if I don’t happen to come back, do you know what will happen to you? En?” Thinking of the scene where the boa constrictor pounced on the little female, Ares was terrified, but fortunately he did, Didn't let her get hurt, otherwise he, he might... Ares couldn't tell what he felt in his heart now, he was afraid, afraid that his little female would just disappear.

Jiang Xia listened to Ares's criticism with a smile, never thought the big white tiger was so cute like now, stepped forward in a strange way, and hugged the big peacock who was still chattering tightly, "Aris, I'm so happy, we They are not injured, I will be careful next time, trust me." After speaking, he buried his head in Ares's chest.

"..." Ares could only feel the warm breath of the little female gently scratching his chest like a feather, the heat gradually rose from the chest, spread up the neck and cheeks, and the heart was beating wildly. Jump.Ares should be thankful that his skin is not white, and he did not expose his nervousness and shyness, otherwise, what is the majesty of Peacock Ares.

"What an unreserved little female, even if you are thinking about me, you have to wait until no one sees, remember?" Ares was afraid that Jiang Xia would hear his frantic heartbeat, so he laughed at his childishness, and hurriedly removed Jiang Xia from Pulling off his body, he was reluctant to part with the softness of Xinxiang in his arms, and his movements were extraordinarily sloppy.

The big peacock's face-saving problem came out again, but this time Jiang Xia didn't get angry at all, and just managed to get out of Ares' arms. The involuntary feeling just now made her feel a little flustered, and she said "I know." Without turning back, she walked towards Binny.

... Ares looked at the empty arms, feeling lost. For the first time, he wondered if his mouth was too poisonous.
