The Survival of the Wild Tribe

The sun is halo and it is rainy, and the moon halo is windy at noon.

Luo Zhen has heard this proverb before, but apart from seeing this special weather phenomenon on social software, Luo Zhen has seen it for the first time in reality.

Staring at the sun for too long would hurt his eyes, and he quickly closed his eyes.

The other three orc warriors have all gone out. Luo Zhen does not want to wait in the cave idly for them to come back, but he also knows that with his own skill, he wants to get close to the Klushi tribe without being discovered by the opponent's orc warriors. Possible thing. So Luo Zhen is at most walking around the cave, guarded by flame ants, so he doesn't have to worry about encountering beasts.

Putting on the camouflage, Luo Zhen dug a little bit of moist soil on the ground and applied it to his face, so as to reduce the reflection of the skin and make it difficult to be found. After I was ready, I briefly explained to A Chun who was staying in the cave, and then ordered the chasing wind to look at the cave. If there is a business, I need to take A Chun to leave, and notify myself as soon as possible. Then there was a small group of soldier ants guarding the entrance of the cave, and then left with a wooden bow coated with green sap and mottled on the surface.

Staghorn horses are too big and can easily become targets. They are not going to fight against the people of the Kru Lion tribe. Luo Zhen naturally will not bring the staghorn horses out. Even the wild grasses that the staghorn horses need to eat. It was Shanqi who ran outside early in the morning to cut back, enough for the staghorn horses to eat for a day.

Since the day when the antlers left the Riyao tribe with a few people, they have to carry heavy luggage and walk a long way every day. Sometimes the wild conditions are not suitable, and there is no way to take off their luggage even at night to have a good rest. Now they are here. , It’s rare to be able to relax, even the usually active chasing wind, and never want to run outside the cave, quietly lying on the cleaned ground, while feeling the cool mountain breeze blowing from the cave When you are hungry, you can eat the tender leaves when you open your mouth. It's so uncomfortable, as if you are back in the Riyao tribe.

Lu Yi crawled out of Luo Zhen's collar and climbed onto the tallest leaf on the straw hat worn by Luo Zhen. The two tentacles were raised high, giving Luo Zhen a watchful eye on the surrounding situation. Other flame ants scattered around, enclosing Luo Zhen in the middle, no matter which direction the danger is, they can give Luo Zhen the first warning.

Luo Zhen also smeared some powder that could disperse wild beasts. The smell did not smell strong, but predators like foxes and wild wolves didn't like the smell very much, and would take a detour if they smelled it far away.

Luo Zhen did not walk in the direction of the Klu Lion tribe, but made a bend and walked towards a depression in the upper reaches of the river. As he walked, he also set up several small warning devices around the cave. , And a lasso trap used to catch small animals, so that even if no one is guarding outside from time to time, you can know if anyone has appeared nearby.

The entrance of the cave where they are now staying is very secret. If you don't deliberately approach the cave, you won't be able to see anything there, so you don't have to worry too much about being discovered.

The depression was not far from the entrance of the cave. Luo Zhen quickly walked there. Several cuckoo birds were alarmed by Luo Zhen. Before they could scream, they were put to the ground by the extremely fast Ah Siqi. Luo Zhen used a rope to pull All the fainted cuckoos sprang up and threw them into the backpack. Anyway, they didn't plan to raise them. They would just slaughter them when they returned to the cave. There was no worry that these cuckoos would be smothered.

In addition, Luo Zhen also found several white bird eggs in the cuckoo’s nest. Walking along the way, there are not many chances to find the eggs. Compared to the cuckoos who don’t have much meat. , Apparently these few bird eggs made Luo Zhen even more happy.

After packing up, Luo Zhen first checked the environment around the depression. There were a few mangrove trees growing at the junction of the depression and the river, but they did not form the scale of the forest.

The root system of the mangroves is well developed, and many aerial roots even extend into the river. There is a great intention to take root in the center of the river. The depression behind the mangroves looks more like a small swamp with some Luo Zhen growing on it. The plant with its name has a long and slender root system that hides the swamp under the leaves, but the rotten smell from it makes Luo Zhen frown. Near the edge of the swamp, a goat has been dead for several days. Lie quietly in it.

Most of the goat’s body was plunged into the damp mud, and the other half of the exposed wool was also full of dry mud. There were signs of being pecked by small birds. The bitten wounds already gave off a rotten smell. , And even some larvae of mosquitoes and flies have hatched on it, which makes people unbearable to look directly at them.

I don’t know if it’s because of the swamp. Not to mention the traces of human beings. There are not many footprints of wild beasts. There is a river in front of it, and this side is cut off by the swamp. Only those who can approach the cave are left. After getting down to the side leading to the Klu Lion tribe, Luo Zhen was relieved after confirming it.

Luo Zhen originally wanted to turn back like this, but suddenly his eyes froze, and he was attracted by a cluster of plants on the opposite side of the swamp.

Rubbing his eyes, Luo Zhen looked at the golden plant in disbelief. Is that rice? Is that rice that has been fully matured?

"A Si, you can help me pick a seed from the top of that plant and come back." Luo Zhen suppressed his excitement and instructed Ah Si.

Although the swamp is not suitable for large animals to pass through, there is not much obstacle for the small animal like the flame ant.

The two tentacles of Ah Si moved, and after receiving Luo Zhen's order, they quickly crawled off Luo Zhen's shoulders. There are many plants growing in the swamp. A Si can crawl all the way along the leaves of those plants. Its body style is much more flexible than Lu Yi. In addition, the area of ​​the swamp is not too big, and A Si has no flowers. How long it took to climb to the opposite side.

With Luo Zhen commanding him, Ah Si quickly picked up what Luo Zhen needed.

The seeds are golden in color, but they are not as full as the rice that Luo Zhen has seen before. It can even be said to be a bit shriveled and much smaller in size, but because it has already been picked, Luo Zhen can't just look at it for a while. The above judged that this is one of the rice that he has been thinking of for several years as a staple food. Just looking at the similar appearance is enough for Luo Zhen to venture across the swamp to personally verify the name of this plant.

Luo Zhen has observed that if he wants to cross this swamp, he can step on the aerial roots of those mangrove trees.

Although the mangroves grow a little sparsely, many of the air roots underneath are intertwined. Just be careful to cross this swamp. However, for safety, Luo Zhen still digs out the hemp rope prepared in advance from his backpack, runs one end on his waist, and the other is tied to the mangrove pole closest to him, so whether he accidentally slips into the river or falls. In the swamp, he can climb up with the hemp rope at his waist.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the red bushes. When Luo Zhen came out, the beast-repellent powder applied could also repel mosquitoes. In addition, Lu Yi and A Siyi occupied the positions of his two shoulders. Every mosquito wanted If you come closer and bite Luo Zhen, these two little guys will take the first step.

These mangroves do not know how many years they have grown here. Some aerial roots have long been eroded by insects, or they were broken by other aquatic beasts. It is just because they are tightly entangled with other aerial roots, which makes people There was no way to find out at the first time that even though Luo Zhen was already very careful, he still stepped through the air twice. Fortunately, he always used his hands to hold other branches to fix his body, but he did not fall into the swamp, although it took a while. , And went to the opposite side safely.

After using the ability, Luo Zhen knew that this is a wild rice, which is a bit like japonica rice. It belongs to a more cold-tolerant rice species. The growth time is relatively long. Generally, it only matures once a year, or even two years. Large-scale planting requires domestication or even hybridization to increase yield.

There are not many rice plants here, and few seeds are produced. Luo Zhen got a small hand after picking all of them. Among them, there are some particles with empty shells in them. Just in case, Luo Zhen still dug two. When the rice plant went back, Luo Zhen cut off the yellow rice stalks, leaving only a little root with roots.

Apart from this rice, there was nothing else that attracted Luo Zhen's attention. He didn't leave any more, and followed the mangroves back to the other side of the swamp.

Except for this marshland, Luo Zhen also walked half a circle along the foot of the cave where they settled, and found nothing unusual. After picking some wild vegetables, he returned to the cave.

It was just in the afternoon when Luo Zhen found a clean stone slab, put the newly harvested rice on it, and placed it on the edge of the cave where the sun could shine. He specially sent Ah Si with the flame ants to guard it. , Be sure to have a grain of rice, these are the rice seeds he wants to plant, and whether he can eat the fragrant rice in the future depends entirely on them.

I haven’t smelled the scent of rice for several years. For a person who grew up with a snack of rice, the torment is incomparable to any delicacy. If it weren’t for the final sanity, Luo Zhen would have liked it now. A small handful of rice is cooked and eaten.

A few cirrus clouds began to appear on the horizon. A Qing who was patrolling nearby and Shan Qi, who visited the Black Panther Tribe and Shanjia Tribe, returned before the darkness fell. Lu Zhan returned only after nightfall. He walked in. The cave smelled a tempting smell of broth. It was a few cuckoo birds that Luo Zhen caught today. Except for killing two for stewing soup, all the others were stir-fried with wild vegetables. Steamed a pumpkin as a vegetable dish.

The addition of Tai Sui to the soup can make the taste sweeter. In addition, Tai Sui can supplement everyone's lost mental energy and drive away fatigue. Although Tai Sui is precious, it can always be regenerated as long as it is cultivated with crystal fruit. Occasionally, Luo Zhen will still be generous. Take out a little bit to make up for everyone.

As soon as Lu Zhan came back, he didn't have time to take a breath, and first told everyone what he saw in detail.

"What are they building is the Wizard Hall?"

Lu Zhan nodded, "That's what the old wizard said, and listening to his tone, it seems that the Klushi tribe is not the only wizard."
