Star God Ruler of the Moon

Chapter 320 Seven Hunting in the Snowstorm

Estes angrily pulled away his father's big rough hands, patted off the snow on his clothes, and rubbed his red face. The feeling of his face touching the ground just now was really uncomfortable, bitingly cold .

"Let's go, let's go to breakfast. In winter, after the activity, drink a bowl of steaming stomach-warming porridge. It's like a fairy life."

Bartos didn't care about his daughter's dislike. He would feel upset if he lost in a fight. Even the most arrogant people would get a little emotional, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

Hearing Bartos' greeting, Esdece followed his father and walked towards the food place in the center of the resident. At this time, the cook in charge of the family's food supply should have already prepared breakfast.

Winter, when everything is dormant, is the most difficult season of the year to obtain food.

Although the Baluts began to prepare for the winter as early as summer, the appearance of Brezed disrupted the deployment of the tribe. Coupled with the long-distance migration, the supplies for the winter this year are also quite tight. .

In order to prevent another famine, the whole family gathered food together for scheduling, that is, three meals a day were all in one big pot.

Then, quantitative distribution is carried out according to factors such as gender, age, and position. After excluding underage children, all the remaining people abide by the standard of more work and more pay.

In a word, if you don't work, you have nothing to eat.

For example, the warriors responsible for patrolling or hunting eat the largest portion of food as a matter of course. They are undoubtedly the most respected group in the Baluts tribe who respect the strong, not to mention relying on them to protect the tribe. Safety.

Of course, clansmen who are sick or physically disabled have corresponding preferential treatment. Even if it is impossible to have enough food every meal, it is still enough to maintain the needs of life.

Wasting food is strictly prohibited. People who waste food will be imprisoned and starved for a meal at least, and will be starved for two or three days if they are too much, so as to appreciate the precious meaning of food.

Although not as detailed as the laws of the empire, the Baluts also have their own family rules.

For thousands of years, the reason why this ethnic group formed by the fusion of imperial people and aliens can survive crisis after crisis and struggle tenaciously to live in the northern border is because of their tenacious character and unique wisdom.

Although Estes is a woman, she is also a powerful warrior and has become an official member of the hunting team, so the standard of food is naturally the highest.

Although she has a lot of activities due to her practice every day, the girl's appetite is still much smaller than that of other soldiers, so she usually gives half of her own food to her father, so that Bartos, who can only eat [-]% full, can eat and drink. foot.

And Bartos was naturally happy to accept his daughter's kindness, and at the same time enjoyed the envious eyes of soldiers of the same age around him, and proudly showed off his daughter's cuteness and understanding.

After breakfast, Estes hurried back to the tent to put on his weapons and equipment.

The weather is fine now, and when there is no wind or snow, the clan will definitely organize warriors to go out to try their luck. It is naturally best to hunt dangerous species, and it doesn't matter if there is no harvest.

Esdeath never let go of this kind of opportunity to go out to play.

Because only by constantly fighting and challenging can you become stronger, and the heart-pounding fight with dangerous species is the most interesting game for girls.

Different from the forest last time, this time the hunting ground closest to the Baluts tribe is a low mountain range.

Due to the lack of abundant rainfall in the north, the mountains with sparse vegetation have always been bare, but there are not many dangerous species living here, but the species are quite different from those in the south.

Along the rugged mountain road, Estes's boots made a 'creak' sound, leaving footprints on the flat snow, destroying the pure and flawless beauty.

As a powerful warrior and experienced hunting expert, Esdeth has been allowed to act alone by the clan, of course, because hunting in winter is less dangerous.

Because most of the large and dangerous species in northern Xinjiang have the habit of hibernating in their nests. After all, food is scarce and difficult to find.

Without the restraint of the adults in the clan, Esdeth went straight into the depths of the mountains, his sharp eyes swept everything in his field of vision like a falcon, hoping to find some traces of prey in the white snow .

As a hunting expert, tracking is Esdeth's specialty.

Otherwise, just wander around and expect to meet prey. This approach may be tried in summer when dangerous species are active.

The hard work paid off, and after traveling to many places, Esdeth finally found a footprint of a dangerous species.

The footprints on the snow ground moved forward alternately from left to right. The footprints had three toes, and the depression was quite deep. It seemed that the weight of the prey was really heavy.

"Is it a dangerous species of dinosaurs? If it runs on two legs, it is more likely to be carnivorous."

Esdeth squatted by the footprints to check and judge, raised his hand and looked in the direction of the footprints, but found no trace of prey within his line of sight.

"The heavy snow just stopped this morning. The footprints here haven't been left for a long time. The prey shouldn't have gone far!"

Thinking of this, Estes immediately stopped wasting time, got up and followed the footprints and ran quickly to catch up, his eyes filled with excitement, like a lone wolf smelling blood.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten the warning not to go too far into the mountains, and she was only thinking about how to catch up and hunt down this dangerous dinosaur that was looking for food everywhere.

Estes, who only focused on the earth, didn't notice the changes in the sky. Rolling clouds were slowly coming from the north, following the north wind formed by high pressure and invading southward, bringing a new round of heavy snowfall.

The unexpected blizzard disrupted everyone's plans, and the Baluts warriors who went out to try their luck returned one after another, while an alien army from the north also lost its way in the blizzard.

The cold and howling wind blew on her face like a knife, and Esdeth, who was running against the wind, couldn't help but slow down, otherwise the collision between the two sides might really disfigure her.

Looking at the dark sky and the heavy snow, Esdeth originally planned to give up tracking and return, but just as the girl was about to leave, the roar of dinosaurs rang out from behind the hillside not far away.

The prey was close at hand, and Esther, who originally wanted to leave, stopped, resolutely drew a short knife from his waist, and quietly groped towards the hillside, wanting to see the actual situation before deciding to stay.

If the opponent is too strong to beat, then just give up and go home obediently, but if she has the strength to kill the prey, then it would be too stupid to go home empty-handed.

And at the same time, from the opposite direction.

Iskandar, who was riding his beloved horse, wandered aimlessly among the snowy mountains. The carefree young man looked around, touched his head, and said with a smile:

"Ah, I seem to have lost my way."

ps: Second update

Chapter 320: The Young Emperor and Esthers

Iskandar has been wandering outside for more than a month since he successfully sneaked out of the military camp.

Although the time of more than one month was short and hasty, with the help of Aimabu Sifalas, he still inspected the situation in northern Xinjiang.

Generally speaking, Iskandar is quite satisfied with Northern Xinjiang.

The complex terrain of northern Xinjiang has bred various types of dangerous species, and at the same time, there are various rare minerals in the ground, which is an inexhaustible treasure house for the new regime that is developing.

Although due to geographical location, the winter in northern Xinjiang is extremely long, and in terms of planting alone, it can only be one season a year, but with the vines that are too responsible for the food supply, Iskandar is currently not very eager to develop agriculture.

Anyway, the southern part of the empire has a well-developed agriculture and high output. When the time comes, just fight over there to show the way of conquest, and just grab the agricultural industry chain that has been formed for thousands of years.

What is yours is mine, what is mine is still mine.

Although it may seem like an outrageous and unreasonable bandit logic, Iskandar's creed is almost the same.

As the overlord who started the war, Iskandar's favorite thing to do was to forge ahead.

What he enjoys is the process of conquering and defeating his opponents. The huge benefits brought by the victory in the war are certainly gratifying, but in the eyes of the King of Conquerors, they are just icing on the cake.

Based on the present, with the world in mind.

The vast and boundless land under his feet is the best place for Iskandar to realize his wish, and it is also the immortal cornerstone for him to show his kingly way.

Because they wanted to stir up a revolution in this land, Kong Ming and Iskandar did not plan to use the power of the heroic spirits to push the empire horizontally, but as leaders to lead the local people to fight for their own victory .

For the new regime, the empire is undoubtedly an invincible behemoth. Even if it is rotten and depraved, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Therefore, adhering to the nine-character principle of 'building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly', Iskandar can foresee that for a long time in the future, all of it will be used to accumulate and develop strength, even if he wants to use troops against the empire, he will not get Kong Ming recognition.

But the empire cannot be touched, but it does not mean that the northern aliens cannot be touched.

What's more, even if I and others don't take the initiative to provoke the northern aliens, the northern aliens have always been eyeing the rich areas in the empire, basically committing rebellion every year.

Now that the northern border has been occupied by Iskandar, and he is planning to include the northern border into his own territory, the alien race in the north is a potential enemy that has to be considered.

For the war that would break out in the future, Iskandar naturally went to take a walk around the alien territory in the north to study how to deal with these people.

Of course, before that, Iskandar had to find a way to get out of the predicament of getting lost, but he didn't have a map in his hand.

Estes carefully climbed to the top of the hill, looked down, and saw a blue-gray bipedal dinosaur resting underneath, which excited the girl who had found the prey.

"This seems to be the species that Dad caught last time, right? It seems that there are materials in the body that can be sold for money, but the best quality must be obtained while alive, and the highest price can be sold."

Thinking of this, Estes couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Although she could kill this dangerous species with her strength, it was completely impossible to capture it alive. The last time Bartos was able to capture it alive was only with the help of traps and many warriors in the clan.

However, the meat of this dangerous dinosaur species also tastes good. It belongs to the type that can be eaten without the head. It is nutritious, non-toxic and harmless.

Just before Esdeth made up his mind, the dangerous dinosaur seemed to have noticed something. He raised his huge head and looked forward. His squatting body stood up, his eyes were full of appetite, as if he smelled food sweet taste.

The powerful hind legs of the dinosaur jumped out, and Esthers, who sensed the movement of the prey, subconsciously took action, jumped out of the hillside and jumped onto the back of the dinosaur.

The dinosaur running at full speed was extremely bumpy, so that Esdeth could only lie tightly on the back of the dinosaur and could not move around. He was completely unable to move to the vital position of the neck to kill the prey.

"What's going on here? It was fine just now, why did it suddenly go crazy?"

Estes poked his head out to look forward, and there was a black shadow standing vaguely in the hazy snow. From the outline, it seemed to be a person riding a tall horse. Only then did he realize that it was a very hungry dangerous dinosaur that had found food.

Seeing that the dinosaur was getting closer and closer to the other party, but the man seemed to be frightened and didn't respond. Estes, who couldn't pull out his hand to kill the dangerous species, could only shout at the top of his throat:

"Hey——! The guy in front, get out of here!!"

Although the blizzard severely restricted the visibility within the field of vision, Iskandar had already spotted the dangerous dinosaur species rushing over, and slowly drew out the sword worn at his waist.

"Ah, how many times is this already? There is indeed a shortage of food in winter. Once these carnivorous dangerous species find out about your existence, Busifalas, they will all rush over to give you your head."

While joking, Iskandar stroked the mane of the steed under his crotch, and Busifalas snorted disdainfully in response.

As a warhorse transformed into a heroic spirit, Buciferas would never love any other warhorse of a heroic spirit, except for the Chitu who became a spirit. , and even a kick can kill a head.

If it hadn't been for Iskandar's order to restrain his breath and serve as bait, the dangerous dinosaur species with a lower life level would never have rushed over so bravely, and would have fled in the opposite direction with its tail between its legs.

Originally, he planned to wait for the dangerous dinosaurs to be delivered to his door, but when Iskandar heard the voice of Esdeth, he immediately changed his mind, holding the rein in his hand and driving Busifalas to charge forward.

"There is actually someone? It sounds like she's still a woman. What are you doing here in the wilderness? You have to save her quickly, or God knows how long this king will have to get lost."

Like black lightning, Busifalas arrived in front of the dinosaur in an instant. When the two intersected, Iskandar took up the knife and chopped off the huge head of the dangerous species.

Hot red blood splashed around like a fountain, the huge lifeless body fell forward, and the girl riding on the dragon's back was thrown into the air by inertia.

Before Estes could respond, Busifalas bit her clothes and held her in the air, and Iskandar's caring greetings sounded in her ears:

"Hello, unknown lady, the crisis has been resolved, are you okay?"

ps: One update

Chapter 320 IX The Northern Aliens Strike

While speaking, Iskandar sheathed his sword and dismounted from his horse, while Busifalas lightly placed Esdeth on the snow, bringing the girl who was still a little dazed back to her senses.

Iskandar wanted to stretch out his hand to Esdeth who was sitting on the ground, but his polite behavior did not get the response he deserved.

Because the vigilant Estes turned over and jumped up, he directly opened the distance, keeping the two in a relatively safe state.

"Who are you? Why are you in this mountain?"

Estes stared at Iskandar vigilantly and looked up and down, her right hand moved quietly and slowly to the handle of the knife at her waist, and if she found something wrong, she would immediately draw the knife and face it.

The young man in front of him looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his appearance and clothing were not of any kind that Estes knew. Presumably, he was not an ethnicity that lived in the northern border for a long time, and at the same time, he didn't look like the southern one. Come Imperials.

"Northern aliens? Or the Western Kingdom? Guys of this age shouldn't act alone. Are there any of them around here?"

Estes thought quickly in her mind. She would never let go of her guard until she knew her friends and foes. Even after confirming that the other party was not hostile, she would continue to maintain her due vigilance.

The law of the forest is the law of the jungle.

Thus, in the forest the positions of the hunter and the prey change from moment to moment.

Fights between tribes often occurred due to competition for the ownership of prey, and murder and robbery were even more common.

Anyway, it is in the remote wilderness, and even the dead bodies do not need to be disposed of and buried. Many hungry carnivorous or scavenging dangerous species will be more than happy to handle all the follow-up for you.

Seeing that Esdeth was so cautious, Iskandar could only spread his palms forward, keep his arms drooping naturally, and keep a sunny and bright smile on his face, indicating that he did not have any hostility.

"My name is Iskandar. Of course, you can also call me Alexander. I come from the northern border of the empire. My current identity is a lost traveler."

Suspicion flashed across Estes' face when she heard the words. She didn't immediately believe Iskandar's words, but she still felt the friendly attitude shown by the other party, so out of politeness and respect, she did not continue to maintain obvious posture of alert.

"Lost? Just you? You didn't get separated from your team, did you? Although your strength is indeed very strong, there are countless super dangerous species in this mountain range."

Even though the activity of dangerous species in winter is indeed the lowest throughout the year, inexperienced ordinary people dare not walk alone in the snow-capped mountains. Whether they will encounter an avalanche is another matter, but if they step on a sinkhole You won't be thrown to death, but you will also be frozen to death or starved to death.

Snow mountains, deserts, tropical rainforests, any terrain that is extreme to a certain extent, is an absolute forbidden zone for human life. The traps naturally generated in nature are no worse than those carefully designed by humans.

"Ah, I've only been lost for more than a day. Maybe I was lucky enough not to encounter the things you were worried about. Sure enough, it was an incomparably correct choice not to bring that guy Cu Chulainn along."

Iskandar also didn't know how to answer Esdeth's question. Although the reason he gave was a bit far-fetched, it was still a reasonable explanation.

The howling wind and snow filled the sky, and the gloomy black clouds pressed on the top of the mountain.

Estes was about to continue asking questions, but was interrupted by Iskandar:
