"Eric, why did you come back so early today?"

"Eric, how are you looking at it? When will the people of the Leopard tribe leave the back mountain..."

"Eric, two more tribe members were injured today..."

Eric is the grandson of the race leader and the youngest and strongest warrior in the clan. He is enthusiastic and kind. Whenever there is anything in the clan, everyone likes to ask him for help.

This time the leopard orcs interfered with their race, Eric volunteered to go to the back mountain to check, and everyone was very concerned.

However, before the questions were asked one after another, the tribe members were stunned when they saw the petite female behind Eric, and their attention was turned to Ji Xiaoou.

Eric's race belongs to reindeer, and is generally large in size, both male and female, and they are tall and strong.

Ji Xiaoou stood next to Eric, not even Eric's chest.

She has a small figure, a small face, and a thin neck that seems to break with a twist.

Unlike their hair, her skin is smooth and hairless, and she looks like a minor at first glance.

Faced with the doubts in the eyes of the tribe, Eric took the initiative to explain: "She was Ji Xiaoou, and I met her in the back mountain. She got separated from her own tribe, so I invited her to stay in the tribe for a night and wait until the danger in the back mountain was lifted before leaving."

Danger naturally refers to the orcs of the leopard tribe.

The tribesmen didn't speak, looked at Ji Xiaoou, then looked at each other, looking alert.

This female looks different from them and is dressed weirdly. Will it cause any trouble?

It’s no wonder that these tribe members think too much. It’s because there are too many injured members in the tribe recently, and everyone is in danger.

Eric noticed everyone's mood and quickly said, "She is a herbivorous species like us. If you smell it, she smells it, and she smells like catnip."

As soon as these words were said, the reindeer orcs raised their sensitive noses and really smelled the fragrance of grass.

He immediately put down all his guard and showed a friendly smile to Ji Xiaoou.

"Since that's the case, why not live in my house, and there's a redundant house in my house."

"My family has newly grown corn this year. I wonder if this female likes to eat it? I'll get some."

"What is your race? It looks like a minor and has not grown all the hair. Your parents will worry."

...

The reindeer family is friendly and has a gentle personality.

Once they realized that Ji Xiaoou was not threatening them, they became extremely enthusiastic.

Ji Xiaoou smiled reluctantly, held the catnip sachet on his waist tightly with his fingers, and hid it quietly behind him.

Finally, Eric declined the invitation from his tribe and took Ji Xiaoou back to the place where he lived with his grandfather.

Eric's grandfather was named Borie, and he was the oldest and most famous clan leader in the clan.

Eric's parents died early, and he brought Eric up step by step.

"Grandpa, I'll bring back a new friend." Eric pushed open the fence door, his tone of joy.

An old man with a hunched back was drying mushrooms in the yard. He slowly turned around when he heard Eric's words... Well, Ji Xiaoou thought that if he hadn't also had a pair of antlers on his head, she might have regarded him as an ordinary old man.

The old man greeted him before he could see the person clearly: "Eric, come and help me dry these fresh mushrooms. Winter is coming soon. We must store some food..." His eyes turned, and he fell on Ji Xiaoou next to him and stopped immediately.

Eric introduced very skillfully: "Grandpa, her name is Ji Xiaoou, and she is a new friend I met in the back mountain..."

No matter how shocked Ji Xiaoou was at this time, she knew that if she wanted to survive here, she must integrate into them as soon as possible.

So he stood respectfully and called someone obediently: "Grandpa."

The smile on the face of the leader of Porui disappeared, and the fresh mushrooms in his hand spilled all over the floor, and his eyes looked back and forth on Ji Xiaoou. After a long time, after silence, he slowly picked up the fresh mushrooms falling on the ground, "Oh...new friend."

Eric nodded and continued, "She has been separated from her tribe members. Grandpa, can we find a way to help her find her tribe members?"

The leader of the Pori is a good old man in the race. He will not refuse anyone who asks him for anything.

Eric's helpful character was inherited from him.

But this time, he looked at Ji Xiaoou deeply and responded unexpectedly: "We can't help her."

Eric was surprised. He didn't expect his grandfather to refuse so simply, "Why can't you help? Every race has its own settlement, as long as you know which race she belongs to..."

The leader of the Pori calmly interrupted: "Her race is not here."

Ji Xiaoou's heart jumped suddenly and looked at Eric's grandfather.

But after saying this, he stopped saying anything, turned around and walked into the wooden house without saying a word.

Eric scratched his cheek and comforted Ji Xiaoou: "Don't worry, it may be that there have been too many things recently. Grandpa said so to protect the safety of his tribe members. Don't worry, since I promised to help you find the tribe members, I will not go back on my word."

Ji Xiaoou nodded and smiled absent-mindedly at him, "Thank you, Eric."

For dinner, we had wheat seedlings, corn kernels and fresh mushroom soup.

Both raw corn and mushroom soup are acceptable, but the only raw wheat seedlings are really hard to swallow.

Fortunately, Eric and his grandfather didn't care. Eric even thought she just simply didn't like eating wheat seedlings, so he even gave her an extra bowl of mushroom soup.

After dinner, Eric went to his friend Carter's house to borrow wooden boards. There was an empty house on the west side of the yard, which was ventilated and could be lived in as long as one more bed was made.

After Eric left, Ji Xiaoou took the initiative to pack up the table and glanced at the old man who was weaving rattan mats in the yard.

After a long time, she walked up to the old man and asked hesitantly: "Captain, why do you say that my race is not here?"

The leader of the Porui clan weaving rattan mats was to make a bed for Ji Xiaoou. He paused when he heard this, "I think you should know more about where your race is, I think you should know more than me."

Ji Xiaoou was only holding a trace of luck in his heart, but after hearing what he said, he was even more convinced that he must know something.

He said it rightly, Ji Xiaoou's race is not here, nor even in this world.

"Then do you... know how I should go back?" Ji Xiaoou endured it again and again, but still couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." The leader of the Porui clan replied without raising his head.

Ji Xiaoou lowered her head in a loss. She was obviously the expected answer, but she was still very disappointed.

After a while, the leader of the Porrei asked: "Does Eric know your true identity?"

"I don't know, I didn't tell him." Ji Xiaoou shook his head and pinched the corner of his clothes. "Eric told me... Human beings became extinct seven hundred years ago. Is this true?" After that, he stared at the reaction of the leader of the Pore.

The head of the Porri had a calm face and nodded, "It's true."

Ji Xiaoou's heart fell into the bottom of the valley.

The leader of the Porui thought of something, his eyes turned to the distance, and his antlers with complex horns on his head were also raised, "Humans are the smartest and most dangerous creatures ever. They invented many impossible things and changed many impossible things. Unfortunately, they failed to adapt to the drastic changes in the environment and became losers."

The old man's voice was distant, "Seven hundred years ago, the climate in Bornia underwent earth-shaking changes, the four seasons were chaotic, day and night were reversed. When everything slowly adjusted, humans also disappeared."

Ji Xiaoou was shocked when he thought that there was no dawn and dusk day and night here.

The result of the upside down of day and night is the loss of dawn and dusk. What about the chaos of the four seasons?

The leader of the Porui clan weaved a rattan mat and looked at Ji Xiaoou, "Where are you from? A survivor of humanity?"

Ji Xiaoou shook her head, "No." She explained how she came here to the old man, "I don't know why I came here. By the time I want to go back, I can no longer go back."

She clearly remembered that when she fell from the cliff, there was a force pulling her.

It seemed as if she was deliberately dragging her into this world.

The leader of the Porre did not speak for a long time until he saw Eric coming back from a distance, and then slowly said: "This is the westernmost part of Bornia. If you want to know how to go back, you might as well go to the nearest sea area in the easternmost area and find a turtle named Pat. It has the longest life span and may help you."

As soon as Eric finished speaking, he pushed open the fence door and walked in: "Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

The head of the Porrui shook the rattan mat and said kindly, "It's nothing, go and make the bed quickly, it will be dark in a while."

Eric smiled at Ji Xiaoou, showed his teeth, turned around and carried the pile of wooden boards on his shoulder and went to knock on them.

Eric is very efficient. Before dark, he made a sturdy small bed, spread a rattan mat, a layer of cotton, and a layer of rattan mat. The two rattan mats are sewn together to make a simple mattress.

Ji Xiaoou slept in bed for the first time after coming over. Although she was not as comfortable as at home, she slept very peacefully.

After dawn, Ji Xiaoou made a decision.

Despite the uncertainty of this matter, she still wanted to go to the easternmost waters.

What if she finds a way to go back? She has nowhere else to go anyway.

After the decision, Ji Xiaoou was about to say goodbye to Eric and the head of Porre, but found that Eric was not in the yard.

"He went to the cornfield in the back mountain." Patriarch Borui told her.

Ji Xiaoou asked about the general direction and prepared to go there alone.

The head of the Porrui wanted to see her off, but he was old and staggered. Ji Xiaoou quickly declined: "No, just sit here. Anyway, it's not far from here, I'll just go by myself."

The leader of the Porui knew his physical condition well and did not persist.

Ji Xiaoou carried his backpack and headed to the back mountain.

Only then did she realize that there were not only Eric's race nearby, but also argas and Dutch rabbits.

Looking at the groups of beastmen with huge horns and long ears, Ji Xiaoou took a long way without thinking, not wanting to be discovered by them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
