I don't know how long it took, but Long Chen opened his eyes. First he saw light, which made him sigh in relief. It was good, he was still alive.
Afterwards, he found himself lying on a simple bed. Although it was made of rough wood, it looked very carefully laid and had a slight fragrance.
Look again at the place where you are. It is a wooden house. Some animal skins, bows and arrows and some spears are hung on the wooden walls. On the ground not far away, there is a small stove with an iron pot in the middle.
Hot air and the aroma of rice wafted out from inside.
Just as Long Chen was looking at the wooden house, the wooden door opened with a creak, and a girl wearing a coarse short skirt walked in.
The girl looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure, her arms and thighs were exposed, and her skin had a hint of wheat color, giving her an extremely healthy aura.
A medium-long ponytail is tied behind her head. She has a face that is not too beautiful, but her smart eyes make her feel very approachable.
After the girl entered the room, she first put her backpack on the ground, ran to the stove and opened the iron pot.
"Oh, it was so dangerous, I almost got confused."
The girl looked at the food in the pot, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to herself.
But suddenly she felt something was wrong. She slowly turned her head and saw Long Chen looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Yeah, you're awake, that's great."
When the girl saw Long Chen sitting up, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. She ran to Long Chen's side and hugged him. She was extremely excited.
"Ahem...Girl, isn't this a little inappropriate?"
Long Chen was held in the arms of a girl, and his face just touched the girl's chest. He could smell the healthy and energetic scent of the girl.
However, being hugged by a strange girl made Long Chen extremely uncomfortable. If he pushed her away, it would seem a bit inhumane, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Is there anything inappropriate? I picked you up and you are my man. This is the rule of our village. Who dares to make irresponsible remarks?" The girl still hugged Long Chen without any shyness on her face.
, but it is a matter of course.
"You...picked it up?" Long Chen was stunned. His last memory was of the rock leopard, and he had never seen this girl.
Seeing the confusion on Long Chen's face, the girl let go of Long Chen and said: "That day when you fought with the monster, I shot the monster with one arrow at the last moment. To be honest, I saved your life, and you will be mine from now on.
I am a man, your task from now on is to follow me to hunt and have babies."
Looking at the serious expression on the girl's face, Long Chen's expression was strange. Hunting? Also giving birth to a baby?
Seeing that Long Chen still looked puzzled, the girl explained to Long Chen what happened that day.
It turns out that the girl is a hunter in a village. The whole village relies on hunting for a living. Except for going to distant mountains to purchase some necessary iron tools, they basically live a self-sufficient life.
There are hundreds of people in the village, and basically all of them are good hunters. Even some children often run outside the village to set up traps and catch small wild animals.
There are no real strong people in their village, most of them are in the Qi Gathering Realm. According to the girl, their ancestors fled here to avoid the war, and gradually adapted to the life here.
It's been hundreds of years now.
The main food in the village is meat. They make a living by hunting and gathering, but their targets are basically wild animals.
As for the huge monsters, they need to be extremely cautious. If they want to deal with the powerful monsters, they have to mobilize the whole village.
This time I discovered that a rock leopard had just arrived nearby. After some discussion and the approval of the village chief, I decided to deal with this rock leopard.
Although the risk of dealing with Warcraft is high, the rewards are also very high. The exchange for a first-order Warcraft crystal core is enough for their entire village to live for half a year.
In order to deal with this rock leopard, they prepared for more than a month, refined enough poison, applied it to their weapons, secretly set up several traps nearby, and prepared numerous ambush.
But just when they decided to take action today to lure the rock leopard out, they were stunned to see a young man walking into the rock leopard's territory.
The girl hid in the dark and was in a hurry. She didn't dare to remind Long Chen, otherwise if the rock leopard was alerted, their entire plan might fail.
The consequences of failure are very serious, which means that someone will have to sacrifice their lives, so all of them can only watch Long Chen being ambushed.
Originally, they were full of guilt about this incident, and they just hoped that they would lead Yanbao into a trap and avenge Long Chen.
But in the next scene, everyone was shocked. Long Chen's sword almost killed the extremely ferocious rock leopard.
Later, they discovered that Long Chen was originally injured. Even though the long sword was out of hand, he still knocked the rock leopard away several times with his bare hands, which filled them with horror.
Finally, when Long Chen couldn't hold on anymore, the girl finally couldn't bear it anymore and shot out an arrow, killing the rock leopard.
But when the girl said that she killed the Flame Leopard with one arrow and saved Long Chen, her big eyes kept looking at the roof, her face a little unnatural.
It turned out that the girl's archery skills were not very good, and she even missed her accuracy when she was in a hurry. However, this was a mistake. The arrow that was originally aimed at the mouth of the rock leopard ended up hitting the rock leopard's forehead.
It happened that Long Chen slashed his sword at that place, cracking its skull. The girl's arrow happened to pour into the rock leopard's head from the crack, killing it with one blow.
Afterwards, when everyone rushed forward and saw the arrow, they couldn't help but gasped. If it weren't for luck, they would have been in trouble when faced with a furious monster.
Injured monsters are the most terrifying. They will fall into a kind of madness and attack desperately due to fear.
"Thank you"
Only then did Long Chen understand what was going on, and he respectfully raised his fist towards the girl.
"You will be my man from now on. You don't need to be so polite to me." The girl smiled, hugged Long Chen's arm and said affectionately:
"I used to pray to the God of the Forest every day, hoping that he would give me a strong man to hunt and have babies with me. Hehe, the God of the Forest finally heard my voice and gave you to me. It's really great.
"
The girl looked intoxicated. Looking at Long Chen's handsome face, her eyes were full of excitement and satisfaction.
"Ahem, girl..."
"Call me Xiaohua"
"Well... little flower girl, this man is not a man. Let's study it later. Can you tell me how the injuries on my body healed?" Long Chen asked.
Because Long Chen discovered that his body had miraculously recovered. According to Xiao Hua, today was the third day after he was rescued.
In just three days, he didn't take a single pill. Not only did his injuries heal, but all the cracked meridians in his body also recovered, which surprised him.
"This is what the forest god helped you recover," Xiaohua replied.
"God of the forest?" Long Chen was shocked. Is there really a god in this world?
"Okay, okay, don't ask so many questions, it's time to eat."
Seeing that Long Chen wanted to ask, Xiaohua interrupted Long Chen, took off the big pot on the stove, and moved it outside.
When Long Chen saw this, he was embarrassed to sit and pretend to be wounded, so he hurried over to help. He found that the big pot was filled with gruel.
When the porridge was carried out of the wooden house, Long Chen noticed that this was a small village built on the mountain.
It is surrounded by a fence made of thick thorns. The fence is more than three feet high. Those thorns are very poisonous plants. Generally, wild animals will stay away when they see these things.
Within the fence, there were dozens of simple wooden houses. As Xiaohua called, everyone walked out of the wooden houses, including a dozen children and five or six elderly people.
However, most of them are in their prime. Long Chen knows that those who make a living by hunting and cannot keep up with their physical strength are the most dangerous in hunting. If they are negligent, they will die.
Therefore, most of the people in the village are young and middle-aged. This is also the law of elimination of nature. Life is so ruthless.
A energetic old man walked up to Long Chen, nodded and said: "Well done, you can fight the monsters alone."
Long Chen sensed it and discovered that this old man turned out to be a strong man in the blood coagulation realm, but he was only in the early stage of blood coagulation.
If Long Chen guessed correctly, this old man should have entered the Blood Coagulation Realm very late. His energy and blood had already declined. Even if he entered the Blood Coagulation Realm, his combat power would not increase significantly.
"Senior, that's a compliment," Long Chen said with a slight salute.
"Senior, I don't dare to be like this. Even if I am in my prime, I can't compare with you." The old man looked at Long Chen, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Grandpa, don't be polite, hurry up and have some porridge."
Xiaohua had already divided the porridge, giving each person a bowl. She brought it over two nights ago and handed it to Long Chen and the old man respectively.
"Let me introduce you. This is my grandfather, who is also the mayor of our village. Oh, by the way, I don't know your name yet," Xiaohua suddenly asked.
"Thank you, my name is Long Chen." Long Chen smiled and took the bowl of porridge.
At this time, all the men, women, and children in the village came over and greeted Long Chen. Long Chen quickly put down his bowl and returned the greetings one by one.
After all, they saved his life, and he needed to keep this love in his heart. These people were very simple and knew nothing about etiquette, but the closeness in their eyes said everything.
Long Chen did some calculations and found that among the more than 100 people in the village, there were only about thirty women, the only girl was Xiaohua, and the rest were just a bunch of snot-nosed kids.
"Brother, I heard that you are very powerful and can knock away a leopard as big as an ox with one punch. Is it true?"
A child who was only a little taller than Long Chen's knees hugged Long Chen's thigh and looked at Long Chen with admiration.
"Of course it's true. My father said that this eldest brother is a real warrior. He and Sister Ahua, and the remaining children in the future, must be the most powerful warriors in our village." Long Chen didn't know how to answer yet.
When, a boy of seven or eight years old rushed to say.
But after the seven or eight-year-old child finished speaking, he said to Long Chen eagerly: "Brother, when will you give birth to the strongest warrior in our village?"
Long Chen's face froze, and the men, women, and children around him burst into laughter. Even Xiao Hua covered her mouth and kept laughing, which made Long Chen feel very embarrassed.
He hurriedly picked up the porridge and took a few sips, then changed the subject and said, "Didn't you kill that monster? Why don't you eat its meat?"
As soon as Long Chen finished saying this, he noticed that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange. He looked at the old man and saw that the old man was about to speak.
