Looking at the gloves that appeared in the virtual backpack, Jia Zhengjin sighed: "This habit is really hard to break. When I see a corpse, I can't help but touch it..."
The gloves are really bad, at least for Jia Zhengjin who is used to wearing artifact armor, they are just rubbish among rubbish.
He took out the snakeskin gloves from the virtual backpack, threw them to the ground with a look of disgust, turned around and came to the mouse, squatted down and shook its body vigorously.
The mouse's body was very stiff, as if it had been dead for a long time, and its heartbeat could hardly be felt.
Were you scared to death?
Jia Zhengjin frowned, stretched out his hand and slapped its mouth hard: "Hey! Wake up! Are you still alive?"
At first, the mouse didn't respond. After a while, it suddenly opened its eyes, then turned over and checked its body in a panic: "Am I dead? Am I dead?"
Jia Zhengjin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was still alive.
But it was also quite speechless.
"Kean? Where are we? Where are the hunters?" The mouse found that he was unharmed and turned around to ask anxiously.
"Here!" Jia Zhengjin pointed to the pile of ashes.
"What do you mean? These ashes..." The mouse looked confused.
"It belongs to the giant swamp snake, I burned it to ashes!" Jia Zhengjin shrugged and stood up.
"Swamp giant snake? Was it the hunter just now?" The mouse was stunned, its mouth opened wide, and its eyes kept moving between Jia Zhengjin and the ashes of the giant snake, "Burn into ashes? How did you do it?"
Facing the shocked mouse, Jia Zhengjin spread his hands and did not answer.
"Hey! What is this..." Seeing that he didn't answer, the mouse spotted the snakeskin gloves on the ground. He bent down to pick them up and looked at them curiously. Then he suddenly exclaimed, "Wow - not only did you
The hunter was killed, and its skin was used to make gloves? How amazing! Then... what about the meat of the hunter? Its size is enough to feed all of our family for more than a month!"
Facing the mouse's eager gaze, Jia Zhengjin pointed to the ashes on the ground.
"What's the meaning?"
"Can't you understand? It's all burned to ashes."
"Ah? Everything is burned to ashes. What do you mean?"
"Literally! All that's left is these gloves."
"Isn't it?!" The mouse immediately lay on the ground and wailed, "That's enough food for the whole family for more than a month! If I can take it back, I won't need to hunt until my younger brothers and sisters are born! Why is it burned?
Ash~ What a pity~"
"Stop howling!" Jia Zhengjin looked at a mouse crying in front of him, crying for a pile of giant snake meat, and was speechless. "I don't know who said just now to help me delay time and let me hurry up."
I ran. But I fainted the next second..."
The mouse's cry stopped suddenly, with tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, but he retorted seriously: "I didn't faint, it was the tribe's talent for self-preservation."
"What? Self-preservation talent?"
"That's right! That's the innate ability of our Moss tribe to "suspend death". When we encounter an overly powerful hunter, we will subconsciously enter the state, which is exactly the same as a corpse. Most hunters like fresh ones.
Food, so if you are not too unlucky, you can escape death." Mouse wiped his tears and replied, "I don't want to do this, but the hunter is too scary, and the body instinctively enters a state of suspended animation..."
"Forget it, it's not a threat to me anyway." Jia Zhengjin didn't care too much.
"But Keen, you can actually kill such a terrifying predator? You are indeed an alien!" The mouse showed an excited expression the next moment, "How did you do it? How did you do it? Can you teach me?
Me? If I had such powerful abilities, I wouldn’t have to worry about hunting!”
Those are the characteristics of gods, and it would be strange if they could be taught! Even if he could, Jia Zhengjin would rather give these characteristics away to others.
Facing the expectant mouse, he could only shake his head.
"Can't you tell me how to kill it?" The mouse said regretfully.
"It's not that I can't tell you, it's just that you can't use my method." Jia Zhengjin said calmly.
"Oh, is that so?" The mouse nodded immediately and played with the snakeskin gloves, "Okay! This glove..."
"Take it away if you want it," Jia Zhengjin replied casually, "I was planning to throw it away."
"Thank you!" After hearing this, the mouse excitedly put on the gloves and moved his paws, "It fits very well! And the front part is empty, so there is no obstacle to the paws. It can protect the paws without hindering the movement. I really gave it to me.
?”
Jia Zhengjin was too lazy to answer and nodded casually.
What he saw as rubbish was regarded as a treasure by the mouse, who looked particularly happy.
After a while, the mouse finally remembered the business: "By the way! Are the Cockroach Tribe and the Water Tribe still fighting?"
"The fight is over!" He turned around and looked at the video screen. Both the Cockroach Tribe and the Water Tribe on the lotus leaf were injured, and only a small number of their respective members left the battle.
The Cockroach Tribe spreads its wings and flies away, and the Aqua Tribe jumps back into the pond. It seems that each of them wants to find helpers to fight again next time?
However, the Nuwa was not discovered, so you can rest assured.
"They are all gone?" The mouse looked better. "In this case, we can go hunting! My father and mother are still at home, waiting for me to come home with dinner. Keen, if you don't mind, go to my house first? Go to the city.
It takes about seven days to go back and forth, and I have to prepare food before I can go out, otherwise my parents will starve to death."
"Well!" Jia Zhengjin needs this mouse to lead the way and find himself a "city dweller" who is more familiar with the world. "How long will it take?"
"What?" The mouse turned back in confusion.
"I said, how long does it take to store food for seven days?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
The mouse thought for a moment: "What I can catch now is probably small prey such as golden butterfly larvae. And I have to avoid their group and wait for the lone larvae. If I successfully capture a larvae, it may be enough for a dinner at home."
Solve it. So it will take at least ten days to put it all together. The premise is that the weather is good and the luck is good..."
"It's too troublesome!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head and said, "You said that giant swamp snake just now can feed the whole family for more than a month?"
"That's right!" When the mouse heard this, he showed a pity expression again.
"Then go catch another one!" Jia Zhengjin said casually.
"Ah?" Mouse's face suddenly changed, "I, I, it's impossible for me... I'm not that powerful..."
"I didn't tell you!" Jia Zhengjin certainly had no expectations for a rat that was scared to death...oh, no! It was a mouse that pretended to be dead after seeing a giant snake. "I am responsible for arresting and preparing for your family for a month."
The food. You are responsible for taking me to the city!"
"No, no, no~" The mouse shook his head hurriedly, "You have to do things like hunting by yourself. If I rely on you this time, I will have the same mentality next time. This is not a good thing for me! Moreover, then
It’s our own food, we can’t let others get it for me!”
"You're quite principled?" Jia Zhengjin looked at the mouse for a few seconds and thought for a moment, "Do you have to hunt it yourself?"
"Yes!" The mouse nodded vigorously. (To be continued)
