"Ur, you're back!" When Muria walked into the tree house, his mother Hida, who was preparing dinner for him, shouted Muria's name with a smile!
"Yeah!" Muria nodded.
"Come and get ready for dinner! Your father hunted a patterned tree python today! You can eat as much as you want today!"
"Abba, are you injured?" Muria's eyes looked at the male Ikon who was sitting aside and nursing the long bow in his hand. This was his father Batu, a standard adult Ikon with a cheerful personality.
, likes hunting, but is not fond of killing!
"It's just a small tree python. With the help of my partner, how could it possibly hurt me?" Batu waved his hand nonchalantly when he heard his son's question.
"That's good!" Muria looked at his mother. Xida was holding a bone dagger to deal with the python. It was a large snake with a body length of nearly ten meters, but seven inches of it were covered by
It was torn apart. If nothing else, it was done by his father's Blue Creek Beast companion.
"Come and eat! Today's meat is all you need." Hida invited Muria to sit at the dining table. It was a stone with a faint golden light. This was a dining table exclusive to Muria.
Then, pieces of fresh, thinly sliced snake meat were placed on the stone in front of Muria. The sound of sizzling meat was heard, and the aroma of meat wafted.
"Coronastone!" This is what the Ikon people call this stone, which is similar to a small electric oven. Muria knows, "There is no need for flames anymore!"
This is a rather magical stone. It can store heat radiated from the sun during the day. At night, or when needed, the heat stored in the coronastone can be released in a specific way.
In front of you is an application of corona stone, which is to heat raw and cold meat. This stone is also one of the sources that hinders the development of the civilization of the Ikon people. This is not to say that this stone is bad, but for the Ikon people, the corona stone
Stone is so convenient that it can directly replace fire.
The first primitive creatures controlled fire, one was to drive away wild beasts, and the other was to heat food and reduce the possibility of illness. These two functions of fire were quite useless to the Ikon people.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about driving away wild beasts. There are no powerful monsters that would invade the Yikong people's tribe. And ordinary monsters simply do not dare to approach the Yikong people's tribe.
In terms of heating food, in terms of safety performance, coronal stones that can release heat through special methods are much better than uncontrollable flames. You don't need to think about it at all.
"This world favors the Yikong people so much!" Muria sighed for some time. It is almost impossible to obtain this magical stone. Even a kid like him from the Yikong people can just go out and get it.
You can pick it up just by walking around.
The real trouble is that most of these stones are irregular and require some polishing and carving to turn them into the shape you want. However, compared to its convenience, this is not a problem at all.
There are many problems with the civilization of the Ikon people, and they are also very serious, but this is the conclusion reached by Muria from a neutral perspective. From the perspective of the Ikon people, there is no doubt that their civilization has no problems.
, because they don’t need to worry about any material troubles, just maintaining the status quo is fine.
"Forget it, I can't care about that much now, let's fill up my stomach first!" Muria, who was thinking about how to lead the Ikon civilization that was born in peace, was overwhelmed by the hunger in his belly.
Pulled back to reality.
Everything he talks about now is empty. Let him fill his stomach first. Only when he is full can he have the strength to do other things. He is a doer, not a dreamer.
Thinking of this, Muria picked up his homemade chopsticks, picked up the browned snake meat that had been roasted on the corona stone dining table, and put it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it.
How does it taste? Muria's evaluation is that it is edible. That's all. After all, with the current level of civilization of the Ikon people, they can't play too many tricks. The most they can do is pick some seasoning plants and apply them on them.
On grilled meat.
Batu, who noticed that his child started eating, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. Unlike other members of his own race, he went out hunting on average every two days, and his hunting frequency was much higher than that of his own race.
The reason is that his son likes to eat meat very much, and his appetite is so big that he needs to spend half of his leisure time hunting.
And Batu doesn't have much complaints about this. It's a good thing that his son can eat, and it's not that he can't afford to raise him. In addition, his son is inherently special than the average Ikon people, and Ur is very strong when he is born.
, and his level of development far exceeds that of Ikon people of the same age.
In this situation, Batu is naturally very happy. Every qualified father hopes that his children can achieve achievements beyond their own. This is the meaning of inheritance, each generation is stronger than the previous generation.
"Eat slowly, this snake is huge, it's enough for your meal!" Seeing Muria gobbling up the food, Hida was holding a bone knife and skillfully cutting the snake meat and said with a smile.
"Yeah!" After hearing his mother's words, Muria nodded and slowed down a little. In fact, he could eat faster because of the blood energy movement that he had tinkered with when he was bored before he was born.
The law gave him a very good foundation.
This is not the reason why Muria's food intake is so terrifying. The real reason is because Muria has tailored a set of breathing methods for herself to temper her body according to the rules of this world and strengthen her body.
At this stage, with his ability, the only way to obtain nutrition for his body is through eating, which is why Muria's food intake is so terrifying, exceeding the daily needs of a normal adult Yikong.
belch
When the sun completely set, Muria's home was completely enveloped in the fluorescent light emitted by the trees supporting the tree house. Muria also sat on the dining table and burped very comfortably.
After hearing Muria burping, his parents Batu and Hida quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why Batu breathed a sigh of relief was because if Muria was not full, it meant that he
The prey he brought back this time was not enough. Next time, he would need to hunt bigger beasts. The reason why Xida breathed a sigh of relief was because he was tired.
"Are you full today? Ur!"
"I'm full!" Muria smiled with a smile on his face and rubbed his belly. Under the influence of his breathing method tailored for his body, the snake meat he had just eaten was quickly decomposed.
into nutrients and transported to all parts of the body.
Of course, compared to when he just ate, the decomposition speed is much slower now. After all, although his breathing method is exquisite, his body also has its limits.
"If you're full, you can go and have a rest. Of course, you can also go out and play with your friends if you want!"
"No, I'm going to bed!" Muria picked up a soft leaf, wiped the oil on his mouth, and prepared to leave the tree house. From beginning to end, his parents didn't eat, and Muria didn't eat either.
Without asking, he was already used to this.
Because his parents had already eaten before he came back, and it was a unique feature of their family not to eat with their son. There was no way, Muria was too good at eating, so she sat with him
If they ate together, his parents would most likely starve, so they ate separately.
"Oh, by the way, Abba! Will you encounter any life-threatening danger when you are hunting outside?" Muria, who was just about to leave the tree house, suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.
"Life-threatening danger?" Batu raised his head and looked at his son with some confusion, "Of course not."
"No? But the great elder told me that there are many powerful monsters in the wild, such as horned armored beasts, night sabers, bloodthirsty ants..." Muria said in one breath the names of more than ten monsters that the great elder told her.
, "The great elder said that these can cause life-threatening danger to adult Yikong people. Is the great elder lying to me? There are simply no such creatures in the wild."
"Of course the Great Elder didn't lie to you. I have indeed seen these monsters you mentioned in the wild." Batu touched his black hair, "They do have the power to threaten our lives, but as long as we don't provoke them
They, these monsters will not pay attention to us."
"I won't pay attention to you, won't you attack if you see it?"
"Yes, as long as you don't attack them, they won't attack you!"
"This..." Muria moved her lips and wanted to say something, but couldn't. What is this?
"Ur, do you have any more questions?" Xida looked at her son and asked with a smile.
"I want to know why there are no powerful... creatures like Mei Sha to occupy our tribe. Our tribe is obviously so special!" Muria asked doubtfully.
"Hahaha, Ur, the reason why there are no legendary monsters like Mei Sha coming to invade our tribe is because we have the protection of the sacred tree!"
"Sacred tree! What is the sacred tree?" Muria's eyes lit up, and he got a new piece of information.
"You will know this later. Don't ask any more questions now. Go to bed!" Unfortunately, his parents had no intention of explaining it to him. Their words were full of respect for the sacred tree.
"Okay!" Seeing his parents who didn't want to talk, Muria nodded helplessly, and then walked out of the tree house. He didn't live with his parents at night, he had his own tree house.
