As the sun rose above the horizon, several cheerful and childish voices came from outside Muria's hut.
"Alas!" Muria sat up from his tree bed, stretched, and then adjusted his animal skin clothes, "Wait a minute, I'll get up right away!"
"Why are you coming to me again?" Muria was a little troubled. There were many Ikon children of the same age in the tribe, but Muria really had no choice but to deliberately act childish and play with them.
Therefore, towards most of his peers, he showed an extremely cold attitude. Over time, these children basically stopped playing with him. Even if they called him by name, most of them were ceremonial.
"Ur, I heard that you are going to conquer Meisha and become the king of Ayare Forest!"
As soon as Muria walked out of his tree house, he saw an Ikon girl asking him with a smile.
"That's right!" After hearing the girl's words, Muria nodded, feeling a little helpless at the time. After just one night, his first target was spread to the entire tribe.
There is no need to say much about who the leaker is. After all, he only discussed this matter with the great elder. But now, judging from the fact that the girl in front of him came to ask him about the situation, it should be known to everyone.
"It turns out it's true. I thought it was a joke!" After hearing Muria's personal admission, the girl who came over to ask him early in the morning suddenly showed a look of admiration on her face, "Ur, you are really nice.
Amazing!"
"Hey, what's so great about this? Who can't tell lies? I can do it too!" After hearing the words of the girl playing with him, a boy immediately said unconvinced.
"Geze, don't talk nonsense! As long as we can ride the Blue River Beast, don't say stupid things like conquering Meisha!"
"Then you should tell Ur, don't tell me!" The Yikong boy named Geze curled his lips, "He was the one who said the big words first!"
"This is not a big lie. When I decide to ride on Meisha, it will definitely become a reality in the future!" Muria said this sentence with almost no expression on his face. A group of young Yikong people almost
They can all hear the strong confidence contained in Muria's words.
"Ur, why do you say such things?" Immediately, a young man stepped forward to question Muria with some dissatisfaction.
Muria walked to the group of children and looked at them condescendingly. Although they were about the same age, Muria was a head taller than them. "Please make way, I'm going to have breakfast."
!”
Muria's body was full of oppression for them. They obediently made way to the vine bridge, and Muria just ignored them and left directly.
"This guy!" The Yikong boy who just questioned Muria clenched his fists unwillingly. When he looked at him in Muria's eyes, his body trembled involuntarily, and then he just didn't know what to do.
Feeling let go.
"It's amazing!" But these men are different. They have words for Muria's actions just now. These little girls are full of admiration. Even in this comfortable atmosphere, the Yikong people still worship the strong.
of.
…
Muria came to her parents' tree house, and at this point, they had already gotten up and were preparing breakfast for Muria alone with some freshly picked fruits from the tree.
"Ur, here we come! Come and have a meal!" Her mother, Hida, greeted Muria to have dinner. For Muria, she always had a gentle smile on her face.
"Ur, I heard that you want to conquer Mei Sha and become your partner?" Batu, who was adjusting his bow and arrow, saw Muria and asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Muria picked up a bright red berry and swallowed it in one bite. The nutritional value of these fruits is not low. If the quantity is large enough, it can also meet his needs for a meal.
"You are worthy of being my son with ambition!" Batu laughed when he heard his son admit it. For his father, regardless of whether his son has such ability in the future, having such ambition is a good thing in itself.
Something worth being happy about.
"What ambition!" Compared to his happy father, his mother Xida's face gradually lost her smile, "What's so good about conquering Meisha? Isn't it bad to grow up so peacefully and then ride on a Blue Creek beast?
?”
"Xida, if you ride on Meisha, you can become the king of the Ayare Forest!" Seeing his wife who looked a little unhappy, Batu replied with a smile. Compared with Muria, who has no common sense, the adult Yikong
People are very aware of this tradition.
"Then, what will happen if you become a king?" Xida immediately asked.
"This..." Batu suddenly obeyed. He couldn't imagine what kind of benefits a king who rides on Meisha would have.
"Even if he is a king, he lives in the same tree house, has the same food, and wears the same clothes as us!" Xida answered her own question, "In that case, why risk losing your life to conquer Meisha? This is completely
It’s not worth it.”
"Wang, the house we live in, the food we eat, and the clothes we wear will all be better than ours now! They can't be the same as us!" Batu racked his brains, trying to refute his wife.
"It's good enough now, so there's no need to risk your life to conquer Mei Sha and become the king!" Xida warned, staring at Muria who was having breakfast.
"Amu, I want to be a king, not for the pursuit of better enjoyment. A king means great rights and equal responsibilities. When a king enjoys the worship of his subjects, he also has the responsibility to make his subjects
Life gets better!”
Muria raised her head, looked at her parents, and corrected their understanding of the king.
"But now the Yikong people of every tribe in the Ayare Forest are living very well. We Yikong people don't need a better life. We don't need a king riding a Meisha!" Xida gave it again!
Muria's first target struck hard.
"..." Muria did not respond to his mother's words, but used her teeth to chew up a fruit core in his mouth, and swallowed the fruit pulp together into her stomach.
He couldn't communicate with his mother. Should he tell her about the void? Tell her about the threats from outside the void? Tell him that in the eyes of the void forces, their world is a big piece of fat? It could happen at any time.
Possibly hacked?
What nonsense! In the eyes of his mother, the Ayale Forest is the whole world. She doesn't care, and she doesn't want to know what is outside the Ayale Forest. She only cares about her husband and her son.
…
When Muria finished breakfast, Batu, who had prepared hunting equipment, followed him out of the tree house, put his hand on his shoulder, and encouraged him.
"Ur, don't pay attention to your mother's words. Just do whatever you want to do! I support you! But before you are really sure, it's best not to provoke Meisha!"
"Yeah, I know." Muria, who was thinking about what to do after eating, nodded. This world is indeed too comfortable.
"Then I'll leave first. It's time to go out and prepare lunch for you!" Batu patted Muria's shoulder and prepared to take the first step. He has a son with an astonishing appetite, so he needs to work harder.
.
"Abba, wait!" Looking at her father in hunting attire, Muria's eyes lit up and she called him.
"What's up?"
"Take me out hunting with you!" Muria suggested. He felt it was time for him to go out for a walk.
"Huh?" After Batu heard Muria's words, he was slightly stunned. Then he looked at Muria's height, which just reached his chest, and shook his head firmly, "No!"
"Why not? My strength, speed, and endurance are already better than yours... no, the same as yours." Muria quickly changed his words mid-sentence to save some face for his father in this body.
.
"Like me?" Batu laughed after hearing Muria's words.
"If you don't believe it, we can compete. If I beat you, you can take me out hunting!" Muria said confidently.
"Okay!" Faced with his son's challenge, Batu accepted it readily. However, he also had a doubt in his heart. After all, his son usually ate too much.
"What are you thinking about? No matter how much he eats, he will only be so big. No matter how strong he is, how strong can he be?" Batu quickly shook his head and erased the doubts in his mind.
"Let's go arm wrestling!" Muria proposed the simplest and most direct way.
...half a quarter of an hour later
Mulia calmly looked at her father opposite, whose neck was swollen and his blood vessels were bulging, and asked helplessly: "Do you want to do it again?"
"Come again!" Batu yelled like a gambler. He really couldn't accept the fact.
"Okay!" Muria let go of his palm, and then he pressed her firmly on the stone table. Antu, who couldn't move at all, was finally able to lift his arm.
Then, under the attention of the scattered Yikong people around, the palms of the father and son were held together again, and then, "pop!" Without any suspense, the father's palm was once again firmly grasped by his son.
It's pressed on a stone platform.
"Can you take me out hunting? Abba!" Muria looked at her father opposite and asked.
"You..." Under the gaze of his fellow tribesmen around him, Batu's face turned red, "Let go first."
"Oh!" Muria released his palm. It's not that he doesn't want to give his father face, but that he has indeed reached a place where he needs to show his uniqueness.
"Hunting is not just about strength, it also requires skill. There are many powerful monsters, but we Yikong people can easily kill them with the bows and arrows in our hands."
Although his son surpassed him in strength, Batu still subconsciously did not want to go out with Muria.
"I know!" Muria nodded, "I can use a bow and arrow!"
"You..." Batu, who was about to reject Muria because he didn't know how to use a bow and arrow, was stunned for a moment. Then he put on a straight face and showed the majesty of his father, trying to save the face he had just lost.
"If you can, you can, but if you can't, you can't. You have never practiced, how can you possibly use a bow and arrow?"
"Words are always pale, I am used to proving myself with facts!" Muria stretched out her hand towards her father, "Abba, lend me your bow!"
"You kid..." Under the attention of the surrounding tribesmen, Batu took off his long bow and quiver of arrows and handed them to Muria.
"You can just point at a target!" Muria drew her bow and nocked an arrow, bending the bow like a full moon, and then, click!
