It's just that this deer-shaped monster is now walking upright on its two hind hooves, and its two front hooves are holding a huge basket hanging on its shoulders.
This basket was stuffed with a lot of fresh grass juice and mushrooms collected on the shore.
On top of this frame were placed two large jars of clear spring water as weights to hold down the food in the basket.
Maybe it was because I was in a good mood at this end of the road, or maybe I saw the smoke of birds rising from the villages in the distance.
This deer also sang a wild and wild nursery rhyme with its unique deer call.
The sound of this nursery rhyme spread far away, and his relatives in the village heard his singing.
There may be his friends or lovers in the village, who also responded to the singing at this time.
For a time, the distant villages were filled with the sound of harmonious singing, and many small beasts were passed by in the distance, but the forest was filled with the breath of life.
So the creatures here are not purely human like Maifan and others.
Hundreds of years ago, perhaps they had just transformed from beasts into a human-like state.
While still carrying the various habits of wild beasts, I came into contact with people from other areas.
It's no wonder that at that time, no one from other areas was willing to have deep friendships with the monsters here.
But now looking at the evolutionary form of this deer and the size of the villages they gather in, it seems that their group should have made significant progress over the past few hundred years.
But Mai Fan still didn't plan to enter the village to communicate. They still planned to take a look around to see the situation.
Because they always feel that they have to believe in the words of their elders, that is, people who are not my race must have different hearts.
These are a community of things that obviously don't look like humans. If you break in rashly, you don't know what will happen. So they carefully observed the terrain, and based on the guide in the diary map, they found a relatively high cliff on the other side of the village, climbed over there, and at the top of a cliff-like mouth, they stood condescendingly.
Looking down at this already large-scale beast gathering area.
When they went around from the back and climbed to the top of the rock to look down, they had to sigh that the living style here was indeed different from those of human camps.
First of all, because they are some kind of intelligent creatures that evolved from deer, their house structure and concept of shelter from wind and rain are all based on the freedom of movement in the form of deer.
What's more, there aren't many creatures in this village that can take on human form.
According to Mai Fan's careful observation, only the young and strong Qingzhuang sect can easily transform into human form and work and live in human form.
As for the slightly older deer in the village, or the fawns that are still young, they basically live in the original form.
And their bodies are not the long-haired deer they saw when passing by.
This densely gathered herd of deer is a creature similar to reindeer.
They have thick limbs, huge horns, and a strange blue pattern on their bodies.
These roads gathered together to cultivate a strange lawn behind the village.
The adult reindeer are responsible for hunting and bringing back clean water.
The deer they were tracking was an adult reindeer.
The water he carries back will be placed in front of a water tank at the entrance of the village.
At his house, after the two heavy belts were put down, two reindeer that looked much older than him came over, opened the bag he had brought back, picked it up, and then dumped the water bag on the
In the sink.
The gurgling spring water collects along the water tank into a circular drinking fountain in the central square.
After the living water was formed, several young reindeer who had been thirsty for a long time came over and started drinking.
This is another way for them to protect their young ones after forming a stronghold.
Since the mountain spring is a drinking area for a public group, if a creature that is too young passes by, it will easily be targeted by others and become the prey of several large groups.
Only those who have the strength to protect themselves dare to fetch water from that place.
Among this reindeer group, only adults can be responsible for this work.
As for the older reindeer, they stayed behind the camp to take care of the forage in the fields.
In addition to fetching water, this adult reindeer will not run in vain. Along the way, he will collect some medicinal herbs that are beneficial to the sick deer in the village or the deer herd.
With the return of this reindeer, several stronger young reindeer returned to the subsequent villages one after another.
This time, they had something bloody in their hands that was not part of the diet of herbivores.
Mai Fan and the others squinted their eyes and saw them gathering together these prey that were not meant for eating.
There was a trembling old priest who could still maintain his human form and cut up these blood-eating prey.
These reindeer must be very strong.
Mai Fan even saw some human-like creatures among the creatures they preyed on.
Now, they are placed here like dead dogs and are left to be disposed of by this aging reindeer.
This reindeer seems to have the highest status in the entire group.
He was very skillful in separating the fur and flesh of these creatures, and the fur was taken away by some female reindeer next to him, kneaded and made into armor or clothing for his own tribe in the cold winter.
The old and the weak are protected from the cold.
And the priest did not waste those flesh and blood.
He asked a strong assistant at his side to pound it into a paste and place it in a strange cauldron-like vessel.
The fresh herbs that were collected were stuffed into this cauldron of flesh and blood one after another.
As time went by, it boiled into a pot of black-green medicinal soup with a strange smell.
The medicinal soup was pushed into a square container behind the tent. Several muscular adult reindeer were already standing behind the square container, waiting for the big pot to come out of the pot.
When the old priest pushed the pot into the square vessel, these sturdy young men who originally stood on two hooves instantly transformed into prototypes.
They eagerly competed for the small amount of herbal soup in the long stone trough.
The strongest fighting force in the village is strengthening and strengthening itself through eating.
Mai Fan watched and saw that after one of the strongest deers had eaten almost half of the food, the horns on his head that were as big as millstones protruded forward nearly a palm's length.
