On the shore of the lake, the smell of blood is overwhelming.
"I just want to save it, but I don't have any tools?"
Sun Mo's clever wife can't make a meal without rice.
The brown bear's bones were not broken, but there were many wounds from the bites. They needed to be stopped and sutured, but Sun Mo didn't even have a stitch or thread.
"I know the teacher can definitely do it!"
Lu Zhiruo blindly worships Sun Mo.
"Then let me try!"
Sun Mo put his hands on the brown bear's wound.
Without the spiritual energy, the effect of the ancient massage was greatly reduced. Not to mention that the magic lamp ghost could no longer scream. Even to stop the bleeding, Sun Mo had to keep pressing on the blood vessels.
All in all it's better than nothing.
"Go nearby and look for dragon's blood grass, green thorns, and, by the way, if you encounter straw mushrooms, pick some too."
Sun Mo ordered: "Never run too far!"
"Um!"
Lu Zhiruo immediately obeyed.
…
Sun Mo was busy until dusk, applying pressure to stop the bleeding, applying herbs, feeding and watering the bear, and finally had some free time.
It was too late to find a camping spot now, so we could only spend one night by the lake.
Although the brown bear is about to die, it is still a ferocious beast and its deterrence is still there, so we should be safe until the white tiger comes to drink water tomorrow.
"Eat some!"
Sun Mo threw a roasted pheasant to the brown bear.
The brown bear sniffed it, but because it was too close, it burned its nose, causing it to roar immediately.
"I'll help you!"
Lu Zhiruo came over, helped the brown bear tear apart its muscles, and fed it to its mouth.
"Zhiruo, can you communicate with it?"
Sun Mo was curious.
He knows how to control animals, but without aura, this skill will have no magical effect.
"Well, I generally know what to say!"
Papaya Girl nodded, which surprised Sun Mo.
Being in the wilderness and surrounded by dangers, Sun Mo didn't have the time to chat and told Lu Zhiruo to take a rest as he would have to change someone to keep watch in the middle of the night.
When it was just getting light, Sun Mo was awakened by a dull roar.
"what happened?"
Sun Mo raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and could see some birds flying up from the hills and into the sky after being frightened.
The brown bear also raised his head and looked around, showing a solemn expression.
Sun Mo heated the leftover roast chicken on the campfire from last night, dug out a few bird eggs from the ashes, and shared them with Lu Zhiruo.
Afterwards, he changed the brown bear's dressing and left two pheasants with it.
"Brown Bear, we have done our best to be kind and righteous. Whether you can survive depends on your physical condition."
Sun Mo packed up his things and was ready to hit the road. He would not waste time on a brown bear.
"It should survive."
Lu Zhiruo was very happy. The brown bear was in good physical condition and the wounds had scabbed over.
Ouch!
The brown bear was no longer hostile, but raised a paw toward the northwest.
"What's the meaning?"
Sun Mo smiled: "You want me to go there?"
The brown bear couldn't understand Sun Mo's words, but Lu Zhiruo was there to translate.
"It says there's a village with people over there."
Translated by Lu Zhiruo.
"Thanks."
Sun Mo set out, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart. In this stone age where supplies were scarce, the people living there should be savages, and he was just food to them.
Furthermore, even if they are not eaten, whether they speak the same language and can communicate is still a question.
After walking for more than an hour, the two saw a dilapidated village, all of which were round stone houses, many of which had collapsed.
"nobody!"
Lu Zhiruo was very disappointed. It looked like this village had been uninhabited for many years, but Sun Mo was still very careful and sneaked into the village quietly.
The village is very large, more than a thousand meters from east to west. There are no corpses or traces of fighting. The stone houses have all collapsed after being in disrepair for a long time.
Sun Mo circled around and found an altar in the north.
The altar was very simple, just eight large pillars engraved with a mysterious pattern, buried in the soil in a certain arrangement, three of which were broken.
Sun Mo approached the totem pole and carefully examined the patterns on it, trying to see if he could decipher something.
Unfortunately, I have no clue.
"Let's go!"
An hour later, Sun Mo was ready to escape.
"Teacher, would you like to search more carefully? The mother bear said there are good things here!"
Lu Zhiruo's eyes were very bright: "Maybe there will be treasure buried!"
"Even if there is a treasure, can a bear know about it?"
Sun Mo rolled his eyes. If there was something good, it could only be this altar, but it wouldn't be a waste of time to search around.
Generally speaking, rich people and people with high status in the village live in larger houses, so Sun Mo chose the largest stone house and walked in.
There was nothing in the stone house that was half the size of a basketball court. Sun Mo was not in a hurry and poked the ground with his throwing gun.
"Yes, what if there is a cellar?"
Lu Zhiruo realized it later and started poking.
Five minutes later, the two people moved to the second largest room, but unfortunately, they still found nothing.
"Let's go!"
Sun Mo was impatient.
"I believe Mama Bear won't lie to me."
Lu Zhiruo didn't believe in evil and plunged into the stone house next to her.
Sun Mo looked at the sky, feeling so worried that he wanted to pull all his hair out.
What are the conditions for customs clearance?
Sun Mo doesn't smoke, but at this moment, he really wanted to take one to relieve his worries.
"Teacher, come quickly!"
Papaya Girl's cry interrupted Sun Mo's train of thought.
Whoosh!
Sun Mo ran into the stone house and saw a hole in the ground.
"Teacher, there is indeed a cellar!"
Papaya girl is very excited.
"..."
Sun Mo was convinced. He was worthy of being a mascot. No one could match his luck.
He lit a torch and threw it into the cellar.
"So small!"
Lu Zhiruo used the light to see that the cellar was not big and felt a little disappointed. Even if there were treasures, they could not store much.
"You wait here!"
Sun Mo gave instructions and jumped down.
On the left side of the cellar, there were a dozen animal skin bags half as tall as a man. Some of them were torn, and some kind of rice that Sun Mo couldn't name flowed out.
Sun Mo immediately opened the two bags and took a look.
Rice is old grain, and it has been a few years old, so the taste will definitely not be good, but at this time, it is good to be full.
"One bag weighs fifty kilograms, sixteen bags in total. Excluding the rotten ones, it should produce more than 500 kilograms of rice. Two people can eat it for a year."
Sun Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
In these days, food is life, at least you don’t have to worry about starving to death if you can’t catch prey.
Next to the grain is a pile of animal skin packages. The hemp ropes binding them are weathered and can be easily broken without using any force.
In the package are weapons.
"Teacher, what is there?"
Lu Zhiruo was curious.
"Come down and take a look!"
Sun Mo started to unpack the package, and finally found the feeling he had when unpacking the express delivery.
"Wow, stone knife!"
Lu Zhiruo jumped down and screamed happily when she saw the three-foot-long stone knife in Sun Mo's hand.
The stone knives were polished by the most skilled stonemason in this tribe. Because they were coated with animal fat and well preserved, they now look very sharp.
Of course, even if this thing is no longer sharp, just polish it with a whetstone. After all, the most precious thing about a stone knife is the choice of stone.
If it hadn't been for this windfall, Sun Mo would have been without weapons for at least three years.
"Cool!"
Sun Mo took a stone knife and slashed it twice, and found that it was very comfortable.
"There are thirty knives in total, and a dozen knives."
Lu Zhiruo counted the trophies and smiled happily.
In addition to large knives and small knives, there were also bows and arrows, but the tendon bowstring was almost rotten. Instead, there was a bag of arrow clusters, at least more than three hundred, which made Sun Mo Mei bubbling.
If you put some poison on this thing, it will be very lethal.
What remained were five hand axes, two stone hammers, some spear heads, and ten slings, but the ropes were all rotten.
"Big money!"
Sun Mo happily hung the stone knife on his belt. Not to mention so many weapons, even with only one stone knife, he could laugh happily.
“Drink porridge tonight!”
Sun Mo immediately decided to use this place as a stronghold. Just as he was about to re-wrap his weapons, a dog barking reached his ears.
"Wild dog?"
Sun Mo looked happy. Just when he was about to ask Lu Zhiruo if he could catch him as a hunting dog, a whistle sounded, which made his expression change.
Savage?
Yes, they are not wild dogs, they are domesticated.
"You wait here!"
After giving the instructions in a low voice, Sun Mo climbed out of the cellar, hid at the door of the stone house, and looked outside.
A young man wearing animal skins was walking towards the north of the tribe.
"Are you going to that altar?"
Sun Mo observed.
The young man carried a bow and two quivers on his back, a stone knife hung on each side of his waist, and an animal skin scabbard on his left and right calves with daggers inserted in them.
He also carried a basket with some herbs and a roe deer carcass in it.
Because the young man came here often and knew that no one had been to this abandoned tribe for a long time, he was completely unwary and even hummed a tune.
He finally sat by the altar, holding a branch and copying the pattern on the totem pole on the ground.
Sun Mo didn't dare to get close until half an hour later, the hound got bored and ran away to play alone.
"Chance!"
Sun Mo held a bow and arrow and lurked over.
The young man was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice anyone approaching.
Sun Mo originally wanted to shoot one of the savage's legs first, but now it was easier. He didn't react until the stone knife was placed on the young man's neck.
"Don't move, or I'll kill you!"
Sun Mo growled.
Unfortunately, there is a language barrier.
The young man jumped up and grabbed the stone knife with his left hand to prevent his neck from being cut off. He punched Sun Mo's lower abdomen with his other hand.
If you do this, your left hand will become useless, but the young man has nothing to fear.
"Nima!"
Sun Mo cursed and twisted his body to avoid the savage young man's fist, and at the same time punched him hard on the head.
boom!
The savage took a hit and was a little confused, but he held on and shook his fist at Sun Mo.
Bang! Bang!
Sun Mo was hit twice on the stomach and felt like his intestines were about to be broken.
"I should have shot his leg first."
Sun Mo regretted it, but now was not the time to show mercy. He flipped his wrist and the stone knife avoided the savage's right hand and cut him on the shoulder.
Whoosh!
The animal's clothing was torn, the skin was torn, and blood flowed freely.
The savage didn't even blink, but he was injured and his movements were deformed. Sun Mo took the opportunity and slashed him with two more swords.
Swish! Swish!
Seeing that the savage was invincible, he tried to run away, but Sun Mo slashed him on the neck with the back of a knife, causing him to faint.
Woof! Woof!
The wild dog heard the noise and ran back.
Sun Mo bent his bow and set an arrow.
call out!
An arrow shot out, nailed the hound on the chest, and knocked it to the ground.
…
When Hui Shi woke up, his head felt dizzy and he subconsciously wanted to rub it, but found that he was tied up.
"woke up?"
Sun Mo pouted.
Woof! Woof!
The hound barked and bared its teeth at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo picked up a stone and threw it at it.
boom!
"Scream again and I'll roast you tonight!"
Sun Mo scolded.
If Lu Zhiruo hadn't interceded, Sun Mo would have killed the dog long ago.
"Who are you? This is the hunting area of our Gray Rock Clan, any trespassers will die."
Gray Stone roared.
"Teacher, what did he say?"
Lu Zhiruo didn't understand.
Sun Mo pinched his eyebrows and sighed, no wonder those people before could not pass this game. Damn, the NPCs speak the ancient Kyushu language. Not many people know this thing.
"You are my prisoner now. If you don't want to be eaten, just answer me honestly!"
Sun Mo threatened in ancient language.
The savage young man obviously didn't understand his situation and even shouted at Sun Mo. He had no choice but to use torture.
Sun Mo picked up a wooden stick and hit the savage hard on his head and face.
"Now, can you talk to me properly?"
Sun Mo squatted next to the savage and poked his face with a wooden stick.
"I will not betray the tribe."
Savages are very brave.
"good!"
Sun Mo smiled: "Then do you like to eat it roasted or stewed? First of all, I don't like eating sashimi. Oh, I don't know what sashimi is? It means cutting off the meat piece by piece and then eating it with sauce.
.”
The savage's expression didn't change at all.
Because after being captured by the Red Rock Tribe, they basically end up being eaten.
"Okay, I'll eat your dog first."
Sun Mohehe
"Don't eat my dog!"
The savage yelled.
"Ha ha!"
Sun Mo was delighted. Are all savages so thoughtless?
Now that the weak spot has been caught, the subsequent interrogation will be much simpler.
This young man belongs to the Gray Rock Tribe and is the master of this lake and the surrounding area for dozens of miles.
This tribe is not big, with five to six hundred people. They make a living by hunting, and usually operate in teams of at least ten people.
"Then what are you doing here alone?"
Sun Mo asked: "Is there anything weird about that altar?"
The young man didn't want to say it.
"Then you will only wrong your dog."
Sun Mo snorted coldly.
Under threat, the young man reluctantly told Sun Mo.
It turned out that this abandoned tribe was the predecessor of the Gray Rock Tribe. The prophet said that a great disaster was coming and that they must migrate, otherwise there would be a risk of annihilation.
Some believed and followed the prophet, while others did not believe and stayed.
"The prophet is very powerful and his witchcraft is very powerful."
When the prophet was mentioned, the young man's face was full of admiration: "It is said that the secret of witchcraft is on the tribal totem. I want to learn it."
