Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 75 Jumping Fruit Trees
The liquid in the gourd is cool and comfortable to drink. It seems to disperse even running tiredness. The mind is much clearer. The feeling of comfort makes the bones shake.
“What do you say? Feeling all right?” Aso came and threw Shao Xuan a piece of fruit, "this is also good. ”
Shao Xuan didn't know what the plants here could eat or couldn't eat, so he never made a move. When he left the water collection point, he noticed that Aso several people circled beside him and seemed to have gone to pick fruit.
“These are good things!” Aso said, "It's not a big story. After we ate these, we got better, and there was a saying in the advance team. ”
Keep your voice down, Assault continues: "Only those who have joined the advance team can become senior totem fighters. Every senior fighter in the tribe has stayed in the advance team. ”
Most plants here are over a hundred years old, some fruits and vegetable juices have some effect on the human body, and warriors can perceive the benefits of these things they eat even if they can't say how they feel.
“Can't you bring some back to the tribe?” Shao Xuan asked.
“It's not that easy!” Assault suffered a face, "I'd like to take some back to my brother and sister, but I can't. ”
It's not that the advance team of successive big bosses have not tried, but they can't use the chiller, or dig up even a piece of dirt, etc., as soon as they get out of here, after a day or two, what they take out rots and deteriorates. Sun-dried? It's not everything.
“Until now, there are very few that can be taken out, and there are some of them in the tasks that the witch sends down, but some of them are not easy to find, and you have to look at the time, flowers, fruits, if you miss it, you have to wait another year, some plants, even if you wait for it for the rest of your life, you don't necessarily have to wait any longer, you have to look for another one. ”
Shao Xuan was silent.
It seems that some of the things here are centuries old or have to be centuries old to be effective, and more plants, leaving the land, die instantly and cannot survive elsewhere. So the method of planting may have been thought of a long time ago, but not necessarily effective, so that by now the tribe can only come to this place, which is both dangerous and treasured.
The honor of the advance team is to serve the tribe, the medicines used by the tribe for illness, the injuries used by the witch healers, etc., are all sought back here by the advance team, and no one can deny their contribution.
In addition to this honor, joining the advance team can taste many medicinal plants that cannot be removed and can greatly benefit the development and advancement of the fighters themselves.
So, some people who have joined the advance team and later quit because of injury, illness or old age will tell their grandchildren to work hard to improve and to be able to join the advance team. They know that these people will be stronger in the future and that they are one of the most promising elites in the entire tribe.
However, the rule now laid down in the tribe is that the advance team is set by the big boss. Generally speaking, the witch will not ask, and only exceptions like Shao Xuan will the witch pay attention.
Most of the time, the big boss chooses someone with good relationships who knows each other well enough to pull in. They are also strong supporters of the big leaders' struggle for leadership.
And who else wants to quit after the chosen person comes in and feels the benefit?
Nobody wants to.
One more person may be kicked out, even if the hunting team is a big leader, the rules set by the ancestors are bound, the advance team must not exceed one fifth of the number of hunting team members, it is probably the leaders of that generation who have been taught a lesson before the joint chiefs and witches set this rule.
With this in mind, Shao Xuan knew why some people in the advance team looked at him so delicately at the beginning. It was not only to look down on Shao Xuan's strength, but also to be prepared.
Shao Xuan noticed that most of the people here lived in the mountains and very few at the waist of the mountain.
Mike, isn't someone as powerful as them eligible to join the advance team? Naturally there is, except that the big boss doesn't speak, and Mike can't go in.
Absolute fairness could not exist. Even Shao Xuan happened to have borrowed the light of his ancestors. It happened that the results of the tower's leadership had been poor before he was pulled in. If not for ancestral reasons, as a child out of the hole, plus Shao Xuan and Old Ke learn to trap the rope, the tower will not be visible. Unless Shao Xuan is truly stunned in the future, he will also be excluded from the advance team of the tower.
The better the better, the worse, the mountain and mountain development, probably far beyond what the ancestors had originally thought. While people down the hill are wondering how to get more food, some people on the hill may be wondering how to get more benefits.
In the absence of threats from other tribes, civil strife is positive and exclusion is inevitable, although not apparent on the surface.
After a few sips of the water removed from the plant, Shao Xuan looked around. It's taller here, and you can see a strangely shaped plant in the distance.
“What's that?” Shao Xuan pointed over there and asked Aso.
Aso glanced over there and smiled. "That's the head tree, every tree grew after eating a man's head! ”
Shao Xuan didn't make a sound, he wasn't scared, he just looked over there. No wonder it's called a human head tree. It does look like personal hair. There is also a long “hair” that drifts with the wind. As for eating human hair or something, Shao Xuan doesn't believe it.
Shao Xuan was not frightened, Aso was bored, but continued: “Unfortunately, at this time, no flowers have blossomed. When the human head tree blossomed, a flower of this size ~ grows on it, it's beautiful! ”
Shao Xuan: “…"
According to Aso, Shao Xuan imagined it for a moment, but still couldn't imagine how nice a head full of giant flowers would look.
“The jumping fruit tree is about to grow in front of you. Just stand back and stay away from it.” Aso said.
“I know.” That's self-evident.
After a short break, the tower signals that the unit's men are heading towards the location where the jumping fruit tree is located.
Moving forward, the trees are thinner, less dense, and you don't have to stand high to see the view ahead.
Aso said that the jumping fruit tree seemed somewhat like an enlarged sapling willow, except that each of the dripping branches was filled with round fruits, each as the size of a fist.
Seeing that everyone breathes lightly, Shao Xuan also decreases his presence. If you think about it, the tree is very sensitive to sound.
The tower raised its finger and dotted Shao Xuan. He opened his palm and pressed him again, indicating that Shao Xuan would stay here later and hide behind the trunk.
Shao Xuan nodded, indicating that he knew. However, he felt like something bad was going to happen, I wanted to say, but the other team members were waiting for the tower's instructions, and the tower ignored him at all.
After looking around, the tower waved, 20 people lightning rushed over from the bush towards that side, toes gently swung over the ground, and the quick run made little noise, forming a siege on the jumping fruit tree.
However, as he approached the jumping fruit tree, Shao Xuan heard the tower suddenly yell: “Get out! ”
Others did not hesitate to withdraw decisively and swiftly because of the sound of the tower, even though someone had approached the tree. And the fruit on that tree, which was sturdy enough to grow on the branches, because of the sound of the tower, some of the fruit was shocked, quickly disengaged from the branches, and the arrows generally shot around and ran away.
Shao Xuan did not know what had happened. He saw the tower retreating with haste. The next moment, Shao Xuan was carried.
The pedestrian was in a hurry and seemed to be hiding from something. When Shao Xuan was raised, he looked back and found something in the sky floating with the wind.
The wind is getting stronger and the distance from Shao Xuan and others is much shorter with those things.
Shao Xuan was taken to a tall plant, a group of five warriors, pulling the thick blades on both sides to form a narrow enclosed space. When they pull the leaves, Shao Xuan can also hear the clicks of thick wooden slabs folded.
At the last moment of blade pulling, Shao Xuan glimpsed what was blown over by the wind. Like dandelions, with soft, fuzzy “white hair," just those grey hairs, one or two palms each.
It's dense and numb, in the sky and in the woods, everywhere, and in the distance there are pounding voices.
After all the gaps are closed, there is not much light outside to penetrate the thick blades, it is dark inside and the field of view is not clear.
There is also tension in the enclosed space. Shao Xuan can hear the people next to him breathing in a hurry. He wants to take a lot of physical effort to escape just now.
Not just the others, Shao Xuan also felt the danger, his eyelids jumped and he couldn't help but lean back a little bit.
I was thinking that Shao Xuan suddenly heard a pounding sound around him, and with these sounds, a white plush pierced the thick blade like a thorn, one of which was only half * * away from Shao Xuan's eyes.
