Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 5 The Lost Civilization

Gray Eagle nodded: "It's really good luck. The baboon pounced. It can be said that it hit the two knives by itself, and they just hit the vitals."

Fei Jian frowned, somewhat puzzled.These two stabs couldn't be more precise. Yao's hunting knife is not long enough, even a long knife can't penetrate the baboon's thick chest and pierce the heart.

There is a depression on the baboon's breastbone, where the skeleton is the thinnest, barely able to allow the knife point to pierce the heart, but only a little bit.This can be said to be the most hidden weakness of the baboon, and only the most seasoned hunters will know it.

And not only this knife, but also the knife stabbed at the red hair in the neck is very particular.It seems that two vital points were stabbed at the same time, which instantly made the baboon incapacitated.

Even Feijian didn't know about the weakness of the neck.Naturally, it's useless for him to know now. The baboon moves like the wind and is powerful. If you encounter it, you will die in nine out of ten cases. It takes a very small probability to hit the vital point?

Gray Eagle said: "Don't be dazed, it's rare to have a chance to kill a baboon, hurry up and do it!"

Feijian also came to his senses, pulled out the hunting knife, and dismembered the prey together with Gray Eagle.

A ferocious beast like the baboon monster is full of treasures all over its body. With this hunt, the entire camp can live a good life.And they will be safe for the time being, with the breath of the baboon, ordinary beasts will not approach here.

Yao's physical exertion was too great, and his hands and feet were still weak. Instead of picking up the prey, he sat down beside Huang Quan, rested, and looked at him, thinking in his heart: "It's really just luck?"

Huang Quan sat quietly, his face as still as water, completely indifferent to the girl's gaze.

But he was calm on the surface, in fact, he was repeatedly comparing the baboon demon with a little monkey in his heart.

During the empire period, that little monkey was a very common species on the mother planet. It ate fruits and miscellaneous grains. It was less than half a meter long and was timid and timid. It was called a baboon.

The baboons are inconspicuous and not very lethal, but they are extremely adaptable, their movements are like electricity, and they are extremely sensitive to danger. Therefore, when the imperial army goes to strange star fields, they often bring a group of trained baboons , used as a natural sentinel.

Gradually, this species followed the expansion of the empire, and gradually spread across various star fields.

The size of the baboon is much larger than that of the baboon, and the difference in weight is hundreds of times, and the defense strength of the fur is even more incomparable.But if you ignore the size, from the appearance, except for the red hair around the neck, the baboon and the baboon are almost identical.What's more, they have exactly the same vitals.

Is there really any connection between the baboon here and the baboon in the empire?
Huang Quan looked at the extraordinarily tall grass blades and unbelievably huge ancient trees around him, thinking deeply.

It took only half a day for Gray Eagle and Feijian to start harvesting their prey.

What Huang Quan couldn't understand was that Gray Eagle chopped off the baboon's entire head and carried it on his shoulder.The baboon monster's head is big and heavy, so it can't carry anything else with such a big guy on its back.

Judging from the costumes of the three people, it is likely that the tribal group they belonged to is still in a semi-primitive and semi-artisanal state.Judging by this, the most important things for the survival of the entire community are safety and food.

The meat and blood of the baboon should be a good source of nutrition, but Gray Eagle and Feijian didn't take much.

Most of the gray eagle's weight-bearing capacity is used to carry the baboon's head, while the flying arrow collects the heart, liver, and even some organs such as lung lobes. Only a few pieces of torso meat are cut, and half Just a hind leg.

From Huang Quan's point of view, the heart is an ordinary muscle, not much better than breast meat and leg meat.And the livers of many xenobiotics are often highly poisonous, even if they are not poisonous, there is no need to take that risk.

The same goes for the other organs, they don't see any use at all, but Fei Jian has worked so hard to take them away.On the contrary, it was a very useful animal skin, and both of them ignored it.

Most of the baboon's body was still intact, Gray Eagle's eyes were full of pity.He glanced at Yao, saw the girl helping Huang Quan up, so he didn't say anything.The current harvest is due to Huang Quan's lucky strike, so even Gray Eagle is not easy to attack.

When the prey was collected, the girl also fully recovered, which made Huang Quan look at her again.

This level of recovery ability is quite outstanding, and it is also one of the most valued qualities of the Dragon Rider Battalion.When hunting in the wild, the recovery ability often determines the life and death of both parties.

Gray Eagle and Feijian led the way first, while Yao carried Huang Quan on his back and followed behind them.

This time, Huang Quan did not refuse, and grabbed the girl tightly, letting himself cling to her body, and adjusted his posture slightly.In this way, the two are as one, which can save her a lot of energy during running.

The three trotted all the way, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.Because of the aura of the baboon, the journey went smoothly without encountering any harassment from wild animals.

After running for a while, the girl said: "Persist for a while, the camp is not far away. Are you okay?"

"It's okay, can you hold on?" Huang Quan asked back.

The girl was short of breath, sweat was rolling down her body, and her body was trembling a little.But her speed did not decrease at all, like a cheetah, running fast in the rainforest.Branches, tree trunks, vines, and even the stems of some giant grasses can become the objects of her strength.

Huang Quan felt every contraction and relaxation of her muscles, felt the flow of power inside, and there was a kind of primitive and wild sensitivity.

She was already quite tired, but she still said, "It's okay, we must run quickly during this journey, so as not to leave too much smell."

"Why don't you take the meat and skin, but just the head and the internal organs?"

"Our settlement has never killed a baboon. This head will be taken back to make a totem and kept forever. When those big settlements send people over in the future, let's see if they dare to look down on us. Hearts and livers are treasures for sacrifices. , especially the heart and liver of the baboon monster, which is a rare and precious thing. Use them as sacrifices, and the souls of the ancestors will definitely appear! We can get the inheritance and make the tribe stronger!"

The girl spoke excitedly, but she didn't notice the change in Huang Quan's face.

The word "sacrifice" not only disappeared in the empire era, but also dates back to the era of the Second Federation and the First Federation before the empire. It was also not included in the general dictionary. It only appeared in the classics of ancient culture. will not touch.

It is said that in the era of the home planet, when civilization has not yet fully civilized, and technology has not yet ruled people's hearts, there will be sacrifices.

In the vast star field, many races were encountered during the great expansion of the empire, and some of them still retained the tradition of sacrifice.But most of them are primitive races who have not yet fully civilized, and who are thousands of years away from leaving the star field.

Unexpectedly, after 1 years, there will be people who keep the tradition of offering sacrifices.From the girl's words, it can be seen that they worship their ancestors very much, and it seems that the ancestors will appear in a certain state to impart knowledge, so that their descendants will become stronger.

This is obviously beyond Huang Quan's common sense, and he doesn't understand, what kind of knowledge can't be passed on through the brain or old books, instead of through the obviously unreliable method of ancestor sacrifice?

The girl and the two hunters both spoke the Imperial language. Even though the grammar was a bit weird and the pronunciation of some words was different, it was undoubtedly the common language of the Empire.Can accept the influence of imperial culture, how can you live like this primitive tribe?

Full of doubts, Huang Quan leaned on the girl's back and followed the three of them along the way.He didn't ask any more questions. Conversing during the trip would consume the girl's energy unnecessarily, and he had a hunch that these doubts might not be cleared up in a few words.

After running for a few kilometers, the three of them stopped. The girl pointed ahead and said, "Look, that's our camp."
