Like the iron tower, the massive primitive tribal chief came over.
When he stood in front of Ye Xi, the sense of oppression like a mountain suddenly came to his face.
He looked up and down at Ye Xi and said in a deep voice, "you said you found a kind of edible plant? If you cheat me, you can't bear the consequences. "
The tone is very calm, but ye Xi has already smelled the cruelty under this sentence.
The primitive tribes are short of food. Every year, many people die of hunger in any tribe.
Because this is a primitive jungle with giant insects, dinosaurs and fierce beasts, competing with these terrible creatures for food Think of Ye Xi's scalp tingling.
The hunting risk is high, and the harvest is not fixed, so the plant has become one of the important rations of the tribe. At present, the known edible plants are explored by countless tribesmen at the risk of poisoning. Every plant found is very precious.
So we can imagine why even the chief came to ask questions when he heard Ye Xi say so.
Ye Xi nodded and affirmed: "when I was eight years old, my father amum died. I lived on the fruit of that plant."
Ye Xi lied. The reason why his body could live so big was that his relatives pitied him and helped him occasionally.
But he has to say that now in order to enhance his credibility, and he has to say it without being guilty.
"How far is that place from the tribe?"
"About three or four miles."
When the chief heard this, he immediately turned to the stone axe strong man on one side and said, "horn, put him down."
The strong man named Jiao carried Ye Xi down from the pillar.
The lack of water and food made Ye Xi a little unstable, but years of habit still made him stand straight: "thank you, chief."
The chief ignored him, turned to point to Ye Xi and yelled to the men around the bonfire: "this slave claims to have found new food!"
Everyone was quiet for a moment, and they all looked over.
These tribesmen, especially the men around the bonfire, have the momentum and eyes like fierce beasts. When they are staring at their prey like fierce beasts, ye Xi's hair is erect all over his body.
The chief yelled at the crowd: "cone! Bin pan
The two named tribesmen immediately stood up and said, "yes! Chief
"The two of you will go with this boy tomorrow. If he lies, he will be roasted alive!"
All the tribesmen stood up, thumped their chests and shook their arms, and exclaimed excitedly, "roast alive! Live roast! Live roast...! "
Looking at the scene in front of him, ye Xi felt cold.
……
The sun was setting and the sky was darkening.
Before nightfall, all the tribesmen cleaned up the food scraps and traces on the square and walked into the cave.
This is a very hidden and large cave. Half of the cave is hidden underground. All the Tushan tribesmen enter the cave to rest at night.
Cave wall is gray black rock, feel very hard, the ground is black soil, and the cave outside the dry soil, more humid.
Although the entrance of the cave is small enough for only one person to pass through, the space inside is extremely large. The cave top gets higher and higher as it goes inside. In the sight of Ye Xi, the top of the cave even reaches the height of two floors.
Ye Xi stood at the entrance of the cave. Looking inside from where he stood now, he could not see the depth of the dark cave.
I don't know how long it will take to dig such a big cave.
The tribesmen work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Once the sun sets, all the tribesmen are required to enter the cave. After the evening, they are all shut out and never open again.
All the people of the tribe seemed to have their own specific sleeping area and went straight to their own territory. Ye Xi stood there and did not know where he was arranged.
"Hey, can you tell me where I sleep?" Seeing that no one came to explain to him, ye Xi had no choice but to hold on to a man.
This person looked at Ye Xi coldly: "you sleep here." He left without waiting for ye Xi to speak.
Here? Ye Xi looked back, only two steps away from the cave.
It was almost dark. Taking advantage of the faint light coming in from the outside, ye Xi saw that the primitive people in the cave began to lay animal skins or hay on the ground, and then lay down and cover their bodies with a layer of animal skins.
Ye Xi was standing near the entrance of the cave. No one gave him animal skin or hay. All of them slept on their own and ignored him completely.
It seems that no one will pay attention to him. Ye Xi smiles bitterly.
Five massive primitive men with red totem on their chest pushed a huge rock to the hole and blocked it firmly. The gap around was filled with branches and weeds for ventilation.
As soon as the rock is blocked, the cave is dark, and only a very weak light passes through the cracks in the rock.
Without getting anything, ye Xi had to lie directly on the earth. He had only a straw skirt on his body, which meant that his skin was in direct contact with the soil.Ye Xi closed his eyes and tried to make himself fall asleep as soon as possible.
He told himself that if he wants to enter such a dangerous prehistoric jungle tomorrow, he must have a rest at night to fully nourish himself.
But the stomach was so hungry that it seemed like a fire was burning, and the throat was almost cut by a knife for lack of water.
…… Sleep, sleep will not be hungry or thirsty, ye Xi comfort himself.
The skin that comes into contact with the soil suddenly itches.
Ye Xi reached out his hand and quickly grasped it. A bug was struggling in his palm. He felt it as big as a nail cover. He couldn't see what it was in the dark.
Crush it. Throw it away.
Exhaling, ye Xi tried to get himself to sleep again.
The temperature difference between day and night is very big, and ye Xi gradually feels cold. There should be other vents in this cave. There is a cold wind blowing from the back, which makes it more cool.
In the dark, he watched the glimmer of light through the cracks in the rock, hugged his arm and curled up to reduce heat loss.
All of a sudden, a piece of hide was thrown from him.
Ye Xi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, touching the hide of his body and looking around.
It's too dark in the cave to see who threw it.
"Thank you?" Ye Xi said tentatively.
A cold voice sounded not far away: "I'm afraid you'll freeze to death."
And then the tribe lost a kind of food? Ye Xi knew it and stopped talking.
Ye Xi spread out the hide, which was not big enough to cover his stomach.
This animal skin is very rough to feel. It has not been well tanned. The leather is hard, and there is a smell of fishy smell. It has pimples on it. Maybe there are some meat crumbs that have not been cleaned up.
If in today's society, ye Xi may not touch it, but now it is too precious for him.
Gradually, the consciousness of sleeping on my stomach gradually became warm, and then I felt sleepy.
The night deepened.
"Sand, sand..." A faint, faint sound was heard outside the rock.
…… The light through the cracks is gone.
Dense black and red wrists and feet extend from the gap between the rocks, crawling slowly like worms.
The footprints of this unknown creature cover the whole schist and stone crevice. How big the creature should be? It's hard to think about it.
Ye Xi, who was sleeping deeply, had no idea that such a terrible creature was so close to him, only separated by a rock.
