Chapter 4 Food

In the desert, the sound of fighting gradually died down.

The victor raised his arms and cheered, and the defeated was unwilling to retreat.

In the sky, the dragon eagle hovered, rolling up a gust of air. Siculus' turban was scratched in the battle. His handsome and resolute face was stained with a trace of blood, and his dark brown eyes stared at the enemy below like a falcon.

"Moody Pullan, you're in luck this time!"

"Siculus, you have said this sentence six times."

The deep voice, with a "helpless" tone, was enough to make Siculus on the dragon eagle fly into a rage.Fortunately, the anger didn't destroy his sanity. He raised his left arm, and the dragon eagle let out a sharp cry.

"Back to the city!"

Looking at the dragon eagle that was gradually going away, Moody patted the black lizard with a mouth full of flesh and blood, nostrils snorting, and still immersed in "excitement", "It's a pity. Next time, I will definitely let you taste the taste of dragon eagle meat."

"Roar!"

With a huge black head, blood-red eyes, and sharp teeth, anyone could see it as a terrifying beast, but at this moment it behaved like a puppy wagging its tail at its owner.

The blood and corpses on the battlefield attracted more and more scavenging birds, and a black mass hovered in the air.

The knights of Pulan who were accustomed to fighting and death were not touched by the tragic scene. They jumped off the horned camel, stepped on the blood-stained sand, and took one or two belongings from each dead knight, most of whom were fighting. The long knife used in.

If you die in battle, your flesh and blood will return to the earth, and your soul will be favored by the gods. The long knife symbolizes your bravery and loyalty during your lifetime, which is enough to carry the thoughts of your loved ones and continue the glory of your family.

The losses of the Taiya people were even more severe. There were only two of the more than 20 camels left. The people who participated in the battle were either killed or injured, and none of the slaves survived.

Standing among the bloody limbs, Danda closed her eyes, raised her hands flat, palms facing the sky, the language unique to witches, flowing from her delicate red lips, gentle and holy, this is a ritual of witches.

All the living Taiya people knelt down on one knee, and the knights who had been blunt to Danda before also became solemn. Only Modi, who was sitting on the back of the black lizard, looked more and more indifferent.

The ceremony was very short. Danda opened her eyes, pulled up the scarf on her shoulders, and looked up at Modi, "My lord, the gods are merciful, and the souls of the brave will rest in peace."

"Oh." Moody's tone was a little careless, and he caressed the scales on the back of the black lizard with his palm. "Mistress of Taiya, I have something to clarify."

"Yes."

"How did Siculus know that I'm here?"

"Lord City Lord?"

"The western part of the desert, the territory of scavenging birds, a recognized barren land." Moody spoke slowly, as if born with elegance, "Can you tell me?"

Before the words fell, the Taiya people were horrified to find that they were surrounded by the knights of Pulan City.

There was still wet blood on the bright long knife.

"My lord, there is no doubt about the loyalty of the Taiya people to you." Danda looked very calm, "I don't know why the army of Bitiya city appeared here, and it has nothing to do with the Taiya people. Just now, they fought bravely for you!"

"Oh."

Moody was noncommittal, but the black lizard suddenly lowered its head, its blood-red eyes seemed to be staring at its prey, its blood-stained mouth, and its stench made Danda want to vomit.

"Witches can't lie." Danda wrapped a cloth scarf around her cheeks to block the breath that made her sick, and barely restrained the fear in her heart, "Please believe me, I really came here to find the sacrifices for the gods. products, in order to pray for the arrival of rain.”

"Sacrifice?" Moody tilted his head, "Do you think this is credible?"

Danda suddenly understood that no matter what she said, Moody would not believe it.Indeed, it was too coincidental that Modi, who was supposed to be patrolling the outskirts of the city, entered the desert west on a temporary basis, but the enemy army appeared at this time.

The only possibility is that there are Siculus' spies by Modi's side, who can definitely know Modi's whereabouts.

Danda couldn't figure out how to send the news, unless the other party was also a witch like herself.

This may also be the reason for Moody's suspicion.

In the end, Danda and the rest of the Taiya clan were brought back to Pulan City. Regardless of whether it was a conspiracy or not, Modi would not kill Danda easily, but it was necessary to send news to the Taiya patriarch.

Ambitious witches, suppressed patriarchs, and open and secret struggles that have lasted for several years, the Taiya tribe may need a new witch.

On the way back to the city, sitting on the back of the black lizard, Moody thought of the "sacrifice" rolling in the sand. He was too embarrassed to see what he looked like. Could it be part of a conspiracy?Or is it a coincidence?

Turning his gaze to the priestess on the camel, from Danda's attitude, it was obvious that he was hiding something...

He Ning woke up with the roar of his stomach.

Looking at the starry sky, I rubbed my arms, the damn weather, it's so hot during the day that it can roast people, but at night it's so cold that it makes people shiver.

Turned over, it's rare that he didn't sleep on a tree, and there is a large vegetarian lizard beside him, is it a good thing?With such a size, the nearby carnivores will not easily provoke it, and with a mouthful of fangs, it is absolutely life-threatening to bite it down.

He Ning leaned on the green lizard's stomach, wondering why Brother Lizard trusted him so much, and he was not afraid that he would kill it and eat it while it was asleep?

Just as he was thinking, the green lizard stretched out its claws and scratched its head, and there was a numbing sound, like a sharp knife cutting through the iron sheet.Looking at the green lizard's claws and comparing it with the knife in his hand, He Ning fell silent.

If you don't eat meat, stay hungry.

Going to bed hungry is 100% torture.

I learned from the green lizard before, and tried to gnaw on the bark, treating it as a supplement of plant fiber. I don’t want my teeth to pass through, regardless of whether it is difficult to eat, a piece of bark can’t be pulled off at all.

Brother Lizard hugged the tree trunk, gnawing on it while watching He Ning wrestle with a piece of bark the size of a palm.

Take two bites, take a look, take a look, and take two more bites.

In the end, he threw the bark that He Ning had no choice but to put down into his mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.

The only consolation is that He Ning made more and more water droplets, and the water sac rescued from the green lizard's mouth can be filled in about three times.It's just that if you follow this person by your side, you can't keep any more.

After careful consideration, He Ning chooses to partner with Green Lizard.

What happened not long ago made him no longer eager to return to "civilized" society.He Ning couldn't convince himself to risk his life. Sometimes, people are more dangerous and terrifying than animals.Moreover, it is still hard to say whether the human beings in this period are really "civilized".Judging from the situation he encountered, the possibility of a negative answer is more likely.

He managed to live up to now, and he didn't die in the mouth of wild beasts, but was snapped off by the same kind. Was he wronged?

Since they cannot return to human society, they can only find ways to continue to survive in the desert.

As long as the "welfare" of being struck by lightning does not disappear, he will not worry about being thirsty to death. The only thing to do is to ensure that he will not starve to death, and then find a way to find a foothold where he can live for a long time.

The tree house is a good choice, but it's a pity that he is not majoring in architecture and has no tools at hand.

Either find a natural cave, you can't dig it yourself, right?

With a wry smile, do you really want to live a primitive life, or be a Robinson Crusoe in another world?

He Ning sat up and looked at the sleeping green lizard, but his partner was a little bigger...

The next day, when the green lizard woke up, He Ning had already taken a lot of water, took a sip, and sent most of it into Brother Lizard's big mouth.

Looking at the location of Tianyang, he tightened the coat wrapped around his head. He had to find something to eat today, even if it was tree bark, he had to stuff it into his stomach.

The green lizard eats a lot. He Ning found that it not only eats bark, but also grass and fruits, which are all in its diet.

Due to limited conditions, in the depths of the desert, only the bark can satisfy its hunger.

A man and a lizard trek together in the desert, forming a unique landscape.The scavenging birds and goshawks flying across the sky would occasionally lower their heads, watching these two elusive creatures walking together with puzzlement and doubt in their eyes.

From early morning to noon, the green lizard managed to find a piece of log, but He Ning could only support it with "will".

Finally found a piece of weathered rock, He Ning immediately hid in the gap between the rock and the ground.The place is big enough, even the green lizard can barely get in if you squeeze it.

The temperature is getting higher and higher, and He Ning almost sticks out his tongue like a canine animal to cool down.He was so hungry that he felt dizzy before his eyes and his stomach hurt. Even if there was a whole pig in front of him, he could swallow it all.

"Is it possible that you are really going to starve to death?"

While muttering to himself, he found that there seemed to be something in the crevice of the rock, rubbed his eyes, yes, there was something, and it was still a living thing!

He Ning regained his energy, raised the knife and stabbed it in, it was a snake!

At this moment, He Ning didn't have the time to think about whether he was a poisonous snake or whether he would be bitten. Anything that could move and run represented only one thing in his eyes, food!

Of course, except for the green lizard.

The one in the rock crevice sensed the danger, and instead of raising his head to protest, he hid inside again.

The fruit knife is not long enough, and the tip of the knife cannot be touched. Facing the food that can be seen but cannot be touched, He Ning's eyes are red, and he directly started to use it under the trend of hunger. His nails covered with dust are extremely sharp, and he even grabbed a piece of rock .

He Ning is a bit silly, looking at his "claws", the adrenaline hormone soars, does it still have this effect?

Seeing that the "food" was about to run away, he didn't care about so much. As soon as the "claw" went down, he directly dug a large rock, and grabbed the snake brother inside. The head was round and non-toxic.

Under the action of force and force, a snake was torn into two pieces.Half of the snake's body was in He Ning's hands, and half of it fell to the ground. Before He Ning could pick it up, it was pulled into the mouth by the green lizard, chew it and swallow it.

He Ning: "Aren't you a vegetarian?"

Green Lizard: "..."

He Ning: "An omnivore?"

Green Lizard: "..."

He Ning: "Needless to say, I understand."

After saying that, he took two steps back holding the half of the prey to ensure that it would not be snatched by the green lizard. He walked out of the rock to find branches, lit a fire, and grilled meat to fill his stomach first.
