Age of Behemoths

You can't blame the animals for observing Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun so much. It should be said that in this big family, each party is observing the other.This is also an expression of longing for closeness and understanding. After all, their "languages" are different, and their races are even more far apart. Understand but still don't understand.It's just that this kind of ignorance between them will no longer be transformed into vigilance and defense, but curiosity and desire for understanding.

Qin Jixun and Shen Yifei are naturally the ones who have been observed the most, but sometimes this kind of observation is difficult for two humans to perceive, because it is the simplest communication in their daily life, but some Sometimes, like now, it feels like the two of them are acting like monkeys...

But this also reminded the two people, don't show your affection here, let's get down to business.

According to the detection of Qin Jixun's super radar nose, the unknown creatures in ambush in front should be in ambush above the canyon.The two looked at the rock wall of the canyon. With their current abilities, they could climb up.But apart from the two of them, that is, the little man who is not very useful in the frontal battlefield can climb up.

The rest of the mammoth mother was simply ignored. After all, although it was big, it was not big enough to step up a cliff of this height like a staircase.Teddy's body is trembling when he walks, and mountain climbing is even more inappropriate.Neither Sheila nor the wolves are rock climbing material.

The only thing that could climb up with them was probably the crispy noodles, but its size was obviously not suitable for frontal battles.

The two humans carried their respective weapons, calmed down the animals, and climbed up the rock wall.

At this point, the mountains in front have blocked the strong wind, but some snowflakes occasionally drift over, but the wind is almost gone.But the small canyon below is still easy to walk. After climbing up the rock wall, the stone wall with an angle of more than [-] degrees is more difficult to walk than when climbing.

The two human beings were afraid of being heard by the ambushing beasts, so neither of them spoke, but facing this "road", both of them had doubts in their hearts-then what kind of beasts can survive in such a terrain? ambush?

They didn't think about this problem when they climbed up from the bottom of the rock wall. After all, it might be that there is a smoother way to go up in the direction the other party came from.But looking at the terrain in front of them is almost the same situation, the two people are even more confused.Humans standing on two feet reduce the area required for walking, and there is also a pair of hands that can help the body maintain balance, but even so, it is difficult for the two of them to walk on it.

Then it is conceivable that it is difficult for a beast with four limbs to stay on it. Even a beast with two feet on the ground, like the dove feather dragon, it is difficult to persist on it for a long time.In particular, Qin Jixun also knew that an unknown beast ran very close to them, and left after investigating.

How does a beast that has reached a certain size come and go freely on it?

The two of them became more and more curious about those beasts that Qin Jixun thought were "a bit strange" that they hadn't met yet.

Finally, they were almost there, and there happened to be a protruding rock in the terrain ahead, blocking the sight of the two of them.But the place is too narrow, and only one person can walk to see it.Naturally, Qin Jixun who was in front made a gesture, and Shen Yifei stood still on the spot. Qin Jixun carefully lay down on the rock, and quickly poked his head out to look over there.

As a result, Shen Yifei saw Qin Jixun retracting his head at a faster speed, and turned to look at him—that kind of eyes, obviously frightened eyes.It was the first time for Shen Yifei to see such a dark color on his face, and his curiosity about unknown creatures was replaced by vigilance. Both of them have seen the big world, especially the big one Qin Jixun saw. There were even more scenes than Shen Yifei's.How dangerous is it that scared Qin Jixun so suddenly?

Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Jixun quickly poked his head out to look again. This time, after retracting his head, he gave Shen Yifei a gesture.That means you come and see, and I will stand by your side.

Shen Yifei nodded and exchanged places with him.Lie on Qin Jixun's original position, Shen Yifei poked his head out very quickly, between the gray rocks and a small amount of white snow, a moving figure suddenly broke into Shen Yifei's sight .

He retracted his head, and then looked at Qin Jixun - he was sure that his eyes now were exactly the same as Qin Jixun's eyes when he looked at him just now!

And Qin Jixun looked at Shen Yifei and nodded to him, which probably means: You are not dreaming, I saw the same thing as you.

Although Qin Jixun nodded, Shen Yifei was still in a trance for a few seconds. When he regained his composure, he realized that his mouth was still open and his tongue was cold.

He turned his body back, took a second look with Qin Jixun just now, and looked again with his head again.It wasn't until he looked back that he was completely sure that he wasn't dreaming this time.

Then, Shen Yifei looked at Qin Jixun, Qin Jixun also looked at Shen Yifei, and the two looked at each other for a long time, as if they didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of them.In the end, Shen Yifei slapped his head and took the ax off his back, but he held it upside down with the handle facing up.

Then he tore a piece of leather off his body, tied it on the handle of the ax with a bandage, and spread a thick layer of antifreeze grease on the outside of the leather, pointed the lighter on the grease, and with a "hoo", the fire started , a temporary torch will be ready.

Holding the ax and torch in one hand, and pressing the other hand towards the top of the boulder, Shen Yifei roared: "Ah——————————!" From under the stone, with the strength of his arm, he jumped onto the stone.

The "Strange Beast" who was still standing on the edge of the slope looking towards the direction of the canyon was taken aback when he saw Shen Yifei jumping out suddenly, and was frightened when he saw the torch waving in his hand. , dropped from where he was standing.Falling from such a height is terrible, but the opponent didn't fall to his death, and immediately got up after landing on the ground, screaming "Ah!", and ran forward limping at the same time.

At the same time, more, about a dozen "strange beasts" also emerged from the corners of the cliff, screaming likewise, and ran away into the distance.

The figures of these guys disappeared completely, and Shen Yifei immediately threw the ax on the ground, picked up a stone, and peeled off the burning animal skin from the handle of the axe.Before he packed it up, Qin Jixun had already jumped over there, and the two of them looked into the distance together, their eyes a little dazed.

"You said... was that also a human? Or, was it a human in the past?" Shen Yifei had just stood up when he heard Qin Jixun's hesitant inquiry.

"I don't know, I actually want to ask this question..."

That's right, Shen Yifei also wanted to ask this question, the "strange beast" they saw just now was not a worm corpse, even if it was a worm corpse now, it wouldn't scare the two of them like that, would it?

Those "strange beasts" have the following characteristics: walking on two legs, having two thick arms, wearing animal skins, flat forehead, thick nostrils, protruding jaw, and the back of the head looks a little small, basically... just a picture The shape of the primitive man in the wax figure in the museum or in the museum...

Primitives!

It's strange that the two of them weren't taken aback just now!Although I know that the weird things brought about by the volcanic eruption can mutate all kinds of messy things, but the existence of primitive people is a mutation of some animals, or is it a return to the ancestors?

No matter which route it is, there is a creepy feeling when you think about it.

Of course, the former is better. Anyway, everyone knows that humans are transformed from monkeys, which means that now there is another group of the same kind who missed the evolution of humans last time, and now they have joined the big family of humans.But the latter... think about it, maybe Qin Jixun still has the ability to make a sled with a pile of tattered drawings today, but tomorrow he can only smash nuts with a stick of wood. Isn't it scary?

Thinking of this, Shen Yifei couldn't help holding Qin Jixun's hand.

Qin Jixun was thinking about something and was fascinated. No need to ask, it was also the situation in front of him. Shen Yifei pulled his hand, and he came back to his senses and looked over in doubt: "What's wrong?"

"You have become a gorilla, and I like you too." Shen Yifei had a painful expression on his face, but what he said was also very serious.

Qin Jixun froze for a moment, his expression became dumbfounded at first, but he was also moved: "If I really become a gorilla, then you should go to someone else. Because at that time, even if it is a gorilla that once called 'Qin A gorilla with the name Xun', but in fact it's not me anymore, it's just a gorilla."

"I feel that what you said is quite profound." Shen Yifei grinned, expressing that he didn't understand.

"More profoundly, it is 'I think, therefore I am'. This brain is functioning normally, my consciousness is clear, and I am me. If it is a mess here, I am not me."

Shen Yifei tilted his head: "This is all a philosophical issue. I have heard of it, but I always feel that these theories are used to shirk responsibility."

"Ok?"

"Because when I hear these words, they are often accompanied by some bloody sentences like 'you are not the person I loved at the beginning', 'you have changed, let's separate'. People will always I won’t stay where I am, just like the me before I fell asleep, and the me now is absolutely different. But the nature at the root will never change, right? So even if you become a gorilla, I will I love you the same." Shen Yifei joked himself while talking, because although he didn't convince Qin Jixun, he convinced himself.

Even if the previous pain is gone, so what if the appearance changes, whether it degenerates or evolves?Anyway, they have long since left the category of normal human beings, right?As long as fundamentally, the two of them are together forever, then there's nothing to worry about.

"I loved you as long as I could remember you."

It is impossible to say the lifetime, because people may still be alive, but the brain is already in a mess, so the promise of this life can only be the day when the memory ends...
