Jungle Throne

After knowing the ins and outs of the whole thing, Gao Zhige once again lamented his fate——and walked back from the gate of hell once again.Although she knew that her knife had been used to change medicine, she felt a little pity, but she didn't regret it, after all, it was something that really brought her back from the line of life and death.Besides, Meng Luo promised to make a better stone knife for her.

Meng Luo turned back into a lion again, carried Gao Zhige back to the cave, gave her the only animal skin on his body, and then went to the river to bring back the four bowls he made.

As for the long-toothed animal skin soaked in the water, it had been a whole day, and it had already been eaten badly by the fish in the river.You know, the fish in this world are not like modern fish. The fish here all have very sharp teeth, which are very sturdy.

In Gao Zhige's heart, it was a pity that a good animal skin was ruined like this. Fortunately, these four bowls could comfort her dry heart.

Well, there is also the fruit that Monroe specially picked for her.

After this incident, Gao Zhige also knew that Meng Luo's mother left the tribe after Meng Luo was kicked out, but because Meng Luo, who had just grown up, lacked strength and experience, the prey he caught was not enough to support the two of them. As a result, they are often hungry.In addition, the mother was a frail female, so she fell ill very quickly, so that she died of illness or starvation on the road.

And because Meng Luo is a beastman, his body is relatively strong, even if he is hungry for a few days, he will be fine, so after his mother left, he lived through those days with difficulty.Because of this, Meng Luo has gradually grown into an outstanding hunter in the accumulated struggles with nature.

As for Meng Luo's father...Gao Zhige only knew at this time that there was no polygamy or polyandry in Meng Luo's tribe, but a more chaotic relationship—in Meng Luo's tribe , First of all, there is a most powerful male orc as the head lion, and every time the head lion takes over, all the females in the lion group will have a showdown again.The head lion has the absolute right to choose all adult females in the pride.In other words, regardless of whether the female selected by the head lion already has a partner, her future partner can only be a head lion.

Next is the selection of female and male by each male orc and each female orc, each can only choose one.Of course, if the first lion picks away more than half of the females in the lion group, then the rest will definitely not be enough, so when multiple male orcs choose the same female, they can only go through a duel.

Under normal circumstances, for the sake of the unity of the tribe, the head lion will not do such extreme things, and will consider the situation of the tribe.

Except that males and females do not have the right to choose a mate, they are equal to orcs in other respects, or they are even higher.Generally speaking, the orcs must try their best to meet their requirements.

Not long after Meng Luo was born, the lion group experienced a lion change, so Meng Luo has two fathers.But she has no feelings for her father, Gao Zhige can understand, just like her biological father and stepfather, the biological father doesn't want her, and the stepfather has his own child, so how can she have any feelings for the child?

Gao Zhige also learned that the orcs here are all 25 years old, and the males and females are 30 years old.Because the average life expectancy of the former is one hundred to 120 years old, while the latter can live to more than one hundred and fifty years old.

According to this, she is only 25 years old, isn't she still a minor?Looking at Meng Luo with a guilty face, after asking, he realized that the other party had just found out not long ago. It was the wandering orc who saved her who told her that Gao Zhige was still underage, and suggested that she should bring the female nearby. Go to the tribe and hand it over to the tribe to raise them.Because the cub's body functions are not fully developed, without the protection of the tribe, it will easily die.

Upon hearing the other party explain the original words so honestly, Gao Zhige couldn't help but be thankful for the other party's innocent nature.If Munro really threw her into the tribe without her knowing, she might hate him to death.

Just because females cannot choose a mate, Gao Zhige will try to escape even if he dies.As a modern person with the concept of freedom in marriage, how could she tolerate her inability to fall in love freely?

"Meng Luo, do you want to send me to the tribe?" Gao Zhige asked.She thought that if the other party answered yes, then she would run away.

Not free, or rather die.

Fortunately, this simple orc shook his head and said with guilt on his face: "You are the first person who didn't hate me and said you would make clothes for me...I want to keep you...but I'm afraid you will Die... like Grandmother... I will be sad if you go. I want to go with you, but no tribe will accept me..."

Meng Luo suddenly began to cry softly while talking.Before Gao Zhige could react to comfort her, Meng Luo ran out of the cave and only said, "You have a good rest, I'll catch the long-nosed beast and give it to me."

Mu probably was the name of that wandering orc... Gao Zhige's heart ached when he thought that he lost his knife and five animal skins just because of a fever.But what can I do?Although she is a modern person, she doesn't know Chinese medicine!

After Gao Zhige gnawed a few fruits, he planned to take it step by step and finish the matter at hand.She marked out a place at the entrance of the cave, where she was going to fire pottery bowls.

If... it works.

She dug a shallow pit on the ground with stones, then surrounded the pit with a few stones picked up from the outside, and stacked four bowls in the pit upside down according to "three at the bottom and one in the middle of the top". Spread the twigs and leaves all around and over the bowl, holding the branches together vertically like a cone.

Start a fire.

In order to ensure the high temperature in the pit for a long time, Gao Zhige collected a large number of branches before lighting the fire.When the fire burned more and more vigorously, Gao Zhige kept putting branches in, piled up the firewood, and finally piled it into a cone.

In the end, Gao Zhige waited for them to finish burning. If all went well, the pottery bowl might be ready.

During the waiting process, Gao Zhige was not idle, she walked around the cave to see what plants were there.She did not dare to go far, fearing that she would not find her way back.

She found various plants nearby that she might use later, like vines, and made a mental note of the location.In this way, I remembered while walking, and picked up firewood by the way, tied my back with rattan, and walked slowly for an hour before returning to the cave.At this time, the fire in the cave was almost extinguished, leaving only the red-hot charcoal.

Gao Zhige didn't move it, put the firewood on the other side, and then sat on the animal skin, waiting for it to cool down slowly.

Gao Zhige thought that Meng Luo would come back soon, but the other party didn't come back until five days later.Fortunately, although the other party left suddenly and in a hurry, they had prepared a lot of fruits in the cave early on.She put these fruits in small baskets woven with rattan and soaked them in the dark river in the cave, so they could be preserved for a long time without rotting or starving her.

But she is not a person who is willing to only eat fruit. After eating the fruit for a day, she took a small basket made of rattan and went to the river to catch fish. At the same time, she found the stone adze that was not finished last time. , get it done.

Although Meng Luo had only been to that river once, but luckily it was not far away, so Gao Zhige knew the way.

Because Meng Luo had already helped her complete more than half of the work last time, the rest only needed to be polished, and it was not very strenuous.Gao Zhige grinded for about ten minutes before finishing the work.

Then, Gao Zhige immediately took the stone adze he had just made to cut down a small tree that was thicker than three fingers combined, then made a gesture of his own height, and removed all the branches and leaves of the felled trunk. Made a wooden stick that was probably a little taller than myself.

Then build a fire by the river.Put one end of the stick on the fire and burn it, and when it is almost burnt, put the other end on the stone to grind it into a spear point.

A simple and easy-to-make wooden spear is made.

Gao Zhige took the wooden spear and went to spear the fish.

One fork and one accurate!

Fish soup is ready tonight!

Gao Zhige thought happily, turned around, just pulled the fish off the spear tip and threw it into the rattan basket, when he looked up, he saw a long-toothed beast.

Having said that, there seem to be a lot of long-toothed beasts in this forest...

As Gao Zhige thought about it, she had no fear at all, but her fighting spirit was high because she accurately speared three fish just now.Facing the long-toothed beast that was approaching her tentatively, Gao Zhige clenched the wooden spear in her hand, leaned down, and watched the long-toothed beast's every move closely, and took an attacking posture, as if the person opposite was not a long-toothed beast , but a fish no different from the river!

The long-toothed beast also seemed to sense that the person in front of him was not easy to provoke, panting heavily, and lowered its head so that the pair of long fangs were facing each other.Its front paws pawed lightly at the ground, preparing for the attack.

Gao Zhige narrowed her eyes, and her eyes became more focused and sharp.At this moment, the long-toothed beast rushed over.

The distance between them suddenly shortened by half.

"Drink!" Gao Zhige burst into flames, shouted loudly, and with the momentum of spearing a fish just now, he precisely inserted the tip of the spear into the long-toothed beast's eyes. The spear penetrated the brain and got stuck in the eye socket. .

Longtooth died instantly.

After confirming that the other party was really dead, Gao Zhige breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the spear, and shook his numb arm.I didn't feel anything just now, but afterwards I felt a sense of loss of strength.

"Haha! I'm actually quite strong!" After laughing, Gao Zhige was suddenly full of confidence in the future.

She picked up a stone on the ground and went over to knock out both tusks of the long-tusked beast.Take a look, good guy!It's quite sharp, and these two teeth must have been sharpened by each other on weekdays.

Then, with the help of these two fangs and the stone adze, it took a lot of effort and time to peel off the whole animal hide.

After Gao Zhige cleaned up the blood, feces and residual meat stained on the leather in the river, she rolled up the leather, carried her three fish, a stone adze and two animal teeth, and quickly returned to the cave.

——Isn't she afraid that she will encounter some danger by the river?For caves, because the entrance of the cave is higher than the ground, it can avoid the attack of wild animals.

Little did they know that a large area including the cave and the river bank had been marked by Meng Luo early on.In other words, these ranges belong to her territory.Under normal circumstances, no other beasts would break in.

Long-toothed beasts look a bit like wild boars on the earth. Although they live in groups, they like to act alone and are very aggressive. They often fight for territory and mates; however, once they are attacked by foreign natural enemies, they will act in unison. , very united.

Since their territory is adjacent to Meng Luo's territory, only extremely hungry long-toothed beasts would come here regardless of the danger, and therefore, Gao Zhige met a long-toothed beast by the river so coincidentally.

However, it was precisely because the other party had been hungry for too long, had almost no strength, and was slow to move, so she was killed so easily.
