Beast World Codex

Some time has passed since the last time I was beaten, because of my good performance, my father relaxed the restrictions on me again. This day, I squatted on the grassland with Li Bo and others, preparing to catch a long-nosed beast together, even if the meat quality is not good enough. Not delicate, but the taste is especially good after smoking.

Although the temperature started to get cold, we still wore short animal skin clothes and scattered and hid in the grass.

Successfully hunted down a male proboscis. Although this proboscis is huge and has hard skin, its belly is soft. The proboscis that fell on the ground was five meters long and weighed about two tons. Individuals can't carry the whole head back.

I took part of the meat, and so did the others. I looked at the half of the prey that I couldn't take away with regret, wiped the blood on my face, and planned to go back.

Walking together, I asked everyone, "Are you attending this year's bar mitzvah?"

"Yeah." Li Bo replied, Li Ke beside him looked depressed, except for him, everyone participated.

Hu Fei still had the same lazy tone, "By the way, are you going to the exchange day in autumn?"

I saw that Li Bo and Li Cong both nodded, so I replied, "I won't go." Because my male father will go out on the autumn exchange day, and the coming-of-age ceremony will be in time, I can take advantage of the coming-of-age ceremony for a month. Go to the other side of the cliff once.

The autumn exchange day is the last day in late autumn. In order to arrive at the exchange point on time, the orcs will start early, and the coming-of-age ceremony is in autumn and August, from the beginning of August to a full month before winter comes.

If you are lucky and fast, the orcs who challenged the coming-of-age ceremony will be able to challenge successfully before the departure of the exchange day, and go to the exchange day with a brand new identity.But speed is not what I want to pursue. It is my goal to take advantage of this month to run to the other side of the cliff.

When I got home, I asked Ah Ma to help me make all the meat of the proboscis into bacon jerky. It will be August in more than ten days, and now I am starting to prepare for the big event I am about to do.

"Ah, let me cut the meat." Walking to Ah's side, he took the animal meat that had been washed and dehaired, put it on the stone table in the yard, and cut it into slices on the chopping board .

Not long after, father will come too. Seeing me and Ah Mo sticking together, he has a beautiful face. After watching for a long time, I get used to it. I don't think father's face is so scary. I pretend to be stupid. He asked him in a daze, "Father, when will the exchange team depart?"

His complexion suddenly turned better, and his tone was still a little relaxed, "It's still a long time, and you should have passed the coming-of-age ceremony by then."

"Maybe, if you are unlucky and want me to go to the snow mountain or something, then you will definitely see me at home." Shrugging, he said a little rascally.Like the orcs of the Yuanli clan, the orcs of the Linmang clan are also afraid of the cold.

My eyes sharply caught the eye of the knife that my father threw to me. His action was concealed from Ah Mo's sight. He threw the knife very familiarly. I speeded up and cut up the meat, and then went to add water to the water tank. Now that he is no longer committed to fighting against the male father, think about it, it is really stupid to do such a thing.

I didn't miss Father's surprised look, I thought to myself, huh, I'm almost an adult male.

Until the end of dinner, my father looked at me with a subtle expression, so the whole dinner table was rare to be quiet and harmonious. Ah Mo was also a little curious, but my father and I said it was okay, so she didn't care much.

In the pine house, I was meditating at the table, how I would successfully get to the other side and come back. I lost two iron hooks last time, and now I only have one in my hand, which is not enough.I don't know if the two iron hooks have been picked up by someone. If they are still in place, it will be much easier.

I looked at the shelf leaning against the tree, and there was a wooden hook that I made myself according to the shape of an iron hook. Although it had a shape, it was definitely not as strong as the iron hook.

In addition to the hook, the rope ladder was remade, longer and stronger. Without bows and arrows, I brought two more short knives.Put all the prepared things into the animal skin bag, tie it up and put it under the table.

Time seemed to pass quickly after that, and when I realized it, the coming-of-age ceremony had begun.

The orcs in the clan, old and young, surrounded the altar a few times. Those who had cubs in the family who wanted to participate in the ceremony even sent out the whole family. My family was the same. Looking back, it was easy to find the two of them, the male father who was carefully protecting Ah Mo. .

Turning his gaze around, it was rare to see so many clansmen at the same time. Although the altar was full of crowds, everyone was unanimously quiet.

Facing the place where the three stars rise in the east, there is a huge stone statue. It is said that the person engraved is the first generation of divine envoys, because the orcs began to have language and thinking, and they were different from ordinary beasts. .

Beast Qi Continent generally respects the envoys of the past dynasties, especially the first generation of envoys.

Under the solemn stone statue, more than [-] participants half-kneeled and raised their heads to accept the baptism of the beast blood in the hands of the patriarch. They didn't have too many decorations on their bodies, and everyone went into battle lightly.I half-raised my head, and the patriarch Li Hui hit a spot on my forehead, leaving a round red spot on my forehead without thinking too much.

Just like a boy in a New Year's painting, there is really a special kind of joy in the male orc with a square face and a strong body. In the past few years, I had to snicker every time I looked at it, but today it is finally my turn.

Sure enough, Feng Shui turns around, and it will come to my house this year.

The ceremony passed quickly while I was thinking about it, and then the wooden card was drawn from the wooden box in the priest's hand, with various task requirements written on it.

My luck seems to be good. What I got was a collection task. The item I need is the chamaejasma flower that grows in the valley of the wind. It is somewhat similar to the wolf's tooth flower, but it is more difficult to find.If the wolf tooth flower is of the ten-year grade, then the chamaejasma flower is nearly a hundred years old.

The wooden sign was passed from my hand to my father's, and he frowned, "I haven't seen chamaejasma flower in recent years, and this medicinal material is hard to find."

The Li Bo and Hu Fei families also came over, the three families got together, and when they heard my father's words, Hu Fei's father Hu Li also nodded, "That's right, I haven't seen it even on the exchange day for several years. "

I actually had a possibility in my mind, but I couldn't say it clearly, so I had to change the subject and ask Li Bo, "What did you and Feizi get?"

Li Bo directly handed me the sign in his hand, which said to hunt the manticore's scorpion tail, and Hu Fei said calmly, "My idea is simple, just go to the Lynx clan to get the token."

Hu Fei’s mission seems to be the easiest among the three of us, but it’s actually not that easy. The Lynx tribe’s territory is far away from the Daling Tribe, and it’s not safe to go alone on the road. You have to get a token within a month’s time Going back to the tribe requires a very fast pace. If it is Hu Fei and I, we can still try it. If it is Li Bo, we will know that the result will be unsuccessful without trying.

The ceremony came to an end here, and the next thing was to wait for each challenger to return with the spoils one by one after setting off, or pass or fail.

I went back home first, and Xiongfu didn’t say much on the way. He saw that I was determined to challenge, so he didn’t stop me, but his expression told me that he didn’t have any confidence in the possibility of my success in this challenge. No.

After some reassurance, I got rid of the suddenly nagging female and mother. I went to the pine room and took out the package under the table, and looked at the things that needed to be added. I changed into a light animal skin skirt, and I also prepared an extra set in the bag. , and items such as dry food kettles, the odds and ends always fill up a bag.

After going home to say goodbye, he set off boldly.

Like other challengers, he registered at the gate of the tribe. Looking at the clear one-month deadline on the writing paper, he secretly smiled and left the tribe with the recorder's blessing.

Passing through the dense jungle, crossing the grassland, and galloping on the silent sand plain at night, it took a day to reach the cliff.

I had no dreams all night, and the deadly atmosphere around me woke up early the next day. I shook my head to wake up and began to survey the landforms.

The site selection last time was not very good, and there were not enough footholds on the cliff. This time, I had enough time. I walked slowly on the edge of the cliff to observe, poking my head out from time to time. Unfortunately, the entire cliff was inclined inward. It is very inconvenient to observe.

The rope ladder left last time was still there. After confirming that it was secure and safe, I left the package on the shore and went down the ladder to the cliff.

The wind was very strong, and the direction of the wind became more strange as I went down. It was more obvious when I walked to the bottom. The wind on my face was blowing to the right, but the wind below my waist was blowing to the left.

Looking left and right, relying on good long-sightedness to find an obvious indentation, I made a mental note of the location and went back to the cliff.

Another rope ladder was pressed in the new place, and, as before, the two long ropes were brought to the opposite bank, with one of them fastened to the recess between the cliffs.

Stepping on the concave spot under the foot is indeed much better than before, and there is a space that can easily accommodate a person.

After tying one end of the hemp rope, I easily reached the opposite bank with the package on my back. As soon as I landed, I felt that the surrounding environment was quite different from the last time I came here. The scenery did not change much, but there was a faint chill atmosphere.

Carefully tied up the two thick hemp ropes, carefully tied the rope that slipped back to the stone pillar five or six meters high, and set some small traps around to prevent wild animals from destroying it.

For some reason, I walked to the place where the iron hook was left last time, and saw a small round pit with obvious artificial traces. I dug out the small stones covered with it, and it was indeed what we left behind. Two large black iron hooks.Don't know who did it.After thinking about it for a while, I took out the iron hook, put it on one of the few short trees on the bare hill, and hid it.

Only then did I have time to observe the cliff on the other side, and searched carefully. Spike flower was easy to find. After a while, I found a plant that was hard to find under the protection of several wolf tooth flowers. Flower, it took some time to go to the other side and use the old rope ladder to pick it up.

Carefully put it into the big bamboo tube and put it in the bottom layer of the package. In this way, as long as I return to the tribe to hand over the task smoothly, my coming-of-age ceremony will be considered passed, and the sky has already darkened by this time.

Some couldn't believe my own dawdling, but I could only go back to the place where I slept all night and lie down again. After a few careful considerations, I took out part of the package, and used a smaller piece of animal skin to put wolf tooth flowers and other Wrap up a few small things, hide them in the crevice of the stone, and carefully take a stone and stick it in place.

For the next month or so, let me go to the other side to slowly find the answer. This action is more careful, and it will be safer and less likely to be lost by hiding the easily damaged spikes here.
