Survival In the World of Beasts

Chapter 27: Communication barriers

Li Shizhao went ashore without wiping the water droplets on his body. He took out clean clothes from the bamboo shed next to him and put on them. By the way, he prepared to wash the changed clothes and shoes with the water in the puddle, while the white tiger leisurely turned his back. He was lying half-prone in the water, with his front paws resting on the rocks on the shore, with his head resting on it, his body completely immersed in the water, his ears and eyes squinted comfortably, and his underwater tail swayed leisurely. , So that the surface of the water is also wobbly, like a magic mirror with illusory distortion and blur.

In the rippling water waves, Li Shizhen saw that the faces reflected in the water were completely different, more determined and sharp, with sharp edges and corners. The initial little jerky and immature seems to have precipitated into another kind of restrained grace under the pressure of survival day by day. The hair and beard seemed to have grown a lot, and he never paid attention to it.

When I looked down, my slender and fair fingers became rougher and stronger, and the skin on my hands and body no longer looked as white as it used to be due to excessive indoor activities. My skin now looks more like ivory covered with honey. He is very healthy, his body has not changed much, but he has become thinner, but he clearly knows that the strength under this texture is completely different. The flexibility and flexibility of the joints, the tension of the muscles, and even the reaction speed of the nerves have been the same as before. There has been a qualitative improvement.

Slightly sighed by the impact of the environment on people, Li Shizhao wiped his face, and dried the washed things on the bamboo branches one by one. Seeing the auspicious clothing that was taken off by the white tiger on the ground next to him, he shook his head and reluctantly picked it up and carried it with his own, and put it into the bamboo shed next to it.

On the grass not far away was an arc he stepped on for his recent practice of throwing, and the arc that exposed the black soil underneath looked very dazzling on a piece of green grass.

Li Shizhao usually made marks on the trunk of the banyan tree under the bamboo house. When he practiced bidding guns and meteor claws from fifty steps and beyond, the white tiger just lazily watched and took a nap. I have to go out hunting, of course during the day...], he stepped on a bare arc with a banyan tree as the center of the grass 50 steps away before raising the accuracy of static throwing to about half a meter in diameter. Under the current conditions, this is indeed the best level he can achieve. As for the further dynamic throwing, he hasn't figured it out yet. This morning, he and Baihu went into the vigorous hunting game.

Anyway, the jungle is relatively peaceful at the moment. I don’t know how Deinonychus was repaired, whether it was destroyed or how it was, but it’s definitely not going to be stumbling anymore in a short time. They occupied a forest outside the bamboo forest to play. There should be no problems with the game.

The previous few sacrifices were so violent that people couldn't bear to look directly at him. Walking in the dense forest, he was thrown from behind, from the side, and from above. His whole body was blue and purple, but now he is completely immune to the sharp teeth of the beast close at hand, and can calmly carry it. A few shots of the spear in his hand in close combat have caused Bai Hu a bit of trouble, and I believe that even if he encounters real danger like the previous few times, he can still have a fight.

The previous few dangerous counterattacks he encountered were completely subconscious self-protection behaviors, which may be correct but lack repeatability. Not every time he was so lucky, but now he reacts more calmly and calmly when facing possible danger. , The brain can clearly know the actions to be taken at the current moment and the next, and the emotions like fear are already far away. This is the benefit of repeated training, and his ability to deal with emergent danger is greatly improved.

For the big cat, Li Shizhao was too weak at the beginning, but the more frustrated spirit and the new auspicious clothes made him a little excited. This kind of game makes him feel interesting, different from simple hunting, not just for Survival, on the contrary, is a contest of wits and courage that makes it a little bit happy, because it can obviously feel that not only Li Shizhen is making rapid progress, but also its attacking methods after wearing this green vine dress are also becoming diversified and concealed. , Advancing in a tricky direction.

Although the opponent is relatively weak in physical strength, its flexible combat awareness and endless strategies have given it many surprises and inspirations. The feeling that you can sneak attack on prey during the day is too novel, and the roles of predator and prey in the game are not clearly divided, and they may turn around at any time. Different terrains in the jungle have too many possibilities in the game. . This is something that it has never experienced before, and it doesn't have to fight for life. One person and one tiger just go all out and don't hurt the key points. It's quite easy to let go.

This kind of experience of playing and learning when a tiger was a child happened to be lacking, so it is rare for Li Shizhen to see it put so much energy into things other than eating.

After Li Shizhao packed everything, he took his weapon and climbed the rope ladder barefoot back to the bamboo house and started cooking. When conditions permit, Li Shizhen still subconsciously retains the living habits of human society, falling asleep on time, cleaning regularly, learning and exercising diligently, and the same is true for three meals a day.

I cooked the underground rhizome of a plant at noon. Li Shizhao felt that it should be a kind of potato, which is starchy and easy to preserve, and it is very suitable for filling up hunger. He saw wild boars and orangutans in the forest like to eat them. After dropping, a lot of them were collected and dried and placed in a bamboo house.

Probably because the source of food was always unstable before coming here, and he was always hungry and full. For this kind of easy-to-store food, Li Shizhen generally would not let go, and the jungle is relatively rich in products, and the growth of plants is also great. Rapidly, it grows desperately when it rains, and a large amount of collection is fine as long as the plants are not completely destroyed.

Use this sweet potato with some mushroom broth for lunch, which is simple, delicious and nutritious. While waiting for the broth, he saw that the salt had bottomed out. The trip to the salt cliff must be put on the agenda immediately. Thinking of the dangerous situation in the salt cliff, he didn't know if one person and one tiger could handle the current situation. He began to write on the blade to summarize today's training situation.

According to the progress and familiarity of one person, one tiger today, he feels that some tacit understanding will be cultivated soon, and the so-called integration of resources will no longer be an empty talk. The tiger has the advantage of the tiger, and its speed and power are all its advantages. Advantages, and now with the addition of concealed attributes, the strength will be even higher.

But Li Shizhao also has his own advantages. Sometimes it seems weak is also an advantage, provided that you are not as weak and small as you really look, and his physical movement is much smaller and more flexible than tigers. There are unexpected effects on some occasions.

At this point, the broth has popped up, and the fragrance has spread.

When the smell of meat just came out, the white tiger was already covered with wet fur. With a green tail, he returned to the bamboo house like a large white cat that had just taken a shower, and kept spinning around Li Shizheng, like that. There is no difference between the fish-eating domestic cats, except for the "meow meow" call. Speaking of which, Li Shizhao also admires his ability. No matter what he eats or how long he eats, he can always arrive with a pinch. So the tiger's sense of smell and judgment is really extraordinary?

Seeing that Li Zhizheng was stirring the broth intently, Bai Hu didn't pay attention to it, so he lowered his head and bumped Li Zhizheng.

"En?" He looked down. Bai Hu originally came back with a fruit in his mouth. It put the fruit on the table, raised its shiny blue eyes, and looked at Li Shizun flickeringly, with a look of "Hurry up and praise it," "The nest is very tired" expression.

Li Shizhao looked at the strangely blue diamond-shaped fruit in doubt, and then looked at the proud expression on Baihu's face, sighed, and what kind of seasoning it is, maybe it is a familiar but very rare seasoning, except for the food. Li Shizhao couldn't think of what else could make it look like that.

Forget it, for the sake of it being able to cooperate with its training today, wait for it to scoop more meat, and then add the fruit to its soup, even if it is a reward, Li Zhixun thought calmly.

When Bai Hu turned his head, he suddenly widened his eyes, and watched in horror as Li Zhizheng held a bamboo knife in one hand and put the fruit on its special bowl. He hurriedly stepped forward with his head and two hands. With his front paws protecting his bowl, he looked at Li Zhizong with a vigilant look: "Wow?!"

Li Zhizhu:...

So, this is not for eating at all...what is that for. Li Shizhao took the blue fruit in his hand and looked at it carefully. The index finger was as long and the blue barked like a diamond-shaped malachite. Isn't this fruit that some trace element exceeds the standard?

Bai Hu ignored Li Shizheng’s repeated research on the piece of fruit, and touched his bowl with the back of his paw, but regrettably found that it was still very hot and sad ~ he carefully pushed his big bowl to the side of the window, the whole process Actually a drop of soup didn't come out. It seemed that it was going to let the wind blow the soup to cool down, and then turned around and solemnly "sighed" at Li Shizhao.

Li Zhizheng looked up at it, Bai Hu concealed his soup with his paws, and gave a warning "whoop".

Li Zhizhu held his forehead: "I see, I won't add anything to it anymore." To show that he understands its meaning, he put the unexplained fruit on the shelf, and by the way, he lowered his head and pulled out a leaf to write. The label: "The white tiger was looking for, the purpose is unknown." After a pause, he added: "The white tiger does not eat." Then, by the way, record the appearance characteristics of the fruit and so on.

After Bai Hu confessed to Li Shixun, he whizzed down the tree, and he didn't know what to do. However, it would definitely come back before the soup was cold during meal time, he thought surely.

Sure enough, Bai Hu rushed back when Li Shizhao put the label on it. The hair on his body hadn't dried up completely, which shows how fast it was. Then Li Shizhao discovered that it had put up the auspicious clothes. What is this going to do?

Then it brushed the floor and got up on the shelf, hooked the blue fruit that Li Shizhen had just put on it with its paws, picked it up and put it on the auspicious clothes.

Li Zhizhu:...

Is this fruit used in auspicious clothes? But how do you use it? What is the purpose?

Bai Hu tilted his head and glanced at Li Shizhen: "Ooooo!"

I know, this is to remind him to pay attention to the following things, then Bai Hu raised his right front paw and put it on his nose, and then patted the fruit on the ground.

Li Zhizhu picked up the fruit and put it under his nose. There was no special smell. He pondered for a long while and looked at the meaning of the white tiger. It seemed that the fruit had an effect on the animal's sense of smell. The purpose of concealment is to hide. Obviously, this fruit will enhance this effect, so it can interfere with or shield the sense of smell?

Li Shizhao carefully cut its epidermis with his nails. The fragrance of grass was very strong and pure. So, this is a natural grass perfume? Put on the smell that can conceal oneself, and even make the prey imperceptible to oneself?

Bai Hu saw that Li Shizhen had been placed on the tip of his nose for research, and he smelled the diffuse smell of green grass. It seemed that he understood how to use this blue fruit, so he walked to the window and began to drink his own soup, satisfied. After drinking it, I was a little lucky. Fortunately, the "snacks" were rescued in time, or the whole pot of soup would not be able to be drunk, which is really dangerous.╮( ̄▽ ̄")╭Li Shizhen put the fruit back on the shelf, He also started to eat his own lunch, and he was already hungry for a morning of high-intensity exercises.

However, it seems that I just overestimated the tacit understanding between myself and the tiger. It seems that in addition to putting more effort into the training of individual strength, coordination should also be timely to keep up. How to train this coordination, Li Zhizheng is a little bit embarrassed. He usually communicates with one person and one tiger. He relies on observing the expression, voice and body language of the white tiger. He can't have a keen sense of smell like an animal. It can be obtained through pheromone. To get Baihu's information, as for how the tiger receives his information, most of the language is not clear, so it is mostly through facial expressions, simple words and some body language.

He almost made a big oolong just now, and he didn't know if the fruit used to put on the auspicious clothes was poisonous, he thought about it with a bit of anguish.

This way of communication is of course no problem in normal times, but it is too fatal to encounter a big problem that needs to be solved together. After that moment, Li Shizhen came here repeatedly, and every second counts. Life and death are determined in an instant, and every factor is decisive.

Did he or Bai Hu take the time to look at each other's expressions and poses at the moment of life and death to decide the next step of cooperation? This is too ridiculous. It seems that if they want to further improve, the communication problem has become a shortcoming of their coordinated operations. So, does his joke at the time need to be seriously considered at this time?
