The Infinite Journey of Cruelty

Throwing down the ore temporarily, Li Wei heard two light footsteps behind him, turned around and saw Chi Tong and Hei Tong who had put on new clothes.

​​

The two of them were wearing black shirts and shorts, stockings that wrapped their legs, and a pair of boots that were the right size for their feet.

​​

Although there is not much beauty, Chi Tong and Hei Tong still look very happy, and the faint vigilance and caution in their eyes have also been reduced a lot.

​​

"It looks pretty good, let's have the strength, if you have any, go to the forest with me to see the traps, and grab the food tonight." Nodding and complimenting, Li Wei looked at Chi Tong and Hei Tong, heartbroken. softened.

​​

All animal cubs are cute, and human cubs too.

​​

Hearing that they were going to the forest to find today's food, Chi Tong and Hei Tong hurriedly grabbed daggers and water bags, and then returned to the yard to express that they were ready.

​​

Li Wei left the yard with Chi Tong and Hei Tong, and walked to the first trap he set up to catch prey.

​​

As he walked, he did not forget to explain some common jungle hunting knowledge points of the Predator to Chi Tong and Hei Tong who were following him.

​​

"When you are in the forest, you should always pay attention to stones and dense weeds. These places may hide poisons. I will teach you about hunting later. After you learn it, you can hunt animals and eat them alone."

​​

Chi Tong and Hei Tong followed behind with their daggers in their hands and listened very carefully. These are all knowledge about survival, the knowledge they are eager to know.

​​

They use their not yet brilliant minds, try to record the content and knowledge, and ask questions when they encounter problems they don't understand.

​​

"What is a poison?"

​​

"What happens if the worms eat it?"

​​

"How are animal footprints used to distinguish animal size?"

​​

Both of them asked some very basic questions. After Li Wei answered them one by one, he came to the first pothole and trap.

​​

The trap was triggered, but there were no animals in the hole. Judging from the traces, the prey apparently escaped from the edge of the hole.

​​

"You go and break some branches to cover this place, and then cover it with large leaves and cover it with dead leaves. This is the most common pit trap, which can be arranged in most environments." Li Weike did not do it himself. It is impossible for them to survive in this world without cultivating their hands-on ability.

​​

There are too many places in the empire to eat people. They not only need strong strength and hunting skills, but also need to learn cultural knowledge and accumulate social practical experience.

​​

After all these are taught, Li Wei estimates that he will become an old father...

​​

Chi Tong and Hei Tong quickly finished laying out the simple potholes and traps, and then looked at Li Wei with wide eyes, and their eyes became eager.

​​

"Well done..." Li Wei was stared at by the eyes of the two, and after he praised him, he saw the slightly slack muscle activity on their faces.

​​

Are they asking for compliments...

​​

"Sharp wooden thorns can also be inserted at the bottom of the pothole to increase the success rate. I didn't do this because I wanted to catch some live deer and raise them in the yard. Let's go, go to the next one."

​​

……

​​

The second trap, they were not too far from the first trap, and this time they got something.

​​

A wild boar, which can be seen everywhere in the Nora tree in Kyiv, was trapped by a rope trap on its hind legs, and half of its body was suspended in the air. When it saw Li Wei, it made a screaming scream. It seemed that it was not long after the trap.

​​

The wild boar is not very big, but it is enough to serve as a dinner for Chi Tong and Hei Tong.

​​

Knocking the wild boar, Li Wei carried it back to his residence, ending today's teaching.

​​

Chi Tong and Hei Tong were a little unfinished. Although the first teaching only explained some knowledge, they realized the importance of knowledge early on.

​​

It's like they want to recognize the common language of the whole empire... When they were wandering, a sister once told them that as long as they learned to read, they would not worry about life in the future, and they could go to the town administrative center to find a job.

​​

That paragraph was definitely a gateway to hope for them who had just experienced despair at the time, but it was too difficult to learn the language without anyone's teaching, not to mention the knowledge monopolized by the nobles and the royal family.

​​

The forest at night is not quiet, and the smell of barbecued meat wafting out of the wooden house is definitely a deadly temptation for some dangerous species.

​​

Li Wei was leaning against the fire, engraving words on the stone slab with his fingers and showing them to Chi Tong and Hei Tong.

​​

This is the common language of the empire. Chi Tong and Hei Tong both need to learn this. The two of them are also very surprised and happy. They study very seriously. Even in the process of learning, they don't forget to check whether the barbecue on the shelf is cooked.

​​

"These fifty characters are the pronunciation of the imperial script. Remember them so that you can spell the words. This board is placed here. If you forget it, come and see it. You can use the branches on the ground to write it a few times, so that you can remember quickly. Some." Li Wei put the slate on the edge of the wooden wall for the two of them to observe and study.

​​

Chi Tong and Hei Tong were sitting on a piece of wood, their fingers poking on the ground constantly.

​​

After trying it for a while, they gave up when the barbecue was cooked. They felt that it was a factor of age. Children couldn't poke the slate with their hands. After learning the breathing method, they would be fine when they grew up!

​​

……

​​

The next morning, the imperial army that came to exterminate the beast tide arrived at the edge of the Nora Sea of ​​Trees in Kyiv.

​​

The person responsible for quelling this emergency was General Liwa, who was increasingly unpopular with the court because he was unwilling to accept bribes.

​​

Originally, he was a general who held a lot of military power to guard the border, but now he was sent to the Kyiv Nora Sea of ​​Trees to quell and block the beast tide, which is completely overkill.

​​

General Liwa, who is in his prime, still retains a high prestige in the army. He has silver-white flowing slanted bangs, two **** mustaches on his lips, and wears army green armor. He is tall and straight. Not to be seen, but still in good spirits.

​​

He rode a steed in light armor to the edge of the forest road that was burned by the flames. Tens of thousands of troops followed quietly, and no one said a word except for the sound of the horses stomping on the ground.

​​

"stop!"

​​

General Liwa gently pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and walked to a few charred corpses on the side of the road.

​​

Although the armor worn on the corpse has been connected to the flesh and skin of the corpse, and was burnt to black by the flames, it can still be vaguely recognized that these are imperial armor, and the identity of the corpse is the soldier of the empire.

​​

He frowned. No one had told him that troops had come before he came.

​​

Suddenly, Liwa looked into the depths of the charred woods, where something seemed to be walking out.

​​

The imperial soldiers who have been fighting against foreign nations in the north all year round raised their long swords or spears and aimed at the place where the abnormal noise came from in the forest.

​​

Moments later, a thin, weak boy with pink hair came out of the woods, holding a dagger stained with dried blood in his hand.

​​

The boy walked out of the sea of ​​trees~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and saw a large group of soldiers pointing their swords at him, with a shocked expression on his face, then the shocked expression subsided, and he walked towards the most conspicuous person.

​​

Seeing that the boy didn't seem to be afraid of him, Liwa just adjusted his breathing, came to him, and asked calmly, "Is there anyone else who walked through the woods before me?"

​​

Staring at the boy's eyes for a while, although he didn't understand why this child appeared here, he was still a little surprised by what he said.

​​

"You came from the other side of the woods?" Liva asked in surprise.

​​

The boy tilted his head and continued, "Didn't you let us walk through this forest?"

​​

The soldiers around were very surprised when they heard this. The boy was probably only about eight years old! Listening to his words, he seems to have come here through the Kyiv Nora Sea of ​​Trees, this...

​​

is that a lie!

​​

General Liwa opened his mouth and frowned even more. He glanced at the charred corpse beside him and seemed to understand something...

​​

At this time, children with tattered clothes and wounds all walked out of the woods one by one, holding daggers, their expressions were either nervous or relaxed. There were eight people in total.

​​

There was dead silence in the army, and Liwa was silent for a while, looking at these ragged children with an extremely ugly expression.

​​

"Take them to bandage, rest in place, and let the scouts go to the woods to investigate!"
