The Survival of the Wild Tribe

Lu Zhan kept climbing until there was no movement under the cave.

The area of ​​the stone mountain is very large, and the cave inside the nature is also very wide. Lu Zhan only discovered that even though the voice just now seemed to be heard directly below him, the people who spoke were not standing here.

There is a water pool here. There are many white crystals around the water pool. You don’t need to guess that those must be stone salt. Except for this small pool, there are several openings around it, and I don’t know where it leads to. .

Lu Zhan was not in a hurry to walk to the entrance of the cave. He first checked the salt crystals around the pool. The quality was much better than the stone salt that the Tiger Lion tribe got in the settlement. At least there was not much soil in the salt crystals. Lu Zhan simply filled a bag full of animal skins with impurities such as grass clippings, so that even if he was discovered later, he didn't have to worry about leaving empty-handed.

Except for a little sunlight leaking from the top of the cave, the environment around the water pool is very dim, and the surrounding holes are even more black, like the big mouth of some giant beasts, waiting for the prey to take the initiative to drill into it. Finally, the prey is swallowed clean.

Occasionally, wind pours in from a few caves, blowing across the calm surface of the pool, bringing up a damp salty smell, Lu Zhan shrugs his nose, this smell is much stronger than what he smelled outside the stone mountain. But it made Lu Zhan like it more. There was an urge to jump into the pool and swim back and forth, but after smelling it for a long time, I felt that something was missing in these smells, just like scratching a boot.

Lu Zhan finally gave up this thought, feeling a little itchy in his feet, stood up and moved a bit, and carried the animal skin backpack stuffed with rock salt behind him, planning to go to see other places.

The appearance of Luca has always made him care very much. Once or twice can be regarded as a coincidence, but the more times he can only think that the other party must have some conspiracy, this person has hit several tribes near their Sun Yao tribe several times. In the middle, as the leader of the Riyao tribe, Lu Zhan had to pay attention.

Lu Zhan chose a side cave and walked in. If he guessed well, the sound of Luca and others talking before came from this cave.

There is no light in the cave. No matter how good Lu Zhan’s eyesight is, he can’t distinguish the sights around him. He has adapted to the darkness for a while before he can see some vague shadows. He can only rely on groping and wind. The sound made when blowing across the cave wall to tell the direction.

Although there is a water hole in the cave, the inside of the cave is much drier than expected. The more you go inside, the texture of the cave wall is very different from the stone that Lu Zhan is familiar with. It feels that there are finely divided powder sticking to the skin. , I don’t know if the surrounding cave walls are made of rock salt, but because of limited vision, Lu Zhan can’t tell.

The cave wasn't too long, and Lu Zhan soon felt that an orange-red flame appeared in front of him. It was not too bright, but it was enough for him to distinguish the surrounding things.

Lu Zhan stopped and listened for a while, but he didn't hear any movement before he walked forward against the cave wall.

It is another water pool with a small area. The surrounding area of ​​this water pool is very different from what we have seen before. There is no white salt crystal growing on the edge of the pool, but there are thin cliffs on the surrounding cliffs. A layer of frost, but the frost is not white, but beautiful red, a bit like bright red blood under the dim fire light.

Lu Zhan first scanned the situation in the cave. Except for a fire on a clearing beside the lake, there were no other figures. But just by looking at the progress of the fire, you can know that the people here just now weren’t there. How long I left, I just don’t know if I will come back again.

It’s a bit like a stalactite cave. The surrounding rocks are rugged. The stones on top of his head are still dripping with water. The speed is not fast. Lu Zhan dipped a little bit into his mouth and licked it. The bitter and salty taste. It tastes much better than the white rock salt outside.

If Luo Zhen were here, I was afraid that he would be shocked by the scene in the cave. No matter how rich his imagination, he would never have thought that something like red salt would appear in the same cave as ordinary stone salt. .

But Lu Zhan doesn’t know what red salt is. He only thinks that the red frost stuck to the stone is much better than the gray stone salt. Even the pool next to him is more attractive to him than the pool before. Great, just staying by the water pool, I feel comfortable all over, if it weren’t for his firm will, I’m afraid he would have long since jumped into the pool water, beastized into his second form, and swam a few times in the water. .

He has a natural instinct for finding good things. Without talking about anything else, he found a thin stone, scraped all the red frost on the cliff wall and the side of the pool, and put them all into another animal skin bag that was still vacant. .

If it weren't for time, he would prefer to refine some cleaner red salt directly from the pool next to him.

Lu Zhan’s five senses are the highest. While collecting red frost, he is paying attention to the situation at the entrance of the cave. He is always ready to run away when someone comes in. For the future exchange of stone and salt, Lu Zhan does not want to confront the tiger-lion tribe.

If the Tiger Lion tribe hadn't monopolized all the stone salt, and they couldn't exchange enough stone salt, Lu Zhan would not attack their salt mountain.

No way, who made their Sun Yao tribe go too far away from here, this time at least enough for their tribe to eat for two or three years. Speaking of which Luo Zhen has always wanted to try to find someone near the tribe. There is no new salt mountain, and this matter can be put on the agenda after going back this time.

If he could get stone salt near the tribe, Lu Zhan wouldn't have much interest and went to Changfeng Mountain to exchange it with the Tiger Lion tribe.

While thinking about it, the movement in his hands kept on.

Suddenly Lu Zhan's ears moved. In the empty cave, in addition to the sound of the wind blowing and the "ticking" sound of water drops dripping onto the ground, there was a faint breathing. Obviously, coupled with the long distance from Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan has never noticed it.

Lu Zhan first pulled all the red cream that had just gathered into the animal skin bag, tied the bag tightly, and backed it to his shoulder. Then, he walked gently in the direction where the breathing sound came from.

The sound was behind a rock, close to the edge of the pond, and there were several drops of water dripping down around it. The breathing sound was covered by the sound of water drops, and it was normal for Lu Zhan not to notice.

Because no one added wood, the light in the fire was much weaker than before. Lu Zhan’s shadow was stretched by the fire light and fell on the water. It quickly melted into the dark water, only to be cast on the opposite cliff. The half of his head was pulled and deformed, as if a large behemoth was quietly approaching its prey.

In this direction, if there was a person behind the stone, the existence of Lu Zhan would have been discovered, but the other party did not react at all. Even the faint breathing sound was looming, as if it was just an illusion that appeared in this too quiet place.

Lu Zhan frowned, and his right hand quietly turned into a beast. As long as he found the slightest threat behind the stone, his sharp claws could instantly scratch the opponent's throat.

At the moment when he approached the stone, Lu Zhan suddenly leaped forward in an attacking posture, but he slammed into the air. When he fixed his eyes, he realized that a thin figure was lying quietly in the pool.

Half of the man was immersed in the pool water, his back turned to Lu Zhan, his messy hair covered his entire face, and he was wearing a large and dirty animal skin coat, and he couldn't even tell his gender. Even if the temperature in this cave is low, it is rare for people to wrap themselves so tightly in the hot summer.

Lu Zhan stretched out his foot and kicked the man's shoulder without any reaction. If he could not hear the other's faint breathing, I'm afraid that he would have thought that the other party hadn't known how long he had been dead.

People from the Tiger and Lion tribe? Why are people staying here?

Not everyone will save Lu Zhan. What's more, this is the territory of the Tiger and Lion tribe. No one in the tribe will keep an ordinary person on the side and let the other person fend for themselves, unless that person is a foreigner, and Looking at the other person's appearance, it would be a matter of time before Lu Zhan died. Lu Zhan didn't intend to be discovered by the Tiger Lion tribe.

What's more, Lu Zhan is not Luo Zhen, and he doesn't have a Tai Sui who is full of life energy and can hang people to death. Seeing that the time is almost up, Lu Zhan is planning to get a little more red frost to fill the gap in the last animal skin backpack and leave.

Who knew he had just taken a step, the trousers were grabbed by someone, and looking down, he found that the half-dead man lying on the ground stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

Lu Zhan closed his feet, and the man's skinny hand with only a handful of bones moved with Lu Zhan's movements, and he didn't know where the opponent's strength came from, so he didn't let go.

Just about to use some strength to pull the man's hand away, a hoarse and indistinct voice came into Lu Zhan's ears, "Help...help...I... ..."

Lu Zhan was startled. Although the voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but with a familiar feeling, he squatted down/turned the person lying on the ground over. Although the person was half dead, except for his hair. In addition to the knotted look messy because he hadn't combed for a long time, his face was very clean, and he could see the other's delicate facial features, but because they were too thin, those facial features were somewhat different from what Lu Zhan remembered.

"help me......"

The person's eyes opened slightly, and in the current state of the other party, I was afraid that she could not tell who was standing in front of her at all, but no matter who it was, she didn't want to give up the hope of survival.

"Please... you... take... take me... go..."

It was as if all the energy of the whole body had been exhausted before finally finishing the sentence intermittently.

Lu Zhan looked at her silently, and for a long time, he called the other party's name, "Achun?"

The man's hand holding Lu Zhan's trousers stiffened, as if he wanted to open his eyes to see the person in front of him. She tried several times without success. She opened and closed her lips a few times, trembling slightly, but there was no sound. Issued to.

If he hadn't met here, I'm afraid Lu Zhan would have forgotten the person in front of him. If he remembers correctly, Achun and Luka would have become a partner before the Black Panther tribe migrated.
