Drinking the liquid in the gourd gives a cool feeling, very comfortable, it seems to dispel a lot of fatigue from running one after another, and the mind is more awake, and the refreshing feeling of the whole body makes the bones want to shake.
"How is it? Do you feel okay?" Asuo came over and threw a fruit to Shao Xuan, "This is not bad."
Shao Xuan didn't know which plants could be eaten and which could not be eaten, so he never took action. When he left the water point just now, he noticed Asuo and a few people walking around in a circle, it seemed that they were going to pick fruit.
"These are all good things!" Aso said, "It's not a big deal, after we eat these, the improvement is faster. There is a saying in the advance team."
Lowering his voice, Asuo continued: "Only those who have joined the advance team can become high-level totem warriors. Every high-level warrior in the tribe has stayed in the advance team."
Most of the plants here are more than a hundred years old. Some fruits and plant juices also have a certain degree of effect on the human body. Even if the soldiers can't tell their specific feelings, they can perceive the effects of the things they eat. benefit.
"Can't you bring some back to the tribe?" Shao Xuan asked.
"It's not that easy!" Asuo grimaced, "I want to bring some back to my younger siblings, but I can't."
It's not that the advance team brought by the previous bosses has not tried it, but using ice-cold, or digging out the roots and soil, etc. will not work, as long as you leave here, after a day or two, the things you bring out will rot. , deteriorated. dry? Not everything can be used this way.
"Up to now, there are very few that can be brought out. They are among the tasks that Wu Fa has given them, but some of them are not easy to find. It depends on the time. Flowers, fruits, etc., if you miss them, you have to wait another year. There are some plants, even if you wait for it all your life, you may not be able to wait any longer, you can only find another one."
Shao Xuan was silent.
It seems that some things here take hundreds of years to bear fruit or have to take hundreds of years to be effective, while more plants die immediately after leaving this land and cannot survive in other places. Therefore, the method of planting may have been thought of long ago, but it may not be effective, so that until now, the tribe can only take the initiative to come to this place that is both dangerous and treasure.
The glory of the advance team is to serve the tribe. The medicine used by the tribesmen when they are sick, and the medicine used by the witch to treat the wounds, etc., are all searched and brought back by the people of the advance team, and no one can deny their contribution.
In addition to this honor, joining the advance team can taste many medicinal plants that cannot be taken away, which is also of great benefit to the development and improvement of the warriors themselves.
Therefore, some people who once joined the advance team and then quit due to injury or old age will tell their children and grandchildren to work hard to improve and try to join the advance team. They know that these people will be stronger in the future, and they are also a group of elites with the most development potential in the entire tribe.
It's just that the current rule in the tribe is that the leader of the advance team decides. Generally speaking, Wu will not ask questions, and only in special cases like Shao Xuan, Wu will pay attention.
Most of the time, the big boss will choose people who have a good relationship and acquaintance. These people are also strong supporters of the big bosses vying for the leadership.
And after the selected people come in and feel the benefits, who wants to quit
Nobody wants to.
If one more person comes in, other people may be kicked out. Even if the hunting team is the big boss, the rules set by the ancestors are restricted. The members of the advance team should not exceed one-fifth of the number of the hunting team, which is probably that generation. The leader of the group had learned a lesson, and only then did the leader and the witch set this rule together.
Thinking about it this way, Shao Xuan knew why some people in the advance team looked at him so delicately at first, that was not just looking down on Shao Xuan's strength, but also being defensive.
And Shao Xuan noticed that most of the people here live on the mountain, and very few are on the mountainside.
Mai and the others are not qualified to join the advance team? Naturally, there are, but if the boss doesn't speak, Mai can't enter.
Absolute fairness cannot exist. Even Shao Xuan just happened to borrow the light of his ancestors, and it happened that the results of Ta leading the team had not been very good, so he was pulled in. If it wasn't for the reason of the ancestors, as a child who came out of the cave, plus Shao Xuan and Lao Ke learned the trap lasso, the tower would be even less attractive. Unless Shao Xuan is really amazing in the future, he will also be excluded from the tower. Beyond the advance team.
The better the better, the worse the worse. The development on the mountain and down the mountain has probably already exceeded the original imagination of the ancestors. While people at the bottom of the mountain are thinking about how to get more food, some people on the mountain may be thinking about how to get more benefits.
When there is no threat from other tribes, infighting is certain, and exclusion is inevitable, but it is not obvious on the surface.
After taking a few sips of the water taken out from the plant, Shao Xuan looked around. It is relatively high here, and you can see strangely shaped plants in the distance.
"What is that?" Shao Xuan asked Aso, pointing over there.
Ah Suo glanced over there and smiled maliciously, "That is the human head tree. Every tree grows after eating a human head!"
Shao Xuan did not make a sound, nor was he frightened, he just looked over there. No wonder it is called the Human Head Tree, it really looks like a human head, and the long "hair" blows away in the wind. As for eating human heads or something, Shao Xuan doesn't believe it.
Seeing that Shao Xuan was not frightened, Asuo felt bored, but continued: "It's a pity that it hasn't bloomed at this time. When the head tree blooms, there are such big flowers growing on it, it's very beautiful!"
Shao Xuan: "..."
According to what Asuo said, Shao Xuan imagined for a moment, but he still couldn't imagine how good-looking a human head covered with all kinds of giant flowers would be.
"The place where the jumping fruit tree grows is just around the corner. You can just stand farther away later, don't get close." Aso said.
"I know." Shao Xuan still had this self-knowledge.
After a short rest, the tower motioned the team to move towards the location of the jumping fruit tree.
Going forward, the trees are sparser and less dense, and you can see the scene ahead without standing on a high place.
The Leaping Fruit Tree Aso mentioned looks a bit like an enlarged weeping willow. The difference is that each drooping branch is covered with round fruits, each of which is the size of a fist.
Seeing that everyone was breathing lightly, Shao Xuan also lowered his sense of existence. Thinking about it, that kind of tree is very sensitive to sound.
Ta raised his finger and pointed at Shao Xuan, then opened his palm and pressed it, indicating that Shao Xuan would stay here later and hide behind the tree trunk.
Shao Xuan nodded, indicating that he knew. It's just that he felt like something bad was about to happen. He wanted to talk about it, but the other team members were waiting for Ta's instructions, and Ta didn't pay any attention to him.
After looking around, the tower waved his hand, and twenty people rushed towards that direction from the bushes like lightning, with their toes lightly dangling on the ground, running fast but barely making a sound, surrounding the jumping fruit trees. trend.
However, when he was approaching the jumping fruit tree, Shao Xuan heard the tower suddenly roar: "Withdraw!"
The others did not hesitate, even if someone was about to touch the tree, but because of the tower's sound, they quickly withdrew decisively. And the fruit on the tree that was originally growing on the branches, but because of the tower's sound, a part of the fruit was frightened and quickly detached from the branches, shooting towards the surrounding like arrows, and ran away.
Shao Xuan didn't know what was going on, and saw that the tower led the people to withdraw in a hurry, and the next moment, Shao Xuan was carried.
The group ran in a hurry and seemed to be avoiding something. When Shao Xuan was mentioned, he looked back and found that there was something floating in the air.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the distance with Shao Xuan and others has shortened a lot with those things.
Shao Xuan was led to climb up a tall plant, and a group of five warriors pulled the thick leaves on both sides together to form a narrow and enclosed space. When they pulled the leaves, Shao Xuan could still hear the crackling sound like when a plank was broken.
At the last moment when the blades were drawn together, Shao Xuan caught a glimpse of what was blown over by the wind. Like a dandelion, it has soft and fluffy "white hairs", but those white hairs are longer, each one or two palms long.
It was densely packed, in the sky and in the woods, flying everywhere, and there was a sound of puff in the distance.
After all the gaps are closed, not much light from the outside can penetrate the thick leaves, the inside is very dark, and the vision is not clear.
There was also a sense of tension in the enclosed space. Shao Xuan could hear the rapid breathing of the people next to him, thinking that the rush to escape just now consumed a lot of energy.
Not only other people, Shao Xuan also felt the danger, his eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help tilting his head back a little.
Just thinking about it, Shao Xuan suddenly heard the sound of puff puff around, and along with these sounds, white fluff pierced the thick leaves like thorns, one of which was only close to Shao Xuan's eyes. half distance.
