The thick lips of the big monster trembled twice, and the upper and lower lips were tightly closed, and it turned into the look of not intending to talk to anyone before.
This is obviously an unworldly monster. Next, as if to avoid revealing more information by speaking, he stood up with his hands on his knees, looking at the fact that he wanted to leave.
But his wound was really serious. With just such a movement, the wound that had been barely closed before opened up again, and blood flowed out again.
At this moment, he felt a light tap on his leg.
The monster looked back impatiently, but only saw Ji Huan and others behind him who were quite a distance away from him. Looking down, he saw that the one who knocked him before was a little monster that was not as tall as his calf.
"Wipe it for you." The little gloved paw held a green handkerchief that was almost faded from washing, and the black egg said to the huge monster above with its little head raised.
His lips trembled again, and this time, the big monster finally opened his mouth: "Such a good cloth, if it is wiped with blood, it will not be washed clean."
Heidan smiled sweetly: "It's okay, there are already holes in the handkerchief!"
Handkerchiefs with holes can be thrown away at any time, in other words, they are tattered. Black egg, can you tell people so frankly that what you gave is rubbish
Jihuan was a little speechless.
but-
"Then... Thank you." The big monster nodded, and bent down to take the junk that the little monster handed over.
I have to say that the things that come out of the black eggs are clean even if they are tattered. Although the little monster still doesn't know about perfume, but now every time he washes his handkerchief, he secretly uses some chirp soap. Fragrant~
The holey handkerchief that the big monster took over was fragrant, with the fragrance of soap that Jihuan's family used to do. But before the handkerchief, the big man reached out and grabbed a few handfuls of snow in the snow, used the snow to wipe the blood off his skin, and finally cleaned the last traces of the skin with the handkerchief.
The blood was finally dug a pit in the snow and buried to the deepest point.
Although it is impersonal, this monster is obviously an experienced hunter.
Grandpa handed him another piece of raw meat after he had healed the wound.
He ate two of the monster meat as big as a buffalo!
"I'll pay you back better." When eating the meat, the big man said in a low voice, and then a louder chewing sound drowned out his previous words.
Because Heidan and Grandpa were pulling and giving away, the big man stayed in the end.
After sending the guards away, only Jihuan's family and the big monster were left beside the warm flint, and then Ah Jin spoke.
"That monster... escaped after biting you, and other hunters chased after you, but although the monster was injured, it was faster."
Jihuan found out: A Jin called the monster that bit the big man before as a "monster".
But the big man breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good, he runs fast... fast..."
In the icy air, only the murmur of the big monster could be heard.
"Can you tell us what's going on? I'm afraid... We may do something wrong because of our unknowing." Ah Jin's voice was as calm as ever. The previous foreshadowing combined with the current atmosphere, after he finished these words After a long time, the big monster on the opposite side finally raised its head.
"The monster hunted by the three teams of monsters just now is not a monster, but my brother."
Although I heard him accidentally say it before, but when I heard him say this sentence in a positive tone, Ji Huan's heart sank slightly.
The big monster continued to say:
"We are the Kronte clan living in the extreme north. The number of clan members is not very large, and we rarely go out, but even so, we still know a little about the outside news, and we also know about the Aptuo hunting area. Twenty Four years ago, my grandmother was seriously ill. Only the big cities sold the herbal medicines. In order to buy medicine for my grandmother, my brother left home and went to the south. However, the big cities did not have the medicines we needed. Medicine is only available in Aptuo hunting ground, and my brother went to Aptuo in the end."
"And never came back."
The big man paused when he said this, and it was clearly his heartbreak.
He lowered his eyes and saw the black egg nestled between Jihuan's legs.
A small group of little monsters were sitting on Chiu Chiu's robes holding their small legs. When they heard "never come back", the little monsters should have understood and showed a worried look.
When my brother left, he was probably about the same size as this little monster, but he was not as smart as this little monster. When my brother said that he was going to buy medicine, he stupidly let my brother go.
"Ama died, and my brother didn't come back."
After that he was orphaned.
Fortunately, the monsters of the Krant family are naturally sturdy, and they have tenacious vitality even when they are young. Not to mention the help of the clan, he has grown up like this.
"When I hunted the first Bau (name of a vicious beast), I left my hometown and went to Aptuo to find my brother. This is the tenth time I have entered Aptuo. Yesterday afternoon, I found my brother's for the first time. Whereabouts, I managed to find my brother along those traces, but I found that my brother was being hunted."
"He... he actually turned into a monster!"
When it came to this, the resolute monster was obviously agitated, his fist clenched hard, and Ji Huan saw that the blue veins on his forehead burst out.
"He doesn't recognize me, and he doesn't respond to my voice. He, he's already a monster!"
"I don't know what he went through back then, and I don't know how he lived so many years, it's just... just... "
"I can't let those people hunt him away like a monster!"
The huge fist finally slammed into the ground, and through the thick layer of snow, Ji Huan seemed to hear the sound of the ice breaking down below.
Ji Huan turned his head slightly to look at A Jin beside him. It was very dark. He couldn't see the expression on A Jin's face, but he heard his voice in the dark:
"I see. We will also keep an eye on your brother's traces. If you find him, you can find me when you have trouble taking him away."
The big monster's mouth opened, but he did not reject A Jin's proposal in the end.
The next topic is a little easier.
Handing a cup of hot tea to the other party, in order to stop the big man from thinking wildly, Ji Huan asked the question that he cared about from the moment he saw him:
"Can I ask a question? Your... prototype should be very strong, right? Why do you still carry this knife in this situation?" Ji Huan pointed to the knife on the ground: "For monsters whose bodies are strong to a certain extent, Say, weapons are a drag, aren't they?"
Although he has never seen the prototype of this monster, judging from the physical condition of the monster he called his brother before, the prototype of this monster is undoubtedly very powerful!
Hearing this question, the big monster looked at the big knife on the ground, and said with a complicated expression:
"Speaking of which... more than 20 years ago, I asked my brother the same question..."
His father died early, and his elder brother, who was nearly thirty years older than him, was actually a brother and a father in his heart. As a Kronte, all the common sense he needed to master was handed over to him by his elder brother, although it was better because his elder brother left prematurely. Common sense has not yet had time to teach, but—
That knife embryo was laid in his arms by his brother the year he was born.
"My brother said that our Krants were originally monsters. People outside called us barbarians. That's why. It is said that a long time ago, we were extremely evil monsters living in the extreme north, and then suddenly one day the sky suddenly happened. After a mutation, a huge fireball fell from the sky. After that, a female Kronte who had not bred with any male suddenly gave birth to a cub. The cub could change into a human shape from the day it was born. After that, our Krants slowly changed from monsters to monsters."
"However, the blood of our family is probably really like what the monsters said outside: the blood flowing is too savage, and every once in a while there will be children born of monsters, and occasionally there will be adults who lose their minds and can no longer become monsters. , for this reason, there is a not-so-secret rule among our people: the use of weapons, never becoming a prototype."
"For us, weapons are warnings to remind us not to deform, right?"
Then his voice fell again:
"But when I saw my brother, his knife was long gone..."
In this case, Ji Huan didn't know what to say.
Everyone rested.
Jihuan's usual practice is to rest in the tent with A Jin. Grandpa and the others also have tents. Originally, he wanted to use the extra fur to set up a tent for the big man, but he refused.
"We Kront don't need additional accommodation outside of our home."
Then he sat cross-legged on the icy and snowy ground, the broadsword was in front of his crossed knees, shining brightly in the darkness.
Hei Dan fell asleep in the quilt laid out by Chiu Chiu. He spread out his body as much as possible. He wanted to warm Chiu Chiu.
If it was normal, Ji Huan would have rested now, but today he couldn't sleep a little.
In the darkness, he suddenly opened his mouth to speak:
"The difference between monsters and monsters... is the core? Because of some accumulation, monsters without cores suddenly become monsters, I can understand, but monsters that already have cores, how... how can they become monsters again?"
There is no possibility of growing a nucleus in this life, Jihuan is really difficult to understand this problem.
After a long time, Ah Jin's voice floated from the side:
"That's a good question."
"There's something wrong with this hunting ground."
"I always feel like I might get something amazing this time."
"Until then, let's be patient."
Ah Jin's voice seemed to have magic power. Although he was in a dangerous hunting ground, although his heart was full of doubts, Ah Jin's voice was so calm.
As long as he was there, everything would be fine.
Ji Huan slowly closed his eyes.
