At this time, Du Yuqi estimated that in just six or seven hours, they traveled down the river for at least 300 kilometers. This speed can be said to be amazing. The jungle here is not as humid as the tropical rainforest, but there are towering trees everywhere, covering the sky and making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, so the vegetation at the bottom of the jungle is not lush, so the light is dim, and it is difficult to see It looks rather gloomy.
After Jet landed on the shore and came to the woods, he seemed like a fish in water. He looked as casual as if he had returned to his own home, beckoning Du Yuqi to go forward, and at the same time picked some from the nearby trees. The next fungus came and ate it, and even broke a branch and inserted it into a hole in the ground, and then pulled it out and put it in the mouth after a while, looking delicious.
At first, Du Yuqi thought that Jeter liked to eat branches, but after a closer look, he found that the branches were covered with red ants, densely packed, and those who were timid would have been scared away, but Jeter soon found them again. I made an ant hole, then broke off a branch and inserted it in. When the ants were full, I pulled it out and handed it to Du Yuqi for him to eat.
Thanks to Du Yuqi's courage, seeing how Jeter was eating with gusto, he closed his eyes boldly and put the branch into his mouth, and immediately felt that his mouth was full of big ants crawling.
However, after Du Yuqi chewed hard, a stream of juice spewed out from the ant's body. It was a little sour at first, and then it had a slightly sweet taste. It was delicious, far better than Du Yuqi imagined. It is much more acceptable.
Seeing Du Yuqi eating ants very happily, Jet also smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Drifting all the way, exhausted a lot of energy, both of them felt hungry, Jeter signaled to find food , Du Yuqi stopped him, rummaged through the dimensional ring for a while, and found two buckets of old altar sauerkraut beef noodles and a few compressed military biscuits.
At this time, Du Yuqi went to ask Jeter to find some clean water, and then took out the set for boiling water in the field: an alcohol lamp and a small aluminum pot to start heating, and it didn't take long to see Jeter holding a muscular stick A lot of vines came.
When Du Yuqi was wondering, he saw a vine pulled out by him, and then he broke it, and saw clear water rushing out from the break. It turned out that what he collected was a plant called water vine. In such a jungle, wild water sources may hide deadly germs and parasites, but plants such as water vines can provide clean water sources that can be safely drunk.
After a while, a scent that must be familiar to the people on Earth, but absolutely unfamiliar to the people of Arad Continent wafted out of the forest. The two began to eat instant noodles with a snort, and then soaked the compressed general biscuits in the noodle soup. While eating, Jeter seemed to be very happy to eat. He even brought Du Yuqi's noodle soup and drank it. By the way, he also put away the plastic fork.
After they were full, they continued to walk forward. Although it was about to get dark at this time, walking in the dark forest was quite dangerous, but Jeter was an aborigine here, and the Creek tribe he belonged to was even more dangerous. It is in this area that it is completely in a dominant position, so it starts to rush all night.
In the process of rushing, Du Yuqi even heard strange "Xisuo" sounds from both sides of the road, and the sound of branches being broken, but Jeter roared loudly, or held the scimitar behind his There is a sound of impact in the scabbard, and these strange noises will disappear immediately.
Jeter told Du Yuqi that this area is the activity area of the cursed cat demon. These guys are natural predators in the dark and are very difficult to deal with.
However, the Creek tribe not only lived on hunting, but also opened up fields and planted a large number of food crops "Gusgus". The rhizome is used as a staple food (similar to radish). Du Yuqi has seen it. It is somewhat similar to cassava on earth, and the way of eating it is similar. It is probably a relative plant.
The Creek tribe only needs the mature rhizome of "Gusgus", while the cat demon likes the fruit of this thing. In such a situation where plants/food are used as a bond, there is a wonderful symbiosis between the two sides Therefore, the cat demon family can suppress the hunting desire in their hearts and live in harmony with the goblin family.
And "Gusgus" is said to be a unique product of the Creek tribe. It was cultivated from seeds found by an elder from a ruin decades ago. It is unique, and there are no other places. this thing.
After hearing what he said, Du Yuqi also paid attention to it, and found that she could indeed see a faint black shadow running and jumping like flying in the jungle, at an astonishing speed, and could faintly hear a strange murmur. It is also thanks to Jeter who explained the whole story, otherwise, if the timid people are called, even if they are not attacked by these monsters, they will be scared to death on the spot.
The two of them trekked for three or four hours in the dense forest. During this period, they also climbed mountains and ridges, jumped waterfalls, climbed vines and crossed rivers, etc. to walk a lot of straight-line distances. Finally, a place with continuous fire appeared in front of them. , it seems to cover the sunny side of the entire mountain, and the momentum is very magnificent. There are also roads on the ground, and simple totem poles are inserted on both sides of the road.
Simply put, this totem pole is actually a wooden stick with a skull on it. Of course, the wooden stick has various special patterns on it, which are highly recognizable. After entering the scope of the totem pole, it is Jeter. This tribe, the gathering place of the Creek tribe, is called "Kuwa City", which translates to "City of Reproduction".
After approaching here, Du Yuqi realized that Jeter's status in the tribe was indeed very high. When approaching Kuwa City, he had encountered many patrols one after another. These patrols were originally quite hostile to Du Yuqi, but After seeing Jeter, they all untied their weapons and saluted one after another, and some would half kneel on the ground, and at the same time, the hostility towards Du Yuqi disappeared.
