Picking up a horned ox's hind leg, he pushed the fat-covered part to his mouth. With a hard bite, he tore off a large piece of thick meat on the leg. After chewing hard in the mouth full of sharp teeth, the sliced meat was swallowed in one gulp.
Man is 235cm tall and weighs more than 350kg. He is an adult male of the El tribe. It is covered with thick down, which makes it not afraid of cold weather. He wears a composite battle armor made of bones and fur of mutant beasts, but one piece of skin and one piece of bone are randomly stitched together with threads made of bone needles and thick plant fibers. It is more decorative than defensive. Come more important.
In fact, such combat armor is a symbol of warriors in the El tribe, and warriors have a status second only to the patriarch in this barbarian tribe. Highly revered, warriors are given priority in the distribution of women and food.
Man is not only a soldier, but also the captain of this patrol team of about ten people.
Another warrior handed Man a cowhide bag, made of horned ox hide, filled with the favorite spirit of the El people. There is no El tribe who doesn't like wine. Of course, with their current brewing technology, they can't make the kind of strong wine in the cowhide bag.
The spirits are provided by the garrison in Asgard, and I really like this drink. After drinking it, you will feel hot all over your body, as if you have endless energy.
It's a pity that the patriarch Kos suddenly slaughtered those garrison members not long ago, and announced a break with Asgard. Man didn't know what the patriarch was thinking, and didn't intend to know, it only knew that in this way, there would not be much wine left in the clan. Drink a little less, and it can't drink like before, and now it can only drink in small sips.
After taking a sip of strong wine, the volatilization of alcohol made Man's whole body hot, and he uttered a few vague syllables from his mouth, which roughly meant "happy" when translated into human language.
The El people have developed their own language, of course, a language composed of simple syllables cannot express complex meanings. But simple communication is already possible, and the emergence of language has made cooperation possible, which is also one of the manifestations of alien wisdom. The guards in Asgard can communicate with them by learning their languages, but the languages produced by each alien race are different, and it is impossible for humans to learn all the languages of other races.
After taking a sip of wine, Man yelled at the eight or nine soldiers behind him. After the simple and rough syllables sounded, the patrol team ended their short rest. Holding rough iron knives and axes, they stood up with their clumsy bodies, and started the next patrol work under Man's command. .
The El tribe has occupied a small old-time shelter in this rugged mountainous area. Although there are water purification units for human use, it is a pity that the El tribe is not smart enough to use these high-tech equipment. It wasn't until the arrival of the Asgard guards and with the help of humans that the El tribe knew that there was a treasure hidden in their lair.
In turbulent times, clean water is comparable to gold, even more precious than gold.
Where there is water, there is everything.
Likewise, the presence of water attracts everything.
Over the years, many nearby aliens have taken a fancy to the water purification unit in the El base. In the past five years, there have been conflicts where three different races joined forces to snatch the base of the El clan. However, the strength of the El tribe and the assistance of the Asgard garrison personnel made the El tribe survive in that war. Therefore, patrols like Mannow, the El tribe have stopped from the last moment for nearly a decade.
Especially this sudden break with Asgard made such inspections very necessary. The El tribe has no doubts about the vengeance of the human race. In their view, these human-shaped monkeys will definitely not just let it go.
Patrol is a tedious and tedious job, if the members of the patrol team can get more resources than ordinary soldiers, Man would not want to do this job. But this does not prevent Man from deserting while walking. Man has already begun to imagine that he will use the liver of horned ox for dinner at night. The liver of horned ox is fat and fat. An irresistible fragrance.
After dinner, it is natural to mate with several of their partners. This is one of Man's favorite sports, second only to cutting off the prey's head. Through this most primitive exercise, man can not only get pleasure, but also breed offspring. It's just that no matter which alien race, the chance of breeding is very low, completely inferior to those uncivilized mutant beasts, or even ordinary humans.
It seems to be due to some mysterious rules of nature, like ability users, or aliens, or abyssal creatures like Angie Gullit. The more powerful life beings are, the lower their reproductive capacity is, so as to maintain the balance between the global biological chains.
Even so, Man still insists on doing this primitive exercise every day. It was an act guided by instinct beyond wisdom. At this moment, Man's distracted head suddenly became sober. In the cold air, Man smelled a special smell.
Human taste!
Man immediately made a gesture, and the members of the patrol team dispersed immediately. They swiftly climbed up the nearby giant trees that were too tall, and quickly used the lush branches and leaves of the giant trees and the white snow to hide their whereabouts.
A moment later, two human men dressed as adventurers appeared under Man's sight. The two humans were talking, and stopped to take out a map from time to time to compare the surrounding environment. One of them, they pointed their fingers towards a certain direction in the mountainous area, which was where the base of the El family was located. The intention of human beings is obvious, which is the idea of attacking the base of the El family.
Whether it was out of revenge or other motives, Man was not prepared to let these two humans go back alive. But it didn't do it right away, even though Man's intelligence was not as developed as its muscles, but it also knew that it was impossible for only two humans to come to this mountainous area where the El tribe was located. This place is far away from the human city, and is regarded as a wild land by human beings. Being able to come here shows that these two humans must have companions behind them.
Pretty ready to catch them all.
After the two humans walked away, he uttered a few weird syllables. One of the team members immediately jumped off the tree and ran towards the base of the El clan. Man asked people to report back to the base, and at the same time he would leave a mark so that the reinforcements from the base could track them.
After doing all this, Man yelled a few more times, followed all the El people down the ancient tree, and followed them far away according to the human smell remaining in the air.
After walking around in the mountains for more than half an hour, I saw a few anti-radiation tents quite far away. It found a human camp, which made Man grimace. Judging from the number of tents, there are about thirty humans stationed in the camp. There were not many of them, but not many. If they were just ordinary soldiers, Man's team could wipe out all the humans in the camp.
It was already evening, and several humans were discussing something in the camp. Although Man couldn't understand human language, he could roughly recognize a word or two after being in contact with the guards for a long time. These words contained the meanings of "water" and "slave", and was quite furious that these humans paid attention to their water and their tribe.
Man decided to kill these arrogant humans by surprise.
So after those people finished their discussion and got into the anti-radiation tent, they uttered a syllable in a low voice. The patrol members immediately spread out, using the cover of grass and giant trees to form a siege around the camp, and then they put down the heavy weapons in their hands, and took something like a leg bone of some kind of beast from their back or waist.
These things are quiveres, and in the quiver are bone arrows quenched with poison. The venom comes from the poisonous glands in the body of the El tribe. When it touches the bone arrow, it can anesthetize the opponent or their biological nerves when they hit them.
Both knives, axes and arrows are made by the El people themselves, and their intelligence level is not enough to produce gunpowder weapons, but these cold weapons are also very powerful in the hands of the El people. I only heard a few strange tremors suddenly sounded in the camp, followed by short screams. It is quite known that at least a dozen humans have been injured by arrows, so the remaining people are not opponents of its patrol team.
If these humans could be killed, the patriarch Keqi would definitely give it more food and women, and even let it replace the hateful Hei, and it was possible to become the warrior leader of the El clan. Therefore, Man unhesitatingly launched the signal to attack.
The warriors of the El tribe immediately put away their quiver, instead took a huge knife and ax and rushed into the tent with roars.
Man Chong was at the forefront. It swung a double-edged steel ax that it made, and it tore open the anti-radiation tent with a single stroke. But when Man and the other two team members squeezed into the tent, there was no one in sight. Just before its dull head realized that it had fallen into the trap, the barrage suddenly surged from outside, tearing the tent into thousands of butterflies!
Blood is flying.
Man looked at the turquoise blood that kept popping out of himself and his team members, and the pain told it that this was a well-planned trap. Man roared, using the steel ax in his hand as a shield. It's a pity that the area of the steel ax is not enough to completely cover the pretty tall body, so the pretty can only protect important positions such as the head and heart, and evacuate in the opposite direction of the barrage.
However, at a distance of ten steps, a team member had already fallen to the ground. Its head had been hit by at least four or five bullets, and it was blasted into a paste.
The intensity of the battle was beyond Man's expectations, and the firearms used by humans were surprisingly powerful. At least I quite remembered the rifles that the guards were playing with. The bullets were not powerful enough to easily damage the tough bodies of the El people as they are now.
While retreating to the edge of the tent, another team member also fell. Man was very angry, but knew that he was no match for the threat of many powerful rifles. Just when it was about to rush out of the tent, Man suddenly found that a pair of slender but smooth legs were encircling its chest at some point, and then Man felt itchy around his ears, as if someone was blowing into its ears.
The next moment, Man, who hadn't reacted yet, felt a chill on his neck, and saw a dagger painted black by something in his eyes.
There was a small opening in Man's neck, and it quickly covered it, only to find that the wound continued to expand. Just now, the dagger did not simply slash, but added a special technique of shock, which made the muscles of the man split. What's even more frightening is that the dagger is coated with a strange toxin, which makes Man's strength disappear quickly.
The huge body fell to the ground with a thud, and he tried his best to open his eyes wide, barely seeing a quiet human girl.
She was wearing a short shirt and shorts, with only simple combat leather armor covering her chest, elbows, and knees. This is a combat uniform custom-made to minimize the weight of the body, and even if it is a hit, the girl's face does not have the slightest expression of excitement. She looked at Man with a blank face. This was the last picture Man saw.
The sudden gunshots startled a large number of forest birds, and also made Hei's heart beat violently.
Hei's figure is shorter than Man's, but his muscles are tighter, making him look explosive. Hei's fur is silver-gray, indicating that it has moved from middle age to old age, and in five years, whether Hei is willing or not, it will have to give up the position of warrior leader. The deterioration of body and strength cannot be prevented by Huo's almost cruel daily training.
But at least for now, Hei is the most powerful warrior in the El tribe except for the patriarch Kos.
The appearance of gunshots made Hei feel a palpitation, and a flash of uneasiness flashed in his heart. Man probably won't be able to come back. Not long ago, it received a report from the team members returning from the Man faction, knowing that there was a human team that went deep into the mountainous area where the El race was located. Hei immediately arranged another team of about 20 people to rush for reinforcements, but until now, no news has been sent back.
Looking at the sky as red as blood, Hei seems to have received some omens. After the last rays of daylight had faded in the western horizon, the mountains were enveloped in darkness. There seemed to be a terrifying demon hidden in the darkness, staring at the base of the El family, which made Hei very uneasy.
At this time, a series of sounds sounded behind him. Hei looked back, and saw the patriarch Kos strode out from the entrance of the base.
Kos was a young El, and the mightiest warrior. It has dark red hair, and Kos is almost invincible, so the clansmen call it "Blood Dusk". It means that wherever it goes, it is the end of life.
Kos is holding his long-handled warhammer upside down. The totem of a beast is engraved on this warhammer, which is the status symbol of the patriarch of the El clan. The warhammer was dragged by Kos and rubbed against the ground, so the light of the fire was so clear under the dark sky.
Kos had clearly heard gunshots in the mountains, and in a few simple syllables, the young patriarch asked Hei what happened.
Hei told the truth.
After hearing Hei's report, Kos was very angry. It swung its war hammer around and smashed around, until the mountain where the base was located trembled, and the angry patriarch stopped.
Kos said to Hei in the unique language of the El people: "Send troops, conquer!"
Hei sighed, Kos's strength and bravery were unquestionable. But at the same time, youthful impulses are also unavoidable. Kos, who is still young, has not gained wisdom from the precipitation of time. Hei felt the need to remind the young patriarch: "Humans, trap. Brave patriarch, the night is not our hunting ground, we need to wait for dawn."
Time took away Hei's physical strength, but gave it mature wisdom. At least by using his native language, Hei can be coherent and express more meanings, which is something that even Coss cannot do.
Kos let out a few growls from his mouth, then pointed to the mountain, and then patted Hei on the shoulder.
Hei knew what it meant, that the humans in the mountains should be handed over to Hei. Hei nodded and patted his chest to make the soldier's promise. Only then did Kos leave in peace, Hei looked at the dark mountainous area again, and called the guards, asking them to send more people on duty tonight.
The night is long and short.
Time is shortened in joy and lengthened in boredom.
For the warriors of the night watch, the night is always long. They lit a fire at the entrance of the base to act as a light, to dispel the darkness, but also to warn the uninvited guests in the dark. Most of the mutant beasts wandering in the dark will subconsciously stay away from the territory of the El family, but it is destined that some visitors will not be deterred by mere fire.
An hour before dawn, it is the darkest hour of the day. At the same time, it is also the time when the creature is most tired.
Of the five or six El warriors guarding the exit, at least three of them have already dozed off, while the remaining two are trying to hold up their heavy eyelids, even though they only have one eye.
One of the soldiers couldn't help but yawned, but something suddenly appeared in his open mouth.
As for what was added, it didn't know, because a bullet with full kinetic energy directly hit its big mouth, and penetrated its brain at the same time. The powerful shock force tore the muscles in its head, so from the perspective of its companions, half of the El warrior's head suddenly flew into the air.
Obviously, the attacker used noise reduction equipment, otherwise he would not be able to kill the soldier silently.
The soldier's companion just wanted to warn, but before he opened his mouth, his head was shaken, followed by no consciousness. So it didn't know that its head above the big mouth exploded into a flower of flesh and blood. In terms of splendor, it is not inferior to its companions who were killed before.
As for the other three soldiers who were dozing off, they would also be treated indiscriminately. However, before the killer in the dark could pull the trigger, there was an earth-shattering roar at the entrance of the base. I saw a silver-haired El warrior striding out, and roared towards the place where the fire was out of reach, so the alien warriors in the base came out one after another, making the peaceful night boil with it .
"Damn it, it's a fall short." In the darkness, someone said so, and before the end of dawn, the killers retreated quietly.
That night, Hei did not fall asleep. It was worried that humans would attack at night, and it turned out that it guessed right. If it hadn't been alerted early, when all the guards were killed, the sleeping El people would have been slaughtered.
The patriarch Kos, who rushed over after hearing the news, unusually did not yell when he saw the bloody corpses of the two guards. But in the one eye on that face, there was a blood-like flame burning. Kos decided not only to kill these hateful humans, but also to warn other humans in the most cruel way.
Anyone who violates our border will be killed!
