Alien space

Chapter 9

When we returned to Sheng's residence, the sky had already darkened.

"Why have you been gone for so long?"

asked.

His eavesdropping plan failed and hit a wall.

After all, what he can think of, Qing can also think of.

Qing didn't respond to his question, but exchanged glances with Chen Jianchu indifferently.

Chen Jianchu: "I came back to collect things."

The voice was slightly startled: "What are you collecting things for?"

Chen Jianchu: "Go to Mo there."

Voice: "How do you know Mo? Why did you go to him?"

Chen Jianchu: "Training."

He stared at Chen Jianchu.

As soon as he turned his mind, he thought of Qing.

"Brother, is that you?"

Qing was extremely calm: "What's wrong with me?"

"You threatened him! Otherwise, why would he suddenly want to go to Mo's place?"

Qing chuckled: "This is the exchange he wants to make with me, is it my fault?"

From a certain point of view, what Qing said was indeed correct.

"What did you exchange?"

Chen Jianchu didn't have many things in the first place, and after being destroyed by the Bone Beast, there was not much left, and it didn't matter whether he cleaned it up or not.

So that when he said this sentence, he had packed up his things and turned around to leave, but he still grabbed him and insisted on him answering.

Chen Jianchu stepped out of the door with half a foot. He looked sideways and looked down, watching the voice grabbing his hand, and said calmly: "This is a matter between us, it is inconvenient to disclose."

After speaking, he withdrew his hand and strode away without looking back.

The voice quickly caught up and said, "Then I will see you off."

Chen Jianchu didn't stop walking, and coldly refused: "No need."

Chen Jianchu's figure quickly merged into the darkness, and his voice was so incredible that he couldn't figure it out.

"Everyone is gone, what else are you looking at?"

Qing folded her arms and sat down on the wall chair, her two long legs crossed casually.

He closed the door with a sound, and sat down opposite Qing, without saying a word, looking a little depressed.

It's just a person who hasn't been together for a long time and always faces him with a stinky face, as for?

Qing frowned and said, "He didn't even pay attention to you, are you so interesting?"

Keep your face away and ignore Qing.

"If you want to lose your temper, go to him and see if he ignores you."

Qing choked coldly.

squeak-squeak-

Sheng stood up suddenly, and the movement was relatively large, and the wooden chair legs rubbed against the ground to make a harsh sound.

"You just look down on him! Deliberately target him! Don't want him to be with me!"

Qing never expected that Sheng would yell at him because of Chen Jianchu.

Qing's complexion was frosty, and he said coldly: "Yes, you can do this because of him now, what about after that?"

Haru's gaze and Sheng's gaze intersected.

"He is so weak, will you die to protect him then?"

The voice slackened.

"what are you talking about?"

Qing stared at him, her words were cold: "Did I say something wrong?"

"He will only drag you down. I don't want to see him drag you down to death. It's best to stay away from him as soon as possible."

"But Yan..."

"Don't talk about inflammation, okay? I'm your elder brother. I'll always be the one who cherishes you the most. Do you understand?"

The voice stood still, and there was no echo.

"Don't be stupid again, okay? Sheng, I don't want to lose you too."

Sheng lowered his eyes.

Chen Jianchu carried his bag and walked alone.

The night sky is full of stars, and the gray clouds are slowly drifting. Tonight's moon is bright and huge, and the craters on the surface are clearly visible.

There are few people active at night, there are no street lights here, the roads are dark, and they are not nocturnal animals, and their night vision is not strong.

Because it is in the tribe, the security is relatively high, and it is entirely the night watchmen outside who have eliminated many crises.

Chen Jianchu came to Mo's residence safely.

When he came, Mo was making arrows and arrowheads, and the kiln was full of heat.

"Come back so soon."

Mo said.

Chen Jianchu responded lightly, and put his eyes on the fire.

"I'll take you to hunt some gadgets tomorrow, try your sensitivity, just shoot the target, it's a waste of your understanding."

This progress is too fast, he has only just started for a day, and he will go directly to the field to hunt live animals.

Chen Jianchu: "Don't you need to practice for a few more days?"

Mo stopped beating the iron object, looked at him and said, "What? Are you not confident in yourself? Or are you afraid?"

Chen Jianchu shook his head: "No."

Although he didn't know what Mo was planning, Chen Jianchu had no choice but to follow suit.

The next day, before dawn, Chen Jianchu was woken up by Mo.

The forest is foggy, and it is easy to get lost in it.

There was not enough light, Chen Jianchu could only make do with seeing clearly. There was no clear path in the forest, and the ground was almost covered with plants.

Chen Jianchu didn't know where he was going, and followed Mo's footsteps, shuttling through the unknown flora. There were many thorn balls on his body, which were densely packed. After rubbing it clean, it was soon stained with other things, so he simply ignored it.

The morning dew is still hanging on the tip of the huge leaf, and it is about to fall. A fleshy insect with a color very similar to the leaf is covering the back of the leaf. If you don't look carefully, you will really ignore it.

The meat worm is not small, about [-] centimeters long, with huge compound eyes in light green color, sparse fluff on its body, and centipedes hidden under its abdomen.

"shoot."

Mo said.

Chen Jianchu took off his bow and arrow and aimed at the meat worm.

call out--!

The arrow pierced the blade, but not the flesh worm.

The meat worm's vigilance ability was not bad, and while the arrow was fired, its centipedes moved quickly, avoiding this catastrophe.

The compound eyes captured the picture, it found the bow and arrow in Chen Jianchu's hand, and was stunned by his strong breath, roaring with its ugly teeth.

Chen Jianchu didn't wait for Mo's next command, he drew his arrow and shot straight, the sharp arrow pierced through the air, and stuck firmly into the compound eyes of the meat worm.

Blind in one eye, the meat worm was in unbearable pain, and Chen Jianchu's next arrow followed.

This time, the meat worm learned its lesson, it opened its mouth to spit out sticky silk, and stopped the third arrow in mid-air.

Chen Jianchu's repeated provocations aroused the anger of the meat worm, and the centipedes crawled between the branches and leaves, spitting sticky silk at him one by one.

What is the function of sticky silk, Chen Jianchu didn't know, he subconsciously wanted to hide.

Mo said, "Don't hide, just shoot it."

Chen Jianchu stopped dodging, opened his bow and fired arrows, none of the sticky threads spit out by the meat worm touched him, because they all fell halfway.

There is no doubt that it was done by Mo.

At this moment, Chen Jianchu understood what Mo wanted to do.

He wanted to test Chen Jianchu's reaction ability and accurate prediction. It was not about dodging, but attacking, predicting the direction of the prey's movement, and whether he could shoot at the fleeing living thing.

Chen Jianchu kept calm and kept shooting long arrows.

At the beginning, he always failed and couldn't hit the target. As the number of times increased, he learned from experience, corrected his mistakes, and hit all the subsequent arrows.

Even if the shooting position is not as expected, at least it is an improvement.

The tortured meat worm finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. Its body was filled with wooden arrows, and yellow and blue juice gushed out.

"Kill it."

Mo said.

Chen Jianchu looked up at Mo, holding the bow tightly in his hand.

Mo laughed: "Why? Don't you dare? When you shot so many arrows at it, didn't you think that one of them might kill it?"

Chen Jianchu didn't speak.

Mo: "I know you dare, so kill it."

A lot of the centipedes of the flesh worm were broken, and the remaining legs could not support its huge body. It could no longer stand, but could only wriggle, dragging its riddled body to escape.

Chen Jianchu squinted at it.

It was even more urgent, crawling forward like crazy.

Chen Jianchu raised the bow in his hand, aiming the arrow at the meat worm's head.

The flesh worm seemed to know that he was going to die, and wailed repeatedly, hoping to gain mercy. Its movements were so large that it broke a few legs.

puff--

The arrowhead pierced through the head, and the wriggling flesh worm stopped and stopped struggling.

It's dead.

Satisfied with the result, Mo patted Chen Jianchu on the shoulder.

"You did very well."

Chen Jianchu was expressionless.

The meat worm in front of it turned over out of thin air, revealing its belly. The current centipede is only a section, and some feet are still connected to it.

Hearing a swish, a big opening was cut in the abdomen, and the filth inside flowed out, and the sticky juice dripped all over the floor.

Chen Jianchu saw the undigested food residue in the belly of the meat worm, not the leaves, but the legs of arthropods.

If you look closely, you can find that there are many insects, some of which are digested so that only the head remains, and some have unidentifiable organs.

"It was hunting just now, you know?"

do not know.

He thought he was eating leaves.

"Do you know why I asked you to kill it?"

Chen Jianchu thought about several reasons, but denied them all, and shook his head.

"I don't want to kill it because I think it's cruel, but I want you to be able to kill it thoroughly. Here, your pity is nothing, but it may harm you. The law of survival is the law of the jungle. No matter right or wrong, as long as the other party is stronger than you, you can kill it." Killing innocent people indiscriminately, and there will be no punishment, the fault is only on you, the fault is that you are too weak."

Meat worms be damned?

Does the insect it eats deserve to die?

The basis of biological survival is cruelty.

"Let's go."

The lush branches and leaves parted from the grass, leaned to the sides and lay down, and forced a small path.

Mo stepped onto the trail.

There was no intention of waiting for Chen Jianchu to make a speech.

However, Chen Jianchu didn't want to publish it either.

He stepped up to keep up, and the branches and leaves that fell to both sides behind him merged little by little and returned to their original shape.

In the next day, Mo asked Chen Jianchu to shoot and kill many animals.

at dusk.

Chen Jianchu shot and killed a cloven-hoofed animal, but it was not that big, the size of a fox.

Mo picked up the hind leg of the prey and said, "Let's eat this tonight."

After speaking, he found a place without grass, sat on the root of the tree, and ordered Chen Jianchu to pick up the branches.

When Chen Jianchu came back with a pile of wooden branches and a circle of grass, Mo had already dealt with the prey.

"Build a wooden frame and come out."

Chen Jianchu understood what he meant, and started to build a wooden frame, leaving a hole at the bottom to put the grass ring in.

Mo took out a pebble from his pocket and threw it to Chen Jianchu: "Use this to start a fire."

The pebbles are slippery and warm in the hand, not clammy.

Chen Jianchu has seen people of other races use stones to start fires, which are very similar to modern lighters, and flames will burst out as soon as they are rubbed.

He knew what it was, Sheng had told him.

Pebbles are energy accumulators, not ordinary stones. The reason why they can wipe out fire is because they have the ability of fire inside.

Obviously, Yan is a fire ability.

In order to make it easier for the clansmen to get fire and use it, Yan deliberately went to the northwest region to bring back energy accumulators, and injected supernatural powers into them, and an energy accumulator can last for a long time.

I heard that in the past, they did not make fire in this way. It seems that a kind of plant broke open and contained sparks in it, but the latter plant became extinct.

Chen Jianchu ignited the grass circle, and the flames flew high immediately after his hand left, and the fire was fierce.

Mo threw the processed ingredients into the fire and roasted them.

"what's your name?"

Mo asked.

"Chen Jianchu."

"Your name is a bit long, it's hard to remember and it's hard to call."

"Ah."

Mo raised Erlang's legs and leaned against the trunk of the tree.

The two were silent.

The only sound was the creaking of the branches of the fire.

When Mo opened his mouth to speak.

Chen Jianchu was still fiddling with his bow and arrow.

Mo said: "I followed all the way, aren't you tired?"

Only then did Chen Jianchu stop and looked up to look around.

A figure came out of the darkness.

Yes sound.

He sounded a little shy, and he walked over slowly.

"You're still running around with injuries on your body, do you think you're recovering too quickly?"

Mo said.

He retorted loudly: "No!"

"Well, what are you doing with us?"

"I'm here to return things, I'm sorry to bother you!"

He argued loudly, gritted his teeth secretly, walked quickly to Chen Jianchu, and handed over the calyx bag.

"You forgot to take the broken crystal."

Chen Jianchu actually didn't take it away on purpose because he seemed to like it very much.

It's just that he didn't expect Sheng to send it to him specially.

Sheng's hands were still wrapped in cloth strips, and there was a faint scent of medicine on his body.

Chen Jianchu pursed his lips, and he reached out to take the calyx bag.

"Thank you."

Hearing Chen Jianchu's thanks, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably at the first moment, and he quickly pressed the corners of his mouth, showing an unfriendly look.

"Let's go now when it's over."

Mo said.

Shocked by his driving away: "Why are you doing this? Don't you let me eat?"

Mo was merciless: "What are you going to do? You didn't do anything."

He didn't make a sound.

So, he deserves to be alone.

Sheng didn't say anything, turned around and left.

After a while, Mocai said, "He has already left."

Chen Jianchu raised his eyes.

Mo: "You don't want to keep it?"

Chen Jianchu lowered his eyes, poked the roasted breast meat with a branch, and pursed his lips slightly.

Seeing that he was not interested, Mo didn't mention it again.

The extinguished fire left only black charcoal, and there were still orange-red sparks at the fracture. It didn't take long to get dark when it came into contact with the air, leaving only light smoke.

From now on, there is no need to teach him Salak language.

That's not a bad thing.

Chen Jianchu thought.
