My Magic Age

The light in the tent was very dim, even though the leather curtain had been lifted and the skylight on the top of the tent was open. The afternoon sun shone in through the skylight on the top of the tent. Countless tiny dust particles were floating in that column of light, making me feel so clearly that every time I breathe, I will inhale millions of dust and bacteria into my lungs. I even have the urge to make a mask for myself.

The smell in the tent was very pungent. The small square table with low legs still had some medicine that had not cooled down, full of bitter medicine.

It was the woman who fed Raitu the broth that served it later. It was said that this woman was the fifth most favored wife around Raitu. Although I don’t think she is beautiful at all, and even has a flat and big nose, the only good thing about her is that she has a pair of big eyes, but her eyes are always a little scattered, and I can’t feel any spirit. I doubt whether the aesthetic view of the beastmen is the same as mine.

This tent may not have been cleaned for many years. The smell of the cowhide is still clearly audible after such a long time, mixed with the smell of sweat and the sour smell of men's feet. All kinds of smells mixed together, which makes me feel familiar. Ah! It smells like the old pickled cabbage beef noodles.

The women of Laitu sat at the door of the tent, holding a hooked awl in their hands and remaking a leather armor. They talked in a low voice. I vaguely heard that Laitu was planning to let his youngest son join the hunting team, but he was a little young. I have seen the child. He is almost as tall as me and should be younger than me. The women are always a little worried, but when they set their eyes on me, it seems that those views are shaken again.

The orcs still uphold the ancient tradition. Women usually do housework, take care of children, herd, collect herbs, and sew leather armor. Men are only responsible for going out hunting and fighting, so now the men who can hold weapons in the tribe are almost dead, but the women and children can still survive.

But we have to face a problem, which is also the main reason why Laitu and Gribaschin brought the tribe to the wilderness, that is, the problem of food. Kuzneng relied on his "survival instinct" to lead everyone to dig gerbils and hunt hares, pheasants and other small animals. This seems to have solved the problem of food in the tribe, but in fact, we all have to cross the entire Yelian Mountains and return to our hometown. But if we leave this grassland, it is difficult to hunt enough prey for more than 200 people in the mountains.

Before crossing the mountain in front of us, the first thing we have to do is to bring enough food. If we want to store enough meat by digging gerbils every day, I am afraid that we will not be able to save enough raw meat until autumn. We must hunt some large animals, preferably those docile one-horned bison. Just one can unload hundreds of kilograms of fresh meat, but the one-horned bison herd closest to us has also migrated to the Wild Wolf Gorge. With people like us, we absolutely dare not snatch food from the wolf's mouth.

The most common thing in the wilderness is not the large herds of one-horned bison, but the magic antelopes that come and go like the wind. They can even run faster than arrows. Ordinary hunters in the wilderness sometimes have to avoid magic antelopes when they see them, otherwise they may be unlucky enough to meet a male magic antelope in heat. The sharp antelope horns can easily pierce any ordinary leather armor, and it is not pleasant to pierce people. Only some powerful hunting groups can hunt those magic antelopes in the wilderness.

Laitu's idea is very simple. He still wants to stay in the wilderness to make a living, because there are no terrifying swamp zombies and red-faced bats here. Now, what can this small tribe do even if it returns to its hometown? Only these women and children are left. How can they deal with the magic beasts from the deep swamp? It is better to live on the edge of the wilderness by hunting small animals and digging wild vegetables. This place is backed by Yelian Mountain and can live by the Urutu River. It is a good place. But why has no tribe migrated to live in such a livable place with mountains and rivers for so many years? The answer is the wind wolf. The wind wolves in the wasteland are extremely aggressive monsters. They live in groups or alone. Each wolf has a high IQ and rarely makes the same mistake in their lifetime. The northern foothills wasteland is their world.

If it weren't for the rampant swamp zombie disaster on the edge of the Death Swamp, and the orcs were in the chaos of the great famine, the big tribes would be too busy to help small tribes like Raitu. Otherwise, relying solely on the rich products on the edge of the Death Swamp, Raitu's tribe would not starve. At the very least, they could rely on the potatoes in the Death Swamp to get through the difficulties.

Gribaschin and Kuz's views are not like this. Old orcs like Gribaschin have a feeling of being reluctant to leave their homeland. He advocates returning to the Death Swamp. The monsters in the swamp will eventually be defeated by the orcs' brave men. Maybe they will endure for a few months, or maybe not that long. The old orcs' idea is that it's all about enduring wherever you are, right?

Kuz's idea was even simpler. He wanted to take the women and children in the tribe and return to Gludin Town first. Compared to the large tribal gathering point of tens of thousands of people, accommodating these two hundred people was like a drop of water falling into a pond. According to Kuz's idea, he could stay in Gludin Town and wait for the swamp beasts to disperse by themselves, or he could invite some monster hunters who were willing to hunt monsters to go. In short, all this could be patiently waited for.

A few days ago, the rash decision of Laitu, the leader of this small tribe, led to the death of the last group of young orc warriors in the tribe in Yelang Gorge. No one could escape safely, if not for Gerile at the last moment. A group of women who could run rushed into the Wild Wolf Gorge and snatched the seriously injured Laitu and the last few seriously injured soldiers from the pile of corpses. I am afraid things will be more troublesome.

Whether it is to stay at the mouth of the Ulutu Valley in the northern wilderness, or to go to Gurudin Town, or to return to the Death Swamp, all of this needs to be based on sufficient food.

Laitu was silent for a long time. Apparently he also regretted it. He originally brought the tribe to the northern wilderness because he thought of the spring hunting. A large number of hunters came to hunt the devil antelope and followed them casually. There are countless things to eat As long as you can carry the meat of the devil antelope, you can have as much meat as you want. But this time, Laitu brought women and children, and he was not very lucky. After staying in this wasteland for so many days, even There was no sign of the Demon Antelope Hunting Group. Then the army made a dangerous move and led the last young warriors into the wilderness to hunt one-horned bison. They were lucky enough to meet a large group of one-horned bison, but the group of bison were so stubborn that they led them into the wild. Langxia, what a bad luck!

Raitu hesitated and said, "How about, if I can move in a few days, I can take some strong women and walk inside. Maybe I can meet the adventure group that hunts the devil antelope. Under normal circumstances, they can only Take away the magic antelope skin and the magic core in the skull, and we can wait for them to leave and bring back the mutton they discarded into raw meat jerky. I remember my grandfather did this in the past years of disaster."

Gribasin frowned, slowly shook his wrinkled head and said thoughtfully: "In the wilderness, there are not only hunter groups hunting magic antelopes, but also many bandits. Sometimes you can't even tell which ones are hunting magic beasts." The team, those are bandits, or some of them are bandits as well as a demon hunting group. They are too dangerous, and they are accompanied by a group of women. Laitu, do you want to put the tender mutton into the tiger's mouth? "

"But in our current state, there is no way we can cross the Yelian Mountains. We can only stay here and dig wild vegetables all day long to feed ourselves." Laitu said a little decadently. His pale face was even more ugly. As a tribal leader, It was his wrong decisions that brought the tribe to the brink of destruction. If there was no good way to revive the tribe, the remaining women and children would be nothing more than a piece of delicious fat in the eyes of other tribal leaders. Swallow it in one gulp without hesitation.

He would rather cross the Yelian Mountains to the northern wilderness alone than move to Gurudin Town, because he is afraid that a small tribe like his will be annexed by another large tribe in such a crisis.

"If we really don't meet the demon hunting group, then let's hunt some demon antelopes ourselves!" Kurtz said calmly.

Gribastin's cloudy eyes were half-closed at first, but now they suddenly opened wide and looked at Kuz, and asked in surprise: "Can you catch up with those wind-like devil antelopes?"

"Not yet!" Kurtz glanced at me, and then said firmly to Laitu and Gribaschin: "But we have our own way to hunt the magic antelope."

I interjected: "If we just want to eat meat, maybe we can also try to catch the attention of those bison. The meat of a one-horned bison is at least as good as that of twenty magic antelopes."

Along the way, we tried to control the number of our prey as much as possible. The reason is that the Yagui beast cannot carry an unlimited load and its physical strength is limited. Originally, the four of us wanted to spend this grassland trip easily, so Equipped with comfortable leather saddles, the four of us rode the Yagui beast together. In addition, at the beginning of our trip, we brought a lot of luggage, even iron pots and some necessary cooking utensils and tents. The Yagui beast had a heavy burden. Later we hunted a few magic antelopes on the edge of the saltwater pond and even killed a wind wolf. Qige took Catalina to collect various kinds of things in the wasteland all day long. Planting herbs, because we need a lot of moonlight ink and milky white ink. At this time, we slowly found that there were more and more luggage, and most of the luggage was something we couldn't abandon. In the end, we could only reduce the amount of dry food we carried.

But now the situation is different. I was still thinking about this question before, that is, why did Kuz leave the devil antelopes all over the mountains and plains without catching them, but took the women and children of the tribe to dig gerbils and catch hares on the sand hills? . I couldn't let go of these questions, so I asked Kurtz. The answer Kurtz gave me was only four words, that is: survival instinct.

Kurtz wants to teach these weak orcs some of the most basic survival instincts, how to survive in the wilderness by themselves.
