Chapter 17 Asking for help
"Huh, there are more and more traces of humans. Have I reached the outskirts of the Bamboo Sea?"
Climbing to the top of the bamboo again, Bell looked into the distance and saw endless bamboos.
One glance at this kind of scene will make you feel that your running around these days is just in vain, and you will never be able to get out of this vast sea of bamboo.
If Bell hadn't discovered more and more human traces after walking for a day, he would have been so angry that he would have cursed his mother.
"These newly encountered humans no longer give me such a strong sense of oppression. It seems that the terrifying humans I met before are just an exception."
Regarding these newly discovered humans, Bell was initially afraid of encountering them, fearing that he would accidentally intrude into their perception and be killed by these humans on the spot.
But as time went by, and after Beldo observed these humans several times, the fear in his heart gradually diminished.
After knowing that he would not be lost casually, he became bolder and even appeared near these humans many times, observing the humans in the bamboo forest.
"Actually, these humans are no different from the humans in my impression. They don't just have one nose and two eyes. Some are beautiful and some are frustrated."
In appearance, there is no difference between these humans and the humans in Bell's cognition.
But in terms of strength, the humans in this world are very different from the people on Earth in Bell's memory.
Although the people Bell met later were not as strong as the people he met for the first time, they still had extraordinarily powerful bodies.
They can jump across a distance of two to three meters at will, hold various weapons in their hands, and dance like a tiger.
"These humans came to this bamboo sea probably to hunt monsters. Each of them is good at decomposing materials and can dig out various materials from animal carcasses."
Bell, who was hiding near humans to collect information, saw many monsters being dismantled by humans.
Watching the process of humans dismembering these monsters, Bell didn't feel any fear or nausea. He just felt that it looked very relaxing.
"It feels similar to watching videos of killing fish or trimming horseshoes. As long as the people doing the work move smoothly, it looks very comfortable."
Bell, who was hiding aside and peeking at the dismantling of the corpses of monsters, often thought that if he had a bag of melon seeds, he could watch these humans from beginning to end.
The emergence of this kind of thought made Bell feel like an idle college student standing on the roadside watching the excavator work, or an old man standing by the river watching the fisherman and the Air Force.
Of course, Bell, who has been watching humans decompose the corpses of monsters, has not learned anything.
When humans decompose the corpses of Warcraft, they will divide the dismantled materials into two categories: useful and useless.
Useful materials can be further subdivided according to their value.
After watching the decomposition of materials for a long time, Bell also discovered that from a human perspective, the parts of a Warcraft related to magic power are always the most valuable parts of a Warcraft.
After killing the iron pig, humans will remove the bristles and leather of the iron pig. When capturing the magic feather bird, humans will remove the shimmering tail feathers of the magic feather bird...
As for ordinary but rare animals like bamboo monkeys, humans would capture them alive, then pry open the skulls and eat the brains raw. Bell judged from the expressions of enjoyment on those people's faces that the brains of bamboo monkeys should be delicious.
(I’d like to share a rather interesting gossip here. According to what the author, Mr. Jun, saw in his early years, live monkeys were sold in game markets in the past, and monkey brains were provided for people to eat. It is said to be a delicacy. The way to eat it is to lock the monkeys in a
The head is stuck in a small cage, and then the monkey's brain is hollowed out with an electric drill, and a straw is inserted to suck it directly. It is said that the taste is like soft tofu.)
Of course, among the corpses of various monsters decomposed by humans, Bell did not see the figure of the fire-chewing hyena.
After all, they are the monsters at the top of the food chain in this bamboo sea, and they are also social creatures.
Ordinary adventure groups don't have the courage to provoke them. It is extremely difficult to get along with these difficult fire-chewing hyenas.
"Speaking of which, these adventure groups probably only want to make money. They hunt very cautiously in the bamboo sea. When they encounter powerful monsters, they just grease their soles and run away."
Along the way, Bell saw several adventure groups. After the conflict with the fire-chewing hyenas, they all fought and retreated. If they could avoid the battle, they would definitely not fight the fire-chewing hyenas to the end.
But compared with normal creatures, monsters like fire-chewing hyenas are smarter, they have a stronger sense of territory, and they understand that when humans hunt other monsters in the bamboo sea, they are competing for resources with them.
Therefore, in the confrontations between humans and fire-chewing hyenas, Bell often saw that the fire-chewing hyenas were willing to be attacked several times before forcibly killing humans who retreated and fled.
In the conflict that Bell witnessed, two humans had already died from fireballs fired by fire-chewing hyenas.
"It's a pity that humans still attach great importance to the death of their companions. They will snatch the corpses from the fire-chewing hyenas. Otherwise, I can set the human remains on fire and try to obtain information from the corpses."
After acquiring the skill [Pyrophilic Wisdom], Bell never stopped developing this skill.
In the process of exploring the outskirts of the Bamboo Sea, he also hunted small animals such as lizards and toads, firstly to test his skills, and secondly so that he could make tooth sacrifices.
Bell discovered that after burning the corpse, he could see some information retained in the corpse's memory in the flames.
However, since he was killing small animals with little intelligence, Bell could not know whether the information he obtained was the memories of those small animals during their lifetime or their physical instincts.
After all, those bits and pieces of information about running, jumping, and eating are really of little value.
After watching a human dismantling the corpse of a monster, Bell embarked on the road in a comfortable mood and continued to move in the direction he chose.
But after walking forward for about half an hour, Bell's little ears twitched slightly.
He heard an extremely unusual sound, which made Bell stop and prick up his ears to listen to the direction of the sound.
"Save me...Everyone who hears my voice, please come and help me..."
Bell heard human voices. Since the number of human traces around him increased, he would hear human conversations from time to time. This was not unusual.
But the reason why this voice can make Bell stop attentively is obviously not because it is a human voice.
What really made Bell stop was that he understood the meaning of these words.
"I obviously don't understand the human language of this world, why do I understand this sentence. And..."
