2. The first night
Crack...
Lu Jia breathed a sigh of relief by igniting the flames with the keys and hard stones.
The last time I made a fire was when I was a child, my memory was so long that I almost forgot it, or he hoped he would forget it.
My childhood memories were not very warm to Lu Jia.
The fire was caught with a small wooden stick bucket, and the flames were crackling, and the low roar was floating faintly in the night wind, reminding that this place was never safe.
An ordinary human who runs at a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour and runs up to 4 meters apart, faces the hunting of a cougar who can jump over a distance of fourteen meters by running at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour. Only by flexibly using the tree terrain can you see the only way to live.
Relying on one advantage, Lu Jia temporarily threw the beast away.
He ate very full for dinner, but the big cat was hungry.
Safety is only temporary. The clown has not given up hunting. It is chasing along the blood. The flames can make the beast stumble, but it may also attract other things - such as the human-eating natives, such as another hunter.
Lu Jia has considerable considerations about this.
According to 307, he has an advantage in the start and map.
The beginning of this "advantage" was that a mountain lion was hunted for more than an hour.
If this is also an advantage... then Lu Jia can initially infer that another "hunter" will definitely encounter greater trouble at the beginning, so that Lu Jia can gain an "emphasis in the beginning".
Hunting must ensure ornamentality. If one party falls into a desperate situation too quickly, it is obviously inconsistent with the will of the god of death, at least this should be true before the two hunters officially meet.
This logic sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is a ridiculous thing for two people to come out of thin air to fight in a jungle. The god of death who is watching the show will not allow a good show to quickly become a one-sided massacre.
All this is based on one foundation—the things 307 said are true.
Lu Jia is not a person who is easy to trust others, but in this strange place, if you do not accept any information and bump into this forest like a headless fly, it will only make your situation even more dangerous.
The burnt wooden strips on his hand were stuck behind him, and the wound was burning and bleeding. Lu Jia closed his eyes slightly, but the thoughts in his mind did not stop. He needed some thoughts to divert his attention so that the pain could not stimulate the nerves so severely.
The flames burned the oil coming out of the wound. Lu Jia's mouth trembled slightly, but his hands kept burning charcoal without stopping, quickly burning the wounds all over his body, and tightly wrapped the strips of cloth that had been pulled into pieces torn the shirt around several deadly wounds.
The wound stopped bleeding. He put on his coat and stepped on the fire, ran to a mud swamp, and leaned into it.
Climbing a stone beside the mud pool, Lu Jia soaked mud and water in every part of his body, making his body full of corruption.
Even flies don't want to smell this smell more.
Climbing out of the mud, Lu Jia carefully climbed a tree in the grass, and the monkeys on the tree fled in scattered. Lu Jia squatted on the top of the tree, staring at the bottom of the tree with his eyes tightly.
Soon, the light footsteps gradually approached the leaves, and the roar just now was still far away. At this moment, the brown-yellow cat had arrived in front of him, losing the shock of the flames. It bravely chased through the mud. The disappearance of blood and smell made it suspicious. Although it was one of the species with the highest IQ, its lack of logical thinking still made it unclear. It just looked around in confusion and was completely unaware of the figure that seemed to be integrated with the gray trunk between the dense branches and leaves.
He used a few leaves mixed with mud to cover his mouth and nose, and only a very small gap was exposed for breathing. This quick-witted method was designed to cover Lu Jia's breathing well. The cougar was patrolling for a while and finally left disappointed. Lu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, threw away the mud that was almost suffocated, and squinted his eyes and stared at the west side.
A thick smog was floating into the sky there.
Lu Jia quietly went downstairs and leaned over in the grass.
Don't step on the plains of the jungle, where grass is growing. This is the experience he has gained not long ago. I have to thank the animal skeletons he saw next to the first mud he encountered, otherwise he would have been trapped in at that time.
Although his body was tired, Lu Jia was surprisingly awake. He focused all his attention on the surrounding wind and movements, and did not notice that the panel attribute bar in the retina had undergone subtle changes:
‘Status·Full concentration: calm +10, concentration +10, intuition +7, reflex +7
Status·Potential Inspiration (Low): All attributes +3’
The attribute value of 99 points is the limit of human beings. Today, Lu Jia's spiritual attributes, brain attributes, and intuitive reflexes have reached more than 80. He is an excellent level among humans. Although he is not as good as well-trained special forces and veterans, his mental state alone is much stronger than ordinary people.
But he doesn't know how to survive in the wild, has shortcomings in experience, is not familiar with the terrain, lacks food sources, and even does not have a decent weapon. Lu Jia knows that the longer he stays in this forest, the more unfavorable it is for him, and he must solve the problem as soon as possible.
The place where the smoke was rising was a native settlement—a house built according to trees, a huge bonfire, a strange-style totem and naked women.
Lu Jia's eyes were repeatedly inspecting, but there was no man in the settlement - to be precise, a middle-aged man.
"There are bloodstains inside, and there are corpses... there has been a battle here." Lu Jia fell into deep thought.
As a large predator, the range of puma hunting is usually dozens of square kilometers, which can be said to be one of the biggest threats in this forest. Such a beast was encountered by Lu Jia at the beginning. In order to balance the situation, another hunter encountered was mostly indigenous people.
Excluding non-natural factors, humans are standing at the top of the food chain anywhere on the earth.
His eyes were on the heads of the people wearing the fence of the indigenous settlement for a while. Lu Jia let go of his hand and let the grass cover his body again, and then quietly circled the settlement for half a circle until a corpse stopped.
The middle-aged men in the settlement all went to pursue the invaders, and Lu Jia was very sure that that person was his target.
As a map for fighting, if there are only two people participating in the game, they must be outsiders who are incompatible with the environment...
