Chapter 422 The Prelude to Domestication
Shao Xuan did not touch the old man, but just left with his things.
You always have to pay back when you come out. If you rob and kill someone, you must be prepared to be robbed and killed.
When she came down from the tree, Shao Xuan did not see the fat duck, leaving only a piece of straw rope tied to the tree, and the other end was pecked.
Shao Xuan was not interested in pursuing the duck's movements. He came to the place where the Taoist robbers had been killed again and looked at it. The people who fell there had already blurred their appearance, as if the wax figure had melted, which was very strange.
Shao Xuan tried to dig a little to take away the poisonous weeds, but after he left, the grass quickly withered. Shao Xuan only took away a few dead grasses. However, after testing with his prey, he found that the grass that could poison a high-level totem warrior had a much weaker toxicity after withering. The more severe the withering, the weaker the toxicity, and even an ant could not be poisoned.
It is useless to take away like this, and Shao Xuan can only give up. Perhaps these strange trees and grass can only grow in this place.
Shao Xuan continued to walk in the direction of the plan. When he passed by the tree house, he heard a loud bang, like the sound of large wooden boards falling and shattering, among which the old man's angry screams and the fat duck's screams, as if they were fighting.
"Ah" a scream came, followed by the old man's hysterical roar, "Damn it, all deserve to die!"
Shao Xuan did not go over and continued to leave with the packed stuff.
Over there, the wooden house originally built on the tree collapsed.
After Shao Xuan left, the old man spat out of the door and continued to curse, but his voice became much smaller. He did not dare to scold loudly, for fear of attracting the little evil star. Just as he was glad that he could survive, the old man saw a green figure flying into the house from outside, quickly grabbed a claw on the old man's head, and ran away again.
The hair on the head is still stuck to the scalp and blood. It is pulled off hard. Not only that, the fat duck also left a few deep claw marks on the old man's head. If its claws grow sharper and have a greater force, it may be able to directly grab the head through.
After being hit by this, the old man screamed in pain and swung his axe to chop. He was frightened just now. Now he encountered this fat bird rebelling again. He was so angry that he smoked his forehead and swung the axe to chop around.
However, the fat duck was not slow and ran around the room. The old man not only did not cut off the duck, but instead chopped the wooden house into a mess.
The wooden house, which was not very strong, fell from the trees and broke into pieces of wooden boards.
The old man who fell to the ground got up from the ruins. He grabbed the axe that had no mouth and continued to chase the fat duck. However, when he arrived in the forest, the fat duck's movements were much more flexible than the old man.
The fat duck was like teasing him, taking people around and giving him a claw from time to time. One of the big reasons it worked honestly on weekdays is that it was afraid of the other people. In terms of combat effectiveness, the old man could only rank at the end. Now everyone else is dead. The only old man is left. The fat duck doesn't want to listen to him anymore. Such a good opportunity for counterattack will not give up.
When the old man was so angry that he was almost lost in his heart, the fat duck led the person to a nearby trap. Most of these traps were arranged by three other people. The old man was not sure. The screams that Shao Xuan heard were made when one of his feet was clamped with a wooden thorn.
Seeing that the old man had been trapped in a trap one after another, he was trapped by a lasso. The axe was no longer in his hand and could not get out of the trap for a while. The fat duck gave him a few more strokes before swaying and running away, spreading his wings and flying.
Shortly after the fat duck left, the sky gradually darkened in the forest. A black figure stopped on the nearby trees and stared at the old man below. Not long after, another bird of the same flew over. They were active at night and liked to eat carrion. If there was no carrion, they would make it.
The old man is familiar with this kind of bird. He used to feed the remains of other people. Now, when he sees these birds landing on the trees, a sense of despair spreads.
In the quiet night, the sudden screams in this mountain forest broke the silence in the forest, accompanied by the sound of birds that sounded very melodious, and the screams became even more intense.
Some beasts hidden in the dark corners smelled the blood in the air, smelled the smell and went over to join this feast.
As for Shao Xuan, he had found his way to come. Without a cave to rest, Shao Xuan rested directly on the tree.
Before closing his eyes and resting, Shao Xuan looked at a tree not far away. There, behind the bushes, a fat figure stopped there, thinking that he was hiding well.
Shao Xuan ignored it. In order to deal with the three robbers, he consumed a lot of energy, so he took more time to make up for it now.
The next day, Shao Xuan woke up and continued on his way.
Not far from Shao Xuan, the fat duck continued to follow. Sometimes when Shao Xuan saw it, it flew up and avoided it. When Shao Xuan turned around and stopped looking, it continued to follow.
Shao Xuan couldn't quite understand what this fat duck was thinking?
On that day, when Shao Xuan was rushing to the road, he suddenly heard a tragic "Ga" behind him!
As they flew past the trees, the fat duck was slapped by other large birds in the sky, and several of the duck feathers were cut off.
After the fat duck fell on the branch, it was entangled by a snake on the tree. Its little claws could not catch the snake's body, and its neck was bitten by the snake, so it could not even make a sound.
Shao Xuan waved his sword to cut off the snake, lifted up the duck's legs and shook it, and the duck's neck swayed. He had lost consciousness and was poisoned, and he probably had a life of not long.
Shao Xuan looked at the fat duck that was no longer moving, tied the duck legs with a straw rope, carried it away, and picked up the cut snake, and found a place to roast it later and ate it.
Many of the poisonous snakes in this forest are very toxic. I just don’t know how long this fat duck can last. Shao Xuan is a pity that it will not taste good if it is poisoned.
In the evening, Shao Xuan was resting in a cave, which was one of the rest points on Gongjia Hengxun Mountain Road, and there was also a stone pot polished when Shao Xuan came.
After roasting some animal meat, cooking a pot of soup, and throwing the snake in, Shao Xuan looked at the fat duck on the ground next to him. At this moment, the fat duck woke up, raised the duck's head, and met Shao Xuan's gaze.
"Ga!" The fat duck wanted to avoid it, but the snake venom had not been completely eliminated, and its wings and legs had no strength. After a while, it was back to the spot.
Shao Xuan looked at the fat duck and wondered whether to stew it in a pot. Since he could wake up, it means that the snake venom in his body was relieved and his life was not in danger... It happened to be put into the pot.
The fat duck whose duck feathers were almost blown up by Shao Xuan's eyes, and then squeaked again.
Shao Xuan turned around, picked up a stone stick, and stirred it in the pot. Look at the snake inside. Although the toxicity of this snake is not top-notch here, it should not be underestimated. Even high-level totem warriors have to be on guard against them. However, this fat duck was spontaneously solved so quickly without taking any antidote drugs!
Yes, the toxic plants grown in that place are more toxic than other places. In this way, it is speculated that fat ducks living in such places will have high toxicity.
Shao Xuan looked at the fat duck lying there with unknown meaning. There were roasted and cooked food around him. The duck was not interested, probably because the remaining poison had not yet cleared, and he fell asleep again.
The next day, Shao Xuan was woken up by the duck's screams.
The duck pecked the straw rope that tied his legs and ran out quickly. Shao Xuan did not stop him.
The stone blocking the hole had not been moved away yet, and the fat duck could only squeeze out from the gap between the stone and the hole, and almost got stuck.
When Shao Xuan got up, he moved the stone at the entrance of the cave and looked outside, and saw the fat duck slitting and biting in the grass not far away, jumping and flying for a while.
Looking at the jumping force, the snake venom was completely cleaned up, and the hungry duck was foraging for food. Shao Xuan ignored it and ignored it, doing whatever he should do.
After eating the remaining barbecue yesterday, Shao Xuan continued to rush forward.
The fat duck, who was originally pecking in the grass, saw Shao Xuan walking away and didn't bother to find food, so he quickly followed. This time he followed tighter than before, but Shao Xuan's speed made the duck a little difficult.
After passing through the Monkey Forest, Shao Xuan came to the river again. Looking around, he didn't know if the giant crocodile was still nearby, but he wouldn't take risks, such as rafts, and he didn't plan to do it immediately.
Shao Xuan took out a wooden whistle. It was made of branches from Gongjiaheng's valley and taught him how to blow the whistle. As for whether the hammer bird would give him face at that time, Gongjiaheng would not be sure of it.
As Gong Jiaheng showed, Shao Xuan blew a wooden whistle.
Not long after, a bird flew over from the other side of the river. It was the hammer bird. However, after seeing Shao Xuan, the hammer bird did not land immediately. After Shao Xuan said a few words and gave a prey, the hammer bird reluctantly agreed.
While the hammer bird was eating, the fat duck landed from the sky and hid not far behind Shao Xuan and looked vigilantly. The fat duck was afraid of birds that were so many larger than it.
After a full meal, the Hammerbird took Shao Xuan across the river in a good mood, and the fat duck continued to follow behind. The Hammerbird didn't want to give him any extra look. He didn't even look at such a small thing.
When crossing the river, Shao Xuan did not see the giant crocodile appearing and successfully arrived at the other side.
Shao Xuan would go to Gong Jiaheng for two days before setting off. He did not go into Gong Jiaheng's stone house and rested in the tree house he had slept before.
The fat duck rested outside, not far away.
Even though he knew that Shao Xuan might be eaten, the fat duck followed him. Because it was unable to live in this forest, it was probably trained by the old man, lost some wildness, and had a certain dependence on people. When all the others died, the hatred for the old man was vented, and he felt that he could no longer live in that forest, so he flew over with Shao Xuan. However, after leaving the forest, there were more beasts outside the forest and birds flying in the sky, and they could slap it to death with one claw, and they could see it every moment. After being frightened for days, the duck was so scared that it lost a lot.
Shao Xuan was also wondering whether this fat duck had Stockholm syndrome. In the words of tribes, this is a prelude to domestication. (To be continued.)
