Another world, primitive continent, Southern Wilderness Mountains.
"Xuan, hold on, we can escape soon."
In the midst of Mi Mi Lake, Jiang Xuan heard the voice of a girl in his ears. He opened his eyes with great effort and saw a primeval forest with towering ancient trees and old vines.
Jiang Xuan found that he was lying on the girl's back. The girl was running fast, which made him feel uncomfortable as he was already dazed.
At the same time, there continued to be a tingling sensation in his chest, and he was obviously bleeding. He must have been seriously injured. Jiang Xuan closed his eyes in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, the panting girl finally stopped and placed him under a big tree.
"Xuan, please open your eyes and look at me. Don't scare my sister."
Hearing the girl's call, Jiang Xuan opened his eyes again with difficulty and saw a panicked girl wearing animal skin clothing.
Where is this? Who are you?
Jiang Xuan wanted to ask, but he found that he had no strength to speak.
"Wait for me here while I find herbs to stop your bleeding."
The girl ran away in a hurry, leaving Jiang Xuan lying on the ground unable to move, looking at this strange world and smelling the strange smell of vegetation and blood.
What's going on here?
Jiang Xuan clearly remembered that he just fell asleep while working overtime late at night, so why did he end up here? Is it a dream?
Suddenly, he felt like the world was spinning, and a lot of information was stuffed into his mind.
It took him a while to recover and digest the information.
First, he traveled through time and space into an extremely dangerous primitive world.
He was originally a twelve-year-old boy named "Xuan", a member of a small primitive tribe. The girl was his sister, one year older than him, named Chishao.
Primitive people are not very particular about naming. They choose whatever comes to mind.
"Xuan" in the tribe represents red and black, and also represents rope, because the character looks like a braided rope.
Red peony root is the name of the herb and has no other meaning.
Secondly, their tribe had just been invaded by a hostile tribe, and their parents risked their lives to protect Chi Shao and Xuan from escaping.
During the battle, Xuan was stabbed by the enemy, and Chi Shao fled with him on his back.
In fact, halfway through the run, Xuan died due to his serious injuries. It happened that Jiang Xuan traveled through time at this time and accepted everything from him.
The mysterious power of time-travel temporarily saved his life, but if the bleeding cannot be stopped or the wound is seriously infected, he will still die.
Jiang Xuan could no longer complain about this miserable situation. The most important thing now was how to save his own life.
"Shashasha..."
At this moment, Jiang Xuan suddenly heard a continuous sound. He turned his head, his face froze, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.
He saw a giant centipede more than half a meter long, which seemed to smell the smell of blood and was crawling towards him quickly.
This centipede was all red, and it was many times larger than the centipedes he had seen before. Its armor-like body, cold eyes, sharp mouthparts, and hook-shaped centipedes made people's scalp numb just by looking at it.
It's over, it's over, am I going to die here just after traveling through time?
Jiang Xuan watched the ferocious centipede crawling closer and closer, its venomous glands and jaws and teeth constantly opening and closing. As long as it got close, it would pierce into Jiang Xuan's body and inject venom. Jiang Xuan would definitely die by then!
"no no……"
Jiang Xuan felt that the blood all over his body was about to solidify. He made a weak sound in his mouth, but he could not stop the half-meter-long centipede from continuing to approach.
Just when Jiang Xuan fell into despair, suddenly, a short spear flew over with a "whoosh" sound, penetrated through the centipede's back, and nailed it firmly to the ground.
At this time, the huge centipede was less than thirty centimeters away from Jiang Xuan. If the short spear had been a little slower, he would have been dead.
"Xuan, are you okay?"
Red peony ran over in a hurry, holding a handful of herbs in her hand.
She walked up to the centipede that was impaled by the short spear, ignored its twisting body, stepped on the centipede's head accurately, then pulled out a sharp stone knife from her waist, and cut off the big centipede's head with one blow.
brain.
"call……"
Jiang Xuan let out a sigh of relief, finally saving his life for the time being. He was really scared to death just now.
The centipede's body is still twisting slightly, but it can no longer sting people.
Jiang Xuan looked at Chi Shao gratefully, thanking this sister for saving his life.
"I'll give you some medicine first."
Chi Shao put the herbs into her mouth and chewed them quickly.
After the herbs were completely chewed, she took off Jiang Xuan's animal skin clothing and applied the chewed herbs to his wounds.
Oddly enough, after applying these herbs, Jiang Xuan's wound felt a bit cold, and the bleeding obviously slowed down.
Chi Shao opened the animal skin bag hanging on her waist, took out a white cotton-like spider web, sealed the wound with herbs, and then helped him put on the animal skin clothes.
"It's not safe here. My sister will take you to a safe place."
After Chi Shao treated Jiang Xuan's wounds, he put the large centipede with its head cut off into an animal skin bag, then carried Jiang Xuan on his back and continued running away.
On the way, Jiang Xuan saw many animals and plants that made people feel numb.
For example, a spider as big as a washbasin, a scorpion as big as a watermelon, a mantis that can cut branches as thick as an arm, etc...
Even plants are not a good thing.
Jiang Xuan saw with his own eyes that after a bird approached a bright flower, the petals with barbs closed instantly, turning the bird into flower fertilizer.
If he were watching a documentary, Jiang Xuan would definitely find these animals and plants interesting, but when he was immersed in the scene, all he felt was fear.
The primeval forests of this world are extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
Red peony's physical strength is beyond Jiang Xuan's imagination.
After carrying him on his back for three or four hours, he had to avoid various dangers, but Chi Shao's speed did not slow down and his breathing was steady.
It wasn't until evening that Chi Shao found a cave and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The cave is not deep, there is a lot of dry firewood inside, and there are some ash and charcoal on the ground. It is obvious that someone has made a fire here before.
There was a pile of hay on the ground. Chi Shao first opened the hay and checked it carefully to see that there were no poisonous insects hidden. Then he spread it out and let Jiang Xuan lie on the hay.
"It's getting dark and I'm angry."
Chi Shao found a relatively hard stick and a relatively soft piece of wood with a groove in the middle from the pile of dry firewood.
She sharpened one end of the stick with a stone knife, then placed it in the groove of the firewood and rubbed it quickly.
Jiang Xuan had watched many outdoor survival programs in his previous life. He knew that this method was called the fire plowing method, which relied on friction to generate heat, rub out the kindling, and then light the fire.
Chi Shao explained to Jiang Xuan while rubbing it: "I used to go hunting with the hunting team. If I couldn't go back at night, I would stay here for the night. There are many places like this."
"Check, check, check..."
Under the friction of the red peony root, many tiny sawdust were rubbed out from the grooves of the firewood, and the ends of the sticks became charred black.
A small wisp of smoke rose up. Chi Shao put down the stick, held the piece of firewood in his hands, and blew air into it gently.
A spark burned quickly, igniting the fine wood chips and forming a fire.
Chi Shao grabbed a few handfuls of dry moss, kneaded it into a large ball, then used a stone knife to pick the fire into the dry moss, and blew slowly.
A lot of thick smoke came out of the moss, and then a bunch of flames suddenly burst out.
With quick eyes and hands, Chi Shao put the burning moss on the ground, and then added small dead branches to it. After the small dead branches were ignited, he added larger dead branches.
Soon, a fire lit up the cave.
Chi Shao went outside the cave to find a fresh branch, used a stone knife to peel off the branches and outer skin, returned to the cave, poured the half-meter-long centipede out of the animal skin bag, and used the branch to skewer the whole centipede.
, put it next to the fire and roasted it.
Centipedes are poisonous when they are alive, but when they are roasted, they become non-toxic food and can be eaten.
The shell of the centipede makes a crackling sound, and the meat inside is roasted at high temperature and quickly releases its fragrance.
After the big centipede was roasted, Chi Shao peeled off the shell, tore off the centipede meat, and handed it to Jiang Xuan's mouth: "Eat it, eat more, the wound will heal quickly."
Jiang Xuan was injured and hadn't eaten for a long time. He was already very hungry. Now that he smelled the meat, he didn't care whether it was a centipede or something else, so he opened his mouth to eat.
After half a centipede was eaten, Jiang Xuan felt like he was alive again.
"You... you eat too..." Jiang Xuan struggled to speak, speaking in the language of the tribesmen.
Chi Shao smiled and nodded, and ate all the remaining centipede meat. She had to maintain sufficient physical strength so that she could better protect Jiang Xuan.
After eating the centipede meat, Chi Shao fed Jiang Xuan some water, changed the medicine once, and then found a lot of thick dead trees to block the entrance of the cave to prevent ferocious beasts from breaking in in the middle of the night.
After everything was done, Chi Shao sat next to the fire and Jiang Xuan lay on the haystack, with the firewood "cracking" burning.
When you are busy, you don’t have time to think too much.
Now that I have some free time, my mood suddenly rises.
Chi Shao looked at the beating flames and whispered: "The tribe is gone, what should we do in the future..."
Jiang Xuan struggled to speak: "Big... big deal, we... we build a new tribe."
Chi Shao smiled but said nothing.
In this dangerous primeval forest, how could it be so easy for the two of them to establish a tribe?
