"It's raining?" There are no clouds in the sky, and the sun near the evening is no longer as strong as noon. The breeze slowly blows across the wild grass next to it, making a rustle, and there is no sign of rain.
Luca shrugged, "Well, there is water vapor around, it should be heavy rain."
"Luo Zhen, I'm going home first." Axue was convinced of what Luca said. Hearing that he couldn't even clean up the dirt on his hands, she hurriedly got up and left home. Before leaving, she didn't forget to say, "Remember to move the firewood outside to the tent, otherwise you won't be able to light the fire these days."
"Okay, do you want to take some wild lettuce leaves with you?"
"No need." Axue waved her hand and stuck her tongue out at Luo Zhen, "I don't like the smell of those leaves."
Luo Zhen smiled, not feeling reluctant.
The tent is not big, so there is no way to move all the firewood back into the tent. Luo Zhen can only pile most of the firewood under the cedar tree, then cover it with thick leaves, and then spread a piece of no longer needed dilapidated animal skin, so that even if it rains, all the wood will not be wetted by water.
Cuckoo Bird seemed to be very dissatisfied with Luo Zhen's arbitrarily occupying its own territory. It jumped onto the woodpile and screamed at Luo Zhen condescendingly. However, it couldn't attract the attention of others at all, and only yelled a few times. Seeing Luo Zhen had turned to leave, it could only shut up angrily.
Luca took care of all the three prey, then took a large piece of meat and left, and did not plan to stay here for dinner at night. When the two horn bamboos came to pick up Ah Shui, they gave Luo Zhen two cassavas. This was a gift from Dawu to thank Luo Zhen for discovering this new ingredient.
"It's going to rain, don't go out these days," Kadotake said.
The fact that three people in a row mentioned rain made Luo Zhen a little puzzled, but in order not to arouse other people's suspicion, he did not ask the reason why, but waited for everyone to leave, then he mentioned his doubts to Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan is polishing the wooden bowl with a rough surface stone, intending to make the inside of the wooden bowl as smooth as possible. This kind of boring work, Luo Zhen thinks that the other party has no patience to persevere. After all, the other party is badly injured and does not want to lie on the bed for cultivation. But what Luo Zhen unexpectedly found was that when he was taking other people outside to plant and process prey, Lu Zhan held a stone and polished it without changing his movements for most of the day.
"It's raining?" Lu Zhan blew off the sawdust and looked at Luo Zhen with a smile.
Luo Zhen touched his nose and coughed slightly.
Lu Zhan didn't tease the other party anymore and explained, "It will become a bit cold when it rains."
"Cool down?" This is normal. Is it necessary for so many people to act so cautiously because of the rain?
"Also, there will be a lot of water."
Luo Zhen: "..."
Lu Zhan didn't say anything more. When it got dark, the patter of rain began to fall.
The animal skins at the entrance of the tent were not put down. Luo Zhen lit a fire where the rain could not reach. Taking advantage of the darkness, Lu Zhan went out to carry a prey and came back. The fur on the prey was still stained and not cleaned. The soil looks like it has been buried in the ground for a while.
"Burying so it will not be discovered by other predators." Seeing the doubt in Luo Zhen's eyes, Lu Zhan rarely explained.
Because it's raining, there's no need to worry about running out of water. Luo Zhen took a natural bath outside comfortably, and then began to start cooking for Lu Zhan. After these two days of observation, Luo Zhen found something very strange and difficult to understand. Horned bamboo or even Luka, the warriors who can transform into beasts, eat at most about twice as much as Luo Zhen. They are not as exaggerated as Lu Zhan, who can wipe out an adult hog deer alone.
After looking at the other party's belly that was only slightly bulging, Luo Zhen finally couldn't help but ask.
Lu Zhan was crushing the last few tube bones one by one with sharp teeth, licking the bone marrow greedily, and finally allowed the oily fingers. Hearing Luo Zhen's question, he was a little puzzled. "Maybe I eat more?"
"Do you feel unwell in your body?"
Lu Zhan shook his head and thought for a while and said, "But I only started to increase my appetite when I was an adult. Da Wu had previously asked if I behaved differently from others. Of course, my real appetite was not told to others. If I had this appetite when I was young, I'm afraid I wouldn't survive now.
Lu Zhan licked the corners of his lips, "Of course, you are the first to know."
"Do you think the big witch will be against you?" Luo Zhen asked, guessing.
"No, the witch will not be against me now."
"Then why are you so wary of him?" Luo Zhen wondered. Lu Zhan not only guarded the great witch himself but also told himself not to believe in the great witch.
"Gut feeling." Lu Zhan threw the eaten bones into the fire, and there was a crackling sound. "It seems that someone said in my mind that I can't trust the wizard."
After asking about it, Lu Zhan couldn't tell why, and the topic of the two quickly moved to another place.
Lu Zhan now likes to chat with Luo Zhen very much. Many of the insights the other party said are different from many people in the Black Panther tribe, which he finds very interesting. After the chat, things that he didn't understand before also became clear.
And Luo Zhen can learn a lot of knowledge about survival in the wild from the other because there is no need to conceal his strength in front of Luo Zhen. Lu Zhan occasionally talks about the past when he wrestled with wild beasts, and Luo Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was six or seven years old when he was able to defeat a wolf alone. When he was an adult, he couldn't guarantee that he would survive unscathed in the wolf's mouth.
"I almost broke my arm by the wolf that time." Lu Zhan said lightly, but what he said was shocking. "It was at that time that I found out that I could turn into a beast. Although it was only a half-orc, at least I still have the ability to fight. Then I fell into the water. As you know, the human form couldn't move freely in the water, and I couldn't be completely animalized. That time I thought I was going to be drowned alive. "
Luo Zhen became nervous when he heard it, and Lu Zhan continued: "I didn't dare to breathe in the water, but my body kept sinking until I felt that my body was about to explode because of holding my breath. I finally I couldn't help taking a breath, and then realized that I could breathe in the water."
"Is this your second beastification form?"
