Chapter 120 The Strange Adventure of the Stone in the Wilderness
Chapter 120 The Strange Adventure of the Stone in the Wilderness
The Stone Tribe is an inconspicuous small tribe with less than 300 people. There are many small tribes like the Stone Tribe in the wilderness.
Early in the morning, when it was still light, 10-year-old Shitou opened his eyes. The first thing he did when he woke up was to look at his 10-year-old sister, or to look at the wound on his sister's leg.
This is a cut that my sister accidentally got while she was grinding stone tools for the tribe a few days ago.
The wound was very deep and was still inflamed. Shitou was feeling anxious. His sister Shaoyao was still sleeping soundly, but even so, her brows were tightly furrowed and her face was a little pale.
Can't wait any longer, must go out and look for herbs!
Shitou made up his mind. He gently covered his sister's thin body with the animal skin he was wearing. Then he got up quietly and walked out of the simple cave.
After his sister was injured, Shitou did not go out to look for herbs immediately. There was naturally a reason for this.
A cunning and brutal giant armored bear came near the tribe. It was a level two beast and had eaten nearly ten members of the Stone Tribe.
The witch led the tribe's warriors and had been hunting the giant armored bear for three days. However, the giant armored bear was extremely cunning. It only attacked the lone members of the Stone Tribe and ignored the witch of the Stone Tribe.
The witch repeatedly stressed that it was strictly forbidden to leave the tribe’s residence during these days.
But Shitou couldn't wait any longer, so he asked the tribal warriors who were out hunting to help keep an eye out for herbs that could be used to reduce inflammation, but these herbs were not easy to find.
The witch and the tribe's warriors were exhausted from chasing the giant armored bears and guarding the tribe these days.
The Stone Tribe is really just a very weak tribe.
Shitou got up so early because he was planning to sneak out. His sister's wound could not wait any longer. Otherwise, even if it was cured later, there might be serious sequelae. Shitou didn't dare to bet on this probability.
The Stone Tribe’s residence is built against a mountain. The mountain wall is extremely steep, which serves as a natural protection. It is also convenient for digging caves for living and polishing stone tools.
The people of the Stone Tribe are very good at polishing stone tools, which is also the origin of the name Stone Tribe.
Shitou was very familiar with the tribe's route. Relying on his small body, he easily avoided the patrols of the soldiers on duty and successfully left the Shi tribe's residence while the darkness had not yet completely dissipated.
But Shitou did not feel happy. He looked around carefully, especially at the tall bushes and trees.
Shi Tou felt a little scared. This was a very natural situation. He was a ten-year-old child, and if he encountered a giant armored bear, he would almost certainly die!
But no matter how scared he was, Shitou did not slow down his pace at all. There were no herbs that could be used to reduce inflammation near the tribe. If there were, the warriors of the tribe would definitely bring them back to Shitou, so Shitou still had a long way to go.
Shitou didn’t know whether he would die or not, and his mind was now full of thoughts on finding herbs to reduce inflammation.
Shitou was lucky that no giant armored bear suddenly appeared on the road. As the sky gradually brightened, he unknowingly arrived at a turbulent river far away from the tribe.
This place is the most likely place to grow anti-inflammatory herbs!
Shi Tou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He did not dare to delay and immediately began to search nearby. The arrival of the giant armored bear scared away almost all the inferior and first-level beasts nearby, so Shi Tou knew that he was safe.
But the prerequisite is that you don’t encounter a giant armored bear.
"Roar~!"
A roar shattered the luck in Shi Tou's heart. A huge black bear with gray horny body, standing nearly 10 meters tall, slapped the big tree that was blocking the way in front of it. Amidst the flying wood chips, the giant armored bear drooled and looked at Shi Tou by the stream.
Savage beasts have no reason, they only have instincts. This giant armored bear really likes the taste of humans.
Shi Tou felt a chill in his heart. The giant armored bear was already flying towards him. The pressure brought by its huge body made Shi Tou, who was only ten years old, feel extremely panicked.
No, I can't die here!
Shi Tou bit the tip of his tongue, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes. This madness temporarily dispelled the fear in Shi Tou's heart and restored some strength to his somewhat limp body.
Shitou naturally wouldn't think of fighting the giant armored bear head-on. With his small body, he probably wouldn't even be able to fill the giant armored bear's teeth, but there was still a chance of survival.
Shi Tou looked at the turbulent river behind him. There were man-eating fish in the river. Although these fish were barbaric beasts, they could easily eat Shi Tou. Even if he was lucky enough not to be eaten, jumping into such a turbulent river would be very dangerous. But Shi Tou knew that this was the only chance of survival.
There was no way he could outrun the giant armored bear.
So, Shi Tou moved. He bit his lips hard. The pain gave Shi Tou a brief strength. He rolled and crawled towards the river. Besides a hint of madness in Shi Tou's eyes, there was also a strong desire to survive.
His sister Shaoyao is still waiting for him to come back, so he can't die!
"Roar!!"
But before Shitou could run to the river, he suddenly heard a painful roar from the giant armored bear behind him, followed by a dull thud when a heavy object hit the ground.
Shi Tou was stunned. He stopped and turned to look behind him. He saw a young man in strange clothes standing beside the fallen giant armored bear, looking at him calmly.
What’s even more strange is that there seems to be a little man with wings beside this young man?
"Hello, my name is Xilin. I have already dealt with this big guy. You are fine now."
Who else could this little winged figure be other than Xilin?
The little guy took back his sword, then flew to the front of the stone, looking at the stone on the ground curiously. This was the first intelligent creature that Sword Saint Xilin had seen when he came to the wilderness.
Shi Tou was stunned. You are the only one who can defeat the giant armored bear?
"Hey! What's that look on your face? I'm getting angry!"
Sword Saint Xilin was angry. Not only did he not say thank you for saving his life, but he also looked at me with distrust. Don’t think that just because you are a child, Sword Saint Xilin will not cut you!
Doesn't it mean that Sword Saint Xilin is no longer a child?
"Oh, sorry, that's not what I meant!"
"My name is Shitou, thank you very much for your help!"
Shi Tou quickly apologized. Although he still couldn't understand how such a small person could defeat the powerful giant armored bear, the favor was indeed real, so Shi Tou immediately expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Ah."
Sword Saint Xilin generously forgave Shi Tou. With his curiosity satisfied, the little guy flew back to Chu Yi's shoulder and began to chatter about how cool his sword move was.
He looks like he's asking for praise.
Chu Yi was naturally not stingy and praised her a lot, not forgetting to touch the little head of Sword Saint Xilin. Shi Tou watched the interaction between Chu Yi and Xilin curiously, and he felt that these two should be a father and daughter.
But Shi Tou had a question: How could a man as big as Chu Yi give birth to a little person like Xilin?
For the first time, Shitou expressed his admiration for Xilin's mother, causing the Elf Tree in Chu Yi's small world to tremble unconsciously.
The Elf Tree is not very smart, but I still have a feeling that there are always villains who want to harm me.
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Tou with a somewhat puzzled expression, which made Shi Tou shiver.
Why did it suddenly feel a little cold in broad daylight? Shi Tou was a little confused.
"Hello, my name is Chu Yi."
Chu Yi stepped forward and greeted Shi Tou. Looking at the kind smile on Chu Yi's face, Shi Tou felt a little chilly in his heart for some reason.
