Chapter 8: Primitive Birds, Weird Plants and Farmers(1/3)
Chapter 740 Primitive Bird Strange Plants and Farmers
A man carrying a backpack and a mask came through the forest wilderness. There were several meter-high dragon beasts peering at him beside the waterhole. They were four to five meters tall, with two hind legs standing on tiptoe. There were two more in front of him.
A sharp claw was hanging in the air, and saliva was dripping from between the sharp knife-like teeth.
But he just turned his head and glanced at the other person. The terrifying dragon beast ran away when he saw the strange patterns on the mask.
The weird horror is not only engraved in the human body, but also in the blood of the beast.
He knocked on the door of a community with only a few dozen people. This place couldn't even be called a tribe, just a big family living in a large natural cave. Outside the cave, there were fruit trees, animal pens, and a fire.
kitchen.
He exchanged dragon animal meat for some cakes made from ginkgo nuts and ate them voraciously. Recently, he almost vomited from eating meat and even started chewing leaves.
He took a wooden tube and took a sip of water, and then expressed that he wanted to exchange for more. He still had some dragon skins, but the other party said it was a pity.
"We don't have any more."
The other party pointed to a place on the top of the mountain and said to Helfas.
"There is a farmer on the mountain over there. He has a lot of food."
"As long as you dare to eat it!"
Helfas didn't know what the other person meant, so he asked.
"What is there to eat? Why don't you dare to eat it?"
The other party said: "The food that man ate was made with weird power."
Helfas: "Weird?"
Now, he became somewhat interested in the farmer.
Compared to some food, he was more curious about how that person used weird power to make food. If he could learn it, would he be able to continuously obtain some food other than meat on the road in the future?
Or there is no need to worry about lack of food without being able to hunt.
When he was going up the mountain, he saw a man standing in front of a wooden house looking at him from a distance.
The withered yellow hair is hanging on the face. The face looks very old, but the hair doesn't seem to have aged that much.
The hair of people in the Land of the Full Moon is almost yellow, but some are more copper-like, some are more gold-colored, and some are slightly whiter, but these are just subtle differences.
The other person looked tall and thin, and looked at Helfas with a surprised expression, as if he was surprised that someone came up the mountain to look for him.
Helfas walked to the wooden house: "I heard that you have a lot of food, and I want to exchange some."
Before the other party spoke, something sounded from the trees nearby.
"Drink uh~"
Helfas looked over and found that it was a primitive bird. At this moment, the bird was spreading its wings, grinning its sharp beak and shouting at Helfas.
But when Helfas looked over, he was so frightened that he closed his mouth, then opened his wings and landed on the farmer's shoulder.
This is not a strange species like Velvet Dragon, which appears to be a result of evolutionary failure or artificial interference. It is a bird that can truly fly for a short period of time.
Helfas had seen it before during his travels, but this was the first time he saw someone keeping such a thing as a pet.
In this era, the poultry raised by people can either produce feathers, eat meat, or produce eggs, or all three. It is really a luxury to keep a pet that cannot eat and does not have much use.
Helfas suddenly believed that the man in front of him could really use his weird power to make food, because he seemed to have no shortage of food.
The other party nodded: "There is food, do you want it?"
Helfas followed the other party into the house and sat down cross-legged on a piece of animal skin. Soon the other party took out a pottery basin from the back and placed it in the center.
The so-called food is actually a kind of fruit.
The other party peeled off the shell in advance, revealing the shiny flesh, which was about the size of a palm.
Helfas picked it up, looked at it, and smelled it: "Something like...bread?"
He blurted out unconsciously.
The other party asked: "What is bread?"
Helfas couldn't explain it, he just felt this way.
The farmer said: "It has no name, and no one else has eaten it before. You should be talking about something else."
Helfas nodded, he put a hand on the mask, and then opened his eyes.
The leaf pattern on the mask suddenly moved, emitting a red light, and his eyes also lit up. Helfas was looking at the food in front of him through a strange perspective.
The farmer in front of him was very surprised. He looked carefully at the patterns on Helfas's mask.
In an instant.
He felt dizzy and could only lower his head.
Helfas took a closer look and found that this thing did have a weird aura, but there was no weird power in it.
He probably confirmed that this kind of thing should be edible, at least it does not contain extraordinary power, and even if there is a problem, it is at most a mortal level problem, such as being poisonous or something like that.
Therefore, he is still a little cautious.
The farmer also noticed Helfas' concern. He didn't say anything more and started eating by himself.
Helfas looked at the primitive bird aside. He tore off a small piece and fed it to some of the opponent's pets. As a result, the primitive bird swallowed it in one bite. It seemed that he was very accustomed to eating this kind of food.
Only then did he try to take a bite.
It has a bit of sweetness and is covered with a layer of natural oil. For Helfas, who has been accustomed to eating various dark dishes during this period and even ate blood-eating raw meat in the tribe, it can be said to be a delicacy on earth.
.
"Um?"
Herfas's eyes lit up.
When enjoying delicious food, life seems to have light, and the fatigue of the long journey is swept away.
After eating a large piece, Herfas said: "I want some more."
Farmer: "No problem, I have more."
But the other party continued: "However, I need you to help me with something."
Helfas: "What's the deal?"
The other person seemed a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at the other person's mask, and just pointed with his finger.
"Is the mask on your face weird?"
"Can you control it?"
Helfas was a little wary: "What do you want me to do?"
The other person said: "I want you to help me deal with a weirdo."
Helfas asked: "Why deal with a weirdo?"
The other party said: "Because it may bring danger and destroy some things I want to protect."
Helfas thought for a moment and considered it for a long time before telling the other party.
"I need to take a look in advance to see what's weird about it."
"If you know about this weird characteristic, you must tell me everything, so that I can tell you the answer."
Farmer: "Okay."
In fact, Helfas has been looking for weird things that can be sealed by him during this period. He did encounter some weird things on the way, but they were either too weird to understand their characteristics, or they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Search everywhere.
It is difficult for him to stay stuck on a certain weirdness and spend a few months or a year to slowly understand and recognize the other person.
Therefore, the request made by the other party at this moment is actually one of the purposes of Helfas's trip.
After finishing speaking, Helfas stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of "bread".
Stuffed it into his mouth.
It was so delicious that it was hard for him to maintain his appearance and remain polite.
The farmer breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Helfas did not reject it intuitively.
Then, joy filled his face.
"I had already given up. I didn't expect to meet someone like you."
——
Before anything was done, Herfas had been eating and drinking for free for several days, and had received his reward in advance.
A big bag of "breadfruit", even if you don't eat anything else, it's enough to last for more than half a month.
Helfas called it this way. Since the other party didn't give it a name, he would give it a name that he thought was pleasant to him.
The farmer led Helfas along the rugged mountain road toward his farmland. The farmland was really far away and it took a full day to reach it.
