Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

Chapter 236 The Difference Between Humans and Beasts

The so-called land of condensation is actually a general term, because most of the water sources in the Black Rock Mountains are formed by condensed dew, so the land of condensation has become a synonym for the water source.

Hopper's village was originally a little far away from the Land of Condensation, but because they possess [Dimensional Folding Skin], even if they are far away, getting water is actually not a problem.

But that was before.

Now, they have been driven out of their original villages. This not only caused them to lose their homes, but also turned them into real wanderers, and they had to start everything over.

Where is the food, where is the water source, where is the danger, where is the restricted area...

These seemingly simple but extremely important knowledge must be re-explored, discovered, and ultimately passed on.

Therefore, if you want to find a new settlement, you don't just need to find a place with good terrain.

If the terrain is just good, then there is no better place than the fissure transformed by Xiao Jian!

It's strong, safe, and insulated from the dangers of disaster.

But unfortunately, this fissure is located at a higher altitude in the Blackstone Mountains.

According to the knowledge Hopper inherited, the higher the place, the more dangerous it is.

There are problems with monster distribution, and there are also environmental problems.

In short, high latitudes are by no means a livable place.

Previously, they were chased and had no choice but to run to dangerous places in order to get rid of the people of the Calamity Stone Tribe.

Of course they failed to do so, but fortunately Xiao Jian saw Hopper's message in the stone "Holy Book", which allowed Hopper's village to survive.

Now, since the danger has passed, it is time to leave this dangerous place.

Xiao Jian did not interfere with their decision-making. After all, he was leaving and could not guarantee the safety of other villagers.

For the indigenous people of the Blackstone Mountains who can only move forward by groping, they have to make great sacrifices whether they are looking for shelter or a place to condense.

Imagine climbing a high mountain in absolute darkness where you can't see your fingers... During this period, whether it is terrain, monsters or even some insignificant small gravels may become fatal factors!

The most dangerous among them are the traps set by other villages, towns and tribes...

Although most of these traps are defensive in nature, once caught, there is no chance of survival.

It can be said that every large-scale migration and every clearing of the perception of the environment requires a lot of life to re-establish the understanding of the surrounding terrain.

If they really have to find a dew condensation place or shelter on their own, then they may not be able to find a suitable place even if more than 50 chimpanzees go there.

However, for Xiao Jian, who can see through the darkness, finding shelter is very simple. The only trouble is the so-called dew place.

"...So, what kind of terrain is the Land of Condensation?"

Xiao Jian's eyes looked into the distance, and the faint flame burning in his eyes penetrated the curtain of darkness and saw a place far, far away.

However, from his perspective, this is just a bare, dark mountain range. There are no streams, lakes or even places suitable for digging wells to draw water in the traditional sense.

In this black stone mountain range composed entirely of obsidian, all the common sense Xiao Jian had had lost its effect.

"The land of condensation is very humid, the air is full of water vapor, the rocks under your feet will be a little slippery, and they will smell like water..."

Hopper described it this way.

When Xiao Jian listened to its description, he knew that he couldn't get any practical information from Hopper - although this guy had a deeper understanding of the land of condensation than Xiao Jian, he could distinguish water vapor entirely through touch and smell. of.

Xiao Jian is not a camel, so he has no ability to follow the water vapor in the air to find the source of water.

but……

"...can you smell the water vapor?" Xiao Jian asked directly.

"I can only sense the general direction." Hopper replied, "The water source closest to us should still be the dew place we used to have... But in this direction, I smell a very faint smell of water again, but It should be very, very far away.”

Hearing this, Xiao Jian perked up and suddenly raised his hand to signal the other chimpanzees to stop.

Because of the dim fire in Xiao Jian's eyes, the chimpanzees all saw Xiao Jian's gesture. Although they didn't know what the gesture meant, since Xiao Jian stopped, they also stopped.

"I'll dig a fully enclosed shelter for you here first, and then I'll take Hopper to find the water source... When we find the so-called dew place, we'll come back to pick you up."

While Xiao Jian was talking, he had already dug out two huge holes in the hard obsidian mountain wall, big enough to stuff all the chimpanzees in.

"Everyone, go in..." Upon hearing this, Hopper also began to urge the other chimpanzees to go in quickly.

But after the other chimpanzees entered, Hopper suddenly leaned into Xiao Jian's ear and whispered something.

"Oh? Why?" Xiao Jian asked strangely.

Hopper asked Xiao Jian to lock Nie Li alone, the female orangutan with a particularly beautiful voice.

"...I, I want a child, my own child." Hopper said timidly.

"She's not you...forget it, I understand."

Xiao Jian originally thought that Hopper and Nie Li were husband and wife, or at least a couple... But now it seems that things are not that simple.

Judging from certain habits, it is obvious that they have not evolved traditions and ethics.

In other words, it is this cruel environment that prevents them from evolving such luxurious and unnecessary emotions.

Reproduction is such a sacred thing that cannot be restricted by ethics and morality. Reproduction itself is more important than anything else - at least to their tribe.

"Nie Li... come here." Xiao Jian suddenly turned around and shouted.

"Yes." The female orangutan's pleasant voice sounded in the darkness.

Having said that, if Xiao Jian couldn't see or touch her, the sound alone would make people conjure up countless images of beauties.

It's a pity that Xiao Jian can see it, which is a bit embarrassing...

After Xiao Jian told her what Hopper meant, Nie Li was silent for a while, and Hopper looked at Xiao Jian with great confusion.

"What? Do you have any dissatisfaction?" Xiao Jian asked Hopper.

"Don't dare, don't dare..." Hopper waved his hands repeatedly, "But... why do you want to ask her?"

"Shouldn't Nie Li's opinion be respected? Is it your sole responsibility to have a child?" Xiao Jian was also very surprised.

"Isn't it!?" Hopper was shocked.

"……ha?"

Xiao Jian was also shocked...

"What...what is your process?"

Hopper's face was full of confusion, but he still explained: "Hit others, beat them hard, subdue others, and then fuck her... Then guard her for 10 days, and if there is no response, continue to beat her."

Reaction within 10 days?

The counterattack speed is really fast...

...It’s just that this process is so primitive that it makes people unable to complain.

"I...I don't want to have a baby." Nie Li suddenly whispered, "Can I not have a baby?"

"Of course, this is your freedom." Xiao Jian nodded.

But Xiao Jian nodded, but Hopper didn't understand and asked loudly: "Why!?"

"Because... I want to settle down first."

Nie Li's tone was soft and weak, but Xiao Jian could tell that she was gradually becoming firmer:

"Betty had just given birth to a child and started running away. As a result, the child died...Betty has been secretly wiping her tears these days..."

"I want to wait until I settle down to raise a fat baby. I don't want the baby to die soon after birth."

Nie Li said.

But Hopper didn't understand: "Wouldn't it be better if the child was gone?"

"But that child belongs to Hei Rui, and Hei Rui is dead..." Nie Li retorted.

"Isn't it the same as giving birth to my cub..."

"She likes Harry."

Hopper opened his mouth, then muttered a few words in a low voice, but did not refute again.

"So, do you also want a separate room?" Xiao Jian asked at the right time.

"Yes, the Great Eye of Flame." Nie Li replied.

"What about the others? Should we put all the girls together?" Xiao Jian asked.

"!?"

But as soon as this question came out of his mouth, Hopper's eyes widened, as if he had heard something shocking.

"Is it okay?" Nie Li also couldn't believe it.

"What's wrong with this? This is your right." Xiao Jian shrugged.

"Praise you, Great Eye of Flame." Nie Li quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times respectfully, and then happily ran to inform the others.

Soon, bursts of exclamations came from the cave, but since it was an order from the great "Eye of Flame", Xiao Jian's order did not meet any resistance.

After the men and women sealed the cave, Xiao Jian grabbed Hopper, spread his wings and flew up.

"call……"

The strong wind filled Hopper's eyes, ears and even his throat, causing him to make uncomfortable vomiting sounds.

"Shut your mouth, otherwise you will only eat more wind..." Xiao Jian instructed: "Just feel the direction of the water vapor with your heart, and then show me the way."

"Woo!" Hopper whimpered, then stretched out his long arms with "beards" and pointed to the horizon.

What happened next went smoothly.

Under Hopper's guidance, Xiao Jian didn't fly long before he found a huge basin filled with black sand.

Xiao Jian fell on a high ground, and Hopper, who was full of wind, finally stepped on the ground again and lay on the ground vomiting.

Of course, most of what he regurgitated was gas, but occasionally there was some mushy vomit.

But this guy seemed to think it was a pity to spit it out, so he actually ate it again.

Ugh...that's disgusting!

No, he's not qualified yet, so let's use it.

Hopper didn't know that his race had just been upgraded in Xiao Jian's mind, but his disgusting behavior had knocked him back to the category of animals.

Although Xiao Jian knew intellectually that this behavior was caused by lack of supplies, but... it was so disgusting!

When Xiao Jian finally forgot the scene he just saw, Hopper greedily sucked in the air around him.

"Water! It must be water!"

"With such thick vapor, there must be a lot of water here!"

Hopper was dancing with joy, and there was no clue that it was still in a state of "airsickness" just now.

"Go find it... let me see how you get water." Xiao Jian said one after another.

Then, Hopper immediately groped to the edge of the sand basin and put his hand into the black glass sand.

"Water! So much water!"

When Hopper pulled his hands out of the sand, the fluffy hair on his hands and arms were already wet!

Then it gently took its own long hair in its mouth, licked it carefully like a cat licking its fur, and then continued to put its hand into the sand.

After repeating it several times, Hopper finally quenched his thirst, and then jumped directly into the black sand basin, squirming his body into the sand. After a while, he disappeared in the sand, leaving only a slightly squirming small dune.

When Hopper disappeared, Xiao Jian moved his eyes away from the sand and began to carefully observe this huge glass sand basin.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the terrain here did not look natural.

Of course, it is not artificially formed.

The surrounding obsidian peaks are covered with traces of fighting.

It seems that there was once a life-and-death battle between two behemoths here.

Although I don’t know who loses and who wins, the huge sand pit in front of me is obviously one of the masterpieces of the two giant beasts.

Between these glass sands, the water vapor in the air condenses into dew drops, which eventually drip to the bottom of the sand pit, becoming the so-called dew place.

It turns out that this is where the water source of the Black Rock Mountains comes from...

After Hopper emerged from the sand again, Xiao Jian found that its entire "person" had become hydrated, and even the hair on its body had become much more elegant.

"Where did you store the water?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Here." Hopper patted his belly.

"What should we do when we release it?" Xiao Jian was a little curious...because Hopper and the others didn't have cups! And even if there is, how can we catch water on the [Dimensional Folded Skin]?

"That's it..." Hopper reached out and patted his belly, and then the hair on his hand became wet... and then he repeated the process of sucking the hair on his hand.

"..."

Xiao Jian was speechless for a long time before interrupting Hopper's repeated movements.

"Should the shelter be built near here?" Xiao Jian asked.

"No, it's too dangerous near the Dew Land. Almost all monsters will come here to get water." Hopper shook his head, "Stay away from here, but not too far..."

"What about the terrain? How is the terrain similar to the previous rift?" Xiao Jian asked.

"There's no place more perfect than that," Hopper replied.

"That's just right, it's not far away." Xiao Jian directly spread his wings and dragged Hopper to fly to a nearby mountain peak.

There was a small crack there, just enough to meet Hopper's needs.

…

For Xiao Jian, site selection is the most time-consuming. As for building a shelter, modifying the surrounding terrain, and clearing possible dangers around it, it is not easy.

After hunting 5 monsters and obtaining a total of 3 attribute cards, Xiao Jian took Hopper back to collect all his clan members.

For this new home, some are happy and some are sad.

Nie Li and a dozen other female orangutans were happy, but of course the other male orangutans were disappointed.

Because, the dormitory opened by Xiao Jian is not only divided into men and women, but also separated into compartments.

From Xiao Jian's perspective, each orangutan has its own room.

But in the eyes of the male orangutans, such a large room structure cannot be used as a matter of course.

but……

With the emergence of such a relatively private personal space, Xiao Jian saw several male orangutans trying to bribe the female orangutans with meat... Then the two of them entered the room, and soon there was a fierce game of poker. sound.

…
