In the tree palace, in the central area of the dense forest on the west side of the Dinglong Mountains, the forest apes have been living here for an unknown length of time.
Compared with the forest apes of the Naning tribe, Xinka's lineage is much smaller in number, but their bloodline seems to be older and more pure, and their average body size is also larger than that of the forest apes of the Naning tribe. Quite a few.
The question that puzzles Ye Qiong now is the time when the forest ape appeared in this dense forest area.
Have they always lived here, or have they migrated from other places with the ancestors of the Naning tribe.
If they had lived here for generations, then the history of this tree palace would be a bit terrifying.
Tree palaces and stone and wood buildings built by humans will gradually wear away over time.
But the tree palace built by this forest ape is completely different. Most of the vegetation used to build it is living. The forest ape will prune it every year, so overall, this tree palace can be regarded as a As a whole, after so many years of efforts by the forest apes, they have now been completely integrated.
Vegetation can be grafted. For example, persimmons can be grafted directly onto jujube trees. The higher the blood affinity between the vegetation, the better the grafting effect will be.
This technology has peak propagation significance for some fruit trees that do not produce seeds.
Most of the vegetation around the tree palace belongs to the same subspecies and has a strong affinity, so the vegetation is intertwined with each other. When the skin at the joint is completely wrapped, the inside will have the opportunity to be connected together, achieving a disguised form. The effect of grafting.
Therefore, the tree palace in this dense forest is originally alive. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monster that has lived for countless years.
If the forest apes did not live here before, but migrated here with the ancestors of the Naning tribe, then the history of this place can be traced back.
As for the wooden house in the core area, if this tree palace is really regarded as a living organism, this is its heart.
Ye Qiong now has a bone crystal dagger, and the bone crystal dagger has received the energy exerted on it by the lord forest ape. For ordinary forest apes, this energy is a blood-suppressing force. Ye Qiong When holding the bone crystal dagger, one thing is now certain, that is, he can make the forest apes within a certain distance around him obedient.
Now Ye Qiong is fully confident, and on the premise of holding the bone crystal dagger, let Xinka take him to the wooden house in the tree palace, but doing so will not be in line with Ye Qiong's original intention, so after this idea comes up , and was immediately suppressed by Ye Qiong.
Ye Qiong now knows the nature of Xinka and the tree palace here. They can fight to the death for Qingzhi and Qinglie without hesitation, but if you want to control them by other means, it will probably be counterproductive. …
The tree house is there, and there is no way to escape anyway. Ye Qiong believes that Xinka will take him in one day to take a look. It either contains some secrets of the ancestors of the Naning tribe, or it is about the ancient forest apes. The probability has a lot to do with the lord-level forest ape.
Qing Zhi took some ingredients and walked out of the wooden house, and lit a fire skillfully. In just a moment, a strong fragrance filled the tree palace.
The aroma of rice with mushroom stew...
Although it sounds a bit like the Northeast chicken stewed with mushrooms, the taste and texture are completely different.
The mushrooms Na Ning took out from the wooden house were collected by the forest apes from a cliff far to the south during the summer.
Although the difficulty of collecting is much greater than that in the dense forest, the taste of this kind of mushroom is incomparable to those in the dense forest. The mushrooms growing on the cliff are drier because of the rock wall. Rich in various trace elements.
Even without any seasoning, it still has a very good taste.
Simba, who had been following Qing Zhi, seemed very honest at the moment. After the meat in the pot was stewed and became fragrant, he started to hang around the pot.
Before Qing Zhi could do anything, several forest apes jumped down from the treetops, holding the shabby-looking earthen jars in their arms.
But when Ye Qiong saw those earthen jars, his eyes immediately lit up.
That stuff is good stuff, much better than the fruit wine brewed by the central tribe.
The earthen jar that looks shabby, but the wine inside is the best in the world.
For the tribe, the fruit wine brewed by the tribe can only be enjoyed on special days. Most of them are made from one or several fruits crushed and fermented together, so the taste is relatively single. .
Small tribes that migrate all year round cannot collect many fruits in the plains and hilly areas.
In the dense forest, there are not too many wild fruits. Almost all fruit plants are edible. Even if one or two kinds are poisonous, after mixing them together, the poisonous effect will be difficult to exert. On the contrary, the brewed fruit wine will be , more delicious.
When Ye Qiong drank it for the first time, he wanted to get a few jars and put them in the central tribe for storage.
However, this kind of wine is the kind that makes you lose one jar after drinking it. In the summer, after all, you still need to spend a lot of time collecting supplies and hunting monsters. Compared with meat, food like melons and fruits are less important in filling. Before the technology is formed, if you want to store it for a longer time, it must be air-dried as much as possible.
But there is a big difference between the drying of fruits and the drying of meat.
The water content of melons and fruits is very high, and after drying, it basically disappears, and it is difficult to store. Whether it is heavy rains in summer or severe cold weather in winter, dried fruits are easily affected by moisture and can become moldy if not careful. , turned into poison.
Moreover, some fruits with extremely high water content, such as those with a water content of more than 90%, will disappear immediately after drying...
For example, grapes and the like have some value in air-drying, but for watermelons and the like, air-drying is a joke.
Meat is different. It doesn't need to be completely air-dried. As long as a layer of fat can be weathered on the outside, it can be stored for a very long time.
Therefore, for the long winter, both human tribes and forest apes must hunt as many small animals as possible, dry them into dried meat and store them.
Compared with fighting with Warcraft, hunting small beasts has no risk, but if warriors of a tribe want to gain more strength, they must hunt Warcraft.
There is no way to obtain that special energy by eating the meat of fruit trees and small animals. If the warriors cannot become stronger, it will actually be a vicious cycle for the small tribe...
