After a shipwreck, Li Qing arrives in a primordial world where dinosaurs, ferocious beasts, and humans coexist.
The story... begins here!
...The area Li Qing is currently exploring is much more familiar to Da Hei than Li Qing is, so Da Hei is basically leading Li Qing around.
They walked very slowly; at this moment, they felt no pressure and there was no need to rush around like they were in a war zone.
Li Qing took this opportunity as a "autumn outing," leisurely enjoying the surrounding scenery while plotting his scheme.
Li Qing had made an agreement with Blackfoot that after eliminating the Black Wind Tribe, three days later, the White Feather Tribe could send someone to contact the Red Flower Tribe. Once everything was agreed upon, they would immediately launch an attack, swiftly and decisively defeating the unsuspecting Black Wind Tribe.
Three days was a period of time that Li Qing was confident he could manage. Once everything was done, he could free up time to properly "renovate" the tribe—the most important part of which was teaching the tribe members how to build their thatched huts.
Even if you're healthy and won't catch a cold at night, and with Baihu around, you won't have to worry about attracting mosquitoes, sleeping on the ground is still incredibly undignified!
Unfortunately, the cave is reserved for the chieftain and the shaman; ordinary people can't just go in to sleep!
Wow!
Li Qing was drawn to a flower in front of her.
"What beautiful morning glories!"
The morning glories in front of me are purple, with a very vibrant color. If you get close, you can smell a refreshing fragrance from them.
This flower is also a very common flower in modern times, but the morning glory here is more vibrant in color, as if an extra thick layer of dye has been added to it.
Several little bees were flying around near the morning glory, and some landed in the center of the flower to absorb the nectar.
Dahei gave Li Qing a disdainful look, clearly thinking that Li Qing was making a fuss over nothing.
Flowers like these are everywhere here.
Who gets this excited just from seeing a single flower?
"Can't I find an excuse to cheer myself up?"
Li Qing made a comment.
Dahei ignored Li Qing and continued to stroll forward. Li Qing admired the morning glory for a moment and then ran after it.
Most of the flowers he encountered along the way were common flowers and trees, like morning glories. Occasionally, he would come across some edible flowers, such as broom flowers, and Li Qing would put them in his mouth to taste. In his previous life, Li Qing had some stomach problems and would always get diarrhea from eating flowers. In this life, he could eat raw meat without any problems, so eating a little flower was no problem for him.
The surrounding environment is quite pleasant, and the climate is very comfortable. There were no dangerous wild animals along the way. Although it seemed like Li Qing had been walking for a long time, he could actually return to the tribe quickly by simply turning back and walking in a straight line.
While taking a walk, Li Qing kept an eye on the sun's position. Although it was safe here for the time being, he didn't want to gamble with his life at night. So, he was determined to return to the tribe before the sun went down.
This time, Li Qing did not venture deeper into the forest. Instead, he used a strange flower as a marker and began to walk left and right.
They have already traveled far enough; if they go any further, it will take even longer to return to the tribe, which is disadvantageous for them.
The flower resembles a purple olive in appearance, with a very tall stem. The stamens are hidden by layers of petals, and perhaps because the stamens are almost invisible, no bees were seen here.
After bypassing the left side, Li Qing returned to the area with its many purple lace trims and began walking to the right.
After observing for so long, Li Qing felt a little strange.
He didn't see any living creatures along the way, except for himself and Big Black, which he found somewhat illogical.
The climate here is pleasant and the environment is very comfortable, which should be very suitable for wild animals to live in. But why is there not a single wild animal here? Not only large carnivores and dinosaurs, but even some weak herbivores can't be seen. What caused them to leave? Thinking of the simultaneous disappearance of wild animals in the White Feather Tribe and the Moonstone area, Li Qing felt increasingly puzzled.
Li Qing couldn't think of an answer yet. He squatted down and touched the soil under his feet. The soil was very soft, and when he smelled it, it had a slightly pungent, natural odor. It was also a bit damp, making it a very good type of soil. This place was very suitable for planting. If they were lucky enough to get various fruit tree seeds from the Qingye tribe in the future, they could plant the seeds all over this place. Next autumn, when the fruit ripened, it would be another stable source of food.
Standing up, Li Qing leaned against a tree and looked at the sky.
The sky was cloudless, and the sun was gradually setting in the west. Judging by the time, it should be around four o'clock in the afternoon.
It's time to go back.
Li Qing thought to himself.
It was already quite late. Even though there were no living beings here who could pose a threat to them, Li Qing didn't want to keep the people of the tribe waiting. He had always been a punctual person, at all times.
Just as Li Qing was about to ask Dahei to lead the way, he noticed that Dahei, which had been showing little interest, suddenly arched its body on the ground and began to sniff the ground.
Big Black's tail drooped naturally, proving that what made Big Black do this was not "danger." Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little puzzled as to what was making Big Black so excited.
He had only been pondering this question for a second when Big Black suddenly ran towards a deeper area ahead.
The steps were quick, but Li Qing could sense a sense of "lightness" in Da Hei's back, as if something it was eagerly anticipating was waiting for it ahead.
Li Qing couldn't think of anything besides food that could excite Dahei so much. "Could there be food ahead? No, if there really was, the tribe wouldn't have bothered sending a hunting party to Liangmeng River."
Feeling very curious, and not wanting to be left standing there alone, Li Qing chased after Da Hei.
Dahei controlled his running speed, deliberately waiting for Li Qing to catch up before speeding up and running forward.
"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Qing said, panting heavily.
Of course, Dahei wouldn't answer Li Qing. It simply showed Li Qing through its actions that what was in front of them was really important and worth seeing!
Along the way, Li Qing didn't see much of note. Most of the sights were flowers and plants, with no wild animals or living creatures. For Li Qing, these weren't particularly important places to pay attention to. After all, they had evolved from "apes" into humans, and he didn't want to live a life of eating flowers and grass all day long.
After a while, as the man and dog ran at a steady pace, the scene ahead suddenly changed.
Li Qing stopped and followed behind Da Hei, panting as he looked at the scenery ahead, his eyes lighting up.
What's going on?
Li Qing wondered to himself.
He could hardly believe his eyes, because if the place he had been in before was still a primeval jungle—but that assumption meant nothing, since it actually was!
So... this place is practically an orchard!
