It is reported that there have been frequent stalking incidents in the Gobi Desert recently, and most of the victims are lizard beastmen.
According to the recollections of a certain lizard beastman who did not want to reveal his name, he met the two suspects, a small female beastman and a large snake half-beastman, on a moonlit night.
They followed him through two rocky beaches and did not leave. Finally, when it was almost dawn, the female beastman shook her head, and the two left in another direction.
The victim thought that the shaking of her head was the female beastman's assessment of whether he was delicious. Fortunately, he was old and had thick skin and flesh, so he survived.
Another victim who was also stalked said that he had a fight with the two suspects, but they didn't fight. He only remembered that he was thrown away by the snake orc after he rushed forward. When he woke up, he was in a rock crevice. There was a stone placed on the crevice to block his sun.
So far, no casualties have been found. However, the stalking incident has caused panic among the lizardmen. Recently, they have called friends to travel with them to avoid being targeted.
The reporters on the front line will continue to follow up and report on the follow-up of the incident.
...
"Strange, are all the lizards here social animals? Why are the lizard beastmen I've seen recently all in groups?" Song Xu saw from afar a dozen lizardmen on the Gobi Beach slithering across a sand dune, like the boss in the early gangster movies walking the streets with a group of suited minions.
She told the big snake beside her her guess: "Could they have made an appointment to fight? The scale of the group fight is huge. This place is really full of grumpy guys."
Song Xu has stopped observing the lizardmen these two days.
There are not many kinds of lizardmen in this place. She has seen them all. They are basically wild men with dusty faces, which caused her to gradually lose interest... On the other hand, snakes are prone to conflicts with others. For example, two drunken brothers on Northeast Street would start fighting as soon as they saw each other. Song Xu was tired of trying to persuade them
to stop. After this period of interest passed, they began to avoid those violent beastmen.
There is little water in this place, so Song Xu had to use his previous knowledge to find water from some plants.
Each place has some special living habits due to different environments. A big tree passed by had smooth bark, but there were many cuts and scabs on the trunk, stacked layer by layer on the lower part of the tree. Seeing such a tree here, Song Xu knew that this was a public water source.
Use an animal tooth knife to cut a hole in the trunk, and transparent sap will seep out from inside. Use leaves to roll up to collect the water.
The sap with the green taste of tree bark moisturizes the dry lips and throat, and it seems to have a sweet aftertaste when you taste it carefully.
Song Xu drank a sip herself and gave a sip to Sheshe. She quickly quenched her thirst and began to concentrate on collecting sap for Wumu. Wumu also followed her example to collect sap.
He never knew there was such a desolate place where there was no water source. This was the first time he tried to quench his thirst in this way.
When he was still anxiously unable to find a water source, the squirrel saw the tree next to him and asserted that there must be drinkable sap in it. This surprised him.
Song Xu would occasionally cut off thorny plants, peel off the thick skin and the sharp thorns outside, and eat the flesh inside. He ate it himself and let him eat it.
The astringent green flesh was also something Wumu had never tasted before. He didn't like the taste very much, but he still had to eat it when he couldn't find water. At this time, the squirrel would hold a piece of flesh and chew it while laughing. It was really bad to see him having a hard time swallowing it.
"I don't know if we can find an oasis. It would be great if we could meet an orc and ask him. The locals should know, right?" Song Xu explained to Wumu where the oasis was.
I don't know what happened. Some time ago, we could see lizardmen gathering together, but recently no orcs were seen.
After talking for a long time, the next day Song Xu and his companions really met a group of orcs. That group of tall animals carrying things on their backs walking on the sand pile is simply the most common desert scenery photo.
"It's a wild camel!" Song Xu cheered.
"Orc." Wu Mu said. He had never seen a camel, and he also took a second look at this creature that had appeared in Song Xu's mouth.
In order to prevent the camel orcs from being frightened and running away, resulting in failure to ask for directions, Wu Mu stopped at a distance, and Song Xu went over alone to ask. The team of camel orcs noticed the big snake orcs not far away, but they were not panicked.
The leading old orc Yuanqiu had led the team to many places and had a lot of experience. She observed Song Xu carefully and found that he was a squirrel orc.
This is very strange, there are no squirrel beastmen living here, and no squirrel beastmen will come here.
"Oasis? We are going there, you can follow us." Yuanqiu said calmly.
She had big eyes and long eyelashes, and she was carrying a lot of things on her beast-like back, such as animal skins and stones. Song Xu didn't look closely, but he noticed that they also had a lot of big water bottles hanging on them, which were made of hard fruit shells.
Song Xu called Sheshe to follow, and walked beside Yuanqiu's hoof and talked to her.
"We came back from exchanging things with other tribes. Our place is quite desolate and we lack many things, so I often take some of my tribesmen out to other tribes to exchange. You guys, you shouldn't live nearby, why are you walking so far, where are you going?"
"I don't know, just keep going." The other party's attitude was good, and Song Xu's tone was also particularly well-behaved and lively, "By the way, maybe we should go find a tiger beastman."
"Tiger beastman? Oh... I seem to have seen a tiger beastman nearby a few years ago. There are no tigers in our place, and many tribesmen have seen tigers for the first time. I have a deep impression." Yuanqiu remembered.
Tiger? No way, is it such a coincidence, did I meet Wumu's mother again? Song Xu immediately picked up the tiger tooth necklace buried in the fur on his waist: "Look at this, is that tiger beastman called Heisen, and is he wearing this tiger tooth necklace?"
Yuanqiu thought about it, but couldn't remember: "It seems that he was wearing it, but it seems that he wasn't. I can't remember it. I'm old."
A dull male voice came from the silent camel beastman team behind: "It's called Heisen, and he's wearing a tiger tooth necklace."
Yuanqiu looked back and suddenly laughed: "Yes, Baisha must remember it better than me. You can ask him. He picked him up and asked if he could be his partner, but he was rejected."
Song Xu:?
The squirrel suddenly got excited, raised his ears, and looked back: Which one? Which one is it? Which one is Baisha? Let me see!
A tall camel was squeezed out of the camel beast team by his companions. With two tall humps, it looked very relaxed even though it carried more things than the hills. Its whole body was covered with brown and yellow fur, and its face looked a bit like a sheep, rather innocent.
He looked at his companions who squeezed him out of the team with a reproachful look, and said helplessly to the squirrel that trotted over, "That was several years ago."
"Tell me as much as you can remember. Thank you very much!" Song Xu was filled with joy at the story.
Baisha said, "I found her under a nearby bare rock. She fainted because she was thirsty and hungry. I fed her water and she woke up. As soon as she woke up, she bit me. It seems that she was too hungry and thought I was an ordinary camel."
He showed a shallow mark on her lower leg.
Song Xu: How come every time I heard about the tiger mother from other beastmen, she was eating beastmen? Although it failed.
Wumu's mother really ate wherever she went. Wumu wanted to fight with beastmen, but she saw the beastmen were about to bite people. She is indeed a tiger.
"Many beastmen from other places are not used to this place, so it's not the first time we have picked up a fainted beastman, it happens all the time." Baisha said.
Because they often pick up strange beastmen, the camel beastmen are so calm when they see strange beastmen. Sure enough, the more you know, the less you will be surprised.
"She got lost, and after she woke up, she followed us for a while. She was very powerful, and she helped us drive away a group of beastmen who wanted to steal things." At this point, the big camel's tone fluctuated a little, which shows that this incident left a deep impression on him, and also shows that the tiger mother was handsome enough at that time.
The group of beastmen who often came to rob were from a mixed tribe. Camels were not good at fighting and used to run away. They would go into the heart of the desert and shake off the beastmen chasing them. But that time, the majestic big cat rushed forward and solved more than 20 beastmen by himself. He
was hit directly into the sky by the huge tiger, stepped into the sand, and had his stomach bitten... Only a few of the beastmen who came to rob returned, and they dared not to come to the vicinity to rob for a long time.
Baisha still remembers the tiger with orange hair and black stripes, blood on its mouth, cold teeth, and the way it walked back step by step with its tail swung. The pads of flesh left a string of flower-like footprints on the sand.
"She likes to climb up to the bare rock to sleep. It's so high, and she can get up there easily." The big camel started talking. "She also likes to run in the sand. She likes these sand dunes."
So he thought that if she liked it here, she would be willing to stay here, but she was rejected without hesitation.
"I have something to do, so I'm leaving." She said so, and later she learned how to find the way and left here quickly.
Song Xu: "Wow--"
The big camel quickly finished telling the whole story of acquaintance, and then rushed into the team again, using his companions' bodies to shield himself, looking very embarrassed. Song Xu also heard the laughter of several camels. It seems that everyone knows about this past.
After hearing the story, Song Xu ran to the anxiously waiting snake and shared the story of Tiger Mother with him.
The simple description from the camel was recounted by Song Xu, and Snake heard the adapted version of the story from the squirrel. The tiger heroine was stranded in a small tribe in the desert. She was rescued when she was thirsty. To repay her gratitude, she escorted a caravan. On the way, she bravely fought off the robbers and won the heart of the young man in the caravan. After the job was done, she left in style, leaving behind a crazy lover.
"At that time, the sun was setting, she was covered in the blood of the enemy, her eyes were cold, she walked towards Baisha and asked: 'Are you okay?' Between heaven and earth, everything was silent, and Baisha could clearly hear the sound of his heartbeat..." Song Xu spoke vigorously, with even gestures and dubbing.
Wu Mu listened and felt something was wrong. Why did Song Xu say that she was watching and knew what Heisen said?
