Chapter 19 Couscous

At this time, Du Yuqi estimated that in just six or seven hours, they had traveled at least 300 kilometers downstream. This speed can be said to be very amazing. The jungle here is not as humid as the tropical rainforest, but there are towering trees everywhere, blocking the sky and making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate. Therefore, the vegetation at the bottom of the jungle is not lush, so the light is dim and looks quite gloomy.

After Jet arrived at the shore and came to the woods, he was like a fish in water. He looked as casual as if he had returned to his home. He asked Du Yuqi to go forward, and from time to time he picked a fungus from the tree next to him and ate it. He even broke a branch and inserted it into the hole in the ground, and then pulled it out and put it in his mouth after a while. It looked like he was eating it very deliciously.

Du Yuqi initially thought that Jet liked to eat twigs, but after a closer look, he discovered that the twigs were covered with red ants, so dense that a timid person would definitely be scared away. However, Jet soon found another ant hole, broke off a twig and inserted it into it. When the ants were all over the hole, he pulled it out and handed it to Du Yuqi for him to eat.

Fortunately, Du Yuqi was very brave. Seeing Jet eating with relish before, he simply closed his eyes and put the twig into his mouth. He immediately felt the feeling of a mouth full of big ants crawling.

However, after Du Yuqi chewed it hard, a stream of juice spurted out from the ant's body. It was a little sour at first, and then it had a slightly sweet taste. It was quite delicious and much more acceptable than Du Yuqi imagined.

Seeing Du Yuqi eating ants happily, Jet also laughed and patted his shoulders. They were exhausted after drifting all the way here. They both felt hungry. Jet signaled to go find food. Du Yuqi stopped him and rummaged in the dimensional ring for a while, and found two barrels of old-style pickled cabbage beef noodles and a few military compressed biscuits.

At this time, Du Yuqi asked Jet to find some clean water, and then took out the outdoor water boiling set: alcohol lamp and small aluminum pot to start heating. As a result, not long after, Jet, the muscle stick, came with a bunch of vines.

When Du Yuqi was wondering, he saw him pull out a vine, and then broke it, and saw clear water flowing out from the broken end. It turned out that he collected a plant called water vine. In such a jungle, wild water sources may hide deadly bacteria and parasites, but plants like water vines can provide clean water sources and can be drunk with peace of mind.

After a while, a scent that must be familiar to the people on Earth, but absolutely unfamiliar to the people on the Arad Continent, wafted out of the forest. The two began to eat instant noodles, and then soaked the general's compressed biscuits in the noodle soup. Jet must have been very happy to eat. He even took Du Yuqi's noodle soup and drank it directly, and also collected the plastic fork.

After the two were full, they continued to move forward. Although it was about to get dark at this time, it was quite dangerous to walk in the dark forest, but Jet was an indigenous resident here, and the Creek tribe he belonged to was completely in a dominant position in this area, so they started to travel overnight.

During the journey, Du Yuqi even heard strange "hissing" sounds from both sides of the road, and the sound of branches being broken, but Jet roared loudly, or held the scimitar behind him and hit it in the scabbard, and these strange noises would disappear immediately.

Jet told Du Yuqi that this area was the activity area of ​​the Dark Curse Cat Demon. These guys were natural predators in the dark and were very difficult to deal with.

However, the Creek tribe not only lived on hunting, but also opened up fields and planted a large amount of food crops "couscous".

This plant is also called the Chaos Flower. Its swollen rhizomes growing underground are used as staple food (similar to radishes). Du Yuqi has seen that this thing is somewhat similar to cassava on Earth, and the way to eat it is also similar. It is estimated that they are related plants.

The Creek tribe only needs the mature rhizomes of "couscous", while the cat demons like the fruits of this thing. In this case of plant/food as a bond, the two sides have a wonderful symbiotic relationship, so the cat demons can suppress their hunting desires and live in harmony with the goblin tribe.

It is said that "Gus Gus" is a unique product of the Creek tribe. It was cultivated from seeds found by an elder in a relic several decades ago. It is unique and there is no such thing in other places.

After hearing what he said, Du Yuqi also paid attention and found that there were indeed faint black shadows running and jumping in the jungle at an amazing speed, and he could vaguely hear strange whispers. It was also thanks to Jet that he revealed the whole story. Otherwise, if a timid person came, even if he was not attacked by these monsters, he would be scared to death on the spot.

The two trekked in the dense forest for three or four hours. During this period, they also crossed mountains and ridges, jumped over waterfalls, climbed vines to cross rivers, and walked a lot of straight-line distances. Finally, a continuous fire appeared in front of them, which seemed to cover the sunny side of the entire mountain. The momentum alone was very magnificent. There was also a road on the ground, with crude totem poles on both sides of the road.

To put it simply, this totem pole is actually a wooden stick with a skull on it. Of course, there are various special patterns on the wooden stick, which are very recognizable. After entering the range of the totem pole, it is the gathering place of Jet's tribe-the Creek tribe, called "Kuwa City", which means "the city of reproduction".

After approaching here, Du Yuqi found that Jet's status in the tribe is indeed very high. When approaching Kuwa City, he had already encountered many patrols. These patrols were originally quite hostile to Du Yuqi, but after seeing Jet, they all took the initiative to unarm and salute, and some would half-kneel on the ground, and at the same time, the hostility towards Du Yuqi disappeared.
