my stealth fighter

Chapter 977 Offerings
Jiang Chanji came back with a clay pot of water, put the pot next to the fire and roasted it, it is estimated that the water will be boiled in a while, and the new generation of apes watched him with awe and curiosity, when he looked away When it passed, it quickly lowered its head again.

The dean is still dozing off. She exhausted both physical and mental energy yesterday, so she really should have a good rest. Unfortunately, he can't make her sleep more comfortably. It is comfortable to sleep against the stone wall, but if you move her, she will wake up, which is self-defeating.

He was thinking about what to eat in the morning, and it was best to eat fish. The fish yesterday was really good, but the fish in the dark river were too small to look delicious.

He moved his eyes to the ape-man again. They came here intending to catch a cryptomonkey, but they found it by accident. Instead, it was unintentional. If it could cooperate, it would be much better than the cryptomonkey , its current ideology, or soul form, probably won't be confused by floating lanterns?
It's also helpful in other ways, like being able to tell you what to eat and what not to eat, but at the end of the day you have to be careful, dying from food poisoning is ugly.

He tried to recall that last night he seemed to have seen the head of the school make a gesture of "eat" with it, so he made a gesture of raising his head to pick up food and put it in his mouth, and asked where he could find it.

It turned around and pointed to the direction of the dark river. Jiang Chanji shook his head. He didn't want to eat those small fish, but pointed out of the cave, meaning that it would go outside with him to find food.

It could be seen that it was a little afraid of him, hesitated and didn't move, and didn't know what it was afraid of. It had died once, could it die again?But just because it died once, even if it didn't want to cooperate, he didn't seem to be able to force it. He could only talk about it after the dean woke up.

He simply gestured to it, meaning to go out to find food by himself, and tell her when the dean woke up, so as not to worry her—it agreed.

When he came outside the cave, even though it was still dark outside, it was no longer the kind of darkness where he could barely see his fingers. The morning breeze with high oxygen content was really refreshing, and he was refreshed after taking a deep breath. He didn’t delay any longer. He planned to go back to the lake to catch fish. The lake is very big. As long as the direction is right, he will not miss it.

When he came back with a fish of the same type as yesterday, the pot of water had already boiled, and the dean had already woken up, washing his face by the dark river—in fact, it was Fu Su who woke her up with a message. She needs to deal with many things, such as how to explain her disappearance to the outside world.

Jiang Chanji also brought the live fish to the dark river for processing. This fish was basically their food for the whole day.

After half a day and a half night of communication, the relationship between the new generation of ape-men and the dean seems to be quite harmonious. Since the dean woke up, they have circled around her. While he was handling the fish, they were reviewing yesterday's gestures and communicating with each other. The efficiency is already very high. If you want to compare it with humans, it may be easier to communicate than some seven or eight-year-old brats.

"Dean, don't make gestures, let's eat first, today is a long day." Jiang Chanji picked up a few fragments of clay pots, cleaned them and used them as plates, holding a piece of grilled fish and handed them to she.

"Thank you... I was supposed to take care of you, but you did everything..." the dean sighed regretfully.

"It's more important to communicate with it. We each perform our duties." Jiang Chanji hurriedly interrupted: "What did you talk to it about? It seems to be very close to you."

The dean is not used to eating big fish and meat in the morning, so she has no appetite, but in order to survive, she can only force herself to eat slowly.

"If I understand correctly, she seems to have been in this cave since she was born." The dean used the word "she" to refer to her, "I have hardly left this cave since I was a child, and she was regarded by their tribe as... a saint Come to raise it, so it is very simple."

"What? The saint?" Jiang Chanji almost choked, but considering the superstitious primitive tribes, it doesn't seem too strange. In this way, it didn't want to come out of the cave with him just now, could it be because it has never been out before? ?
"It roughly means this. It is a pure woman who is very holy and of high status, but she is not a priest or a chief." The head of the academy nodded affirmatively, "If you want to ask why she was chosen as a saint, I don't know, she herself I don’t know clearly, or maybe I didn’t understand it. Don’t think it’s a beautiful thing. Although the saint has been pampered since she was a child, it’s because she is ready to offer it to the heavens and gods as sacrifices at any time—outside Those remains of the stone piles are the original altar."

Jiang Chanji had a good meal, but when he heard this, he felt a little disgusted. It really is an ignorant and wild primitive tribe, and they even conduct blood sacrifices. It can only be said that they deserve to perish.In fact, the reason for choosing it as a saint is probably very simple. It must be extremely talented, otherwise it would be impossible to retain consciousness or soul after death.

"Wait a minute, the sacrifice to the gods you're talking about doesn't mean..." He pointed upwards, "Those things, right?"

"Exactly." The dean glanced at it sideways, and continued: "But she didn't wait for that day, her tribe perished, and the rest of them ran away. She stayed alone in this cave, relying on The water and fish in the dark river are alive, but one day they will die."

Jiang Chanji frowned. Although he knew that those floating lanterns were scavengers yesterday, he didn't expect the apes to use the flesh and blood of their compatriots to feed them?Isn't this disgusting?
The dean shook his head, "Their sacrifices may not be used as food...but I'm not sure about this, she has never seen other people being sacrificed, because when she was living, due to the severe cold, she was floating in the air. Lanterns are rare, and she lived longer than expected because of them."

Compared to this, Jiang Chanji was more concerned about whether it could help kill the floating lanterns so as to advance their plan to go home.

The dean couldn't take it anymore, so he started gesticulating with it again. When it understood what she wanted to explain, its face and eyes immediately showed infinite shock and panic. Obviously, it didn't dare to imagine killing those who they saw. It is a floating lantern for the gods, probably for fear of being condemned by the gods.

The dean was trying to do her ideological work, but she didn't agree with it no matter what. In desperation, she could only change the way of saving the country with a curve, and asked it if it would like to leave the cave with them, or at least leave temporarily.
