Chapter 23 Oil Turtle
With a bit of aggrieved "whimper", Ye turned around holding the tortoise, leaving his back to Rudama.

Uh... he, he can keep his tail outside when he turns into a human form, instead of retracting it.The tail extends from his rear coccyx and wraps around the front of his body.Rudama touched it, her tail was a little tense and trembling slightly.Rudama stroked his tail around to the front of the night, only to find that his tail was held in the mouth by the big turtle.

No wonder, no wonder.No wonder Ye turned back into a human form and left his tail outside, it was bitten by a turtle.Rudama wanted to snicker, but when she saw Ye's purple eyes showing shyness and pain, and looking at her as if asking for help, Rudama's heart softened, and she felt that she was really unkind.

Rudama moved the tortoise shell and looked around, trying to help Ye rescue the tail.Unexpectedly, every time she moved the tortoise, Ye would make two "haha" sounds, and she knew it was extremely painful, and it seemed that the more she bit the tortoise, the tighter it was.Rudama has only heard that the big old turtle will bite and not let go, and it will bite more and more tightly. Could it be the same with today's turtle?
Rudama didn't dare move the tortoise anymore, it would be a big trouble if he bit harder and bit off Ye's tail.Eyeball rolled, hey!Got an idea.She asked Ye to gently put the turtle with a shrinking neck into the stream, and waited slowly without moving.After a long time, the tortoise felt that there was no danger, quietly stretched out its head, let go of Ye's tail, turned around, and swam towards the center of the stream at its fastest speed.

As soon as Ye's tail was released, it rushed towards the tortoise trying to escape like a black lightning. Rudama didn't even see when he turned into a leopard.Claws raised and claws fell, and when Rudama saw clearly, the tortoise's head was firmly nailed to the sand and rocks at the bottom of the stream by Ye's sharp claws.

The other claw stretched out towards the tiny tail of the tortoise, and another claw quickly raised and lowered, and red blood streaks and some kind of yellow liquid fainted in the stream.

Afterwards, Ye turned into a human form and picked up the tortoise whose head was smashed by him and walked out of the stream, came to Rudama's side, raised his left hand and shook it at her, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.He held a broken tail in his hand.

Rudama twitched the corners of his eyes, he was really a narrow-minded man who must get revenge.Ignoring the hapless giant tortoise, Rudama patted Ye, turned him into a leopard, and checked his tail.

This big tortoise is really ruthless, looking at the wound, Rudama felt his heart twitch.There is a wound with the length of the little finger, the fur is turned out, and the bone is deep. Fortunately, Ye has a super healing ability, and the bleeding has gradually scabbed.No wonder Ye wanted to cut off the tortoise's tail. If it happened to him, he would have to take revenge.

Rudama drew stream water to help him clean the wound, and took some plant ash to apply on it.Hugging his tail and blowing gently, he asked, "Ye, does it hurt?"

Ye rubbed Rudama's arm with his fluffy black head, and let out a soft "whimper" from his throat, as if seeking comfort.

Rudama rubbed his head and scratched his chin.

After appeasing Haoye and ordering him not to transform until the wound on his tail healed, Rudama began to study the turtle.

She took a fancy to the tortoise's solid and thick shell, and cleaned it out to make a pot for boiling hot water, which must be more useful than wood.Rudama has always been a man of action, he does what he thinks.She took out the bone knife and began to strike at the dead turtle the size of a washbasin.

With a knife, Rudama found that the blood of the tortoise was different from other animals. There were only traces of red, most of which were milky yellow, and it felt a little sticky, like butter.Because the hand was on the edge of the fire, a few drops of the tortoise's blood splashed into the fire, and there was a sound of "poof", and the flame seemed to be ignited a little bit.

Uh... is it really oil?
Rudama dipped some tortoise blood in a branch and held it to the fire. Suddenly, the branch burned like a match. Unlike usual, it takes a while for small sparks to appear on the branch.

Great, even if it's not oil, this blood must be a good fuel for combustion.Then the problem of keeping the fire is solved, and there is no fear that the fire will go out in the winter night.Rudama hugged the big tortoise shell and giggled "hehe".

It wasn't until Ye couldn't stand it anymore that she uttered two "woo-wah" to bring her back to her senses.

After cleaning the tortoise's shell, Rudama filled it with some water and hung it on the fire.It's really good, it's fire-proof and leak-proof, and it's durable, but it's a bit heavy, but Rudama is very satisfied.And she also discovered that the fat of the turtle is as good as its blood as a fuel for combustion, so it can be used for multiple purposes.Rudama decided to call this kind of turtle "oil turtle".

The fuel to preserve the fire was found, but a new problem arose.

An oil turtle's fat and blood are very limited and will be used up soon, so where can she find such an oil turtle?

The oil turtle's habitat must have water, so the oil turtle must have come along the stream to appear here.In other words, as long as you look for it along the stream, you can find it?
Thinking of this, Rudama suddenly became enlightened.

In the past few days, she prepared winter clothes first, and she had to prepare several for herself, and two for night.After she finished her clothes, and the wound on Lai Yewei's tail would be healed, they went to look for the oil turtle.

Three days later, Rudama pointed to the tortoise shell that she used as a cooking pot, "Ye, let's go find the oil tortoise, look for this, tortoise!"Ye Ze was full of confusion but obediently followed her along the stream to go deeper into the canyon.

Originally, Rudama had always thought that the only residents in the canyon were her and Ye, except for the flying birds and the fish, shrimp, and crabs in the stream.Today she saw that there are other "residents" here, but they are also weak herbivorous animals. How does the saying come from "One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female", so here except Ye, the "lord of the canyon", will no longer appear ferocious carnivorous animals, and when they appear, they are here to grab the territory.

Uh... Rudama never thought about it, is she considered the "one mother"?Or a herbivore?

Of course, to say that these herbivorous animals are weak, this "small" is a relative term, and if compared with similar animals in the 21st century, they are still "big mac".Rudama thought that the reason why she hadn't seen it must be because these animals didn't dare to approach her and Ye's place of residence because of Ye's "pretentious power".

Rudama held a big straight tree stick in his hand, and one end of the stick was tied with a bit of sharpened animal bone. How should I put it, it looked like a primitive man's hunting spear.This is a weapon she made for herself, just in case, if there is a beast or something, she doesn't want to be a drag on the night.

Rudama walked ahead along the stream, and Ye followed behind with some confusion.Just watched Rudama walking all the way, looking at her from time to time.

"Is she looking for the beast that hurt her that day?" - this is the thought in Yexian's mind.He knew that what Rudama was holding was powerful, and at noon he watched Rudama poke a prey to death with it.Rudama called it a "weapon."
