Chapter 7 Totem?
Vic examined Richard and carefully discovered that the prey Richard brought this time had only a wound on the neck.
As the most outstanding hunter in the Tiger Tribe, Vic knew very well how powerful the tiger was. However, even for a powerful tiger, it was unlikely to bite the neck of an agile wild deer every time.
Although he was a little confused, his hands were not idle. He took the prey from the mouths of Dahuang and the others. Although he had to help the group of tigers barbecue it, the tigers could not finish such a large prey in one meal.
Not to mention that the wound on the prey this time was very small, so we could peel off the best skin. The Tiger Tribe was reluctant to use such top-quality skins, and used them to exchange for weapons and food from the big tribes.
When he took over, he found that the three wild deer were the same as Richard's, with wounds only on the neck.
Could it be that this friendly tiger has become a monster?
It's unlikely. When Vic was young, he left Tiger Mountain and traveled to other tribes. He even saw tribes that could kill monsters. Of course, these tribes also relied on the advantages of numbers and terrain. It took them a whole day to consume the magic power of the monsters before they could successfully kill them.
Not to mention Tiger Mountain’s neighbor, the Earth Bear.
The most notable change in these magical beasts is their size. Each magical beast is two or three times the size of an ordinary animal.
This is also the reason why Richard did not seek revenge on the Earth Bear even though he was able to cast spells. When the Warcraft awakens its magic power, it can not only condense magic crystals in its body, but also develop a second time and increase its size dramatically.
Vic took out a small metal knife, which was a good thing he had recently exchanged from the big tribe for ten skins. Normally, he would only use it when skinning people.
It was the first time that Richard saw something made of metal in the Tiger Tribe, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.
The back of the knife is very wide, probably made by forging, and the blade is polished to a shine.
"This is what my father exchanged for the skin from the Qinghe tribe the day before yesterday. Isn't it beautiful?" Vic was worried that Elsa would damage the deer skin, so he took the wild deer from her.
Elsa sat cross-legged on a stone bench, and regardless of whether Richard could understand her or not, she continued, "The Qinghe tribe is the most powerful tribe nearby. They have thousands of people, and they have things like knives like this. The weapons they make are much more useful than the weapons in the tribe."
As she spoke, she suddenly took out a pendant from her chest. It was a whistle that was polished and smooth, also made of metal. "How about it? Isn't it beautiful? This was bought by my father in exchange for a piece of leather."
Richard took the whistle with his paw and wanted to put it in his mouth to try to blow it, but Elsa hurriedly said: "This thing is not edible."
"Dudu."
A deep voice came out of Richard's mouth. Elsa was stunned. "It turns out that the merchant is not a liar. I thought she cheated me out of my leather. At that time, she could make a sound when she put it in her mouth, but after I bought it, it couldn't make any sound."
It turns out you can't even whistle. Richard was just curious because it was his first time seeing iron tools in this plane, so he whistled to Elsa.
After Elsa took it, she held it in her mouth, but no sound came out. She looked at Richard with wide eyes.
Richard saw this and wrote two words on the ground: "Blow"
Elsa had known for a long time that Richard could write. The main reason was that Richard could not communicate with Elsa through voice, so after a long time he could only write. Since Elsa knew that Richard could write, she became even happier and taught Richard many words.
Learning a language requires more than just being able to understand it. Elsa's teaching of characters to Richard saved him a lot of effort. Having said that, after Richard learned the language, he only communicated with the people of the Tiger Tribe. I don't know if it was not worth it.
However, since he could travel through this plane, Richard naturally wanted to explore it in depth. But the Tiger Tribe was different from Richard. They knew the routes that could travel through different monster territories and would not attract the attention of those monsters.
In the eyes of these monsters, Richard is like the lord of Tiger Mountain, and it is impossible for them to let Richard enter their territory.
Elsa quickly learned how to whistle and danced around with excitement.
Richard looked at the happy Elsa and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Whether in his previous life or in the wizarding world, the living standards of human beings were far beyond this plane. He couldn't play with whistles when he was four or five years old.
But for Elsa, this is a precious treasure. Thinking of this, Richard felt a little distressed for Elsa. She should be at the age when the girl blooms the most beautiful flower, but now she is living a primitive life, struggling to survive to become a hunter, and being happy for a small whistle.
However, seeing Elsa's genuine happiness, Richard was no longer sad.
……
Soon, the wild deer that Vic had skinned himself was cut into large pieces by several "excellent" chefs from the Tiger Tribe and roasted on the campfire.
The three younger brothers immediately pounced on it, and started to devour it without caring whether the freshly roasted venison was hot or not. Unlike the usual prey that was eaten alive, the chefs also smeared salt on the roasted meat, and the wonderful taste made them enjoy it very much.
Richard, however, only tried it briefly. He sent the prey to the Tiger Tribe initially just to help humans and learn more about humans in this dimension.
Ever since Richard knew that the Tiger Tribe could connect with other tribes, Richard hoped to strengthen the connection with the Tiger Tribe by giving prey as gifts. Of course, coming to see Elsa was also a reason. After all, she was his first friend in this plane.
After Richard's three younger brothers had their fill of barbecue, they didn't even say hello to Richard, but jumped a few times and disappeared into the darkness.
"This bunch of ungrateful tigers don't recognize humans after they've eaten their fill." Richard cursed inwardly.
However, this barbecue feast has just begun for the Tiger Tribe. The other three tigers are not as kind to the people of the Tiger Tribe as Richard.
There was still a large portion of venison left, so the people of the Tiger Tribe could have a good meal.
The simple tribesmen danced happily around the campfire. Elsa also joined in. Her tall figure was a feast for Richard's eyes.
A group of half-grown children imitated the adults, holding hands and singing ancient tunes around Richard.
The general meaning of the lyrics is to sing praises to the ancient gods and bring them delicious food.
Is the god of the Tiger Tribe the tiger?
"Could this be the prototype of an ancient totem? Then maybe I am the totem of the Tiger Tribe!"
At this moment, Richard forgot the pressure of the war in the Ouyun plane and lay on the ground to rest comfortably, feeling so comfortable.
