Continuing the journey again, Bai Yang noticed that the few were used to it, and they did not seem to care much about that encounter.

Could it be that they always run into such encounters in the forest or they are just plain ignorant?

The group started moving towards another direction after that, even thinking with their b.u.t.t, they could tell that they were asking for trouble if they followed the gorilla's trail. However, if they followed the path where the gorilla came from, there wouldn't be any prey for them….

This was what they called, wherever the king of beasts was, the other animals would scatter. Though that gorilla was not a lion or tiger, any living being could tell just how dangerous it was judging from its size. Perhaps, they wouldn't even run into a single animal throughout the way!

Insects were not counted….

Throughout the journey, the girl followed tightly beside Bai Yang, she did not say a word but her awareness was also the highest. If there was any slight movement, she would always reach towards Bai Yang right away and her protection was just like professional bodyguards; she stood at the frontline before every danger, endlessly pulling Bai Yang away from unknown dangers!

As for being protected by a girl, Bai Yang's sincerest answer was… Ehem, let's talk about others….

Deep in his heart was a question that was left unanswered after such a long time, which was where did this girl's loyalty come from? He did not give her anything so why was she so loyal to him?

So all he could do was attribute all of these to his pitiful knowledge of their culture…

The strongest and largest among them was number one, this one was very interesting, he could always find edible food in the forest. His nose was better than the nose of a dog, be it strange looking fruit hidden in the forest, or plant roots hidden deep in the ground, he would be able to find something edible. Anyhow, he was eating all the way.

Bai Yang expressed his confusion about how number one was not dead from poisoning. Maybe, the reason why he was so huge was tightly related to how he was always eating….

For the sake of his little life, no matter how many times number one wanted to share these strange-looking foods with Bai Yang, Bai Yang still politely turned down his offer.

Thanks but no thanks, I don't wanna die….

As for number three's desire of killing himself, it probably couldn't be helped anymore.

Bai Yang thought that if laughing would make him ten years younger, he could've reversed his aging by at least a hundred centuries already!

This number three's curiosity is ridiculous. As long as there is any gap or hole in the trees, this guy would definitely stick his door-sized saber into it and create quite an amusing scene every time.

There there, his head was just like Gautama Buddha's hair, all swollen up as he accidentally disturbed a whole nest of wasps when he was sticking his saber into the tree hole.

The most interesting part was not that he was not curious, but that he was forgetful and never learned from his lessons. After G.o.d knew how many times, he actually provoked a centipede about a metre long that crawled out from the gap of the stone. Yet he was still keen on doing it even after almost getting himself killed!

But then again, with such curiosity and persistence, number three made himself a path finder. After all, he could discover any dangers at the very first second….

As for number two, okay fine. He was like invisible, entirely hidden within the trees and with such camouflaging techniques and stealth, Bai Yang reckoned that if he had to go straight on against those so called special forces in earth in a forest, number two alone would be able to wipe out a group of soldiers alone…

This was a very rare forest adventure experience, and it ended with them taking down a grizzly bear.

The process was truly an exciting yet dangerous one, but Bai Yang felt zero threat coming from the bear, all he felt was boredom!

He was standing 50 metres away from the battle, with a powerful girl protecting him. With that, it would be unnatural if he also felt the intensity and excitement of battle….

In simpler terms, they ran into a grizzly bear that stood 3 metres tall and the excited number three babbled something before he tried to compete with the bear in a contest of strength, only to find himself overpowered by the bear. He then revealed his ultimate move, which Bai Yang had once seen. He jumped onto the bear's back and no matter what the bear did, it couldn't shake him off….

Number one joined in right after, slamming his stick onto the bear's nose and knocking it out for a second; number two, who was hiding somewhere within the trees, fired an arrow and ended the battle with an arrow piercing right through the bear's right eye.

Sometimes, a hunting process was that simple and violent, it was spotting a prey that took the most time. Compared to this, Bai Yang felt that the hunting in earth was even quicker, all it took was pulling a trigger….

Huge man number one was now carrying the bear on his back and his legs were s.h.i.+vering….

This strength was utterly absurd, Bai Yang reckoned that if he was to work as a labourer, his other colleagues would lose their jobs!

The way back was much more relaxed, it may be just a few hours of exploration, but Bai Yang felt that it had been ages.

I will never enter the forest anymore, even if there is a knife on my neck!

Standing at the gate of the village, Bai Yang told himself this, so what if there was a knife? He could easily just run….

Time pa.s.sed by silently. Soon, it had already already ten days later after his journey into the forest!

Ten days was the days at this side, given that there were about 50 hours in a day, it had been 20 days back on earth!

There was an experiment that proved just half a month could completely change a person's living habit. And after ten day, apart from some deficiency in the local language, Bai Yang had really a.s.similated into the way of life here.

In this period of time, he mixed himself with the villagers here, learned their living habits and language. He could now engage in simple communication with them.

How simple was simple? An example would be just like how they communicate with foreigners back on earth, speaking phrases like, “How are you, what's your name, how do you do?”

But most of the communication between them still remained gestures.

The more he understood about these villagers, the more Bai Yang learned about their difficulties. Forests, tree houses, everything here did not look as relaxing and peaceful as they seemed.

Everyday, the villagers would have to go out hunting. Injuries and deaths followed them on each trip; if they wanted to live properly, they would have to enter the forest that was teeming with danger!

This was a deadly cycle….

In just ten days, Bai Yang witnessed three hunters losing parts of their body, six more heavily injured and two more disappearing ever since entering the forest….

Bai Yang tried to help them to improve their current living style but every way he thought of was unrealistic so he could only do minor things for them.

He could bring them food, clothes and other essentials from earth to help them, but in a long run, they would slowly lose the courage to enter the forest. In the end, they would completely lose their edge and become unfit to survive in the forest. They would eventually become strangers in their own land!

There weren't many in this village, but this was a solid living style, Bai Yang would only receive an opposite result if he recklessly interfered…..!
