202, Estes' past

If it were normal, it would be difficult to find any complacentness in her face if she defeated this level of danger.

But Lu Ye's praise made her very useful.

Her mood is like a primary school boy being praised by a girl she likes.

"But their characteristics are very strange," said Esdes. "They can move freely after their heads are pierced. Dangerous species with such tenacious vitality are rare, and don't you think they look very similar to those human-shaped dangerous species we encountered before?"

"Well, I feel so too." Lu Ye nodded, but he thought to himself.

This is not similar, it is simply the same root and origin. One is an old man, one son... or a brother.

Esdes returned to the fire.

By this time the fire had rekindled and the meat was almost baked.

Lu Ye handed the roasted meat to Esdes, who tasted it and raised his eyebrows.

"Well, the taste is really good, it's so spicy."

“Because the addition of cumin and soybean chili noodles.”

"Soybean Chili noodles?" Asdes was stunned, "What is that?"

"Grind the soybeans into powder, mix them in chili powder, then add salt, MSG and other seasonings." Lu Ye paused, "It's a barbecue method in the countryside."

"So that's it... it's much better than what I cook." Asdes quickly ate a skewer of barbecue.

"But Captain, you are so skillful in handling prey, but you don't seem to be very good at cooking."

"I don't cook much. When I was a child, I was in the tribe, and I was responsible for helping adults deal with prey from hunting. Usually after I processed the prey, I went to the snow to play. I didn't learn how to cook. Later, I cooked myself during the journey and could eat it."

"It was a little unimaginable when the captain was a child."

Perhaps it is because Esdes' current personality that impresses people too deeply. In Lu Ye's imagination, she must be the kind of girl who has been a little devil since she was born, and she is invincible to all her friends and becomes the leader of naughty children, and she is domineering to everyone.

"It's okay, have you heard of the minority 'Baruts'?"

Lu Ye was stunned and shook his head slightly.

"That was a minority on the northern border of an empire. It was in the snow and ice, with few people and no fertile land to grow crops. So people from that nation basically used hunting dangerous species as a means of living, and I was born there."

"It turns out that the captain is a minority..."

"Yes, my father is the patriarch, the strongest man in the entire clan. In our clan, strength is everything. The position of patriarch is not passed down. Only the strongest can be taken." Esdes said, "I admired him at that time. I would hunt him and other clans every day and learn how to deal with prey."

Lu Ye nodded, "No wonder Captain, you are so clean and neat in handling prey."

"This is a kind of muscle memory. Almost all the dangerous species that die in my hands can't be counted." Esdes said, "As the daughter of the patriarch, I was raised. In order to train me, my father would specially keep some prey from Shangcun to let me do it. This is a way to train us to kill. If we kill too much, we will naturally get used to it."

"Do you leave some living mouths for training?" Lu Yip, "Is the risk too great?"

Esdes was stunned and then smiled.

"Don't worry, my father won't just leave a living room just to train me. The tribesmen all go hunting in groups and rarely act alone, because even if they are strong, if they are injured, it will be difficult to raise them well. While defeating the enemy, they will make the chance of survival the greatest. The so-called survival is like this."

She also understood Lu Ye’s worries.

In that environment, medical conditions are difficult to guarantee.

"The reason why we deliberately keep prey alive is because some materials on dangerous species will be greatly reduced if they are not taken out when they are alive, and this will also reduce our hunting value." Asdes stared at the meat skewers that were set on fire and grilled with oil. "The prey that was killed will definitely be very painful, but there is no way, because they usually attack humans and feed on them... This is how my mother died, but when it is our turn, they will become prey. This is the world, the strong prey."

"Then why did you leave your tribe members, captain?"

"Well... it's out of helplessness." Esdes said, "After all, if I'm the only one, there's no value for staying there."

"That's...what's going on?"

Although I had vaguely heard of the rumors about Esdes before, Lu Ye still wanted to hear what the parties involved said.

After all, this is more credible.

"Simply put, our clan was destroyed." Asdes looked at Lu Ye, "At that time, I was fourteen years old, and I was already at the age of being able to go out to hunt alone. Although our clan would not let someone go out to hunt alone, as a proof of being alone, every child in the clan had to hunt a dangerous species alone when he was fourteen years old. However, when I returned from hunting, the entire nation was destroyed in the hands of the northern aliens."

"The captain killed 400,000 alien ethnic groups on the northern border before, which was actually considered a disguised revenge?" Lu Ye suddenly realized.

He remembered the news that was causing a lot of controversy when he first came to the imperial capital. In a blink of an eye, Esdes suppressed the northern alien army that the empire had determined to defeat at least one year, and then buried all the alien ethnic groups with a total of 400,000 alive.

"If I were fourteen years old, I must have been like that, but when I was burying those people alive, I didn't have any idea of ​​revenge." Asdes shook his head, "After all, the Baruts tribe is very weak, and it is impossible to be destroyed. It's just like you can't ask the lion to not eat meat. This is the law of survival. On that land, plunder is everything."

Esdes picked up the meat skewers and blew gently: "The reason I buried all the aliens alive is that it is too troublesome to deal with so many prisoners of war. I don't have so much patience with the enemy. The existence of prisoners of war is a problem in the long-distance marching. The resources required for 400,000 prisoners of war every day are already huge, and the soldiers under my command are very tired after the battle. Why do they still have to spend time taking care of a group of losers?"

I see.

After listening to Esdes's experience, Lu Ye completely understood why her personality was like this.

Education in the native family environment is part of it.

The acquired experience is part of it.
