Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Thunder Vulture
After inscribed the Yan pattern, Gongliang said to the black mammoth: "From now on, you will be called Dorjee! I hope you will be freed from suffering and blessed with good fortune and good health." ”
"Owoo"
The black mammoth roared softly, and a crystal teardrop slowly dripped from the giant eye.
It's not sadness, it's not bitterness, it's not bitterness.
It's joy, it's gratitude, it's the tears of rebirth.
Gongliang touched the long nose of the black mammoth Dorjee and comforted him. Dorjee let out a low roar, as if he was glad that he had earned his name.
The name Dorjee means Vajra in Tibetan, meaning eternal and immortal. The black mammoth has a strong physique, thick black hair, and immovable majesty, which has a lot of similarities with King Kong, so Gongliang gave it this name.
In Chinese, Dorjee is a very auspicious name, and it just happens to be used.
This is probably the best name Gongliang has ever chosen.
Kui Xiong was not very satisfied, and frowned: "Gongliang, after you go back, you should really go to the tribal elders to read more books and study, there are many taboos for such an important thing as inscribed with psychic patterns." Even if it is already obedient, it can't be so nonsense. It's not good, it's a common thing for you to die on the spot. ”
"Doesn't it mean that it will just lose some essence blood and suffer a little bit of injury?" Gongliang said in surprise.
"You really need to study hard. ”
Kui Xiong pressed his forehead, there was a feeling of lovelessness, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go back and talk about this, let's go find the mandrill first!"
The group jumped on their mounts, and Gongliang followed them on the newly subdued black mammoth.
The black mammoth's long hair is silky and silky, and its back is wide and flat, making it as comfortable to sit on as if it were sitting on a blanket. It's not like sitting on Kui Xiong's mounts at all.
Yuan Roll likes to sit on it, it feels very comfortable, and I can't help but roll on it. If it hadn't been for Gongliangyan's quick hand to grab it, this fool would have rolled to the ground a long time ago.
Mi Gu also likes to sit on it, constantly twisting his little buttocks and rubbing the long hair of the black mammoth, and he doesn't know what he is rubbing.
The hawksbill rhinoceros, barge horses, black panthers and other mounts ridden by Kui Xiong and others ran very fast, but the black mammoth followed behind, walking slowly, but still able to cling tightly behind.
They had passed through the mountains, through the valleys, over the hills, and near noon they came to a plain with a great mountain in front of them.
The mountain was very strange, bare, and there were not a single decent tree, but all large and small strange stones, and the weeds that grew in the crevices of the stones were also pitifully scarce. Coming closer, the mottled rocks covered with bare mountains look so strange, old, and ugly in the sun.
Suddenly, Kui Xiong turned to Gongliang and asked, "Gongliang, where is your golden-winged Dapeng eagle?"
"What's wrong with flying up there?"
"Get it down, this is the vulture's lair. ”
What Lei Vulture Gongliang didn't know, but seeing that Kui Xiong was in such a hurry, it was estimated that it was not simple, so he hurriedly let the chick come down.
But it was too late, and I saw a thunder vulture with dark gold lines on its back flying out of the high mountain, and quickly chased after the chicken.
When the chick heard Gongliang's words, he hurriedly flew down, and when he saw the thunder vulture, his speed increased even more.
The vulture screamed, and suddenly opened its mouth to shoot a bolt of lightning. There was an explosion on the chick's back, feathers flying, and flesh and blood were blurred.
"San, archery. ”
Hearing Kui Xiong's words, Sang hurriedly drew his bow and arrows, looked at them carefully, and shot them. The arrows escaped into the void, breaking through the barriers, and reaching the chick and the hot vulture. But I saw that the arrow suddenly bent to the side, flashed in front of the chicken, and shot straight at the thunder vulture.
The vulture saw the swift arrow, and flapped its wings in a panic, but the arrow flew so fast that it immediately burrowed into its left rib.
The thunder vulture screamed in pain, did not dare to chase it any more, turned around and flew back to the mountain.
The chick flew back smoothly, and was very aggrieved to get into Gongliang's arms and chirp.
Gongliang touched its head and comforted it, and was about to treat its wounds, but heard Kui Xiong cry anxiously: "Let's hurry over and hide, lest the thunder vulture chase after us." ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly drove their mounts and ran forward.
After a while, as Kui Xiong expected, a group of thunder vultures flew out of the top of the mountain. After searching the place where they had just stayed, they found no one and flew back again.
Gongliang and the others hid in the rocky bushes at the bottom of the high mountain, and waited for the thunder vulture to disperse before leading their mounts out of the rocky bushes.
Kui Xiong looked at the high mountain in front of him and said, "I didn't expect that mandrill to find such a good hiding place, with thunder vultures here, I guess few people dare to come! That mandrill should be on the mountain, and we can't mount it, so let's go up on it ourselves!"
Gongliang and the others looked at the steep hillside full of stones and had no opinion.
So they laid down their mounts, took some things, took their weapons, and went up the hill.
These mounts have their imprints on them, and they are not afraid of getting lost. Gongliang and the black mammoth have a heart-to-heart connection, so they are even less afraid.
The foot of the mountain is full of sand and gravel, making it extremely difficult to walk. If you're not careful, you risk slipping.
This mountain is very strange, there are still a few weeds near the mountain forest below, and if you go up, there is not even a single weed.
As he walked, Kui Xiong explained: "This is Jinwei Mountain, and there are many gold and stones on the mountain, so it is easy to be struck by lightning. During the spring and summer thunderstorm season, you can see the electric snake dancing wildly on the mountain in the distance. Those thunder vultures took a fancy to this, so they chose to build a nest here and absorb the power of thunder and lightning. ”
When Gongliang heard his words, he grabbed a stone from the ground and looked at it.
Sure enough, I found that the stone contained some black iron-like things, so I took some small black water pools and threw them into the fruit space to decompose, and maybe I could get some strange metal ingots in the future.
Kui Xiong and the others next to him didn't say anything when they saw it, anyway, the thing is here, whoever likes to take it.
However, they don't have that leisure, they don't decompose like the small black pool of Gongliang with fruit space, and they are pure burdensome.
The group walked up, and the more they walked, the fewer stones there were on the mountain. And it's no longer clumps of white like below, but little pieces after pieces, swarthy, looking like iron slag left over from the melting of the iron ore.
Gongliang estimated that these things were the essence left after being struck by lightning to remove the impurities, so he picked them up more diligently.
Mi Gu saw that Baba was picking up something, and also flew out to help pick it up. Round Roll also helped a little bit.
Ryu Ga, who had been watching him pick up things next to him, finally couldn't help but ask, "Gongliang, don't you think it's heavy to bring these things?"
"What's heavy, so light. Gongliang said disappreciatively.
Ryu Ga was speechless when he heard it, he just calculated, and after a while, Gongliang picked up at least more than 10,000 catties of stones, and even said that it was light, there was really no way to communicate.
