Zhou Ming immediately knew that this was a brand-new land that no one had ever set foot on before, and it was a completely different land from the land he had lived in the past!

The towering Ural Snow Mountains have isolated a complete continent geographically, even though the two continents are still tightly adhered together, but the differences and changes between the two independent ecosystems, after hundreds of millions of years of species evolution, are even greater than the differences and changes on the earth that float on the two spheres and are separated by thousands of miles of oceans.

The western continent, because the crustal plate is relatively solid and the overall structure is relatively stable, there are more flat landforms such as plains, grasslands, forests, swamps, etc., coupled with the Ural Snow Mountains, to a certain extent, it blocks the invasion of the eastern monsoon, the overall climate is relatively comfortable and mild, and there are not many species of animals and plants with greater differences, and the most common ones are about several thousand species.

In addition to some flat terrain on the western continent, there are countless volcanoes, mountains, hills, deserts, basins and other complex landforms, many regions, and even a complex of multiple landforms.

There are also karst landforms formed by the dissolution of limestone by subsurface dissolving water, which is also extremely common on this continent.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to count the number of species of animals and plants that grow actively on this continent with countless kinds of topography and landforms.

And Zhou Ming, who wanted to find several resources he wanted, soon had a huge gain.

Descending from the pass, less than a hundred kilometers to the east, Zhou Ming found the sulfur he had always dreamed of finding by a river of underground magma flowing with fiery lava - enough to last for decades.

After walking down the plateau at a higher altitude and heading east into the grasslands and forests at medium and low altitudes, Zhou Ming was delighted by the large number of new discoveries made every day.

Countless towering stout trees, some can be used as spices, some can be made into high-end furniture, some have medicinal value, and some of the fruits on the trees are delicious and nutritious, and can be eaten directly.

Countless animals of all sizes, some can provide meat, some can provide fur, and some can be domesticated and raised as livestock mounts.

There are countless mineral resources on the surface and underground, some of which are very easy to exploit on the exposed surface, some of which are of extremely high grade and do not need to be selected, and some of which are beautiful and can be called rare treasures.

But these trees, animals, and mineral resources didn't make Zhou Ming stop, even if it was a short stay of one or two days, and he even asked those expedition members to throw away a few huge pieces of doghead gold and a few brilliant gems they picked up on the road - these things were too bulky, and they would affect the speed of subsequent expeditions after taking them.

Entering the low-altitude plains and meandering down a long river, the people traveled thousands of kilometers eastward, discovering countless more valuable animal and plant resources and mineral resources.

Some of these resources, while not necessary, have a potential value that cannot be underestimated.

For example, a kind of watermelon-like fruit that grows on vine plants, and the giant watermelon that grows is the same as the space watermelon on the earth, one weighs hundreds of pounds, and killing one is enough for dozens of people to eat.

For example, if there is a grape fruit that grows on a tree, hanging on a tree in bunches, it is similar to the grapes of the earth, but it is larger and sweeter, and it can bear hundreds of bunches on a single vine.

For example, a plant resembling sugar cane, thicker than an adult's arm, grows seven or eight meters tall, and is hard to chew, but the juice inside is unprecedentedly sweet.

There are also some wild rice-like crops and bamboo-like plants, which are of great help to agriculture and the construction and furniture industry, and once introduced to the western continent, it is bound to bring great changes to people's dietary structure and living environment.

In the end, Zhou Ming still got a small amount of seeds of giant watermelons, grapevines and wild rice, and put them in his backpack, as for sugarcane, bamboo and other plants that are not easy to carry, he still gave up for the time being.

In addition to plants, Zhou Ming also found a large number of valuable livestock resources, such as a huge bison, very terrifying, bigger than a car, but very docile personality, do not take the initiative to attack non-threatening creatures, all day long, know to bury their heads in all kinds of grass, obviously, is a good domestication into the livestock object of domestic cattle.

There are also wild horses that run faster than leopards in the forest, and wild donkeys, wild deer, wild sheep, wild boars, wild dogs and other animals that are small but very clever, all of which have the potential to be well tamed in captivity.

Of course, there are also some large carnivorous animals, with strong aggression, such as tigers with fangs in their mouths, fierce lions with a body length of three meters, crocodiles in the water and some giant pythons, etc., which bring greater threats to the lives of the members of the expedition team at all times.

However, because everyone carried sharp and rusty alloy swords, these aggressive carnivorous beasts could not be used in front of them, and the only time they were more dangerous was when they were besieged by hundreds of wolves, and only a few members of the team suffered some skin injuries.

What really caused the attrition of the expedition team was that most of them were inadvertently bitten by all kinds of poisonous snakes, centipedes, ants, spiders and other poisonous insects that could not be prevented, and after poisoning the two team members, Zhou Ming asked everyone to wear a set of protective clothing with extremely thin mesh, and only in places where there were no poisonous insects gathered, the protective clothing could be opened.

After walking eastward along the river for more than three months, and after coming to a swamp full of black tree stumps that seemed to be floating in it, but were actually the activities of countless crocodiles, Zhou Ming did not choose to continue to travel eastward, turned his head and headed south, heading towards the south of this continent.

Walking more than 1,000 kilometers to the south, a pyramid-shaped building with a height of 100 meters and a unique shape, which obviously belongs to the wisdom of civilization can only be built, is presented in front of Zhou Ming and others.

There are people in this new continent!

A group of aborigines with yellow skin, dark eyes, brown hair, big pie faces, and high noses.

These natives, naked, with several circles of white cloth wrapped in their lower bodies, painted on their faces, wearing bird feather hats and crowns on their heads, and holding wooden spears and stone weapons in their hands, and some natives also hold bows and arrows with crude craftsmanship, or bamboo pipe blow arrows, and after using poisoned arrows and poisonous needles, the lethality of human prey should not be underestimated.

Looking at the Muzha villages and domed grass houses inhabited by these aborigines, Zhou Ming estimates that the level of civilization development of these aborigines should be at the end of the Stone Age, but they have not yet entered the Bronze Age.

However, there was a discovery that made Zhou Ming feel a little strange at first, in this indigenous village, except for some indigenous women who took care of livestock, they were busy working, and the other male aborigines seemed to have nothing to do, either lying there comfortably basking in the sun, or playing a game of shooting wooden targets with blow arrows, carrying tools and weapons, and rarely going out to hunt or work in the fields.

When it was time for lunch, Zhou Ming almost jumped up with excitement when he saw the "lunch" that those natives ate at noon.

Corn is very thick and long, and it is enough corn to eat with just one stick.

There are also sweet potatoes, which are rich in sugar and starch, and are huge, weighing more than a dozen catties, and at least three or four natives can eat one to eat.

There is also a breadfruit that looks like bread, about the size of a hamburger, how it tastes Zhou Ming doesn't know, looking at the way those natives eat with relish, the taste will definitely not be bad there.

In order to observe what the parent plants of these three foods looked like, Zhou Ming led a few people to quietly follow an indigenous woman who was picking fruits and went to their food collection place to have a look.

Taken aback!

On the yellow plant, which is more than three meters tall, there are six huge corn roots.

From the relatively barren slopes, the sweet potatoes are each the size of a football.

There are also breadfruit trees that are more than 10 meters tall and canopy, and at least 1,000 breadfruits are on their flourishing branches.

After sweeping his eyes again, he accidentally swept to the isolated plant on the side of the bread forest, which was more than six meters high, and the branches grew out of the swollen "white clouds", Zhou Ming couldn't help but say: "God, you won't be hanging for these natives, right?"

It turned out that this tree that grew "white clouds" was a "cotton tree" that magnified the kind of plant that could grow cotton in Zhou Ming's impression by more than ten times.

On the cotton tree, each of them has pure white "cotton" the size of a marshmallow, and there are hundreds of flowers blooming on one tree, which is enough to weave several clothes.

Corn, sweet potato, breadfruit trees, cotton trees, Zhou Ming, who discovered four crops with great strategic value at one time, envied and jealous of these natives, these natives must be the illegitimate children of God left behind the world, otherwise how could they be so good and enjoy the VIP treatment that even he can't compare to the plug-in.

Secretly collecting the seeds of these four plants at night, Zhou Ming led the expedition team and continued to walk more than 1,000 kilometers south, and actually walked into an indigenous empire, this indigenous empire is at war with the giant savages in the west, these giant savages, all of them are like Tarzan of the apes, the adult body is more than three meters tall, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, the strength is amazing, and the population seems to be quite a lot.

As a result, in a battle of 5,000 natives against 300 giant savages, the thin natives won a complete victory, and the giant savage tribe suffered heavy losses and fled in embarrassment.

It turned out that the key to the victory of the natives in the war was because they tamed a giant mount named "Kodo Beast" by Zhou Ming, "Kodo Beast", is a herbivorous animal, shaped like a large rhinoceros, with a body length of more than 10 meters and a weight of more than five tons...... But if it is used for mount charging, the sharp horn on the head of the Kodomon will be a sharp weapon for charging into battle.
