Chapter 245: A Small Basin

As rumored, the route they chose passed through a barren area.

Naturally, a continent cannot be full of green mountains, green waters, forests and wetlands. River division, annual precipitation, soil quality, altitude, and temperature will all affect the climate and vegetation coverage of an area.

Therefore, this is a barren area that is not vast, the soil is difficult to support large trees, all grass and shrubs, at a glance, green into a piece, and there is a whole tree, each branch extends into the roots of the tree in the soil of the strange tree [plant stem family subsidiary] is growing, I have to say, the wisdom of the people is infinite: the people here use grafting technology to plant fruit trees on a large scale. It is also engaged in mushroom cultivation and small-scale greenhouse vegetables.

But although they have done a lot, it is limited to this, after all, the conditions are limited.

So, this is a warm (relatively speaking, and now windy) area with strong sunlight, barren land, and mountains on all sides, and here, you will be lucky enough to see a group of elves waving horsewhips and shouting trumpets, dressed in leather clothes and wearing fur hats, those, that is, the elf cowboys from another world, who have spent a little time here, a total of several days, but they are not in a hurry, the two of them are walking very leisurely, and they are still looking at the scenery.

Not far away, two elves on horseback galloped by.

Horseback riding is largely just a recreational activity, of course, long-distance transportation still depends on them, and it is impossible to rely on people to pull hundreds of kilometers, right?

It is two tall horses that are nearly two meters tall, strong muscles and skeleton indicate that this is the most standard Northland grassland species, where the wolves are fierce and difficult to get rid of, and horses that are not strong enough to survive will not survive, so they will maintain excellent genes, but after all, the gravitational environment is different, the horses here are still slightly different from those on the earth, the same brown, but more tough and rough skin, the legs are relatively shorter, and twice as thick, and the slightly larger chest cavity contains more efficient and larger respiratory organs, almost all parts are different from an anatomical point of view。

It's just that he has always wondered ———— all living things look very similar to the earth, just like creations taken from similar templates.

"Their hats are pretty good. "Well, that dress is all leather. ”

This group of young elves who are dressed up and are no different from cowboys should be five or six hundred years old, but, although they are for leisure and entertainment, they don't look happy at all, after all, if they are locals, they have been riding horses for hundreds of years, and they should have been used to it, and it is quite comfortable to look at them and their mounts with a high degree of tacit understanding and almost one posture.

In addition to being good-looking, elves have pointed ears, which are no different from humans and orcs in appearance, but don't underestimate them casually, and be cautious when dealing with some ill-intentioned guys among these people.

It is said that people are old and fine, their intelligence is not bad, and their life expectancy is super long, and one by one they must be all fine like that, but unfortunately the fertility rate is too low, and it can only maintain the current number of millions.

It is known that there are several branches of elves, and the main way to distinguish them is by looking at the hair color, which is the best natural way to identify them.

There are only a few kinds of hair colors, brown, gray, black, red, white, gold, except for these six, there is no other color, if you see a spirit with other hair colors, like purple, blue, it must be dyed, after all, the color that is too different from nature is simply telling the predator "I'm here, come and bite me".

Also, the hair colors of people in an elf family are basically similar, and there is no such thing as colorful in the comics (how messy it is to hold the family like this), and the hair colors of the parents are mixed together, such as gold and red, that is, golden red, if the child's hair is red and white, then, then you can only choose between the two options of forgiving her or not forgiving, cough cough, that's pretty much it.

"Prairie horses, it's been a long time. Cecilia watched with some nostalgia as the two elves faded away, which seemed to bring back the remnants of childhood memories, "The first time I rode a horse, I almost fell, but it took my brothers and sisters a long time to learn it. "You want to ride?" "Of course." "Then let's find someone to rent a horse and ride it later." "Forget it, it's only a month, I can wait, we are outsiders, I don't want to be slaughtered." ”

When you go out to travel, being slaughtered is, of course, a big reserved item, for example, a bottle of drink in a scenic spot, normally up to three yuan, he can double it for you.

Riding a horse is very natural for the locals, borrowing a horse to ride is equivalent to the neighborhood, you borrow my rice, I borrow your cabbage, it will cost money when it is the turn of outsiders, and you will be charged seventy or eighty general banknotes after riding for a while, as if money is not money.

"It's not that I haven't ridden before, so it's better to save some money. ”

This piece of back and forth is only a few tens of kilometers, the small can not be a small place, the total population is tens of thousands, there are several farms, three or two towns, the small ones only need two days to walk out, to say that there is any special place, the only thing that can be regarded as special, is only because of the continuous mountains, located in the basin, much warmer.

As long as you look for it, no one here will mind lending you horses, because no one minds making some extra money, if you are really a purebred southerner, a fresh, then no problem, if the northern steppe people want to ride a steppe horse in the north and spend money, it is really a bit more than worth the loss.

At this point, Albert kicked the ground.

Just now he felt something drilled out of a hole in the ground, it was a snake, it saw his trouser leg at the first glance out of the hole, instinctively bit it, and then was discovered by the extraordinary perception of the professional, kicked away, there are quite a lot of wild animals here, poisonous insects and other animals account for a lot of proportion, but don't worry, they can bite the professionals or not, that is, it is really lucky to bite, most of them can't break the defense, but children need to pay attention to it.

"Wife, have you ever eaten poisonous insects?" "I've eaten it, I can eat anything if I remove the poisonous part, what's wrong?" "Then, mosquitoes should be considered poisonous insects." "Sort it off. "Ever heard of mosquito cakes? ”

Cecilia was stunned, and tried to combine the mosquito and the cake in her mind, and it took a few seconds to react: "And this kind of operation?!" ”

"It's a place called Africa, a savannah, and there are mosquitoes there, and then when the mosquito plague comes, people take small pots and catch mosquitoes and put them in it, knead the mosquitoes into meat sauce, and then roast them, sprinkle them with spices, and then the mosquito cakes are made. "This... Even to me, it's too disgusting, does anyone really dare to eat that kind of thing?" "Yes, people eat anything when they're hungry, they're crazy when they're hungry, and it's the same with fly cakes. "Have you seen it?" "No, I've just been hungry." ”

He paused slightly: "By the way, it may be a little colder tonight, so it's better to wear more coats." "Isn't your topic too jumpy, a little hard? "Say whatever comes to mind. ”

Albert took out an overcoat and draped it over her: "And the weather has been really weird lately. ”
