Chapter Seventy-Three: Attack on the Snow
The speed of the march is not fast, and it has to rest three or four times a day, which is something that cannot be helped, and even a bird can bear it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThey brought jerky or something, but it wasn't enough for the black bird to stuff his teeth, and it was really hard for the black bird to fly and hunt for food, although they would also help...
"There is no problem with our direction, and we will be able to reach the Jiazi River mentioned by the migratory tribe in another day, and we will be halfway there." Because it was a little rest during the day and did not dig a snow cave, the two found a leeward place, and Wu Yao took out the animal skin map for comparison. If you're not careful, it's too easy to get lost in the snow.
It is said that it is a map, but it is just some information from the migratory tribes, and obvious landmarks, the most obvious of which is the Jiazi River, which is a horizontal river, wide and boundless and turbulent, the reason why it is so clear is because this river is a major obstacle to the migratory tribes, and it is understandable to think about it, they have no birds, they can't fly over...
Asahi also took out a piece of animal skin, put it on his lap, and wrote and scratched on it...
"It's still your young brains, with the new map, the tribe will not make a detour if they send people in the future." Wu Yao patted Xu's shoulder appreciatively.
Xu carefully folded the animal skin and put it in his arms, "In Yingye's words, we are pioneers, and we must suffer more." It was also said that the plan did not change quickly! Xu rubbed his face twice and smiled bitterly, "I really let her say that it's not even halfway there, and it's been a month." ”
"Don't worry too much, don't forget, after crossing the Jiazi River, the weather over there is not so cold, and after a few more, it is said that there is no snow or only light snow, anyway, it will not delay our journey, and then we can speed up some speed, and the time can be snatched back." Asahi said some comforting words, but in fact his teeth were swollen and he was on fire. But he is the leader of this team, and he can't mess around.
Asahi nodded, "That's all there is to it!" ”
After the black bird finished eating, everyone took a mouthful of snow and set out on the road. The food of the black birds is when they see their prey while they are in the air, and the birds cooperate to catch it, and sometimes the team will also help. If they can't finish eating, they will freeze to ensure that they don't bleed and attract other fierce beasts to attack, and the team members will help them bring them to eat and replenish their strength when they rest. They have their own dried meat and snow, so they can eat something hot at night. There are not many, except for Wu Yao and Xu, who bring their own small soup pots, the whole team has a small iron pot that is not too big...
A day later, on the banks of the Jiazi River...
As soon as the birds landed, Wu Yao turned around and said loudly, "There are many animals by the river, you should pay extra attention tonight!" ”
"Got it, Boss!"
"Understood! ...”
……
The team members answered, and they got to work with their hands and feet...
Wu Yao was not at ease, and for some reason tonight, his chest was very suffocated, and he suddenly felt very irritable...
"Big brother! I..."Asahi came over, and he stopped talking.
"You also feel uncomfortable?" Wu Yao asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"Hmm... Otherwise, we won't rest and rush overnight, anyway, we are not afraid of not being able to see the road clearly in the snow. Asahi suggested.
Wu Yao groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Keep going!" ”
"Everyone, stop, I don't feel right, let's work hard tonight and keep going." Wu Yao finished speaking. The team members looked at each other, but no one objected, and even a few elders sighed, it seems that it is not only Wu Yao and Xu who feel it.
Everyone was busy loading supplies, and changes suddenly appeared!
"Chirp..."
"Chirp..."
……
"Not good! It's a black bird! Wu Yao shouted, picked up the fine iron knife and ran towards the Yan Black Bird.
I saw the white thing that jumped up and bit on the wings of the black bird...
The black bird shook its body from side to side, trying to get the things off its wings, everyone arrived, also joined, and knocked things down with knives, some were trampled to death by the angry black birds, and some were split by the team members with knives...
"Chirp..."
"Chirp..."
……
"Big brother! Oh no, the bitten black bird's wings are numb and can't fly. Asahi was full of anxiety.
Wu Yao bent down and rubbed one with a knife, brought it to his eyes, and observed it carefully, "The whole body is snow-white, and it's not big, if they don't attack first, it's really not easy to be discovered, it should be poisonous." ”
"Jiaojiao, how many days can you get rid of this poison?" Wu Yao shook off the thing on the knife with a shock of his right hand, and raised his head to ask his own Yan Black Bird.
"Chirp..."Two or three days.
"Go and see how many more black birds can fly, report the number to me." Wu Yao ordered to the team members next to him.
This time, in addition to Wu Yao and Xu, who led the team, there were forty team members, a total of forty-two people plus forty-two Yan Black Birds.
"Captain! Twenty-two blackbirds were injured and could not fly. The team moved quickly and gave an answer after a while.
"Divide the supplies onto the sixteen intact black birds, leave four on guard on all sides of the team, and we'll set off now." After Wu Yao's order was given, they were all elites, needless to say, they were doing the work in their hands silently and quickly.
Wu Yao pulled Xu aside and whispered, "That thing is not big, and the toxicity is limited, I suspect that they have collaborators, our danger has not passed, we must leave immediately!" ”
Xu nodded in agreement, "Except for the four-headed black bird guarding in the sky, the rest and the team members are on foot." Let the sixteen healthy black birds take care of the wounded. ”
Wu Yao patted Xu's shoulder, "That's it, let's go to the Jiazi River" The current Jiazi River is already a glacier, and it is winter, if it is other seasons and the Yan Black Bird is injured, they can only look at the river and sigh.
The team moved forward silently and quickly, and the team members were divided into two layers, the outer layer was responsible for guarding, and the inner layer devoured dried meat to recover their strength, and then exchanged with each other. Yan Wuniao also handed over meat, and the overall order of the team was orderly...
"Chirp... Chirp!" It was the alarm from the black bird that was on guard in the sky, and a snow wolf appeared in the east of the team.
"Accelerate! Hasten! Wu Yao took the lead and galloped.
With the warning training from time to time, Wu Yao knew that they had been targeted, and they couldn't reach the snow wolf for a long time, but fortunately, the information from the Yan Black Bird was less than a hundred, and it seemed that it was a small group, as long as they found a good cover, they could deal with it.
"Big brother! Ugin sent news that there was an iceberg ahead. Asahi pointed forward.
Wu Yao waved his hand, "Go to the iceberg!" ”
The iceberg more than ten meters high is white and snowy, and the ice branches on it are like clusters of sharp swords.
Wu Yao waved his hand to signal the team to stop, "Jiaojiao, can you make the Yan Black Birds spit fire and dig a cave?" ”
"Chirp..."Yes!
"Thanks!" Wu Yao patted his old partner's leg, "The others rest on the spot." Unload the supplies, feed all the prey on the road to the Yan Black Bird, raise a charcoal fire, and boil hot water..."Wu Yao's orders were conveyed one by one. The snow wolves will arrive in about ten minutes, and there is not much time left for them.
