Chapter Twenty-Six: The Way Forward
The world map of more than one meter was slowly unfolded in Lin Zhi's hands.
What the balloon man gave was actually their generic map, that is, a map that was not enlarged, and the real size was less than two centimeters.
Fortunately, Lin Zhi was able to amplify it through the curse.
At first glance, it is a map made of a parchment-like material, affected by the limited area, and although the marks on the map are densely packed, most of them simply point out the more prominent places.
A small location like the Great Graveyard of the Thunder Dragon Country is not marked on the map.
The whole map is divided into more than a dozen regions, large and small, and the world is similar to the earth, which is the convergence of continental plates and oceans.
However, the area of this world is much larger than that of the earth, and the area of the ocean does not far exceed the area of the land, and the ratio between the two is about one to one.
In addition, there are many black areas at the edge of the map that have not been labeled, which should be places that have not yet been explored.
After having a general understanding of the overall plan of the map, Lin Zhi focused his attention on the area where the balloon man was located.
The information in this area is more dense and detailed, and many towns are listed in their names, not as in other racial territories, or even just a certain kingdom.
Because Shuluo Town bordered the Thunder Dragon Kingdom, Lin Zhi quickly found their current location in a bunch of crowded place name labels.
The forest at his feet was located in the northwest direction of Shuluo Town, more than seventy kilometers away from the location where Lin Zhi received the closest one that might be Little Bone's mother, and the direction was due north of the forest.
And ten kilometers to the northeast of the forest, there is a large river along the border between the two tribes.
The source of the river is a large waterfall cascading down from the cliffs above, and the terrain pulls it along the cliffs to the north.
The formation of a swamp in the corner of the cliff next to the town of Shuluo is also influenced by this large waterfall.
Lin Zhi carefully studied the surrounding geographical situation, and if he wanted to reach the location of Little Bone's first mother, there were two roads to choose.
The first is to follow the shortest distance on the map, which is due north of the forest, and only need to pass through four or five balloon towns to reach the destination.
The second road is to go northeast, follow the big river by water, and when you are almost close to your destination, you will turn to a land route of about ten kilometers.
Considering only the straight-line distance on the map, it is clear that the first road is shorter, but in practice, the second road is definitely faster with the help of the rapids.
"The Balloon People have already seen one, and even if the first road passes through a town that is much larger than the Tree Fall, the Balloon People should have a similar way of life, and there is no need to stay in those towns again. ”
"In comparison, it is faster to walk by water, and it will not be judged by the system to use curses to speed up the progress of the mission, and you can also see different landscapes......"
Soon, Lin Zhi had a plan in his heart: to take the second path!
He folded the map in his hand, opened his skull, and put it back.
Looking back, the little bones that were squatting on the ground and catching small insects just now were already asleep.
The little one lies flat at the foot of a large tree in a very casual posture.
There were still fragments of bone that had not been eaten cleanly from the side of its mouth and between the teeth on its jawbone.
"This little thing, eat and sleep. ”
Lin Zhi sighed speechlessly, walked over to the little bone, and reached out to pick out the broken bone chips that remained between its teeth and bounce them off.
Perhaps for fear of waking up the sleeping little bones, he moved very carefully.
After cleaning up the broken bone chips between the teeth of the small bones, Lin Zhi sat down slowly against the rough skin of the big tree, his legs crossed.
The night air was cool and refreshing, and he felt that he needed to get a good night's sleep.
Invisible ripples of mana spread out in all directions, lasting for a long time.
He didn't want to be woken up in the middle of his sleep by some beast that suddenly came at him.
......
The next day, the crisp and loud sound of birds cried one after another in the forest, and a touch of warm and soft sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, just enough to shine on Lin Zhi's skull.
Lin Zhi woke up slowly, as if he felt something, and reached out and touched it between his leg bones, which was wet.
Don't get me wrong, it's early morning dew sticking to the surface of the bone.
He habitually yawned and stretched.
The forest air in the early morning is undoubtedly fresh and clean, with the refreshing scent of flowers.
It's definitely a pleasure to wake up in such an environment.
Of course, that is, you don't get taken by a jackal, tiger or leopard in the middle of the night.
Lin Zhi looked down and saw that the little bones were wrapping their hands and feet around their thighs, sleeping very soundly.
After a night of digestion, the white light on the little guy's body had disappeared, and the bone energy of a whole one-horned tiger had been absorbed by it.
"Get up, get up, you can sleep so much at such a young age!"
Lin Zhi raised his hand and lightly tapped on the head of the little bone a few times.
The little bones moved and woke up from their deep sleep.
It stood in place, a little staggering, apparently not fully conscious.
"You're going to continue your journey, do you know where the northeast direction is?" Lin Zhi asked Xiao Gu.
Little Bone looked down, thought very seriously for a while, and then shook his head slightly.
"The direction in which the sun rises is in the east, and the direction in which it sets is in the west......"
Lin Zhi pointed to the rising sun in the distance, and patiently explained the most basic geographical orientation to Xiao Gu.
These are all very important knowledge to survive in the wild, and they are very helpful for small bones to live independently in the future.
Two days ago, at sunrise and sunset, he paid special attention to the movement of the sun in this world, and compared it with the world map provided by the balloon man, it was easy to get the same conclusion as the earth.
In other words, the theoretical knowledge of orientation on earth is also applicable in this world.
As for why not talk about advanced geography......
It's very simple, Lin Zhi himself won't either.
Although Little Bone sometimes looks stupid and cute, its comprehension ability is not weak at all, and it soon understood all the knowledge that Lin Zhi told it.
"If you understand, let's go. Lin Zhi took out the map from his skull.
To the northeast, between the forest and the river, there is a small mark, in addition to the pure green forest pattern:
Falling Rock Land.
