Crash!

Crash!

The raindrops the size of beans fell on the deck, splashing like small fountains.

The splash landed on the deck and immediately turned into small bubbles.

These little blisters look like transparent hats.

With such a heavy rain, Yang Qiwa couldn't stay on the mast anymore, so she hid in the hatch of the ship, looking at the white sky outside.

Since arriving on this continent a few days ago, the "Gewu Academy" has begun to usher in a special baptism of rain.

In the morning, the sun was still rising, and the sky was clear, but after an hour, it was pouring rain.

Immediately after that, it was the first sunny day after the rain, and a beautiful rainbow appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

However, the ship had just raised its sails, and before it had gone half an hour, another heavy rain came.

"Second brother, this weather is very weird, completely different from Chang'an City."

I don't know when, the two brothers Zhu Tong and Zhu Yin also crowded into the hatch of the ship, looking at the heavy rain outside, full of helplessness.

In this kind of weather, it is normal for the ship to drop anchor and everyone to take shelter on the shore.

However, it is raining and the wind is not very strong.

Those on the shore who are unfamiliar with the place may be more dangerous, so the "Gewu Academy" found a natural harbor, and everyone stayed on board.

Zhu Yin: "It's the end of August now, and it stands to reason that it's late autumn, but a lot of weeds here are just blooming, which is completely opposite to Chang'an City." ”

Zhu Tong: "Yes, according to the law of weather changes we summarized before, it is almost useless to put it here. ”

Zhu Yin: "It's been like this for a few days, if my guess is right, this should be the rainy season that His Royal Highness the King of Chu said before." Spring, summer, autumn and winter, this is the well-known division of the seasons, at that time His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that there are no four seasons in some places a year, only the dry season and the rainy season, I still can't understand, now it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really strategizing, not going out and knowing the world's affairs. ”

Zhu Tong: "If it's really the rainy season, it won't end in a while." We are not really at sea for this time. ”

Zhu Yin: "That's right, so I'm going to discuss with the two Li Langzhong in a while, whether to leave the ship in this port, let's go to the land, take a walk inside, and see how things on this land are different from Datang." As long as the depth of the land is deep enough, it can also prove that the area of the continent is vast. ”

Zhu Tong: "This port is a natural harbor, with land on three sides, and only a few miles wide mouth connects to the sea, and ships basically don't feel any wind and waves in the port. ”

Zhu Yin: "So I think this port is suitable as a supply point for us, and in the future, the fleet will come from Puluo and settle here." With the size of this port, there is no problem with docking a few hundred sea vessels. ”

Zhu Tong: "I think so too, second brother, let's just go to the cabin first, and discuss it with Li Geng and Li Yixie." ”

……

Yongping Port, this is the name agreed upon by several bigwigs of the Guanshishan Academy.

Li Geng took the lead, led a group of people to cut down trees, and set up a proposed house near the port.

If you are ready to explore the interior, you need to be prepared.

In addition, everyone considers Yongping Port as the first place for Puluo to come to Australia in the future, and it is necessary to build some houses.

Even Zhu Yin has volunteered to stay here at that time, study Australia's climate change and local products, and lead people to build Yongping Port, until the new fleet comes.

"Second brother, through the observation of the past half a month, it seems that this rainy season is not as dangerous as imagined, as long as you avoid staying in low-lying places, in fact, everyone should still do something."

Seeing that the outside of the house had once again become a white world, Zhu Tong no longer felt anything special.

"Well, Li Geng has already told everyone, starting tomorrow, half of the people will stay in Yongping Port to continue construction, and the remaining half of the people will be divided into two roads and go to the inland area to see if there are any finds. In the past, His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that there are often new species, new crops, and new mineral deposits in the new world, and even he said that if everyone is lucky enough, it is not strange to be able to find a large pile of dog-headed gold, and as for a large open-pit coal mine, it is more normal. ”

Although Zhu Yin is most passionate about climate change research, climate change is also inseparable from geography.

In order to understand the climate change situation on the continent of Australia and add more material to your own climate research, it is essential to be familiar with the local geography.

Of course, since everyone has decided to focus on the construction of Yongping Port, it would be best if there were some minerals nearby.

"Minerals or something, I don't think it's necessarily so anxious, but to see how to solve the food problem, which is something that everyone needs to consider. Li Geng and Li Yixie, two Lang Jun, had already started hunting nearby yesterday, but they shot several wild goats. Yang Qiwa also fished near the dock with a group of sailors, but basically did not need to consume the grain stored in the cabin, otherwise we would not have stayed long in Yongping Port. ”

The issue of eating and drinking, no matter where it is, is a rigid need.

In terms of fresh water, the fleet has found several small rivers flowing to the port in Yongping Port, so there is no need to worry about running out of water to drink.

But what to eat needs to be discovered.

If you stay in the port all the time, fishing can basically solve the problem of food, after all, many members of the fleet are from the East China Sea fishing industry, and many of them have experience in fishing.

However, the further you go deeper into the continent, the more unrealistic fishing becomes.

Just as the two brothers Zhu Tong and Zhu Yin were talking, the heavy rain outside suddenly stopped.

The sun shone brightly on the wet ground, and it only took a quarter of an hour to dry out many places.

If it weren't for the water in the various low-lying areas, it would be hard to believe that there had just been a heavy rain.

"Let's go, do you want to go out with me and see if you can solve today's dinner!"

Li Geng, with a big knife at his waist and a strong bow in his hand, was taking a few good sailors out of the residential area that had not yet become a large scale.

"Second brother, let's go and have a look. The academy also teaches everyone to ride and shoot, and my archery skills have always been good, but I haven't shown my hand well. ”

Zhu Tong didn't want to stay in the wooden house anymore, so he hurriedly went back and brought a strong bow and arrows, and followed behind Li Geng.

This time, the more than 200 crew members on the Gewu Academy can be said to have gone to sea in full gear.

Xu Jingzong even specially applied for a batch of crossbow arrows from Xue Li, in order to let the ship have the power to protect itself.

As for all kinds of arrows, they are piled up in the cabin.

Soon, dozens of people were around Li Geng, and the rest of the port continued to be busy building the temporary settlement.

Li Yixie, who was born in a military general's family, personally led everyone to start building a walled wall around the settlement as if he were building a military village to prevent possible dangers.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu also reminded everyone at the beginning that there are also natives in the New World.

Some natives may be tame, while others are like savages, so be careful.

I don't know, the crew on the Guanshishan Academy, in the eyes of some natives, is the food sent to the door.

"Li Langjun, there seem to be a lot of goats around here, it seems that this place should be more suitable for raising sheep."

Zhu Tong followed Li Geng and slowly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Within a radius of one or two miles from the port, everyone has swept around for a while these days, so this time Li Geng directly led everyone to walk forward for half an hour and came to an area that they had never been to before.

There are no roads, and there is no sign of human activity.

Li Geng and the others are moving forward along the ravines washed out by the rain, but fortunately, although the rain here is big and urgent, but because it is like this every year, there will not be a scene like the water flooding Jinshan Temple when it rains.

This made it a lot easier for Li Geng and his party to travel.

"Ahh Blame...... Blame ......"

A crew member behind Li Geng pointed to the left front, nervously speechless.

"What's the blame? What's so weird? ”

Zhu Tong interjected a sentence on the side.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that several strange animals appeared in the direction of the crew's finger.

I saw four or five strange brown animals on the green grass, with pointed heads, jumping up and down eating grass.

However, perhaps sensing the invasion of these outsiders, one of the monsters raised its head, stared in the direction of the crowd, and stood there motionless.

That's right, just standing there.

Zhu Tong could clearly see that although this monster had four legs, it was standing like a human.

It's a bit rare.

"This ...... What is it? ”

Li Geng also noticed the anomaly on the left.

"Look, there seems to be a little monster on this monster's belly."

"Second brother, could this be the animal with a pocket on the stomach that His Royal Highness the King of Chu said?"

When Li Kuan was in class at Guanshishan Academy, he never prepared a serious lesson plan, and more often than not, he was telling some strange stories and legends to the students.

is like this animal with a pocket on its belly, when Li Kuan introduced it at the time, everyone didn't question it much, and they didn't take it seriously.

After all, there are many more strange monsters in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

It's just that now seeing this monster appear in front of everyone, many people really can't accept it for a while.

"This monster seems to be taller than a human, it looks like it weighs at least two hundred pounds, if there are a lot of these monsters in Australia, it seems that we don't have to worry about food anymore."

Li Geng said something without pity.

However, after all, everyone has never eaten the meat of this kind of monster, and it is still a little difficult to accept it for a while.

"Li Langjun, I see that there seem to be a lot of wild goats near Yongping Port, and I saw several herds in the distance just now, or let's hunt some goats to eat." I have never seen anything before, and I always feel weird when I eat it. ”

Zhu Tong looked at the monster's pointed head, but it was a little similar to a mouse, and he felt that it was better not to eat it.

"Do you think we should catch a few and raise them back, and bring them back to Chang'an when the time comes, so that everyone can also see this kind of monster?"

Zhu Yin's suggestion has won the approval of many people.

"We've actually touched these Pokbeasts, so let's just catch them. It will be more memorable to talk about at that time, after all, this is the first time we have encountered it. ”

After Li Geng finished speaking, he put down the strong bow and handed it to a guard beside him for safekeeping, and the master of the art boldly walked towards the pocket beasts empty-handed.

Well, Li Geng's name of the pocket beast was quickly recognized by everyone.

Squeak!

Squeak!

As Li Geng slowly approached, the Pommies all stopped grazing.

The original small eyes widened.

One of them seemed a little scared and ran away.

However, the remaining strong ones were still standing motionless.

"I'm going to help too."

Zhu Tong felt that Li Geng couldn't catch several pocket beasts at the same time, so he put down his strong bow and followed.

"Ahh

Li Geng suddenly couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

It turned out that as he approached, the pocket beast, which was originally quiet, suddenly had one that looked the strongest, but it suddenly stood upright.

Looking at the unruly temperament, sparse stubble, strong chest, muscles coiled, and green tendons exposed, it made Li Geng a little more vigilant.

You don't have to use your hands, just looking at the momentum, you know that this pocket beast should have some brute strength.

"Li Langjun, I'll go first."

Zhu Tong had already caught up with Li Geng, and at this time, he took the lead and trotted towards the pocket beast, and directly volleyed a flying kick.

However, the pocket beast jumped and easily dodged Zhu Tong's blow.

Seeing that Zhu Tong had already made a move, Li Geng also ran to another pocket beast.

It is estimated that it is the first time in his life that he has seen a human being, this pocket beast is bouncing around, waving its upper limbs, but it looks like it is going to try boxing with Li Geng.

However, Li Geng slapped his right fist in the face unexpectedly, and the pocket beast instantly looked confused.

But that's it.

Li Geng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that this grazing animal is not as powerful as a lion or tiger.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After being punched a few times by Li Geng one after another, the pocket beast finally reacted.

I saw that he used his flexible upper limbs and began to fight back and forth with Li Geng.

After a few moves, Li Geng knew that he didn't need to draw a knife to have the ability to capture it alive, but he had the idea of having a good time.

"Bang!"

Not long after Li Geng's idea came to him, the tail of the cold pocket beast twitched.

Li Geng, who never thought that this guy could attack with his tail, was accidentally pulled by his tail, and the whole person was almost stunned.

On this battlefield, you really can't underestimate the enemy.

At the same time, Zhu Tong was also kicked several times in succession by the pocket beast in front of him, making him a little embarrassed.

Although Zhu Tong and Li Geng are both well-trained, the pocket beast's move is a move without a move.

You don't know where its next punch, or next kick, or next tail, will come from.

Fortunately, the other crew members also stepped forward to help, and after a while, they finally subdued these pocket beasts.

"I miscalculated today, it seems that if you encounter a pocket beast in the wild in the future, you still have to be careful, without a sword, the average crew is really not its opponent."

Zhu Tong's blue nose and swollen eyes helped the limbs of the pocket beast with a rope, and he complained a little depressedly.

"That's true, I look at this pocket beast, there should be few opponents on this land, and it's still a bit dangerous for everyone to encounter it."

Li Geng is not much better than Zhu Tong, and even he almost got bad luck today.

Because the Pocket Beast he was fighting with almost kicked his little brother with a kick, which made him feel uneasy even now.

carelessly lost Jingzhou, this is talking about himself.

It seems that he will list this pocket beast as the most dangerous animal in Australia in the future.
