Chapter 180: Drilling wood for fire
In the early morning of the 17th day of the third month of the Mayan calendar, in an unknown forest located in the abyss demon cave, three women and a man brought dried vegetables next to a small tree, and one used the most primitive method of drilling wood to make fire, and used a sharp small wooden stick to dig a small hole in the trunk of a dead tree, and frantically held the small wooden stick with both hands and rotated.
It was baptized by a violent storm, the whole forest was a mess everywhere, the towering trees that could only be surrounded by eight or nine people were scorched by thunder and lightning, the dense primeval forest was now hit by the torrent and the rain broke the water, some of the big trees and even the leaves had already been stripped of the leaves by the wind and rain, and under the backdrop of the leaves, the huge trunks stood alone there, which looked extremely desolate.
"Okay, it's burning", I saw that the firewood pile, which had been only smoking and not seeing the flames, suddenly burst into a small flame, and the four women around the back were also excited to pick up a small piece of dry firewood and wanted to step forward to support, but they were interrupted by the sweaty drill wood to make the fire.
"What are you doing, if the fire that was finally ignited is destroyed by you, then I really can't do anything, I said Celestial Princess, I'm afraid of you, you three, you should learn more from Yi Meng, you look at people, not only are they witty and smart, but there are many things more than I know, you look at the three of you, except for the teacher who made a mess for me, I didn't do anything to help me, you just sit there quietly, you can eat it directly after I roast the pheasant, okay?" At this time, he begged again, as if the women had caused him a lot of trouble.
"Hmph, Tang Yuxuan, you are partial, I am Princess Ling Xuan of the Zihong Empire, who dared to talk to me like this before, I said that you are a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes, I don't know how many people in the empire are not even afraid of death in order to see me, but now you dislike me for many things? If I let my father know, I don't know how you died! The girl who claimed to be the princess of the Rainbow Empire said angrily.
"Come on, I don't know how many times you've said this, don't always be from the Rainbow Empire, if it weren't for me and the fairy spirit to rescue the three of you from the cave, you might have been eaten by some beast and there would be no scum left, I don't know if I want to repay it, and I just said something so ugly, it makes people really uncomfortable, I knew that you were such a person, I wouldn't save you, and I would have buried it in the cave together, so that I could still end up quiet", Tang Yuxuan didn't turn his head back and burned the leaves, and after the rainstorm a few days ago, it was the sun that burstThis is a typical characteristic of tropical regions, so the branches and leaves that have long been dried up before have dried up after exposure to the sun, otherwise you will not be able to drill out of the fire even if you are wet.
"You don't know how powerful we are, don't blame you, if you were in the empire, you would have been killed long ago if you were so disrespectful to us, then you would have to wait here for a long time, although we can't rank in the Central Empire in our Crescent Empire, but it's not a matter of a word to deal with you", at this time, Xiaoqi Gu Xue of the Crescent Empire also helped. "Yu Xuan, don't pay attention to them, these two princesses have rich and noble diseases, where have you suffered this kind of hardship, it's really not good to let the two of them fend for themselves, our mission is also a failure, it's better to go back early, if it really doesn't work, I'll go back to Xianling Island, I think it's enough to learn my own ability well, and there is no need to get a sacrificial certificate or something at the sacrificial academy, if you go back with me, I think grandpa will be very happy", at this time, Yilan didn't care about the words of the two women, Said directly to Tang Yuxuan. "Okay, anyway, Zifeng doesn't know where it is now, that proves that there is no point in going on, it's better to end it early, and I'll go back to the Seeman base to meet my brothers, I'm fed up these days, and I always encounter some strange things", Tang Yuxuan also nodded......
It turned out that since the circular cave in the Heavenly Demon Lord collapsed nine days ago, just as the exit was blocked by the cave, the fairy spirit pulled up Tang Yuxuan, who was holding the two women, and snorted, and instantly moved outside, and this also made her unconscious for two whole days, just before the thunderstorm came, he struggled to resist the four women into a cave on the slope of the mountain not far away, and thus escaped the rare flood, and the small amount of food made the five people far from enough, so he went out hunting with Yi Meng from the Snow Ji clan of the Ice Continent, Fortunately, this Yi Meng from the cold winter region is a good hunter, often when Tang Yuxuan has not reacted, Yi Meng has already called him to pick up the prey, which has solved the problem of food and clothing for the past few days, no, the weather turned sunny a few days ago, and a few people came to the outside of the forest, seeing the super destructive ability of nature, they couldn't help but sigh!
"No, you mean to leave us here, do you?" Can Ling Xuan not be nervous, if it weren't for this handsome guy these days, he would have died in this place full of snakes, insects, rats and ants, if he really left himself here like this, it is estimated that he would not survive today, so when he heard the two of them say this, he hurriedly asked.
"Otherwise, you are the princess of the Rainbow Empire, how can I, a pariah, afford to provoke me, in case one day you really order your father to eat me alive, then it is not worth it, it is better to stay away from you, lest I don't know how to die when I get it!" Tang Yuxuan replied.
"Yu Xuan, let's go, let's see if there is any prey around here, otherwise we won't land today!" Let's fill our stomachs first and then talk about the rest! You have to find a way to get out of this forest first, you guys just stay here, if there is any danger, there will be a cave at that time, I believe that with your strength to protect yourself, it shouldn't be a problem! Yi Meng, who was scouting nearby, came back and said to Tang Yuxuan, don't look at the simple bow and arrow in his hand, but his hunting skills can't be learned in a day or two.
Due to the fact that the Ice Continent is covered by ice and snow winds all the year round, there is no fertile soil like Xuanqing and ********, so the tribes living in the Ice Continent live by hunting all year round. And here you are often respected by the strong and the bloodline, and your status is often proportional to your ability!
Tang Yuxuan got up and patted his buttocks, and ordered a few people to pick some more fruits from the fruit trees on the nearby hillside that had not been flooded, although they were relied on to satisfy their hunger many times these days, but fortunately, it was better than nothing, and then he walked towards the dense forest with Yi Meng.
A moment later, the two of them waded through a ditch that was still up to their knees after the flood, and it was not strictly a river, not even a stream, but at most a ditch, a ditch that overflowed through the woods. Countless trees grow in the middle of the river, intertwined with roots, and some of them have their roots hanging down from their branches and dragging them into the water, while the river slowly dips through the gaps between the trees. The rainstorm that had just fallen made countless roots fall from the sky with cold rain, which made people's hearts cold, and the forest was even more black, and even half of the starlight could not be penetrated, and the two walked cautiously, for fear of stepping on something or touching something.
At this time, Tang Yuxuan asked Yi Meng, who was looking for a way in front of him, "Yi Meng, why are you in that cave?" It's our friend who is with you, and now it seems that he has been taken to some spirit and demon continent! ”
"Oh, you ask this, I don't know very well, at that time, my clan and I were hunting a fourth-order iron-skinned brute bull, and the casualties were very serious at that time, I was unconscious after being stunned to death by a brute bull, and I knew I saw you!" Yi Meng tilted his head slightly and looked at him with innocent eyes.
"Are you saying that you don't even know what happened during this time?" Tang Yuxuan said in surprise.
"It's like having a dream, and I saw the legendary phoenix spirit bird in the dream, but whenever I remember it, my head seems to be like a needle prick," Yi Meng gently rubbed his head and said.
"Well, according to Sister Yi Meng, judging from the situation, there must be something wrong with that invisible enchantment, Brother Xuan, you should still remember the brainwave resonance I told you, this kind of memory generation will only occur under a specific ionization reaction, if it is revoked, then he will not receive the ionization signal in this place, and he will naturally lose his memory, I think her situation is very similar to this, but what makes me wonder is how this kind of high-tech product that will only exist in the future can appear in this place?" At this time, Tang Yuxuan's ears heard Xiaohu's answer.
"Yu Xuan, hurry up, my stomach is already hungry, you don't think that you can satisfy your hunger by eating some hard, astringent and unripe fruits! I can't stand it, it's sunny now, I can't wait for another rainstorm", Yi Meng glanced ahead with a shuttle of eyes, it seemed that as long as it was the prey she saw, it would have nothing to hide, but unfortunately, no matter how sharp her eyes were, she didn't see a single bird.
At this time, Tang Yuxuan shouted from behind: "My God, these trees are so big!" ”
The trunk of the big tree that Tang Yuxuan touched was thick and staggering, it took at least more than ten strong men to hug it, and the root system covered the entire river, and it was intertwined with other tree roots, if you opened a hole at the root of the tree, you could pass the train, if you split the trunk into a platform, you could build a house, such a huge tree, he had seen it for the first time. What's even more terrifying is that it's not just this tree, but the whole forest in front of it, all of which are so huge, in the jungle before, the height of the tree was twenty or thirty meters high, and if it was more than fifty meters high, it was rare, and in the green canopy of the jungle, there was a feeling of standing out from the crowd. And the giant tree in this, towering to the sky, looking up, only to see the branches and leaves blocking the sky, not seeing the head at all, judging only from the trunk, each tree is more than 100 meters high, there is such a momentum in the tree giants, when the spruce of North America, but these trees are not spruce, can not say what kind, the plants stand like craggy strange stones, and like mountains and mountains. Not only the trees, but also the thorny bushes are more than ten meters high, and even the grass lurking on the ground is several meters long, which makes people feel like they have come to the giant country in the fairy tale world.
"What's the fuss, if you go to our Snow Ji tribe and let you see our Optimus Wood over there, although it is difficult for the plants of the Ice Continent to survive, those thousands of years old giant trees are often a spirit beast kingdom, and some tribes often choose to dig wood on top of these towering trees to form houses, so when you go to our side and see that the trees are inhabited, you must be surprised, that will be laughed at"!
The deeper the two of them went, the more strange the plants around them became, some of the roots of the tree were wrapped around another big tree like a snake, as if swallowing each other whole, and some trees grew directly from the trunk of other trees, and the roots climbed all over the trunk of the big tree, quite parasitic, and some plants opened flowers split into two pieces, and the edges all grew into jagged shapes, like the mouths of monsters. The denser the forest, the lower the temperature, the mist rising from the river, swirling with strange trees, only listening to the murmuring of water, and nothing else, the four of them felt that the breath coming out of their mouths also merged with the hazy mist, and they did not distinguish each other. In the steaming smoke, sometimes like an ancient beast, sometimes like a graceful beauty, sometimes like a modern town, sometimes like the vastness of the universe, the light is bizarre, like a dream.
