Australia's Aborigines are very hospitable, especially for those who have come from a voyage with magical crystal beads.

Xu Yang and the others received the most solemn reception in the village, and the patriarch of the Australian natives moved out the water tank in the group to provide Xu Yang and them with fresh water.

Cheng Chumo has been very happy since he came ashore, looking around, full of expectations for such a huge island.

"Big brother, you said that the people on this continent are surrounded by sea water, so is this the largest island in the world, or the smallest land?"

Cheng Chumo's magical question also stopped Xu Yang.

Taking a coconut leaf to block the blazing sun, Xu Yang diverted the topic, "I don't know if it's an island or land, but I know that there are more minerals in this land than you can imagine. ”

Cheng Chu's eyes lit up silently, "Big brother, overseas is really a treasure trove!" The first few spice islands can make us the richest in Datang, and now there are countless mineral gold, this overseas is really as the big brother said, gold everywhere! ”

Xu Yang seemed to be accustomed to other people's compliments, and said endlessly: "What are these things, those islands we occupied along the way are the real treasures, and when you and I return to heaven, future generations will always remember that this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they will also know that this is opened up by you and me." ”

Xu Yang's words are very inflammatory, especially this kind of good thing that will be famous for thousands of years, in Cheng Chumo's opinion, it is the eldest brother who takes care of him all the way, so that he can leave a name in history and be famous for centuries, and he has more and more respect for Xu Yang in his heart

After observing the aborigines for a long time, Niu Jinda did not have the slightest wariness of these natives, the humble Cheng dù in these places was simply inferior to the beggars' dwellings in the Tang Dynasty, and the wooden shacks did not have the slightest furniture in them, only some hanging dried fruits and meat slices.

A few goat-like animals were being eaten in the village, and the natives were very enthusiastic to give the mutton to the sergeants to eat, but looking at the roasted mutton with blood, Niu Jinda still politely refused the hospitality of the natives.

The natives did not care at all to eat these uncooked mutton, while dancing and singing with laughter, today is a great day for the whole village, because the natives can rarely hunt large sheep, this animal runs very fast, only the most daring and careful warriors can hunt them, today there are not only sheep, but also beautiful crystal glass beads.

Many native women consciously or unconsciously leaned towards the sergeants to admire the magical armor they were wearing.

For these foreign women with slightly thicker lips and wider bones, the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty have never been very cold, but after marching for five months, they are also very uncomfortable, as the saying goes, stay in the army for three years, sows race sable cicadas, although these indigenous women do not look very good, but their figures have nothing to say, their waists are thin and big, and the two plump chests can't be covered at all with just a few palm leaves, and the sergeants who look at them are also swallowing saliva.

Cheng Chumo and Xu Yang did not go to participate in the song and dance, but asked Lao Niu for instructions, and the two led the team to patrol near the village, and by the way, they surveyed the terrain.

A group of people followed the path that the natives had walked out.

Cheng Chumo was very curious about this continent, and asked this and that from time to time on the road, Xu Yang also patiently answered him one by one.

"Big brother, what kind of trees are these tall trees? I've never seen it in Datang. Cheng Chumo saw a lot of tall trees along the way, with small leaves and broad-lanceolates, which felt very novel.

"Oh, this tree is called eucalyptus, which is unique to the Australian continent and cannot be seen in my Datang." Xu Yang said casually.

"Oh~~ Huh!?" Cheng Chumo was about to agree, but it turned into an exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yang subconsciously looked in the direction where Cheng Chumo was looking, and saw a cute koala lying on the eucalyptus tree.

"Koala!" Xu Yang shouted excitedly.

"What?" Cheng Chumo was also a little stunned.

Xu Yang turned his head and said: "The animal lying on the tree is the koala, an animal unique to Australia, with a docile temperament, an honest body, and very cute." Then he ordered the sergeant behind him to go to the tree and take down the sloth.

Cheng Chu silently volunteered to go up the tree and catch the koala himself.

After seeing Xu Yang's acquiescence, Cheng Chu silently climbed the eucalyptus tree, cautiously approached the sloth, and waited until there was an arm's length before grabbing the thing.

"Haha. Big brother, got it. Cheng Chumo rode on the branch and said with a smile.

"Be careful, come down." Xu Yang also smiled.

"Okay." As soon as Cheng Chumo wanted to get off the tree, he was a little dazed, why didn't this sloth even make a sound after being caught by himself for so long?

"Big brother, this thing seems to be dead, why doesn't it move?" Cheng Chumo sat on the tree and asked awkwardly.

When Xu Yang heard this, he laughed a few times and said, "This thing sleeps for twenty hours a day, and now it is sleeping." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Chumo was a little shocked and said, "Twenty hours? Wouldn't that be moldy? ”

"yes, they stink, you smell your hands." Xu Yang snickered.

Cheng Chumo subconsciously sniffed his hands and fell from the tree

"Big brother, you can't cheat me like this next time." Cheng Chumo said with a face full of grievances.

"Haha." Xu Yang still can't forget the embarrassed appearance of Cheng Chumo falling from the tree. "Where did I pit you, you volunteered to catch a sloth."

"But big brother, you didn't tell me that this sloth stinks."

"You didn't ask."

On the way, Xu Yang and Cheng Chumo bragged and fart, and soon went out of the woods and saw a very lush wasteland grassland, where the grass was very lush, and there were a few gravel areas, and the scenery was very chic.

"Ah~Australia!" Xu Yang opened his arms as a hug, and the poor who had never been abroad in later generations were now able to set foot on a foreign land and enjoy this unique and spectacular scenery, which has to be said to be very novel.

Cheng Chumo had already been immune to Xu Yang's hysteria, and he also followed him to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this beautiful barren grassland.

But his eyes were sharp, and he could see a few small black dots running quickly from a distance.

"Big brother! Look what that is! Cheng Chumo was a little flustered.

Xu Yang quickly opened his eyes, only to see a burst of loess in the distance, and then more than a dozen ostriches with their feet running and stretching their long necks came into view

When Cheng Chumo and Xu Yang returned, it was a little dark.

The natives seemed to be tirelessly preparing for the bonfire in the evening, but unfortunately there was no meat, so they had to take out the stored jerky and prepare for the evening celebration.

But when Xu Yang led his subordinates back with more than thirty ostriches, these natives were completely shocked, they had all seen how fast Grucha ran, this is an animal that people can't catch, even the strongest warriors can't catch them, they can only wait for them to fall into the trap, it is possible to eat these Grucha.

The patriarch took a lot of natives and shouted 'Grucha' and welcomed Xu Yang and them into the village, Cheng Chumo rolled up his sleeves, planning to cook a roast bird meat by himself, I don't know if this extraterritorial ostrich is delicious, but it looks big enough.

Knowing from the mouths of the natives, the name of these ostriches is 'Grucha', which means the fastest in the natives' language, Cheng Chumo smiled, no matter how fast things in this world are, they can't be as fast as the Tang Dynasty's Eight Bull Crossbow.

This afternoon's hunting in the wilderness was a great one, and the flora and fauna on this island called Australia are very interesting, and they don't seem to have any natural predators, so in the words of Big Brother, they are evolving too slowly.

Cheng Chumo didn't know what slow evolution meant, but he knew that these animals all had a characteristic, they would only escape when other animals were thirty steps close to him, you must know that the maximum range of the Eight Bull Crossbow improved by the Xuyang Ghost Valley Manufacturing Technique in the Tang Dynasty was one hundred and twenty steps.

In the afternoon, you can put yourself in a very comfortable position and shoot all kinds of wasteland animals from a distance

The next day, the Xuyang fleet held a grand occupation ceremony at the highest point of the village.

Niu Jinda, dressed in the armor of Mingguang, stood on the high ground, holding the holy decree in his hand, and recited aloud the holy decree that he was appointed as an overseas pioneer, and then witnessed by three generals, the uncivilized Australia was included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone held a grand occupation ceremony today.

The sacrifice among the natives led the whole village of natives, who learned in a good way, knelt down, chanted incantations that no one understood, and then sprinkled dew, as if to bathe each native.

A lieutenant in the army was appointed as the Metropolitan Governor of Australia, in charge of northern Australian affairs, and ten historians included this matter in the "Records of the Tang Dynasty".

Niu Jinda personally held the golden dragon flag and planted it high on a high ground, and below the high ground were three hundred Tang soldiers wearing formal armor, and the women of the native people were all attracted by the heroic and majestic Tang men in front of them.

The carver erected the carved stele at the entrance of the village, and gave the village a village name 'Xiangyun' Village, hoping that in the future, Datang could be like overseas territory, with auspicious clouds everywhere.

Large-scale excavation work has also begun on the mountain north of the village, where Niu Jinda intends to carve a large Tang script to tell future generations that this is already the boundary of the Tang Dynasty. RS
