Section 58 The North

For them, it's a natural granary.

He waved his arm, his plump biceps coiled with dense veins. The long-handled battle axe he grasped in his right hand was changed to his left hand, and he stared intently at the rye winter in Tianhao's hand: "Third child, this grass grows so fast!" I remember that two days ago they were very short, how did they become like this all of a sudden? ”

"I don't know." A hint of self-deprecation flashed across Tianhao's handsome face: "I'm afraid only the gods can explain it to us." ”

Tianmad "hey, hey, hey" laughed a few times: "What now?" ”

"It's a natural pasture, and the Bighorn Deer can't be driven away if you stay here." As he spoke, Tianhao bent down and squatted on the ground, picked up a small pebble casually, and drew a few simple lines on the clearing where the snowflakes had melted and soaked: "This is our stockade, the east is the sea, the south is the cultivated land, and now the valley in the north, which is where we are now, is actually not far from the village." As long as it is connected, the whole place is ours. ”

He spoke concisely and to the point, and he had been by Tianhao's side for a long time, and Tianhao had become accustomed to this way of expression. He didn't think it was a humiliation to be a bodyguard by the side of his third brother, and his height and weight would never be comparable to his profound wisdom. The big man crouched down on one knee, his left hand holding the tomahawk with the handle facing down, and thought for a moment: "You mean, we are going to occupy this ranch?" ”

"Why not?" Tianhao is glad that Tianmad maintains the same thinking as himself: "The harvest of crops in the field will be affected by the weather, and precipitation or drought will largely determine the harvest of the year. But here it is different, I have observed for a long time, and the deer herd has remained at this size, and neither the increase nor the decrease is large. This means that they can self-regulate, and more importantly the food, which is the grass. It's growing just fast enough for the deer, like a nail that keeps them firmly in here and can't go anywhere. ”

A flash of joy flashed in Tianmad's eyes: "In other words, we will have enough wheat, fish, and venison every year in the future?" ”

"And cream and cheese." Tianhao didn't mind drawing a big pie in the air first, but he at least had enough solid evidence.

"It's done!" Tianmad let go of the hand holding the battle axe, lowered his head and spat in the palm of his hand, and rubbed his palms vigorously excitedly: "Third child, you say!" What to do? ”

"The old rules, now build the guard tower." Tianhao stood up straight, looked around, raised the tip of his right foot and lightly tapped the ground: "The first tower is located in this position, and then the second one will be built two hundred meters away." No matter how fierce the giant horned deer is, it can't compare to the black howling wolf. Tell the people below that you can shoot some of the bucks and try to catch the pregnant doe and fawns. Hehe...... Slaves had to be raised from an early age, kept in cages and starved for a while, and even the most violent beasts had to obey orders honestly. ”

Tianhao is not a professional animal trainer, but he knows how to domesticate beasts. If primitive man had not caught the first bison from the wasteland, it would not have been possible to talk about the high-quality breed cows that provided a lot of nutrients to humans in the era of civilization. The same is true for dogs, only if they are more ferocious and ruthless than wild wolves, more cruel and bloodthirsty than them, they will obediently fade into Labradors curled up at human feet and licking their master's toes.

……

The sky was overcast in early winter. The snow was not heavy, sparse, and melted before it reached the ground.

The warmth of the leather robe is very good, and with a cotton underwear worn underneath, there is no uncomfortable feeling of emptiness on the body.

Changfeng and Changlin were at the front, Tianmad and Tianhao were in the middle of the group, Xukun was in charge of the delay, and Ayi was the only woman in this small search team. Her slender figure was concealed by her thick deerskin robes, and her face was rubbed with bear oil, revealing enthusiasm and a smile in the cold wind.

What secrets are hidden in the north of the continent?

Zhan Jianhua didn't have much information left, and Tianhao had to find the answer by himself.

Twenty days passed.

Crossing the first ridgeline, Tianhao found that the plants here were very unfamiliar and had never been seen before.

The number of trees increased significantly, and the needle and broad-leaved types were mixed with each other. Broadleaf plants have spikes on the surface and hard leaves. Tianhao tried to cut a piece of bark from the surface of the trunk with a knife, and he found that the cortex structure was dense, and the outer dry layer was actually two centimeters thick, especially the cut part, which secreted a large amount of viscous brown liquid in just a few seconds, quickly covering the section in contact with the air.

This is a self-protection measure for plants. Just like when a human body bleeds from an injury, platelets in the body will accumulate in large quantities near the wound and build up into a thick blocking layer to reduce blood loss.

Xu Kun quickened his pace and ran to Tianhao's side, and persuaded in a low voice: "Leader, we can't go any further." The old man of the clan said that there were many monsters ahead. Our hunting party never goes in this direction, it's dangerous. ”

Tianhao glanced at him, smiled lightly and asked, "Monster...... Have you seen it? ”

Xu Kun was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned a little red: "...... No. ”

There have always been legends about monsters in the stockade. It has been circulating for a long time, and the specific time is impossible to verify.

"I haven't seen it either." Tianhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm measured." You're all here, you can't just look at nothing, do nothing, turn around and leave, right? ”

Xu Kun nodded and said no more.

Tianhao is not stubborn and indiscriminate.

Since yesterday, he has discovered something shocking.

Concrete everywhere. It is very hard and maintains a style familiar to its time. Occasionally, I will pick up concrete blocks with rusty steel bars stuck in the middle, some of which are too loose to see what they are.

The dense vegetation blocks the naked eye's view, hiding countless secrets deep inside. God knows exactly what they went through, the cold weather didn't affect them and they still stayed green. A variety of shrubs that cannot be named grow densely in the mountain forest, and many of them are bright red and interesting fruits. Ayi wanted to reach out to pick it up, but was blocked by Tianhao. Experience has taught him that the more exciting the wild fruit, the more terrible the toxicity it contains.

In just a few days, Tianhao found that two fusion points suddenly appeared in his body.

He'd been trying to figure out how this thing was growing, but he had no idea. Aside from the first point successfully generated by parasitism, in the past year, Tianhao has only added a new point. But now, only a few days after leaving the Giant Horn Deer Ranch gave him such a big surprise.

Without hesitation, he directly put the two fusion points into physical fitness.

It would take some time for the enhancement effect to manifest, which further stimulated Tianhao's curiosity to explore further to the north of the continent.

Zhan Jianhua is right, there are too many mysteries hidden in this land.

Several people climbed up to the top of the mountain along the dirt slope, panting and stepping on the solid ground to stand up straight, Tianhao felt that the whole person was shocked, and he almost couldn't keep his balance and fell from the narrow standing position.

He felt like he was stepping on something.

"Over there...... Look over there, what's that? Tianfeng raised his hand and pointed straight ahead, his face was pale, his neck seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, and he could only make a hoarse sound.
